Keinach's Famous Checks Still the
Topic of the Day in Paris-The Famine
in Russia.
LONDON, December 5.-Very simple
and very thrilling is the narrative given
by Gen. o. o. Howard of the acci-
dent to the steamer Spree. The
weather had been rough for some time
when the accident happened" said the
one-armed soldier. ssThe alarm was not
very great at first among the first cabin
passengers. 1t was terrible experience
for the second cabin and steerage pas
sengers, who were asleep in the compart-
ment next to the last, into which the
water first rushed. They barely reached
deck ahead of the inrushing flood, and
they saved nothing but the clothes they
wore. 1t became evident that the shaft
tunnel had been burst in several
places, and pumping was quite useless.
The two rear compartments were en-
tirelv abandoned to the water. and, it
made rapid inroads into the third. But
YOU are familiar with the technical story
Of the accident, and will not repeat 1t.
The passengers think behaved splen-
didly, and instead of selfshness and com
planning there were most touching. de-
monstrations of sympathy and desire to
help others throughout the ship. Yes,
the minds of three or four gave way un-
der the strain, but there was no great ex-
citement at any time. Some rat er fool
ish things were done, but they did not
seem amusing at the time.
'sThe ladies we're wonderfully self
possessed and considerate throughout
the crisis. either [ nor my daughter
in-law, who is travelling with me, felt
any real alarm. / had throughout q
strong, perhaps unreasonable, intuition
that we should all escape. We tried to
| impart the same confidence to others 1t
was an experience that brought out as
nothing else could do, the common
| brotherhood of man. There were some
close condolences exchanged among us
those two anxious days.

Gen. George l.. Becker, as chairman
of the railroad and warehouse commits
sion. has received a letter from E. NJ.
Pope, chairman of the Blue Earth
County Alliance, in which the state
ment is made that the Chicago & n ORTIZ
western. the Chicago, st. Paul. Mime
apOllS Il Omaha. and the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul Railway companies
have agreed upon a freight tariff sched-
ule which will be satisfactory to the
Alliance and which, if carried out, will
relieve the commission Of further prose-
cutting the complaints recently lodged
by the latter against these roads. In
regard to the complaints against the st.
Paul II Duluth, Gen. Pope thinks the
matter can eventually be adjusted
without the aid of the COM
mission, although the latter company
has not, as yet, made any specific offers
of compromise. 1t is expressly noted
i'll the letter that the Alliance does not
wish to be construed as withdrawing it's
complaints, but wants to give the CON-
panies involved an opportunity to put
matters right. The Minneapolis & ST.
Louis, it is expected, will also establish
equitable rates, and the request Is made
that when the commission meets in
MankatO this week, if the companies
have not yet completed their rate sheets,
an adjournment be taken long enough
to allow them to do so.
The commission will honor the re-
quests of the Alliance, and the matter
will, i'll all probability, be amlcably adj
juSted.

DELEGATES GALORE.
No Lack of Timber to Represent
the City in Washington.


the City in Washington.
The committee on promotion is fast
concluding its 4abors. A short session
was held yesterday, at which the COM
mittee on transportation submitted a
report. 1t was still agreed that the
Washington delegation shall go via the
Kansas City route to Chicago. despite
Gar Finley, even though they do not
get excursion rates. The Kansas City
is st. Paul road, and this committee
is composed of loyal and patriotic citi-
zenS. The railroad fare will be paid by
the citizens committee. and this is a
deal more liberal than the Minneapolis
citizens committee was. for when they
went i'll quest of the Republican con-
vention each delegate paid all his per-
sonal expenses, including railroad fare.
Under this arrangement there can be
no doubt of powerful representation in
Washington on the 2lst The great
trouble threatens to be that too many
will volunteer that is, too many to be
we'll accommodated, for only one spe-
cial car has been secured.
