 Operator Saw Disaster.
 An operator at the tower of the Pitts burg and Lake Erie Railroad across tke Youghtogheny River. was the first to send word of the accident, to send for relief. He was watching the Duquesne Limited as 1t was, speeding along the Baltimore and Ohio tracks across the river. He sax the cars pile high In the air and then sink back on the tracks.

The engine was completely de- ulolished and. the biz 1000 gallon tank of the tender was thrown a hundred feet ahead of the wreck.
 Relief Hnrries to Scene.
 The baggage car was thrown in the riv- CT but was gut slightly wrecked All the ears was deraiied and all the trucks ex- cept the diner were torn from under the coaches. @
 As soon as the wreck was. reported ir Conneifsyille. all the available physicians were summoned. including Baltimore and Ohio Railroad physicians and a special train was made up and taken in charge by General s. c. Sifns and Superintendent, !. E.. Irwin of the Pitsburg Division. The relief train was run at full speed and the scene of the wreck was reached about l o'clock. the injured were looked after immediately and every one was made as comfortable as possible.
 They were loaded on the relief train and taken to the Cottage State Hos. pital here. The dead were placed in 6 long low on the embankment opposite the wreckage and in single line thirty eight forms lay cold and stiff on the frosen ground. Another row on the op. posite side of the wreckage contained eleven, and scattered here and there through the uuderorush were the dead bodies of many who had been able tc crawl from the wreckage but died be. fore aid reached them.

WILL FIGHT TO A FINISH Chicago Strike Will Be
 Continued. HOLD MEETING Decide to Resume Business on
 Open shop" Plan. Union Men Say That Trouble wili occur--Chief of Police o'Neill
 Declares Funerals Will
 Be Protected.

Chicago. Dec. 2s.-The struggle be- tween the iiverymen's and undertaker's association and the livery drivers union which for the past six days has seri- ousiy interfered with the burial of Chi cago's dead. as no hearses or carriages have been available for funerals. is to be fight to the finish, all efforts looking toa settlement of the strike by ccnciiia- tion having been abandoned tonight. For the past two days the prospects for settlement by arbfyratlon seemed bright, but today the contending parties drifted farther apart than ever and all peace negotiations have been declared off by the employers.
 At a meeting tonight of the employers affected by the strike. it was decided to open for business tomorrow morning on the "open shop" principle and employ union or noh-union men
 Before this decision was reached. ar- arrangements were made to petition one of the circuit judges the frat thing to- morrow morning for an injunction re- straining the strikers from interfering with the business of the employers.
 Will Not Arbitrate.
 The conservative element at the meet Eing worked hard to pre1Snt tln opening of the stables but was defeated. The conservatives proposed to make over- lures to the strikers on an arbitration basis. This was not given heed by the more radical element.
 Tie union officials predict trouble when the "open shop" plan Is tried.
 Tn anticipation of opposition by the union. the employers tonight called upon Chief of Police O'Neill for further police protection against violence and picket ing. Tn reply Chief o'Neilf said:
 The police have been ordered to eK- tend to you the utmost protection In carrying on funerals. If you experiences the slightest trouble. call up the neaF. est police station and lf that does Roi Fhszp caH mo af. N. s
 Chief O QsNelil,s plan is, to have, police. men accompany all fuheraie m cabs
 Members of the association said to- night that should the police fail to main tain order the sheriff would be called upon for protection and should that measure fail the Governor would be asked to supply military men. r
 Threaten to Smash Vehicles.
 The police were notified tonight by two Iiverymen of the north side that threats had been made that their carriages would be smashed if they tried to use them in funerals tomorrow. One livery company of Evanston has three funerals tomorrow. all for Rose Hill Cemetery. After being told that their vehicles would be smashed if they went upon the sSfeets, the livefyHAa warned the rela- lives of the dead that it would be ad- visable for them to go to the cemetery by train. The bodies will, however, be taken in hearses.
 One of the largest funerals to be held tomorrow will be that of Detective Thomas Farnsworth, a member of the police force. Arrangements have been made for a large number of carriages and the police will guard the funeral.

WALKER AT DEPARTaEENT

 on the Tsthmus.

Explains to Loomis the Conditions on the Isthmus.
 Washington, Dec. 2&--Rear Admiral John c. Walker, retired, called on Act ing Secretary of State Isccsnis today and explained conditions on tue aathmasa of Panama. when ha lafs tfteka a week ago, his conclusions being that they wora very satisfactory. The admiral had a double missfon. first to look Into the condition of the plant and properties of the Panama Canal Company.
 The second purpose was to serve as the representative of President Roose- welt, from . political point of view, and while on the isthmus he kept the chief executive fully advised as to develop nients. Consequently there was little for
 the admiral to add to his preceding re- ports beyond mere details.
 Rear Admiral Walker informed the
 President that in his opinion it would be expedient to leave to the marines the
 protection of the Republic of Panama and that 1t was unnecessary to increase
 the force of rsarines already in Panama or in the istll9iSa dina the health of tlls flfafines, Rear Admiral Walker told the President that lt could
 scarcely be better. He said that while
 the marines were welcomed and their
 presence realized to be for the best in
 terests of the republic. the sending of
 regular troops might cause feeling of
 uneasiness.
 Despite the peaceful report made by
 Rear Admiral Walker, the probability
 is that two more battal.ons of marines
 will sail next week on the Dixie from
 Philadeiphia for Colon

GE. EYES IS HALARMED
WARNS COLOMBIA AS TO WASH
 INGTON'S ATTITUDE.
Realizes That the United States Will Not Permit the Retaking of
 Panama by the Mother - Country.

Washington, Dec. 2s.--.'war on Panama means. war with the United. etatgs,,' ls me siIbsfaiics s u< 6z6fe fitins which Genl eral Rafasa RaEAsss tlaa Csalnsnnaan Minus ter. iS sending to the Bogota Government, and to his more Influential followers throughout Colombia. +
 Realizing the gravity of the situation, General Reyes is endeavoring to bring the Colombian people face to face with the situation as he knows 1t here. He is con vinced the United States will not permit a Colombian army to land within the tor ritory of Panama.
 General Reyes, with the assistance of Dr. Herran and the American lawyer, whom he has employed, is actively en- gagged in the preparation of his commu- nication to the State Department.
 Heretofore General Reyes has not been in any hurry to eolaplete hls mission in zes, aI ne NsseAn- side. Dispatches. however. which he has received from President Marroquin aud from influential Colombians have caused him to. hasten his work, and it is his present intention to return to Colombia and assume personal command of the army as soon as he has filed his state ment at the State Department
 In Colombian quarters 1t Is pointed out that unless General Reyes soon returns the war party in Bogota will gain the upper hand and his hitherto predominant influence there will be seriously injured.
 It is felt at the Navy Department that it will be well to have a sufficient force in isthmian waters to permit of frequent relfefs for the force ashore. Be- tween now and Monday the question will be definitely decided The official an nouncement is made that General Elliott, commandant of the marine corps. wlIl go to the isthmus. as the administration wishes him to make thorough inspection of conditions there, both from a military and sanitary viewpoint. The Dixie will also carry number of rapid-fire guns. Commanding the two battalions will be lieutenant Colonel William P Bidde and Lteutenant- Colonel L. W. Waller.
 It is expected the Dixie will sail from Philadelphia Monday.
 A long cabiegram was prepared for Rear Admiral Glass today under the per- sonaI supervision of Secretary Moody. It was largely one of inquiry as to the conditions O nthe isthmus and the proba- hle need for more marines. On Rear Ad- miral GIass's reply will depend to some extent the departure of the two additional battalions.
