hill from Waldo, Mimi, to Two Harbors
without an engine crew, conductor or
brakeman, except one who feared to
jump in the darkness. He sustained a
broken leg and other injuries. g..
Three tramps and possibly more are
dead as a result of their own careless
ness or ignorance Of the working of the
airbrake. Twenty-Five loaded ore cars
were piled up, being a complete loss.
After the tramps had boarded the
train at a block station the air failed
to work at the top Of long hill. It is
supposed that the tramps in some man
ner turned an angle cock. The engi-
neer and fireman were the first to jump
and then the crew began dropping off.
No tramps were seen to leave the fast.

the wreck, but being reversed, stopped

CONGRESS IN FIX

ABOUT THE CANAL
House with President for a Lock
Canal-Senate for Sea-
Level Ditch.
By W.. w. Jermane,

Washington, May 29.-1t is a pretty
fix into which congress seems to be
getting itself regarding the type of
canal. The house is with the president
in demanding lock canal. The SEN
ate, it is said, will pass the Kittridge
bill providing for a sea-level canal. The
deadlock that would follow such a state
of affairs would permit the president
for another year to proceed with the
work under the Spooner law, and in
that time, it has been argued, he might
be able to carry it SO far along as, to
make it very expensive to adopt the
sea-level plan.
That he would proceed as far as pos
sible during the coming season and up
to some action by congress at the next
session, is we'll understood. The canal
question is to be debated freely in the
senate this week, and vote taken per-
haps by the last of the week. s.-.,
Who has made a poll Of the senate, is
hears the statement thatsthes .senate..is
for the sea-level proposition. -,-

TAWNEY USED KNIFE
ON THE ESTIMATES
Heads of Departments Likely to
Make Appeals to the
Senate.
By w. w. Jermane.

Washington, May 29.-After more
than a month of hearings, the sub-com-
mlttee of the committee on appropria-
tions, with Mr.. Tawnev of Minnesota
at its head, has completed the consid-
Grafton of the sundry civil appropria-
tion bill, the largest Of the general sup
ply bills.
In order to get all the information
on which to base the appropriations
under the many heads, it was necessary
to call on heads Of departments and
reaus and divisions. This was Taw-
ney's first experience with such a meas
ure and the inquiries directed at the de-
partment officers were more thoro anil
detailed than they have been before in
a number of years. Mr.. Tawney not
only wanted to find out about the prac-
teal working of the government from
the standpoint of its expenditures, but
he has been under the necessity Of pre-
pairing a bill that will meet the demand
for economy in all branches of the
service.
Some of the heads of departments
will be surprised at the way he has
pruned their estimates, which vii
mean demand on the senate to in
crease the appropriations for certain
purposes.
Money for Smelling.
The bill carries an item of $4,000
for completing locks and dams at Meek
er island A special appropriation o
$4,000 is also made for new drill
hall at Fort Smelling, which Representa-
tives Stevens and Fletcher have bee
pressing on the committee.
Other items Of interest to the north
west other than the regular salaries o
employees, are as follows: Publ

pletion, $4,000; Fargo, n. D., compile
tion, $4,000; Pierre. S. D., completion

Mexico City, May 29-Advices re-
ceived yesterday from Napachula and
Tonala, in the Mexican state of CHA
pas, show that revolution against the
existing administration Of the present
president, Estrada -Cabeira. of Guate-
mala, broke out Sunday and Guatemala
was invaded from four points by as
many bodies of armed men, all equipped
with the best modern rifles.
| General Manuel LeandrO Barillas, for
merly president Of Guatemala, with 900
cavalry and stock of 700 rifles, crossed
the Mexican border at point near Mo-
tozinla and is aiming at Quetzatlange,
] a large town garrisoned by Guatemalan
I regulars. Barillas has. great coffee es-
is very popular and whence he was
driven four years ago by President Ca
beira. It is believed that Quetzatlange
will! be taken without much bloodshed.
Barillas successfully evaded the
search of the authorities. He will re-
cruit new men on his march across the
mountains, the people being loyal to
him, as he has reason to know.
Ocos surrenders.

Ocos Sunday without much resistance.
He took that point with 500 men and
was received with enthusiasm by the

General Castillo was a rival candi
