THE constabulary did splendidly,

were minus bayonets, placed them at
a disadvantage. With the assistance

now in the mountains and will destroy

TRAIN FALLS INTO DITCH.
Disaster on Nickel Plate Road in Indi-
ana-Twenty Three Per-
sons Injured.

Fort Wayne, Ind, April 2. - AS
east-bound Nickel Plate passenger
train No. was approaching the town
of South Whitley the smoker,
day coach and five sleeping cars
left the track and turned over in
the ditch, injuring % persons, one ia
tally. Only the baggage car and the
rear trucks of the dining car remained
on the track. Engineer Samuel X.
Hooper, of Fort Wayne, said the train
was running at the rate OF about As
miles an hour. The engine and bag
gage car passed safely over the spot
where the smoker left the track. 1t is
supposed that the rails spread or the
trucks of the smoker broke down. The
car was hurled so feet from the track
into ditch about half filled with wa
ter. The day coach following was
turned crosswise of the track and the
heavy sleeper section following crashed
into the side of the day coach, badly
wrecking it, then turned over into the
ditch.

WALLACE Talks ON CANAL
URGES STRAIGHT, SEA LEvEI.
WATERWAY.
Ex-Chief Engineer on Panama 18th
mus Gives Commission Bene-
fit of His Experiences.

Washington, March 21.-John f.
Wallace, formerly chief engineer OF the
isthmian canal commission, Tuesday
testified before the senate committee
concerning the type of canal to be
constructed across the Isthmus of
Panama He was asked to state his
views, and prefaced his examination
follows:
Mr.. Wallace in advocating an approx
imately straight, sea-level canal, OF
ample width and depth as the best
type, urged that any other plan which
places restrictions upon the probable
permanency of the canal itself as we'll
as upon the speed and the size and
number of vessels passing through it.
must render the canal far less val
liable; that the only deterrent factors
in This connection are relative time
and cost, and that in approaching the
discussion the question of how much
money the American people supposedly
are willing to invest in the canal, and
how much time they are willing to wait
for its proper accomplishment should
be considered. He said that judged by
the capitalization and dividends now
paid upon the stock of the Suez canal
it is apparent that the rates charged
for transit through it are excessive
and that thus a material saving would
be offered commerce by the Panama
route. Assuming that the present
tonnage through Suez OF, say 100000
| tons per year, would pass through the
/ Panama canal, even at dollar tor
there would be- he said, IAN approx
mate income of $10,000,0O0, which i!
sufficient to justify an expenditure O
$300,G00,0 00." The latter figure h,
deemed ample to construct the sea
level canal. As to the additional tim,
involved, Mr.. Wallace predicted tina
upon basis "of reasonable energy
and the use of proper business meth
DDS of administration, sea-level cana
can be fully completed in ten, or, tt
be entirely safe, say IL years, and ;
! lock canal, even II only go feet allow
sea level, would require only three
| years less"

Mr.. Mitchell bases his prediction on
the theory that scores of mine own
ers in every state will be forced, by
the opening of the Robbins mines, to
operate their shafts in order to avert
ruin by loss of trade. If President
Mitchell's theory is correct there is
little probability of coal famine. II,

money, but that as the money was be-
