FIVE MEN KILLED.
Terrible Accident on Consolidated Road
Near Norwalk.

South Norwalk, Conn, January 27-
A section gang of FIVE were killed ON th e
Consolidated road at Fast Norwalk at
2.07 this afternoon by a west.bound
freight. The men were standing on the
west bound outside track, between Fort
Point bridge and East Norwalk station.
The outside track is used for passenger
service.
The men stepped aside to avoid the
west bound passenger train. The smoke
and steam from the passenger train en-
veloped the men and obscursd the ap-
preaching freight train on the next
track, and the noise of the passenger
train drowned the whistle of the freight
engine.
Engineer Field of the freight train
lives within 80 feet of where the acci-
dent occurred, and it has been bis custom
to whistle a greeting to his family AS
lie goes by. This custom he followed to-
day. The men killed were horrib bly,
mutilated. -Four of them leave families.

CABINET PROBLEM sIMPLIFIEp.
Mr.. Gage Has Been Summoned to Canton
and Will Have Treasury Portfolio.

Canton, Ohio. January s7.-The COM
plex political programme surrounding
the selection Of Major Mckinley e
Cabinet, is now believed practically
solved. Lyman j. Gage of Chicago, as
Secretary of the Treasury is regarded as
the key Of the situation, and the almost
certain choice Of the President-eleot.
This moral certainty is strengthened by
the fact that the President of the First
National bank Of Chicago is now ON his
way to Canton. Chairman Hanna was
engaged for several hours today in secret
conference with Major Mckinley.
1t is now believed that Mr.. Cages ap-
pointment will be decided this week. The
other portfolios can be easily disposed of
excepting that to be given New York.
The impression prevails that Gen. Wood
ford has the best chance of appointment.
Gov. Bushnell has received leuter from
Mr.. Sherman stating that he will not re-
sign his seat in the Senate until he is
confirmed.

Senate Considering the Treaty.

Washington, January 27.-The Senate
com mittee on foreign relations today,
considered the general treaty of arbitrA-
tion between this country and Great
Britain without reaching conclusion.
The general drift of the discussion
indicated that the instrument must be
amended SO as to eliminate any possible
inclusion of questions concerning the
domestic or foreign policy of either of
the contracting parties 1t is believed by
some members of the committee that O
conclusion will be reached at special
meeting on Saturday and that tie treaty
will be reported to the Senate Monday.

Washington, January 27.-The United
States naval attache at London. COM
mander Cowles, sends the following to
the navy department, dated January 10
"The British admiralty has given ID
structions for the Hotspur, coast de-
tense ship, and the Monarch ttnird-
class battleship) to be commissioned at
an early date for service in Bermuda.
In receipt of this information, Com
mander Wainwright, the chief lntelil-
gencs officer, reported to Secretary her
bert: '.As there are at present no ar
mour clads in the British North Ameri-
can West Indian squadron, this indi-
Gates considerable inoreaselof strength
In North American waters.
Under ordinary circumstances these
reports would lead to an inquiry from
Secretary Olney, addressed to the Brit
ish government, as to the reason Tor such
an order, but is cannot be learned
whether suon action has been taken.
The strategical Importance OF the
Bermuda Notifications can be best ap-
preoiated by the statement that they are
the centre of 700-mile CIRCLE which in
cludes the North American coast line
from Maine to Florida.

Senate VIII Insist ON Some Amendments
to Arbitration Treaty.
Washington, January 27.-While it is
believed that the arbitration treaty may
be made satisfactory by one or two
amendments, each member Of the Sen
ate foreign relations committee has his
own idea as to the exact language to be
employed in SO doing. Ardent friends
of the Nioaraguan canal insist that the
question be lifted bodily from the
treaty. The fear that Great Britain may
not only be seeking chance to interfere
with our foreign policy. but also in
our domestic affairs, leads others to urge
an amendment providing that no ques-
tions affecting either the domestic or
foreign policy of the contracting parties
shall be brought within ths provision
of the general treaty. This, it Is contend
ed will guard the Monore doctrine with
out referring to 1t in name.
The designation In the treaty of the
King of Norway and Sweden as umpire
is causing the committee much concern.
In looking up the diplomatic history of
the northern country, the committee
has discovered that a compact exists be-
tween Great Britain and France ON the
one hand, and Sweden and Norway on
the other, in which the two great pow
ers agreed to stand by the weaker ma
tion.
The designation of King Oscar will In
all probability be eliminated, and an
amendment reported requiring the selec-
tion of an American umpire for Ameri-
can questions and European one when
the matters in dispute relate to affairs
in the eastern hemisphere.
1t il understood that when the report
Ia made to the Senate motion will be
made to discuss 10 In open session.
