governing the immediate transportation
of dutiable merchandise without
appraising.
The German Panama resolution was
then laid before the senate. Before any
one was recognized to speak on the
resolution Mr.. German offered a num-
ber of amendments striking out the
word intervention" wherever it ap-
pears, thus modifying the resolution SO
as to make it an inquiry of the preSi-
dent, concerning the use of American
military force of Panama. Mr.. Cullom
in view of the amendments withdrew
his motion to refer the resolution to
the committee on foreign relations and
said he was willing to have it voted
upon. Mr.. Lodge, however asked to
have the resolution as amended printed
and lie over for another day and that
order was made.
Mr. Teller then addressed the senate
on the canal question, saying that he
believed the subject should be treated
from a non-partisan standpoint He
thought, however, that whenever the
president transcribed his duty the fact
should be pointed out. In the present
instance he did not doubt the good in
tention of the president, but he was ris-
trustful of his wisdom in what he had
done.
He had no complaint to make against
Panama, for he thought the people of
that country had the right to enter
upon a revolution. Indeed he thought
if he had lived in Panama he would be
a rebel himself This right of the Pan
amians. however. did not alter the
duty of the United States to remain
neutral

The chief hesitated, and then replied:
Il can't answer that: 1 didn't do it."
A moment later he explained that he
had been very busy. There had been
300 fires in November.
Chief Musham testified that he had
never received any report as to the con-
dition of the Iroquois theater previous
to the fatal fire.

last night the coroner's jury brought

the causes of the wreck on the Rock
Island railroad on Wednesday, January
g. Engineer S. j. Benjamin, Conductor
Nagle and Fireman Stollard are held
responsible for the week. The verdict
of the coroner's jury was as follows:

say that said parties, James Griffin, E.
E. Meyer, Raymond A. Martin, Gail
Fuller, Mrs. Henry Kaiser, Mrs. Mary

came to their death by a headend col
lision between passenger train No. 3
west and extra No. 1417 east, occurring
between Willard and Maple Hill be-
tween l and O'Clock on the 9th day
of January, 1904. The opinion of said
jurors is that the train crew of No. 3
misunderstood their train orders and
caused the collision.
The jury was out for two hours.
Some of the jurors were of the opinion
that the train orders held by Benjamin
and Nagle were not sufficiently specific.
The jury has been eight days in de-
liberation upon the evidence placed
before it. Several long adjournments
have been necessary on account of the
lndDlllly OIL tiie HletilpeiS VI lHe ere"
of No to attend the inquest on ac-

other members of the two train crews
and Train Dispatcher Eby who issued
the orders to the wrecked trains a
short time before the collision, answer
ed their subpoenas. Under the direc-
ton of Coroner Silverthorne the exami-
nation has been thorough.
1t is not now likely that complaints
will be issued against the men who
have been adjudged responsible for the
wreck No coroner's warrant has been
issued as the verdict does not justify
the issuance of one. The county auth
critics do not appear to be disposed tc
prosecute the members of the train
crew so that about the only possibility
