Leaving It to the Senate to Determine
Whether He Will be Seated.
Daring Burglary Committed at Salinas
The Lower House of Washing
toms Legislature Unanimously
Passes Bill Prohibiting the Wear
ing of Large Hats i'm a Theater.

SALEM, March Ex-Governor Lord
was asked to-day whether he intended
to appoint a United States Senator,
and, if so, whether he thought his ap-
pointee would be seated. He said:
Il shall appoint a Senator, but whe-
ther or not he will be seated, l cannot
say. The decisions are conflicting, and
the result would depend somewhat on
the temper of the Senate. There has
been no case decided by the Senate that
is parallel with the Oregon case. 1t is
only by some sort of spacious analogy
that the facts in the Oregon case can
be brought within the principle recently
declared by the Senate. 1 understand
that the latest ruling of the Senate is
to the effect that where the Legislature
fails to elect a Senator during its ses-
sion, the power of the Governor to ap-
point is denied. To my mind the vacancy
in the Senate caused by reason of the
failure of a Legislature to organize and
become a competent body to elect Sem
atOr is very different matter from the
failure of duly organized body to
choose a Senator.
4 do not know at what time, or if at
any time, I shall convene a special ses-
sion of the Legislature. The fact that
I shall appoint a Senator indicates that
/ have no present intention of calling
the Legislature together, at least for
some time. Recent occurrences indi
cate too many cross purposes to hope for
cooperation among the members to Sc
cure needed legislation

President of the First National Bank of

very seriously and two painfully, but
not dangerous.

A WOMAN SWINDLED.
A Case Which Judge Coffey Will
Cause to be Investigated.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 5.-Mrs.
Catherine Donovan recently came to
this city from Boston, believing that
she and her son were heirs to a SILL
600 estate said to have been left by
John Donovan, who died here last
March. Her trip was at the instance

ENDEAVORER CONVENTION.
Railroad Lines Discuss the Question
of Dividing Business.

CHICAGO, March 5.-The Transcon-
tinental and Western lines had meet
ing to-day regarding arrangements for
the meeting of the Young Peoples So
ciety of Christian Endeavorers at San
Francisco next July. The interested
roads have already agreed to pool the
business, and have left to the Chair
man the decision of how the business is
to be divided. He desired to have an
expression of opinion from the roads
before announcing his decision, and so
called hearing to-day.
1t has developed that the going rate
will be merely nominal, and so none
of the roads care to have much of the
going business. Each of them wants
the lions share of the business return
ing. The rate agreed upon for the oc-
casion Is S51 for the round trip between
Chicago and San Francisco.

SENATOR WOLCOTT.
Says He Was rlisquoted in Pub
Iished Interview.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Wolcott of Colorado returned to Wash
ington to-day after a long absence
abroad. The Senator stated that in the
interview published this morning he was
quoted as saying things that he had
never spoken of. He says that neither
in Europe nor in the United States has
he mentioned the names of persons
whom he consulted with while abroad,
nor has he at any time repeated or in
dicated what persons said to him. Mr..
Wolcitt expressed regret that the pub
lication had been made, as it placed
him in false light before the people in
Europe, and would require a statement
that he had not quoted them. Mr.. VOL
colt states that he has been careful not
to mention names of the persons he
had seen while on his mission abroad.
In other respects he was correctly re-
ported.

ST. LOUIS, March j.-One man was
killed and his body cremated, another
fatally burned and a third badly in
jured in a wreck which occurred at
Benefits Mill, loo miles west of St
Louis, on the Missouri Pacific Railroad
at { o'clock to night.
The dead: w. ". Rosenberger, mail
| clerk, Bloomington, H., SINGLE body
consumed.
The injured: Edward Lusman, aged
engineer, st. Louis, ribs broken and
2S, fireman, St Louis, pinned under the
tender body crushed and cooked from
waist down, will die: Frank LAUDER,
head hurt, will recover.
The wrecked train was No (. east
bound. Following the engine was a
mail car, baggage car, four coaches
and three sleepers
Near BENEFITS Mill the train was
running forty miles an hour on a down
grade, when the engineer saw appar-
emily the whole hillside, 100 yards
ahead, slide into the track He threw
on the air and reversed and attempted
to jump. The engine, tender and mail
and baggage cars We're telescoped.
Fireman Lusman was caught beneath
the tender, but the engineer was
thrown high in the air and broke his
ribs by falling on the wrecked cars.
The rest of the train was Jared off
the track, but not a passenger was
hurt or even badly shaken up
Almost before the passengers We're out
of the coaches the mail car was on fire
The body of the mail clerk could be seen:
but all attempts to save him failed All
but a few pieces of mail We're burned.
The baggage car was blazing furiously,
and beneath it all, shielded, yet pinned
by the tender, was Lusman, the fireman
Scalding water was pouring over his
legs, and the fire was growing at his
back. He begged the wounded engineer
to shoot him, tried to reach his own
knife, and implored those who stood
around to cut his throat and put him out
of his misery.
Just then a work train which had
been sidetracked by the express ran up
behind the wreck. Under the direction
of Conductor Foraker, bucket line was
formed, and with all the male passengers
helping, water was carried from the
Missouri River to the fire. Coats We're
thrown over the fireman to protect him
from the steam while the men of the
wrecking train tried to extricate him.
Finally they got him out, practically
dead.
Traffic on the road will be delayed for
fifteen hours.
