ARMY NOMINATIONS HELD Up.

The Senate SHES at Names of Generals
Wood, Grant and Bell.
The senate committee on military
affairs Friday agreed to report favora-
bly, the nomination of Major General
Nelson A. Miles to lieutenant general,
and also the three nominations to the
Office of major general under the army
reorganization bill.
All the nominations to be brigadiers
also were fsvorably acted upon except
those of General Leonard Wood, Cen

lin Bell. These three were held up in
order to permit further Investigation,
the feeling being that these three had
not seen sufficient service to warrant
promotion over older officers.

WRECK ON THE ERIE
Five Killed Outright and Many
are Badly Hurt.
THREE SOLDIERS WERE VICTIMS
Engine Crashes Into a Steep Bluff
and Cars Were Completely
TeIescoped.

Train No. 5, the New York-Chicago
limited on the Erie railroad, was
wrecked Thursday morning within the
town limits of Greenville, Pa. Five
passengers were dead when taken from
the wreck, several are missing and
there are many badly injured.
Hardly passenger escaped without
some injury. The train was composed
entirely of vestibuled Pullmans, three
sleeping cars, day coach, combination
smoker and baggage car and mail
car and was drawn by one of the new
Atlantic type of engines. The smoking
car was completely telescoped by the
steel mail car ahead, which went
th1 ough it as if it were paper, tearing,
crushing, manning and carrying death.
The scene of the wreck is on sharp
curve. On one side. forty feet below,
flows the Shenango river, on the other
side is steep bluff. The engine left
the track at the curve and before it
had gone two car lengths plowed into
the steep hill, where it fell upon its
side and was half buried. The train
was running about two hours late, and
the accident happened at 7:l0, just
about the time when the occupants of
the sleepers had finished dressing.
After tthe terrible crash the unin-
iured passengers set about the rescue
of the dead and wounded, sur
geons were summoned, and within a
few moments the dead and dying were
being cared for rs fast as they could
be discovered beneath the wreckage.
It was several hours, however, before
the victims had been removed and
placed in the two rear Pullmans.
The scenes inside the telescoped
cars were terrible. Men begged to be
released and screamed in agony. They
were all beaped in a corner of the
car, dumped there by the irresistible
impetus of the mail car.
The injured were placed on special
train and taken to the Spencer hos
pital, Meadville, about noon. What
little was left of the baggage or ex-
press matter was dumped into the
river to clear the debris for rescue.
Several hundred sacks of mail were
apparently little injured.
THREE SOLDIERS WE'RE KILLED.
The train was in charge of Conduc-
tor Randall, with Engineer Luce and
Fireman Eckert. Both the engineer
and fireman escaped by jumping,
though both were painfully injured.
Superintendent Belknap and other Of
ticials were early on the ground. They
were unable to assign cause for the
accident unless spreading rails can be
blamed.
A party of nine soldiers on their way
from Fort Porter, New York, to Fort
Crook, Neb., occupied part of the.
smoker. OF these three were killed
and two seriously injured. They were
under orders for the Philippines.
The P. B. and L. E. railroad sent
forty men from their shops in the city
and lent valuable aid before the Eric
wrecking crews arrived.

TILLMAN IS AROUSED
South Carolina Senator INDUCES
In Strong Language.
He SWEARS A MIGHTY SWEAR
Asserts That He Will Block All
Pension Bills That Come
Up Hereafter.

A Washington special says: The
passage at the beginning Of the session
of the senate Saturday of bill grant
ing O pension of $50 month to Stacy
II. Cogswell, company F, Thirteenth
Indiana volunteer regiment, induced
Mr.. Tillman, of South Carolina, to
make some forceful comments upon
the house in not taking action upon a
bill providing pension for Mexican
war veteran who had resided in South
Carolina during the civil war and
naturally had been in sympathy with
the confederacy. The bill had been
passed by the senate, but the house
invalid pension committee was delay
ing final action upon it.
Mr.. Tillman said that there was 30
much sectional animosity in the house
committee that the members refused
to permit action upon tho bill for the
benefit of his old Mexican veteran.
eve, of the south, want tc know If
the struggle is ended, shouted the
irate senator, as he, uttered oaths to
Senator Hale of Maine, who objected
to further debate.
Senator Tillman went to Hale's desk
and swore he would "see them in hell''
before any more pension bills should
pass, if he could prevent it.
Later he obtained the floor and reit-
Grated his complaint against the house
committee and refused to be discip-
lined by Senator Chandler.
Senator Tillman was furious, and
his speech qnickly drew crowd to the
galleries and all senator's to the floor.
Senator Tillman demanded the re-
peal of the law preventing the pension
of veterans of the Mexican and other
wars because they rendered aid to the
Confederacy.

SULzER RAISES ROW.
Lively Day In the House Over
Senate's Action and q Pro.
Roer perorafion.

Boer Peroration.
Monday was field day in the house,
being by far the liveliest day during
the present session. A very interest
ind debate over the constitutional
limitations on the power Of the
senate over revenue legislation ini-
tiated by the house was pre-
cipitated when Mr.. Payne, the chair
man of the ways and means committee,
brought in the resolution of the COM
mittee to disagree to the substitute
proposed by the senate as an amend
ment to the war revenue reduction act
and to ask for a conference with the
senate.
Mr.. Tawney, of Minnesota, cham
pioned the course Of the house and its
paramount rights over revenue legis-
ton, but was unfortunate in not bring
ing forward resolution to return the
bill to the senate with the declaration
that the senate had transcended its
powers in substituting an entirely new
measure for the bill of the house.
Later in the day during the consid-
GRAFTON OF the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill an impassioned
pro -Boer speech by Mr.. Sulzer, Of new
York, drew from Mr.. Mahon, of Penn
sylvania, the recital of the raising OF 9
fund of about 81, 200 for the benefit of
the widows of Boer soldiers at meet
ing held in the city, at which Mr.. Sui
zer presided. He declared that after
the s'terrapin and cold bottles got in
their work" only $lS was left for the
Boer widows. This stung Mr.. Sulzer
to reply at length.
He said he had no connection with
the expenditure of the fund, to which
he had contributed SITS and q very
lively row followed, the climax of
which was reached when Mr.. Sulzer
had read an anonymous letter which
made a sensational attack upon Mr..
Perry s. Heath, late assistant post
master general, who was secretary OF
the Republican national committee
during the recent campaign, charging
him with being Neely's sponsor, and
then denying it after the arrest OF
Neelv.

Vig;nian Nominated BY President
To Be Brigadier General In
the Regular Army.

the Regular ARMY.
, A Washington special says: The
president Monday sent to the senate
the nominations of James 81. Wilson,
of Delaware and F4tzhugh Lee of Vir-
ginia, now brigadier general of volun'
teers, to be brigadier general in the
regular army.

lowing nominations:

General s. B. NJ. Young, United States
army; Colonel Adna R. Chafee, Eighth
cavalry United States army (major
general United States volunteers); /;
Brigadier General Arthur Macarthur,
United States army (major general
United States volunteers).
The senate held two brief executive
sessions for the consideration for the
Office of brigadier general sent in by
the president under the army reorgan-
ization act of the present session OF
congress.
At the first session the nominations
to that position which had been favor
ably reported upon were recommitted
to the committee on military affairs.
During the afternoon there was hur-
ried meeting of the committee, at
which q favorable report upon all the
brigadier nominations before the COM
mittee were acted upon, and at the
second closed session of the senate
they we're all reported.
Those favorable recommendations
included not only tbs nominations
heretofore reported, but also the nom
nations of Generals Wood, Grant and
Bell. which had been previously pass
ed over, and also those of Generals
Fitzhugh Lee and James II. Wilson,
whose names were sent in during the
day. When the nominations were re-
ported Senator Pettigrew objected to
favorable consideration and they went
over until Tuesday under the senate
rule.
It is understood that there will be 9
change in the order in which the NOM
nations were made, which will relieve
them of the criticism that was made
on account of the high relative posi-
tiop the original assignments gave
certain officers.

son county, Ark, to construct aud
maintain q bridge across the Arkansas
river within five miles of Pine Bluff
was passed.
Bills we're also passed setting apart

Consideration of the military acad.
emy appropriation bill was then re-
sumed, the pending question being
the amendment offered by Mr.. Allen,
of Nebraska, providing that cadets.
upon entering the academy, should
take an oath not to engage in hazing
and if found guilty of hazing be dis
missed from the academy and not be
eligible thereafter to hold position
either in the army or in the navy Of

In supporting the amendment, Mr..
Allen asserted that the brutal practice
of assaulting another who was his
junior had been carried to ridiculous
extent at the military academy and he
believed it would never be broken up
until the most rigid measures were
taken in good faith to put an end TO
it.
After further discussion Mr.. Allen
withdrew his amendment and offered
some amendments making stronger
the phraseology of the committees
amendment relating to hazing. Az
agreed to tho hazing paragraph reads:
"Tbat the superintendent OF the
military academy shall make such
rules, to be approved by the secretary
of war, as will eftectually prevent the
practice of hazing; and any cadet
found guilty of participating in or en-
couraging or countenancing such prae-
tice shall be summary expelled from
the academy and shall not thereafter
be re.appointed to the corps OF cadets
or be eligible for appointment a.
