Chicago, Jan. 12.-Without noticing thai
the light in the semaphore above the sta.
ton of the Chicago and Northwestern
railway at Magyar was not burnlhs,
eight + crews passed the danger signal
while a high official secretly market
down the numbers Of the trains. Eight
conductors, eight irenlen and eight engi-
neers are now on an enforced vacation OF
sixty days each.
The remarkable test was suggested By
the desire of the company to throw the
utmost safety precautions about lis Ia-
irons.
According to the rules a.. light that Is
not burning has the same significance as
a red light, or danger signal, but the
Northwestern limited hurried by without

station and then pulled away. taking no
notice of the e~xtingu.shed light. One

MOVE 70 DELAY CANAL
Senaear Scott Wants a Commission u
~HhHStinatn San Bias Rnnte

Senae2r Scott Wants a Commission u
Investigate San Bias Route.
washington Jan. Ex-senator Scott
of West NirgihAa, as he had previously
told colleagues has attended, has intro
duced a resolution fofthe examination
of the San Blas route f6T>a canal. He
wants a commission to investigate and
decide whether it is practicable to dig
a tunnel through the backbone Of the
Cordilleras and make a sea-Ievel canal,
fifteen miles shorter than that between
Colon and Panama.
The San Bias is one of the sew
eral that lave been considered for.
many decades. 1t lies southwest of the
Panama route, and has been repeatedly
declared impossible because the cut
which must be made through the
mountain is immensely more difficult
than the Culebra cut on the Pana1n
route which engineers long declared
impossible.
Senator Scott is one of the millions
aire railroad men in the senate, as is
his colleague, Elkins. They give their
state a thoroughly corporation sty:e of
representation in h upper house. 1t
is not surprising, therefore,, that from
West Virginia comes the proposition
plainly intended to cause more delay.
Railroads Felt Tricked.
The railroad interests. when they
could 10 longer control the United
States congress safely, secured in1u-
ence enougn at Bogota to defeat the
treaty there. They supposed they had
wrecked the whole canal plan. But the
Panama revolution played back into
the hands of the American administra-
ton, and the railroad men undoubt-
cdly felt that they had been tricked.
hhere was intense bitterness, u they
were not in position to say anything.
The sacrifice OF national honor argu-
ment, coming from their inspiration in
some cases, and from sincere enough
motives ii others, has failed to do any
good to STOP ratification of the treaty.
,rhe southern senators would not stand
by German in his effort to pull the
transcontinental chestnuts from the
fire, and ratification of the Panama
treaty seemed certain. Now, to create
n further diversion. Senator Scott pre-
sents his San Bias plan. Perhaps
somebody will revive the old Darien
plan, which has been said by some to
be the cheapest of all. OF course SEN
htor Morgan will keep right on talk
ing for the Nicaragua route, but it is
doubtful whether or not all the efforts
can defeat the ratification of the PAN
nm treaty.

CABINET c Action Governing The
Pacific Squadron.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE far eastern
situation was discussed at the cabinet
meeting today, special consideration
being given to the movement of the
Asiatic squadron. which it is desired
shall be SO shaped as to emphasize the
absolute neutrality of this n in
the event of nostilities between Russia
and Japan. After the meeting it was
announced that orders would be cabled
to Rear Admiral Evans upon his ar
rival at Guam tomorrow, to proceed
thence to Subig bay, it being desired
hat the American navy shall observe
good sea manners by not going to
Japanese or Russian waters just now,
Proposal of Mediation.
Representative Slayden, dem. of
Texas, introduced 4 resolution in the
house today requesting the president
to tender the good offices or mediation
of the United States to Russia and
Japan. The resolution follows:
Whereas, By the provisions of The
Hague peace convention of 1889 a tender
of good offices or mediation by a nation
stranger to a dispute, cannot be regard
ed as an unfriendly acE: and.
Whereas, BY said convention 1t Is made
the duty Of siSnatory powers, IL a seri-
Gus dispute threatens to break out he
tween two or more of them. to remind
these latter that a permanent court Of
arbitration is open to them, and such re-
minder is only to be regarded as a friend
~ action; and,
Whereas, War-like difficulties are now
threatened between Russia and Japan.
which countries as well as the United
States, are signatories TO The Hague
peace convention,
Resolved. BY the Senate and house of
the United States Of America in congress
assembled, that the president be reni,esteS
TO tender the good offices or mediation
of the United States to Russia and .Janan
with relation to their present dispute and
10 REMIND item, in accordance with The
nent court of arbitration is open to then.

crime with which he was charged was
committed. To disprove this allegation
a representative Of the treasury depart
Inent at Washington was sent for to
tsstlfy that Senator Dietrich's pay from
the federal government began the day
atter his election by the Nebraska legis-
lalure, witch was on March IS, 1901.
The records IN the auditors office
snow that Mr.. Dietrich held the office
OF governor until May 1.
The state authorities are credited
with the belief that the senator may
either be prosecuted or compelled to re-
turn the money he drew from the state
from the time of his election as a SEN
ator until his resignation as governor.
