Washington, March 11.-Lieut. Pow

minister to Mexico, has recently been
detached from. that embassy and ass
signed to the cavalry station at Fort
Myer.
Concerning this change there is a
story not told in the military records.
During the Christmas holidays young
Clayton became engaged in an argu-
ment with Mexican officer concerning
American politics in the Orient and
the Antilles. The Mexican said some
things which Lieut.. Clayton resented.
Finally the lie was passed and the en-
tire company became involved in
blows.
That night Mexican Officer. formally
waited on Lieut. Clayton ana In be-

planned that he could not fight, his
commission in the United States army
forbidding in the strongest way any
such performance. Clayton was ex-
PEELED from all the clubs in the City Of
Mexico. u vi
At the same time prominent official
intimated to the minister that his sons

NO REST For HENRY

Central Figure In Another Round OF
Entertainments.
New York, March 11.-Prince Henry
of Prussia was the central figure yes
terday in another round of entertain
ment arranged in his honor. He first
listened to a concert at the Waldorf.
Astoria hotel, largely made up Of his
favorite American songs, the coneEsir4
being arranged at his request. WhsE
that was oper he drove to the UNIV sf-
sity club to a luncheon which was not
concluded until mid afternoon. In the
evening he was the guest at dinner of
Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt and
met a large party made up of persons
of social prominence. When the prince
bade farewell TO the company at the
Vanderbilt home he went to the New
York Yacht club for an informal recep-
ton and the hour was late when he
returned to the Waldorf-Astoria for
the night. He found time between the
four main events on his program for
the day to receive a delegation repre-
senting the Commercial club of st.
Paul and several callers, and to final
ly complete the arrangements for the
last two days stay in the country and
his departure for home. He had in
tended to be present at the religious
services on the imperial yacht Hohen-
zollern in the morning. but the case of
scarlet fever which developed there
several days ago altered that plan. In
stead he remained at the hotel, arising
late and breakfasting at his leisure.

rnA1a,s-uNpLEAsAsT EXPERIENCE

Two Men Killed and an Unsucccssful
Search Is Made for n Third Corpse.
New Brunswick, N. j., March II. -
The fast freight, east-bound, due here
at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, had a
rather unusual and unpleasant expert
ence between Trenton and this city.
Two dead men were encountered, one
of them having been killed by the train
itself, and once the train was stopped
to search for a body that could not be
found. The run from Philadelphia
was uneventful. AS the train ap-
preached Princeton Junction it hit and
killed a man. The train was stopped
and the body was cared for and left
at the junction to be shipped to Tren-
ton, 1t being in Mercer county. When
near Monmouth Junction the train was
stopped at signal from the head
brakeman, who said it had hit another
man and he had seen the body hurled
into ditch. A search of the track for
mile back failed to locate the sup
posed victim. The train was again
started east, and as it neared Milestone
the glare of the headlight revealed the
body OF another man lying on the rails.
The engineer stopped and the body was
picked up and brought to this place.
It was that of Howard r. Breese of
New Brunswick. He is supposed to
have been struck by another train
while walking home from Franklin
Park 4'e is- 4

JUDGE IN A aUANDARY.

DOesn't Know What to Do With Es-
s4s tate After Paying Widow.
Fargo, N. D., March ia peculiar
sectate is to come before Judge Roberts
for adjustment, and there seems to be
no provisions IN the probate code that
exactly fit the matter. A farmer in
the county died intestate. His proper
sty is valued at s2o,0OO He left a widow
but no children. His parents are dead,
but brothers and sisters survive him.
The court is in quandry how to di-
vide the estate after the widows share
as apportioned, as the code covers every
other contingency but this. Had the
deceased either parents or children the
Smatter would have been fully covered.

BURNING DEBRIS OF THE

FL Paso, Tex, March 1.-THE list of
dead who perished in the Cannon Ball
express wreck on the Southern Pacific
will probably foot UP to at least fifty.
The names of some of the lost will new
er be known. Wounded and pinioned
in the cars, many unidentified passen-
gers were burned SO that recognition
will be impossible.
When the relief train left the scene
Of the wreck with seventy-five injured
on board, the debris was still burning.
and any effort to recover the bodies
slowly burning from being burned
would have been folly. The death list
was not compiled from names of per-
sons whose remains had been actually
recovered, but from names of missing
furnished by
Relatives or Triends
Ell Paso is filed with the wreck VIC
Tins. The hotels are overcroWded and
the hospitals have all they can care
for. A few Of the injured are in criti
cal condition, but nearly all are ex-
pected to recover.
Four thousand people awaited the
coming of the relief train at the sta
ton. The Pullman cars were crowded
with the totally disabled and the day
coaches contained those who were
slightly injured. There was hardly a
complete suit Of clothes in the entire
crowd. Nearly all had lost their hats
and the majority of those able to walk
had only blankets wrapped about them
Scarcely a man appeared but wore
bandages. Women were still hysterical
and several injured babes We're to be
seen. A dozen or more persons had
to be carried from the train on litters.
