PECULIAR
Was the Exposing Which Blew an
Engine to Atoms, at Chicago, Yes
acknowledgement and Fireman
Both Killed. \

Chicago, March 21.-The boiler OF th'
locomotive which was hauling I'M
Chicago and Boston special on I'M
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern rail-
| road blew up this morning, instantly
killing the engineer and fireman, anc
completely demolishing the engine.
The dead are: Alexander Franks, en-
| gineer. of Chicago, and Edward d
Smith. fireman, Of Chicago.
The engineer was hurled 200 feet into
the air. through a network OF telegraph
wires that were stretched along the
tracks and had his right leg torn on
The fireman was thrown against cat
tie car and instantly killed. Almost
every bone in his body was broken
Almost every bone in his body was
broken. -
None of the remainder of the crew
nor any of the passengers were IN
jured.
The train to which the engine was
attached is one of the fastest on the
Lake Shore road, and leaves the van
Buren, street depot at 1920 o'clock
in the morning. The accident occurred
about II o'clock, as the train had Just
pulled out from the EngleWood de-
pot. and was running at the rate Oh
twenty miles an hour.
A peculiar feature of the explosion
was the fact that although the report
was so loud it was heard by residents
half a mile away and the force so great
that the engine was literally blown to
atoms, none of the passengers IN the
rear part of the train heard the report
and were not aware that anything I'M
usual had happened until they looked
out after the train had come to a
sudden stop. The train dashed along
about $50 feet after the explosion took
place. and although the stop was quite
sudden, none of the passengers were
thrown from their seats, and not one
of the coaches was damaged by either
the explosion or the sudden stop.
The force of the explosion was APP
parently directly upward and outward,
as parts of the engine were thrown
into the air one hundred feet, and huge
pieces of the boiler, weighing several
tons, were tossed over the telegraph
wires into a swamp, distance OF two
hundred and fifty feet while the bag
gage car directly behind the engine
was not damaged in any way.
1t is not known just what caused the
explosion, and the officials of the road
say that it will not be determined until
what remains of the engine is taken
apart and examined. 1t was thought
at first that there was no water in the
boiler. but this theory was abandoned
as it was an outgoing train and the
engine had just been taken from the
round-house a short time before the
explosion. 1t was rumOred that the
boiler of the engine was defective in
some respects, but this was denied by
the officials of the road. The latter say
the locomotive was in good condition
in every respect, had been in service
about three years and was considered
one of the fastest engines on the road.
The train that it was pulling is known
as No 10, and is a through train from
Chicago to Boston.

TIE NICARAGUA CANAL.

In one of his home newspapers Judge
Daniel B. Lucas has some pungent
criticisms to make regarding the divis-
ion of sentiment in this State with re-
gard to the ACCESSIBILITY of construct
ing the Nicaragua Canal. "The very
same class of objections says Judge
Lucas, now urged against the con-
struction of this great work was urged
against the purchase of Louisiana; and
the very same class of DIRECTORS who
opposed that acquisition are now ar
ranging themselves against the Mica
ragua Canal. Who constitute this
class? l answer boldly and frankly
British sympathizers in America" And
he adds:
We have to-day in this country. as we
have always had. a British party. They
have controlled absolutely our financial
system up to date. and unfortunately there
seems no prospect of q change under the
administration of Mr.. Mckinley.
Few people understand how thoroughly
this British party is dominating or at
tempting to dominate or thwart the policy
of the United States in Central America.
If any one has curiosity upon this ques-
ton let them recur to Ford tropical
America published in 1895, and he Will
find the unbiased testimony Of an actual
observer and eyewitness as 10 the COM
bined Vaccination of England and Ger
many against the commercial interests OF
the United States in Central America.
The purchase of Louisiana gave us con-
troll of the Mississippi and the Gulf of
Mexico. 1t subjected TO our sway the per-
petual flow Of the Father of Rivers I'M
YeXed 20 the SER.
Suppose W. haa listened TO the objection
of the British party. namely FIRST II
would neCessitatc a public debt; second. IT
was unconstitutional; third. II endangered
the public peace.
These arguments. all used by the Brit
iSh party. aid not for a moment deter Mr..
jefferson from concluding the purchase OF
Louisiana. Why? Because. as he said.
the opportunity would never occur again.
Suppose Mr.. Jefferson had listened to the
Boston Globe, the New York Advertiser,
or the Baltimore Sun of that day, where
The imperial domain of the Mississippi
Valley. embracing eleven States OF the
Union, would belong 10 Franc, Florida
to SPAIN Texas 20 an Anglo-French pro-
fornia TO Mexico.
Judge Lucas thinks the Nicaragua
Canal project furnishes a parallel case
As he tersely puts it, Nicaragua has
made certain concessions which she
cannot retract, and the question is.
shall We accept and build the canal?
If we fail to do so the opportunity will
have slipped from us forever. Great
Britain will have again asserted her
supremacy as the commercial mistress
of the world. And the United States.
in spite Of the boosted Monroe doctrine,
will be subordinated and take rank as
an inferior second-class power uuon
the American continent"
