Washout Causes Fatal Accident on
an Ohio Road.

Bradford, Pa, April 9-The west-bound
freight train on the Buffalo, Rochester &
Pittsburg railroad, while running at a
moderate speed near Sykes. a small sta
ton between Dubois and Punxsutawney,
ran into a washout. The tracks run along
the side of the Clarion river al this point
for some distance The fog was so dense
this morning that Engineer Taylor did
not see the washout until he ran into IT,
The entire train was dumped into the rag
ing torrent. Engineer Taylor and Fire
man Mcclellan, are buried under the
wreck. All wires are down, and further
details are unobtanabie
The engine and eighteen cars were de-
molished and three persons killed in to-
days wreck on the Buffalo, Rochester e.
Pittsburg road near Punxsutawney. The

VENEZUELA is MOST GRATEFUL
Special Messages Thanking the United
States for sympathy.

Washington April 9.-President Crespo
of Venezuela has sent a special message
TO the congress of Venezuela concerning
the attitude of the United States on the
British-Venezuelan question. Immediate
ly following the receipt of the presidents
message the Venezuelan congress passed
a resolution thanking the United States
for its sympathy and support.
Senior Andreade, the Venezuelan min
lister here, today received copies of the
message and resolutions. President Cres-
pos message says: 1.-THE high powers of
the United States have just given in the
pending question between Venezuela and
England n signal proof of the extent to
which the principle of human justice pre-
walls among the great people. The chief
magistrate OF that powerful republic be-
ing persuaded of the great peril which is
involved for American interests through
a prolongation of a conflict of such
greviOus nature, expressed in his message
to congress the strong wish of inducing
Great Britain to put an end to the dispute
by arbitration. In the house of represen-
tatives there was introduced in conse-
quence a resolution, which has been in
serted in the yellow book of Venezuela,
and in the terms of which is disclosed the
nOblest interest toward seeing the con-
troversy closed informally with justice
and reason. The resolution earnestly rec
ommends to the two contending parties
the adoption of the course indicated by
the message of the president of the United
States in order to peacefully settle the
dispute. The legislative act referred to
was approved by both chambers and Pres
ident Cleveland affixed the signature and
seal thereto on the LIST of February. Such
tokens of the spirit of justice with which
the transcendant question of Guiana
boundaries is studied and considered by
the magistrate and Legislature of the great
republic of the north requires from Ven
ezuela a significant act Of special graft
tude, which only you can sanction, so as
to express the wish of the people of Ven
ezuela. Certain l feel that this idea will
have the most enthusiastic acceptance in
the heart of our worthy legislators.
The congress in joint assembly acted
upon President Crespo's suggestion and
the resolutions express the deep apprecia-
ton of Venezuela for the cooperation of
the United States in the contention

Secret Service Men Of Chicago
Unearth a Swindle.
POSTOFFICE OFFICIALS TALK
Two. Cent Postage Has Been Robbed of
Thousands OF Dollars. IL Is
Claimed.

Chicago. April 9.-The Tribune says:
United States secret service operatives
in Chicago and Washington have IN
earthed probably the most unique swim
die ever perpetrated upon any govern
ment. IL is believed thousands upon
thousands of dollars have been secured
by number of skilled cOunterfeiters,
who have reproduced with wonderful
skill and accuracy the pink 2-cent stamp
of commerce. Whether the counterfeit
ers have accomplices in dishonest post
masters is not known. 1t is now thought
the country is flooded with these spu-
rious stamps. and the United States
has been carrying millions of letters
from which not / cent of revenue was
received. Chicago has apparently been
the headquarters of the gang and its
product has been shipped to distribut
ing agents through express companies.

ONE MORE DEMOCRATIC KICKER
Vain Attempts TO Throw Cold W alter on
the Free silver Movement

Chicago. April 9.-Ben Gable, member of
the democratic central committee, does
not see that any good end will be attain
ed by the silver convention which the
state central committee has set for June
4. The manner in which this convention
is called is wholly unprecedented in the
history OF the democratic party" said Mr.
Cable The cause which the democratic
party may well espouse at this time is
that of government control of railways
telegraphs and street car lines. That will
some day be achieved.
Under the prevailing hard times,
suppose the result of the June convention
may be favorable to silver Yet believe
that one year hence the party would hes
itate Al taking a pronounced stand for
silver. When times are bad men are nat
urally radical. But the times show signs
of improvement In prosperous times
men are conservative and action on so
grave an issue as the silver question
should not be hastily taken"
CREATES A DEMAND FOR SILVER.
London. April 9.-The Standard today
says silver was in good demand owing
to the news that Japan's terms for peace
with China stipulated for the opening of
a large section of China to foreign trade.
1t is believed this will lead TO an increased
demand for silver in the east.

gin of the Explosion.

Seattle, Wash, April "a Post-1n-
telligencer special from New Whatcom
says of the Blue Canyon mine disaster:
THE disaster was undoubtedly caused
by an accumulation of fire-damp, which
was exploded by a blast in the breast
Of gangway. The faces of the men
are badly burned, but a majority of
those who were working in the rooms
off the gangway were only slightly dis
figured by the fire. Physicians and min-
ers say that the men working in the
breast must have been killed by the
shock of the explosion, while the others
succumbed to the fire-damp as they
slid down from the rooms to the gang
way, then filled with deadly gas. This
gangway is reached by a tunnel $50
feet long and the distance from the in
tersection of the gangway to the breast
where the explosion took place is about
900 feet The main airshaft reached
the gangway about 100 feet from the
tunnel and air is supplied by water
power which was not affected by the
explosion.
when the correspondent left the
mine, shortly before midnight, the work
of washing the faces and hands of the
dead men had commenced. All that is
now possible is being done to alleviate
the distress of the families of the de-

Attitude Of the Prcss-Plans for Anuihil.
alton of the Japanese.
Washington, April 9-Japanese mail ad-
vices up to March 16 show that the native
press in the peace mission of Ii Hung
Chang occupies a leading place. As they
attach much Importance to the present
embassy the papers state their ideas on
the terms of peace more definitely than
heretofore. While some journals are mod
crate in their demands, others declare in
unequivocal terms that peace Is impossi-
BILE until the flag of the rising sun floats
over Pekin The Mainichi, in a rather
philanthroplc manner, announces the an
nexation of a part of continental China,
not merely for the two usually advanced
reasons Ito secure the independence of
Corea and maintenance of peace in the
easD, but for two others, viz: it would be
contrary to the principles of humanity
to suffer Chinese in the newly occupied
districts to fall again under the barbarous
rule Of China, and 1t would be regrettable
in the interests of Chinese in general if,
after the war, they did not have enlight-
ened Chinese near by to instruct them in
the arts and sciences Of civilization.
IAN excellent scheme for humiliation
Of japanese" submitted by a sage of high
repute, is produced from a Chinese news
paper The scheme was originated in
answer to proclamation of the governor
Of Marking who ordered all those under
his jurisdiction to devise some scheme
for the destruction Of all japanese. The
scheme is this: Every soldier should be
armed with a sword, a long bamboo pole,
and bucket of water. The pole and
bucket should be hurled at the opposing
ranks, so as to wet their powder and
render guns useless. The bamboo poles
should be thrust between the legs of the
enemy and given a twist, which would
cause the Japanese to topple over in con-
fusion. After that It would be an easy
matter to finish of the dripping and pros
trate foes with swords" The governor
drove the pseudo sage from his presence
in fit OF rage.
Evidently the stoutest resistance the
Japanese expeditionary army as 1t adj
vances on Pekin will meet, says one of the
Japanese papers, will be by the Mobam-
medan soldiers Of China. This was indi-
Gated by the conduct of General Tsao at
the battle Of Phyong Yang. He acquitted
himself as a true general should, while
Yei and the other Chinese generals dis
graced themselves by pusilanimity. Cen
eral Tsao's conduct at Phyong Yang and
Admiral Ting's at Wei-Hai-Wei We're the
paper says, the solitary bright spots in
China's dark record during the war. Tsao
was the patriarch Of Chinese NIohamme-
dams. A story has been told that when the
report of Tsaos death reached his native
district his wife declared she would coll
lect some 5000 Amazons and avenge the
death of her husband, and the Mahomme-
dams shared her resolution.
