What Idaho Papers Think Of That Wen
lerill Investigation.
IT IS A BLOOMING FARCE.
It Took the State Board Long Time
to Find Out Nothing. The Report is
Received With General DlsfayOr.

Warden Mack. of the state peni-
Tertiary, publishes card in which
he accounts for most of his troubles
In the management Of that institu-
ton to the characterization of Off
GERS under him, who were continu-
ally plotting his overthrow, and
seeking their own promotion. He
proposes now to clean up the field
and burn the sagebrush. He is
wiser this month than he was last
month, but will he carry out his
resolves? Will he be warden or
will he be a plastic tool in the
hands of others? That's the ques-
ton. Any man entrusted with an
honorable position ought to be boss
of that position, or, acknowledging
his weakness, ought to step down
and out of it. His excellency,
Governor Wiley, might have saved
his administration much free adj
vertisement had he issued verbal
proclamation within the capitol
building to this effect: am gov

A letter from Warden Mack, ex-
planning his side of the prison mat

to be harsher in discipline than
they, permitted the practice to go
on undisturbed, He, however,
promises to ''sin no more.-Nampa

The last support has crumbled
away and the beautiful fabric Of
prison management stands upon
its own testimony-confessed and

from the governor, which ISLANDERS
the facts upon which it is supposed
to be founded and reprobates the
best sentiments his excellency ever
uttered, could not avert the catas-
trophe. And in the midst of dis
aster, the intrepid general abruptly
deserts his friends and leaves
the state to labor abroad in the in
terest of that cause which his in
domitable zeal and matchless abil-
tiles SO nearly ruined at home.
And the honorable secretary of

WAR TELEGRAPHY.

An Interesting Experiment in Field Te1eg-

Army Maneuvers Evidently Patterned
After the American Service, with Some

vention. The wagon is lightly but
strongly constructed, and is fully
equipped with the electrical and me-
chanical appliances of different systems
of telegraphy. NJ. Deserves ordered
this travelling office to accompany
the army in its march, and directed
the telegraph employees along the
route to contribute in every way
possible to the success of the proposed
experiment. The wagon moved with
the supply and ammunition trains inn

Collision with the Greek Steamer

rine disaster that has occurred in
many years, took place in the
Hgean sea off Cape Colonna yesterday,
the first intelligence of which was
brought by the Greek steamer Thes-
saiia, which has just arrived in port.
The Thessalia collided with and sunk
the Italian steamer Taormina of the
italian Messengers line, and her cap
tain, several of the crew and forty pas
sengers were drowned. The calamity
was caused by misunderstanding of
signals, and though every attempt was
made by the officers of both vessels to
prevent the accident, the bow of the
Thessalia, plowed into the side of the
Italian steamer, cutting hole
through which the sea rushed in, and
in a few minutes the stricken ship set
tied down beneath the water.
Heroic endeavors were made by the
crew of the Greek steamer to rescue
the people of the Taormina. and a num-
Der of passengers and the ships second
officer, who were standing on the
bridge when the crash came, were
taken off before the water reached
them.
Most of the passengers lost were in
the cabins at the time of the collision,
and went to their death without mo-

several hours after the ship went down
in the hope of saving those who might
be found floating, and for the purpose
of picking up the bodies of the drowned
passengers, but none were found. Both

loaded with human freight The Thes-
salia suffered considerable injury, but
was able to make port without much
difficulty.

MINISTER EGAN.
He is Playing the Role of Intercessor-
His Course Ipheld.


VALPARAISO, Sept. I.-United States
Minister Egan is a very busy man at
present. lie is playing the role of in
tercessor for mercy toward the con-
quered. He is using the strongest in
fiuence at his command upon prominent
men in the iunta's party in behalf of
Balmaceda'S erstwhile supporters to
prevent the confiscatiOn of their prop
erty. 1t is very likely that his efforts
will have considerable weight, as there
has. within the past few days, been d
complete change in the attitude of the
junta's people toward him. Among
other signs of this is an editorial in the
leading paper here. 1t expressed great
Indignation at the attacks made upon
Minister Egan both in Chilli and abroad,
and declares that all statements charg-
ing him with partisanship are utterly
baseless. His conduct, it says, has been
as unselfih as it has been been praise
worthy. That this is the truth, it
adds, many prominent members of
the iunta's cause can testify. Min
lister Egan's timely and courage
Gus intervention at various critical
times, it says, saved many we'll
known Chilians of the congressional
party from disgrace and suffering.
There are many incidents, it states,
that may not be published at the pres
ent, but when they are revealed to the
people it will be found that Minister
Egan has stood in an enviable light
when compared to the other foreign
ministers in Chilli. His private conduct,
it says. has been generous to all in dis
tress, and sympathetic to those over
come by misfortune.

OYSTER BAY, l.. l., Sept. 10.-The
boiler of the locomotive of the regular
passenger train on the Long Island
railway, scheduled to leave here at FOG
u m, exploded with terrific force while
the train was standing at the station.
Engineer Donaldson, Fireman Dicllin-

stantly killed, their bodies being
thrown some distance and horribly
mutilated. The locomotive was COM
pletely wrecked There was a large
number of passengers on board the
train, and some of the passengers were
thrown on the floor receiving slight
cuts and bruises, but so far as known
none were seriously hurt.
The train known as No 6, and usual
ly carried residents of Oyster Bay who
have to attend to business in New
York every day. Conductor Jones of
the train, who was standing near the
locomotive at the time of the explo-
sion, was thrown several yards and Sc

cal. 1t is supposed that low water
caused the explosion. The engine was
inspected but short time ago.

stringent Measures Passed by the Ten
nessee Legislature in Order to Meet the
Trouble Among the Miners.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Sept 12.-The
state superintendent of prisons, who is
in Nashville to-day, telegraphed the
warden at Briceville that the order of
the state board of prison inspectors
that the convicts be put to work again
in the mines must be obeyed. Superin-
tendent Wade said he regarded the sit
uation at Briceville as very serious.
The senate yesterday passed, on final
reading, the bill to appropriate S25, 900
for the maintenance of the national
guard of Tennessee.
The house passed this bill and also
the military bill recently passed by the
senate. The latter bill authorizes the
governor to call out the national guard
and every sheriff in the state if neces-
sary and keep them as long as he may
deem proper to prevent and suppress
unlawful assemblages. The two bills
will doubtless be signed by the gov
ernor. The miners committee deny
that there is any immediate prospect of
trouble at Briceville.
