regarding which the greatest anxiety

now engaged in a general assault,
which is more furious than it's prede-

Tennessee Railroad Disaster.

Knoxville, Tenn, Sept. 25.-Run-
ming on a roadbed in supposedly
high condition of maintenance and
having about them every safeguard
known to a modern railroad. two
trains on the Southern railway, car.
rying heavy lists of passengers. came
together in frighttul head-end col
lision near Hodges. I tennessee. yester-
day. sending fifty-four people to death
and injuring 100. several of whom
will propably die. Some Of the bodies
have not yet been recovered and many
remain unidentified.
This appalling loss of life and
manning OF the living resulted appar-
emily from the disregard Of orders
given to the two trains to meet at a
station which has for long time been
their regular meeting point. This
action on the part of the engineer OF
the westbound train is made more In
explicable by the fact that the acct
dent happened in broad daylight. anu,
according to the best information OBJ.
tainable. he had the order In little
frame In front OF him as his engine
rushed by the station and mile and
half farther on came full upon an
eastbound passenger train.
The possibility exists that the Ill
fated engineer may have been asleep.

girls were in the outhouse assigned to
them. when the floor gave way, precip.

PANAMA CANAL.
Excavation Work Will Not Begin un.
til Spring of 1906,

Chicago, Sept. 24.-John F. Wallace,
chicf engineer of the Isthmian canal
commission, who is in direct charge of
the construction of the canal to be
built by the United States across the
lsthmus OF Panama, is at home and
will be in Washington October 9Th.
when the bids are opened for machin-
cry and material to be used for canal
construction.
These bids were advertised for some
time ago and will cover the expendi-
ture of approximately s1,0OO,0oO.
Mr.. Wallace denied the story sent
out by a New York special correspond
ent who said that there was conten-
ton between himself and General Da-
Wis, governor of the canal zone.
Mr.. Wallace says that at present
there are about 1,500 men in the field
at Panama. OF this number about 500
are in the sanitary department. There
are now at work six divisions of the
engineer corps, each in charge of a
resident engineer, who reports to Mr..
Wallace as chief engineer. There are
subordinates in each engineer corps.
such as assistant clerks and superin-
tendents..
The engineering and clerical depart
ments are almost entirely American
lied and nearly every arriving
steamer brings fresh additions from
the United States.
Mr.. Wallace declares that the bad
name that Panama has had in the pop
ular mind is mostly due to the fact
Lat until lately the heterogeneous
population has paid but little attention
to the ordinary laws of health.
Mr.. Wallace says that most of the
men who now hold responsible posi-
tions in connection with the canal are
sober. industrious and ambitious and
that many of them are college-bred
men. They find health conditions in
Panama excellent.
The sanitary corps has paid special
attention to stamping out malaria and
yellow fever. OF all the men at work
on the canal this summer only two
died of yellow fever
The preliminary work of thoroughly
surveying the canal route with view
of determining at what level the canal
is to be cut will consume the remain.
der of this year and all of 1905. BY
spring of 1906 he says he expects to
have the route mapped out and the
actual work of digging the canal in
systematic progress.
Mr.. Wallace estimates that the com.
pletion OF the canal will cost $780,.
100000.

LABOR UNIONS IGNORED.
Nine Thousand Men Return to Work
with Increased Hours.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Nine thousand
men returned to work without union
regulations of any sort yesterday when
the three Chicago branches OF the In
ternational Harvest Works and the
Pullman Company reopened their shops
after a shutdown Of two weeks.

former places as individuals. but they
also agreed to reductions in pay of ten
to twenty per cent.
Before the shutdown the Interna-
tional Harvester Works recognized the
labor unions. but with the announce
ment Of a resumption OF work yester-
day came the statement that the COM
pany would not renew its agreement
with the trades unions, and that the
plants would be operated on basis Of
fifty-seven and one-half hours a week
instead Of fifty-four with no increase in
wages.
The Pullman company announced to-
day that 1t would reopen its shops. but
at wage reduction OF ten to twenty
per cent.
Less than 1000 workers were given
their former positions, but these men
willingly accepted the decrease in pay
and several thousand Of tho former en-
ployes left the yards OF the company
tonight. bitterly disappointed be-
cause they could not return to work
even at the reduction in wages.
1t is the intention of the Pullman
company to have its plants in full op-
Grafton by next Monday. Work was
resumed to-day only In the car repair
shops.

Denver. Sept. 27.-A dispatch from
Ouray last night says: The first death
among the Camp Bird typhoid fever
patients, Of which there were seven,
in the hospital last night. occurred at
$3.50 this morning. Charles Barry, a
miner, aged twenty-five years, died. af-
ter an illness of three weeks. The at
tending physicians felt sure OF his re-
covery, but his heart gave out and
death resulted more from that cause
than from the fever. Barry leaves
two brothers here. who will accom-
pany tho remains to Aspen, where the
burial will take place.

mine were received at the hospital
during the day and two more are said
