Scores Of Injured From
the Wreck.

CITY OF MEXICO, Via Galveston,
March lit is now known that 200
people were killed and injured in the
terrible wreck on the Inter-Oceanic
railroad yesterday afternoon. 1t is
impossible to say as yet how many
of this number are dead, as the
wreck has not yet all been cleared
away and reports are very con-
ficting. 1t is feared, however, that
over 100 are dead. The train was
an excursion, carrying nearly 1900
passengers returning from the pill
grimage annually made to the Sacre
Monteshrine. Near Pedra Blanca
there is a sharp curve, and at this
point, for some reason not yet def
nitely learned, five coaches jumped
the track and went down the side
of the mountain. Three of them were
smashed completely into kindling
wood.
AS soon as word was received in
this city relief train was sent out
with surgeons and a wrecking force,
and the work of rescuing the wound
crossed since. AS fast as possible
the wounded were brought to this
city. President DiaZ having ordered
the military hospital with it's staff
to care for survivors,

of them were in
FRAGMENTS AND LIMBS,
heads and bodies were mixed up in
such manner as to make identification
almost impossible.
The scene about the wreck was most
sickening, as we'll as sorrowful. Rela-
tives were searching for missing mem
bers of their families, and women and
children who had lost husbands and
fathers were crying and moaning in a
heart-rending manner.
| Further details from the scene of the
wreck are expected later this evening,
but the Geographic service is unsatis
factory.
This is the most Serious wreck in
Mexico since 1881, when a train load of
soldiers went through bridge, 400 men
being killed.
The most careful inquiries in this city
and of the railroad people indicate that
there were no Americans on the train,
the passengers, so far as can be learned,
all being natives.
The train crew are Americans, and,
in accordance with the Mexican GUS
tom, such of them as were not killed
will be arrested at once, the Mexican
laws concerning the responsibility of
trainmen for such affairs being very
stringent.

THREE CARS WENT DOWN.
Engineer Blamed for the Disaster
Fuller Details

CITY OF MEXICO, March lone of
the most frightful accidents in the his
tory of the Mexican railroads, result
ing in the killing of 104 persons and the
serious, if not fatal, injury of nearly a
hundred others, occurred yesterday
afternoon on the Interoceanic railroad
at point about twenty-five miles from
this city. A few days ago a great num-
Der of persons left the capital and the
towns in the vicinity to go on a pill
grimage to the Catholic shrine at
Sacremonte. Tickets were sold at re-
duced rates over the Interoceanic line.
and this road carried the bulk of the
pilgrims. Yesterday a long train,
aboard of which there were 200 per-
sons, was returning from the place OF
pilgrimage. All went well until a
point on the line about midway be-
tween Temantla and Tenango was
reached. On this part of the road there
is steep incline, the line at one place
having a sharp curve, where it runs
close to the edge of a high precipice.
This is one of the most dangerous
places on the road, and was rendered
more SO by the fact that the track
here was not in the best of condition.
AS lIlS Il all DeSdu 10 run down the
incline many of the passengers were
laughing and joking, while others We're
looking out of the windows at the
rapidly passing scenery, which is very
grand. Soon the speed of the train be
gan TO Increase, and it was running at
a frightful rate. The passengers
ceased their laughter and joking and
looked at each other with a strange
TO-
the momentum of the train, which was
now swaying and bounding fearfully,
increased, and soon the dangerous
high curve was struck. AS the pilot
wheels of the engine took the curve
the locomotive swayed outward and
then back. AS the drivers went on
the curve the engine again swayed
heavily, and then either jumped the
track or turned a rail. 1t dashed
across the scanty space between tho
rails and the edge of the chasm and
THEN PLUNGED DOWNWARD.
One after another of the coaches, filled
with passengers dashed after it and
piled up in a mass of wreckage at the
side of the track, but the fourth and
fifth most fortunately did not go over
the edge Of the precipice. AS the fifth
coach left the metals, it twisted and
broke the coupling connecting it with
the coaches behind it. These coaches
kept the rails and passed safely around
the curve. After running a consider
able distance they were stopped by the
hand brakes.
When the engine and the three
coaches fell to the bottom of the ravine
there was fearful crash and mingled
with it were the shrieks of the fright
ened passengers which could be easily
heard above the shriel5ing of the es-
Gaping steam of the engine which was
knocked to pieces by the fall.
The passengers in the derailed coach
es at-the edge of the precipice got out

DONE AT MADISON.
Progress Made on the Dairy Bill
Seed Grain Bill Passed.


MADISON, Wis, March 1.-The dali
rymen's bill was the special order in
the assembly today, and it was the sub
ject of another long debate. The fight
was first on the amendment proposed
by Mr.. Blake to make the law go into
effect sixty days after it's passage,
in order to give the filled-cheeSe peo-
pie an opportunity to dispose of the
stock they had on hand. When the
bill itself was taken up for a vote,
Mr.. Christian called for the ayes and
nays. The bill was ordered to a third
reading by a vote of 81 to 4. Those
who voted NO were Messrs. BeSse,
Cousins, Kimball and Yawkey. Mr..
Halls resolution for the appointment
of committee to investigate the earn
ings of the Chicago & Northwestern
and the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad companies, was made the Spe-
cial order for Tuesday next. The COM
mittee on claims reported unanimously
in favor of the bill to establish a home
for the feeble-minded. 1t approprates
100000 for the purpose. A bill ap-
propriating $4,000 to buy seed grain
for fire sufferers was passed. The
medical bill was reported for indefinite
postponement.
In the senate Mr.. Putnam offered
an amendment to the clerk and salary
investigation bill, extending the scope
of the investigation to include both
branches of the legislature and all of
the state institutions under the super
vision of the state board of control,
and the business methods employed at
them, the committee to consist of two
senator's and three assemblymen, and
to meet in Madison after this session,
and report at the next session of the
legislature. The substitute was adopt
ed, the only dissenting votes coming
from the Democratic side. The bill
relating to the bureau of labor statist-
les came up for passage, the question
being on the substitute, which ends
the term of the present incumbent,
and changes the term from four to two
years, but the matter was postponed
until Tuesday.
The assembly will hold an evening
session, but the senate adjourned till
Tuesday.

TWO TRAINS CRASH,
Serious Wreck on 81 Jersey Road
Two Killed

BAYONNE, N. j., March IA SER
ious wreck occurred on the Central
railroad Of New Jersey, at o'clock to-
night at the Forty-second street cross
ing Bayonne. The west-bound Royal
Blue line express, which left Jersey
City at 6:12 was wrecked by coming
into contact with a coal train which
preceded it on an adjoining track.
The two cars of the coal train jumped
the track just as the express hove in
sight and before the engineer of the
express could slow down and stop his
train, the locomotive crashed into the
wrecked cars Of the coal train. The
fireman and engineer of the express
was killed, and the baggagemaster
buried under the debris. Several
others were injured or killed.

UNCLE SAM ONLY WAITING.
Congressman Generally Favor the
International Conference. 80


WASHINGTON, March Talks of
the probabilities of a bimetallic confer
ence, which have been more or less
active since the parliaments of Great
Britain and Germany have agftated
the question, have been given fresh i'm
petus by the adoption of Senator Woie
colts resolution providing for the ap-
pointment of International conferees
The discussion is not confined in
either party to any particular faction,
and in the house the feeling was a
decidedly hopeful one all around that
the movement under way would be
productive of results. The United
States has only been waiting, it is
generally said, for other governments
to take the initiative, or manifest d
disposition to meet US half way
This movement that has recently
started in Europe said Chairman
Springer, of the committee on banking
and currency, must not be construed
into an effort for the reconciliation
of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. On the
contrary, there are few, if any Eu-
ropean statesmen who believe the re-
monetiZation is possible. Their object
is to secure a ratio so near the in
trinsic value of the two metals that
the ratio established will be the basis
OF international exchanges both of
gold and silver. What the ratio shall
be is of little consequence, except to
silver mine owners. Silver is now be-
ing produced at a profit at 60 cents an
ounce. With the ratio 16 to 1, it would
be worth $1.29, and it is very doubtful
whether, If all countries could agree
upon Is to l, such a ratio could be
maintained, owing to the fact that
the production would be stimulated TO
such an extent that silver would be
as plentiful as "copper"

as quickly as possible and many of
them fell on their knees and offered
thanks for their escape from most
awful death.
Meantime, "a number of the passengers
in the rear coaches had returned to
the scene of the wreck and devoted
themselves to the work of rescuing
those imprisoned in the wreck. The
sight here was a most gruesome one.
The carriages were shattered and a
majority of the occupants were lying
beneath the wreckage. The shrteks
and means of the injured were heart
rending. Here and there among the
debris could be seen an upturned face.
the eyes fixed in the CLASSY stare of
death, the features distorted with I'M
known fear. Again
WHAT HAD BEEN A FACE
could be seen crushed out Of all SEM
blance to humanity. Here was an arm,
there was a leg that had been severed
from trunk lying perhaps fifty feet
away. The train hands as soon as
possible telegraphed the news of the
disaster to this city. The intelligence
quickly spread and caused the great
est CONSERVATION among the inhabi-
tants, many of whom had relatives or
friends on the train.
The railroad officials displayed COM
mendable activity, and a special re-
lief train with surgeons, was prompt
ly dispatched to the scene Arrived
there everything possible was done to
alleviate the sufferings of the injured,
some of whom were in such agony that
they prayed for death to relieve them.
Aided by some of the men who were
not injured, the relief corps soon
cleared away the wreckage sufficiently
to allow the eXtrication of the dead
and injured. One hundred and four
dead and eighty-five wounded were
taken from the wreck. The injured
who could stand to be moved were
brought to the City of Mexico On a
special train and taken to the military
hospital, which was thrown open to
the sufferers by orders from President
DiaZ
Many of the dead will never be iden-
titled, some of them being so horribly
mangled that it is almost
IMPOSSIBLE TO RECOGNIZE
the remains as those of human beings.
So far as can be learned, the accident
was due to negligence of the engineer.
1t is stated that when the train en-
tered the incline he made no attempt
to check its speed by using the air
brakes. Had the air brakes failed to
work the momentum could have been
checked with the hand brakes, bun
persons on the train state that they
heard no whistle for the application
of the hand brakes. The engineer and
fireman are believed to be under the
wreck, and why the train was allowed
to run practically wild on one of the
most dangerous sections of the road
will never probably be known.
