Three trainmen were killed in a cor
lision on the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad.
One of the dead was hurled from the
structure 10 the street and nearly every
bone in his body was broken, while an
others head was crushed between the
bumper of the engine, which was ram
med by a motor train and the front car
of the train drawn by steam power. A
crowded passenger train crashed into a
train of empty ears, telescoping the rear
car of the latter, in which were the train
men. After the collision a fire was
started by Goals from the locomotive,
and this added to the panic OF the pas
sengers, who fought desperately to es-
cape from the wrecked cars. None of
the passengers was badly hurt

Alleged Irregularities in the Postofice
Department constituted the only theme in
the Senate Wednesday. The question
came up on motion first made by Mr.
Lodge and afterward by Mr. Penrose to
refer the Carmack resolution looking to
a senatorial investigation of the Post
Office DEPARTMENT TO the committee on
postoffices and post roads. The Demo-
cratic Senators resisted the motion and
contended that the country would not be
satisfied with an Investigation of de-
partment made by the department itself.
Further consideration of the subject was
deferred until Friday. The only meas
ure considered in the House was a bill
to ratify an act of the Hawaiian Legis-
lature authorizing the manufacture and
distribution of electric light and power
on the Island Of Oahu, Territory of Ha-
wall. Owing to objections the bill was
recommitted to the committee ON terri
tories. Representative Lowering of Mas
saclusetts introduced two bills for the
rev lsion of the drawback provisions of
the Dincley law. One bill is designed to
encourage tie export trade in drugs and
chemicals by renting the internal reve-
Iue tax in the shape of a drawback on
domestic alcohol used in manufactured
articles for export. The second bill re-
lates to drawbacks on imported raw ma
terial on which duties are paid, when
such raw material is manufactured into
finished products in the United States
and exported.

RATES MADE Interesting Data About the
 Alsek Traffic

The passenger and freight rates and the condition of the tra@e between Whitehorse and Bullion creek, fur nishes the.text for an interesting eircu- !. lar letter prepared by R. D Pinneo, of the traffic department of the W. P. & .Y.R.
 Among other things, Mir. Pinneo says:
 "The principal creeks on which im- portant gold strikes have been made in she Alsek district, are distant about 200 miles from Whitehorse, in northwest srly direction, and can best be reached via Whitehorse. A very good trail which can be used both summer and winter, has been made from the latter point to the diggings.
 "At the present time these who are engaged in hauling passengers from Whitehorse to the new district are quoting a rate of s1OO Co Bullion creek, the center of the new strike, and e15 to Ruby creek. These rates do not iu- cluds roadhouse expenses while on route. The time required to make the trip by stage from Whitehorse to bull lion is about seven days. Meals at the various roadhouses along the route are sl.5O each, and beds sl per night.
 "Freighters in Whitehorse are now asking from 25 to 30 cents per pound for the delivery of freight to Bullion and other creeks in the immediate vi- cinity, and it is fair to presume that the above will be about the average rate charged during the sledding season, which will probably close about April 10th.
 During the slsdding season, upon reaching Marshall Creek, 125 miles from Whitehorse, it hae been found necessary by freighters to abandon their heavy two and four horse sleds and utilize a smaller, single horse sled . known as the 'donble ender' to complete the trip. About 500 pounds constitutes . load for a double ender'.
 After opening of navigation how ever. one can best reach the diggings . by taking a steamer from Whitehorse to Mendenhall Landing and proceeding ! overland from that point, thereby sav- : log some 75 miles of a journey by trail ! The boat service to Mendenhall Land . ing will be established immediately Ipon the openeng Of navigation on the Tahkena river, which will be about June lst, and will be continued until ap- roximaely October lst.
 "The freight and passenger rate in the summer time, it is believed, will be about the same as that prevailing in winter.
