UPHOLDS THE PRESIDENT.
Carnegie Says Mr.. Roosevelt's Railroad
Position Is Right One.

Washington, March 27.-Andrew Car
negie today expressed the following
opinion on the railroad situation:
81 absolutely endorse the President
attitude towards the railroads. He is.
the best friend they have and they
ought to realize it. The railroads had
better stand with him. If they do not
accept his moderate measures. they
may be confronted by a man in the
White House who will approach the
question of the railroads from ain en-
tirely different standpoint. l regard the
Presidents influence as to the railroads
as wholesome and conservative"
Mr.. Carnegie Iunched with the Pres
ident this afternoon.
1t was ascertained today that last
nights conference between President
Roosevelt and Edward r. Bacon of
New York. vice president of the Bal
timore & Ohio Southwestern Railroad,
and Edward j. Berwind of New York,
president of the Berwind White Coal
Mining Co.. had to do with existing fl
nancial conditions.
So far as can be learned today there
is no immediate intention on the part
of the President to make statement
outlining his attitude on the railroad
situation.

GLOOMY TlDlNoS.
This is Worst Season for Many Yeare
For the Seaiers.

st. Johns, \. F., March 27.-Gloomy
tidings from the seal fishing fleet off
the New Foundland coast were brought
here today by the sealing steamer
Grand Lake. Capt Knee of the steam
er declares that this is the worst sea
son for seals in his 40-years' experience.
The Grand Lake lost two blades of her
propeller in an encounter with the ice
and was Obliged to return here She had
only 10000 seals on board. Capt. Knee
reported that at the time he left the
feet, the steamer Adventure had Sc
cured but $4,000 seals, the Neptune
IL. co., the Verginia Lake 5000 and the
Ranger 30Oc, while the rest of the
steamers were empty.
The steamer Greenland, with $50 men
aboard, broke her main shaft during
heavy weather on Saturday last. Her
master attempted to induce the cap
tain Of the steamer Diana to take 100 of
the men on board that vessel, but this
was not done. as there was not room
on the Diana to accommodate the men.
During ii severe blizzard on Sunday the
Greenland was driven seward and had
not been seen by the other vessels up
to the time the Grand Lake started for
this port. 1t is feared that the Green
land has met with further trouble.
There is no vessel at this port which
can be sent to search for her. The
steamer Adventure which is expected
here next week. will probably be sent
out. if the Greenland is not heard from
before then. The Greenland has very
little canvass to make sail with.
The vessel owners are discouraged
over the failure of the seal hunting sea-
sou, the entire fleet Of 20 ships having
taken only enough seals to fill one YES
sell Fifteen steamers, which have been
damned in the ice packs have taken no
seals. In some parts of the hunting
grounds the ice is piled 40 feet high.

Many Killed in
Bloody Battles.

Berlin, March 2S.-According to the
CZernowitz correspondent of the Lokal
Anzeiger. the situation in Wallachia
grew worse yesterday. The number of
persons killed daily is growing enor-
nous. Three hundred persons have been
killed in an encounter between peas
ants and the military at Stareskie and
there have been two bloody battles at
Nastanestir in one of which Lieut..
Jonilescu lost his life. The peasants
tore the body of the lieutenant to pieces
and danced around the bloody remains
to wild music.
Similar acts are reported from the
districts of Dinbrovitza and Doll.
where numerous villages and farms
have been burned down. The situation
in GalatZ is most threatening. The
longshoremen there are fraternizing
with the peasants. The project of Ga
latZ has ordered all shops closed for
three days, and the people are in a
state of wild panic.
