New York's Tunnel Horror.

Jerome began an inquiry into the tun-
mel disaster to-day. A number of wit
nesses were examined, including the
trainmen on the wrecked trains. and
Division superintendent Franklin
They all refused to discuss their tes-
timony.
At the conclusion of the investiga-
ton, District Attorney Jerome an
nounced that as far as the evidence
which is to be submitted to the coro-
ner at the inquest is concerned, the
investigation has practically been con-
cluded. He added, however, that the
investigation will be carried on for
some time yet and that more witnesses
will be examined this week He de-
clined to comment on the evidence. He
admitted that the present grand jury
may be asked to act in the matter. All
the evidence went to show that the
engineer was a careful man and of
good reputation. both as a citizen and
an employe. 1t was learned though that
Wischow passed. his examination as
. engineer only last August; before that
he was fireman. OF late he had been
acting as engineer at intervals Wis
chow was said to be in a state of nerv-

District Attorney Jerome said that he
wished his investigation TO be as thor
ough as possible, and that he would
confer with Coroner Scholer to that
end.

that the engineer only was at fault
It is possible that the railroad COM
pany did not provide the engineer with

ARMY AS A MORAL FORCE.
Secretary Root Explains sftuatiou
In Philippines.

washington, Jan. 9.--Secretary Root
gave an interesting exposition Of the
condition OF affairs in the Philippines
together with the outlook for the ter
mination of military rule by civil rule,
In the course OF hearing to-day be-
fore the Committee on Military Af-
fairs Of the House of Representatives.
The discussion OF the Philippine con-
ditions was brought out by question
by Mr.. Hay OF Virginia, as to whether
civil government could be maintained
In the islands without the presence OF
the army. In reply. Mr.. Root stated
that the army was necessary as
moral force TO maintain the civil ad-
ministration now established. One Of
the main causes, he said why there had
not been more progress in the Phil
ippines, was that the Spooner amend
ment passed by Congress last year and
restricting the grant Of franchises. had
the effect of preventing the Investment
OF capital and the consequent employ
ment OF labor. Many people were out
of work, and many Of these became
conspirators simply because they were
idle. The Secretary instanced the fact
that, although rice was one of the main
products of the Philippines. yet about
$5.000,000 had to be imported to the ISL
ands last year.

SUFFRAGE IN VIRGINIA.
Convention Has Gotten Down TO
choice of Two Plans.

Richmond. Va, Jan. 9.-The consti-
tutional convention to-day took a final
vote on the judiciary ordinance Of the
constitution and 1t was adopted and
referred TO the Committee on Final
Revision. There was two hours flibus-
tcring TO prevent getting a vote on
the question of election of Supreme
Court judges by the people, and 1t was
successful.
The outlook for a speedy settlement
of the suffrage question seems to be
growing brighter.
Attorney General Anderson on the
part OF the minority Of the Suffrage
Committee announced that they had
determined to withdraw their plan and
offer that of Senator Glass as a sub
stitute for that of the majority. This
brings the fight in the Democratic con-
ference down to two. plans, TO which
amendments win be offered with the
view to perfectlng them and then the
vote viii be taken.

SUGAR GROWERS PROTEST.
Louisiana Planters Appeal to Con-
gress Against Concessions 10
Cuba.

New Orleans, Jan. 9.-Many Louis
lana cane sugar growers, in session
here to-day, unanimously adopted
protest to Congress against the pro-
posed concession to the producers OF
cane sugar in the Island of Cuba, In
part as follows:
Though the United States has given
to Cuba a freedom for which she was
formerly fighting hopelessly, the Gu
bans now desire that they shall be
helped by the remission, by our gov
eminent, of the sugar duties levied
under the Dingley tariff. We protest,
because this method singles us out
from all the sons of our American
country, as the victims whose sub
stance is to enrich the canefields OF
Cuba.
1--WE protest against their demands
because they will result in establishing
a rate of tariff on agricultural prod
ucts from Cuba for all time, and which
will continue to injure us so long as
the tariff shall last.
1--WE trust that consideration of this
protest will prevent any governmental
action on the lines laid down by the
Cuban delegates; we trust so in our
interests as we'll as in those of our
fellow American beet sugar producers.
our vegetable and fruit growers and
our tobacco planters OF the United
States"
Copies of the protest were ordered
sent to President Roosevelt and to
Congress- sf.

posftfou.

cial measure Of Importance to be re-
ported to the House is that agreed
upon to-day by the Committee on

viding for the maintenance OF the legal
tender silver dollar at parity with gold
and for the increase OF the subsidiary
silver coinage. The measure was in
troduced by Representative Hill of
Connecticut.
Al the meeting Of the committee to-
day Mr.. Hill urged immediate action
in order that the bill might be brought
before the House at an early date.
This was opposed by the Democratic
members who were against the bill on
its merits and who in particular pro-
tested against what they alleged to be
undue haste. The committee then or
dered the bill reported, the vote being
on party lines. The bill authorizes the
coinage of subsidiary silver coin with
out regard to limit and as public nee
essity may require. The most impor-
tant feature Of the bill. for the parity
of gold and silver dollars, Is as fol-
lows:
1.-THE Secretary OF the Treasury is
hereby directed to maintain at all
times at parity with gold the legal
tender silver dollars remaining out
standing; and to that end he is hereby
directed 10 exchange gold for legal
tender silver dollars when presented

lars or any multiple thereof; and all
provisions of law for the use of main
tenance Of the reserve fund In the
Treasury relating 10 United States
notes are. in the discretion OF the Sec
rotary OF the Treasury hereby made
