Washington, Jan. 19.-Secretary Hay has received telegram from MT. Buchanan, president of the Unit ed States delegation at the Pan American congress, fully confirming the press reports that complete un- derstanding has been reached on the subject of arbitration before the congress.

It is expected that, with this last obstacle removed, such rapid progress will be made in drawing up the final protocol and affiXing the sig natures of the delegates that the congress will be able to adjourn within the present month.

WRECK ON ROCK ISLAND.
The Boiler of the Locomotive of the Denver Limited Exploded
 at Victor, Ia.
THE ENGINEER AND FIREMAN KILLED,
Two POrters and n Bra<cman Slight 1y Injured-WhiIe Every One of the Seven Coaches Was DerniIed, All of the Passengers Escaped Without Injury.

Des Moines, Ia., Jan. 19.-A special from Victor, Ia., says:
 As the Denver limited passenger train No. 5 of the Rock Island was passing this town, Saturday morning, at 5:55, the boiler of engine No. 503 exploded, resulting in the death of the engineer and fireman and slightly injuring two porters and a brake man. The killed are:
 w. Williams, of Brooklyn, engineer.
 E. Hoar, of Valley Junction, fire man.
 The accident took place within 250 feet of the depot, and the noise of the explosion aroused every person in the town. The force of the eXplo- sion threw every one of the seven coaches of the train from the track, Pullman. Fortunately the passen- gers were uninjured. Pieces of the wrecked engine were strewn around for distance of 200 feet and the boiler was found 150 feet away from the scene of the accident. The causes leading up to the explosion will never be known, owing to the death of the engineer and fireman.
 Superintendent Lawrences, of this division, arrived in a special at eight o'clock from Des Moines and imme- diately proceeded to clear away the debris. He refused to make any statement with regard to the acci' dent. The bodies of the engineer and fireman were horribly mangled and were found only short distance away.
 Train No. does not stop at Victor. Saturday morning the limited passed through the village at speed of 40 miles an hour. Three hundred feet west of the station begins a slight down grade which extends mile to Carnforth, where the Rock Island crosses Bear Creek. The accident oc- cured on this road.
 Williams, the dead engineer, had been in the service of the Rock ls- land ccmpany for 26 years and was regarded as one of the ablest in the employ of the company. Saturday mornings run was not his regular one, he having taken it to accommo- date a brother engineer. For years he was stationed at Stuart, la, but in 1897 he moved to Rock Island, where he had been stationed since.

only by an occasional gasp in the gal

So Scientists Speak of the Hewitt

Rich Young New Yorker Has Outdone
the Efforts of Edison and Tesla
Light That Is as Cheap
as Kerosene.

Once IN awhile it is given to the
sons of the rich to ride out of the
ranks and to distinguish themselves
in the field of might. Quite recently
it was young Vanderbilt inventing a
locomotive. just now it is Cooper
Hewitt, of New York, giving the
world a new light. His case is even
more spectacular than that of Van
derbilt, for the effects of his inven-
ton will be more far-reaching.
1t is now more than four years
since Peter Hewitt Cooper began his
experiments in Madison Square gar
den. He opened his laboratory in the
tower of the garden, just one floor
under the gilded statue of Diana.
The very prominence of the situa-
ton lent it a certain obscurity. He
wished not to be disturbed and no
one would think of looking for the
workshop of a scientist in the same
building that harbored horse shows,
cycle meets and spectacle plays. He
labored with that chimera which
sooner or later claims the attention
of all scientific men-the production
of light without heat. He studied
the work of Tesla, of Edison, of
Crookes. He followed their lead and
having tested their experiments he
soon made up his mind that they had
not reached the uttermost limits of
this department of electrical re-
search. He was young and time was
no object. He had abundant means,
so money did not count. Occasional
ly the societies heard of him when
he told of certain progress he had
made. To his friends he was prom
