CRASH IN A TUNNEL.
Trainmen Nearly Perish in
the Burning Wreck.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Dec. ia
heavy freight train drawn by two 10
comotives crashed into train Of
empty coal cars in the Vossburg tun-
mel, on the Lehigh Valley railroad, this
morning. Both engines and about six
teen freight cars were derailed, block
ing the tunnel completely. In a few
minutes after the collision the wreck
took fire and the big tunnel began to
fill with smoke. Engineer John Thom-
as, who had the throttle Of the first en-
gine, was thrown violently out Of the
cab. His fireman, James Deegan, had
an ankle sprained The other train
men escaped injury, but they had the
greatest difficulty in making their es-
cape from the tunnel. They had to
crawl on their hands and knees for 300
feet. When they reached the mouth Of
the tunnel they were very weak. The
railroad officials telegraphed to Wilkes
barre and Towanda for fire engines and
firemen. Special trains from both
places carried men and apparatus to
the scene of the wreck at the rate of
mile a minute. After hard days work
the flames were finally subdued at
o'clock this evening. Traffic was de-
layed, as all trains hadn to be ru
around the tunnel.

Romero Robledo, accompanied him to
his apartments. About 100 people had
collected, but dispersed almost imme-
diately after he entered the building.
The partisans of Gen. Weyler pretend
that a crowd of 5000 people rendered
him an ovation with shouts of Long

and the like. He will be received by
the queen regent tomorrow.
Ell Correo Espanol says that the
Carlists have abandoned their projected
demonstration against President Nc
Kinley's message to congress, as they
have not been able to agree on the
subject. 1t is alleged that the insur-
gents in Eastern Cuba have asked the
government for details as to the ex-
tent and nature of autonomy, with a
view of coming to terms.
Gen. Weyler in the course of an in
terview expressed the pleasure it had
given him to find, from the demonstra-
tions accorded him, that the glorious
traditions of the Spanish race were not
dead and that it was still ready for
sacrifices in defense of the honor of the
nation and the army. He knew, he
said, that the Canovas cabinet in Au-
gust last gave the Washington govern
ment to understand that it was the ma
tons will to pursue his (Weyler's) pol
icy in Cuba until the rebellion should
be suppressed without ever consenting
to an interference. He failed to under
stand how the United States, silent be-
fore the declaration of Canovas, now
adopted in President McKinley's mes
sage tone insulting to Spain and the
Spanish army"
He believed. he declared emphatic
ally, that the government should be
compelled to publish the Canovas note
as satisfaction to the arr and also
to protest by all means in its power
against President McKinleys message
to congress.
To his personal knowledge he as
serted, the generals residing in Madrid
felt keenly on this point, while he was
confident that all the Conservative ele-
ment of the country would combine to
avert the ruin and dishonor of the ma

WASHINGTON, Dec 12.-A1l the
members of the cabinet whose official
duties will permit their leaving Wash
ington at this time will start for Can
ton tomorrow evening to attend the
funeral of Mrs. Mckinley. The party
will include Secretaries Alger, Bliss,
Wilson and Gary, Attorney General
McKenna and Secretary Sherman,if the
latter is feeling well enough to make
the trip. Secretaries Long and Gage
are detained in Washington by pressing
departmental duties, Vice President
Hobart will also remain here, his pres
ence being necessary as the presiding
officer of the senate The ladies of the
party will be Mrs. McKenna, Mrs. Gary,
Mrs Alger and Mrs. Porter. The ar
rangements for the journey are being
made here by Mr.. Porter, secretary to
the president. The party will have two
private cars at their disposal. They
will leave Washington at Z 10 p. m. over
the Pennsylvania railroad, reaching
Canton about 10 o'clock the following
morning. After an informal luncheon
and a brief rest, the party will attend
the funeral services and return by the
evening train to Washington. The
presidents car will probably be added
to the train. and he will return at once
to the White house. The president on
his return will devote himself to dis
posing of the large amount of routine
business which has accumulated in his
absence and will receive no callers for
the remainder of the week.
Just what effect the death OF the pres
ident's mother will have upon the So
cial events in official circles for the
remainder of the winter it is impossible
to say, the matter being left in abey-
ance until the presidents return.

securing much needed exercise an


fresh air.
In the afternoon the president and
Abner Mckinley drove to West Lawn
cemetery, about a mile west of the
home, to attend personally to arrange
ments for the interment, which will be
made in the family lot where lie the re-
mains of the husband and father, and
which adjoins the lot which for more
than twenty years has contained the
bodies of the two children of the presi-
dent and his wife, under carefully
kept mounds that are strewn with
flowers whenever the parents come to
Canton. Today the president tenderly
and tearfully laid clusters of flowers
on the graves. while the site Of the
mothers resting place was being Sc
lected.
Messages of coincidence are pouring
into the telegraph Office from all quar-
ters, and many friends have already
called at the house to offer sympathy.
Mr.. Stewart L. Bowman, of Lorain,
the husband of one Of Mrs. Mckinley S
grandchildren, joined the family circle
this morning. The children and grand
children, except Mrs. George B. Nor
ris, CT San Francisco, a daughter of
the late David Mckinley, and all of
the immediate family, were here for the
closing scenes of the life. Other rel
atives will come for the funeral. AS
sistant Secretary of State Day has re-
mained, and as an old friend Of the
president is assisting in making the
funeral arrangements.
During her life, MIS-. Mckinley show
ed fondness for visiting her children,
and besides having them at her home
as much as possible, frequently visit
ed at their homes. She spent one win
ter with her son David in California,
shortly before his death, and frequently
went to the Somerset, Fa., home of her
son Abner as we'll as to Pittsburg and

Public Funeral for HRS. Mckinley Found to
Be Necessity.

CANTON, O., Dec. 12.-From reports
received here this evening it is expect
ed that Secretary Bliss, of the interior
department; Secretary of War Alger
Attorney General McKenna, his wife
Gary and Secretary to the President
Porter and wife will reach here Tues
day morning to attend the funeral
services of Mother Mckinley.
The funeral services will be held in
the First NJ. E. church, of this city, at
1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Inter-
ment will follow in West Lawn ceme-
terry, just west of the city, and Tues
day evening President Mckinley and
wife and officials from Washington
who attend the funeral will leave for
the capital, reaching there about noon
Wednesday. These are the arrange
ments so far as completed since the
death of Mother Mckinley shortly af-
ter 2 o'clock this morning. 1t was at
first thought by the family that the
services should be Of a more private
nature, held at the old homestead. 1t
was soon learned, however, through
the pastor of Mrs. McKinley's church
and members of the congregation, as
we'll as from other friends, that the
number of friends who desired to pay
their last tribute of respect to the be-
loved woman, by attending the obse-
quies, could not be accommodated with
such arrangements, and church serv-
ices were decided upon. Rev. DR.. Man
chester, the pastor of the church, has
announced that it is his desire and
have the ministers of all of the
churches, of which there are about
thirty, occupy the pulpit and partici-
pate in the services.
Pallbearers have been selected from
among the older members of the
church and those who for many years
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-12-13

have been close neighbors of the de-
ceased. They are: Judge William R.
Day, Hon. William A. Lynch, ex-Mayor
R. A. Cassidy, L. L. Miller, W. w.
Clark, Judge T. j. McCarty. David Zol
lars, ex-Mayor John F. Blake
The First Methodist church, in which
the services are to be held, is the one
in which Mother Mckinley worshiped
during her residence in Canton and in
which she was found almost every
Sunday morning, only serious indispo-
sition or important circumstances keep
ing her away. Three weeks ago today
she was in her pew as usual, and,
though she was nearly eighty-nine
years of age, her attendance had been
regular all the while. This is also the
congregation with which the president
has always been associated 1t was
in this church that he was superin-
tendent of the Sunday school thirty
years ago, and here that ne always at
tended services when in Canton, usual
ly going with his mother. They last
attended together last September when
the president was here during his sum-
mer vacation. The president is mem
Der of the board of trustees of the
church.
At daylight this morning, at the sug-
gestion of some of the older members
of the congregation that an old-time
custom, now almost obsolete, be observ-
ed to publicly announce the death, the
bell in the tower of the church slowly
tolled off the years of her age
1t is coincidence that Mrs McKin-
ley died at almost the identical hour
of the dav as did her husband on
Thanksgiving five years ago. Presi-
dent Mckinley remained up until
about $3.50 o'clock, little more than
all hour after the death, and then re-
tired for a few hours sleep. During
the afternoon his brother spent the
greater part of an hour walking about
the more secluded streets near home,

Drowned the Fire Out.

CHICAGO Dec. PA fire originating in
the basement of the six-story building at
Nos. 106-1l2 Wabash avenue today caused
loss of over $4,000. The flames started in
the boiler room and spread rapidly through
the cellar filled with rubbish, which gave
out a dense smoke. So stubborn was the
blaze that il finally became necessary to
flood the lower portion of the building. The
first floor, which was occupied by the E.
Fl. Sargent Drug company, was partially de-
stroyed. This firm suffered a loss of S27, coo.
Losses to other tenants and damage to the
building bring the total UP to $4,000, fully
insured. Thousands of Sunday sightseers
blocked Wabash avenue and the elevated loop
structure, causing the police much trouble.

ROME. Dec. 12-An official note an
nounces that the Marquis di Rudini,
having so far failed to form cabinet,
visited King Humbert at II o'clock
tonight to ac1uaint his majesty with
the state of affairs.
The late cabinet, headed by the Mar
quis di Rudini, resigned on Sunday
last, following the resignation of Gen.
Pellieux, the minister of war, as
protest against the action Of parlia-
ment in amending, contrary to his ad-
vice, bill dealing with army promo
ton. 1t was well understood, how
ever, that the ulterior reason for the
retirement of the full cabinet was the
belief that such a course was neces-
sary in order to make it possible for
the Marquis di Rudini to eliminate

certain irreconcilable elements and to
secure ministry that would be unani-

The success of Di Rudini has been
prejudiced by the hesitation of the
Marquis Visconti Venosta, minister of
foreign affairs in the late ministry, to
accept the foreign portfolio in the re-
constructed cabinet, which, it had been
understood, would include Sgr Sc
nardelli. In a dispatch from Rome
to the Associated Press on Friday last
1t was asserted that the Marquis di
Rudini had completed the task of re-
constructing the cabinet, Marquis Wis
CONT Venosta having accepted the for
eign Office portfolio, and that the list
of members of the new ministry WOULD
be officially issued on the following
day Saturday.
