Cut ON From Escape in a burning
Apartment Building.
Chicago. May 7.-Seven persons were
buried to death, three fatally injured
and several others slightly burned and
otherwise injured in a fire that de-
strcyed a three-story apartment build
ing at 1916 Marquette avenue, South
Chicago. early yesterday. While the
occupants of the burning building
were struggling with the smoke and
flames ip-hope of forcing their way to
safety, the i1ren1en, who were respond
ing to the alarm, were vainly waiting
for q freight train which was blocking
the way Of the fire engines to move
away from the crossing and give an
open road to the fire. Marshall Dris-
coll, in charge of the firemen. called to
the conductor and brakemen to move
the train but they refused to comply
with his request. The police were sent
for and the crew was arrested. Then
under orders of the fire marshal the
train was backed from the crossing,
but by the time the firemen reached
the burning building the structure had
been destroyed. Scattered among the
embers were found the charred re-
mains of the victims. The bodies were
burned beyond recognition and were
identified in. various ways. The train
crew, who live at Elkhart, Ind, are be-
ing held without bail awaiting the ver-
dict Of the coroner's inquest. The ORR
gin Of the fire is unknown. The
building was an old one. built of wood
and burned so rapidly that all avenues
Of escape by stairways were cut or
before the occupants were aware Of
the fire.

A n PEOPLE INJURED.

Collision of Two Traction. Cars at
Akron, Ohio.
Akron, Ohio, May 1.-TWO Northern
Ohio traction cars collided al the foot
Of a steep hill on North Howard street
yesterday afternoon and about a dozen
people were injured. The two ars
were loaded with passengers and were
travelling close together. For some
reason the brakes on the second car
failed to work and it dashed down the
hill at a terrific speed, striking the
forward car which had stopped to take
on more passengers. Strange to say
no one on the second car was injured
except the motorman, Scott, who sus-
tanned serious internal injuries. The
a platform Of the forward car was
crowded and all N the platform were
more or less injured.

Washington, May 1.-THE answer OF

Of the state department respecting the
seizure at Union bay Of the wrecking
vessel Ajax, which was engaged In
saving the American steamer VILLAIN
cite, has been received, and, as was
expected, it takes the ground that the
Willamette was NOT wrecked in waters
contiguous to the United States boun-
dairy. line,", a condition which the
treaty makes necessary to. wrecking
like this. It appears that
Union bay, the scene Of the wreck, is
more than 100 miles distant from the
boundary line, and in the light of the
treaty and of subsequent decisions Of
the authorities, it could not be regard
ed as forming part of. the contiguous
waters, so that the seizure was justi-
fed and cannot be made the subject Of
remonstrance.

Mad Ruler of Bavaria Presents q
Pathetic Spectacle.
Berlin, May Mad King Ludwig Of
Bavaria has just celebrated his fifty
third birthday anniversary. His con-
dition grows worse and he now pre-
sents a painfully pathetic spectacle.
His eyes have lost all expression and
his voice is growing feeble. The hair
or his head and his beard are white
and ragged, as the appearance Of a
barber provokes a violent paroxysm.
His face is the color Of parchment.
The only sign Of recognition he ever
gives 10 a feeble smile. He smokes
cigarettes perpetually and alternates
between semi-starvation and wild vo-
racity. His doctors say he may live
five years unless an internal hem
orrhage occurs.

TO DELAY ACTION
SCHEME OF THE NEW PANAMA
CANAL COMPANY.
Continued. Efforts to Unload the
Panama Ditch Upon the United
states Part of . General Plan to
Prevent the Conjunction of the
Nicaragua Canal-United states
Could Not Become Owner of the
Panama Canal-Hepburn Bill VIII
BE Reintroduced.

Washington, May S.-The continued
efforts of h new Panama Canal COM
pany to unload upon the United States
h big De Lesseps ditch are regarded
here as a part of the general plan to
prevent the construction of the Near
aguan canal.
Mr.. Hutin. the president of that
company, has allowed it to be under
stood that his company is ready to
have appraisers appointed to fix the
value of the Panama canal property
with a view to its sale to the United
States. The friends of the Nicaragua
canal project regard this as only a
proposition: ~ to delay action by con-
gress. The United States government
could never become the owner of the
Panama canal. The charters to the
Panama Canal company absolutely
prohibit it to cede or mortgage its
right to any nation or foreign govern
ment, under penalty of forfeiture. The
concessions from Colombia also pro-
hibit such disposition Of the property.
The isthmian canal commission. Of
which Admiral Walker is president,
made a thorough investigation of this
question. and reported that even II
the privileges Of the company could be
Purchased and Transferred
to the United. States they were incum-
bered with charges and conditions
that would not permit this government
to exercise all the rights Of complete
ownership over a canal constructed by
it over the Panama route. The gov
eminent could only become a minority
stockholder in the company. Senator
Morgan, chairman Of the senate COM
mittee on ~interoceanic canals, believes
that all the propositions from the new
Panama Canal company are made for
the sole purpose of delaying action by
this government on the Nicaraguan
canal plan. He will continue to oppose
Panama canal schemes n work
for a canal to be owned and controlled
by the government. Chairman Hep
burn of the house is in full sympathy
with Senator Morgan and will reintro-
duce his bill. to construct a canal by
the Nicaragua route to be owned and
by the United States gov
eminent. Mr.. Hepburn believes that
bill will again pass the house and be
accepted by the senate.
