Another 81, 900 has gone up in
smoke in the Amboy bridge matter.
An expert was hired to examine the
structure. After many days he re-
ported the bridge in a bad condition,
u0fentioning the places where the ice
damaged 1t last winter. Along with
the report comes the bill for 81, 00O
for services rendered. The report
is ordered filed and the bill is ordered
paid So it goes. The time of tn

taxpayers money. Wonder when the

PERSONS ARE KILLED.
NEARLY A SCORE OF
OTHERS ARE INJURED
No Passengers Among the Dead-ool-
lision Due to Misread Orders
Both Engines and Several Cars
Demolished.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. SHINE persons
were killed and IL train employees and
eight passengers injured In a wreck
of Overland Limited passenger train
No. 2 on the Union Pacific, five miles
west of Rock Springs, Wyo., just be-
fore two o'clock Thursday morning.
The limited was run into head-on by
freight train, and both engines were
demolished, and the dynamo car, mail
car and dining car on the limited were
burned up. Several of the bodies OF
the dead were incinerated
list of the dead follows: First
Cook James Busbee, Omaha; second
Cook Ed Rosenbaum, Oakland, CAL;
Fourth Cook John Laws, Omaha; two
mail clerks (names not given); Elec-
trician Stigers and assistant; Engineer
Brink, of Rawlins; Brakeman Smith.
Of Rawlins
An extra freight train was given an
order before it left Rock Springs to
meet four eastbound passenger trains,
of which the Overland Limited was
the last one, at Ahsay, a siding five
miles west of Rock Springs The
freight took the siding at Ahsay and
waited until three of these trains had
passed east and then pulled out.
When a mile and half west of All
say the freight met the Overland Lin
tied and crashed into it, head-on.
Both engines were demolished. and the
first three cars of the Overland Limited
Immediately caught fire and were en-
tirely destroyed.
Engineer Brink, of the freight train,
who it is stated officially, was respon-
sible for over-running his orders, was
one of the killed. Several trains had
been badly delayed at Granger, with
the result that the four passenger
trains were running close to each 9TH
er. The freight had received posi-
tive orders to meet all four of these
trains at Ahsay, and the officials say
that the orders were either misunder-
stood or misread.
Relief trains with wrecking cars and
large number of physicians were i'm
mediately dispatched from Rock
Springs and Granger to the scene of
the wreck.

TO RUN GOVERNMENT
OVER $500, 100000 ASKED FOR
BY VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS.
Appropriation Committees Issuestate.
nent Of -shaw's Fig
ures Greatly Exceeded.

Washington, Dec. 9. - A statement
was issued by the appropriations COM
mittees of the senate and house Friday
summarizing, the estimates for appro-
priations to be made at the present ses-
sion of congress for the fiscal year 1907
The total for all purposes aggregates
1904 ,296,415. These estimates are great
er than the appropriations for the cur
rent year by s19,17O,155. The war de-
partment asks $S63,463 less than was
appropriated last year and the river and
harbors item, which last year amounted
to $1S,1S1,S 75, is omitted entirely this
year. With these exceptions every de-
partment of the government has asked
for more money than the current appro-
priation.
The two largest increases are asked by
the navy, $21, 229,03S, and the post Of
flee department, $12,1S7,976 The esti-
mates of the appropriations committees
exceed those of Secretary Shaw by near
ly $200,000,000, which is accounted for
by the fact that the secretary of the treas
ury estimates for the post Office de-
partment only that sum which will have
to come from the treasury for its main
tenance, not including postal revenues
applied to the support of that depart
ment. His estimate for the post Office
department is $7,626,OOO, while that Of
the appropriations committees is $780,
21O,07O
The emergency bill, appropriating
Sill 100000 for immediate use in the con-
struction of the Panama canal, will be
taken up by the senate Monday. The
discussion of the measure will probably
occupy three or four days following the
lines of the debate which occurred in the
house. 1t is expected that the senate
will amend the bill to restore the SIS $780,
900 cut out by the house, thus making o
total appropriation of s16,50O,OOO.

SOP THROWN TO SULTAN.
Ambassadors Accept Unimportant
Notifications of Proposal and
Incident Is Closed.

Constantinople, via soma, Bulgaria,
Dec. S.-Ine ambassadors of the six
powers at conference just held ac-
cepted some of the notifications pro-
posed by the porte to the original
scheme for the financial control of
Macedonia and an amended agreement
has been forwarded to their respective
governments for ratification This is
expected promptly, and the incident
will be closed. The notifications &C.
cepted apparently in no way affect the
efficacy of the scheme, but are sop
to the sultan's self-esteem and his
claims for recognition of his sovereign
rights by the inclusion of an Ottoman
