ST, LOUIS, Jan. ia little before s
o'clock this evening party of twenty five

Eight of them now lie in the morgue while
nearly all the others are in the hospital.
The party was made up of mem ers of the
Clover Leaf club, social organization of
White Walters. They were all in one
conveyance, q large four horse sleigh.
They went to a road house near
Forest park, and after luncheon, started
to return home. About 1920 at the Sarah
street crossing OF the Wabash railroad the
accident occurred. A special train coming
IL from Ferguson, running at high rate of
speed, struck the sleigh, killing two of the
horses and throwing the people in every
direction. So great was the shock
two of the injured afterward were found on
top of the cab. The train was stopped within
three hundred yards of the crossing and
returned to the scene where the excursion
lists aided in gathering up the cad and
wounded. By this time the mounted police
were on hand and taking charge they
ordered the dead and wounded placed on
the train. This was done and all were
taken to the Union depot whence the
wounded were taken to St. Mary's in
Urinary and the dead to the morgue. The
dead humber eight, only five Of whom have

Held CrIminaIly Responsible.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.-Warren Springer, one
of the wealthiest manufacturers in Chica-
go, was held criminally responsible to-
night by the coroner's jury for the death
of five of his workmen in boilere explosion
ten days ago. A warrant for his arrest
was at once issued, the charge being gross
carelessness and negligence Similar &C
ton was taken in regard to his superinten-
dent, Edward Gallup, Engineer Charles
Schroeder and Fireman w. H. Cartwright
and Martin Lying.
The jury was in session seven days. 1t
was shown the city boiler inspector had
condemned the boilers and withheld the
certificate pending certain repairs, which
were never made. The fuel used in the
establishment was manure, netting Spun
ger a saving of $500 year.
The investigation will undoubtedly re-
suit in giving the city inspector power to
enforce orders by shutting down boilers at
discretion. The investigation also de-
veloped the fact that Springer is remark
ably close in matters requiring expendi-
ture, either personal or business.

To Dance in Idahn.s Canitol.

BOISE CRY, Ida, Jan. 19.-[Special tele-
gram to The HERALD. lit has just leaked
out that the state authorities have granted
permission to certain young ladies of Boise.
who claim to rank among 1.-The four hun
dred," to hold leap year party and ball in
the capitol building. The young ladies
won over Governor Wiley, who is con-
sldered only too susceptible to the charms
of the fair sex, and also State Secretary
Pinkham. The Democrats are jubilant at
this valuable addition to campaign material.
The people Of the state seriously object to
turning their state building into dance
hall to accommodate the blooming damsels
of Boise. If it is open only to what is called
the first circles OF society the lower circles
may make vigorous kick The only clear
thing to do now is to open the building at
the pleasure of the dear people to dance
therein to their hearts, content.

The House Rules About Completed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-It is known there
will be only few changes in the rules of
the Fifty Congress. The modified
Holman rule of the Forty eighth Congress,
under which legislation was permitted on
appropriation bills when germane and in the
line of retrenchment in expenditures. will
be re-adopted. A rule will also be added
limiting to one hour the call of states on
Mondays for the introduction of bills. the
object being TO prevent fillibustering on
suspension days by wasting time in the
introduction and reading of long bills. 1t
is also likely, although this is not yet abso-
lutely decided upon, that a rule will be
framed to prevent prolonged filibustering
by enabling the House to take up any meas
ures 1t desires to close debate. This rule will
probably give the rules committee author
lty to bring In special order fixing the time
at which debate On any specific measure
shall cease, approval of the order by the
House, of course, being necessary.

THE CABINET MEETS
Gillian Matters Discussed During
the Session.
NO DIFFERENTIATION REACHED
War Not Observation-Disclosures Senators Much
Opposed to 1.-THE Yorktown sails for
CallaO With the balmacedists.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The cabinet
meeting to-day was devoted almost entirely
to consideration of the Gillian question.
The proceedings were only temporarily in
terrupted by the slight Illness of Secretary
Blaine. There is reason to believe the gov
eminent has received dispatches from the
Cnlllan minister, looking to a peaceful and
satisfactory solution of the the questions
II dispute. and they were submitted to the
CABINET to-day. This may possibly d o away
with the necessity of referring the ques-
ton to Congress-
The session continued until 2 O'Clock
The only information in regard to the pro
ceedlngs was no conclusion was reached in
the Gillian matter
Secretary Tracy to-day said there was
no truth in the report that Admirals
Gherardl and Walker had been ordered to
Chilli
The Post will say tomorrow it learned
on good authority the state department re
ceived information from the GILLIAN
government that that country is
ready and willing to make re-
paration for all losses of life, limb and
honor suffered by Americans, but
the dispatch or letter was couched
IN such terms as to be unsatis-
factory. Also that at dinner
given by Bourke Cochran to Senator Hill
at which about dozen leading Democratic
Congressman were present, nearly all the
conversation turned upon the prospect OF
war. AT times it developed into stirring
debates, southern members declaring them
selves for war and said should 1t take place
the south would uphold the presidents hand
to the fullest extent and from no other
section would the government receive such
support as from south of Mason & Dixon s
line Congressman Coombs, of Brooklyn,
said this country should make no attempt
to crush the little republic now in state
OF anarchy. The differences of opinion,
considering the localities from which the
debating comes, are very interesting, bu,
the majority OF the gathering were de-
cidedly for war.

Boise Indignant at Nugent,s Decision.

BOISE CRY, Jan. 19.-TSpecial telegram
to The HERALD. The recent ruling of
Judge Nugent, of the district court, to the
effect that houses of prostitution could not
be abated as nuisances, created no small
amount of adverse criticism here. The
weight of authority seems to be that thew
can be so abated, but Judge Nugent seized
upon an obsolete ruling OF some obscure
New ork court as pretext for deciding
in favor of the sporting fraternity as
against the decent classes in this city. The
case will be appealed. There is much in
