NEW RAILROAD SYSTEM.
Great Northern VIII Soon Have an
Outlet to Gulf, With Through
Line From Seattle.

CHICAGO. Dec. 26.-The Times-Herald
tomorrow will say:
Paul Morton, third vice president of the
Santa Fe railway, may be asked to accept
lied Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf His
name was seriously considered at a meet
ing of the executive committee lasting
from carly afternoon until nearly mid
night, and plans were discussed which, il
carried out in their entirety, will result In
from the Atlantic to the Pacific seaboards
and to the Gulf Of Mexico on the south
The proposed transcontinental system
necessitates a combination between the
Hartman syndicate and James j. Hill
A man who is in the confidence of the
men who are engineering the deal explain
ed 1t as follows:
las soon as the reorganization of the
Gulf road and It's associated properties is
completely effected, there will undoubtedly
be combination with the system con-
trolled by James J. Hill. BY the Port Ar
thur route the Gulf road people will have
lines running from st. Louis to Kansas
City. and from Kansas City south to the
Gulf. Hill controls the Great Northern,
which runs west to the Coast, the Balti-
more & Ohio and consequently the Balti-
more and Southwestern.
1.-THE plan Is to have Hill come into Oma-
ha with the Great Northern and make con-
which In turn connects with the Gulf road
at Kansas City, thus giving a complete
line from the Gulf to the Pacific coast
Coming east, the combination would have
the Omaha & st. Louis road, and at the
latter point the Hill system would again

Louis to Cincinnati, and there connect with
the Baltimore & Ohio, which would take
them east to the Atlantic coast"

ATTEMPT AT RESCUE FAILS.
bark Founders in Sight of q Steam
err and All Are Lost.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ga special to
the Post from Norfolk Va. says:
The big Johnston line steamer Noaran-
more arrived this afternoon, light, from
Liverpool, after one of the most tenn
pestuous passages on record. Capt.
having seen an unknown bark founder at
sea with her crew of twelve men. The
Noaranmore, which flies the Belgian flag,
Is of $3.50 tons register. She sailed from
Liverpool for Norfolk December II, and
being a week overdue her agents were
anxious about her.
The hurricane which swept this coast
The waves rolled over her almost con-
tinuously and would, Capt. Richardson
says, have swamped an ordinary ship.
Soon after the storm arose the Noaran-
more overhauled a strange bark which
was on the point of laundering. Only
the stump of one mast still stood, the
others having been cut or carried away.
and twelve men, believed from their
gestures, to be foreigners, were seen run
ming about her decks, which were awash,
A boats crew in one OF the Noaran-
more's boats was put oyer the side and
the men pulled for the bark. The boat
swamped almost Immediately. The men,
who wore life Jackets We're picked up by
a second boat, which was, however, COM
PEELED to return to the Noaranmore.
While the rescue Of these men was
being effected the bark disappeared in
the darkness. and Capt. Richardson says
that beyond doubt she and her crew went
down. Search made after daybreak re-
veaied no sign OF her. The Noaran-
more's steel bow was stove In and two
blades of her propeller were lost, but She
managed to make this port without the
loss Of a man.

MORE BODIES RECOVERED.
Twenty-Three Already Discovered
in the Depths Of the Brax-
nell Mine.

BROWNSVILLE. Pa, Dec 2s-With
sightless eyes peering into the dark depths
below. the corpse of Andrew Forber hung
for three days and nights from a beam
half way up the mine shaft of the Braz-
nell mine. The body was fifty feet above
the level of the mine, whence 1t had been
blown by the force of the explosion. Since
the accident occurred living and dead men
had been almost constantly passing with
in few feet of the corpse. The accident
wrecked both cages. One was hastily re-
paired and operated on one side of the
shaft. On the other side, within reaching
distance of the cage in use, hung Forbes
body, but owing to the darkness in the
shaft 1t was not found until today.
Two other bodies, or rather pieces, were
found this afternoon. They were located
deep among the debris and were worse
mangled than any yet found. The heads
and trunks were together, but the arms,
hands, legs and feet We're picked UP here
and there and placed in the same box.
They were foreigners and 1t was impossi-
BILE to Identify them. One of the rescue
party said that much of the bodies stu
remained In the mine and he shoveied up
a great pile of fragments Of flesh ana
clothing which 1t was useless to brig
from the mine. With these three bodies
recovered the number OF dead IS Increased
to twenty-three.

GERMAN SUGAR APPROPRIATIONS.



BERLIN, Dec 26-Dr. Pasche, leader OF
the National Liberals in the reichstag. has
just returned from four months trip in
the United States, Cuba and the other West
Indies. The trip was undertaken for the
united German sugar interests the object
of DR.. Pasche being to study thoroughly
what prospects cane sugar had in regions
through which he passed, Of competing suc-
cessfully with German beet sugar under the
existing American tariff.
In the course of an interview today, he
expressed the opinion that German sugar
would be driven out of the United States
market within three years unless the Unit
ed States grants better terms than the
present tariff. He will fully discuss the mat
ter in the reichstag and will publish
book on the subject.
DIR. Pasche, who says ne greatly enjoyed
his experience in the western world speaks
enthusiastically of the phenomenal pros
perity everywhere apparent in the United
States" He believes a way will be found
to effect a commercial treaty with the
United States which will be beneficial to
both countries. 1t is asserted in official
quarters that the new tax rate on accum-
ulated capital in Prussia shows an increase
of five milliards.
Armored trains will hereafter be regular
feature of German war equipment. Extern
sive experiments have been made on the
military railroad from Schoenherg to I'm
ersdrof. Various types of plated trains
1t has been found that light armored
train with an armored car before the en-
CINE. In which machine gun Is placed and
adjustable for firing In three directions is
the most available type. These cars are
open at the top.

II believe that every people have a right

The American people will rise up as one

next Democratic convention will reaffirm

clare in favor of establishing freedom ev-

Is that II IL our duty to restore order there

PANDEM0NIUM IN THE SENATE.
Prisoners ON Trial Constantly In
terrupt the Proceedings.


PARIS, Dec 26.--The public prosecutor
this afternoon began his speech before
the high court in the conspiracy. cases:
showed that the conspiracy was more
dangerous than when the Comte de
Paris so forgot the traditions of his fam
lily as to join hands with Gen. Boulan-
GER
This evoked noisy protests from the
audience, and the accused, Jules Guerfn,
called upon the president of the court
not to permit the prosecutor to. indulge
in such insulting remarks" but the
men who conspired ten years ago had
again plotted to overthrow the republic.
The Comte de Paris, he added, was dead,
but the DUO d'Orleans occupies the same
position. The remarks of the prosecutor
were soon drowned by the vehement In
terruption OF the prisoners.
M. Fallieres for a time rang his bell
to restore order, and eventually the prose-
cutor was heard to declare that he had
abandon the prosecution of six of the
prisoners. Chevielly. Frenchencourt, Bru-
net, Cailly, Bourmontan and Ballirie.
He then recapitulated the story OF the
anti-republican Vaccinations of the Duo
dOrleans and his agent, M. Buffet The
latter violently protested and an uproar
ensued, many of the senators demanding
M. Buffet's expulsion. Three of the pris-
oners, Cailly. Brunei and Jules Guerin.
Buffet was expelled from the sessions
they also wished to be expelled. Per-
feet pandemonium resulted.
Finally the court, in secret session,
decided to expel NJ. Buffet and Cailly UNI
til their counsel's speech for the defense.

HANDWRITING EXPERTS.
witnesses for the state Making Ont
= strong Case Against
NfOlfneuY.

NEW YORK. Dec 26.-Handwriting ex-
perts again occupied the time OF Recorder
Con- and the Jury in the trial OF Roland
b. Molineux for the poisoning OF MRS.
Katherine J. Adams nearly one year age.
The first witness for the state called TO-
day was Henry L.. Tolman, the handwrit
ing expert from Chicago, who was on
the stand at the close Of last fridays ses-
sion. For half an hour ne talked OF
handwriting technicalities and then went
to the blackboard for the purpose OF u.
Illustrating what he called a blind leap"
! characteristic which he claimed was
found in all of the DEFENDANTS handwrft-
ings. admitted as well as disguised.
Recorder Con finally grew impatient at
the long drawn out testimony and told the
district attorney that he did not see the
necessity Of having the witness go
through al OF the exhibits. To this the
district attorney assented and the evil
dence Of the witness was accordingly cut
a. short AZ possible.
FOR almost the first time It was noticed
this morning that the expert testimony OF
the witnesses seemed to tire he jurymen
Heretofore they have been alert ana III
terested, have even asked questions at
times that demonstrated they had close
" followed the arguments OF the hand
writing experts, but this morning they
9axed listIessly about the court room ana
at times glanced at the clock.
At noon the direct examination OF
Mr.. Tolman was finished and his cross
examination was commenced. The cross
examination failed completely to shake
the belief Of the witness that Roland B.
MoIineux wrote the address on the poison
package.
Daniel T. Ames, OF San Francisco. tcsti-
fed that he had been student Of hand
writing for forty years; that he had test.
ned In the Garfield Moray letter case. the
Fair will case and the Botkin poisoning
case in San Francisco, case like this,
In which poison was sent through the
mails The witness detailed the methods
which he had employed in the examine
ton OF the handwriting or the defendant
and he then entered into an account OF
the various methods employed by persons
anxious to disguise their handwriting.
Foreman Martin asked the witness what
prominence he gave to the question OF
pictorial effect, and In reply the witness
said that pictorial effect was not the most
important point to be considered. Pic
toriai effect, he said, lies largely in the
slant and he claimed that the slant did
not materially change the character Of a
persons writing.
At o'clock, with Expert Ames still on
the stand. court adjourned until tomor-
