the double track of the Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railroad pssses
through New Brighton. The Sixth street
hill was glare Of ice and was throaged
with coasters. Boys TO watch for APP
preaching trains were stationed at the
railroad crossing and saw the trains
coming. They cried to the occupants
of the bob. sled to stop, but their cries
were unheard in time to stop the big
sled.

Reed Mcdaniel was guiding the sled.
which came down the hill at terrific
speed, and it was almost at the crossing
when the train dashed up. Net then
did the coasters see their danger.
The older boys made frantic efforts to
escape by trying to capsize the sled.
which they succeeded in doing just as the
front struck the train. Mcdaniel was
hurled head foremost between the cars
and the wheels passed over bis limbs
and body. The rear OF the sled, through
the efforts of the boys to upset it, swung
around broadside, and struck the iron
support of the safety gate on the corner
with great force. This hurled seven Of
the boys into and under the wheels.
Many of the others on the sled, the in
slant they realized their danger, threw
themselves off the sled, some of them
graspi1g the smaller boys and pulling
them of as they themselves rolled to
safety.

ths sllroa of that body toward the ar
t~,r reaties in particular and
treaties in general. Among other phases
of the situation which have naturally
tended to disgruntle the Senate is the
taking over by the United States of the
port of Monte Cristi in San Domingo.
1t was admitted at the State Department
yesterday that this was fact and by
Commander Dillingham; who has just

been done with the Consent of the

have found in this statement new cause
Tor grievance in that Monte Cristi is
without the control of the Sanchez gov.
erumeDt and controlled by the revolu-
tionary ferces. In consequence, none OF
its revenues has been turned over to the
Sanchez administration aud the latter
has naturally been anxious to obtain the
money. This it has now accomplished
by the action of Admiral Sigsbee in Sc
curing the customs for application to
San Domingo's public debts. This, the
Senators argue, is going even beyond the
terms of the protocol Of January 20,
which on the protest of the Senate was
repudiated by the administration. That
instrument guaranteed the territorial
integrity of the country, but especially
disavowed any intention to interfere in
the internal affairs of the republic.

Franco Sending Troops to the East.

Marseilles, France, Feb. 1.-The

600 troops and supplies to Tonkin,
French Cochin China. The cruiser La
Touchetreville will sail tomorrow, with
the first detachment of 500 artillery
men. The remainder Of the reinforce
ments will follow on chartered steamers.
The sending of reinforcements at this
time to Cochin China is iu all proba-

any particular danger in the district Of

MEMBERS of the House and Senst,

MEMBERS Of the House and Senate
are becoming alarmed over the situation
of the appropriation bills. Several Of
the most important of the measures,
including the navy bill, have not yet
passed the House, and only four or Eve
of them have received consideration in
the Senate. A fight on the navy bill
is threatened in both houses. Repre-
sentative Little6eld will oppose the
measure in the House, aud will ask that no
appropriations be made for new vessels
at this time. He will call attention to
the growing deficit in the revenues and
the increasing aggregate of the general
supply bills. The deficit promised now
will not be less than $40, 100000 and
this figure Mr.. Little6eld thinks large
enough to make the House 60 slow.
Senator Allison is opposed to extensive
appropriations for the navy, and one
reason he has for having declared against
river and harbor bill is the hope
that the friends of the latter measure
will insist upon cutting down the navy
bill. In the meantime, The session is
drawing to close so rapidly that any
threat of fight over the supply bills
means to threaten them with defeat.

Several hundred workmeR were

Father Gopon's organization is report
ed to have appointed 80 delegates, who
are to request Governor General Trepof
to permit the workmen to send another
representative delegation to see Emperor

this request to repeat the attempt to
march to the Palace Square.
The workmen yesterday held num-
Der of orderly meetings in open fields,
and big assemblsges we're scheduled Tor
today. Tomorrow will be the crucial
time. The position Of the workmen is
distinctly weaker than it was three weeks
ago, for they are without money, while
the authorities are not repeating the
mistake of Understanding the gravity
of the movement or neglecting precau-
tons. Father Gspon's organization still
exists, but secretly, and it is less effec-

Thus far there has been no disorder
in St. Petersburg, and the authorities
appear to have the situation well In
hand in this respect, and it is generally
believed that such precautions have been
taken as will preclude the repetition Of
the scene of bloodshed of January ~.
However, circumstsntisl reports that
the revolutionary element is about to
