SEVEN MEET DEATH.
WORKMEN KILLED IN A MIL
 WAUKEE COLLISION.
The Accident Caused by . Misplaced switch-FataI Negligence of switch man, Who Is Under Arrest-Csrs Not Much Damaged.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 3.-Seven helpless men ground to death under mass of iron and heavy timber. without moments warning of their fate such is the result of blunder which Emil Barthels, switchman in the Chi cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul yards, will have to explain before coroner's jury or stand a trial for manslaughter. The dead are:
 DUERINGER, JOSEPH, aged ss years single.
 DUESING, J. F., aged 60 years married.
 GRUNDSKOwSKL JOHN, aged 90 years. KABASINSKI, STANISLAUS, aged zs years.
 PRESS. FRANK, aged a years.
 WAGNER, PAUL aged 70 years, single.
 WEISS. ROBERT, aged 24 years, single.
 The horror which was caused by the switchman's criminal neglect occurred shortly before o'clock yesterday af- ternoon in the st. Paul freight com pany's freight-yards at the foot of Nineteenth street. A train of seven box-cars from the West Milwaukee shops. bearing more than 300 laborers and mechanics who had quit work on the 'short shift" at 3:30 o'clock, was speeding along to town at rate of fourteen miles an hour on the south main track. The Watertown passenger was running parallel to the "shop train" as it is called on the middle track. when it veered from its course over a misplaced switch and crashed into the heavily-laden shop train.
 The passenger engine struck the shop train just in the rear of the first car, which was, however, only splintered and remained on the track with the engine. The other three cars were thrown off the track by the passenger and baggage car and dragged along the track for several yards.
 Engineer James Little, who has grown gray in the service of the St. Paul road, was the man who handled the lever of the Watertown local en- zine. Mir. Little tells his story of the wreck as follows:
 We had seven minutes to make the run from Merriam Park to the depot, a distance of about two and one-half miles, aud you can see that we were travelling pretty fast. As neared the switch at Nineteenth street I saw the target and knew at once that the switch was misplaced. The target on this switch is flat on the ground and can not be seen from a great distance. Quick as thought, I had reversed my engine, another second and the crash came"
 Neither the engineer nor the fireman left his post, and both escaped without scratch. The only damage that re- suited to their engine was a broken cylinder head. The engine jumped clear of the track and settled in the roadbed almost as level as if it had re- mained on the track.
 Strangely enough none of the cars were badly wrecked. Very little ex- pense will be necessary to put them in complete repair.
 Barthels gave himself up at the Cen tral Police station at o'clock. He was accompanied to the station by his wife and his father.

The Rerinx Sea Decision.

LONDON, March 3.-The Standard says the decision in the Sayward case leaves the diplomatic situation pre- cisely where it was before. There is no reason to assume that the court has considered the international equities. Failure to procure judicial pronounce ment on the validity of the pretensions set up by the Washington authorities will rather facilitate than prejudice a full and amicable settlement by the ar bitrators.

RIVERS AND HARBORs.
Appropriations wnl Nearly Reach
 02O 900, 900,


 WASHINGTON. March 3.-Chairman Blanchard. of the River and Harbor committee. has hopes of keeping the bill under SEQ, O00, 900. When he started out SIS, 1000, 900 was the total which it was decided should not be exceeded. But when the appropriations came to be put in for the Southern creeks and bayous it was found that this policy could not be kept up without allowing something for the water ways of the Northwest. The com mittee now finds that it will be almost impossible to keep the total of the bill below s2O, 900, GOO. This is all against the Holman policy. But the sentiment is so strong that the Democratic lead CTS in the house are not ready to oppose it. Holman would be willing for a river harbor appropriation of not more then ss,OOO, ,0O0. The committee, how ever. will not hear of this. The bill will probably be reported to the House early in April, and will pass some time in May or June. Now that Congress has practically decided not to make any appropriations this year for public buildings, members of both Houses have turned their attention to the i'm provements proposed for navigable and unnavigable waterways in their re. spective districts.

Ru.k as a Presidential Candidate.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-It is said a movement has been quietly on foot for some days here and in New York in favor of Rusk as Presidential candi- date. It IS argued that Rusk, being part of this administration, would, if nominated, command all the stength Harrison could get, and, in addition, would appeal strongly to the farmers vote, which is endangered by the alliance in certain Western States, where Rusk would be particularly strong. By some this movement is be- lieved to be genuine, while others think it is simply an attempt to direct the Harrison strength and part of a scheme to bring in as many favorite sons as possible, with the hope of unit ing all the scattering votes for Blaine in the final round and forcing the nom- ination upon him. It is not believed that he has any part in this movement or would be shaken in his loyalty to Harrison by proposition of this kind.

Judge Aliens Interstate Decision Causes
 a Sensation.
 CHICAGO, March 3.-The decision of Judge Allen in the United States court at Springfield. H., regarding the right of railroads to cut rates from points in Canada, or, in other words, that Con- Press has no right to regulate traffic to foreign countries, has stirred up rail- road officials in this city. Some say the decision knocks the bottom out of the Interstate law and express gratifica- tion that such decision has been rem dered, while others are of the opin- ion that it will have most disastrous effect on American railways which h ve no Canadian connections.
 WASHINGTON, March 2.-"Ever since the commission was organized" said Interstate Commerce Commissioner Veazey, i've have had more or less trouble with Canadian railways re- garding the commerce which they car ried, and we pointed out to Congress remedy two years ago. It was neces- sary to make certain amend ments to the bill now in force, and among them was the substitution of the word into for to foreign countries While this could not regulate the affairs of the Canadisn Pacific. because it is not in our juris- diction, yet it indirectly provided remedy for existing evils. If Congress could not regulate transportation rates between the United States and Canada it could say whether commerce should be restricted or not; and in this man. ner do away with further annoyance"

 The Hon. J. A. Harvey in his open ing address urged that the result of the last election is not to be taken as indi- eating a reyulsion of sentiment against the present law.

 The Catholic church and the charge that it maintains lobby at Washing ton to manipulate appropriations in behalf of Indian sectarian schools were the subject of three hours acrimonious discussion in the House yesterday.

Pratt of the United States army, superintendent of that school. in speaking of the attacks made in the House against the appropriation for the Indian school had said: They were made through the Catholic church, in paying Congressman te at tack the national schools, because they are detrimental to their parochial schools, which are given three times the amount by the government that other denominations receive"
