As a result of two snowslides on Canyon creek. In the Coeur d'AIene mountains, yesterday three families consisting of twelve or fourteen person?, are mangled and bruised beneath thousands of tons of snow and any possibility of any of them being rescued ulive Is out of the question. Snow had accumulated on the mountains to a depth of fully sixty feet, and the late rains caused the huge mass to move at several )laces. Yesterday a section of snow three mn ired feet In kngth near the B! u k Hear mine became detached and started down the steep mountain side at a terrific pace, and bvlore the inhabitants cf the canyon In the path of the slide could lice the mighty avalanche as upon them. Trees were torn up by the roots, bowlders carried along with gre.it force, the whole sinking the earth as if an earthquake had occurred. Two families whose names could not be learned, together with their homes, were caught and carried along with the slide and buried out of Fight at the rottom of the canyon. Others unaccounted for are also be'leved to have been killed. Soon after the first slide took place another occurred further up the canyon near Burke, and here further fatalities occurred. A family named Chilson, consisting of father, mother and three children, heard the avalanche coming. Picking up the children, the frantic parents attempted to flee to a Place of safety, but before they had gone lifty yards they were overtaken by the resistless mass of snow and crushed to death. Attempt to Wreck a i, II. & II. Train. OXFORD. ().. March 30. An attempt was made Thursday right to wreck the St. Iouis express on the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Davton road, which leaves Cincinnati at 7:15 and Is due here at 8::X A through freight, which parsed here at 7:15. running ten miles an hour, was almost derailed by an obstruction on the hlh bridge south of this place. The extra heavy, engine and its great speed prevented a terrible wreck, and aLso saved the express, which the wreckers were after, and which carried a large amount cf money, as well as a large number of passengers. The bridge is one hundred feet high. Sutherland In Cnnntla. MONTREAL. M?rch 30.-Kennet H. F. Sutherland, the fugitive ex-justice of Gravetnd. who fled to escape one year's Imprisonment, is in this city. He says he went from New York to Buffalo and thence to Canada. Sutherland seems to feel that he has been betrayed, and It would not be at all surprising if ho were to tell all he knows. Ills utterances might be looked uion In the nature of an Indirect threat to his old political friends In case matters are not 'atraigr.tened" for him lu Brooklyn.

Ask your Grocer PftEPAKING for war Governor Waite Orders a Militia Gcipany to Be RccruriSJT It Is Said, for the Purpose of Ousting the Old Police Board of Denver Tho Supreme Court Acts Again. DENVER, Col.. March SO. It leaked out here to-night that Governor Walte is preparing to call out the troops again to enforce his order removing Police Commissioners Orr and Martin.' The following special dispatch from Lake City received by the Republican tells the story: "W. II. Whinney, captain of Company A, C. N. G., received telegraph orders at 4 o'clock thH afternoon t place ten men under one officer at the armory to prevent seizure. Late this evening orders were receive! by Captain Whinney to recruit his company to eighty-four men for three months service. The orders both came from Colonel McCoy, of Pueblo." The controversy between the old and the new police boards Is again In the Supreme Court. To-day Judge Glynn, of the District Court, notified Judge Allen, a coordinate judge, that he had dissolved the latter's Injunction restraining the newboard from interfering with the action of the old members. M. F. Taylor, attorney for the old board, Immediately obtained from the Circuit Court a writ of prohibition restraining Glynn from taking any further action in the matter whatever. This writ makes the Glynn injunction against the old board Inoperative and also makes his action In dismissing Judge Allen's Injunction void. The latter injunction is still in force, and had Judge Glynn punished any violation of his injunction, as was expected, such action would have been made void by the writ of prohibition. The writ will remain In force until argument Is heard, and even this may not cause it to be quashed. Any move against the writ will have to come from Judge Glynn. lie will probably a?k to have it dissolved and then a day will be set for argument. It is said, however, that he may ignore it, and should ho cl) fo the worst sort of a legal complication will be established. Mayor Vanhorn proposes to cause the arrest of all thirties implicated in the storing of dynamite in the City Hall. They are liable to lines aggregating 2,l0. WEATHER FORECAST.

WHEN

ACCIDENT AT PE0KIA A Stand-Pipe Containing 1,500,000 Gallons of Water Collapses, Crushes On Boy to Death, Fatally Injures Three Jlore and Wounds and .Bruises Others. PEORIA, 111., March 20. Shortly after 11 o'clock this morning the citizens of Peoria were startled by a dull roar that came from the direction of the West Bluff. In a few minutes a fire alarm had been turned In. Shortly after the patrol wagon and ambulances were dashing up the street to the corner of Bourland and College avenue. This is the spot where the great standpipo of the Peoria Water Company was located. When within two blocks of the place all were obliged to stop. Great volumes of water were rushing- through the streets, houses were floating awajr, fences JKmI& jJiDlishe.d and Jtaur feet of water was rapidly spreading over the vicinity and flooding the sewers of the city. All was confusion and terror. Investigation showed th3 massive standplpe, 120 feet in height, and twenty-five feet In diameter, had collapsed. No warning was given to the people in the vicinity, but with a few sharp cracks and a dull roar 1.5i,C00 gallons of water were precipitated to the gicund. Several workmen were onijaged on the tower at the time it fell, and how they escaped instant death is marvelous. The pipe stood In a vacant lot ussd by children as a playground. One of them, Frank Hogan, was caught between the mass of steel and literally crushed Into the earth. Others were injured. The great pipe lies crushed like an eggshell across the vacant lot and into the street. Five or six houses across the street were swept from their foundations and carried many feet. One large house Is In ruins. The property loss will not be less than $30,000, and besides the death of the one lad mentioned three others of the injured will die. A list of the casualties follows: FRANK IIOGAN, cauht beneath the falling tower and Instantly killed. . FRANK CALDWELL., frightfully injured; will vJe. W. D. NORRIS, terrible gash in temple; will die. WILLIAM KENNEDY, badly crushed and cut; will die.

CRISP STILL AMY

The Speaker Again Rules the House with an Iron Hand. Ho Refuses to Entertain Motions of Republicans and Orders Mr. Reed to Take His Seat. X SEXATORSHIP DECLINED 3Ir. Crisp Says His Duty Impels Him to Stay in the House. Many Members Have United in Requesting Him to Continue as Speaker Amending the Tariff Bill. WASHINGTON, March 30. When Speaker Crisp ascended the rostrum to-day he was given a rousing reception from the members on both Bides of the House, the demonstration lasting fully a minute. Th battle of yesterday evening was promptly renewed by Mr. Reed on a challenge of a correctness of the Journal in falling to show Mr. Palne's point of order on the question of but one teller acting. On a rising vote the journal was approved, and, on a call of yeas and nays, the previous question was ordered, and debate limited to fifteen minutes on either side. After 'a speech by Mr. Reed regarding the Speaker's ruling yesterday, Mr. Reed's motion to amend the journal was voted down. The vote on approving the Journal showed a quorum voting. Mr. Reed's motion to adjourn was decided out of order and the Speaker declined to entertain an appeal and again refused to Btate the grounds of refusal, holding that no membei has a right to inquire the grounds of a decision any more than a lawyer has to demand the same thing of a Judgo on the bench. "That looks very much like tyranny," remarked Mr. Reed sarcastically. The next episode was the overruling of Mr. Boutelle's point of order that the President's message vetoing the seigniorage bill could not be read, the House having ma.de the contested election cases the special order. Again the Speaker refused to entertain an appeal. The veto message was then read. Mr. Bland gave notice that next Tuesday, he would move to pass the bill over the veto. During the roll call on Mr. Burrows's motion to reconsider the vote by which the House had declared Mr. Joy not entitled to his seat. Mr. Reed, standing near the clerk's desk, said he would like to be permit le 1 to see the roll call taken. This was resented bv the Speaker, who sharply ordered Mr. Reed to take his seat and directed the Herg-eant-at-arms to enforce order, as Mr. Heel did not move fast enough to suit. "This is entirely unnecessary." said Mr. Reed looking the Speaker In the eye. "Is it notr replied the Speaker. "Instead of taking your seat you respond every time." "Certainly I do, because the Chair has attacked me." eald Mr. Reed, now thoroughly aroused. There seemed to be an element of personal -6t41ltv 4n.tii-remarks -between the two House leaders. ' Later on the Speaker protested that he had not understood Mr. Reed to prefer a request for permission to stand by the clerk's desk, and with this seminpologetlc explanation the incident closed. The roll call now disclosed the lack of a quorum and the House took a recess until 8 o'clock. CRISP DECLINES. He Frefera the Speakership to a Sent lii the Senate. WASHINGTON, March 30. Speaker Crisp this evening notified Governor Xorthen by telegraph of his declination of the appointment of United States Senator for the unexpired term of the late Senator Colquitt. In his telegram Speaker Crisp says a very large majority of the Democratic members of the House have united in a request that he continue as Speaker for the remainder of the session, and although deeply grateful to the Governor, and although sacrificing a cherished ambition, a sense of duty impels him to decline the appointment. TAIUFF HILL CHANGES. Amendments Will Be Made at the InHtnncc of Importer. WASHINGTON, March 20. The tariff subcommittee of the Senate finance committee was in session .for about four hours to-day. The committee considered various changes in the bill suggested as necessary. Since the bill was submitted to the Senate and made public, persons whose interests are affected by the bill have taken exceptions to some of the provisions and have attempted to show that the wording in some instances is not what the committee intended, and have, in some cases, succeeded in getting the ears of the members of the committee to the extent of prevailing upon them to consider the suggestions made. An instance of thi3 kind occurred yesterday, when the Democratic members were visited by a delegation of New York importers, who complained that some of the administrative features of the bill as reported by the committee will work a hardship, and asked that alterations be made. These matters, as have others, have been under consideration by the subcommittee, which is using every endeavor to get into shape any amendments it may want to offer before the bill is taken up in the Senate. The committee decided upon several amendments to-day which it will propose on Monday, one of which is of considerable importance to Importers. It is proposed by this amendment to restore the portion of the administrative part of the present law regarding undervaluations. The lav now gives a margin of 10 per cent, under the valuations of appraisers without requiring a penalty for anv undervaluation. Another amendment to the administrative part of the bill restores the provision of the House bill as to hearings before the board of appraisers, which was struck out by the Senate committee. The committee also agreed that the bill be so amended as to put bananas, pineapples and canned shellfish, together with the cans, on the free list. Protect from Mlllern. ST. LOUIS, March SO. A protest has been prepared here reciting the Increased trade with Spanish and other Islands secured by the West and South under the reciprocity treaties authorized by the McKinley tariff, and in view of this condition appeals to the Senate to eliminate from the tariff bill now pending the clauses repealing unconditionally such treaties and laws relating to them. The protest has been signed by every miller here and a largo" majority of the other houses interested in such trade. IT DKPKXDS ON IHUTAIX. GoshIp About the Need of a IlerinK Sea Motion Vivendi. WASHINGTON. March SO. Whether or not there shall be a modus Vivendi for the regulation of the seal fisheries this season will depend in a large measure upon the scope of the bill introduced in the British Parliament yesterday, and which will be made public to-day. If this bill goe3 far enough in the line carrying out the results of the arbitration to Insure an adequate protection to the seals and the punishment of the offenders against the law, there will be no need of a modus, and all will be well. If it does not, the British government will be requested to unite with us in another agreement or modus until a permanent and satisfactory understanding has been reached and has taken the shape of statutory law in both countries. This

agreement would establish a closed zone north of the forty-second parallel. Authority to place the limit that far south and no further without parliamentary action is already possessed by the British imperial authorities. This limitation would nil all needs for the present season, as the seal herds have already passed north of the forty-second parallel, which runs to the northern boundary of California, It has been stated that the penalities prescribed In the British bill for violations of law are much less severe than those provided in the bill now pending in Congress. If this should be so, then our own bill will be modified to correspond, for there is no disposition to treat Americans more severely than British subjects for like oTTenses. But, whether by law or modus vivendl. the punishments will be applied to offenders, for this government has determined that a3 it lost the main contention in the arbitration of Paris it will maintain the few privileges which that tribunal did accord to it. RAIXMAKXG KXPKUIMEXTS.

Secretary Morton Gives the Clo udIlomhnrtlers Xo Encouragement. WASHINGTON, March SO. Secretary Morton has received a large number of inquiries from all parts of the country as to the results of the department's rainfall experiments and the feasibility of controlling precipitation by means of explosions. The following circular is being sent by the department to .all inquirers: "Replying to your letter as to rainmaking exieiiments, I have to inform you that in no case did they puss the merely exierimental stage and that the prospect of ultimate succsss Is not such as to Justify farmers or other citizens in rainmaking experimentation. In this determination, judgment and opinion I am supported by the scientists and other alleged experts in meteorology connected with the Ui'ited States Weather Bureau. The bombardment of the skies for water, as carried on by this department, did not produce results calculated to inspired tha hope that any method of concussion can be made commercially successful in precipitating' the moisture from the clouds.

In the hearing of the Union Pacific wage schedule case, to-day. Master Mechanic McConnell testified that the rules proposed by the receivers were equitable, and they should have been adopted long ago. "Why were they not adopted long ago?" interrupted Judge Caldwell. "Because we would have had trouble all along the line," replied Mr. McConnell. "Do you mean to say that you come before this court asking it to do something that the managers have never dared to do?" asked Judge Caldwell. "Do you know the occupation of the receivers of this road?" Mr. McConnell said that he did not, except as to Messrs. Clark and Mink. Judge Caldwell then addressed Receiver Doane, and asked what his business was. "I cm a merchant in Chicago," replied Mr. Doane. "You don't know much about railroading, do you?" asked the Judge. Mr. Doane admitted his knowledge was limited, and the Judge continued; "There's Anderson. He is a lawyer in New York. I don't suppose he knows as much about a raUroad as I do. I don't see why these receivers should come Into this court and ask changes in rules that they don't know anything about, when it is conceded that the practical men who have managed the road did not dare to make the cnanges." After the recess General Manager Dickinson, was put on the stand and subjected to a lonar and searchinir examination. The reduction in wages, he said, was made because the earnings of the road bad fallen off greatly during the year. When the montldy-ealary men were reduced In August the company had invited all the employes to confer on the matter. Later the englnemen and trainmen sent replies that they wpuld not agree to a reduction in pay. When the cut was made in the form of an order from the court it was considered the men had sufficient notice. Judge Caldwell pressed Mr. Dickinson on this point, and he admitted that sufficient notice had not been given. It was the Intention to maae a reduction in wage3 anyhow, although the receivership matter intervened and for a time delayed the intended scaling down. Oliver W. Mink, controller, and one of the receivers, followed Mr. Dickinson cn the stand. His testimony was regarding tho financial condition of the road. He sal 1 the Union Pacific had not paid a dividend in ten years. Ther? had been a decrease, he said, of $3,000,00) in the net earnings of 1893 from those of 1892, and save a comparative statement of the earnings for the two years. Judge Caldwell Inquired concerning Gov. Pattison's report, which showed the bond3 of the company were secured on mortgage covering property not worth 2 cents on the dollar. Mr. Mink said Pattison had been u!sled. The court read the Pattison report, which showed that of the $109.0fO.OOO of debt covering the systems 173,000,000 was profit. Mr. Mink said the report of Pattison's conl-ees In the Investigation, which placed the profit at J1:i.vMA'jj, Mas nearer correct. The court said .ie would rather the government lost every , dollar it had invested than that the men IhouM suffer. He would see that employes of the road were properly compensated ard that there wages would not be cut to adr.it of payment of dividends. President Clark followed. He was on the stand but a few minutes, his health being so feeble that he could not stand the strain. His examination threw but little light cn the question. At the conclusion the court peremptorily ordered that Mr. Cark take a vacation of several months, "i'ou shall not commit suicide in the service of the court," sai l Judga Caldwell. When, court adjourned it was the Impression the hearing would be concluded to-morrow. Forbidden to .Strike. CHICAGO, March SO. Employes of the transportation department of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railway have been forbidden to strike. When P. M. Arthur and Frank P. Sargent, chiefs, respectively, of the Brotherhoods of locomotive Engineers and Firemen, submitted the compromise they had been able to effect with M. A. Carpenter, president of the road, they accompanied the submission with tni3 statement: "You've got to accept this or wor.se will be in store for you. We have done what we could and we shall not order a strike." The original order was for a tcn-per-cent. reduction in wages, and, although the men received some concessions, the cut practically remains in force. The men, particularly the engineers, are not at all pleased with the outcome of the trouble. Illut and IIlooriHhetl loMllIe. PITTSBURG.

THE COIML'S STORY

Breckinridge Tells 3Iorc About His Relations with Madeline. He Relates the Incidents of Xcarly Tea Years of Intrigue with the Woman Who Is Suing Him for Damages. SHE DRINKS IN EACH WORD Once Loses Control and Asks Why He Cannot Tell the Truth, But Is Warned by tho Judarc to Bo Quiet or Leave the Court Boom The Defendant's Narrative in DetaiL WASHINGTON, March 30. Chapter II of the story of Colonel Hr:ckinrlJge was toil to-day. It consumed the whole session of the court, and still the narrative remains incomplete. From the second mretlng at the Lexington house kept by Sarah Gress in 1SS4, down to the late spring of 1SJ3, th3 recital wound Its way along a path stormy with pistol?, Illegitimate children, clandestine interviews and secret marriage; -mere of intrigue than one would suppose could, be contained in the life of such a n.i!dlooking elderly man as the one who leaned over the witness box and told it all In a matter of fact way, occasionally dropping into a Jest. Before him sat the woman who 13 willing to emulate Samson by dragging him down, herself with th temple; and she was th only disturbing factor in the scene. She persisted in becoming agitated, and once she made an outcry, demanding to know why the defendant could not tell the truth, but Judge Bradley warned her firmly, but kindly, that fha must exercise control or leave the room. There is a wealth of detail in the defendant's story; ho binds it about him with many extraneous matters and throws an atmosphere of high life over It, weaving In with his meetinpr with Miss Pollard allusions to the many political events in which he has taken part, the schools he has addressed, the confederate reunion he has attended, the banquets to which he has been called as an honored guest, the ladies hd had taken to call on Mrs. Cleveland; even the dinner of the Reform Club In New York at which, as Mr. Butterworth observed, "Speaker Crisp did not speak." There was an audience awaiting- the second appearance of Colonel Breckinridge on the witness stand to-day whose interest la him and what he would have to say was more intense than that of any audienco he had ever faced before. Foremost in it sat the plaintiff and her elderly companion, Mrs. Ellis; back them, in double rows, the lawyers in the case, and also Desha Breckinridge, the son to whom the defendant had referred in affectionate terms while detailing: the members cf his family yesterday. Further beyond were two long row? of newspaper men and. pkelchers, waiting to transfer to- paper-the diffczii-t-" attltudfs of the Congreseman-witness, and then the ranks of Fpeciators, most of them members of the bar. No time was lost in sending the witness to the stand, and then Mr. Lutterworth handed up the work basket which had belonged to his second wife, and which Miss Pollard said he had given her with affectionate words. He recognized it. "My wlt'a was a Miss Desha. She died in July, 18J2," he said. "I last saw the basket in my rooms on II street. I have no recollection when. The statement madt by the plaintiff was that when I left Washington, after the session of Congress. I went with her to the train, and that I gave her the basket then with affectionate words. I did not ride with her in the herdlc to the depot; I did not give her the basket under any circumstances." The voice of Colonel Breckinridge as he made this denial was soft, cool, and measured as carefully as it had been throughout his testimony the day before. Miss Pollard was sitting very straight in her chair, with her eyea tlxed sharply on him, but he directed his replies entirely to his questioner, who sat between Miss Pollard und the Jury. Mr. Butterworth then asked: "When did you first learn that the b iskct was in the possession of the plaintiff?" "1 learnctl." said the Colonel, "a day or two before the trial that a basket was In her iC3sesslon. What basket it wa I did not know, nor did 1 liave any knowledge where the basket was until it was produced at the trial." "Have ycu any knowledge how this basket got into her iosession?" I cannot say from personal knowledge how the basket came Into h( r pces.-don, nor did she rec ive it with any knowledge or consent or connivance on my part." AT THE HOUSU OF SABA II GUBSS. Mr. Butterworth then left the question of the basket and directed his questions to the details of the meeting between tho witness and Miss Pollard, ar.d the circumstances of the visit to the bouse of Sarah Guess. "I wlh you would give an account. Colonel,", said Mr. Butterworth, "of your trip to Lexington on the afternoon of Aug. 2, of which you spoke yesterday, when the plaintiff was in the train." "I found the plaintiff in tbe car when I got Into it," replied the Cobmel. "I found the car was crowded. I saw the plaintiff sitting near the door at which I entered. I spoke to her, and the conversation resulted in an arrangement by which w were to meet that evening in Ixington." In answer to a further question he stated: "An arrangement was made that we should meet at the house of Saiah Guess. The arrangement was carried out by going In the street car." "State what took place between you and the plaintiff then." "The statement in a New York rewspaper was substantially correct. Wa knocked at the door several times. When no one re?iondM a little? talk tool: plir between the plaintiff and myself as to what to do. One suggestion was that she should go to the dixjr of a friend where she expectel to spend the night. Another uggostlon was that she should wait a litU while, It being Saturday nitrht, and It be ing the custom to do a little marketing that night. Th conclusion was that eha should wait and I should go to my home, and if Sarah Gues returned In a reasonable time I would find her there. I had supper with my family that night. Thera was a torchlight procession und tome sjeeches, but I did not make a speech myself. I walked back to Sarah Gues and found the plaintiff there. There was to be an election next Monday, and there was some feeling on both sides." "Hail you made an arrangement to go to the house of Sarah Gues?, as the plaintiff said?" "None whatever." "Wat there any conversation alout her schoolinc and inducements of help hell out by. you? ' "None whatever." "Was there any resistance or protestation on her part against what was dine there?" "None whatever. We merely carried out the arrangement made on the train. 'h preferred to renriln in the houi-e and avoM any risk or questions which it mUht t Inconvenient to answer. 1 returned the next night, Sunday, with ronw uncertalntv whether I would find her there, a she ha I said if she could slip away without risk to the house or her grandfather or uncl she would do so. I found her thre, however. Sne said she had not dared to tako the risk of going away by daylight. I remained until about 10 o'clock that nichL" "Was there any reference to BholcsT "I cannot recall any. Possibly .there waa In those two evenings." "Did you see her Monday morning?" "1 did not." A WOMAN OF HXPKUIBNCn. In answer to other questions the Colonel said that Miss Pollard sremed to be a mature young woman of "experience," and that he did cot know tho ci;ars4 LLa
