LIST OF DEAD IN WRECK
HAS GROWN TO THIRTY.
Difficult to Fix the Responsibility
for the Accident.

for the Accident.
New Orleans, Nov. 15.-Sixteen ne
groes injured in the Illinois Central
wreck at Kentwood were brought to
the Charity Hospital to-day, and three
of them died soon after reaching here.
This makes a total of twenty EIGHT
negro men dead, one negro woman
killed and Andrew c. Riser, foreman
of carpenters, the only white fatally
injured, a total of thirty deaths.
The injured list foots up eighteen.
Larry Hawthorne, the only negro who
escape from the coach, has become de-
mented as a result of the shock.
The wreck has been cleared away.
The responsibility for the accident
will be hard to figure out. The first
train was forty-five minutes late and
the last five minutes behind, and the
two trains were virtually running on
each others time. The engineer of the
last train claimed that he had orders
for a clear track to Chatawa, while
the operator at Tangipahoa claims that
he signalled the train to stop, intend
ing to hold her ten minutes, but she
went on and struck the train ahead.

WEEK IN CONGRESS-
PROGRAMME MAPPED OUT FOR
BOTH HOUSES.
TO THE CUBAN TREATY BILL
LEGISLATION WILL DE RATHER
CLOSELY CONFINED.

Senator Morgan Is Cooked and
Pinned ON the Panama Matter.
but 1t Is Believed lie Will Not
BE Heard from Until the New
Canal Convention Is Submitted.
Progress of the Cuban Bill Is
Somewhat Slow.
Washington. Nov. 15.-It is the in
tention of the Senate leaders to con-
fine as closely as possible the legisla-
ton of the present extra session to
the bill to carry into effect the Cuban
treaty, and with that end in view the
daily sessions of the Senate during the
present week will be brief
The work of introducing bills and
of presenting petitions will go for
ward, but with the exception of the
Cuban bill neither bills nor petitions
will be taken up in committee nor
discussed in the Senate during the
week.
1t is quite we'll understood that
Senator Morgan is prepared for a pro-
longed discussion of the situation on
the Isthmus of Panama, but while
he seems not to have taken any one
into his confidence, the general sup
position is that he will defer his
speeches until the new canal treaty
shall be sent to the Senate. There
is an understanding on the part of
senators that even though the nego-
tiation for the new convention be
forthwith completed, it will not be
transmitted to the Senate until the
beginning of the regular session of
Congress in December.
1t is expected that the Cuban bill
will be received from the House on
Friday, and it is probable that ses-
sion will be held on that day in order
that the bill may be referred to the
Committee on Foreign Relations, which
will begin it's consideration at once.
The Committee on Military Affairs
will meet during the week to con-
slider the nomination of Gen. Wood,
and as soon as practicable after the
committee reports on it the question
of consideration will be brought before
the Senate.
1t is probable that some time will
be spent by the Senate in executive
session in consideration of other nomi-
nations,
