the Scotchman. els there any pOssi-

Very we'll" was the cordial reply.
"and he happens to be sitting at the

"Indeed?' replied the astonished
Scotchman. Il have also had some let
ters from Professor 0. of the Univer-
sity of Michigan. Probably you know
nothing Of him?'
ION the contrary, I know him very
well. There he sits, near the corner
Of the room, the man with whiskers

Atlantic City, N. j., March 1O.-The

The boat is broken directly in half

Il is Said the Only Thing the Matter
With Him is Stubborn Cold.
Paris March 10.--A special dispatch
from Rome says a correspondent has
obtained an interview with a prelate
attached to the Vatican, showing the
real state of the pope's health:
"The reception of 5000 pilgrims Sun
day did not fatigue the pontiff seri-
ously," the correspondent asserts. In
fact, the audiences and recent solemni-
ties seemed to have the effect of stimu-
lating the the vital forces of the aged
man. His chief sources of fatigue
have been the giving of long, private
audiences and serious work with the
cardinals and officials of the Vatican.
The only, thing the matter with the
pope is a rather stubborn cold, which
cannot be expected to be entirely cured
before a fortnight. 1t is only then
that DR.. Lapponi can form an opinion
as to whether the pope's present pros
tration is accidental or a step in pro-
gressive weakness, the result of which
may prove fatal. Although it has been
denied, the symptom which is causing
DR.. Lapponi the greatest anxiety re-
Gently is a slight disorder of digestive
and intestinal functions. For the pres
ent the catarrh with which the pope
has been suffering is slowly but con-
tinuously improving"

BRYAN ON AppIcksIsM
Nebraska Man Again Reads Cleveland
Out of the Party.


Detroit, Mich, March 11.-Hon. VIII
liam J. Bryan, of Nebraska, yesterday
addressed the state Democratic judi
cial convention in Light Guard Armory.
The fact that Mr. Bryan was to speak
attracted a large number of delegates
and spectators.
Stanley E. Parkhill, of Owosso. the
temporary chairman, introduced Mt.
Bryan, who said: Down east, in Della
ware, learned more about some other
things than about future candidates
for the presidency. found that many
Republicans were fighting against a
man named Addicks. l found that in
some places three-quarters of the vot-
ers had received money for their votes.
But l could not draw the line between
Addicks, who wanted to buy a sena-
torship with his own money and run it
for his own interests, and other men
who buy office for a corporation and
run it for the interests Of the cor
poration.
mo man wants harmony more than
1 do, and no one has suffered more
for lack of it than I have. They ac-
cuse me of saying hard things about
Cleveland. l never said anything about
him so hard as did President McKin-
ley, who said: Cleveland is trying to
make money the master and all things
else the servant

part I may have had in driving out of
the Democratic party a man who tried

Democrats Discuss Situation.

Washington, March 11.-After the
senate adjourned yesterday a num-
Der of Democratic senators met infor-
mally in Senator Germans room for a
general discussion of the political sit
uation in the senate and in the country
at large. Senator German talked at
some length about the necessity of
party unity, and pointed out the ne
cessity of harmony in the party in the
senate at this time because Of its pos
sible bearing on the fortunes of the
Democratic party throughout the coun-
try. A number of other senators ex-
pressed similar views. but necessarily
no action was taken, as the meeting
was in no sense official.

DISCUSSING THE CANAL
Senator Morgan Continues His Speech
In Opposition.

Washington, March 11-SenatOr Nor
gan yesterday secured the first ma
terial concession that has been made
to him by the senate in connection
with the Panama Canal treaty with
Colombia. This consisted Of an agree
ment to attach the Spooner canal act
bodily to the treaty. This change was
made in compliance with a request
presented by Senator Lodge during ex-
ecutive session of the senate, and after
the necessity for it had been discussed
by Mr.. Morgan and other members of
the senate. 1t was specifically stipulat-
ed, however, that this concession did
not amount to an amendment to the
treaty.
Senator Morgan consumed the entire
time of the remainder of the closed
session. discussing the canal question
from various points OF view, and going
over much ground he already had COW
cred. Most of his speech was written,
and when Senator CullOm asked him
if the speech he was reading was a
new one or an old one, he replied with
some manifestation of vexation that it
was new. adding that he did not have
to repeat his addresses. He discussed
particularly the attitude of the 18TH
mian canal commission, of which Ad-
miral Walker is the head, and criti-
cised to some extent the change Of
view taken by that commission in it's
last report. He also dwelt on the
variation of the terms of the treaty
from those of the Spooner law.
Yesterday there was more or less
informal discussion of the proposition
to permit Senator Morgan to publish
his remarks in the Congressional
Record, but there was no effort to
reach a conclusion on this point Sen
atOr Cullom, chairman of the commit
tee on foreign relations, has taken the
position that this permission to print
shall not be granted unless Senator
Morgan will agree to allow a day to be
fixed for a vote on the treaty. On the
other hand. Senator Morgan says he
can discuss to any extent he pleases
in the public prints a former treaty be-
tween the United States and Colombia,
which is almost identical with the
pending treaty, and which has been
made public.

Steamship Karamania Detained at
Quarantine at New York.
New York, March 11.-Six strange
deaths at sea aboard the Anchor Line
steamer Karamania, from Marseilles,
Palermo and Naples, caused that YES
sci to be detained at quarantine yes
terday, and Health Officer Doty, after
an examination, said the symptoms
were so similar to those of cholera
that the ship would be thoroughly
disinfected and it's 1888 passengers and
the crew sent to Hoffman Island to
remain there until the health officer
positively knows they are free from
infection. The bodies were buried at
sea, and the meager report of the ships
doctor increased Dr. Doty's suspicious.
Each of the six victims died in convul-
sions, following an attack OF nausea
and cramps.
This is the Karamania's second ex-
perience of the kind. On August 8,
1893. she arrived off quarantine from
Naples and reported three deaths dur
ing the trip. DR.. Jenkins, then health
officer, reported that the deaths had
been due to cholera.

Olean. N. Y, March 10.-Fourteen
lives were lost and As other persons
were injured, some of whom will
die, by an explosion of oil
near here last night. A freight
train on the Erie. made up principally
of tank cars filled with oil, broke in
two near this city at about 9 o'clock.
The two sections came together with
a crash and one of the oil tanks was
demolished. Fire broke out almost in
stantly and the sky was lighted up
for miles. A large crowd of people
left this city for the scene Of the
fire.
While they were lined up along the
tracks a terrific explosion occurred.
The flames communicated quickly
with the other tanks, and a second
and a third explosion followed each
other in rapid succession. ShRets of
flame shot out in all directions. Scores
of people were caught within the zone
of the fire and enveloped in the flames.
Men and boys ran screaming down
the tracks with their clothing a mass
of flames. Others fell where they
stood, overcome by the awful heat
Just how many were killed is not
known, as many Of the bodies were
incinerated.
Sydney Fish, prominent business
man, returned from the scene of the
fire at midnight He said: Il was at
tracted to the scene of the fire be-
tween $50 and 10 o'clock. When I
was within a quarter Of a mile of the
wrecked train there was a terrific ex-
plOsion. Flames shot Outwards and up
wards for a great distance I saw
several persons who started to run
away drop on the railroad tracks, and
they never moved again. Others, who
nad been standing close to the wreck
age, were hurled through the air for
hundreds of feet. The scene was awful.
Half dozen young boys ran down the
tracks with their clothing on fire. They
resembled human torches. l could
hear their agonized screams distinctly
from where l stood. They ran some
distance down the track and then
threw themselves to the ground, grow
elling in the bitches in their frantic
efforts to extinguish the flames. Then
they lay still, some of them uncon-
scious, others dead. don't know how
many were killed, but | counted 20
bodies before l came away"
Word was sent at once to Olean
police headquarters by telephone.
Every doctor and ambulance in the
city was summoned. Grocery wagons
and carriages of all kinds were press
ed into service and everything possi-
BILE was done to bring the injured
without delay to the hospitals for
treatment.
At midnight the first of the injured
arrived at the hospital. They were
four young boys. Their injuries were
frightful. Great patches of flesh we're
burned off and hung in shreds from
their bodies. Large crowds gathered
at the hospital and the faces of the
injured were anxiously scanned as
they were borne into the building on
stretchers. EIeart-rending scenes were
witnessed when one of the poor, blis-
tered bodies was recognized by a
father or a mother or a brother, and
it twas with difficulty that persons
