BLOWN Up?
Belief That a British Trans
port Has Been Exploded
or Foundered.

New Orleans, Jan. 15.-It is believed in
shipping circles here that British trans
port, laden with American mules bound
for South Africa, has been either inter-
cepted and blown up by a Boer spa in
the Gulf Of Mexico, or has foundered. A
schooner arriving on the lower coast re-
ports hundreds Of dead mules floating for
a distance of thirty miles. This news
has greatly stirred shippers here, who fear
that further desperate attempts will be
made to stop the export of mules to Cape
Town.
The more conservative elements at
tribute, the floating carcasses to a disas-
ter to one of the British vessels during
the storms that have been raging near the
coast this week.
Dispatches from Quintana, Texas, which
is only a short distance south of Port
Eads, says that the schooner Olga has
put in Matagorda bay to shelter from the
fierce gale blowing on the gulf, and that
Captain George Peterson reports having
seen long rows of dead cattle and mules
floating in the water. He describes the
range of the dead stock as covering at
least forty miles.
Matthew Warmer of the Elder Demp-
ster Steamship company, which furnishes
many of the British transports, states that
all their transports have been accounted
for except one sailing from here three
days ago. They had heard nothing from
her.
The recent attempt to blow UP the
British transport Mechanician in this
port is recalled by those persons who In
cline to the opinion that British trans
port has been blown up. The attempt to
destroy the Mechanician was charged to
Boer agents.

Proposition Comprising One
Only 80 Miles Long.
THROUGH THE ANDES
Canal From Gulf Of San Bias to
Pacific Ocean.
MOUNTAIN TUNNEL.
This Is to BE Equipped With Troll
ley Appliance to Tow the
Vessels.

New York, Jan. 15.-Plans for a new
day before the senate committee on canals
by General Edward Nv. Serrell for the
American Isthmus Canal company and the
Isthmus company, both corporations Of
New Jersey. The route for the canal
proposed is from the Gulf Of San Bias to
the Pacific ocean, behind the Pearl
islands, and is called the Mandigo route.
It will be proposed that the company
build the work under the supervision and
protection of the, government without any
cost to the United States, which will be
asked to guarantee the bonds Of the COM
pany. The company will propose that the
government have the use of the canal free
of charge for all government vessels, and
if at any time the company does not do
as agreed the government shall take pos
session of the canal. The company asserts
that it has secured right Of way.
The newly suggested route is less than
thirty miles long and therefore is shorter
than any other so far proposed. No en-
cheering difficulties are encountered, It's
supporters say, until a spur Of the Andes
is reached. This mountain chain must
be pierced by. tunnel seven miles long
and it will be 200 feet high, $50 feet wide
and deep enough for the largest ship
which would be going through the canal
In the tunnel trolley appliance would
tow the ships. General serrell, who is at
the head of the project. was engineer OF
the Panarra railroad and has acted as
engineer for the government.

"For the purposes of this great con-

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 15.-Blown seventy

months in a hospital, eight bones broken,
twenty-seven cuts on head and body and
severely scaldedd by escaping steam is
the story which David W. Fleming is to-

Mr.. Fleming is freight conductor on
the Union Pacific and was riding with the
engineer of fast freight when off duty.
The engine was one of the latest 1900
class, the largest on the Union Pacific
system, and was coming east with a
short train. Mr.. Fleming tells his eX-
perienCe in these words:

seeing them while in the air. They fell with

running up to help me 1 told him to go to

he told me they were dead l felt no uneasi-

Presently l began to get cold. Then be-
came thirsty. Then 1 thought the trail,
would catch On fire and got up and moved
some distance. 1t was two hours before tn.
physicians arrived and during that time
just kept saying to myself, Il must not die
l must live for my Children and I firmly
believe that is what kept me alive. 1 was

It was just eighty days before 1 could leave

Advantage Thus Far Is With
the State.
WALL STREET OPINION
At Last en- Expression There Favor-
ing the Prosecution.
COMMON SENSE AND THE Law
State of Minnesota Starts the Litisa-
ton With Points in It's
Favor.

Special to The Journal.
New York, JAM; 15-The Wall Street
Journal says:
. An impression exists that the United
States supreme court will decide it has
jurisdiction in the Securities case. Hence
the main question comes on the law in
the case as it has SO far been established.
The decision of the supreme court in the
trans Missouri case seems to have an inn
portant bearing on this case.
The paper quotes extracts from the
courts decision in the case referred to
and then says:
1T seems clear that the supreme court
has decided that the antitrust act APP
plies to railways and that it considers
railway combination which has the eff
roads violation of the antitrust act.
The issue in the Securities case, there
fore, will turn upon whether common
ownership of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern is shutting off competition
between the two companies It will be
SAID on one side that the Securities is a
holding company which has nothing to
do with questions of management; that
the boards of directors of the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern are not COM
| posed OF the same persons; that each
has its own officers and the management
is entirely Independent.
1t will be shown, on the other side,
that while this is true, yet the directors
and officers are in each case agents of the
| owners and each must carry out the in
structions Of those who own both proper
ties. Hence, the apparent distinctions
are not real distinctions. It is a case
| where the common sense of the situation
! is very clear. Nobody would doubt at all
what the effect of joint ownership of the
two properties would be, but common
! sense and legal decisions are not neces-
! sarily the same thing, because some de-
clslons are hampered by written statutes.
It is possible to obey the letter of the law
while violating its spirit. 1t would be very
unsafe to predict what the decision of the
/ supreme court will be in the Securities
case, but it can be said that the state Of
Minnesota will start the litigation with
! points in it's favor
