committee which may suggest Spanish re-

VIRGINIA ELECTION.
The Contest for EDpes' Seat Debated
in the House All Day.

The contest 1Of EsQRC0' SCat DcOatcA
In the House All Day.
WASHINGTON. March 22.-The naval
appropriation bill was reported to the
house today. but as 1t has not been printed.
the contested election case Of Thorpe vs.
Eppes. from the Fourth Virginia district,
was taken up and debated until o'clock.
when the house. owing to the Illness Of
Rea Of Kentucky, who was to speak this
afternoon, adjourned until tomorrow. The
case will be disposed OF tomorrow morn
ing.
The prevailing impression Is that Mr.
Eppes, the sitting member will be un-
seated. as. upon the decision in this case
will largely depend the decision OF the two
other vacancies in which practically the
same questions are involved. Mr.. Eppes
had 1921 plurality on the face Of the re-
turns Extensive frauds were charged.
and the members of the committee found
that Mr.. Thorpe should have received S07
plurality, and upon their finding recon-
mended that he be seated.

another horrible accident. indirectly at

which seem to have cost the lives Of
forty passengers and sailors.
Capt. Alexander, Of the Santa Rosa re-
ported that early this morning. while nine
miles Off Point Bonita. at the mouth OF the
Golden Gate, he sighted dereiict bottom
up.
The tug Seawitch was Immediately dis
patched to the point and found the dere-
ict TO be the bark Helen Almy, Capt. Ho-

side. with her stern low down in the water,
her deck hamper broken. and several
planks of her hull washed loose by the
seas which broke over her.
While there were no signs Of boats among
the wreckage. II Is not believed that her
passengers and crew escaped by putting OK
the vessel in them. as there has been a
very heavy sea for several days past. Fur
thermore no signs OF them were seen. The
dereiict was sighted within ten miles Of this
port, and fully forty-eight hours have pass

A COURSE DECIDED UPON.

for Reparation, and the War In
Cuba Will he stopped.

WASHINGTON, March 2e.-The cabinet
meeting today lasted something over aia
hour. and was devoted exclusively to the
Spanish situation in general. and to the
forthcoming report OF the Maine court OF
inquiry. The tone OF the discussion was
very firm and determined that there must
come an end to the present state Of af-
fairs In Cuba Secretary Long authorized

fore the cabine. was that the report would
reach Washington next Thursday or FRI
day: that II was very volumnous, and
that the publication and transmission 70

momentous character required.

Slight Prospect Of Settlement.
CHICAGO. March Cit Is probable that
another meeting of the, transcontinental
lines will be held in the near future for the
purpose of reaching some adjustment OF
the Alaskan rate troubles. The Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific today
announced that they had concluded that IL
was out OF the question TO submit their
part of the fight 10 a COMMITTEES OF arbi-
tration. but in so declaring they expressed
themselves as being willing TO hold another
conference IL 1t could be arranged.
Jus. what will be accomplished by an
other meeting when the roads have de-
clined to submit to arbitration, Is difficult
TO see, but the Canadian Pacific has also
intinated that IL would be willing 10 meet
all the other roads. and IL IN likely that u
second meeting will be held within a
week or ten days. There was nothing said
about the diTerentiais matter, and IL is
understood that the Canadian Pacific will
fight for them to ,se bitter end. and al.
the Same time the other trarEcontinental
roads are determined that the dinerertiais
shall no. be granted. Unless somebody
weakens there is no chance OF an agree

PALMYRA Mouss First.

The first suit under the Johnson railroad
grade crossing measure, passed at the last
session of the Legislature, was instituted
in the Court of Chancery, on Thursday,
when the township committee of Palmyra,
applied to the Court of Chancery for an
order compelling the Pennsylvania rail
road company to maintain safety gates or
a hagman at the Cinnaminson avenue
crossing, Palmyra Under the law gov
erning bodies can apply to the Chancellor,
and after examining into the matter he
can make such order as he thinks proper
The petition of the Palmyra township
committee sets out that the Pennsylvania
railroad runs through the village dis
lance of 6271 feet that all streets crossing
the right of way of said railroad are at
grade that none of said crossings are pro-
tected by gate or flagman. that Cinnamin-
son avenue is the principal street; that
most of the houses in the village are north
the town hail. public school and some of
the larger stores are south of the right of
way; that most of the teams coming into
the village from the surrounding country
come over Cinnaminson avenue; that the
railroad runs frequent passenger trains
over the railroad every day, four of which
are express trains that do not stop at the
station, and a great number Of freight
trains that do not stop.
The petition further alleges that the
view of persons about to cross the tracks
is INSTRUCTED, and that it is necessary for
the security of human life that some pro
lection should be afforded
The Courts action in this case will be
awaited with interest by the railroad com
panies, as it it likely to establish prece
dent which may affect all the railroads of
the state. Grave doubts as to the consti-
nationality of the law have been expressed,
and if decision inimical to the railroad
company's interests is rendered, an appeal
will be taken and the law will be tested.
