ON ITS LAST LEGS.

Passenger Pool Between St. Paul and
Chicago Likely to Go to Pieces.
CHICAGO, March 1.-THE Tribune
says: The Chicago-St. Paul passenger
pool is on its last legs. 1t was organ
lied two years ago for the purpose of
securing an equitable division of the
passenger traffic between Chicago and
St. Paul and Minneapolis, but no divi-
sion of business has been made since
the pool was organized, and COMPETE
ton has been as active as before. The
strong lines have carried the bulk of
the traffic at the expense of the weak
lines. Threats to withdraw from the
pool by the lines which failed to carry
the percentage allotted to them, caused
meeting of passenger officials of in
terested roads to be held at Chairman
Caldwells Office to settle existing diff
ferences.
The strong lines expressed a willing
ness to turn business over to the lines
which were short but the Chicago
Great Western emphatically refused
to give up business it had already con-
tracted for to other roads. AS result
it is understood several of the weak
lines will give notice of withdrawal
from the pool in few days.

DEMURRER SUSTAINED.

South Dakota Prohibitionists Defeated in
Decision.
PIERRE, S. D., March 17.-Judge
Gaffy has sustained the demurrer set
up to the answer made by the Prohibi-
tionists in their effort to test the legal
ity of the repeal of the prohibitory arti-
Gle of the constitution. The answer to
which the demurrer was sustained set
up that article "a is yet part of the
constitution, and liquor sold cannot be
collected for; that the question of re-
peal was not correctly submitted by
the legislature; that it was not cor
rectly placed on the ballot, and that
10000 voters did not express themselves
on the question. The demurrer states
none of the answer is sufficient defense
against the collection of a liquor bill,
and this is sustained. This leaves the
Prohibitionists no nearer settlement
of the legality of the manner of repeal
of the prohibitofy question than they
were before they attempted to get at it
in the defense of liquor bill suit.

TREATY WITH NICARAGUA.

secretary Sherman ConfsPs With the asn.
ate Committse ON the Subject.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-Secretary
of State Sherman met the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations by his own
appointment and was closeted with
them for some time. The principal
subject under discussion is understood
to be the treaty with Nicaragua. Sec
rotary Sherman has under considera.
ton the negotiating of another treaty
such as was negotiated by Secretary
Frelinghuysen, which was withdrawn
at the beginning of Mr.. Cleveland's
first administration. Secretary Sher-
man, when discussing the Rodriguez
letter against the old Nicaraguan bill,
indicated his desire to negotiate q
treaty on the old lines, and supported
the stand taken in the letter. The
probabilities are thaTx new position
is taken on the canal question it will
be on the lines of the Frelinghuysen
agreement. Secretary Sherman's long
connection with the senate led him to
consult the senate before any definite
terms of agreement were made.

Spanish Convoy OF Six Cars
Wrecked by Dynamite
of Insurgents.
Two Hundred and Fifty OF
Those on Board Killed
or Injured.
Reported at Havana That Gen.
eral Gomez Is Badly
Wounded.

NEW YORK, March ia Havana
special to The World says: Through
Cubans here it is learned that train
carrying Spanish troops was blown up
by dynamite while passing over deep
gorge south of Candelaria, Pinar del
Rio province, and that nearly $50 SOL
diers were killed or injured. The To-
connective and six cars were demol-
ished. The tragedy occurred about the
10th. The Spanish General Arial had
learned of proposed |insurgent attack,
supposedly on San Cristobal, and he
sent off 500 troops in armored cars to
reinforce the garrison there. About 10
miles from San Cristobal, the road
crosses a deep gorge on very high
bridge about 500 feet long. The insur-
gents, learning of the departure of the
train, lined the bridge at the ends and
the center with
Heavy Charges of Dynamite,
connecting the explosive by wires with
a battery in the woods some distance
off. Three hundred insurgents lay in
ambush near by. The train ap-
preached the bridge about o'clock in
the morning. When fully on it all
three charges were exploded by the
wires. The engine end cars flew into
the air like so many chips asi fell into
the deep gorge below, crushing dead
and injured alike. There the wreck
age caught fire. As soon as the ex-
plosion occurred the insurgents dashed
from their ambuscade with wild cries
and began a massacre. But for the
timely hosting of a white flag by
Colonel Mores, who was in command
of the Spanish forces, every man
would have been macheted. As it was
the Cubans
Secured Three Hundred Prisoners,
including the officers. The private SOL
diers, after being Invested of their uni
forms, were released and sent to San
as hostages for % insurgents who are
held at Artemisa, and threatened with
death.
The Spaniards here admit the dyna-
hitting of the train but claim that the
details are exaggerated.
General Aranguren raided two towns
in the southwestern part of Havana
province Friday and Saturday and
looted the stores and destroyed one
Spanish block fort.
Word comes from Santa Clara of two
fierce engagements on Thursday and
Friday in which the Spaniards lost
heavily.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 1.-THE
change in che food situation in the past
"a hours has been decidedly for the
worst in every respect. Localities that
were expected up to the last moment
to withstand the overflow are at last
under water. People who thought
they were safe from the angry river
find themselves hemmed in and their
danger is Ole greater because of the
confidence that prevented them from
providing against it.
From every direction come reports of
unexpected and unprecedented disas-
ter. At Marion and the adjacent
country 400 persons are reported to be
lined up on the railroad track over
which occasional waves sweep that
threaten to carry off the desperate PEG.
ple Along the other railroads leading
out of this city into Arkansas similar
condition of affairs exists. From
Island Forty comes reports that the
water is everywhere, that human be-
ings and dumb brutes are huddled to-

Hundreds of Refugees.
Nearly 1000 people have been
brought to this city already from the
overfowed country. Only few of
these are white and all such have been
able to take care of themselves upon
arrival as well as to extend a hand to
the negroes who come in their train.
The citizens relief committee have
found places to house the refugees and
food is furnished them also from time
so time.
Many rumors of wholesale drowning
are current. but these cannot be veri-
fed. A well defined report reaches
here that five colored people had per-
ished near Marion and colored man
and child are known to have been
drowned at West Memphis. The con-
ditions are undoubtedly such that
there will be innumerable fatalities be-
fore long unless the helpless ones are
relieved Intense interest in the floods
animates everybody in the city. This
is evidenced by the great throngs that
gather on the levee.

Immense Purchases of Sugar for Imme-
diate Shipment.
BOSTON. March 1.-THE wholesale
sugar market in this city has entered
upon an interesting phase. In antici-
patton of the new tariff bill, which is
expected to go into effect on May 1,
imposing duty of 1 cent and upwards
per pound on all sugars imported into
the United States, the sugar importers
are actively engaged in buying up all
available sugar, both in the markets Of
Germany and Cuba, for prompt ship
ment to this country in an effort to get
the commodity into the market with
out paying to the government the new
tax.
The valuation of sugar on the way
and booked for shipment to Boston
alone will reach into the millions, and
the money saved on duty, provided the
sugar reaches here before the new tar
if goes into effect, will be enormous.
