AN OFFICIALS OPINION.
Tran importation Master Richardson
Tells How the Accident May
Have Happened

George T. Richardson, master of trans.
portation of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, said last evening that the only
information he had received about the
accident was what he had got from the
vicinity of the wreck by telephone.
THE engineer, John Keyer, had been
notified to look out for sand on the truck
and in general way was told to keen n
sharp lookout How the accident nan
pened 1. of course, do not know, but am Of
the impression that it was caused by a tide
washout.
The country down there between Baden
and South San Francisco is rather fat and
there is always considerable water there
in winter, and there must have been
great deal there this afternoon after that
neavy shower.
ut is probable that portion of one side
under the track was washed away and
that the rails remained in position, and by
reason OF that the engineer could not dis
cover it. When the engine passed over ii
its weight caused the track to sink and the
engine to careen and fall on its side.
The engineer was taken out alive but
fatally hurt A physician was sent to him
soon as possible, but he died in short time.
he was one of the old employees of the
road. The caboose went over too and the
smoker careened but did not topple. No
one but the unfortunate engineer was in
iured.

INTERESTS THE COAST.
CaGfornia's Delegates in Congress Combine
to Secure Legislation desired
BY Miners.

w WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 26-The
California delegation held caucus at the
Ebbitt House to consider the bills proposed
by the California Miners Association
Senators White and Perkins and Repre-
sentatives Barham, Loud, McLachlan,
Johnson and Hilborn were present. Hon.
TRY l.. Ford, representing the miners, ex-
planned the several bills drafted by the
Miners Association and already intro
ouced by Barham and Johnson.
Most of the time was spent in discussing
the advlsability of asking Congress to APP
proprlate $500 for the construction of
wing dams and other restraining works I'M
der Caminettis hydraulic mining bill. The
idea is to attempt to have this sum in
Guided In regular appropriation bill and
not by special act. The California Legis-
lature has already appropriated $3.50 900,
to become available when Congress has
provided like amount. The delegation
seems 10 be united on this proposition.
Representative Loud wants to have
Shag, Arch and Blossom rocks blown out
OF San francisco harbor, as they are dan
gerous to deep draught vessels in foggy
weather. Blossom Rock was blasted some
years ago, so there is now twenty-four
feet OF water over it, but latterly ships
draught. The big naval vessels would
scrape the bottom of Blossom Rock.
Loud also wishes to secure another sur
vey tor AIviso Slough. Engineers have
already reported adversely on this project
three times, but San Jose people are again
urging that this slough be deepened and
Strengthened, it being seven miles from
San Jose to the old wharves at Alviso, and
there being to connecting railroad.

A STUDENTS STORY.
He Attributes the Catastrophe tt
the Lack of TraCk-WaIkars

RE Attributes the Catastrophe to
the Lack of Track-Wafkers.
Stanford University student who did
not desire his name used for fear that he
might be called from his studies to attend
the inquest said that the shock was so sud
den that he was thrown violently into the
aisle of the car.
1T appears to me" he said "that most
men are greater towards than women in
cases OF this kind. Some of the male
passengers paid no more attention to the
ladies than il they had been so many sheep
or so much baggage, but simply rushed
for the rear end of the car looking out for
their own safety. 1t seems to me that this
accident could have been avoided ana the
engineers life spared had the company
taken proper precautions regarding the
track.
"a number of washouts have occurre d
in this very locality, and had the track
walkers been employed, as they formerly
were, they must have discovered the
danger that threatened the trains going
either way.
cit must have taken several hours for
the water to eat away the bed of the track.
and within that time it would certainly
seem that the danger should have been
discovered, However, we are thankful
that we escaped with nothing worse than
a shaking up.

THE CONDUCTORS STORY.
1t Was Owing to His Clear-Headed
Action That Gill Was


Conductor Stanwood was the clearest-
headed man on board the train after the
wreck occurred. His first thought was for
the engineer, who he surmised must be
in great danger, and, after convincing
himself that the passengers,were in no i'm
mediate peril, he hurried forward to the
wrecked engine. To his efforts is due the
prompt rescue of Fireman Gill.
II knew that poor Jack must have gone
down with his engine" he said, land
when the sudden shock came-the first
warning of the disaster-I made up my
mind that he must be rescued at once if
at all When [ climbed over the baggage
car l saw that Gill was trying to support
him on top of the broken engine cab. 1t
took but cursory glance, however, to
show that he was beyond help. We did
not waste any time, though, III using every
effort to resuscitate him, but it was of no
use, and the company has lost one of the
most faithful men 1t its employ.
81 cannot understand how the wreck
could have occurred. The uptrain passed
in safety and the force of the water carry
ing away the track must have been terrific
to accomplish the damage it did in so
short time. With the little warning we
had l don't see how it could have been
avoided. Beyond the wetting that some
OF the passengers received from jumping
into the water and few bruises from sud
den contact with seats I know of no one
being injured -

Bond Bill Will Be
Passed.
UTAH'S TWO CHAMPIONS.
Cannon and Brown to Throw
Their Support to the White
Metal.
FOREIGN POLICY DISCUSSION.
Orators of the Upper House Will
Deliver Speeches Upon the
Monroe Doctrine.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 26.-The
week beginning tomorrow ends the second
month this Congress has been in session.
Despite the fact that there has been no
holiday recess, but little has been accom-
piished, owing largely to consideration in
the Senate of the substitute 10 the House
bond bill. Although this measure was
speedily disposed OF in the House, 1T has
been the unfinished business of the Senate
for several weeks. The end, however, is
in sight, for on Friday last Jones OF Ar
kansas, in charge of the BILL gave notice
that he would ask the Senate to remain In
session Thursday next until the bill was
disposed of. 1t is hardly likely that vote
will be reached on that day, as number
of Senators have expressed their intention
of speaking to the pending substitute, and
time is too short after the morning bust-
ness each day has been attended TO to per-
NIT of the delivery OF the speeches. 1t IS
probable. however, that before the week is
out vote will have been taken and the
free-coinage substitute adopted by the
Senate.
There can be little doubt as to how the
vote will result. Jones has steadfastly re-
fused to agree to a time for a vote until
dlIGT Tue cltCIlOu Oh Tile LWO new CShdbOlo
from Utah. They were due to reach this
city at a late hour tonight, and as soon as
their election had been announced Jones
gave the notice to the Senate of his desire
to reach a vote this week. Jones asserts
positively that the free coinage substitute
will be adopted, and he places the major
ity at between i've and eight votes.
incidentally during the week there will
be more or less of discussion on the Mon
roe doctrine resolution reported by the
Committee on Foreign Relations. Thurs
ton of Nebraska, one OF the new Senators,
but man well known in National politics,
has given notice that he will address the
Senate on these resolutions Tuesday, and
a speech of some force is expected from
the Nebraska Senator.
Quite an array of talent has been Sc
cured for the discussion of the silver bill
this week, and if all the gentlemen who
have signitied their intention are prepared
to speak promptly, there need be no lag
| ging in the debate. Senator Knute Mel
son of Minnesota will address the Senate
tomorrow. Tillman of South Carolina
will take the floor, according to his pres
emit expectations, Tuesday. 1t will be his
maiden speech in the Senate, and the rep
utation of the man at home is such as to
lead to great expectations from him in the
| Senate.

MURPHY WAS VIGILANT.
Did All in His Power to Warn the
Engineer.

Waterman Murphy, who is supposed to
look out for the safety of trains at Baden
station, insisted that he had done every
thing possible to stop the train after learn
ing of the washout.
"a man came running breathlessly to
me" he said, land told me that the track
was gone for a quarter of a mile near the
South San Francisco cut.
Before | could understand the danger
the train came by, and though did all in
my power to signal it the engineer seemed
to pay no attention. AS matter of fact I
am not supposed to watch that section of
the track, and if any watchman or track
walker is to blame for the accident it is the
man who is located at the South San
Francisco station"

Miss Nina Thomas of San Jose, one of
the few female passengers who were able
to control themselves sufficiently to talk
of the accident, said that for a moment she

TIE FIREMAN'S STORY.
How He ValnIy Tried to Save the
Life of Engineer


Charles Gill; the fireman, when seen in
the rear coach, after he had recovered his
senses to some extent, said:
81 warned the engineer of the Impend-
ing danger as we passed Baden station. 1
saw red lantern, which was apparently
being carried alongside the track, swing
toward the engine. l scented danger and
called to Jack, saying: we had better
look out. There is a red lantern and there
may be some danger on the road He
laughed and said, Il guess it is only a
track-walker.' But at the same time, as
matter of precaution, instructed me to
slow down.
The track seemed to be all right, and
we ran on for some time until near the cut
just this side of South San Francisco
station. Then the engine gave sudden
lurch and rolled over to the right. 1
sDrang through the window to cave nv
sell. L struck the water head first and
dove to save myself from the engine in
case it came my way. AS I went through
the window l saw poor Jack beneath me
with his hand on the throttle and look
of establishment on his face that showed
me that he did not realize the danger.
after being under the water what
seemed to me to be a very long time,
came to the surface and struck out for
portion of the cab which I saw floating
near me. Ny head was in whirI from a
blow L had received from the cab as 1 went
out OF the window, and l was some time
In gaining the floating roof.
Il could scarcely drag myself on top of
1t, but finally succeeded and then looked
around for Jack.
Il had scarcely done so when the en-
glneer came up alongside of me, gasping
for breath and apparently very badly in
lured. | endeaYored to draw him up on
the floating wreck. but being heavy man
was not able to handle him and he fell
back into the water.
Seeing that he was unable to help him
self, swan away from the roof and got
him by the arm. By this time the con-
ductor and train crew had reached us, and
they took Is both back to the coaches.
"keyer must have been badly injured
when the cab was broken from the engine,
for ne made no effort to help himself, and
said nothing when asked him ii he was
hurt. He was limp, and / saw that he
must be helped or that he would drown.

den that he was unable TO clear himself
before the machine went over into the
ditch.
