II WAS ACCIDENTAL.
Wreck In Which 80 British Soldiers We're
Killed Resulted from Tram Jump
ing the Track.

London, April Sit has been sug-
gested that the train wreck near Bar
berton, Transvaal colony. March 80,
resulting in the death of 80 soldiers
and the wounding of As others, nearly
all of whom belonged to the Hamp-
shire regiment, was caused by the
Beers, but Lord Kitchener reports
that it was accidental. The train
was descending a steep grade when
the engine and five trucks jumped the
track and turned over.
Details of the train wreck show
that, after leaving Barberton, the
engineer lost control of the train
on the down grade and for three
miles it went at the rate of 80 miles
an hour. The engine jumped the
track at a sharp curve with five
trucks filed with soldiers. A terrific
smashup followed and the boiler of
the engine exploded. The engineer
and fireman were killed. Six of the
injured soldiers have since died.

IS CLAYTON TO COP
RumOr That the Ambassador to Mexico Has
Been Summoned to Washington to Ex-
plain Charges Against HIM.

Washington, April III. Clay Ev-
ans will probably be appointed am
bassador to Mexico. Powell Clayton,
the present ambassador, is coming
to Washington, ostensibly to attend
dinner given by his daughter. This
announcement is regarded as notice
that Mr.. Clayton has been summoned
home to explain the charges made
against him by many American resi-
dents in Mexico, that he is interested
in mining ventures there, and has
failed to look after the interests of
other Americans. The president and
secretary of state have been much
annoyed by the charges and evidence
presented against Ambassador Clay
ton.
Powell Clayton is one of the best
known republican politicians. For
years he has been national commit
teeman from Arkansas. Prior and
during the civil war he resided in
Kansas and commanded a Kansas
regiment.

THE IRRIGATION BILL.
Members of Congress Have a Conference
with President Roosevelt in Regard to
Certain Details OF the Measure.

Washington, April S.-The presi-

CATION, The conference was held at
the request of Representative Mon
dell, who has the bill in charge in
the house. Among those present
were Representative Tongue, New
lands, Tirren, Sutherland, MondelI
and Metcalf. AS a result of the con-
ference, it is said, it will not be nee
essary to. strike out section relat-
ing to state and territorial control
of the use and distribution of water.
The phraseology of the section will
be changed, but it is said that this
change will not radically alter the
section.

CUBAN RECIPROCITY BILL.
Hostile RepubIiean Members of the House
Ways and Means Committee Confer
About Defeating the Measure.

Washington, April Following the
action of the ways and means com
mittee in the Cuban reciprocity bill,
the republican members who oppose
the bill held conference in the com-
mittee room of Representative W. A.
Smith, of Michigan. About 80 mem
bers were present, representing the
various states interested In beet
sugar production. No formal action
was taken, but the discussion was in
the line of continuing the contest
on the floor of the house. 1t is ex-
pected, however, that the opposition
will be from members individually,
rather than from q compact and or
ganized opposition.
After the meeting it was claimed
by those present that about so re-
publicans would speak and vote
against the bill. The ways and
means leaders feel confident that the
bill will pass, probably by repub~
ican votes. In any event there is
said to be more than sufficient demo-
cratic support of the bill to Offset
the republican detection.
