switchmen's strike gives evidence today of
rapid disintegration, and by tomorrow
morning the officials of the different rail-
roads with terminals in Pittsburg declare
that traffic will be resumed as usual
This result is attributed largely to the
action of the Brotherhood of Trainmen at
their two meetings yesterday in deciding
against assistance and sympathy for the
strikers.
At the yards of the Baltimore and Ohio
the officials reported full crews at work to-
day, and everything proceeding satisfac-
torily. Nearly 100 men from subdivisions
OF the road were brought in yesterday, and
these with the old men, who had returned
to work, Were on duty. Part Of the new
men were sent to the Pittsburg and western
yards at Willow Grove and to the Pitts
burg Junction road.
The Pittsburg and Western officials re-
ported nine crews, the regular number, at
work, with trains moving as usual.
A number of the old men they said had
applied for their former positions but were
refused work.

suffered the most from the strike the

AWFUL SCENE OF wRECKAGE.
Railway Men Remove the Victims and
Clear the Tracks.

DETROIT. Mich, November 2S.-No de-
velopments since daylight dawned upon the
horrid scene of wreckage on the Wabash
railroad near Seneca have tended TO mini
mize or detract from last nights awful
calamity. Most of the wreckage has been
cleared from the track. 1t continues to ap-
pear that the number of dead victims win
reach from eighty to one hundred, and
more than the latter number are suffering
greater or less injuries. Some of the rail-
road officials assert that the number OF
of corpses and parts of human forms being
collected seems to indicate enlargement
rather than diminution of last i/sh:s esti-
mates The latest news from the scene is
being handled over a special wire arranged
for by the Associated Press.
Considerable light was thrown on the
cause for the disaster by the orders which
the conductor showed as his authority for
proceeding past Sand creek.
The order. which was delivered to the
train at Holloway, read as follows:
4, engine 900. will meet No. 13 at Seneca,
and No. 3. engine 623, Sand creek. Engines
Nos IS and Isl will double-head No. Is"
1t is understood that the engineer and
conductor of No. received a similar order
at Montpelier, Ohio, but IL so these orders
were disregarded. II 1T develops that the
orders issued to both trains were 70 the

sibiiity for the disaster rests wholly with

Consul Norton says that a jobber recently

superior strength and weight great satis-

article is 10 cents per yard. while the

fire on the liberal forces under Colonel Bar

top of small hill at Buena Vista. The
fighting, which was of the most savage ma
ture lasted until $50 pm. without stop

to the great loss they had sustained, were
compelled to give way and retreated to-
ward Frijoes. Over 100 men We're killed
or wounded. the bodies lying all along the
railroad track.
A train, on reaching Buena Vista, was
unable to pass, owing to a pile of corpses
blocking its passage. About twenty wound
ed men were taken to Panama on the even-
ing train.

lac liberal loss was again insignificant.
1t is said to be less than dozen men.
Colonel Barrera is now twice a hero.
Much regret is expressed at the fact that
he was not detailed to prevent the passage
of Barbacoa bridge.
The liberals at Colon are once more jubi-
liant, owing to the fact that General AL
bans forward march has been stopped
coupled with reasonable hopes that Cen
eral Domingo Diaz, with the reinforce
ments of liberals from Chorrera, will soon
arrive on the scene of action and attack
General Alban in the rear. This has
changed the aspect of affairs at Panama.
ReinfOrcementS of government troops in
small patches have been joining General
Alban continually.
This is the anniversary of the independ-
ence of the ihthmus and has always been
a holiday at both ends of the railroad line,

a crimson spot between Colon and Panama
marks the place where a brave man has
fallen.
The leading merchants of Colon called
on the United States and British consulS
| Tuesday to ascertain what steps were to
be taken to protect the town from posi-
bic violence should the state of affairs
| become more critical. They were assured
that marines from the Warships would, in
case of necessity, be landed to protect life
