found a terrible state of confusion
existing about the scene. Men and
women were running to and fro in
a panic, some clad only in their night
clothes, others in different stages of
undress. Many of these were suffering
from slight injuries. The cries of the
severely injured are declared to have
been dreadful. The surgeons rendered
every aid possible under the circum-
stances. Sixteen of the worst injured
were placed aboard the relief train
and brought to Tucson, where they
were made as comfortable as possible
at the railroad hospital. Six of these

the intense blast of heat which swept
over the wreck. The grand crash
must have signalled the death of all,
and the complete destruction of cars
and inmates mercifully saved the VIC
Tins from the tortures of the flames.
Although efforts we're made to
search the wreck for passengers, the
heat precluded this. The passengers
who were unhurt Immediately ar
ranged mattresses on the ground and
conveyed the wounded there. We saw
cars.
Passengers in the uninjured Pull
mans almost without exception sus-
tanned bruised heads. 1t was a matter
of general comment afterwards that
each passenger had one or more
bumps on his head caused by the sud
den stopping of the cars, which threw
the sleeping passengers against the
headboards with considerable force.

been reported by some committee Of
the senate. Senator Quay's commit
tee is composed of nine members, a
large majority of whom are friendly
to the admission of all the territories
as states, and although it is a commit
tee which has not had a meeting for
years, it is contended that it is per-
fectly competent to pass on any meas
ure that may be referred to it for con
s%ideration.
In the usual order of business the
amendment to the sundry civil bill
would have been referred to the COM
mittee on appropriations, and the
amendment to the agricultural bill
to the committee on agriculture, but
this was not done because those COM
mittees are not so certainly favorable
to the statehood proposition, if favor
able at all to it Mr.. Quay decided
to have the measur go to his own
committee, where he feels sure of Sc
curing the action he seeks. The in
tention is to have the committee call
ed together at an early date to con-
slider the amendments.
It is understood that the decision to
take this step accounts for Mr.. Quay's
motion to adjourn at an unusually a r
ly hour today in the face of the no.
tice given by him yesterday that he
would ask the senate today to sit in
continuous session until the statehood
bill should be disposed of.

DECIDE WATER QUESTION
1T REQUIRES JUST 80 MINUTES
AT CITIZENS MEETING.
Helena Will Give the Company $42,
600 for Services Rendered Dur
ing Past Five Years.

Helena, Jan. 29.-It took the citi-
ems of Helena, who attended the adj
journed meeting of the city council
held in the auditorium tonight, just
so minutes to arrive at the conclu-
sion that it would be best to accept
the proposition of the water company
for a settlement, and advise the city
council to that effect. A rising vote
on a motion to accept the terms Of
fered and pay the sum of $4,000, was
carried unanimously amid the great
est cheering and excitement.
The question was discussed in all
it's phases. 1t is an understanding
that when the terms are accepted
that all litigation against the city be
dropped, with the exception of the
case now pending in the United
States court of appeals in San Fran
cisco, and from which a decision may
be received any day. This case is
one which involves the right of the
city to establish a municipal system
of water WORKS.
BY the terms of the agreement the
city will pay to the Helena Water
Works company a sum in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 in return for the
water service to the city for the past
five years instead of the sum of $780,
900 claimed until now by the water
company. Under the claims made
by the city the amount due the water
company would ne in the neighbor-
hood of 100000, SO that both have
given in to some extent to arrive at
an amicable agreement. The water
company henceforth will receive $3.50
a month for the water service which
it gives to Helena.

SPRINGS
Attaches Statehood for Oklahoma and Arizona to Sundry Civil and
Agricultural Appropriation Bills.

Washington, Jan. ga few min
utes before Senator Lodge suspended
his speech in opposition to the omni-
bus statehood bill today, Senator
Quay, in charge of the bill, introduced
the statehood measure as an amend
ment to each of two appropriation
bills, the agricultural and the sundry
civil bills. The documents were hand
ed in very quietly and the occurrence
attracted no attention at the time.
The amendments contained in each
case all the provisions of the bill as
it came from the house, and provide
for the admission of Oklahoma and
Arizona as states of the union. Sen
ator Quay would not discuss the pur-
pose of this step, but his friends prac-
so to join the measure with the bills
providing money for the conduct of
the business of the government as
to render it necessary to accept the
statehood bill in order to secure the
passage of the appropriation bills.
That this is the purpose is made
more evident by the fact that Mr..
Quay requested that the amendments
be referred to the committee on or.
g~anization and conduct of the execu-
tive department, of which he is chair
man. A rule of the senate requires
that in order to avoid being thrown
out on a point of order ar amendment
to the appropriation bill must have

a large area in Flathead county. Be-
fore the state secured title to the
grants, a large proportion Of the Sc
lections in F1athead county was plac-
ed, by executive proclamation, in the
Flathead forest reserves, and the
state was given authority to make Sc
lections elsewhere, in lieu of the
lands thus reserved.
To secure the lieu selections, the
state, by a deed signed by the regis
ter of the state land Office, relinluish.
ed to the United States all lands
claimed by it that had been included
within the Flathead forest reserve,
and applied for a lieu selection of
about 5000 acres in Teton county.
The Decision.
The decision of the commissioner
upon this application was received at
the local land Office today. The ap-
%plication is denied, upon the ground
that the deed by which the state at.
tempted to convey the Flathead lands
is invalid, not having been signed by
the governor and secretary of state,
over the seal of the state, and there
fore the state is not entitled to make
a lieu selection. If the lieu selection
were located elsewhere, the defect
could doubtless be easily remedied,
but it happens that the Teton county
lands are within the st. Mary's ir-
rigation reserve, and therefore are
not subject to entry, sale or dispsi-
ton in any name except under the
homestead provision of the national
irrigation law. The state may now e
ecute a valid deed of the F1athead
lands and then apply for another lieu
selection of lands not included with
in any reserve, but it cannot secure
any title to the Teton lands if the
commissioners decision is sustained.
II the decision of the commissioner
should be finally sustained, all deeds
executed by the state would be void
and new deeds must be secured.

Two coroners.

Tucson, Ariz., Jan. 29.-The coron-
er's jury, to sift yesterdays wreck,
will meet this afternoon. There is
a conflict between two o as
to jurisdiction, which is likely to
seriously delay matters. One coroner
had a deputy on the ground, who took
possession of the bodies of the vic
Tins. The other coroner arrived af-
ter the bodies had been put on the
train and we're on the way to Tucson.
Both have summoned witnesses to ap-
pear in the. courts.
The wreck was burning all night
and this morning the smoke could
be seen from this city, 16 miles dis
tant. It is a settled fact that four
colored lei lost their lives in the
wreck. They were buffetmen on No.
s That all the bodies have not been
taken from the wreck is further
strengthened by the odor of burning
flesh, which permeates all parts of
the wreck, especially at the point
where the smoker and the second
Pullman of No. s were telescoped.
Scores of messages are arriving
from all parts of the country, MAX
ing inquiries as to people on the two
trains. The opinion of the passengers
who were on the wrecked trains is
that the loss of life will probably reach
fifey or sixty. One of them said this
morning that it would not surprise
him if it were even greater.
Railroad officials will not make any
statement further than that Operator
Clough, at Walls, was responsible on
account of his failure to deliver the
second order. Clough himself is under
instructions to say nothing until called
to the witness stand at thu inquest.
Conductor Parker will make no state
ment.
Survivor Tells of the Awful Crash.
Los Angeles, Jan. 29.-Lynn Helm,
an attorney of this city, and his wife,
both of whom were passengers on
the %westbound Sunset limited, wreck
ed near Walls, Ariz., yesterday morn
ing, arrived home today. MI. and
Mrs. Helm were asleep in the rear
Pullman car of their train and escaped
without injury. He attributes the es-
cape of the two Pullman cars of the
W%estbound train to the nerve of En-
gineer Bruce, who stuck to his engine
and set the air brakes. :
Mr.. Helms story of the disaster
is as follows:
"The crash came at 3:11, as was
discovered later by the stopped watch
of one of the dead engineers.
"There we're three distinct shocks,
the first resulting from the setting of
the powerful air brakes. So suddenly
was the air thrown on that the rear
trucks of our car leaped into the air,
seemingly two feet. This was the
greatest shock to us. Inen

window Immediately and observed a
great glare of light.
sit was caused. by the burning cars.
The baggage and Gay coaches seemed
to flash up in one blaze at the touch
of the engines. 1t was the most>sud-
den coniagration l ever witnessed.
There yer no groans from the
twenty or more victims buried in that
burning mass. All must have been
killed instantly. The flames were so
fierce that those who were MOI killed
instantly by the shock must have per-
ished within a minute or two from
