them to death. Their bodies were not re-
covered until they had been burned to a
crisp in the fire. which destroyed the entire
train including the engine. The fire orig
mated from the oil in the tender.

not known. The Sunset limited was trav-
cling at great speed when 1t crashed into
the Eagle Pass train. The engine Of the
limited crashed through caboose which
was hitched to the rear of the Eagle Pass
train and the rear sleeper. This car In turn
telescoped the Trevino private coach, kill
ing the Mexicans. The engine of the linn
tied was destroyed. Most of the injured
were on the limited. Their injuries result
ed from their being thrown from their
seats. The injured were brought to San
Antonio.

late General Ord, u. S. A, and was en-
route to San Antonio with a sick son. The

DASH TOWARDS THE POLE.
Details of Captain ScOtt's Expedition
to the Antarctic Region.

LYTTLETON, N. T., March 27.-Further
particulars obtained from the Antarctic re-
lief ship Morning. which arrived here
Wednesday, show that the dash for the
south made by party from the Discovery,
which resulted in establishing the record
for the furthest point south. commenced
Dec. Is last, when Captain Scott of the
Discovery, DR.. Wilson and Lieutenant
Shackleton left the depot. which had been
established in S0:40 south. and reached lati-
tude s2:17 south, not SO:17. as previously re-
ported. The party was absent ninety -four
days. After establishing a depot sixty
miles south of the ship. the snow got soft,
and Captain Scott and his companions had
TO drag the sledges, half at a time, dis
tances of few miles, and then return and
bring up the remainder of the sledges. This
work was most arduous labor, and lasted
twenty-nine days, when another depot was
established in S0:03. There the explorers
discarded their superfuous gear, started
southwark on the dash Dec. 10, reached S2:17

CORN WHEAT IS A MYTH
NO SUCH GRAIN, THE AGRICULTURAL
DEPARTMENT SAYS.
Cereal Which Caused the Newspaper
Publications Is Polish Wheat,
Which Is a Large Grain.

WASHINGTON, March T.-The Depart
ment of Agriculture reports an enormous
number of letters is being received at the
department from farmers in all parts of
the country asking for definite information
concerning a so-called new grain called
corn wheat" and usually at the same
time requesting sample for trial. These
letters are the result of widely published
newspapers. The department authorizes
the statement that there is no such thing
as corn wheat and that it is probable no
hybrid of corn and wheat could ever be
produced, or at any rate one that would be
fertile. The grain which caused the news
paper publications, the department says, is
known correctly as Polish wheat, though
the grain is not native to Poland, however,
as the name might suggest, but its original
home probably is somewhere in the Med
iterranean region. The newspaper reports,
the department says, are correct in saying
that the heads and grains of this wheat
are large, the grains being in many cases
actually twice as large as those & OF ordinafy ia
to one hundred bushels is, however, prob
ably considerably exaggerated, though
there may be instances in Idaho and WASH
ington, where there are always proportion
ately large yields of wheat, in which the
yield may reach sixty to seventy-five BUSH
els per acre. The experiments made by the
Agricultural Department and by expert
ment stations in few places show that
the yield is rather disappointing. The wheat
has been grown only experimentally in
this country, except in few places: From
experiments so far made the inference
would be that the grain would be very good
as hog food. Polish wheat is much re-
stricted in its adaptation, and the depart
ment says it could not be successfully

in Washington, Idaho, Montana and other
parts of the mountain and Pacific States
where grain is usually grown. 1t has great
resistance to drought. The Department of
Agriculture has no seed of the grain in

noon says wealthy American, whose

set upon, badly choked and robbed of a
pocketbook containing $500 and of four valu-
able rings, his watch and other jewelry.
The American was enjoined to silence, but
he reported the case to a commiSsary of
police, who caused the arrest of a young
Englishman, who gave the name of Wilson.
The latters accomplice succeeded in escap-
ing with the stolen articles The police de-
cline to give the name of the American, but
the papers state that he is a painter named
Kingson. The accomplice of the man Will
son is said to be an Englshman named
Stair, who has not yet been arrested.

WASHINGTON, March N.-All the men,
bers of the Cabinet except Secretary Moody
and Postmaster General Payne were at the
Cabinet meeting to-day. This was the last
meeting but one before the Presidents de-
parture on his Western tour, and the trip

LONDON, March 2S.-The Times's cor
respondent at Shanghai cables that the
American delegates on the bankers COM
mission. under instructions from Washing
ton, to-day presented the indemnity bond
for signature by the Chinese representa-
tives. The text of the bond states that it
is issued in accordance with Article of
the Peking protocol. AS Article records
that the debt is payable in gold it's
equivalent at the rate of exchange cor
responding to the dates of maturity, the
American governments action, says the
correspondent, is equivalent to a declara-
tion that the other ten powers have mis-
construed the protocol, and complicates
future negotiations. The gold bonds pre-
sented by the other delegates remain ig-
nored, the Chinese attitude being one of
simple non possumus.

WANTED IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Dan johnson, COlOred, Captured by
Savannah ConstabIes. FL

Dan John sOn, Coiored, Captured by
Savannah ConstabIes. e.,
Dan Johnson. colored, was arrested
at an early hour yesterday morning by
Constables Constantine and Barrett, at
a fish camp about nine miles from the
city on the South Carolina side of the
river, on a charge of assaulting Chas.
Johnson also colored. at the rice plan
tation of ]. L. Lyman.
After making the assault which con-
sisted of an attempt to shoot Chas.
Johnson, Dan Johnson and his brother
Ruben Johnson, who is also wanted
have frequently laid in wait for him
with the threat to kill on sight. The
South Carolina authorities failed to
capture them, and Mr.. Lyman, fearing
that they would do his man harm, Sc
cured the warrant which was sworn
out before Judge Haywood at Hardee-
vile, and gave it to the two Savannah
officers to serve.
Yesterday morning at o'clock the
officers secured boat and were rowed
up the river as far as the Seaboard
trestle, where they got out and walked
about seven miles through marsh bog
and bank to the fish camp where John
son was found in the act of cooking
breakfast for the two white fishermen
by whom he was employed. He was
covered with guns but offered no re-
sistance. He was then brought to Sa-
vannah and handcuffed to a chair in
Justice Jones office until o'clock,
whene Constable Barrett left for Har-
deeville with him.
Johnson readily consented to go back
to Carolina, as he said he had rather
be in Jail there than here. He denied
having made any assault upon Chas.
Johnson or of laying in wait afterwards
TO kill him. The brother, Ruben John
son, is employed by the same fisher
man, but was at another camp about
nine miles further. up the river. When
they learned that he is wanted they
promised to bring him to the city to-
day and surrender him to the author
flies.
The constables had a tough time get
ting to their man. Constantine fell In
the bog fifty times he said, while Bar
rett says it was nearer one hundred
times. They returned besmeared with
mud, tired out, and say they would not
undertake a similar expedition for any
amount. On the way back they shot
and killed three rabbits that had been
driven to high land by the water which
was unusually high.
