OF MALICIOUS ORIGIN.
Wreck on Southern Railway Caused
by Purposely Opened Switch.

Washington. Feb. 16.-Further in
vestigation of the Southern railway
wreck, which occurred at Ravens
worth. Va, early in the morning, when
the New York and Florida express
dashed into an open switch, confirms
the opinion that the catastrophe was
of malicious origin. A. Gordon Jones
superintendent of the Washington di.
vision of the Southern Railway sys-
TEN, says the track is known to have
been in perfect shape only short
time before the wreck and that an in
vestigation afterward showed that the
lock of the switch had been broken
and taken away. He believes that
some enemy OF the road attempted to
wreck the train and that no robbery
was intended Both engineers, John
Purvis OF Alexandria, Va. and Walter
Wigginton. the fireman, died at their
posts.

Are Becoming Anxious.

Washington Feb. 16-The senate
still finds itself burdened with the
statehood bill, and while just as anx-
ious to dispose of it in some way in
order to proceed unimpeded with other
business, 1t is not even as confident OF

teen working days of the session left,
senators generally feel that the mat
ter must be gotten out of the way, but
when suggestion of this kind is made
the reply invariably is that notwith-
standing the statehood bill has had
the right of way position practically
during the entire session, there has
been no lack of legislation and bills
OF all kinds have been passed and that
not single appropriation bill has been
delayed for a moment by the state
hood bill. The feeling is none the less
strong, however. that the statehood
bill will be seriously in the way at the
close of the session unless disposed of
very soon. There are still
Numerous Appropriation Bills

wants to call up various treaties. Sena
tor Lodge is anxious ove- the out
come of the Philippine bill; Senator
Penrose and Senator Fairbanks are
clamoring for time for the immigration
bill; Senator Aldrich wants his nation
al bank bill considered: Senator Nc
Comas is urging the eight hour bill
Senator Quarles the land entry bill
and Senator Warren his omnibus
claim. Indeed there is scarcely a
senator who has not some measure
which he desires to press. and all feel
that the statehood bill may be in the
way of consideration.
All thought of compromise on the
statehood matter has apparently been
abandoned and no course except to
fight it out now seems to be open.
It is now quite definitely decided to
use the postotfice appropriation bill
as the vehicle for carrying the state
hood bill. provided the senate shows
willinHness TO put the measure on
one of the appropriation bills.

en- expects to begin Immediately the
preparation of the protocols with the
representatives Of the allied powers
for the settlement Of the claims of the
nations who have suffered as a result
Of the trouble in Venezuela. There
are eight OF these claimants. including
the United States. The drawing up
OF the protocol with this nation will
be the first attended to. Solicitor
General Proctor will represent the
United States in this work. II is Mr..
Bowen's belief that matters will now
move forward with greater rapidity
than they did with the representatives
of the allied powers who were enforc.
ing the blockade against Venezuela.
The negotiations with France will fol.
low those with the United States. and
so on until the protocols with all the
unallied creditor nations shall have
been completed.
Oppose Preferential Treatment.
The suggestion has been made that
as the unallied nations naturally are
opposed to any preferential treatment
to Germany. Italy and Great Britain.
that in all probability Venezuela. the
Unitel States and France will be lined
up as representing the eight unallied
naticns at The Hague as opposed to
the three allies
Mr.. Bowen continues to receive
numerous congratulatory dispatches
from Venezuela on the outcome of his
work here
Various efforts have been made by
representatives of big financial houses
in this country to sound Mr. Bowen
as to his views on the question of
financing the debt Of Venezuela.
which will result of the adjudication
of the claims bv the several mixed
tribunals. Mr.. Bowen. however. has
informed all those who have spoken
to him on the subject that his mission
here is entirely diplomatic one and
he could not consider the financial
fetures of the matter.
