Of emergency currency in times OF

gress for enactment into law at the
coming session. Although the Views

The discussion developed senti.
ment in favor of a currency to be Is

during periods of financial stress, as
Is done in the case OF various Euro

this proposition-that of segregating

security for these issues-was voted
down. The tax on these general credit
issues, 1t Is proposed, shall form a

IMMIGRANT TRAIN AND FREIGHT
COLLIDE ON a CURVE IN
INDIANA.
MANY BURNED TODEATH
The Flames Consumed All but TWO Of
the Dead-PltifuI Scenes In Chi
eaaO, Where Friends Await
ed Loved ones.

Chieago-More than one-half the
passengers on an immigrant train on
the Baltimore g. Ohio railroad were
killed or injured in a collision be-
tween the passenger train and a
freight near Woodville, Ind. One hun
bred and sixty-five passengers were
on the train, and OF these AZ were
either killed outright or were burn I'd
to death in the ERE which broke out
In the wreckage Immediately after the
collision. The names of all of the
dead will probably never be known, as
As of the bodies were consumed in the
flames, or we're so badly burned that
Identification is impossible. Thirty
eight people were injured and several
Of these will die.
The disaster was caused by blum
der of some employee of the railroad
company, but just where the blame
lies has not as yet been determined.
The passenger train which was load
ed with Russian Jews, Servians and
Poles, all of them recent arrivals in
this country, and bound for Chicago,
or places in the northwest, was the
second section of through train from
Baltimore. The engineer OF freight
train No. SO, on instructions received
at McCool, Ind, waited at a siding at
Babcock, Ind, to allow the immigrant
train to pass. One report is that the
engineer of the freight train had not
been informed that the passenger
train was running in two sections;
the other Is that the first section Of
the passenger train carried no lights
or signals of any kind indicating that
second section was close behind.
AS soon as the first section of the
immigrant train had passed the switch
at Babcock, the freight train, in charge
OF Engineer Burke and Conductor
Moste, started eastward. A light snow
was falling, which increased the dark
ness of the early morning, and as the
freight was rounding a sharp curve
Just west of Woodville, the second sec.
ton of the immigrant train came in
sight a short distance away, tearing
toward Chicago at the rate OF 40 miles
an hour. The two trains came togeth
err with unslackened speed, and in the
crash six passenger coaches and sew
eral freight cars were knocked into
kindling wood, and together with the
locomotive went rolling down the ten
foot embankment.
Fire broke out almost Immediately
in the wreckage, and although mum
Der of injured were saved by the des
perate efforts Of the train crew an,
surviving passengers, the greater par
OF those who were pinned down in th
debris were burned to death. Thu

JEWS HONOR HAYS MEMORY.
Memorial Window In Synagogue In

accepted an invitation to attend the
dedication of a window to the late
John Hay in the synagogue of Kene-
seth Israel congregation, Philadelphia,

DR.. Krauskopf, pastor Of the congre-
cation, said that the perpetuation Of
the memory of the late Secretary Hay
by the installation of a window in a
Jewish church is a decided innovation,
and win be the first instance where a
non-Jew has been honored by the In
stallatlon OF any sort of memorial in

This exception is made because OF

FURTHER AND SERIOUS coNeEs.
TON IN RAILWAY SHIPMENTS
A DRAWBACK.
ADVANCES IN WAGES
All in All, the Business Situation
Throughout the County Is Re-
ported to Be an In
spring One.

New York-Bradstreet says: Fur
Their and serious congestion OF rail-
way shipments, more advances in
wages, satisfactory recorders, a large
volume of spring trade, greater actlv
ity in retail lines in consonance with
colder weather, a market development
of demand for holiday novelties and
persistent requests for domestic and
foreign iron and steel, arc among the
significant features OF an exceptional
ly busy week.
Some of the Drawbacks.
Complaints Of poor deliveries are
widespread. and while the railways
are making every effort to remedy the
situation, little progress is being made
in that direction. Because of these
delays, collections are not so good as
they might be, though most of the
improvement reported last week is
maintained. Shipments of grain prob
ably suffer most from the congestion,
but deliveries of fuel to manufacture
ing plants and shipments from iron
and steel mills are also hampered. In
dustrial plants are being pushed to the
utmost, foreign iron Is coming in vol
ume and labor is scarce.
The Situation inspiring.
Interior points. especially in the cot
ton belt OF the southwest, seem to be
pretty we'll supplied with funds, owing
to the large crops and the freer move
ment of cotton, and as a result bank
era from those sections have been
seeking commercial paper in Chicago
and st. Louis. All in all, the situation
throughout most sections of the coun'
&ry is an inspiring one, except In Vir'
.glnia, Carolinas and Georgia, where
injured crops have caused extensions
and hampered trade, and in parts OF
the northwest where bad weather and
slow wheat crop movement have made
trade and collections backward.
Expanding Export Trade.
Export trade is expanding owing Il
larger shipments of breadstuffs, main
" wheat. and to the beginning Of thu

Average Quality Better.
General average as to quality is 1915,
as compared with 9O.6 last year, s6.2
In 1904 and S31 in 1903. 1t is esti-
mated that about "A per cent OF the

in farmers hands on Nov, l, 1904, and
So per cent of the crop of 1902 in
farmers hands on Nov. /, 1903.

erage yield per acre of buckwheat is
1877 bushels, against an average yield
of 1872 as finally estimated in 1905,
1879 in 1904 and a ten-year average
of 1871. The average for quality is
9O.4 per cent, against SO last year,
91.5 in 1904 and ola in 1903.
The preliminary estimate of the av-

ALLEGED GRAFT AT FRISCO.
Grand Jury Returns Indictments on
Charge Of Extortlon.

San Francisco-The grand Jury has
brought FIVE indictments against May
or Eugene Schmitz and Abraham Ruef,
on the charge of extortion. On each
charge the bail was fixed at $4,000
and bond at $4,000.
The first alleged crime was in con-
nection with the Poodle Dog restau-
rant, and the indictment recites that
Reuf and Schmitz demanded money
from the proprietor, Tony Banco. AS
this demand was made, it is said, on
two occasions, two indictments were
returned. Extortion believed 10 have
been practived upon Ed Marchand,
proprietor of Marchand's restaurant, is
the basis of two more indictments.
A demand made upon Joe Malfanti,
another restaurant man, Is the alleged
offense on which the fifth and last
indictment was found.
Mayor Eugene Schmitz sailed for
Europe several weeks ago, 1t being
said that he was seeking rest from
the arduous labors following the earth
quake and fire.
The San Francisco papers are print
ing sensational stories, one to the ef
feet that the mayor has been shad
owed throughout Europe by federal de
tectives. 1t is also asserted that one
Of the greatest graft scandals Of recen
history is about to be uncovered.
There are rumors that funds sen
to San Francisco after the earth
quake and fire for the relief Of SUI
ferers found their way into other chan
nels; that when President Roosevelt

de Castellance, formerly Anna Gould,
Of New York, and gave her the custody
Of her children, who, however, win
not be allowed to be taken from
France without the consent Of their
father, Count Boni de Castellane.
The count is given the right to see
the children at stated periods at the
home of their grandmother. and keep
them a month annually during the holi-
days. He is also to share in their edu-
cation.
The counts demand for alimony OF
$50, 900 annually was pronounced ny
the court to be without foundation in
law and was rejected.

Nine. Gould, as the former Countess
de Castellane win hereafter be known
her title having ceased with the
granting Of the divorce-expressed the

ceived the news at her residence on

Gould, who will remain here until aft
CIR Christmas, was with her at the
time. Nine. Gould has no present In
tention Of leaving Paris.
Although the court denied the
counts application for an annuity,
there is the best ground for the state
ment that Nine Gould win make lib
eral allowance TO the father Of her
children. Further, 1t is again stated
that, so far as the creditors are con
cerned, the countess will settle all the
legitimate bills for household ex
penses, but she win continue to resisl

Summary of the Late
- General Elections.
.4a.t-ER-E4-s~F+t 44.tl,.i,.t4,.l

Washington-As the result Of the re-
cent elections there will be numerous
changes in the United States senate.
The terms of 30 senators expire March
3, 1907, and perhaps not more than
half of them are reasonably sure of re-
election. OF the 30 whose terms ex-
pire Is are republicans and is demo-
Gratis. On party lines the 30 vacancies
will be filled by 10 republicans and IL
democrats. On a straight party vote
the republicans now have a majority
OF %, but when all the vacancies are
filed and the new senators are elected
the majority will be 80, making the
vote stand 81 republicans and 29 dem
ocrats, giving the republicans a two
thirds majority, enough, barring anti
administration outbreaks, to enable
them to pass the treaties now hung
up.
The house of the Sixtieth congress
will have a republican majority, when
1t convenes, of about 20. This may be
| increased when contests are settled
This is quite difference compared
to the 112 majority in the present
house, but that majority has beer
found unwieldly by the speaker. The
gain was mostly made in New York
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois ant
Missouri, in districts normally demo
cratic.
Summed up, the republicans are II
power in the administration and II
both branches Of congress until Marcel
8, 1909. AS a party they can enac
such laws as they please or repeal ant
