not expecting that important business
would be taken up.
The governments S majorites on previous
details OF the bill have been in the neigh
borhood of 100. But there has been much
dissatisfaction among members of all par
ties over the provision compelling other
sections of the United Kingdom to con-
tribute to the support of Ireland without
voice in the expenditure of the money.
The cabinet council held after the gov
ernment's defeat, lasted two hours, at
the end of which its decision not to re-
sign was announced. An official state
ment which was issued, declares that the
adoption of the amendment was clearly
due to snap division on a motion which
was not even put on the order paper
and which was destructive of the resolii-
tion passed November 7, by majority of
121.
The government therefore, the state
nent concludes, does not consider that
its defeat necessitates any change in it's
programmes which. in respect to home
rule, has been supported BY majorities

sengers injured when through freight
train crashed into the rear end Of a iorth-
bound excursion train on the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley railroad near MONTE,
La, at I2:20 this morning
The appalling disaster is charged by
the railroad officials to the negligence
of a flaglnan named Cunningham, who

five negro men.
Forty-one of the injured are white

Although the scene OF the wreck is
but 81 miles north Of New Orleans and
relief trains were sent from this city aud
from Baton Rouge. the railroad officials
withheld from the press Information Of
the wreck until a late hour this morn
ing.
An amazing feature of the wreck was
that the loss of life was confined al
most entirely to the last and fourth rom
the last coaches of the excursion train.
The second from. the rear coach escaped
injury almost completely The excursion
train was made up OF ten coaches. with
negroes occupying all but the two rear
coaches,
The rear coach was demolished and the
third and fourth cars were telescoped.
All three. together with the freight en-.
gine were burned.
Pathetic stories of the CHASTITY horror
were brought to New Orleans today by
survivors. nanS of whom barely escaped
death. The confusion and excitement in
cident to the distressing scenes Of death
and suffering was Increased BY the cries
and exciamations of the hundreds OF ne
groes who ran about in a panic stricken
condition.

and lent their earnest aid to the heroic
efforts OF white passengers to save from
the flames those pinioned beneath the
