THE S. P. ACCIDENT

The Humboldt Star gives the
following particulars of the blow
ing up of the Southern Pacific
engine Thursday afternoon.
The train was running about
thirty miles an hour when the
accident occurred. Engineer
Robinson was killed instantly and
Fireman Cool died about fifty
minutes after the explosion.
The explosion was so great that
the huge boiler of the engine was
thrown distance of about 400 feet
to the south side of the track.
The. tender was thrown about the
same distance to the north side of
the track. The body of the engineer
was found half buried in the sand
about fifty feet from the track on
the north side. There was deep
cash in his head, which wound
undoubtedly caused instant death.
Otherwise his body was not bruised
very much.
Fireman Cool was found about
fifty feet from the track on the
south side. He lived nearly an
hour after being picked up. Like
the engineer, his body was not badly
mutilated. A peculiar fact is that
the running gear of the engine re-
manned on the track.
4 AS a result of the explosion eleven
cars were trown in a conglomerat-
ed mass across the track. Some of
the cars were thrown on end and
others upside down and the con-
tents was scattered in all direc-
tions. The track was badly twist
ed and torn up for a distance of
about 400 feet.
Brakeman Molitier, who was
riding Or tn tenth car from the
engine, saved his life by holding on
to the running board. The car
that he was on was tossed and
rolled and finally landed on emo,
but the brakeman held on and was
not injured.
After the accident two hobus
were seen crawling from under a
car that was loaded with water pipe
and was upside down. Neither of
the men was injured in the least.
Brakeman Molitirr, who had the
awful experience on. the box-car,
stated that he saw the boiler in the
air and that the ponderous mass
Of metal was turning end over end.
This was substantiated, for the
boiler was imbeded in the sand
headed in an opposite direction to
which the train was going.
The engine was one Of the newest
put in service and was supposed t.
be in good order when sent out on
the fatal trip. The supposed cause
of the explosion was low water in
the boiler, but it is said the engine
took water at Winnemucca. If 81
it could hardly be a lack of water
in the boiler as the explosion oc-
cured only twenty-five miles dis
tant. A complete Investigation is
being made by government in
spectors.

BRANDEeEE AGAINST IT.
Believes Canal Bill Violates Our
 Treaty Obligations.
fSnacial tn The Rnlletln. ]

Especial to The Bulletin.)
 Washington, Aug. 1S.-NotWithstand- ing the fight put up by Senator Bran degee, the chairman of the senate committee on interoceanio canals, the report of the eopferees on the canal bill was adaRted by the senate Friday night by vote of 4S to Is,
 Senator Brandegee urged that the bill be defeated, as not sufficient time had been given to study the different provisions, He asked that the bill ba allowed to go over for the session and that a committee of the senate and house be appointed te thrash out ths problems of the administration of the canal. Tine officials of the canal" hf said, asked us for a bill that would simply provide the machinery te open the canal and would suppIant the present construction force with aa 6p- erating force. But the opportunity has been taken to amend the inter state commerce laws and te inject a wealth of additional detail into the bill
 T believe the bill as 1t stands is a 'violation of our treaty obligations with Great Britain. and I cannot vote for ie l believe the free tolls provision is a distinct violation of the treaties. ask the senate to reject this report and let the bill go over until next ses sion. when we can give 1t careful, ma- ture delfberatIon,"
 Senator Brandegee also criticised the provision in the bill excluding railroad owned ships from the canal He said that as framed the measure would prevent ships owned by carriers now under the jurisdiction of the in- tefstate commerce commission from using the canal and> would allow ships owned by foreign railroads to pass through,
 He advocated turning the whole mat. ter over to an expert committee, an( said we could get better results thar this bill shows,
 He said 1t would be impossible tt administer the amendment placed 1T the bill by Senator Reed of Missouri which f6Fbids the use of the canal by vessels owned controlled or eperateG by persons CT companies doing busi. ness in violation of the Sherman aeti
 Tine keeper of the canal" said he would be forced te hold up ever, vessel going through the canal te de, termine that fact"
 In conclusion, Senator Brandegei saidi T believe it would be a pubiit calamity to have this bill passed, Thl country will be better eff if thss, great questions are thrashed eu through long study"

ADJOURNMENT THIS WEEK.
But Several Important Measures Are
 Pending in Congress.

Washington, Aug. IS. - Important legislation that must be acted on be- fore congress adjourns stands today as follows:
 The Panama canal bill. before the president.
 The legislative, executive and judi- cial appropriation bill, approved by the house and now before the senate, with provision abOlishing the commerce court
 The naval, sundry civil and army ap- propriation bills, in conference be- tween the two houses
 The general deficiency appropria- tion bill, before the senate committee on appropriations
 The Indian appropriation bill, con ference report pending in the senate.
 While adjournment is expected this week, the date is generally conceded to depend upon the presidents attitude toward the Panama canal bill and the legislative, executive. judicial appro- pTiation bill. His veto of the latter measure last week was based upon it's provisions for the abolishment of the commerce court and the establishment of a. seven year tenure in the civil service. and the house has again risked the veto by passing the measure with the comm cree court provision in it. The senate will determine early in the week whether it will endorse the meas ure in this form.
