Company Doing All In Its Power for
Passengers.

Houston, Texas, March S;-Dr. Turn
err, the chief surgeon of the Southern
Pacific railroad at Ell Paso, advises the
general headquarters here that all
who were injured in the wreck near
MaXon, Texas, Friday morning, will

velopments as to the cause of the
wreck. An inquiry has been started
and General Manager Van Week is

or has since been given to them.

HOUSE CUBAN DEADLOCK
CLAIMS OF SUPPORTERS OF DIFF
FERENT PLANS.
Be Able to Control Situation But
Still Afraid TO Vote.

Washington, March Tt is impos-
sible to tell which side of the Cuban
question has a majority Of the house
republicans. Four conferences have
been held and another will take place.
Both sides are claiming victory, but
it is perfectly clear to disinterested
o~bserverers that no definite poll has
been made or can be made.
Tawney thinks he has 10 republi-
can members committed to his plan.
Judge Morris thinks he has at least
100. The other factions claim equal
strength. The unwillingness to come
to a vote in conference and the fact
that another conference is to be held
shows better than any partizan claims
how evenly balanced the contending
forces are and how impossible it is to
know what the ultimate result will be.
Much bitterness has been stirred up
between republican members of the
ways and means committee and be-
tween republicans generally on the
floor. and threats have been made
which, if they are carried out, might
endanger the success Of any plan
the caucus might endorse, but it is
not probable that any considerable
number of republican members will
refuse to be bound by the action Of
the conference.

TWO EAGLES.
Suggestion That Germany and United
States Combine.

Berlin. March THE Kreuz Zeitung
complains that telegraphic communi-
cation between Germany and the
United States is invariably by way Of
London. where news is colOred against
Germany. This, it says, was at the
root Of the anti-German sentiment
recently prevailing in the , United
States. The paper declares that
VOLTS agency, a German news gath
ering concern, is entirely influenced
by the Reuter- Telegram company, a
British news agency, which is invaria-
bly, hostile to Germany. 1t adds:
"This evil must be stopped-The
Wolff agency must cease it's connec
ton with the Reuter- company. It
must telegraph from America direct
and not permit it's news to filter
through English hands,"
The Kreuz Zeitung shares the pre-
valent dread of the supposed impend-
ing Zollverein between Great Britain
and her colonies, and says that if the
zollverein assumes definite shape. Ger
many and the United States may pos
sibly be obliged to draw closer to-
gether for mutual economic defense.
1t adds that in political affairs, also,
friendly cooperation against the Eng
lish under certain circumstances is
conceivable.

this quick perception of a situation as

lined with leniency. that acts as a saw

The world would be better and hap.

with authority over his fellows had
this peculiar sympathy with wit, which
makes 1t impossible for one to be a
Eigot and a tyrant. Humor and cruel

times mistaken for the real thing,
which Is essentially oppressive, be-

At one station they seemed TO pause
