PEOPLE ARE ROASTED ALIVE
Numerous Victims of Explosion Killed and
Others Survive in Agony. =
RAILROAD YARDS A MASS OF FLAMES
Naphtha OIL Explodes Setting Fire TO
Cars and Spreading Through
Sewers to other Parts
of City.

PITTsBURG, May IL. The sheraden
yards of the Panhandle road, a few miles
from this city, Is a mass of burning cars,
naphtha oil and merchandise. Many lives
have been lost and many others will die
from injuries received.
The cause OF the catastrophe from the
meager reports received was the explo-
sion Of a nsphtha car, brought out by a
leak In the car communicating to q switch
light nearby. This explosion occurred
about $3.50 p. m. Crowds of people men.
women and children. to the number OF
thousands quickly gathered to look at the
fire and were lined about the yard on the
hillsides
When all dsnger had apparently passed
a second explosion Of napbtha followed, far
worse than the first. The flames from the
second car were thrown 500 feet in the
air. completely enveloplng the onlookers.
In an instant the air was superheated to a
degree impossible for human life to .ex
ist in. Those nearest the exploded cars
were stricken and fell to the ground.
victims Become Frantic.
The clothing OF those farther away was
soon aire and the victims ran frantically
about, tearing their burning garments from
their bodies and screaming for help In
cars and in an incredibly short time the
entire yard was ablaze. 1t Is estimated
that seventy cars have been burned and
the flames are still in possession, feed
ing on scores Of other cars.
The burning oil is said to have entered
what Is known as Cork Run sewer and
came out one and one-half miles below
where another fire is now burning.
The burning oil was carried through the
sewer to distant parts of the district, one
of the results being an explosion In a pool
room at McKees Rocks. where hundreds
of men were gathered. Four men are re-
ported killed at this point.
Hard to Get Facts.
The intense excitement and confusion in
cident to the explosion make 1t impossible
to get anything like a reliable estimate Of
the dead and injured, but from some OF
those who escaped II is learned that hum
dreds were lying around on the ground in
all conditions of injury and death. All the
ambulances from this city and Allegheny,
together with many physicians, were
quickly started for the scene and at the
earliest possible moment the victims were
brought to the city. All of the hospitals
were crowded with writhing patients and
the morgue is full to overfowing
Because of the burning of all telegraph
and telephone wires near the scene Of the
accident news must be carried by messen-
ger, making definite news concerning the
catastrophe hard to get. Street cars are
blocked q long distance from Sheraden and
the Panhandle railroad tracks are COM
pletely blocked.

CANADIAN TRADE

The bad results of our failure to arrange
reciprocity with Canada continue to ap-
pear. Sir Wilfrid Laurier ia now in
France endeavoring to arrange a trade
aereen ent with that republic which will
give Canadian products a marked ad-
vantage over ours in the French mar
ket. an advantage we could have
enjoyed by virtue Of the Kasson
treaty had it not been for the
objections Of some trivial domestic
Industries and the unwarranted objection
of the great lumber industry. A line Of
subsidized steamers is also to be estab-
lished between France and Canada. Our
refusal to treat Canada fairly led to the
British preferential tariff and then to the
line Of subsidized steamers between Eng
land and Canada, about to be established.
Yet so great are our natural advantages
that our exports to Canada continue to
increase with leaps and bounds. We
ought to take steps to buttress our nat
ural advantages before the Canadians
have succeeded in constructing artificial
trade regulations and diversions that will
render them useless.
