Train No. 4 on the Wisconsin Central
road was wrecked here this morning, and
the cars. taking fire, a terrible loss Of life
followed. Four persons are dead. four
others are missing. supposed to have been
burned to death, and from fifteen to twenty
injured, some Of them fatally. Among the
dead are the engineer, fireman. brakeman
and a man named Tweedy. All are being
cared for at Marshfield.

What the Railway officials Say.
comb 1t was stated that the accident hap
rened at LIS a. M, and that the wrecked
train was the south-bound limited from
Minneapolis to Chicago. 1t was a fairly
heavy train. and was running at the usual
rate of speed when it struck the open
switch and went off on a straight piece of
level track. The baggage and mail cars
the smoker and second day coach, and two
of the three sleepers left the track, and
nearly all the cars, except one of the two
sleepers, were either burned or badly
wrecked.
The names of the trainmen known to have
been killed are: James Hubbard engineer
OF Stevens Point George Gearhart, fire.
man. of Stevens Point; Judson Bigelow,
brakeman, of Stevens Point; - Russell, a
civil engineer in the employ Of the COM
pany.
Three or four members of the train crew
are reported missing and ii Is thought that
they are beneath the wreck. Several pas
sengers are not yet accounted for, and may
also be dead.
None of the passengers in the sleepers
We're injured, but twelve or fifteen in the
smoking car and day coach were injured.
All the injured were taken to Marshfield,
where they are receiving every possible at
tention. The bodies of the trainmen were
taken to Stevens Point.
The man referred to as '"Tweedy" cannot
be identified. 1t Is thought he was a con-
tractor.
The opinion strongly prevails In official
circles of the Central that the wreck was
result OF criminal tampering with the
switch.

WILL GET OIL FROM RUSSIA.
Rehult of a Conference Between
Great Producers Mt Chicago.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, May 30.-In connection
with the current stories outlining the plans
or Russian and American capitalists to es-
tablish a line of steamships to be operated
on the Pacific ocean, In connection with the
great Russian railroad soon to be completed
In Viadivostock, ii is now stoutly asserted
here that the principal port for the steam
ship company will be San Diego 1t has
heretofore been Gained that capitalists
largely in the Santa Fe railroad are closely
identified with the Russians in this scheme.
Gen. Thomas Seigwick. San Diego's har-
Dor engineer, gave further information OF
the scheme today. He states that since in
August last. he has been furnishing the in
terested persons with technical particula rs
concerning San Diego harbor. He had been
required, however. to keep the matter a
secret.
Now that he is free to talk. he gave the
substance of a letter. recently received by
him from friend connected with the land
department of the Santa Fe road. His
friend informed him that representatives of
the Santa Fe Company the Standard OIL
Company and the Russian Oil Company had
just held a conference in Chicago with Ivan
Gavetsky, representing the Amoo- Naviga-
ton OF NladivoStock. for the purpose of
organizing a steamship line between that
Russian port and San Diego.
1t is well-known fact that the Standard
OH Company not great while ago formed
combination with the Russian Oil Com
pany for the purpose of controlling the
worlds supply of petroleum. 1t is claimed
here that 1t is the plan OF the two great
companies to have the western part of the
United States supplied from the Russian
wells, an undertaking that would in reality
be more economical than the present meth
cd of transporting oil across the continent
from PENNSYLVANIA and Ohio.
The Amoor Navigation Company is owned
by Sibieriakow, who is also the principal
owner of the Siberian Transcontinentai rail-
road, which at present handles the greater
part of the oil output of that country as
well as other commerce with the Siberian
ports.
The determination of the oil combine to
establish line to America has evidently
caused the Santa Fe stockholders to take
advantage of the situation of affairs and
endeavor to secure the tremendous traffic
which would naturally follow the establish
ment of such a line of steamships

GOVERNORS FOR ARBITERs.
A Proposition to which the Striking
Miners VIII Agree.

PITTSBURG. Pa, May 30-.A number of
ccal consumers and mine operators Of the
region surrounding Pittsburg are making
an effort to have the governors of the coal
producing states act as body. of arbitra-
ton between the operators and miners.
This course was decided on after a private
conference in this city, and kilograms were
sent to the governors of Pennsylvania Ohio,
Indiana, West Virginia Illinois and Iowa
asking them to form a board whose duties
shall be a peaceable and equitable solu-
tion of the coal mining strikes.
Favorable responses were received from
Gov. Pattison of Pennsylvania, Mckinley
of Ohio, Matthews of Indiana and jackson
of Iowa. All expressed their willingness to
serve on such board, If requested Gov.
McCorkle of West Virginia was absent
Gov. Altgeld of Illinois replied that he
feared little could be accomplished, as the
board could not compel submission on the
part Of the operators who precipitated the
strike
For the min ers, Patrick McBryde said he
believed the men were willing to have
theis case adjudicated by the gentlemen
named.

G L o U DS AND AIN

Is associated with sunny skies and the
balmy air of a bright spring day, and these
conditions are all the more delightful be-
cause the exercises are held in the open
air. However. in addition TO the pleasure in
taking part in the beautiful celebration OF
the day, there is a patriotic duty which is
the survivors of the late war, but by thou
sands of the newer generation who desire
to show their appreciation OF martial vaior
and their sense Of obligation to the men
who laid down their lives on the altar OF
their country's preservation. So II happens
that whether IL rains or shines, whether
nature is robed in her garb of gladness or
presents a cold and chilling aspect Decora-
ton day is celebrated. Flowers are laid
upon the graves of the patriotic dead. words
are spoken of gratitude and of love and Of
appreciation, and the memories of those
who passed away in the great civil conflict
are revived and cherished.
The celebration today in all its details
was elaborate and complete. Services were
held in all the cemeteries where the Union
dead in any numbers rest. The green
mounds were strewn with flowers which the
committee on decoration had had placed at

wAsHINGToN's TOMB.
Floral Tributes Carried to Mt. Vernon
by Loving Hands,

Memorial day was celebrated at Mount
Vernon with an unusual tribute of flowers.
The decorations were. perhaps. more elab-
crate than on any other Memorial day
within the history of the hallowed ground,
Superintendent Dodge and his corps of as
sistants did noble decorative work. The en-
trance to the tomb was embowered in potted
plants and graceful ferns. while rare blos-
SONS almost hid the sarcophagus. wreaths
of bright green. lighted with sweet flowers
had prominent places in the display and
even the gate and fence were hung with
wreaths, festoons and flowers. The ma.
tional colors were conspicuous. and aided
in the patriotic picture.
President Cleveland sent a mass of
choice roses, and these were placed inside
the gate of the tomb. Mrs. Washington Of
West Virginia, descendant of the father
of his country, sent some beautiful flowers
and Col. John NJ. Wilson, commissioner of
public buildings and grounds, sent down a
lavish supply of memorial bloom. Inside
the tomb the damp moldy odor gave way to
the fragrant scents of spring. and bright
ness OF the place today was in strong con-
trast to the gloom that commonly per-
vadeS ii.
The sarcophagus was inhumed in flowers
They rested upon Ii, and many of the offer
ings sent from distant parts were arranged
around its base
The grave Of Mrs. Washington showed.
also. that republics are not ungrateful.
Clusters and designs of La France and
bride roses weighted the air with perfume.
Mary Washington roses bloomed in great
luxuriancc. and at the tomb was a pillow
of American beauties Those who visited
Mount Vernon say that the decorations
surpass anything of the kind attempted
there in prior years.

EVERYTHING CLOSED
The Capitol Given Over to the Watohmen
Today.
A Number OF Conferences Were Held
Away From That Building Prepara-
tory to the Sugar Fight.

Everything was closed and silent at the
Capitol today. Even the doors leading to
the halls Of legislation were locked and the
half dozen or SO visitors who got in the
building were confined to the corridors in
their perambulations. During the day there
were about two Representatives and four
Senators in the building. None of the COM
mittees held meetings, and there was abso-
lutely no business. either formal or in
formal. and no discussions in progress. The
building was practically given up to the
watchmen. In the morning the officials Of
the Capitol received word that Fitzgerald
the anarchist, proposed TO deliver a speech
from the Capitol steps. Preparation was
made to prevent his doing so, and on his
being Informed that he would get in trouble
If he made the attempt. he concluded that
discretion was the better part of valor, and
kept away. While the statesmen were alb
sent from their usual haunts it does not
follow that nothing of importance was be-
ing considered by them, or that the day
passed entirely without Incident.
The Struggle Tomorrow.
Tomorrow the greatest struggle over the
tariff bill is expected, and considerable
thought and discussion is being given to
the matter. and a number of small con-
ferences are being held away from the Capt.
stood. the sugar schedule which is expected
to come up for consideration in the Senate
tomorrow, is the vital spot in the bill.
With thorough conviction that free
sugar would kill the bill, the republicans
have been doing all in their power TO con-
centrate their force SO as to secure defeat
to the Senate compromise amendment Civ
ing protection to the trust and the sugar
growers. Yesterday, after a number of
conferences, they were still divided on the
question, but some hope was entertained
that merely as a strategic move the whole
party might be got to vote for free sugar
They counted then that If they could get
the votes of Hill and Kyle, Irby and Mills.
they would be able to defeat the committee
and 50 endanger the bill.
Cannot BE Depended On.
Further conferences last night and today
have developed the fact, as the managers
believe. that it will be impossible to induce
all the republicans to vote for free sugar,
and also that the Senators on the democrat
ic side whose votes they had expected
cannot be depended upon to assist the OBJ
Ject of the vote being known. 1t Is there
fore practically foregone conclusion that
when the vote comes on sugar the commit
tee will be sustained. and the last hope the
republicans have Of killing the bill will
have passed.
