THE STEEL TRADE.
Members OF the Big Combines Try "a
Prevent n War.

Pittsburg, Jan. 3O.-The Leader
says: The plans of the Carnegie
Steel Co. to enter the finishing lines
of steel manufacture are stiIl the
subject of comment in industrial
circles.
President Schwab, of the Carnegie
Co. has gone to New York, and it is
alleged that his visit is for the pur-
pose of a conference with officials of
the National Tube Co. and other Off
cials of the Morgan interests, at
which important agreements affect
ing the entire steel situation are to
be considered. 1t is said that the
plan is to arrange series of agree
ments covering the specialties of the
various big combinations and either
allow term contracts for material, or
pay subsidy to keep the trade with
in the lines drawn by the combinat
tions. This means that the mer-
chant mills will be allowed to pro-
duce material for the trusts and pos
sibly the abandonment or curtail-
ment of some of the plans of the big
combinations to control special lines.

RAILWAY DISASTER.
Engineers Nap Results In n Fatal
Error-Bcsidcs Himself Four
Others Are Killed.

Baltimore, Md, Jan. 20.-A special
from Parkersburg, w. Va to the Morn
ing Herald, says: Five persons dead
and one severely wounded, two engines
and ten loaded cars wrecked is the re-
suit of the mistake OF train crew
Monday afternoon between Petroleum
and Volcano Junction, on the Baltimore
e. Ohio railroad. 1t was the old story
of the engineer being asleep at his post
and mistaking the first section of
passing train for the second. Thinking
both had passed, he pulled his train
onto the main track and sped onward
to what would seem to have necessarily
been his death. The dead are: j. B.
Watkins, engineer train No. 9S; w. w.
Cunningham, fireman on No. 9S; NJ.
Courtney, of Parkersburg. brakeman
on 9s; j. 7. Bailey, of Parkersburg.
fireman on No. 81; j. G. Bailey. Kama
wha, brakeman on No. 81. The injured
man is Ike Davidson, of Grafton, en-
gineer on No. 81, burned, cut and
bruised; will recover.
The scene was indescribable. All the
five men pinned under the wreck were
dead, and only one of the bodies had
been found. He was j. G. Bailey, whose
body was crushed so as to be unrecog-
| nizable. and could only be identified by
his watch, which stopped at 1:05 p. m.
The accident occurred in a cut on a
curve on heavy down grade and
at the end of bridge. That anyone
was saved at all is almost miracle.
The third section of No. 81 was on the
siding at Petroleum. with orders to wait
there until the second section of No. 9S
passed east.
Engineer Davidson, who escaped
with slight injuries, was the engineer
on No. 81 and went to sleep on the
siding. When the first section went
by he thought it was the second Sec
ton and started out on the main
track. His fireman and forward brake
man, both of whom were killed. must
| also have been asleep, for they al
lowed him TO take the train out. The
conductor of the first 9S. after he
passed, saw Davidson pulling out and
tried to wave him to stop, but failed.
The conductor of the fourth 81, seeing
the third section pull out, ran for
ward after il as fast as possible, his
engineer whistling down brakes, and
the conductor of the wrecked train
ran over the tops of the cars until he
reached the car next to the last one
wrecked in his attempt to stop the
engineer, but none of them attracted
his attention in time.

anticipated that the manufacturers
will fight the matter through the

Port of Spain, Trinidad. Jan. 30.--
According to advices from Caracas,
received yesterday, u trustworthy en-
gineer who had arrived there from
Pitch Lake reports that the situation
is disastrous. He says that $50 Eng
lish negroes, who were employed to
do police duty, fed when the insur-
gents began firing into the jungles,
only 25 Americans being left to pro-
tect the property and lives of Amer
lean families. The messenger from
the lake implored the United States
legation at Caracas to afford protec-
ton, saying that the lives and prop
erty of Americans were exposed to
guerilla attacks, firing around the
lake going on nightly and the Amer
leans being too few to hold out long.
United States Minister Looms re-
piled that these reports were possibly
exaggerated, but that they could not
be ignored and that he would wire
the facts to Washington.
Mr.. Olcott, the 0rinoco manager,
has returned from Caracas, where he
went to try to arrange for the re-
lease of the steamers and schooners
captured by Venezuelan gunboat
near Trinidad. The British owner
flew the Venezuelan flag and the
crew were not shot.
The revolution in eastern Venezue-
la is increasing, but the disturbances
are remote from Caracas, which re-
mains tranquil. Information that
has reached Port of Spain says that
the insurgents have re-taken Carupa-
no and will attack Cumano soon.
Steamers are not allowed to land
passengers or mails at Curapano. The
commander of the French cruiser
Suchet, which lies there, confirms
this intelligence. 1t appears that an
attempted to capture Ciudad Bolivar,
capital of the state of Bolivar. about
375 miles up the Orinoco is likely to
be made as soon as a supply of arms
is received.
Cables to the Trinidad papers from
Caracas are severely censored. The
Venezuelan government threatens
three American reporters with fore
ible expulsion, and is vigorously sup
| pressing press dispatches to the Uni
| ted States. Even diplomatic mes
sages are tampered with.
