PREPARING TO RUSH
CANAL LEGISLATION
Obstacles to Be Cleared When
Bill Reaches Senate.
NO TERMS YET SUBMITTED

1t Is Probable, However, that This
Question VIII Be Settled at An Ear
Iy Date-When This Is Done Treaties
VIII Be Arranged.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 80. - President
Hulin of the Panama Canal company
called by appointment upon Secretary
Hay today and had long talk with
him touching the prospects of the Pan
anna canal as affected by the probable
legislation at the approaching congress.
The Panama company has as yet made
no official tender of the property to the
state department.. 1t has, however, pre-
sented to the Isthmian canal commits
sion, of which Admiral Walker is presi-
dent, a full statement of the affairs of
the company, and the conditions upon
which it might be willing to pass con-
troll of it's property to the United States
government in the event that the Pan
anna route should be chosen.
The commission will include Mr. HUI
Inns communication in its report so that
congress will have before it material for
exercising choice between the Nicara-
guam and Panama routes It is proba-
BILE, however, that before the latter can
be taken under serious consideration a
more definite proposition as to the exact
terms under which the Panama COM
pany's rights could be acquired by the
United States will be required.
The canal commission is making a
strenuous effort to finish it's preliminary
report, which, according to promise,
was to be delivered to the president to-
day. 1t is now said that the document
will be sent to congress as an accom-
paniment of the presidents message,
and that meanwhile it will probably not
be made public.
1t is evidently the intention of the adj
m1nlstratlOn to press canal legislation
upon congress earnestly and speedily
from the very beginning of the session.
1t is expected that before final action
can be had i'll the senate upon the pend
ing public bill providing for the con-
struction of the Nicaragua canal the ex-
ecutive branch of the government will
have succeeded in removing certain OBJ
stacles which now lie in the course Of
the pending Fay Pauncefote treaty, and
if this latter convention should be rati-
fed the administration influence will be
cast in favor of the pending bill.
There have been several conferences
of late between Secretary Hay, on one
side and Seniors Correa and Calvo, the
ministers for Nicaragua and Costa Rica,
respectively, and it is believed that by
way of anticipating action upon the
Hay Pauncefote treaty the bases have
already been laid for the treaties with
the two isthmian republics, which would
be necessary to give effect to the canal
bill and to secure for the United States
the exclusive right for the canal con-

ROOF COLLAPSES AND
FOURTEEN ARE KILLED
Worst Accident In the His
tory of San Francisco.
EIGHTY-TH IUJURED

While Watching Football Game
From the Building 1t Gave Way
Hurting the Occupants to Speedy
Death As Feet Below.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 30.-Not in the
history of this city has an accident hap
pened approaching in horrible details
that of yesterday when more than 100
men and boys, who were viewing the
Stanford California football game from
the roof of an adjoining glass manufac-
tory, were suddenly precipitated into
the interior of the building, many on
top of the white hot furnaces. The VEN
tilator annex to the roof, on which they
were perched, collapsed under the strain
and without warning IA persons were
hurled to their death. The injured now
being cared for in hospitals or at their
homes number SO, and of these several
cannot survive.
Nearly all of the fatalities were caused
by the force of the fall. In only few
cases was contact with the furnaces the
hands quickly dragged into the open
air those who were in danger of being
burned alive.
Charles Yost, oven man of the glass
works, was raking the fire when the
crash came and narrowly escaped being
struck by the falling bodies. He says
that those killed either struck the heavy
bands that surround the glass oven or
were crushed by those who fell on top of
them.
Many succeeded in staying their de-
scent for moment by clutching the
broken beams, but before they could be
reached they were obliged to release
their hold and drop to the floor, 40 feet
below.
Clarence Jeter, a furnace tender,
pulled eight persons off the top of the
retort, where the heat was about 500
degrees. The oil retorts were full and
the fire did not go down until they were
emptied. Some of the men and boys
were terribly burned. They were drawn
away from the retOrts with long iron
pokers used in testing the glass.
While aiding in removing the dead
and wounded T. J. Parker, a fireman,
found his own son among those injured.
The lad probably will die.
The managers of the glass works
stated that it was impossible for them
to keep the people off their buildings.
They disclaim all responsibility for the
accident. 1t is estimated that over 800
persons were on the Iventilator when it
collapsed for it's entire length of 100 feet.
Some were thrown to the main roof of
the building and escaped unhurt, but of
those who fell to the furnaces nearly all
were either killed or seriously manned.

LAsHED BY ANGRY NATIONS
Two Mormon Elders Roughly Treated
In South Hungary.

VIENNA, Nov. 3O.-Advices received
from Temesvar, South Hungary, record
the rough treatment received by two
Mormon elders, emissaries from Salt
Lake City, Utah. The two elders had
hardly commenced to enunciate their
views on polygamy when the audience
stormed the platform and elected the
pair from the hall. One of them was
compelled to run the gauntlet of $50
irate citizens armed with sticks, straps
or knotted cords and shod with hob
nailed shoes. He was afterward stripped
to the waist and thrashed by half a
dozen matrons of Temesvar. The second
Mormon was ducked in horse pond.
Finally the two Mormons were rescued
by the police.
The minister of the interior here pro-
hibited further Mormon attempts to
proselyte as being danger TO the we'll
being of the state.

Commander of the State Naval Militia
Makes a Special Report.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. - Lieutenant
Commander w. H. H. Switzerland, the
officer in charge of the naval militia,
has made special report to the navy
department upon the operations of that

all 567 officers and $500 petty officers
and enlisted men. The naval appropri-
alton act allotted the sum of $50, 00O for
the militia, of which $57, 1000 had been
distributed among the 90 state organi-
buttons on Jan. last.
Lieutenant Commander Switzerland
sets forth an array of facts to make OBJ
vious the absolute necessity of a ma
tional reseve, in addition to the present
militia organizations.
