Wichita, Kan. Jan. IA freight
train running 20 miles an hour on the
Okene, o. T., branch of the Rock ISL
and road crashed into a work train
which. was standing on siding at
Okene at o'clock yesterday morn
ing and killed Bridge Foreman H. K.
Bear of this city and Carpenter E. A.
Colby of Galva, Kan. The men in the
work car were buried under the debris
which caught fire and threatened to

by herculean efforts saved them. The
injured are Brakeman Frank Hoop,
Fireman James Casey and Engineer
John Yeaton of the freight train and
four men on the work train named
Mitchell, Jackson, Burke and Potter.

throwing of the switch by some I'M
known person. H. K. Bear, the dead
foreman, had half interest in the
drug store of G. L. Lease of this city,
former husband of Mary E. Lease.

Chicago, Jan. 14.-Owing to the Sc

of the railroads centering in Chicago

the employees operating passenger

circulars so far issued Is the same
and although the letters cannot be
considered as reprimands, they are
heart to heart talks" which will un-
doubtedly result in extraordinary p, !
cautions being observed. In general,
the circulars call attention to the
wrecks occurring recently and sug-
gest that in the majority of the cases
an exercise of extraordinary precau-
tion and strict attention to orders
and duty would have averted the dis

Caused by the Question of the Presi
Dental Succession

Dental Succession.
Buenos Ayres, Jan. 1.-THE ru-
mors circulated here yesterday of a
revolution in the republic of Para
quay turn out to be well founded. The
revolt which broke out at Assumption
the capital, was caused by the ques-
tion of the presidential succession,
the term of President Aceval expir-
ing in November of this year.
The revolutionary junta was COM
posed of General Caballero, General
Escobar, Colonel ]. A. Escurra, the
minister of war; Senor Mario, cabi-
net minister and Senator Freitas.
President Aceval resigned the presi-
dency and congress accepted his resig-
nation.
A collision occurred in the chamber
of deputies, during which Senator
Facando Insfran, president of the hy-
gienic council, was killed and General
Caballero, Senators Miguel and Cor
balan and Deputy Fernando Carreras
were severely wounded.
The congress of Paraguay has placed
the reins of government in the hands
of the vice president, Senor Hector
Cervallo. Great excitement prevails at
Assumption.

KNOX REVIEWS scHLEY CASE
Attorney General Will Pass Upon Al.
legged lIIeqaIities.


Washington, Jan. 10.-The Post
says: THE case of Rear Admiral
Schley is now being considered by the
attorney general for the purpose of
discovering whether there was any ille-
gality in connection with the court of
inquiry.
1t is understood that at the recent
conference between the president and
Rear Admiral Schley the lated point
ed out some alleged violations of law
in regard to the court and these mat
ters have been deemed worthy of ex-
animation.
The attorney general is not to pass
upon the merits of the case, but will
deal solely with it's legal phase. If
he shall find that the court was prop
erly constituted. that the precept was
legally drawn and that the rules of
law were followed, as to the evidence,
1t will then be within the province
of the president to consider the case
upon it's merits. If the attorney gen.
eral decides that there were illegali-
ties, as claimed by Admiral Schley,
the verdict of the court would be vita
ted. 1t is understood that Admiral
Schley's future course concerning a
formal appeal in writing to the presi-
dent will depend largely on the de-
cision of the attorney general

CANAL BILLPASSED
ONLY TWO vc1Es AGAINST THE
NIcARAGUAN MEASURE.


ton of Rival Route Is Voted Down.
Aggregate Cost of Canal Is Fixed at
s1so,oooooo.
Washington. Jan. 10.-The Hepburn
Nicaraguan canal bill passed the
house late yesterday afternoon by
practically a unanimous vote. Only
two members out of 80 Voted against
it. Fletcher (Rep., Minn.) and Lassi-
ter (Dem., Va.) were the two voting
in the negative. The opposition to
committing the government to the
Nicaraguan route attempted to secure
amendments to lodge with the presi-
dent the discretionary power to pur-
chase and complete the Panama canal
if it could be purchased for $40,000,-
600. The test came on the first vote.
when the advocates of an alternative
route polled 102, against 17O votes.
At each succeeding vote their
strength dwindled until Cannon Ills.) j,
under whose leadership the fight was
made, was unable to get the yeas and
nays on motion to recommit. All
other amendments failed and the bill
passed exactly as it came from the
committee. None of the votes except
that on the final passage of the bill
was a record vote.
The debate which preceded the TAX
ing of final vote was made memorable
by clash between Hepburn, the au-
thor of the bill, and Cannon, chair
man of the appropriations committee.
On several previous occasions they
have measured swords over canal leg
islatfon.
Two years ago similar bill was
passed by vote of 224 to &c. The
bill as passed yesterday authorized
the president to secure from the
states of Costa Rica and Nicaragua,
in behalf of the United States, such
portion of the territory belonging
to said states as may be desirable and
necessary to eXcavate, construct and
protect a canal suitable to the wants
of modern navigation and commerce
and appropriates such a sum as is
made necessary to secure the control
of said territory.
Section authorizes the president,
after securing control of the needed
territory, to authorize the secretary
of war to construct such canal from
the Caribbean sea at point near
Greytown, in Nicaragua, by way OF
Lake Nicaragua, to point on the Pa
cif1c ocean, near Brito and also to con.
struct proper harbors at the termini
of said canal and to make necessary
provisions for the defense of the canal
and harbors
Sections 8 and 4 authorize the presi
| dent to make such surveys and EN-.
ploy such persons in constructing the
and directs that in the construction
| of the canal the river San Juan and
Lake Nicaragua shall be used as fa1
| as they are available.
| Section authorizes the president
| to guarantee to the states of Costa
Rice and Nicaragua the use of the
canal and harbors upon terms to be
| agreed upon for all vessels owned by
said states and by citizens thereof.
| The last section makes a present
| appropriation of 31O0O0,OOO to carry on
this work and authorizes the secretary
of war to enter into proper contracts
| for material and work as may be
! deemed necessary therefor, such work
and material to be paid for as appro
priations may be made from time tc

gate cost at s1SO,OOO,O 900, to be drawn
