icised in Reichstag,

Berlin, Nov. 11.-Emperor William
never has been SO severely judged by
his parliament as he was during the
debate in the reichstag on the inter
pellations concerning the conversa-
tions published with the permission
of the emperor in the London Daily
Telegraph, on Oct 28, The criti-
cisms of his majesty's court, his min
listers and his majesty's4 treatment Of
the constitution, as well as of his free
dom of speech, went to lengths that
astonished observers acquainted with.
the traditional caution of the cham
ber In dealing with the personality Of
the sovereign. And the emperor
seemed to have no defenders.
Chancellor Won BueIow made an
address lasting fifteen minutes, but
he lacked his usual spirit, and per
son high in his confidence is authority
for the statement that he also had
told the emperor that neither himself
nor his successors could remain In
Office unless his majesty was more re-
served Prince Won Buelow spoke
solemnly, and without making use OF
any dramatic effects. The house re-
ceived his explanation in icy silence.
instead Of giving it that cordial ap-
plause which as general thing fol-
lows the chancsllor's fine parliament
tary declarations.

WATTERs0N's SON KILLED
Falls From Window of a New York

New York. Nov 12.-Harvey M.
Watterson, lawyer and younger son
OF Henry Watterson, editor of the
Louisville Courier Journal, plunged to
his death from the nineteenth floor of
his Office building at 81 Wall street.
His body shot downward for Ito feet
and landed on the roof of a ten-story
building adjoining. Almost every
bone was broken, the head was
crushed and death was practically in.
stantaneous.
While there were no eyewitnesses
TO the tragedy, evidently it was en-.
tirely accidental Mr. Watterson's
hat and overcoat were on his closed
desk. Presumably he had attempted
to lower the window and either stun
bling over the radiator, which was in
front of the low SILL or losing his
footing in some manner unknown,
pitched forward and down to death on
the roof below.

Many Others Hurt in Louisiana
Railroad Wreck.
FIRE ADDS TO The HORROR
Heroic Work Of Survivors Saves
Many From Cremation.

New Orleans, Nov. 12-Eight dead
and many injured was the toll in hui
man flesh and blood that paid for the
! errors Of railroad trainmen when a
Great Northern express crashed into
the rear of New Orleans and North
eastern local at Little Woods station,
O fishing and hunting camp on Lake
Ponchartrain, twelve miles from this
city.
The wrecks was attended by unusual
" gruesome scenes in the fog-bound
swamps of the lake shore. To add to
the horror Of the situation the wreck
caught lire and only the heroic work
OF the surviving passengers prevented
the cremation Of those pinned down
In the debris.
When Engineer Blackman of the
Great Northern train took the North
eastern tracks at Slidell he says he
was given the usual right of way sig
nal and proceeded to send his train
toward New Orleans at 45-mile an
hour clip. AS the station at Little
Woods was approached the Northeast
ern local suddenly loomed ZIP through
the fog. Engineer Elackman applied
his brakes and remained at the throt-
tie while the ponderous locomotive
plowed its way through the train
ahead, leaving behind it trail Of
corpses and injured passengers.
No one on the Great Northern ey-
press was seriously hurt, but those
aboard the Northeastern local We're
not so fortunate The nose of the
big express engine had torn its way
entirely through the two rear coaches
of the local and the crash and sound
of splitting timbers was followed by
the walls and groans Of those pinned
down in the wreckage.
That some one blundered all agree,
bnt the Northeastern officials say that
the Great Northern train should have
proceeded cautiously after receiving
warning at Slidell that the local
train was running ahead of them late.
The Great Northern train crew
claimed they received no warning at
Slidell and that even if thy had been
warned the Northwestern train should
have sent a f1agman back when the
stop was made at Little Woods.
