TWO TRAINS WERE WRECKED
But the Passengers as by a Miracle
Escaped
A Fast Express Drives Into a Freight
Train-Two Railroad Men Killed
and One Passenger Injured.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.--Two men were
killed and two others severely injured in
double train wreck on the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad near New Brunswick, N. j.,
today The casualty involved the Wash
ington express for this city, which at
the moment was running at the rate of
sixty miles an hour and the marvel is
that it did not result in the death and
manning Of scores of passengers. This
train and freight were running on pa
rallel trackr when the breaking of a
truck on one of the freight cars threw it
from it's course and directly in the way
of the express. The locomotive of the
latter train struck the freight cars and
wrecked eight of them. It was over
turned and plunged down an embank-
ment twelve feet high, falling upon and
killing Engineer Joseph Meagan and
Fireman NJ. W. Chichester. The mail
car and the combination car were a.
carried over the embankment and the
first of three sleepers stopped on the
very brink of the incline.
Mail Clerk Lambert of Washington
was unconscious when taken from the
wreck. He had several ribs broken and
was otherwise severely hurt. but will
recover. Robert Tababbon of this city,
a passenger, was passing from one car
to another when the crash came, and he
was hurled to the ground. He was badly
but not fatally injured. There were a
number of people in the day coach who
sustained bruises but none of them will
suffer more than temporary inconven-
ience. None of the people on the freight
train were hurt. Senator Quay's pri-
vate car was on the train as far as Phil
adelphia but there it was detached. the
senator remaining on it.

THE VENEZUELAN QUESTION
Discussed by President Brewer aad
Secretary Olney
The Case Has Progressed so Well That
the Commissions Report May Not
Be Called For

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Justice
Brewer, president of the Venezuelan
commission, called on Secretary Olney
at the state department today and later
had a call with Secretary Lamont. The
call on Secretary Olney was for the pur-
pose of going over the status of the
Venezuelan question with view of de-
termining what nature the report Of the
Venezuelan commission shall make to
the president. The act creating the body
contemplates a report to the president
in time for his report to congress when
it reassembles next month. The recent
agreement for arbitration raises the
question whether the report shall go
into the subject matter of the dispute,
Mr.. Olney explained the terms of the
agreement and it's bearing on the ques-
tions.
Whether a report should be made
going into the merits of the controversy
was not decided, but will be determined
largely by the manner in which the
agreement is received is conclusive.
Both the United States and Great Brit
ain have accepted it, but the position of
Venezuela is yet to be made known,
Minister AHuraQe anu MI. d. d. otorToW
one of the Venezuelan counsel, being
now at Caracas awaiting a final decis-
ion.
1t can be positively stated that the
commission is prepared to submit full
report, including the subject matter, and
a final ruling as between Great Britain
and Venezuela, if the president and Mrs.
Olney desire it, Some of the material
facts of the case have been put in shape
and are now in the form of proof sheets,
but if the arbitration agreement is ac-
cepted as final on all hands, then the
report of the commission may be mere
ly formal, so as to come within the re-
qurements of the law

Much OF the soil in this country
is strongly imp egnated with alkali
and it is often quite a serious
problem to know just how to util-
ize it. Some plats improve by
cultivation, while low-lying plats
are often ruined by the teaching
Of the mineral from others Of O
more elevated location. The Ogden
Standard recently contained the
following Oh the subject of alkali
lands:
Experiments at the government
agricultural stations, which are
made for the purpose Of determin-
ing the best crops to grow on
alkali soil or withstand drouths
are always of great interest to the
farmers Of this interior region.
Lately the experiment station at
Bakersfield, California, has been
testing two Australian, forage
plants, one salt brush, known as
Autriplex, and the other Modiola.
Both plants have given good re-
suits, but especially is this true of
Modiola. The stations bulletin
says the seeds of the Modiola
plant, placed in black alkali soil,
yielded about three tons of drv
feed per acre. The writer in the
bulletin sums up the merits of the
plant in this manner: "This plant
is green all the year, stands frost
better than alfalfa, will grow with
out care, will stand drouth, is not
killed by water, will grow on alkali
ground, is a good pasture for
stock. yielding a big flow of the
best milk, and SO possess the
ground that troublesome weeds
cannot find place to grow" He
then says that these qualities he
has not observed in any other one
plant 'sand they are ample to COM
mend for it at least trial in MANY
places where the conditions are
favorable"
