bears inscription which has, however, proved
undeCipherable, but enough is legible to show

WRECK KILLS SEVEN
COLLISION ON THE PENNsYL-
 VANIA RAILROAD.
Passenger Train Strikes the Rear End of a Freight-Responsi- bihty Placed by Officials on
 Missing Brakeman.

Pittsburg. Jan. 7.--As result of a col- lision between passenger train and the rear end of freight train on the Monon- gahela division of the Pennsylvania Rail- road tonight at Cochrane Station. seven men are dead, one is dying and five are injured:
 The dead: John Stewart, passenger; c. E. sthroud, baggagemaster on passen- ger train; c. M. Boehner. brakeman of passenger train; four unidentified men.
 The injured: T. D. Cook. conductor of passenger train. may die; Sam sullanof- ski. Peter Kimoski. John Smith. Mike Ghonick. Mike Geatill.
 The passenger train. which was from Pittsburg, was on time and had clear track. according to the signals display ed. At the siding at Cochrane 1t ran in- to the rear car ot the extra freight which had stzlsasa-sls ~swisalE~bse failed to ele@r the main line.
 The officials of the road attribute the disaster to the failure of Patrick Quinn, the rear brakeman of the freight, to see that his train had fully cleared the main track. Quinn has not been found since the wreck.
 When the passenger locomotive struck the cabose of the freight, 1t was forced back upon the combination baggage and smoking car The thirteen passengers in this car were damned against the rear end of the car in a mass. Three of the victims were killed instantly. two were roasted to death and two died on the way to the hospital.
 Almost immediately after the impact, fire fro mthe stove in the smoking car set fire to the wreckage and the impris- oned victims were tortured. Not truck except those of the tender. left the track. None of the passengers in the coaches was hurt.
 The tender stopped with in few feet of the rear of the combination car. crowding everything and everybody in the smoking car into a small space like a plunger in a cylinder. Men were pinned so that they could not be extricated.
 The stove, full of fire, showed back in the car with the men and seats, and with it a 15-gallon can of oil. The oil ignited, there was an explosion, and the wreck age began to burn. One of the undden- tified men, the upper half of his body ex- tending from a rear window of the car, was pinioned by a piece of wood in the car. He was alive and conscious of his peril. He called for some one to release him.
 'Chop her." he would shout, pointing back into the car at something which held him Efforts were made to relieve him. but the poor fellow had to be de- serted and he slowly burned to death.

Washington, Jan. 7.-(Special. .)-l~Serest here, already profound in the political situation in the South as developed by Mir. Roosevelt's stand for the negro as a negro and not as citizen, is more tn- tense today than at any time before. Even the conservative Washington Post, always most partial to the President, says in striking editorial on his present course:
 ITO the sorrow of his judicious friends, and. we believe. to his own eventual con- fusion, he has accepted the hypothesis of the negro politicians and professional of- fice-seekers at the South-moved to this, no doubt, by ignorant and evil counsel and now proposes to approve the black mans claim, as a black man and not as an American citizen.''
 Called on President.
 An interesting fact is that former Con- gressman William F. Aldrich and Charles Scott, two of the three referees selected by the President some time ago to pass upon Federal appointments in Alabama, called on the President today The third referee, J. O. Thompson, Collector of In- ternal Revenue. is i'll at the Hamilton Hotel in this city. With Messrs. Aldrich and Scott were former State Senator Hundley and William F. Tebbetts, Col lector of Mobile.
 The policy of the President in regard to a number of Alabama appointments was discussed by the callers. So far as known, there will be no change in the management of Alabama political affairs as far as the referees are concerned.
 Their recommendations will continue to receive the indorsement and approval of the President.

 Ideas.

St. Paul. Minn.. Jan. 7.--In the pres- ence of both Houses of the Legislature, Samuel R. Van Sant was today sworn in by Chief Justice c. M. Start for his sec ond term as Governor of Minnesota. He then read his message to the joint Assem- ply.
 In his biennial message Governor Van Sant deals exhaustively with the local controversy waging between the State of Minnesota and the Northern Securities Company to prevent the alleged connec- ton of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific Railway Companies. After re- viewing the progress that has been made in the States suit against the company the Governor says:
 The executive officers of the State are doing and will continue to do all in their power to defeat this connection. 1t may be that the court will decide that the laws of one state can be violated by means of a corporation organized under the laws of another State. If so all the benefits of the more perfect union so earnestly wished for by the framers of the Consti- tuition and so much desired by all jaw abiding citizensh will not be realized l have an abiding faith, however. that the laws of the state will be sustained, and that an attempt to evede them in the manner stated will be defeated.
