The Letter.
TAMPA BAY HOTEL, |
Tampa, Fla, Feb. 5. 1894 !

TAMPA BAY HOTEL,
Tampa. Fla, Feb. 5, 1894
EDITOR THE CITIZEN :-ln answer to
your letter Of the 1st have this to say:
You know that in all transactions con-
nected with the executive sessions OF the
Senate, including what is said and done
in committee, my mouth is closed. l am
at liberty, therefore, only to speak to
you about my own attitude toward MIR.
Simmons, what has not been done, etc.,
but not as to what has been done or
probably will be done.
want to say, first, that for myself
and on my own authority have filed no
charges against Summons. Aside from
those which may have been filed by 9TH
ers, my attitude toward him Is one OF
opposition; for the reason that, as chair
man of the Democratic committee OF
North Carolina, he came to Washington
and interlered in opposition to my rec
ommendation tor app intmepts under
the government. Knowing that Mr.
Ransom aud had agreed that prma-
rily | should recommend all appoint
ments in the West, whilst Gen. Ransom
did the same in the East; and knowing
that had recommended Mr.. Gudger tor
collector in my own district, and that
Gen. Ransom opposed Mr.. Gudger or
personal grounds and favored MIR. Elias
he perverted and misused the power in
trusted to him by the Democracy o
North Carolina by urging and securing
the appointment of MIR. Elias over Gud
ger. He also opposed my recomm nda
ton of Mr.. Hale for a foreign appoint
ment, which was virtually secured ant
was higher in grade than any given tn
State.
Now, if he thought proper to volul
teer his interference where he had n
right or authority to do so, he shoul
not object to theexercise of an undoubte
right, BY a Senator in the selection
appointments, bestowed upon him b
the Constitution,
TO save trouble to .hc anonymou
scr;bblcrs who are constantly slanderln
me in this regard and who report hi
as speaking of himself as "Simmons an
the Democratic party" announce, ont
for all, that resent not only Simmon
interference with my rights as Sem
tor, but the insulting and defiant toi
assumed both by him and them. sha
oppose Mr.. Simmons confirmation {
personal as we'll as public ground
grounds connected with his unhtness
hold the position for which he has be
appointed.
My health is improving rapidly in Il
fine climate, and hope soon to be in II
seat IN the Senate. Very truly yours,
I. g. Vance

WILL CHANGE WILSON BILL
The senate sub. Committee And
The Free List.

The Free List.
WAsuI.GToN, Feb. S.-One point
already appears very clearly as the result
of the Senate finance subcommittee
labors up to this point and that is that
the tariff bill. which they will present to
their Democratic associates on the
finance committee for approval, will bear
a very slight resemblance to the original
Wilson bill. The reason for the exten
siyc changes in contemplation andalready
made is to be found in the decision OF the
three sub.committeemen to bc governed
by the plan Of the old Walker tariff act
and so place the duties as to secure the
largest amount of revenue. which in
wolves reductions in some cases, in
creases perhaps in Others and verv
restricted free list, if indeed anv articles
entering largely into consumption are
permitted to enter duty free.
The Republican members of the com.
mittee are devoting themselves to a
method by which the attitude OF the
Democratic majority against further
bearings upon the bill by interested par
ties may be reversed. They are planning
to have the bill rccommitted to the com
mittce when it reaches the Senate, will
instructions to the committee to gran
such hearings. This they hope to accom-
plish through the aim OF Democratic

Train Ferries in Europe.

From the Engineering Mechanic.
English engineers, finding it
necessary to adopt our system of
train ferries, and not wishing to
give us credit of inaugurating that
system, have managed to discover
Sir John somebody who worked
the whole thing up fifteen years
ago. A New York paper says:
"There seems to be nothing in the
way OF running unbroken trains
between London and Paris, except
the necessary capital and the en-
ployment Of sufficient technical
skill. II the London, Chatham
and Dover would combine with
the Northern, of France, and en-
ploy an experienced American en-
gineer to plan and construct the
docks and appliances for embark
ing and landing the trains, and at
the same time send to any of the
shipbuilding establishments on our
great lakes for man to construct
the ferry boats, the arrangement
could be perfected in a year and
half or two years, when freight and
passengers could be transported
from any part Of Great Britain to
the Continent, and eventually to
all of Asia and Africa, without
change of cars or break Of bulk"
The system OF train ferries will
no doubt be established through
out Europe in a few years, and will
do much to expedite and cheaper
transit.

RAILROAD HORROR.
Seven Coaches and Sleeper IN a
Pile-Dead and Wounded.

NIDwAUKEE, Wis, May 30.-A
special to the Evening Wisconsin
from Marshfield, Wis.,, says: "The
St. Paul limited south bound train,
on the Wisconsin Cen trail railroad,
which passed here at 1:03 a. M,
met with a horrible accident which
has never been equalled in North
ern Wiscon sin and adds another
long list of victims through a dis
aster of this kind. The train was
in charge of Conductor Gaven, and
consisted of seven coaches and
sleeper, and left Abbottsford be-
hind time, running fifty miles an
hour. 1t soon struck a
defective split in switch,
at Minnville, a deserted station,
derailing the entire train, and
piling the engine and cars in a
heap of broken debris. To add to
the horror, the whole mass was
soon in a sheet of flames, which,
mingled with the groans and cries
of the injured, made it scene that
turned the hearts Of the bravest.
The victims are: Dead-James
Hubbard, engineer, of Stevens
Point; George Gebhardt, fireman,
of Stevens Point; John Bigelow,
head brakeman, of Stevens Point !;
and an aged man and woman,
whose names are unknown.
It is said they were not on the
train at st. Paul. The injured are !:
Henry Chester, Manifold, leg and
spine badly injured; o. w. Boze-
ley, news agent, Stevens Point, in
jured internally; Arthur Turnice,
Chicago, head cut and otherwise
injured, will recover; DR.. Weitzel,
Glidden, hurt internally; Fannie
Burtle, Springdale, ILL.,, hand badly
cut; William Ryan, STURGEON Bay,
ribs broken and head cut; G. A.
Twitchell, attorney-at-law, Min
neapOlis, head cut. The No. 3
north bound passenger passes NOD
at this place, and as soon as word
was received of the accident No.2.
went to the rescne with number
of physicians and nurses from here.
The dead and wounded we're
brought back, and the depot was
turned into a hospital, when every
thing was done to make the I'M
fortunates comfortable.

THE STRIKERS
Want the Governors to Arbitrate
for Them.

LOi AASns
PrTTsBURG, Pa, May 30.-A
number of consumers and operators
Of this region are making an effort
to have the governors of the coal
producing states to act as a board
ofarbitration between the operators
and miners. This course was de-
cided on after the private
conference in the city, and tele-
grams were sent to the Governors
OF Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Vir-
ginia, Illinois, Indiana and Iowa,
asking them to form a board,
whose duties shall be peaceable
and equitable solution of the coal
mining strikes. Favorable re-
sponses were received from Patti
son, of Pennsylvania, Mckinley, of
Ohio, Matthews, of Indiana, and
Jackson, Of Iowa. All expressed
their willingness to serve on such
board if requested. Gov. Nc
Corckle, Of West Virginia, was alb
sent, and Gov. Altgeld, of Illinois,
replied that he was afraid
little could be accomplished as the
board could not compel
submission on the part of the opera
tors, who participated in the strike.
For the M Rers, Patrick McBryde
said he believed the men were will
ing to have their case adjudicated
