CANAL FROM GOTHAM
 TO THE RIO GRADE
Is Prediction of Congressman Alexan' der of Waterways Commission.
 Investigate Possibilities.

New Iberia, La, March 29.-The predic- tion of an intercostal canal, which will extend from New York down the Atlantic coast to Florida and along the Gulf of Mexico coast of the United States to the Rio Grande river was made today hv Congressman D. s. Alexander of New York. He is one of party of members of the rivers and harbors committee which is inspecting Louisiana waterways. He said that this project will hardly be realized in this generation. The possi- bilities of building such a canal across the low lands of Louisiana have been the sneclal features to which the committee mems attention have been directed. In coming to New Iberia the congFesslohai marty visited the land of Evangeline made famous by Longfellow, and their welcome was frightened by wafon load of flowers sent to meet the special train

RESEN1S BLAMING
 MEN FOR WRECKS
GOMPERS SAYS RAILROAD MAN. AGERS TRY TO SHIFT BLAME FOR HORRIBLE ACCIDENTS FROM THEMSELVES.

Washington, March 29.-(Special.)- President Samuel Gompers of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor resents what he says is an attempt of the railroad managers, by innuendo. to shift the blame from themselves to the railway mems unions for the many wrecks that have recently shocked the country.
 Tt is not strange says he, that the public has placed the blame where it rightfully belongs-that is. on the man. agement of the railroads, nor is it strange that the railroad managers should, by some manner or means, endeavor to throw the odium from their own should CTS to that of others, and what is more reasonable than that the managers should endeavor to throw the odium in some form or other upon the unions of labor. At least, those prejudiced against organ ized labor will be willing to believe the asperson, no matter how far fetched the charge"
 At the recent conference of railroad presidents in Chicago it was given cs.t that the awful wrecks are due to lack of discipline among the employees and the question, are the labor unions respon- sible for the majority of wrecks. seems to have been answered in the affirmative by the railroad presidents. MT. Gompers speaks of the loyalty of organized labor men to their duties. He declares that defective equipments are totally ignored by railroad presidents in accounting for accidents. over worked men in charge of trains, he says, is a condition for which the arrangements are responsible and he points out the opposition that railroad companies made to the hours of service act in the last CongresA-

 ter Busse.

Chicago. March 29-Chieago is ex- periencing one of the bitterest mayoralty campaigns in the history of the city. Mayor Edward r. Dunne is the democra- tic candidate while the republicans ara pinning their faith on Fred A. Busse, postmaster of Chicago
 At the commencement of the campaign the street railway ordinances were tho issues but a personal fight so bitter char- acter has developed that the real issue has almost been lost sight of
 Every newspaper in the city, both morn- ing and afternoon, with the exception of two, arc supporting Postmaster Busse's street car ordinances, recently passed by the city council over Mayor Dunne's veto. The interests of Mayor Dunne are be- ing looked after by the two newspapers of w. R. Hearst. and the voters arc be- ing treated to some choice political argii- ments. Ancient history, some of it said to be true and a great deal of it declared false, Is being resurrectcd and as a result libel suits involving $2,500,000 have been started and many more arc threatened. The workers of both parties have made a thorough house to house canvass of the city and tonight figures were offered which showed the election of both candi- dates by large majorities
 Today being a holiday there was a lull in the campaign, but the struggle will be renewed tomorrow with increased force, the state legislature at Springfield having adjourned until the day after election so that Chicago members could return to their homes and be on the ground to fight for their respective candidates.
 The most pretentious meeting during the last twenty-four hours was held last night at the auditorium under republican auspices.

Cotton, Cal, March 29-As a result of the wreck of the Sunset express on the Southern Pacific at Cotton yesterday aft ernoon the death list tonight had reached twenty-two. The bodies of nearly all have ben identified. As to the number of bodies that still remain beneath the de- bris and half-demolished cars, accounts tonight differ.
 The wreck has not been cleared away vii the rapldity that had been expected. While positive statements have been made to the effect that there are from four to eight bodies under one of the cars. the railroad officials as positively declare there is no evidence to that effect
 Several of the injured at the local hos pitals cannot survive.
 Responsibility for the accident will not be officially determined until tomorrow evening, when the coroners inquiry is concluded.
 The adjournment was taken in order that the dispositions of the injured engi- neers and firemen of the Overland might be secured. The witnesses examined in- elude the switching crew which has been blamed for the accident
 It was admitted that one had been at work only two days; that the services of q second had been only of two weelSs and that the third had been employed in the yards three weeks One fireman of the switch engine had never read the rules of the yard.
 T. F. Alyord, foreman of the crew. testified that he had been notified at o'clock that the Overland was eight hours late, and that he had received no subse- quent notification of it's whereabouts. A switchman testified that up to the mo- mont of its appearance he believed that the Overland had gone through. It was declared that Engineer Wormington had violated one of the regulations by en- tering the yards at a rate of speed va riously estimated at from thirty to fifty miles an hour, when his train should have been under complete control.

Boston, March 29.-H M Whitney, a prominent Massachusetts democrat. and former candidate for lieutenant gover- nor, tonight made public a letter he had just received from William J. Bryan dealing with the railroad question. The letter was in response to one from Mr. Whitney, in which he asked: "Whether, in your judgment, there Is any danger that regulations will be carried to the point of preventing q reasonable return on money invested in the railroads of the country, and whether in ease of adoption of government ownership by the nation, or by the several states. the stockholders could expect to receive a price equal to the value of the physical railroad proper ties9a
