On most subjects he is very intelli-
gent, and his friends have hopes of
his ultimate recovery.

WRECKED IN THE FOG.

l. & G. N. Railway Accident Near Hutto,
AUSTIN, Tex, Jan. 21.-(Special)
News reached city this morning
of train wreck at the small sta
ton of Hutto, some thirty miles
north Of here, shortly after mid
night last night, which resulted in
the killing of Engineer Henry
Mannis. The north bound cannon
ball on the i. & G.. N. broke a
coupling at Hutto which delayed
the train 10 minutes. A cattle
train with Is cars was behind the
cannon ball and the brakeman
went back to flag the cattle train.
A very heavy fog was prevalent so
that it was impossible to see 20
feet distant. The coupling being
fixed the flagman was called in
and the express started. At the
same instant the cattle train came
laundering round q bend and
smashed into the rear OF the
sleeper without moments notice.
The collision derailed the locomo-
tive, tender and three cars of the
cattle train, but did no damage
worth speaking OF to the sleeper.
Engineer Msnnis was caught be-
tween the engine and tender and
mashed into a pulp.

MANUFACTURERS MEETING.
Warner Miller on the Objects of the AssO-
citation and on Nicaragua Canal.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2l.-Ex-Senator
Warner Miller arrived in this city
last night to attend the meeting of
the National Association of Manu-
facturers of the United States, of
which organization he is vice-pres-
ident. In an interview he said:
''The object of the association,
which meets today, is to get the
manufacturers of the country in
touch with each other and the in
dustrial life of the nation, and to
create public sentiment that will
influence congress to establish the
policy of reciprocity and to favor
the creation of fast mail and direct
communication with South Ameri-
can nations, Japan, China and
other points, whose trade ought to
be ours. We must have mail and
rapid communication with these
countries, or we can never have
their business.
s'The Manufacturers association
is also interested in international
waterways and communications
and in the building of the Nicara-
guam canal, which is necessary for
modern intercourse between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts as well
as between China, Japan, South
America and the Sandwich islands.
1t is also necessity for our ma
tional defense. When the canal is
built it will practically obviate the
necessity for double navy to
guard our Atlantic and Pacific
coasts. AS to the completion of
that enterprise there can be no
doubt. / know that the canal will
be built and if the United States
does not build it Europe will and
then there will be another cause
of war when national troubles and
jealousies arise. The present
Venezuelan question emphasizes
the necessity for this country of
the canal. Money for its construc-
ton could long ago have been Sc
cured from Europe if our national
legislature had not been talking
and passing resolutions about its
ownership. II congress does not
do anything this session we will
feel perfectly free to look else
where for the means to complete
the link between the oceans. II
the report of the comission sent to
examine is such as has been given
out in the papers we are prepared
to disprove its falsity. We can
prove by the best engineers in this
country and abroad that our work
is feasible.

GAS EXPLOSION.
FORTY LIVES LOST IN NEW HAVEN.
New Kind of Gas Being Experimental
With Causes Terrible Death and
Loss of Property,

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Jan. 2l.-
bulletin. There has been a big
explosion at the foot of Orange
street. on Crown street, and a
number of men are probably
killed. 1t cannot be learned what
caused the explosion. The building
was occupied by English & Mer-
rick, makers and jobbers of car
riage goods. The building is a mass
of flames, from the basement to
the roof. There were over twenty
men in the building, and it is not
known if any are alive.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Jan. 21.-
A terrific explosion occurred this
forenoon, on the second floor of the
four-story brick building owned
and partially occupied by English
and Merrick. The explosion was
followed by the .almost instant
outbreaking of fire, and in few
seconds the three upper stories
were in flames. 1t is stated there
were 40 persons at work in the
building. Three minutes before
the explosion the occupants of
several offices in front of the build
ing were seen at their desks, and
it is almost certain some of them
lost their lives. The firemen were
helpless in their efforts to save any
of the burning building, and con-
fined themselves to saving the
surrounding property in the thick
ly settled district.
AT this hour it is impossible to
give the number of the dead, but
it is known one man was killed
outright and several badly wound
ed, and Others painfully burned.
The explosion blew out the entire
front of the building and smashed
glass in near by places. 1t was 70 |
lowed five minutes later by sec
ond explosion, less severe than the
first. The explosion was caused by
a new kind of gas, with which
experiments were being made.
Recently the gas had been tested
and found to be satisfactory, but
highly explosive. On the floor
where the explosion occurred there
were twenty men at work.

HELPING Homestead Settlers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. = The
house committee on public lands
has received from Secretary Smith
a report strongly adverse to the
free homestead bill. The bill alb
solves all persons completing five
years residence on lands taken
and occupied under the homestead
laws from making any further
payment to secure their title, other
than the fees incident to filing and
obtaining proof. The measure is a
sweeping one and the land Office
officials estimate that it's passage
would cost the government $780,
100000, and 100000 in Okla
homa alone. This is the amount
paid to the Indians for the relin-
punishment of their lands there.

VENEZUELAN DISPATCHES.
The Country is Taking Active Steps
Against English Enterprise.

LIE country Is taxing ACuVe steps

NEW YORK, Jan. 2l.-A dispatch
to the Herald from Caracas, Ven.
ezuela says: The cabinet is now
discussing a case which has at
tracted much attention here. 1t
involves the introduction of manu-
features from England into the re-
public and is the first step, per.
haps, in practical application of
the suggestion that a commercial
warfare be waged against England
and all European countries.
George Turnbull, OF Boston, who
claims partnership in the great
iron mines In the Chimataca
mountains, not far from the mouth
of the Orinoco, and within the
territory contested by England,
started from Great Britain with
mining machines and material
which were consigned to firm in
Ciudad Bolivia: In the course of
his voyage he stopped at Barba.
does where he disembarked with
his material. There he chartered
q vessel and had her manifest APP
proved by the Venezuelan consul,
his destination being as he declared
La Guayara. When Mr.. Turn
bull arrived at La Gauy-
ara the collector of customs
said that all was right and he
dispatched deputy to see that the
English material was properly re-
embarked for the mine, Mr.. Turn
bull taking tug for Bolivar.
There, when he offered to pay the
duty on the machinery, he was told
that he had violated the law by
not going to the point originally
appearing in the manifest. He was
further informed that his act was
regarded as an invasion Of Venezu-
elan territory and that 1t was prob
able that his machinery would be
confiscated. The mines near China
taca are in the territory covered by
the Monoa grant, owned by an
American syndicate and including
nearly fifteen millions of acres. The
grant was made by President Cres-
pc for the purpose Of developing
the country now claimed by Eng
land.

boycott against Europeans, has

Will Soon Recognize Cuba.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-It is re-
ported here that action on the part
of this government in according
belligerent rights to the Cuban in
surgents is about to be taken.
President Cleveland and Secretary
Olney are said to be ready to do
so; in fact, the proclamation has
already been drafted, so the report
has it. While the proclamation
will not recognize the Cuban re-
public in the sense of expressing
sympathy for the struggling pa
triots or extend them congratula-
tions, it will formally announce
the neutrality Of this government
between both contending parties.
This proclamation, so the rumor
has it, may, be issued tomorrow if
not, it will not be delayed many
days longer.
