Chinook in Northwest Brings
All Railroad Business to
a StandstiIl.

TACOMA WASH, Jan 4.-Business
was at a standsttll on the Northern
racine today, not a train leaving the
city, and the railroad officials are un-
able to make any definite statement as
to the future. The chinook still pre-
walls and water is pouring down the
Cascades in torrents. At Martin. on
the east side of the tunnel, there is a
Washout of nearly 500 feet, while sew
eral places between the tunnel and FL
lensburg are under water or the tracks
covered deep in mud.
There are five washouts on the main
line between Castle Rock and Kelso.
There are innumerable7 slides all the
way from Cosmospolis ito the terminus
on the Gray's Earbor branch. The Au-
burn cutoff is under water for one
mile. Nearly mile of track is gone
in one place on Green River Five or
SIX other WaShoutSt are reported be-
tween Lester and Palmer. The big
Washout at Martin is followed by a
succession of Washouts and landsIides
all the way to Ellensbnrg. The South
Bend branch is under water and COW

terminus
The company has two passenger
trains tied up at haywood and are TAX
ing the best care possible of the pas
Sengers. There are slides ahead and
washouts behind, and arrangements
are being made to get supplies to the
trains. There is no way to get the
passengers out at present, owing to the
washing out of all the road bridges in
that section. Not a county road can
be followed a single mile in any direc-
ton. One passenger train is bound up
at Lester, where the passengers are
also being cared for by the railroad.
No communication is. possible either
way until the water shall have abated.

PRINCESS MAY
BE RECONCILED
Deserted Husband Is Willing
to Forgive All if She
Will Return.

VIENNA, Jan. 4.-Reports have been
received here from sources closely
connected with the court of Saxony of
a possible reconciliation between the
crown princess of Saxony and her hus-
band. The family of the crown prin-
cess's unborn child, desiring it's birth
to occur under conditions permitting
of proper Identification, and to prevent
possible substitution, which it is sup
posed the princess might attempt if the
crown princes family tried to claim
the child. The crown prince is report
ed as even now unwilling to abandon
the belief that the unborn child may
be his own.
While King George angrily insists
that his sons faithless wife be cast
adrift, it is understood that the crown
prince places no obstacles in the way
of a reconciliation should his wife be
willing to come back. 1t Is naturally
to be understood, according to report.
that 1t is impossible to permit the
princess to return to Saxony and be-
come queen, but the suggestion is made
that she reside in retirement near the
frontier, where she could see her chill
dren occasionally.
No effort will be made to negotiate
with M. Giron, who is regarded as a
raw student, but it thought that the
princess might be induced to accept the
foregoing proposals on account Of her
love for her children.

FEW SENATORS WILL
BE AT OPENING
SESSION
Statehood Matters to Occupy
Attention Ahead Of Every
thing Except Appropria-
tion Bills-Senator Nelson
to Be Heard on the Subject
First.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. A.
Many of the senators who left Wash
ington for the Christmas holidays are
still absent and the present indications
are that when business is resumed at
noon tomorrow there will not be a very
full attendance. Before the week is
far advanced, however, the senate will
again be in regular working order and
there will be little cessation of work
before the 4th of March.
The prediction is very general that
the remainder of the session will be
exceedingly busy because of the num-
Der of important questions which will
be pressed for consideration before fl
nal adjournment.
During the present week and prob
ably for some time to come the omni-
bus statehood bill will be the chief
topic of discussion on the floor, but un-
der the unanimous agreement by which
the bill was made the unfinished busi-
ness it cannot be taken up any day be-
fore 2.o'clock. 1t is the purpose of the
friends of the bill to press its consid-
Grafton.
The senate committee on appropria-
tions Immediately will take up the leg
1slatiVe, executive and judicial apprO-
priatiOn bill, and it will be reported
to the senate as soon as possible. It
is a bill which demands considerable
investigation, and it is not probable
it will reach the senate much before
the middle of the month. When it is
reported the committee will seek to
secure for it immediate consideration.
Senator Nelson Has a Speech.
According. to the agreement before
the holidays the debate on the state
hood bill will be resumed at 2 o'clock
tomorrow, Senator Nelson, of Mime
sofa, being the first speaker. He is q
member of the committee on territories
and in addition to his opposition to the
admission of Arizona and New Mexico,
he is a stanch adherent of the bill for
the admission of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory as one state which was re-
ported by the majority Of the commit
tee as substitute for the omnibus bill.
He has a carefully prepared speech and
its delivery probably will require the
greater part of two days. 1t is now

SCORE ACCUSER
Court of Inquiry at Ft. Leav-
enWOrth Renders Back
Action Decision.

Special to The Globe
FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan, Jan.
4.-The court of inquiry appointed by
Maj. Gen. John c. Bates, commander
of the department of the Missouri, to
investigate certain charges against
Capt. Malvern Hill Barnum, Eighth
cavalry, has completed a report en-
tirely eXonerating Capt. Barnum. In
addition to this, the board severely
criticises Maj. Charles G. Ayers, who
preferred the charges, for hasty and
intemperate action. Gen. Bates approv-
ed the findings of the board, condemns
Maj. Ayers for making unfounded and
improper assertions, and says his ac-
ton is highly unmilitary and harmful
to the service The trouble between
Maj. Ayers and Capt Barnum arose
over the fall maneuvers at Fort Riley,
when Maj. .Ayres was commanding the
Eighth cavalry squadron, with which
Capt. Barnum was serving. Ayres ac-
cused Barnum of disobedience, but the
committee declares the charge un-
founded.
The charges concerned the issuance
Of passes and in passing upon them
the court says:
The court is of the opinion that
Maj. Ayres in making these assertions
was hasty and Incorporate, and while
not imputing to him any intention of
making false statement, the asser-
tiOnS made and reiterated by him were
inaccurate and unWarranted."

Pinned by his foot under the wreoL-l
age of his engine, dismantled in al
wreck near Dayton's Bluff yester-
oay morning, with escaping steami
scaldlng his flesh and slowly torturing
nlm 70 death. Engineer G. j. Wood, Of
the burlington road, searched his
pockets for his knife and deliberately
amputated his left foot below the an
kle. Then crawling away from the
fury of the roaring steam he sat, pent
in by the dense fog and shivering in.
the raw air of the morning. staunch-
ing the flow of blood with a handker-
chief.
The crew of the switch engine with
which the incoming freight collided
and several ,switchmen and brakemen
who hurried to the scene found him
by the track side, and placing him |
upon another engine brought him to
the union depot whence he was takeni
to st. Joseph's hospital.
Ihe wreck occurred at 2:50 Sundayl
morning and was charged to the dense
fog. 1t was raw and nasty night: /
a night the trainmen fear. Fog, gray
heaVy, interminable deadened the 4
switch lamps into faint glimmers and
baftied the rays of the headlight with
drifting murk. The rails glistened.
dimly with clinging moisture and the
trains moved gray and ghostly, sheetedt
with vapor.
No Warning of Disaster.
The train of which Wood was thet
engineer was approaching the city oni
its regular time. Believing that heI
had a clear track Wood was runningi
at fair speed, considering the fog.1
About half mile from the Dayton's
Bluff station of the Burlington and1
near the yard entrance the switch en-
gine suddenly loomed out of the night. 1
Wood instinctively shut the throttle
and threw on the air. Then the crash'i
came, plling the engines together and
creating chaos.
When Wood recovered himself he
was lying in the wreckage, in a roar /
ing cloud of steam, his leg pinned and |
the steam jets Scalding him up to his
waist No one was near and deathi
by scalding appeared certain to Wood.
His agony made death seem friend.
But there were people at home inl
GaleSburg who needed him.
Turning over he found himself fas-
tened only by one foot and his pocket
knife was somewhere in his jumper.
Finding 1t he sat up and with both
hands hacked at the smashed, crushed
flesh that held him prisoner. His leg
Tree, he craWled away.
Free of the escaping steam Wood |
sat on a snowbank and tried to make |
a tourinquet of his handkerchief Hei
was holding the ends of the several |
arteries when found by the switch en-
gine crew.
Wood was taken to st. Josepf's hos
pital in the police ambulance All the
way, although the agony of his hurts
showed in the tightly clenched hands,t
he talked cheerfully to DR.. Cook, nowt
and then making a feeble jest of his |
condition. DR.. T. H. Johnston attend !
ed Wood at the hospital, amputating /
his foot at the ankle. Last night he |
was reported progressing nicely, thought
suffering from scalds as well as the
shock of the amputation. /
Wood was the only man hurt in the
accident. He is thirty -four years Of
age and lives at Galesburg, Ill.

Democrats Pick Hickey.
Representative Frank Minnette, of
Sauk Center. is the only out town
Democratic member on the ground and
formal arrangements for the Democrat
ic caucus have not been completed.
The other members are expected to-

Orary nomination for speaker by the
minority will be decided upon.
Some of the Johnson men intimated
yesterday that if they could not nomi-
nate the Hennepin man in caucus they
would be able to defeat nomination and
throw the speakership fight into the
house, where they could win out with
the help of the Democrats. The mi
nority is not figuring on any hand in
the Republican fight and will nominate
a candidate for speaker in accord with
their custom, but will probably not
go through the form of nominating a
slate.
Representative James r. Hickey, of
ST. Paul, is prominently mentioned as
the recipient of the complimentary
speakership vote of the minority. Mr..
Hickey made fine record as member
of the last legislature and stands high
