slant the scene was one beyond de-
scription. The air was superheated Il
a degree impossible for human life
to exist in. Those nearest the eNplod'

ground.
The clothing of those farther away
was soon afire, and the victims raj
frantically about. tearing their burn
ing garments from their bodies anc
screaming for help.
In the meantime the fire had spread
to other cars and in an incredibly shor'
time the entire yard was ablaZe. Sew
enty cars were quickly burned and the
flames rapidly spread to scores of Other
cars. The heat was so intense thai
firemen were unable to get anywhere
near the scene.
The burning oil entered what is
known as the Cork Run sewer, anC
came out one and one-half miles be-
low, where another fire was started.
The burning oil was carried thru

HILL ADMITS DEFEAT.
Railway Masnate Believes the Merger
Suit Will Win.

Washington, May 13.-James j. Hill,
the railway king, admits that he is
beaten in the litigation against the
Northern Securities company, ana Is
preparing a line of retreat. 1t is con-
ceded by his legal advisers that the
federal suits will probably be success
full. ard he therefore must arrange the
business of the three railroads in
volved so that no great damage VIII
be done the properties. 1t is the pres
ent intention to prepare for THIS chahse
gradually, making some little OIL ~
public in an authoritative way from
time to time, and thus try to AVOID the
shock which would come if it were an
nounced that the Northern Securities
company was invalid, without any
means being known for the control OF
the systems by other means.
1t is proposed to make the Burling-
ton system the chief one of the three
great railroads, with st. Louis as the
center of the western and southwest
ern business.
Last winter the legislature of the
state Of Iowa passed law under which
the Burlington got a new charter. Inc
Burlington will not attempt to absorb
the Great Northern or the Northern
Pacific, but the last two will work as
closely under the direction of the other
system as the charter and the laws OF
the states will permit. The brains of
the management of the three great
lines will be vested in the general Of
fees Of the Burlington. and the policies
and officers of the other lines will be
,f oh nff
of that system.
The entire business of arranging for
Eastern and outside traffic business
will BIZ in the hands of the Burlington
At the same time Hill will prepare
for the great battle which he consid-
ers inevitable between the great trans
continental lines of the south and those
of the north: in other words, for war
to the death between the Hill and Har-
riman combines The freight and pas
senger business of the northwest viii!
be managed from Chicago from the
Burlington offices, but the power of the
Burlington will be rapidly extended to
the south, and ST. Louis will be made
a very important point, looking after
the entire northwestern business for
the whole south and southwest. I'M
proved connections and extensions are
to be made soon ,or Denver and Slat
Lake.
Hill wants to he in a position to
make big fight for the southern and
southwestern business for his lines
and to divert much of this traffic to
the northern tralscontinental lines.
He says that this struggle can not be
put eff very long and he will make
ready from the st. Louis headquart-
ers to- fight the Htrriman syndicate.
