cars were demolished and burned. The
for several days, but it is believed the
damage will aggregate several thou
sand dollars.
The contents Of the thirteen wreck
ed cars were: Four cars of sugar; one
sulphur; one general merchandise; one
wine, brandy and whisky in barrels;
one lemons, four oranges. n wool.
The sugar and sulphur were a total
loss. About one-haff of the car of
wool was gotten out, a part of the
lemons, a very small part of the gen.
eral merchandise, a half dozen barrels
of wine and probably one-half of the
oranges were saved. Mr.. Daley's men
worked faithfully, but the intense heat
of the burning wreckage made it i'm
possible to save any more.
The wreck was undoubtedly caused
by a misunderstanding between Brake
man B.. H. Perry of Conductor Hen
bricks crew and Section Foreman John
Ohlund who was in charge of the
gang of Jap section men working two
and one half miles east of the switch.

was on ahead. They had in the train
two steel coal cars loaded with tiling
for OrNeill, but having orders to meet
the special at Riner, they went by the
siding. Upon reaching Riner Conduct
or Hendricks thought he would ave
time to send the engine back with the
two cars for O'Neill as the special was
a little behind the schedule. The cars
were cut off and Engineer Winkleman
and Brakeman Perry brought them
back. When they arrived at the O'Nein
switch. Section Foreman John Ohlund
was there and as a matter of accom-
mediation he opened the switch for
them to back in. Ohland says that he
then started to walk away toward
where his men were at work, expect
ling that the brakeman would close the
switch when he had set the cars in.
Brakeman Perry says that Ohland
was still standing near when he I'M
coupled the cars from the engine. and
as he went out he called to Ohland to
close the switch which he said he
would do.
OF course it was the business of the
brakeman to see that the switch was
closed, but someone Numbered and as
a result a horrible wreck occurred.
Conductor Hendricks remained at
Riner but it is expected that the COM
pany will hold him responsible for the
action Of his brakeman.

The charred remains of two more
victims of the Union Pacific accident
at O'Neill side track were found in the
wreckage yesterday. Both bodies were
so badly burned as to render Identified
ton impossible. One of the bodies was
that of a boy.
Papers in the pockets of n of the
unknown victims found yesterday indi-
Gated hat his name was Daniel Shay,
and that he had recently been employed
at Rock Springs. The other unknown
found yesterday has not beer ideDti-
fed, and the remains of Fireman Louis
Banta have not been found.
When the accident occurred a car
loaded with sulphur caught fire and
transformed the wreck into a sea Of
flames. The wreckage is still burning
and renders the work of searching for
additional victims exceedingly hazard
GUS. Thus far the remains of three
men and three boys have been recov-
cred, and it is believed other bodies
will be found before the search is COM
pleted.
An official investigation into the
cause of the awful disaster discloses
the probability that the accident was
due to the carelessness Of IN employe.
The last train to pass O'Neill prior to
the accident was a west-bound freight
in charge of Conductor hendricks
crew. Two ears Of drainage pipe were
set on the side track, a section fore
man opening the switch for the crew.
The train then pulled out with the be-
lief that the section foreman would
close the switch. The foreman had
gone about his work, however, and the
switch was not closed.
When the fast f..'ght dashed through
the open switch an hour later the two
loaded cars were struck with such

ADMIRALTY COURT ESTABLISHED
First Case Tried and Decided at Van
couver, B. c.

VANCOUVER, B. C. Jan. 1S.-An ad-
mlralty court has been established in
Vancouver and the first case under this
jurisdiction was tried yesterday before
Chief-Justice Mccall. The action was
brought by Charles S. Dean, a seaman.
against F. r. Med. Russell, as regis
tered owner and Charles E. Crockett,
as master of the steamship City OF
Columbia. The admitted facts showed
that Dean shipped on the 7th of May
last under Captain Crockett at $50 per
month and that he was discharged at
Queen Charlotte Sound on the sth OF
November The defense claimed, how
ever, that Dean had deserted the ship
at Vancouver in August and had re-
shipped at $50 a month on the 7th Of
September. On cross-examination Of
Crockett it appeared that Dean had
been on the ship at the time and was
working at the time when Crockett
claimed he had deserted. The court
gave judgment in favor Of the plaintiff
Tor six months at $50 per month.

WHAT WE HAVE IN PORTO RICO.
Government Commissioner Reports HIS
Investigations.

WASHINGTON, jar. 10 Henry K,
Carroll, special commissioner for the
United States to Puerto Rico, under
appointment by the president to invest
igate the civil, industrial financial and
social condition Of the island, has made
his report. The report states that
Puerto Rico has an area estimated
at from 1856 to $500 square miles. The
climate iE tropical. but not torried.
The thermometer rarely rises to 100
degrees, the highest monthly average
on record in nine years in San Juan
being sc degrees. The mountains are
generally covered with verdure and
even the peaks are gardens Of the hus-
bandman. The death rate is moderate.
The population in 1897 numbered $780,
SzO exclusive Of the Spanish military
then occupying the islands, and the
penal population. A comparison Of the
census Of 1887 and 1897 shows that the
colored race Is decreasing, the whites
now numbering CT per cent Of the
whole. The Catholic was the state reu-
sion and at the time Of the American
occupation there were only two
Of any other faith in the
island. The public charities are few
and poorly supported. Crime is not ex-
cessive. The statistics Of birth in 1897
show that about 48 per cent are ilegit-
innate. At most Of the hearings held by
the commissioner persons insisted that
the fees exacted by the priests were too
heavy for poor people, who preferred
living together unwedded than to meet
all the conditions Of ecclesiastical mar
rlages. These persons it was said are
rarely untrue to each other.
The Puerto Ricans, the report says,
are a kindly, hOspitable, polite people,
very sociable and always ready to do
Americans friendly service. One of
the greatest needs Of the island IS said
to be good roads.
The common estimate Of Puerto
Ricans is that only one tenth Of the
cultivable lands are In cultivation at
any one time. The soil Of the plains
and valleys is generally very rich
and have borne crops for generations
without the use Of fertilizers. The
