Confess to the Wrecking of a Southern
Train-The Alabama Horror May Have
Been Caused by the Same Gang.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan. 6.-Four of
the five Negroes arrested on suspicion
of train wrecking have made a con-
fession. They are Tom Ingram, Tom
Parker, Samuel Billing and Rome
Scales. The fifth, Andrew Feagan,
who is charged by the others with be-
ing the leader, denies all connection
with the crimes.
Birmingham and vicinity has been
terrorized for the last three weeks by
gang of trainwreckers. A rail was
removed from the Cahawba river tres
tie December % and a Birmingham
Mineral train went through the bridge,
killing 26 people and wounding 10
others.
One by one the gang now in Jail has
been run down. All are miners, who
worked at Henry Ellen, two miles from
the scene of the attempted wreck at
McComb's trestle.
Tom Parker, in the confession made,
says that Feagan proposed the wreck
at dance, and said that it would be a
frst-rate scheme by which to get
Christmas money. An agreement was
made between the five men to wreck
and rob the Southern express. A
rail was to be removed from the Nc
Combs trestle, and when the train fell
to the ravine, go feet below, those pas
sengers who had not been killed in the
crash were to be dubbed to death or
shot, and then their bodies and the
train were to be robbed.
The others weakened and Parker
undertook it. Parker says the two
men waited by camp fire in the ra-
vine below for the train to arrive 1t
came, but, to their surprise, after
being derailed was halted on the tres.
tie and no wreck resulted. Parker and
Feagan fled and joined their pals, and,
it is said, were about to kill the latter

was eXDOSed

every one who does his duty. he is
illuminated by the Cubans."

BOSTON, Jan. 6.-Franc1S AmaSa
Walker, the second son of Amasa
Walker LII D., one of Americas most
distinguished writer's on subjects re-
lating to political economy and science,
died Tuesday morning of apoplexy.
He was born in Boston, July 21, 1910.
He served throughout the war of the
rebellion with distinction and in 1871
was appointed by the president as In
dian commissioner and served in that
position until 1872, when he was elect
ed professor of political economy and
history in Sheffield scientific school at
Yale.
In 1879 he organized the tenth CEN
sus, and although he resigned the SUI
perintendency of the census in 1881 to
become president of the Institute of
Technology, it was under an agree

Took No Action on the Cuban Resoiu-
tions-It is Believed the Matter is Dead
rs Far as the Senate is Concerned.
; WASHINGTON, Jan. IF anyone
doubted the collapse of the Cameron
resolution to recognize the independ-
ence of Cuba, the action or rather nom
action of the senate committee on for
eign relations Wednesday morning
settled the question and put the final
nail in it's coffin. The Cuban ques-
ton, SO far as action goes, is
dead in the senate, and indeed in
congress. Senator Cameron seems
to have deserted his resolution,
for he still remains on his island off
the South Carolina coast and has left
it to its fate. The foreign relations
committee met for its regular week
ly meeting Wednesday and the mem
bers expressed surprise at the alb
sence of Mr.. Cameron, but it was
some what a relief to the majority, for
it let them kill the resolution without
going on record. The meeting We'd
nesday was with the express under
standing that the policy regarding the
resolution should be settled The
members were satisfied that the reso-
luton could not pass, but they did not
want to decide by vote until Cameron
could be heard, therefore the surprise
at the Pennsylvania senator's absence.
The committee informally discussed
the situation and accepting Cameron's
absence as an abandonment of the
field, the committee decided that the
best thing to do was to let the resolu-
ton remain Enacted upon.
After the meeting was over Senator
! Sherman, who seems to have changed
his mind again, said: There is an OPP
position to the Cameron resolution in
the senate now which was not mani
! tested in the committee of foreign re-
/ lations at the time the resolution was
reported Several o: US were not con-
! vinced that it was exactly the proper
/ thing to report the resolution, but we
! decided for the time to make no OPP
position to a favorable report, mas
much as the majority Of the committee
wanted to report favorably, but l don't
hesitate to say now that / would vote
against the resolution if proposed in
the senate. There are members of our
! committee who consented for the reso-
! luton to be reported who feel as l do. y

In the senate Wednesday an adverse
report from the committee on foreign
relations on the claim of John S. Wal
Ter, United States consul at Madagas-
car, for damages by reason of his ar
rest and imprisonment, was presented

after the conference that he was not a

and it was learned Wednesday night
that this determination was reached
some days ago and that Maj. Mckinley
learned of it through friends.
The president-elect and Mr.. Allison
discussed cabinet possibilities from
Iowa and other states and talked over
the whole political situation. The i'm
preston prevails here that Senator
Sherman is likely to be secretary OF

to have this opinion, spoke of him in
high terms, declaring that he would
