CANAL PROTOCOL
bian Minister for Modification
Again Presented.

Washington, April 19.-The Colom-
bian canal protocol, which was deliv-
cred at the state department on April
and afterward recalled by Minister
Concha for notifications, was again
presented to Secretary Hay Friday.
The proposal as to price is set out
as follows: One year after the ex-
change of notifications of a treaty,
the United States shall pay Colombia
the lump sum of 100000. This figure
will represent IA years rental, at $780,
900 year. AT the end of the IA years
period the price which the United
States shall pay each year is to be
fixed by mutual consent of the two
countries. In case the parties cannot
agree upon sum, it will be left to an
arbitrator selected between the two
governments. The protocol provides
for the appointment of joint COM
mission representing Colombia and
the United States, which will arrange
and provide for all matters pertain
ing to the administration of affairs
within the proposed canal belt, includ-
ing the membership of the mixed tri-
bunals for the administration of JUS
tice and other steps necessary to the
Joint occupation of the belt.

TAKE POSSESSION OF DALLAS.
in the Texas City-Thousands Of
Visitors Present.

Dallas, Tex, April 23-With the
confederate reunion officially 10 hours
old and unofficially considerably older,
it is estimated that there are $4,000
visitors in Dallas. From morning till
late at night the streets were thronged
and it is said by men in a position to
base close calculation that there were
$4,000 visitors at the camp in the fair
grounds alone. An additional influx
of visitors is expected to-day, the at
traction being the Kaliphs parade. An
immense crowd was present at night
at the ball given c, the camp by the
Sons of Veterans.
The crush of visitors was the largest
in the history of Dallas. 1t was esti-
mated in the morning that $4,000 Wis
itors were in the city, while inforlna-
tion from the railroads was that this
number would be swelled to $4,000 at
least.
The Kaliph and his gorgeous sub
iects, followed by carriages containing
Gen. Gordon and other distinguished
veterans, Gov. Heard of Louisiana and
Gov. Sayers of Texas, by bands and
militiamen and trumpeters, proceed
ed through the streets to the official
reviewing stand near the postoffice.
Here Mayor Cabell, in grotesquely
sober speech, deferentially presented
an immense gilded key to "His Males
ty." The Ralph, by means of an in
terpreter, in turn handed the key to
Gen. Gordon, thus giving that veteran
the suzerainty of the city.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Holds Reserve Clause In National
League Contracts Is Valid.

Philadelphia, April 22.-The. SUI
preme court Monday reversed the de-
cision of the court of common pleas
No. 5, in the case of Napoleon La Joie
vs.. the Philadelphia National League
Baseball club. This decision upholds
the validity of the reserve clause in
the National League contracts. La
Joie, who formerly played second base
for the National League club in this
city, signed with the Philadelphia
American League club for the season
of 1901 and. 1902. The Philadelphia
Baseball club, through Treasurer
John l. Rogers, entered suit to re-
strain La Joie from playing with the
American League. The lower court
held that the reserve clause was lille
gal, and Col. Rogers carried the case
to the supreme court, where the de-
cision was reversed. If this decision
stands it will affect all players who
were subject to the reserve rule and
who are now playing with the Amer
lean League.

CITIES DESTROYED.
Have Killed Fully Five Hum
dred Persons.

Guatemala, April 21.-The three
earthquakes of Friday night reduced
to ruins Quesaltenango, the second
city of Guatemala, and having $4,000
inhabitants, and completely destroyed
the town of Amatitlan. Both of these
towns were capitals of the depart
ments bearing the same name. The
disaster is greater than the first re-
ports led the public here to believe.
News of the destruction, which ex-
tended 100 miles along the western
coast of the republic, is coming slowly,
because all telegraph wires are down.
1t is known that Amatitlan exists no
more as town, the seismic disturb
ance having been so great. The in
habitants is, those of the 10000
residents who escaped death in the
( cataclysm-are camping in the open
air for safety, not daring to return to
the ruined confines of the town. Some
of the inhabitants are building tenn
porary mud huts. 1t is said 500 lives
were lost.

OCEAN LINERS UNITE.
A Combination of the Six Leading
Transatlantic Companies
Is Effected

London, April ia British, Amer
lean and German shipping combina-
ton is now definitely arranged. 1t
involves no change of flag and little
change in management. The White
Star, Dominion and Leyland lines will
run under the British flag, and the
Atlantic Transport, the American and
the Red Star lines under the American
flag. The joint control of the ANAL
gamated companies will remain in the
hands of the same men who guide
the separate entities. The Hamburg
American and the North German
Lloyd lines enter by agreement a har-
monious community of interests while
maintaining their identity and nation
ality.

Reeves Pardoned

Havana, April 23.-Gov. Gen. Wood
issued an order Tuesday pardoning
w. H. Reeves, who was recently SEN
fenced to ten years imprisonment
and to pay fine of $55,516 for com
plicity in the Cuban postal frauds.
Reeves was liberated at once. Gen.
Wood says he pardoncd Reeves be-
cause he was witness for the state.
The order pardoning him did not
come as surprise, for it has been
generally understood ever since Estes
G. Rathbone was first accused of con-
nection with the postal frauds, that
Reeves had been promised immunity
by the military government.

Breeze and wife and son, and son of
Archie M. Allen, of Pittsburg. Capt.
Phillips says 20 or 25 of the passengers
are missing and the same number of
the crew.
Death List Grows.
Cairo, ILL.,, April 22.-After search
ing two days the death roll of the
burned steamer City of Pittsburg
has not been reduced any from the
first reports. OF the las people on
the boat when it burned Sunday
morning about half are still missing,
and no further hope for them is ex-
pressed. The books and valuables
of the boat, crew and passengers are
still in the ruins. The wreck is
above water and still smoldering.
Owing to the heated condition of the
hull, search for those cremated in it
has not been begun and very few of
the bodies of those who are drowned
have been recovered, owing to the
swift current at the scene of the
disaster.
Sensational reports have been cir
culated about an alleged quarrel be-
tween the officers of the steamer and
the routsabouts and that the fire may
have been of incendiary origin, but no
credence is given to these reports.
Many stories have been told by sur
vivors of their thrilling experiences in
escaping from the burning decks and
some of them are Of most startling
character. The victims were from
points along the Ohio valley and they
have left trail of bereavement from
Pittsburg to the Mississippi.
Death List May Reach 100.
a careful estimate by those who
were aboard the City of Pittsburg puts
the loss of life at 63 as the lowest, and
the opinion of some who have kept q
tab on the missing is that the list will
approximate 100. There is no means
OF obtaining the exact figures, as the
register of passengers and the list of
the crew were burned, and Purser
Dana Scott and others rely on their
memories in making the estimate. OF
this appalling death list only three
bodies have been recovered and identi-
fed.

Chicago, April ss.-Lying still in
death, their bodies in very badly
decomposed condition and gnawed al
most beyond recognition by rats, in a
howell at 3413 South State street, which
in life they had called home, the police
Monday night found George Butler, a
negro, his wife and their six children,
ranging in age from six months to 10
years. The wife and children were I'M
dressed, and had apparently retired,
while Butler had only removed his
coat. Upon the table sat a half-flled
can of salmon and nearby a bottle
which contained some drug which the
police think is strychnine. The police
believe that Butler after poisoning
the salmon had offered it to his wife
and children, and after they ate greed
lily, had then eaten enough to kill him

INVESTIGATING DISASTER.
No Effort Made to Recover Bodies of
Those Who Persisted in the
River Horror.


Cairo, ILL.,, April s3.-Nothing fur
ther has developed as to the disaster
of Sunday. The underwriters are
here and will go up to the wreck.
No more bodies have been discov-
cred. Practically nothing has been
done to search the wreck for bodies.
1t is fair to assume that the total
number on board at the time of the
fire, passengers and crew, from all
reliable statistics given from men,
DRY by officers was 145 and it is
known that IS were saved, which
would leave 70 to be accounted for.
The corrected list of the lost given
is so, and there must be in the wreck
or the river 20 people.

FIRE HORROR ON
A RIVER BOAT.
Steamer City of Pittsburg Is Burned to Waters
Edge Near Cairo. ILL.,, and Scores Perish by
Fire or Water---Late Reports Do Not
Lower Estimates of the Dead

Cairo, ILL.,, April 21.-The side-wheel
steamer City of Pittsburg, en- route
from Cincinnati to Memphis, was
burned to the waters edge early
Sunday morning at Turner's Land
ing, near Olmstead, ILL.,, II miles
from Mound City, ILL.,, and "a miles
from this city. The early reports
stated that IS lives were lost, and
that many were badly burned and
otherwise injured, but the list of
casualties is not yet definitely de-
termined.
Passengers in Panic.
Most of the passengers were still
in bed when Second Clerk Oliver
Phillips gave the alarm. The engin-
GERS at once started ell the pumping
engines. while the crew brought all
the hose into play. Amid the
streams of water on all sides, the
flames from the lower deck and
dense clouds of smoke, the passen-
gers rushed from their staterooms
and frightful panic ensued. The

not appease the terror-stricken
crowds that interfered with those
throwing water on the flames as we'll
as with those working with the life
boats. Few could adjust life pre-
servers or do anything else for
themselves. The smoke was sitting.
Great clouds foated through the
blazing steamer, choking the passen-
gers and adding to the terror.
Drowned or Burned.
The burning steamer was quickly
headed to the bank, but passengers
had to jump off the stern and try to
swim ashore through the swift cur
rent. Many were drowned. Many also
persisted in the flames. Only one yawl
was saved without ores, and the wom-
en- were taken off. About 20 or 80 were
taken off in the yawl. The rest were
picked up out of the water. Help, ex-
cept from people living nearby, did
not arrive until $3.50 Sunday after
noon, and passengers, with only night
clothes, and without food, suffered ter
ribly. Among the missing is child
of Pilot Al Pritchard, and Clay
