FLEET AT.
BELLINGHAM, WASH.

Bellingham, Wash, May 22.
With myriads Of electric lights
cleaning and their searchlights play
ing across the heavens, seven Of the
Atlantic battleship fleet rested last
night in the spacious harbor of Bel
lingham Bay. The fleet was official
ly welcomed here by the municipal
authorities and the officers and shore
leave men last night were entertain

Shortly after midnight the fleet
rounded Cape Fattery an dentered
the Strait Of Juan de Fuca, at Port
Angeles. The Louisiana, Virginia,
Missouri and Ohio left the line and
turned into Port Angeles. .
Opposite Port Townsend the Illi-

E.. V ~ e
Antwerp, May 22.One Of the
worst railroad accidents In Europe in
recent times occurred at Contich, q
station six miles southeast OF this
city, on the main line, at o'clock
yesterday morning. The exact num-
ber Of victims had not been deter
mined up to a late hour last night,
owing to the difficulty Of removing
the bodies from the debris. hut the
latest estimate places the number at
sixty killed and one hundred wound
ed. ss..
The catastrophe appears to have
been due to defective switch where
the main line crosses the local line.
At this point the train, CARRYING q
large number of pilgrims on their
way to q local shrine, was standing.
Into this the Antwerp-Bru Brussels Elk
press dashed at q speed Of fifty miles
an hour, literally laaping on top OF
lat. The heavy coaches Of the express
crushed the lighter train into splint-
ers. The sides Of the express car

were torn from their fastenings. the
floors practically collapsing, thus
precipitating the passengers to the
side of the track uninjured, whence
they fed, frenzied, across the fields.
But for this fact the death roll would
be much greater. A few occupants
of the lacol train escaped uninjured.
Those that were not killed, were bad
ly injured, many OF them mortally.
The rescuers, even the doctors who
were hardened to such scenes, were
sickened at the sight that met their
gaze. Evidences were found of the
horrible death struggles that occur
red in the crushed coaches. In one
place dismembered and clutching one
Of the supports OF the torn car, one
body was found lying across the boil
er of the locomotive, crushed into
|shapeless mass. The majority Of the
dead could not be recognized, either
being decapitated OF their heads
being terribly crushed.
The judicial authorities OF Ant
werp soon arrived on the scene and
opened an investigation into the dis
aster. They ordered the signal men
In charge Of the switches under arr
rest, although II ID believed by the
authorities that they were blameless.
The engineer and fireman Of the ex-5
press were both killed at their posts.
Prince Albert went to Contich last
evening and visited the injured, hav-s
ing cancelled his engagement to pre-
side at banquet at Antwerp.

Sensational Divorce Case Against U. S. Senator
Dismissed by New York Supreme Court.
Plaintiff Arrested for Perjury and Held
in the Tombs Under $4,000 Ball.
Justice score.s the Plaintiff.

New York, May 22.-Mae c. Wood,
whose suit for absolute divorce from
United States Senator T. C. Platt of
New York has been on trial on the
supreme court here for several days,
was committed to the Tombs Prison
late yesterday after Justice O'Gor-
man had dismissed the complaint in
her action and ordered her held in
$4,000 bail on the charge of perjury.
The decision in Senator Platt's favor
and the sudden and sensational end
of the suit came after the day, which
the defense occupied largely with
the Introduction of expert testimony
attacking the authenticity of docu-
ments by which the plaintiff was
seeking to establish her alleged mar
riage to Senator Platt. A -landwrit-
ing expert testified that in his opin-
ion the body Of the letter in which
Senator Platt was alleged to have
admitted his relation as husband to
the plaintiff was added after the SEN
ator's signature had Heen affixed.
More telling still for the defense
were the dispositions by engravers
and stationers called by the counsel
for Senator Platt that the blank
form upon which the alleged Platt-
Wood marriage certificate was pre-
pared was not Autographed until
three months after the date upon
which the marriage Of Miss Wood to
Senator Platt was alleged to have
taken place. Miss Wood was recall
led to the stand in rebuttal. She
was asked if after hearing the test
imony about the marriage certificate
she still reiterated that the defend
ant gave her the certificate as she
previously testified.
.sI still reiterate it." she replied.
Justice O'Gorman turned to Miss

,e repeated her assertion that the
g arriage occurred as she had stated.
Q b admitted that Senator Platt new
( supported her, and when asked by
court If she did not consider it
h duty Of the husband to support
his wife, she replied:
81 do, but as long as he was not
enough of a gentlman to do so,
never asked him to-
Senator Platt's counsel then moved
for a dismissal of the complaint. 1t
was forthwith granted by Justice
O'Gorman, who in rendering his de-
cision said:
ri cannot credit the plaintiffs evil
dence as to the alleged marriage.
and the testimony as 1t impresses
the court is that this is the most
wicked design to support a false and
fictitious claim by forgery and per-
jury"
Forthwith Justice O'Gorman order
ed Miss Wood committed to the
Tombs on the charge of perjury, fix
ing the bail in her case at $4,000.
She was obviously staggered by
the sudden turn Of affairs and the
shock caused by the order Of arrest
which the court made. She quickly
regained her composure, however
and by the time she reached the
city prison had resumed the air OF
confidence which she held practical.

SENATE POLITICAL DEBATE

Washington, March 16.-Under the guise of discussing legislation, the session of the senate was devoted to political discussion. in which Senator Tillman, of South Carolina and Sena- tor Beveridge of Indiana. were the chief participants. The senate considered the conference report on the Indian appropriation bill, and after some crit icism O. the action of the conference as to minor provisions, the report was disagreed to and another conference asked.
 The house bill appropriating $403.000 to pay the Archbishop of Manila as representative of the Roman Catholic church for damage done to church property during the Spanish war. was passed.
 With caution unusual for him. Sen atOr Tillman read a part of a speech in which he denounced executive en- crOachment on legislative power With this apparent caution he proceeded to deliver one of the most direct denun- ciatOry addresses ever heard in that body. He was given careful hearing most of the senators of both sides be- ing in their places and the galleries were filled with visitors. His speech was based on his resolution to inquire whether the national banks of New York were in the habit of furnishing
