IN THE SUBMERGED CARS
Much Valuable Property Found but
Few Bodies.

Garrison, N. Y, Oct. 25.-The gray
dawn "a hours after the frightful hap
pening of yesterday, broke upon a scene
of greater litter and property destruc-
ton than yesterdays sun and last
nights torch light displayed. The wea-
ry gangs of wreckerS were relieved
early this morning by fresh ones and
the work of getting the chains and der
ricks upon the submerged cars was Wig
orously prosecuted AS the wreck
age was pulled from the bottom of the
river and placed on shore it added to
the picturesque though distressing sight.
When the wreckers got sufficient
tackle on the sleeping car Glen Alpine
to drag her up, there was much ex-
citement and speculation as it was be-
lieved that there must surely be some
bodies in the car, the most deeply sub
merged of the lot. When the car had
been placed on the SCOW and the water
had run out of it a searching party
went through and to the relief of the
railroad officials and everybody near,
not a body was discovered. Some Gu
riOuS things were found, however,
which tends to make the escape of the
passengers in the car almost miracu-
lous. Not only were the blankets and
curtains thrown down and jammed in
the front of the car, but the seat bot
toms, which at night served as bed
bottoms, the mattresses and pillows
and every movable thing in the car had
been jammed from side to side and
from end to end of the car in a manner
that would seem to almost preclude the
possibility of any person in the car eS-
Gaping. 1t is believed, however, that all
in this car escaped and there are a full
score of handbags and satchels in the
car so there must have been that num-
Der of passeng ngers.
Some of the people in the vicinity and
the hotel keeper at Garrison say that
they helped dress some of these peo-
pie, but the SuppoSitiOn is that the ma
jority of those who escaped with their
lives and not their baggage were taken
care of by the passengers in the sleep
ers that remained on the track and
when taken to New York city were pro-
vided with clothes by the railroad peO-
pie. In the state-rOom of this car
We're a bride and groom who escaped
with the others.
Just to the rear of the Glen Alpine
was the car Hermes. which in the
plunge left it's truck on the track and
landed on it's bottom in the river but
only in about three feet of water. The
porter of this car, William Patterson,
an intelligent and cool headed man
tells the most graphic story of the
wreck and one which will probably be
found to be the nearest lucid explana-
tion of how so many sleeping people
were miraculOuSly saved from death.
He related the story to Colonel Ashley
w Cole the president of the state rail
way commission, who is making an in
vestigation. He said:
Just before the accident I was aWalS-
ened from a doze by the slowing up of
the train and I got up. thinking we
were nearing Peekskin. I looked out
of the window and just as I did so

Keep HouaehoId Accoupts.

Keeping household accounts is an af-
fair, if not a necessity, still of the great
est wisdom. says an exchange. In com
parison with the small amount of time
and labor which the doing SO employs
the satisfaction of knowing at the end
of each year how the family funds have
gone is the amplest compensation. One
especial satisfaction gained from the
keeping of household accounts is tbs
ability when, or if the necessity arises
to reduce expenditures on the outlay
for luxuries and unnecessaries. The
money spent for food, for medicines
or for fuel is capable of far less reduc-
tion than that used for amusements. for
wages or for clothing, and a system of
accounts which will show at once where
expenses can be lessened is entitled to
respectful consideration.

Debate on the Arbitration treaty.
Messenger Bureau. Park Hotel.

Washington, March 25.-The debate
on the arbitration treaty this afternoon
was Of short duration. Senator Chill
ton spoke for almost an hour on his
amendment to the first article, which
amends tat article SO as to provide
that only such matters sha be sub
mitted to arbitration as the senat hen
in existence may deem roper for ar
bitration. He advocated his amend
ment with a great deal OF warmth and
contended that if, as had been assert
ed, the terms of the treaty were inter-
preted as meaning this, there could be
no good objection raised to the inser-
ton Of words that made that interpre-
tation unmiStakable. 1t was in the in
terest of clearness and should be ac-
cepted as such by all friends OF the
treaty. Without his modification. he
said the United States might in the flu
ture be charged with violating it's
treaty obligations If it refused to sub
NIT certain questions to arbitration
when they arose as matters OF differ
ence between the two countries. He
did not want the United States to be
placed in an embarrassing position Of
this kind and deemed ii the part of
prudence to make the text of the con-
vention SO perfectly plain that there
could be no Q%uibbling over what 1t
means or what the senate had in mind
when the treaty was agreed to. II II
should be agreed to. The debates were
secret and in the future the cold, hard
text Of the treaty would alone be &C
cepted as the expression of what was
intended when the convention was rat
flied and proclaimed to the world.
Senator Morgan again spoke in favor
of the amendment and took the occa-
sion to express his displeasure at any
| proposed treaty with Great Britain
that had for its purpose any general
scheme of arbitration. The whole thing
was a snare and a pitfall, but If there
were sufficient votes in the senate t.
ratify the convention, Senator Morgan
| said, he wanted it made as nearly per
, feet as possible.
Senators Gray, Davis, Hoar and
Lodge interrupted Senator Chiffon viii

| ciusions were erroneous. They also III.
| jected statements in support Of tn
| committee amendments which had
been agreed to as being sufficient L

not desiring to go on today. the senat,
[ came out of executive session and re
| suined consideration Of legislative bus,
