The offer of the French company
to sell the Panama works was, Of
course, taken advantage of by the Op-
Dorents of the canal. 1t was seen
that if a division was created as be-
tween the two routes, the whole pro-
ject would be held up and the work
of construction postponed By some
sort of hypnotism the commission
was induced to reverse its former
recommendations, and with this as a
club a sentiment in favor of Panama
was created and the whole subject
left in the air.
This is the situation today, with
little hope of decisive action unless
the Nicaragua advocates make final
rally and force the Hepburn bill
through, as the people of the country
wish them to do. If the railroads are
able to prevent legislation now, they
will do it all the easier in the years
to come, when, because of combines,
mergers and consultations, they
have become still more powerful, in
fluential and arrogant.

A Trainload Of the Dangerous Fluid Spreads
Death and Destruction.
TWO HUNDRED WOUNDED % DEAD
Sheraden Yards Of the Panhandle Railroad in Phtsbuq
the Scene Of Most Disastrous Explosions and
Fires-Pursued by Flaming OIL

Pittsburg, May 13-A careful and
systematic search for the dead and
injured in the Sheraden horror re-
veals the total of % dead and 210
injured. The complete list of the in
jured may never be known, as many
were able to get away without MAX
ing known their identity. A conserv-
ative estimate by those familiar with
the situation places the number more
or less seriously hurt at not less than
800.
Pittsburg, May 12-The Sheraden
yards of the Panhandle railroad was
the scene this evening of one of the
most DISASTROUS explosions and fires
ever known in this section for many
years. A score of lives were lost
and about 200 persons were so badly
injured that, according to the judg-
ment of physicians in attendance, rs
per cent of them will die from their
injuries.
The cause of the catastrophe was
the explosion of a train of naptha
cars which were being switched in
the yard and in the switching the
rear car telescoped a car forward.
The leaking naptha ignited from a
switch light and caused the explo-
sion, which threw flames so feet

OVER 1000 DEATHS REPORTED.
On That IsIand-The Potomac Picks

Fort De France, May 13.-The
United States government tug Poto-
mac which came to Martinique from
San Juan, P. R., encountered an inky
column of smoke, which made it nee
essary for her to go five miles out
of her course. The Potomac picked
up boat containing five colored men
and one white man, whose pockets
were filed with jewelry and coin, the
former evidently stripped from the
fingers of the dead. Lieutenant Nc
Cormick, commander of the Potomac,
arrested the men and turned tnem
over to the French cruiser Suchett
for punishment.
The Potomac also brought ton
of supplies to Martinique. The Po-
tOmac will leave here today for the
Island of St. Vincent, where condl-
tions are reported to be worse. Seven
hundred dead were reported Sunday,
May II. 1t is estimated that the total
number of deaths in st. Vincent
reaches 1000.

President Roosevelt Has Issued a
Proclamation Appointing Agents.
TO RECEIVE FUNDS DONATED
BY the Generous People of the United
States for the Relief of the Suffer-
ers From the Great Catastrophe in
St. Vincent and the Island of Mar
Unique.

Washington, May 14-The follow
ing was issued from the White house
this afternoon: The president has
appointed a committee to receive
funds for the relief of the sufferers
from the recent catastrophe in st.
Vincent and Martinique. The gen
tlemen appointed from each city will
be asked to collect and receive the
funds from their localities and neigh
borhoods as eXpeditiously as possi-
bic and forward them to Cornelius
NJ. Bliss, treasurer of the New York
committee, which committee will act
as the central distributing point for
the country. The president directs
all pOstmasters throughout the coun-
try and requests the presidents of the
national banks to act as agents for
their collectors and forwarding of
contributions to Mr. Bliss at New
York. The postmasters ase also di-
Iected to report to the postmaster
general within ten days any funds
collected on this account The presi-
dent appeals to the public to contrib
ute generously for the relief of those
upon whom this appalling calamity
has fallen, and asked that the contri-
buttons be sent in as speedily as pos

half miles, and caused another explo-
sion, blowing to atoms the Seymour
hotel and the Collins house, on the
river road, and badly wrecking a
frame building near by, in which
were congregated 200 or more sports
from Pittsburg and vicinity, betting
on the races, baseball, etc. Few oc-
cupants of this building escaped in
jury, many being badly hurt.
The first car of naptha exploded
about 4:40 o'clock and the spectacle
soon attracted large crowd on the
streets lining the hills on both sides
OF and parallel to the railroad. The
second car exploded about o'clock,
but it was at 6:15 o'clock when three
more cars Of the deadly stuff went
up with roar that could be heard
for miles and the work of destruction
really began.
A torrent of flames belched forth
on each side of the railroad track,
sweeping back the terrified specta-
tors like charges of artillery and
sending shower of flames over their
heads resembling Mount Pelee on a
small scale.

Missoula, May 13.- 'I'll beat the
game yet" is the remark that some
one heard Charles Fisher make, as
he was found guilty of burglary by
jury in the district court last Sat
urday, and true to his word, he won
out. This morning at 5 o'clock he
died from the effects of morphine,
which he took about 6 or 7 o'clock
last night with suicidal intent. Fisher
was watched closely for fear he
might contrive some means of escape
before being taken to Deer Lodge
this morning to serve out his IA
years sentence. How he obtained
possession of the morphine is a mys-
terry to all who are in any way con
nected with the jail.

on board 10000 persons.

AIR SHIP BLOWS UP.
Senor Severo's Air Carriage Expodes
in Paris,

IN Paris.
Paris, May 12.-The airship belong
ing to Senor Auguste Severe, the
brazilian aeronaut, made an ascen-
sion this morning. The airshi9 eX-
vero and one of his assiGtc-t~, we're
killed by the explosion.
Senior Severo's airship. called La
Paix, had made two ascensions at
Vaugararsa AerOstatis park since
May A. Upon both occasions La PaiX
was held by a rope at height of 40
meters. In this position the airship
manuevered for short time success
fully. La Paix was not unlike San
tos-Dumont's airships in appearance,
but differed from them in many de-
tails. The gas capacity of La PaiX
was nearly four times greater than
that of Santos-Dumont's balloons. 1t
had three main propellers and two
smaller ones, used for steering and
in ascending and descending. The
two petroleum motors of La Paix
were of "a and 16 horse power re-
spectively. After the ascension May
4, Senor Severe said he would not
make another trial until there was
perfectly fair weather, and that he
would then attempt to extend his
flight. Upon this occasion, Senor Sc
vero and two assistants went UP in
-he airship.
Senor Auguste Severe has occupied
himself with the problem of air fly
ing for more than 20 years. In 1881
he carried out some interesting steer
able kite experiments in Brazil. In
1894 he constructed a large steerable
balloon. but the results with this were
not satisfactory.

Railway Lobby Killed 1t.

Governor Hunt of Idaho, who has
just returned from the national capi-
tai, is quoted as saying that from all
he could learn there the isthmian
canal bill is so dead that 1t cannot
be brought to life, the influence of
the railways having been sufficient
to lay the measure away indefinitely,
This is disappointing, but not sur
prising. Although the Hepburn Mica
ragua bill passed the house early in
the session by a practically unani-
nous vote, and was acceptable to the
majority of the people of the coun-
try, it was we'll known that the trans
continental roads would put every
obstacle in the way of it's passage in
the senate A strong lobby has been
at work through the winter, and in
spite of the strenuous efforts of Sen
ator Morgan and other real friends of
the canal project, it is feared that
final action may be postponed until
another session of congress.
There is no reason why the house
bill should not have been passed by
the senate within 80 days of it's re-
port of the canal commission, which
has made a thorough investigation of
routes and was unanimously in favor
of a waterway by Nicaragua. The
country at large was satisfied with
that route and had indorsed it repeat
edly in conventions of both parties.
To pass the Hepburn bill would have
been to follow out the popular man
date.
