WRECK HURTS SCORE; 8 MAY DIE

Car Breaks from Engine on Grade
and Rolls Into Mill.
In wreck on the new Pittsburg, Har-
mony, Butler and New Castle street rail-
way at Evans City, Pa, twenty-one work
men were severely injured, three of them
perhaps fatally. While mounting a steep
grade car loaded with workmen and
coal broke from the engine and rolled
backward with great speed. A sharp
curve was encountered and the car left
the track, plunging into a flour mill. As
the line is not completed into Butler it
was necessary to haul the injured two
miles to hospitals there.

WORK OF
CONGRESS
O~OO0%~NN"


The brief session of the Senate Mon
day was devoted to the transaction of
routine business and the delivery of
speech by Senator Scott of West Vir-
ginia. urging adequate appropriations for
public buildings so that official business
may be transacted with the greatest eff
cheney and economy. When the naval
bill was laid aside for the day in the
House it had been one-half disposed of.
The hopes of the officers of the navy and
marine corps for an increase in pay were
dashed to the ground when, on a point of
order by Mr.. Madden of Illinois, there
was stricken from the bill the provision
for such increase. On a similar point by
Mr.. Mudd of Maryland, an amendment
by Mr.. Bartholdt OF Missouri prohibiting
naval or marine bands accepting private
employment in competition with civilian
musicians was lost.

Injunction against the enforcement of
State laws can only be issued by a major
ity of three federal judges, who are to
pass upon them if bill that passed the
Senate Friday becomes a law. The bill
was opposed by Mr.. Hepburn on the
ground that the great distances between
federal courts in the West would operate
to delay the granting of necessary in
functions Senator Knox favored the
bill. The attitude of Emperor William
and the Berlin court toward David Jayne
Hill was the subject of comment in the
House during the consideration of the
diplomatic and consular bill. Mr.. Per-
kins of New York and Mr.. Slayden of
Texas condemned the practice of select
ing men of great wealth to 4, the nations
diplomatic representatives. Under Ii
cense of general debate Mr.. Griggs of
Georgia spoke in advocacy of the disfran-

The two features of interest in the
Senate Tuesday were the speech of Sen
ator Foraker on the Brownsville affair
and the Presidents message advocating
the building of four more battle ships
The delivery of the speech and the read
ing of the message consumed practically
the entire time Of the session. The ex-
pected fight in the House over the ques-
ton whether there shall be two or four
battle ships authorized for the coming
year did not materialize, while the naval
appropriation bill was under considera-
ton. Instead, most OF the session was
devoted to a lively debate in regard to
naval stations in the Philippines. The
sum of 100000, as recommended by the
committee for improving and developing
the naval station at Olongapo, Subig Bay,
was allowed to stand. The special mes
sage from President Roosevelt urging
four battle ships ELECTED loud applause.
The naval bill was not concluded when
the House took a recess until IL 80
Wednesday.

The Senate was not in session Thurs
day. The long existing controversy as to
whether the United States navy should
have submarine torpedo boats of the Hol-
land type, as recommended by the COM
mittee on naval affairs, was settled in the
House when the proviso limiting the
Secretary of the Navy to purchase only
boats of the Holland type was stricken
out. The effect of this action was to give
the Secretary free hand in the selection
of submarine boats. A humorous speech
by Mr.. Williams. in which he had sew
eral friendly clashes with Mr.. Hobson OF
Alabama over warships and balloons,
commanded the attention of the House for
some time. After agreeing to take up the
diplomatic and consular appropriation bill
next, the House adjourned.
