hospital. Here as we'll as at other points,
preparations were hurriedly made to
take care OF the wounded as rapidly as
they were brought to the railroad sta
tion.
The number Of injured is placed at
twenty. The response of the police and
fire departments to the cali was prompt,
and within an incredibly short time 800
fremen, policemen, surgeons and train
men were in the smoke and steam filled
tunnel, working desperately to rescue
the wounded passengers. In many In.
stances the uninjured and those slightly
hurt rendered splendid aid. The bodies
OF the dead and seriously wounded were
hoisted thru the openings in the roof Of
the tunnel and hurried to the nearest
hospitals The tunnel extends from
Fifty-fifth street, just above the grand
central station, and is about two miles
long. Railroad officials say the wreck did
not take fire. The direct cause and re-
sponslbility for the accident has not
been determined. An investigation is
now being conducted by the officials

miles northeast of this city, is the vic
tim of unknown persons who are en-

ghostly visitations, to get possession OF
her property.
White figures are seen floating about
her premises after nightfall, and the un-
canny noises which are produced
frighten the aged woman and she fees
to neighbors for protection, always re-
lating the same story. The ghost visits
the house when she is absent and on her
return che finds the furniture misplaced
and a note of warning written in red

The strange shadows and weird

CABINET CONSIDERS CANAL.
Informal Discussion of Panama Com

pany's Ofer to Sell.
Washington, Jan. 8.-M. Edward
Lampre, secretary general Of the Pana-
ma Canal company. accompanied by NJ.
Boeufves chancellor of the French en-
bassy. yesterday called on Admiral
Walker, president Of the isthmian canal
commission. M. Lampre confirmed the
offer of $40,000.000 for the properties of
the Panama Canal company submitted
last week by NJ. Boeufve, but the for
NAL proposition In writing will not be
made for day or more, as there are
some matters of detail yet to be ar
ranged which must be included in the
proposition. 1t is therefore expected
that the formal proposition will not be
transmitted before the latter part of
the week. M. Lampre called upon
the secretary of state and the Colom-
bian minister yesterday.
At the cabinet meeting yesterday the
propostin of the Panama Canal COM
pany to transfer it's property to the
United States for the sum of $4,000 900
was discussed. 1t is expected that the
1sthmian canal commission will make a
supplementary report to the president
which will embrace the latest PROPOSE
ton of the Panama company.

HANNA OPPOSES CANAL.
Ohio Senator an outspoken Opponent
Of the Canal Prof iect,

Washington, Jan. S.--Senator Hanna
is an outspoken opponent of the Nica-
ragua canal bill. He stood in the lobby
of the senate today and addressed a
small but select audience and gave his
views on the question in most emhatic
and graphic language. He spoke with
out reserve, altho he is a member OF the
committee on interocsanic canals to
which the bill now under consideration
in the house will be referred, and there
is no doubt that he will have great
weight with the committee when the
subject comes before it.
The chairman OF. the committee. SEN
ator Morgan. of Alabama, is the father
of the Nicaragua canal scheme in con-
gress, and undoubtedly knows more
about the subject than any man who
ever sat in the senate or house Of rep
resentatives. He is, however, an un-
compromising advocate of the Nioara-
qua route and treats with utter con-
tempt the movement now on foot to
confuse the question by bringing up
the proposition of the Panama Canal
Company to sell its property to the
United States for s40,OG0.00O.
Mr.. Morgan doubts the sincerity of
the proposition and thinks the goods
could not be delivered, If a bargain
should be made, and even doubts the
propriety of NJ. Jules Boeufve, chancei-
lor of the French embassy, acting as
the agent OF the Panama company. In
making it's offer to sell its canal prop
erty. Senator Morgan is opposed to
having congress listen to any PROPOSE
ton from the Panama company and
would have the United States accept its
canal as a gift
Senator Hanna Is not so much an ad-
vocate OF the Panama idea as he is an
opponent of the Nicaragua route, and
that he opposes only because he thinks
1t is not the best one geogra phically or
financially Mr.. Hanna, indeed. is in
clined to believe that the old Darien
route is the one that offers the best ad-
vantage. all things considered.
About year ago he had his attention
called to the reports made upon this
route at various times and talked with
one OF the engineers, who found in an
out OF the way place some maps and
drawings which he brought to the at
tention of President Mckinley, and
thru him to Senator Hanna 1t is prob
able that the fact OF the Darien route
which seems to have been entirely lost
upon the present generation of con-
gressman, may be submitted to the
senate committee during it's considera-
ton Of the canal question and to the
senate when the bill comes before that

Senate Majority for p,,ra.

Havana, Jan. s.-The election board
announces that all the senator's chosen
at the recent election, except those in
Puerto Principe, are Palma men. In
Puerto Principe all the probable sem
ators are Masoites. The Masoites with
drew from the elections in most parts
of Santiago, and it is claimed that all
the representatives from that province
will be supporters of Senior Palma.
The conservative organs. Nuevo Pals,
Diario de la Marina. and Union Espan-
ola, praise the recent declarations Of
Senior Palma, and condemn the agitation
of the Maso element.
Some consider that the senate will
comprise good body of men, while
others fear that the house will be rad
ical at first A division is looked for
among the members supporting Senior
Palma, tho they are nominally strongly
in favor of him. The principal fear Is
of the provincial councils. which the re-
garded by many as useless danger.

THAT scHLEY APPEAL.
President Would Veto Bill Creating
ce-Admirals.


Washington, Jan. 8.-The presidents
action in re-opening the Schley case by
granting the admiraPs request for the
consideration of his appeal was the top
ic in naval circles yesterday.
From what the president said to call
ers 1t Is evident that he has concluded
to give Admiral Schley's representa-
tions the fullest consideration, and to
that end, and in order that ground for
criticism may be removed, he will refer
the appeal to Attorney General Knox
with directions to investigate every
point In the most thorough manner.
Mr.. Knox cannot be accused OF being
unfriendly to Admiral Schley On two
occasions. wnen he necessarily became
concerned in the Schley case, his atti-
tude indicated that he was favorably
disposed towards that officer.
In reviewing the appeal Mr.. Knox's
function will be purely legal He will
confine himself to determining whether
the objections made by Admiral Schley
to the courts conclusions arr borne out
by the law the naval regulations and
the evidence in the case.
Admiral Schley's appeal will not be
presented to President Roosevelt until
after Jan. 20, the date on which Admiral
Schley will return to Washington from
his southern trip. He will leave here for
Savannah on Thursday. During his abb
sence the appeal will be prepared by
Messrs Rayner and league, and will be
ready to place In Mr.. Roosevelts hands
Immediately after the admiral's return
Admiral .Schley's friends believe his
southern trip will be continuous
cheer. the echoes of which will not have
eied away when the appeal reaches the
white house.
President Roosevelt was advised yes
terday not to permit Admiral Schley to
make an appeal to him. His right to
refuse to review any communication on
the subject is unquestioned, as the
Schley case was purely within the nava.
jurisdiction.
Whatever action the president takes
will be regarded by him as final, and
those who know Mr.. Roosevelt's senti-
ments are willing TO predict that there
will be trouble for anybody, Admiral
Schley not excepted, who seeks to cause
agitation after that.
Admiral Schley's visit to the president
was not only for the purpose of giving
notice of an intention to appeal, but
also to ascertain the presidents views
in regard to the pro-Schley legislation
in congress.
Admiral schley found out exactly
what the president thought on that
subject. Admiral Schley was particu-
larly anxious to learn what the presi-
dent would do if the bill were passed
creating the grade of vice admiral, with
three numbers in 1t for the benefit OF
Sampson, Schley and Captain Clarke of
the Oregon. 1t is said the president left
no doubt of his intention to veto any
measure for any such purpose.
! Admiral Schley told the president
that Admirals Benham and Ramsay had
taken their places as members of the
court of inquiry with minds prejudiced
against him. He said also to Mr.. Roose-
welt that he had been treated unfairly
by the navy department in not confin-
ing the points in the precept to the ac-
cusations made against Schley by Edgar
Stanton Maclay in his history of the
navy.

FINANCES IN BAD STATE.
Speech From Throne to Prussian Diet
Was Not ENCOURAGING,

Was Not Encouraging.
Berlin, Jan. S.-The speech from the
throne. read by Imperial Chancellor
Won Buelow. at the opening of the
Prussian diet today. took gloomy
view of the economic situation. 1t
pointed out that the revenue from the
state railroads in 1901 fell consider
ably short of the estimates and the
whole results of the financial year
We're disappointing. The speech an
nounced plans for legislation provid-
ing for housing of state workman and
officials earning small salaries. Con-
siderable credits We're demanded for
extension, promotion and construction
of railroads. The concluding portion
pointed to the necessity of adopting
measures against agitation in Polish
districts of eastern Prussia and de-
claring upholding the political and
economic position of the German ele-s
ment there was necessary for the self
preservation of Prussia, and promised
the government would fulfill its duty
in cultivating the German national
spirit in that region and in combat
ing with firmness all tendencies hos>

by the house will be adopted this week
without amendment, there is a move
ment on foot to amend the measure If
possible This movement is in the in
terest OF the Panama canal scheme.
Representatives Littlefield, Cannon and
Morris are in favor OF amending the
measure SO as to leave to the president
the question Of determining the route, to
provide for an amendment giving the
Panama company an opportunity to be
heard or to authorize the isthmian canal
commission to make a further investi-
cation into the project. This proposition
was advanced yesterday, but as the
house seems to be so strongly opposed to
further delay 1t is doubtful IL anything
In this direction will be done.
1t would not be surprising IL vote
should be taken today, but there Is a.
proposition to let the debate run along
a day or two before an agreement is
made to take a vote. When the meas
ure reaches the senate, however, It Is
proba BILE that some amendments may be
adopted which will at least give the
Panama company hearing.
Eduardo Lampre, secretary general OF
the Panama Canal Company, accompa-
MED by Jules Boeufve, chancellor for
the French embassy, called on Admiral
Walker ofathe isthmian canal commits
sion and advised him that he would
make formal offer Of the canal prop
critics today for $4000O,OOO Admiral
Walker explained the necessity for
making definite proposition and the.
great care which should be exercised in
which transaction involving $40, 900, 900
was involved
President Roosevelt referred to the
offer Of the Panama Canal Company at
the cabinet yesterday and stated that
nothing had as yet been submitted to
him which would justify its presenta-
tion to congress. The proposal had been
made informally to Rear Admiral Wal
ker. When the offer is formally made
the president will submit it to congress
in a special message.

the bottom of the shaft, when, without
any warning, thousands of tons of ore
came down. remembered nothing more
until heard the sound of picks and
shovels in the hands of rescuers and
their shouts. 1 was in total darkness
and my feelings can not be described.
What seemed ages to me was but min

was seventy-five feet from the place

Hundreds Of men are at the mine
eager to help in the work of rescue, but

Shenandoah, Jan.s.-The last patient
has been released from quarantine and
again Shenandoah is free from small
