the day when he stated that scarcely
a moment after the explosion he met
Henry Hoskins, mail clerk, hobbling
beside the wreck Hoskins had been
badly bruised. Harris asked Hoskins
what had happened and Hoskins SAID
there was broken rail. which had

piode. Hoskins told Harris that he
felt the train run on the ties several
yards before the explosion came.
Harris said that Hoskins sued the
road for $1,000 for injuries received,
but that the suit was compromised
within a few days. Hoskins resigned

General Appropriation Bill Carries 49,.
100000 Pesos.

Manila.-After many extended and
apparently hopeless conferences, the
1nsular commission and the Philippine
assembly have finally arrived at an
agreement upon the general appropria-
ton bill, which 1t is believed both the
commission and the Assembly will
ratity. The compromise measure ap-
propriates 16.S0O,0OO pesos, the as
sembly making a concession of nearly
100000 pesos.
The appropriations agreed upon in
the bill are practically the same as the
actual expenditures last year. The
commission declined to assent to the
reduction in salaries and the consoli-
dation of some of the bureaus, as pro-
posed by the assembly. The personnel
|of the various bureaus and depart
ments remains unchanged.
