DReDeEs TO DIG CANAL.
Calls for Bids for Two
With Pipe Lines.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Revised spe-
cifcations have been prepared by the
Isthmian Canal commission for two
pipeline dredges to be used at La Boca
and Cristobal. Under the original
specifications bids were asked for ON
these dredges delivered in this country.
The new specifications ask for proposals
delivered ready for work in Panama,
one on the Pacific side Of the isthmus
and the other on the Atlantic side.
Proposals are also asked on the machin-
cry knocked down in Panama.
These dredges are required for harbor
work, as we'll as for dredging at the
ends OF the canal. The commission
now has two dipper dredges at work in
Panama and third dredge of this de-
scription is now building. The cost of
these dredges varies from 500, 600 and
S102, 500, and it is believed that the
cost OF the pipeline dredges will be
about the same. The commission also
has two sea-going dredges building near
Baltimore. Each Of these is 300 feet
long and is capable Of going TO sea under
its own steam at speed of eight or ten
knots an hour. One Of these will be
usedson the Pacific side Of the zone and
the other on the Atlantic.

HILL WILL RETIRE.
His Son to Assume Active Control Of
Great Northern.

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 29.-President
James j. Hill, of the Great Northern
railroad, the empire builder Of the
Northwest, will retire from the active
management of his mammoth enter
prises July l. 1907. The announce
ment is credited to Mr.. Hill himself in
conference held with Twin City busi-
ness men.
Mr.. Hills successor will be Louis w.
Hill, vice president Of the Great North
ern, who in reality has been in active
charge Of the road for the past three
years. L. W. Hill possesses to a con-
siderable extent the remarkable genius
of his father. as has been demonstrated
on more than one occasion. He has
also been carefully trained lin the ways
of his parent, and besides possessing
natural ability, lie thoroughly posted as
to the Hill methods and policies.
Rumors have been current at the be-
ginning Of the past few years that Mr..
Hill would retire, but the magnate has
kept as hard at work as ever. Despite
his 81 years he is as strong intellectual
ly as 20 years ago, but he feels that the
is entitled to rest from his hard la
bors. In public speech delivered
some time ago he said that he was pre-
pairing to lift some of the burdens from
his back. He said he hoped that he
would devote considerable time to read
ing, a pleasure which he has not been
able to pursue as much as he would

roc CAUSES WRECK.
ThirY-five Killed and Many injured In
Suburb of Washington.

Washington, Dec. 3l.-An appalling
disaster resulting in the death Of about
35 persons and injuries, as far as can
be learned, to about so persons, occur
red about $3.50 O'Clock last night on the
Baltimore 4 Ohio railroad at Terra
Gotta, suburb of Washington. The
Frederick City, Nd, local No. Sc, on
the point of pulling out from the sta
tion, was run into by train made up
entirely of eight empty coaches bound
from the West for Washington.
The engineer could not see the block
on account of the heavy fog and plung-
ed ahead on his mission of death. A
dense fog and drixzling rain prevailed
during the day and the night and to
the inability Of the engineer of the rear
train to see the signal showing that
another was in the block is attributed
the accident. The grade at the place
where the accident occurred is down.
ward and the tracks were slippery.
The wrecked train was composed Of
an engine, smoking car and two day
coaches. The two rear coaches were
reduced to kindling wood, and the rear
Of the smoker was telescoped. So great
was the impact that the local train was
scattered along the track for consid-
cradle distance. Fortunately the wreck
age did not take FIRE.
Traffic was delayed by the accident,
and it was after midnight before the
bodies Of the dead could be brought to
the city. There was an entire absence
of any attempts at theft. As soon as
possible the bodies were covered and
laid aside to await the coming Of the
train sent from the city.
From the appearance of the bodies it
is believed that nearly all of the vic
Tins were killed outright or died with
in few minutes after the accident.

Russia Delays Fixing Date.

London, Dec. 81. - For some time
Great Britain has been trying to induce
Russia to fix date for the next Hague
peace conference, but thus far without
success. 1t has been urged that May
would be the most convenient month,
but although this suggestion was made
early in the fall, no reply has been re-
ceiyed. The British delegates probably
will include cabinet minister in ad-
dition to James Bryce, the newly an
pointed American ambassador. How
ever, the delegates will not be announc-
ed until something is heard from Russia.

EUROPE CRIPPLED.
Al Communication Stopped and Some
Lives Lost by Storm

London, Dec. 29.-It has been many
years since Central Europe generally
has suffered 80 severely from an Arctic
visitation a. II has this week. From
France, Belgium, Switzerland, Ger
many and Austria-Hungary the same
tale is repeated Of heavy snow storms,
interruption Of yehicular, telegraphic
and railroad communication, loss OF
life and general discomfort.
While Great Britain a. q rule escapes
winter weather, she has suffered this
year to an almost unprecedented degree.
According to reports tonight from
northern points, the storm is growing
worse. The heavy snowstorms which
began several days ago still continue.
They are accompanied by violent gales
and even thunder storms in some
places, and have resulted in serious
railroad accident near Arborath, Scot
land, In which about so persons we're
killed or suffered serious injury.
Railroad traffic in the north Of Eng
land and especially Scotland is becom-
ing completely tied up. Large towns
like Edinburgh, Dundee and Perth are
almost isolated. The telegrapbic SER
vices are disorganized and would be
completely useless but for the extension
in recent years Of the underground
wires. The snowstorms continue with
equal severity in Northern Wales and
In Ireland.
