Several Persons Reported Killed and
n Large Number Injured.
Houston, Texas, May 23-One Of the
worst tornadoes that has visited Texas
since the storm which destroyed the
town Of Cisco, three years ago. and in
which some so people were killed.
passed over Titus and Erath counties
Sunday. Several homes and church
buildings were wrecked in several To-
calities. At Mount Pleasant, Titus coun-
ty, the storm struck church Just as
services we're closing. A bolt Of light
ming and the wind descended upon the
house simultaneously, wrecking 1t and
scattering the debris in all directions.
William Kaufman was instantly
killed and some Is other persons were
injured. some fatally. Three are in a
dying condition. The tornado struck
Stephensville and did considerable
damage, wrecking many houses. but
no one was killed. Two churches were
unroofed and badly damaged. One
man was killed and three were in
jured near Dublin. II is reported that
several persons were killed six miles
southeast of Stephensville. but this has
not yet been confirmed. Trees and
crops in the path Of the storm are re-
ported to be totally destroyed.

NO BIG STEEL TRUST.

The Talked or Billion Dollar Com binc
Not Perfected.
New York. May 23.-Leading men In
the steel and iron trade said today that
the incorporation Of the new Carnegie
iron and steel combination under the
lawsof Pennsylvania means the failure
Of the contemplated big iron and steel
trust, which was to include the Fed
eral Steel company, with joint capital
of nearly $1,000, 900, 900. This opinion
was considered as corroborated by the
abandonment by the Carnegie COM
panty (headed by Mr.. Frick) Of It's New
Jersey charter, recently fled. and the
fact that many Of the sub-companies
of the proposed consolidated compa-
MES filed notice at Albany yesterday OF
their intention to do business in this
state. The fees, ETC., incidental to the
taking out of a charter In Pennsyl-
vania, which was to have been paid
by Mr.. Frick's company, amounted to
nearly $1.O00,000.

White, the United States cmbassaG'r

delegation to the peace conference. in
an interview here with a press repre-

II am hopeful that It will be possi-

peror William have contributed to
improve the situation
IL think we may arrive at some re-
suit on the subject OF mediation and
arbitration. Although It is undoubt-

at least optional. and l believe that
after the conference the powers will
recognize that they have at their dis
posal means of regulating their diff

will be an immense advance.

THE BUFFALO STRIKES.

The Grain Shovelcrs Still Scgot'at-
ing with Contractor CoDners.
Buffalo, May 23.-During the last "a
hours very little has been accomplish
ed by either the strikers or employers
to bring about an adjustment of their
differences, and 1t looks as II the strike
will be prolonged till the end Of the
week. Many conferences have been
held in different parts of the city, but
at none of them was any definite plan
adopted.
President Daniel ]. Keefe, Of the In
ternational 'Longshoremen's associa-
ton, labored all of yesterday with
committees from the different unions
in an effort to come to some arrange
ment. He advised the scoopers to
adopt a proposition which called for
two men to be selected from New
Local 81, two to be chosen by Contractor
Conners, and with Keefe as a fifth,
to form q committee to pass on the
eligibility Of shovelers who should be
recognized by the new union. This
was adopted, and 1t is now believed
that all the men, or as many as there
will be work for, will be laboring by
the end Of the week.

PROBING THE HORROR
Inquest on the Terrible Railroad
Disaster at Exeter.
DEAD AND DYING WERE ROBBED.

The Next Move VIII Be to Arrest the
GhouIs, as 1t Is Believed They Are
Known-Brakeman Had Not Time to
Signal Properly.
Reading, Pa. May 23.-Coroner W.
II. Rothermel's inquiry into the Phila-
delphia and Reading railway horror al
Exeter. in which 29 people were killed
and nearly 60 injured, opened here
yesterday with large audience in at
tendance. Unusual interest was mani
tested by all.
The first witnesses examined IN
cluded William Lutz, the hotel keeper
at Exeter; Robert A. jackson. of Mo-
ristown: James Toal. of Exeter; Maj 11r
Henry Pennington, of Philadelphia: j..
Ellwood Sanders, Of New York. anG
William c. Fox, Of Schulykill Have.
Their testimony established the fac'
that the first train ran past EXe,cr
station. and that 1t was while II was
backing near the front OF the depot
that the accident occurred The rear
brakeman of the first train. Charles
Miller, said he did not have time to
run back very far before the collision.
Another fact fully substantiated by the
above witnesses was that the dead and
injured were robbed with the creates,
freedom.
Edward Sentman, conductor Of n
freight train lying ut Exeter on the
night of the wreck, gave important
testimony. He saw the collision and
saw the brakeman running up tho
track waving a red and white light.
| The air brakes Of the second section
were put on too late. Other witnesses
said the trains were running but three
minutes apart.
Robert A. Jackson, Of NorristOwn.
who was passenger on the second sec
ton, testified that he was In the third
car from the engine. He said he had
the window open. He heard the air
brakes put down. and upon looking
out Of the window saw a man running
with lantern, and the next the col
lision occurred. He was sitting on the
right side. but was uninjured.
Considerable testimony was elected
showing that since the accident the
company had increased its precau-
tIon In the running Of trains. The un-
doubted testimony Of two witnesses
that ghouls were at work rohbing the
dead and dying was the most sensa-
tional Of the days proceedings and
the next move will he to arrest the
parties, as II is believed they are
known.
Hind Brakeman Charles Il. Miller.
Of the first section, engineer Wilder
muth. OF the same train. and NJ. w.
Brommer. the conductor, testified as
to how they were stopped by the coal
train. and how Miller ran back to stop
the coming express. All the testimony
showed that the trains were running
exceedingly close together.

tive to the reduction Of armaments.
am not in n position to speak on the
subject"
Other ambassadors who are dele
gates to the conference were also in
terviewed and expressed similar views
They said they were most hopeful that
the deliberations Of the conference
would result in the adoption Of prac-
teal recommendations tending to-
ward peace and rendering war more
humane. All were dominated by a
sense of immense responsibility to
achieve something, especially In the
direction of arbitration.
The delegates were unanimously oi
the opinion that the question OF the
reduction of ornaments would be the
most difiicult to meet and they be-
lieved It would be relegated to the
rear OF the other two features, espec-
tally since the special object OF the
conference is now acknowledged to be
an endeavor to establish means foi
the solving of International Difficult
ties without recourse to war, thus in
creasing the rarity Of wars and, as a
natural consequence, leading to the
reduction of ornaments.
After an active exchange Of views
the chiefs Of the various delegations
arrived last evening at an agreement
regarding the selection of the prcsi'
dents OF the various committees. This
agreement was communicated to the
delegates, who had been summoned
to meet in plenary session at noon 90
day for the sole purpose Of formal,
confirming the agreement.
Baron De Staal, the head Of the Rus
sian delegation. who was elected prcsi'
dent OF the conference, has made him
self very popular with the members.

shot the band Of the flagship played a
lively air and her white-clad sailors
crowded the decks and gave tremen-
dous cheer. AS the Olympia passed
the Oregon the crew Of the battleship
gave nine cheers for the Olympia, who
responded by throwing their caps SO
high that dozens Of them were left
bobbing in the wake Of the cruiser.
Then followed the noisiest half hour
known in this harbor since the battle
which linked its name with that OF
Dewey. The din OF guns and brass
bands echoed through the smoke. a
feet of steam launches shrieked their
whistles, the musicians of the Balti-
more played Home, Sweet Home.

those of the Oregon said Pleasant

The merchant vessels in these waters
dipped their flags. the ladies on the
decks Of the vessels Of the feet waved
handkerchiefs, and the great black
British cruiser Powerful. which lay
the furthest out, saluted the Olympia.
The latter's band then played God

of the Powerful responded with
hearty cheers for the Olympia. The
last music heard from aboard Dewey's
flagship was "Auld Lang Syne."
