the present District Attorney.
Continuing, he said
1t Is not uncommon hear those bent on vlolat-

willing that the law should he violated In order

eieged with questions. The 5:45 is especially

trains which follow il out OF New-York carry
several hundred Piainheld people There was
much uncertainty as TO which train had been
wrecked. and even those who knew their friends
later trains were in an agony of sus-
pense When the dead began TO arrive and the
injured being carried through the depot
the way TO the hospitals the police had hard
work in holding hack the crowd
The physicians of this city who did not go to
the wreck were all busy in the city. Many had
TO go 10 the hospital help the regular staff.

DISCUSSING TERMS AT BERLIN

Berlin, Jan. 27.-President Castro's offer of 30
per cent of the customs receipts Of La Guayra
and Porto Cabello as guarantee for the pay
ment of foreign claims is regarded In official
circles here evidence of the sincerity OF his
intention to make unsatisfactory settlement. As
the offer however. includes the claims of other
countries besides those taking part in the block
ade some doubt is expressed to whether 80
per cent is adequate. A discussion is now pro-
ceeding to determine this point. 1t is also un-
certain whether the allies will admit that powers
which did not join in the blockade shall share
in the results the former secured through eN-
pensiye naval operations.
