poned, with the remark from Edmunds
that he should not wish that the action be
understood as determination that proper
special inquiry into the subject at some
future session be decided adversely.
Among the bills introduced and referred
were the following

the Indian reservation to the Rio Grande.

Berry Offered resolution directing. in
cases where tax was collected from citi-
zens, either directly or by the sale of prop
erty, that the amount shall be paid to the
Governor in trust for such citizens, whether
the State be or be not indebted to the
United States.
Sherman. Beck, Salisbury, Plumb, Nc
Pherson and Chandler spoke in opposition
to the resolution, which was then rejected
IS to II.
Berry said that, as his amendment had
been voted down, he did not think the bill
was just one, and he hoped it would not
pass.
Gray favored the passage of the BILL but
argued that, as the States had dealt directly
with the General Government, the latter
should directly deal with the States in re-

WASHINGTON, January 10th.-Denis Kear-

appearance in Washington this morning.
He was introduced to many members of
the House by Congressman Cummings of
New York. Denis says he is here to look
after legislation generally, and to fight the
Chinese in particular, but he expects to
write few letters to a New York news
paper on the labor question. He saws he

Discussion Over the Publication of
Letters from Home-Seekers.
SAN FRANCISCO January 10th.-There
was a small attendance at the regular meet
ing of the Executive Committee State
Board of Trade to-day. A. L. Hatch of
Suisun presided.
Secretary Davies read abstracts of q
number of letters received from prospective
immigrants. The Secretary reported that
these abstracts had been sent to various
local Boards OF Trade in different counties,
so that the specific inquiries or demands
might be best answered.
Mr.. Bartlett suggested that these abstracts
of letters making inquiries, etc, be pub
lished by the various local Boards in the
respective local papers in their districts.
Mr.. Byington opposed such plan saying
that this information belonged properly
only to the State Board and its affiliations,
and should not be given publicly to any
real estate man who chanced to desire it.
Mr.. Cadwalader of San Jose indorsed the
views of Mr.. Byington and said the San
Jose Board took the same view of the
matter.
President Hatch said that he was un-
aware that the local Boards were real es-
tate dealers either as organizations or in
dividuals, and expressed confidence that
the more widely the information obtained
is disseminated among the people the more
good it would do and the greater advan-
tage would result.
Mr.. Bartlett suggested that the names of
certain respondents might easily be with
held. That plan would remove the sting
from Mr.. Byington's objections. The dis
cussion was closed for the time, there be-
ing no formal motion before the Board.
Manager Brown OF special committee
reported that a recommendation to buy
some $4,000 copies of the New Years issue
of contemporary journal was not regarded
favorably after consideration. Other papers
also published excellent issues, and the
committee did not think it polite to dis
criminate. Financial reasons also influ-
enced the committee in deciding the matter.

Six Persons Killed and Fifty Injured by
a Railroad Accident.
HAvERHILL Mass, January 1Oth.-The
Portland (Me) express which left Boston
for Portland at l o'clock met with a seri-
Gus accident this afternoon between Brad
ford Station and the Haverhill bridge over
the Merrlmac river, caused by the rails
spreading near frog on curve where the
turn is made to run on the bridge. The
train consisted of an engine, two baggage
cars, smoking parlor and three passenger
cars. The engine passed safely, but the
smoker and two passenger cars left the
track. The smoking car ran on the bridge
and turned over. One coach smashed into
the water-tank house and the other through
the sleeper.
THE CRASH WAS FEARFUL,
And the cries of the people terrible to hear.
The cars did not take fire. Six persons are
known TO have been killed, and several
others are expected to die, and many 9TH
ers are more or less seriously injured.
The train was on time anG running at
the ordinary speed. Physicians were sum
moned and the wounded and dying were
rapidly cared for. Several bodies were
mangled beyond recognition.
KILLED AND INJURED.
The list of killed, as far as ascertained, is
as follows:
John O'Brien, of Bradford.
John Madden, Section Boss, of Bradford.
G. P. Goodwin, wife and child, uf Kenne-
bunk, Me.
An unknown man, having card in bis
pocket with the name of ] Hazelton.
Fifty-two passengers in all were wounded,
some badly.
HEART RENDING SIGHT.
One of the saddest sights was the death
of Mrs. G. p. Goodwin and little daughter
of Kennebunk. The mother was riding in
the second passenger car, with her little
child in her arms. Both were instantly
killed, as was her husband.

MEXICAN RAILWAYS.

in Mexico.
CHICAGO, January 10th.-The Times
Piedras Negras (Mexico) special says: The
connecting link of the Mexican Interna-
tional Railway, between San Filipe, in this
State (Coahuila), formerly the terminus
of the road, and the city of Lerdo in the
State of Durango, an important station on
the Mexican Central Railway was COM
pleted last evening, and all rail communi-
cation now exists from this city to the
City of Mexico. This completes the second
American railway to the City of Mexico,
and shortens the distance from New York
and all points East of the Mississippi to the
City of Mexico over seven hundred miles,
as compared with the Mexican Central
route via Ell Paso.
The Mexican International is controlled
by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company,
which has been quietly building toward
Lerdo for tn past two years. The dis
tance from Ell Paso to Lerdo over the
Mexican Central is 514 miles, while the
distance from Eagle Pass, Tex, to Lerdo
by the new route just completed is only
80 miles, saving of 204 miles, making
the total distance from Eagle Pass to the
City of Mexico by the International route
1920 miles, against 1924 via the Mexican
Central from FL Paso. No date has yet
been fixed for the formal opening of the
new line. Work on the International
Railway bridge between this city and Eagle
Pass has begun and will be pushed to an
early finish. The structure will be one of
the largest steel bridges in America

AN APACHE GANG.
San Carlos Renegades Still Pnrsuing
Their Bloody Work.

TOMBSTONE, January .-Superintend-
ent Russell, of the San Pablo mine, So
nora, has arrived with news that a pros
pecting party of four men was attacked
ninety miles southeast of Nascassari on
Christmas, by Apaches. The party was
ambushed, and one man, named Jacobs,
killed at the first fire.
Another, Big Jake " Offer, was mortallv
wounded. The other men fought the In
dians off and escaped.
Realizing the nature of his wounds, and
determined not to fall into the hands of
the Apaches, Big Jake" broke his rifle
and then shot himself through the brain
with a six-shooter.
The Indians succeeded in getting some
burros and provisions from the party.
The survivors of the fight say that there
were four Indians and one white man.
This is the same band, no doubt, who es-
capped from General Miles near the San
Bernardino ranch at the time of Geroni-
mos surrender, and who have since been
raiding in Southern Sonora.

Inquiry Concerning the Kind of Steel
Used in the Cruiser Charleston

WASHINGTON, January 1Oth.-The in
quiry into the quality of the steel used in
building the cruiser Charleston. at San
Francisco, is still progressing at the Navy
Department. The statement published t.
the effect that some of the steel beams had
been broken while in the hands of the
workmen was denied at the time on all
sides.
1t appears that a report from Constructor
Ferdinand, who is experimenting the con-
struction of the vessel, has been received at
the Navy Department, explaining the facts
in the case. Access to this report is at
present refused to the press, but officers
through whose hands the paper has passed
admit that it shows the beams were frac-
tured while being bent slightly to serve as
deck beams. 1t also appears that the steel
of which they were made had successfully
undergone all of the severe tests imposed
by the Steel Board, with view to securing
reliable, serviceable material,
