WITH PEOPLE.
Six PassengersAre Rescued More
or Less Injured.

MILwAUKEE, Wis. Feb. A trolley
car on the Russell avenue and Holton
street line ran through the open draw of
Kinnickenic bridge at S:20 o'clock this
morning. The car struck endwise on
the ice, through which it plunged into
the water. The motorman was drowned
and at least two passengers are reported
to have lost their lives.
The car was bound toward Bayview
and was pretty well filed with passen-
gers, when the accident occurred, but
part of them were rescued without seri-
GUS injury. The ice broke the windows of
the car, which stood on end only partially
filled with water. The first body recov
cred was that of a woman, who was taken
out few minutes after the accident
The confusion was such thai nobody
could tell an hour after the catastrophe
how many people had lost their lives, but
it is believed that at least six besides the
motorman are dead. There were ten or
twelve people in the car, the exact num-
Der being unknown. Six were taken out
alive, and the others are all dead.
Those rescued were:
w. p. Severey, 702 Walnut street, hand
cut; A Oertel, 766 Island avenue; G. W.
Chase, 1871 Fourth street; Fl. Keuhne, 703
Reed street; X. Brand, $40 Grove street,
Ella Wachols, 11S Eleventh street. hurt
about the shoulder
The dead are:
Miss Ehlmann, a kindergarten teach er
in the Twelfth district primary school
and daughter of Prof. Ehlmann, direc-
tor of music in the public schools.
John Kennedy, motorman of car 145.
The car was in charge of Conductor
Peterson.
The bridge had been opened to permit
the passage of the f1reboat Foley, which
was breaking the ice in the Kinnickenic.
The members of the Foley's crew rend-
cred valuable assistance in rescuing
those who were saved and in recovering
the bodies of the victims.

TWO SIDES TO IT.
Both Sides Appear to be Guilty Of
Outrases in Armenia.

Both Sides Appear to be Guilty of
Outrages in Armenia
LONDON, Feb. 4-The letter of the cor
respondent of the Associated Press who
is now in Armenia, giving the first d.
rect and authentic facts regarding the
reported Turkish atrocities in Armenia
was published here this merning, after
having appeared exclusively in all the
newspapers of the Associated Press yes
terday.
1t is attracting much attention in Eng
land, as it is admitted to be the first i'm
partial account of the troubles con-
corning which so much has been
said and written by the Armenians and
by the Turks. The Daily Telegraph for
Instance says: 1.-The story is enough to
make civilization and humanity despair
Both sides appear to be guilty of acts
against every canon of honesty, morality
and civilization.
The Daily News. in its comments on
the same subject remarks: Even if the
accusations are fully proved the bulk of
the Armenians have been extremely pa
tent under hideous cruelty"
The st. James Gazette says: England
had better take notice that there are un-
doubleday two sides to the question"

meeting of the inter-colonial postal con-
ference held yesterday was attended by
the postmaster generals of all the Aus
tralian colonies. Hon. John Gavan Duffy,

The Pacific cable question was also
discussed
Hon. A. Thyme, x-postmaster general
of Victoria, moved a resolution that the
cost of cable from Vancouver to Neckar

SULLIVAN AND THE CALF.


The Ex-Champion Drunk at Kansas City
and Acts Very Funny.
KANSAS CITY, Feb John L. Sulli-
van made life merry in Kansas City Sat
urday afternoon and Sunday. The play,
"a True American" had to go on with
out him, for he was gloriously drunk in
ex- Alderman Andy Foley's saloon, at
Eighth and Walnut streets, in company
with a calf and crowd of tipsy admir-
ers.
Ever since his arrival in the city last
Sunday the pugilist actor has been i'm
billing SO deeply that it has required con-
slant attention on the part of his manag-
ers to keep him in any kind of a present
able condition. Yesterday morning he
started out bright and early, and after
spending the day in several saloons
turned up at Foley's, too far gone for
entrance into the theater. While pour
ing sundry drinks down his throat, a
farmer, with good sized calf in his wa
.gon, drove up before the saloon and in
CURED of the crowd, which was about the
doorway, whether any one wanted to buy
nice calf. Sullivan, who was near at
hand inside the saloon, said that he
wished just such a calf as the farmer
offered. The farmer objected to carry
ing the calf into the saloon where the
ex-champion was filling up, whereupon
! the latter rushed out to the wagon
picked up the calf bodily and bore it
into the saloon. Then a sort of bac-
chanalia broke loose, with Sullivan as
heavy man and Foley as the light com
edian. Sullivan bestrode the calf and
Foley led the animal round and round
the saloon floor by the rope which was
attached to its neck. while the onlookers
| nowled and cheered with delight From
time to time Sullivan ordered drinks and
then went back to the calfs and Foley.
The uproar lasted something like four
hours. The maudlin fighter varied his
calf rides with several speeches. In the
course of one of them he told how his
! friend Foley and he were students at
Yale.
Finding riding the calf somewhat tire
some Foley suggested that as his safe
used for coal-was empty it be filed
with the calf. Sullivan accepted the sug-
gestion with a great deal of enthusiasm,
which was heightened by numerous
drinks, and the two, the ex-champion' and
| the ex-alderman. seized the unfortunate
calf and endeavored to stuff it into the
| safe. Naturally, their rather shaky,
! wabblY, tangled efforts caused more
| amusement, but the safe proved too
| small.
Finally Sullivan was loaded into hack
and hauled away. His hat was hanging
on the side of his head, his collar was
| soiled and his cravat was all awry, but
he was full of song and alcohol and was
murmuring the last strains of "Daisy
Bell"

WASHINGTON, Feb. Am official dis
patch has been received at the Japanese
legation, confirming the report that the
Chinese peace ENJOYS have been sent
back to China by the Japanese because
the ENJOYS were not clothed with plenery
powers by their government.
1t appears in fact that the ENJOYS did

came to find out in q, general way what
it was that the Japanese Wanted as terms
