WASHINGTON, Dec. %. - Secretary
Gresham's communication to congress
relative to paying s425 900 for Boring sea
seizures purposes is occasioning much
discussion among those who have been
giving attention to the subject.
Representative Hit OF Illinois, who
introduced the resolution calling for the
information, is not yet satisfied that the
United Stsyss should pay the lump sum
oil s425. 900 for the seizures, ss he Gays
the positive evidence already sdduced
shows tho same 10 be excessively large.
Hit points out that the amount foots up
to $439, 600, which is little more than
the amount OF the proposed comp %
mise. OF this s425.0 Hit says $751;
0U0 is for 'probable earnings" "esti.
mated oatch," etc. That 10. the shipe
claim large damages for what they
might have earned, had they not been
seized, go that their claim is for pros
pective or remote damages and only q
portion for damages actually suotained.
Representative Hit says this theory of
prospective damages was expressly re.
puiisted before the famous awards COM
mission. 1t was then held that
the United States could not re-
cover for what number of
American ships might have done since
they have been seized. The congress
man says this precedent and others sst-
ties the principals of international law,
and that the remote damages cannot be
collected.

claiming d3nages 1U were American
ships. Some OF these were flying the
British flag merely for the sake of avoid

INTO A RUNAWAY CAR.
TERRIBLE COLLISION ON THE
LONDON AND NORTHWESTERN.
Thirteen People Instanf1y Killed and
Many Others Manned
for Life.

LONDON, Dec. 23.-ThelMancheste ex-
railway, which was wrecked at Cheliord
last night, consisted of two engines and
16 coaches. filled chiefly with people
bound from Manchester for London to
spend the holidays.
A number OF freight cars were being
shifted near Ohelford. when the wind,
which was blowing with great violence.
started one of them back on the rails.
The runaway car was driven slantwise
across the main line just ss the ex-
press approached. The engineer OF the
express, which was running at the rate
of 40 miles an hour, saw dimly ahead
the huge obstruction approaching and
the brakes were applied and the engines
reversed, but the momentum of the
heavy train was 30 great that its speed
was not quickly checked. The engines
and three coaches got clear off the
points before the car struck the express.
The coaches which were hit by the
wagon were completely smashed by
those following, were dersiled and par
TALLY shattered.
All the lights were extinguished and
this added to the fears of the passen-
gers. The scene was horrible, the un-
injured passengers screaming. the
wounded grosning, the guards ana por-
ters hoarsely shouting for assistance.
Men with lanterns were sent to etop
another train, which was approaching
the scene OF the wreck. Fires were
lighted alongside the line to enable the
rescuers to pursue their work. Those
passengers who had not been hurt
scrambled out of the cars and formed
relief party.
Thirteen bodies were taken from the
wreck. Some OF them were badly mutt.
lated. A number Of people on the train
had narrow escapes. All the officials,
except the fireman of the first engine,
escaped death, but most of them were
INJURED. The second engine was de-
rallied and.overturned. It's engineers were
only slightly hurt. Medical and other
aid soon arrived from Crewes and the in.
jured, who numbered over forty, were at
tended to. Several of those injured will
die. One carriage that was derailed by
the force OF ths collision struch and COM
pletely demolished q signal box beside
the line. A special train brought them
to London.

Of Ale seal catchers and others looking

The report embodying their recon-
