Difficult in n Gale.
"Only those who are acquainted with
practical aeronautics can appreciate
the difficulties in attempting the first
trials of a flying machine in a 25-
mile gale. AS winter was already
set in, we should have postponed
our trials to a more favorable sea-
son, but for the fact that we were
determined before returning home to
know whether the machine possessed
sufficient power to fly, sufficient
strength to withstand the shock of
landings, and sufficient capacity Of
control to make flight safe in bolster
GUS winds as well as in calm air.
When the points had been definitely
established we at once packed our
goods and returned home, knowing
that the age of flying machines had
come at last.
From the beginning we have en-
ployed entirely new principles of con-

and the corruption possibly had been
a part of three or more administra-
tons. 1t now has reached point, he
said, where men who are corrupt
themselves have disclosed the corrup-
ton of others. My purpose" he
added, lis not so much to expose this
corruption as by the action of Con-
gress in making protective laws to
eliminate the chance of corruption In
the future in the Postoffice Depart
ment."
Mr.. Spooner asked If Mr.. German
would not be willing to supplement
that suggestion by calling upon Con-
gress for a thorough investigation OF
all departments at stated periods. Mr..
German answered that he would be
willing to make the change, but for
the present, he was content to deal
with the question in hand. Contin-
uing, he declared that the corruption
was not a party matter that the
present Postmaster General could not
have been responsible for the state
of affairs in his department, as it
started before he entered upon his
duties at the head of the department.
supervising Information.
The Senator expressed a willingness
to do justice to the President, ''in this
time of trouble in his official house
hold" but he said he could not under
stand why the Republicans in the Senate
had persistently refused to give to the
minority official information concerning
the department. He declared that
the determination to ignore the wishes
of the minority had been manifest at
this session for the first time since he
had been a member of the Senate. He
called attention to the resolutions. in
troduced by himself, by Mr.. Carmack
and by Mr.. Penrose, asking for the
Bristow reports of the postoffice inves-
tigation, and declared that every effort
to get this information had been
thwarted by the Republicans.
A severe denunciation of the charge
of suppression of information was
made by Mr.. Lodge, who said that he
was thoroughly tired of that old weaz-
ened story which had been made over
and over again by senators on the other
side of the chamber. He said it is
quite true that the Republicans had
nearly two-thirds of the members of
the Senate, and that he wanted to in
form the other side that they were
thoroughly responsible for their con-
duct of affairs, and that as they were
responsible they proposed to conduct
their affairs in their own way. Con-
tinuing, he said: I'VE are not afraid
of daylight; we are not afraid of the
Senator from Maryland, and least of
all, we are not afraid of that old time
worn story of suppression of public
information"
After some further colloquy between
Messrs. Spooner and Teller over caucus
control of party action in the Senate,
an agreement was reached to post
pone further discussion of the post
office question until Friday next, and
the Senate adjourned.

Crushed Beyond Recognition.
Some of the bodies found in the
wreckage were so badly crushed as to
be unrecognizable. Through a hole
chopped in one side of the car the
body of a gray-haired, heavy set man
and woman with long. yellow hair
were visible.
Fires were built along the track at
short intervals, and by the light OF
these the rescuers. in their eagerness
to remove the victims, chopped OPEN
ings in the wrecked coach until ex-
hausted; then handed their axes to
others.
1.-The entire sides Of the car had been
chopped away when the work was COM
pleted. Occasionally the rescuers would
desist upon an alarm being raised by
watchers, who declared that the chop
ping away of the coach was letting
the smoker down upon the victims.
So terrific was the force of the coll
lision that the smoker left the trucks
in its backward rush, leaving the
trucks still upon the track. Not a
wheel in the entire passenger train
seemed to be off the track.
THE freight train Jared differently.
The four cars Immediately behind the
engine were crushed into kindling.
Dead and dying cattle Uttered the
right of way, while many which had
escaped from the cars uninjured ran
about, adding to the confusion.
Doctors Heroic Work.
"On the passenger train in the sleep
er was young physician who walked
with a crutch as the result of some
spinal trouble. He was thrown down
and slightly injured, but was the first
man to emerge from the sleeper and
Immediately began aiding the injured.
He had a portion of the chair car and

them the victims were carried The
physician was without instruments or
medicine, and the only thing he could
do was to bind up wounds with band
ages which he made by tearing up
sleeper sheets and pillow cases, and
giving the patients whisky to deaden
the pain.
THE young doctor found a fireman
who was injured in the leg An artery
was broken, and he took 1t up with a
penknife and tied 1t with a thread,
probably preventing the fireman from
bleeding to death. He performed in

Low Estimates at New orleans.

New Orleans, Jan. 6.-Heavy liqui-
