TRAINING SHIP LOST
 IN THE BAY OF BISCAY
THIRTY-FIVE PERISH IN POUNB- BRING OF BELGIAN SAIL-
 ING VESSEL.

Twenty-six Survivors Picked Up by a
 French Bark-AmOng the Cadets
 Aboard Were Many Sons of Promi-
 nent Families--Ship Turned Turtle
 When She Was Launched in 19O4-
 Alterations Made but Her Officers
 Still Considered Her Topheavy.
 London, April 2S.-The Count de smet de Naeyer, a cadet sailing ship used by the Belgium government for training officers for the government service, foundered in the Bay of Biscay April IS, with loss of thirty-iye lives, in cluding the captain and the officer the cadets. The cadets in cluded the sons of many prominent Bel gians. Twenty-six survivors of the wreck were rescued by the French bark Dunkerque
 It is difficult to get precise details of the disaster owing to the Dunkerque, which was proceeding to Hamburg, re- fusing- any information or the names of lAlC oAl NlNOloy tl4ll elloO Q0GlillillS Oll III Vitation to land the survivors at Dover.
 The Count de Smet de Naeyer was built at Grenock in 1904. It is alleged that she turned turtle when she was launched, necessitating alterations to improve her stability. Most of her of ficers resigned after her first voyage, declaring that she was still top-heavy She started on her ill-fated second voy- age April il, and anchored off Flushing till Easter Saturday, when she was lowed into the North Sea and started on her voyage for Australia. She en7 eountered terrible weather in the Bay of Biscay, labored heavily and foun- dered, It is supposed that a boat or raft was launched, and that by this means the survivors were rescued; but no details or list of the survivors is obtainable. She was full rigged sail ing ship, 270 feet long.

MAY BE MURDER.
Italian Shot at Seymour--0bject ROb-
 bery of $500.

bery of S3OO.
 A shooting affair that bids fair to re- suit in murder occurred between 4 and o'clock yesterday afternoon at Sey- mour. The principals were two Italian laborers employed by J. J. O'Brien, a contractor for the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad, on the rail road tracks in that town. The Italian who was shot was known as Number 96O, but his name as nearly as could pe learned last evening is Dominic Bar bello. He was shot three times in back of the ear and once through the cheek, and was brought to the New Haven hospital last night in a serious condi- tion.
 Barbello's assailant was Francesca Cecchelli, a young Italian, nineteen years old. He is described as about five feet four inches tall, smooth-faced, dark curly hair. It is thought he left Seymour on the 630 train last evening and an alarm was sent out for him.
 The object of the shooting was evil dently robbery Barbello, it appears, had $500 on his person, concealed in his shoe. He contemplated returning to Italy to-day. These facts were known by Cecchelli. After the shooting he procured the money and got off with it.
 Coroner Mix held an examination at the hospital last night, but no details could be learned about it. Barbello is a middle-aged man.
 Barbello died early this morning.

AUGMENTATION FOUND.
Opinion in Case of Enterprise Nav. Co.
 Against Railroads.

Washington, April 2S,-The report and opinion of the interstate commerce commission in proceeding entitled 'In the matter of alleged unlawful discrim- ination against the Enterprise Trans portatfon company by railroad lines leading from New York city" was to- day announced, in an opinion by Com missioner Prouty. The opinion sets forth that it appears that railroad lines leading west from New York city make joint through rates with the New Eng land Navigation company and the rali lines centering in New York and run ming westerly thereof refuse, for stated business reasons to make the same or any joint rating arrangement with the Enterprise Transportation company, a steamship line plying between Fall Riv- CT and other New England points and New York city
 The commission says this Fall River line may by reducing rates on local traffic, force out of business the Enter prise Transportation company while obtaining a lucrative and supporting business from through traffic, and upon disappearance of such competition, re- store the former charges. This investi- gation was made with the understand ing that the commission is without power to grant any relief, it is recited, and no opinion as to whether the through routing arrangements should be extended to the Enterprise company is expressed but the commission is of the opinion that if the public is to have the legitimate benefit of water competition, it is evident that authority should be provided to establish through routes between rail and water carriers or at lease to prevent unjust discrimin- ation by rail carriers between connect ing water lines.

OPERATORS ANGRY AT
 MITCHELL'S TACTICS CHARGE HIM WITH RESPONSE BILITY FOR DELAY IN NE
 COALITIONS

Issue Statement With Mine Leaders
 Answer to Their Last Letter-Accuse
 Him of Playing Between the Bitumin-
 ous and Anthracite Industries While
 Each Alternately Waits While Ef-
 forts Are Being Made to Fix Terms
 With Its Rival.
 New York, April Representatives of the anthracite coal operators to-day announced that they have received the following letter from President Mitch ell, of the United Mine Workers of America, in reply to the operators dec- lination to submit all the differences between the operators and the miners to arbitration:
 Indianapolis, Ind, April 21, 1906. MT. George F. Baer, Chairman
 Dear Sir-Your favor d8ted April 17 is received. Replying, will say that have called a meeting of the committee representing the anthracite miners to be held at WiIkesbarre on Wednesday, April 25. at which the communication signed by you and your associates will be submitted for the consideration of the committee. At the adjournment of the meeting 1 shall communicate with you further.
 T am, yours truly,
 John Mitchell"
 The following, entitled Statement on Behalf of the Anthracite Operators, but not signed, was also given out:
 When MT Mitchell presented his plan of arbitration on April 12 the op- orators informed him then and there that it could not be accepted. They also notified him that detailed reply would be ready on April r. The af- fairs of a rival industry, however de- manded MT. Mitchells attention in In- dianapolis on April 16, and it was not until April 21 that he could even ac- knowledge the operators letter of the 17th.
 Tt should be very definitely under stood that the delay in these negotia- tions is not caused by the operators. Then handed their formal reply to the miners original demands to MT. Mitch ell's committee on March 9, But in or der to take up the controversy with the bltuminous operators MT Mitchell had to leave New York on March 10, and he was absorbed with questions relating entirely to the soft coal fields until March 31. On March 29, without any warning or further discussion, a strike to begin April in the entire anthracite industry was ordered from Indianapo- lis, the soft coal miners headquarters. Not until April was MT, Mitchell again able to meet the anthracite oper- ators.
 Now, once more, from April 12 to April 25, the affairs of the anthracite region must be neglected while the bi- luminous dispute is taken up. Each in- dustry alternately waits while efforts are being made to fix terms with its rival. Meanwhile the anthracite mines are idle and some 150000 men are led to sacrifice their wages. The strike has been in progress now for over three weeks, and exactly thirty-six days have been lost in these negotiations since March 9 by reason of the demands upon the miners leader by the competing bi- luminous industry"

HARTMAN IN STRICKEN CITY.
Magnate Goes Over situation--ReIief
 Must Continue.

New York, April 23.-E. H. Hartman, president of the Union Pacific Railroad cornpanq, sent the following message from Oakland Cal, to the offices of the railroad company in this city to-day:
 Having gone over the situation in San Francisco, I am deeply impressed with the necessity of uninterrupted for warding of foodstuffs with which to feed the two hundred thousand home less people. The situation is well or ganized, and the United States quarter masters department is receiving and distributing, through its channels and through the various local relief assoc.- ations, all supplies as fast as they ar- rive, but the fact should be made pub lie in all quarters that it will require continued effort on the part of every one to keep supplies coming. The rail- roads are, of course, handling all such supplies without charge, and the people must respond to calls for relief.
