It was considered very significant that Mr. Springer's bill contained no mention of silver, and the suggestion was made that perhaps the omission was introduced to permit concessions to the silver men. Mr. Springer openly avowed that the bill was the administration's, , and was drawn at the Treasury Department. It was learned from a source very close to the administration that the omission of any silver provision was intended. The President has no objection, the member who gave this Information said, to the provision for the coinage of sliver bullion in the treasury, and the signlorage, but he did not care to make any recommendations to that effect, with the understanding, that If, such an amendment was proposed the friends of the administration would make no objection to it. SriUXGEIl TO BE SET ASIDE. The Administration Doen Xot Want ; . the Bill llarled tn Committee. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. :"' .WASHINGTON. Jan. 28. President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle have to-night discovered that it is entirely true that the administration's bill is in grave danger of being burled in the committee room of banking and currency. It has therefore been determined to cast loose from Mr. Springer. An effort will accordingly be . made in the House to-morrow to change the reference of the bill from the banking and currency committee to the committee on ways and means. In this unmistakeable way Mr. Springer will be publicly and officially cast off and rebuked by President Cleveland for his pitiable failures in the past. ,The attempt to take th bill from the banking and currency committee and transfer it to the ways and means committee , may precipitate a very lively scene. When Mr. Springer asked the reference of the .bill to his committee', to-day- Mr, Reed asked Chairman Wilson, .sarcastically, if the ' ways and means committee abdicated its rights. (Mr. Wilson replied warmly that ., his committee would never abdicate-any of lis privileges," but that the pending bill was so closely allied to changes affecting the currency system that . the bill should not logically come to his committee. Mr. Wilson may find it embarrassing to be in the House to-morrow when' the effort is made to transfer the "bill to his committee. It is dlff.vult to discover the logic of the proposed change, for It is very questionable if . Mr. Wilson can succeed in making any greater progress to final success with the . bill than could Mr. Springer. In antlclpa-

v . An Associated Press dispatch says: There i -j, is some doubt whether the House commit tee on banking and currency will agree to report the. bond bill to the House to-morrow. : The Democrats of the committee are dividfed in their views on all financial legis lation, and some of - them are irrevocably opposed to bond Issue"". One member who y favors the President's plan says that he V does not believe more than four or five " . Democrats on' the committee will vote for it. tThe balance of power, accordingly, 'i rests with the Republicans in the commit- ' tee, 'as It does in the House. Chairman Springer believes the Republicans will vote

to report the bill and will aid the Democrats in the House to pass it. Representative Hitt, one of the Republican leaders, says that his party is for we bill by a majority of sixteen to one. Four members of the banking and currency committee are absent from the city two Democrats and two Republicans. If the committee should refuse to report the bill its action , would prove but a slight obstacle to consideration. A rule could be reported to discharge the committee from consideration and bring , ,the bill back to the House. VIEWS OF COXGRESS.MEX. Silver Men Onioned to the Presidents Plan llynnm lor It. WASHINGTON. Jan. 28.-Many of the Democratic leaders of the House declined to discuss the President'smessage until they had had time to consider its details. 'Mr. Strauss, of New York, said: "The moment a bill on , the line of the President's recommendation has been passed not rtnly will gold shipments cease, but the tide' of v gold will turn the other way." Mr.. Hatch, of Missouri: "It is substantially the same measure that the House declined to order the previous question on, but mora objectionable to the silver t men . than the, currency bill was." ' Mr. Sperry, of Connecticut, member of Is intended to place the government on a gold basis alone to raise the value of gold and increase the burden of the debt-bearing classes. The ' silver men will fight it." - Mh. Sperry, of Connecticut, member of the banking and currency committee: "Mr. Cle eland has risen to the emergency. It will draw a distinct .line between men who .are for the gold and those who are for the silver standard and force the fight on lines that will make it Impossible to longer compromise." , ,; ; Mr. Bland, the silver leader, said: "A gold bond means a gold standard and th's is the fln-t presidential proposition eyer mado ; that brings Congress to the direct issue between the gold standard and bimetallism. Right now the battle must be fought out." , Mr. Bryan, of Nebraska: "That message and that bill will make the most abject surrender " to the gold conspiracy ever proposed. . I cannot conceive how any friend v. of silver, who believes in bimetallism now or hereafter, can advocate it for a moment. It is the Wall-street idea in parliamentary language." Mr. Bailey, of Texas: "It is the cleanest out proposition to place the country on a gold basis ever made, and I am absolutely opposed to it." Mr. Reed, of Maine, declined to comment on the message.. ' f Representative Grosvenor, of Ohio: "The President appeals to us to be nonpartisan, and yet every financial measure that has come here for the relief of the treasury has boon treated as a party measure by th Democratic caucus, and Republican opinion and advice has been Ignored." Representat.ve Stone, of Pennsylvania: "The message 1 strong and meets the situation squarely. TUtf condition of the country requires ImmJiate relief, administered purely from a patriotic standpoint." Mr. Ourhwalte. of Ohio, member of the rules x committee: "The message Is very strong. b;uh l Its reasons and conclusions, and the situation It presents is truly alarming. Personally, I think It might go further than it does in the direction of conciliating the rllver interests. All the silver bullion In the treasury could be coined in connection with pueh without creating public apprehension." Mr. D.vkory, of Missouri: "I do not believe a bill formulated along the lines of the message cjn be enacted. The formidable oijutjeJe is the unequivocal recommendation in favor of gold bonds." Representative Hartman, of Montana: "The mesaage Is absolute declaration for the gold standard, providing that the bonds b paid in gold." Air. liynum, of kMdlana; "The message

meets my hearty approval, amf I believe the plan is the only way out of the difficulty that surrounds the treasury." SENATORS NOT DISPOSED TO TALK. Many of the Senators did not obtain a very clear Idea of the President's message to-day from its reading from the Clerk's desk, and therefore declined to express opinions as to its purport or its effect upon legislation. . As far as there were expressions they were generally to . the effect that conditions had not been materially altered, and that much would still depend on whether the attitude of the silver men had been changed by the message. On this point the Democratic silver men were generally noncommittal, while the Republican and Ponulist silver men were

quite outspoken in declaring that they were not appeased. "The adoption of the President's plan," said Mr. Stewart, "means twenty-cent wheat and two-cent cotton." Senator Woleott said: "The President speaks of 'the tyranny of preconceived opinion, seeming to overlook tne fact that he makes himself the proper subject of his own criticism." Senator Jones, of Arkansas, a Democratic silver Senator and a member of the finance committee, did not apparently accept the suggestion of gold bonds with favor, but sam he would not undertake to say what effect the message would have either on the finance committee op the Senate. Senator Sherman declined to speak of it, saying that he supposed he wouid have to give the document official consideration at to-morrow s meeting of the finance committee. Senator Ixulge said: "What is the use? Many of the recommendations are good, but it is impossible to secure action." Senator Teller said: "It is easy to see that the President is wedded to the iiAl idea, His bond is a gold bond, and would weld the gold standard upon the country. It is -the banker's bond, one which gives the banker the absolute control of the finances. There is nothing in it for silver. Nor is there any possibility of the adoption of the plan in the Senate." benator Dubois saw that while the President declared himself a friend of silver, he was endeavoring to prevent anything being done for silver by preparing a measure which would prevent silver from ever becoming a part of the money system. senator Vilas expressed the opinion that some action was necessary." Senator Palmer said: "Since the Presi dent has spoken, I see no pretext for Congress to refuse, to act." senator Hill indorsed the message with out apparent reservation, saying: "The President states the situation very ac curately. Permanent as well as temporary relief should be granted at once. I trust that there Is good sense and patriotism enough in the present Congress not to reruse consideration of this subject. The business interests of the country desire and demantf action, and the Democratic party cannot afford to antagonize that sentiment." Senator , . Voorhees. chairman of : the finance committee, declined to discuss the message. BRITISH COMMEXT. How London IVewttpaperM View the President' MeiNage. LONDON; Jan. 29. Commenting editorially on the message sent to Congress yesterday, by President Cleveland, the Standard says: "It Is a state paper of very high quality. To us it is amazing that language of such plainness should be necessary. , To offer to pay national obligations in silver is to cheat the creditor ,of more than half his due. No self-respecting, honorable people could contemplate the perpetration "of such a fraud with anything but horror and disgust. We do not believe that the American. -people ever really meant it. The proposal to utilize the new bonds as the basis of note circulation .would require to be strictly guarded to preserve it from abuse. We hope President Cleveland's appeal will be listened to. We want the loan in some respects as badly as the Americans themselves, because economic brotherhood c&.uses , us to suffer almost equally with themselves. Let Congress take stock that our money market is gorged with capital eager for employment and then look to the resources of, their country still undeveloped. The adoption of Mr. Cleveland's proposals wouid result in a rebound of business on both sides of the Atlantic such as has not occurred in fifteen years. The Dally News believes that President Cleveland's protest will be ignored and that more bonds will be issued on the ruinous conditions, as before. "The export of gold," it says, "is not an unmitigated evil. It is exported, in payment of value received, and, in some, instances, to enable better investments than Is possible in America. In either case the country benefits. The real evil lies in the apathy of Congress and Its refusal to allow the movement of the precious metals to take its natural course in order to give artificial stimulus to the demand for silver." The Chronicle fears that the President's spirited appeal will fall on deaf ears, especially if the belief prevails in Congress that the cat is about to jump on the silver side of the fence. The Times says: "The message is a very weighty, indeed, a rather alarming document. The life of the present Congress is too brief for the hope of the1 adoption of President Cleveland's suggestions even if the majority should favor them. It is improbable that the next Congress will adopt Mr. Cleveland's lead and in any case it may be doubted whether an attemnt begun in March to cope with the drain of gold would not be too late to avert the serious consequences anticipated, hence Mr. Cleveland's plan Is only of speculative interest, but if Congress had the courage to carry it out there would be a chance of putting the finances on a sound basis. The outlook is not pleasant for Americans or those having dealings with them. The Americans are, perhaps, too ready to rely on their power, so conspicuously shown during the civil war, of bearing heavy taxation, -but they cannot escape their present difficulties by merely increasing the rev enue. Even the silver fanatics cannot suppose it possible that gold could be entirely banished without the most serious effects upon the national credit and international ti-r.rie.'' The Westminster Gazette, commenting on United States finances. says: "That European holders should sell the worthless gambling counters they possess in the shape of American railroad shares is , not surprising; but the sale of bonds appears to us to be ill advised. Although the United States is In a tight corner, we do not think there is the slightest danger that the currency will fall to the silver level. The government unquestionably will use its immense credit without restraint to keeo the country's finances on a gold basis." Coxey to Cleveland. CLEVELAND, O,, Jan. 28. Gen. J. S. Coj(ey opened t his lecture tour here tonight by reading a telegram which he had sent to President Cleveland an hour before, reading thus: "We will have no need to worry over the withdrawal of gold if we adopt my plan of currency, based on nonlnterestbearing bonds of States, counties and cities, the currency payable back to the government through 'taxation at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum, without interest, as defined in bill now before the ways and means committee." Stock of Gold Lower than Ever. WASHINGTON. Jan. 28. The total withdrawals of gold to-day amounted to $3,975,000. of which $3,690,000 was from '. the subtreasury at New York and $28o,000 from Boston, leaving the gold reserve at the close of business $51,773,173,. or $116,327 lower than ever before. The amount of the withdrawals last week was $15,2110,327, of which $7,322,000 was exported. - To-day's . statement of the condition of the treasury shows an available cash balance of fl32.606.lti8.

HIS FIRST MESSAGE!

PHESIDEST FELIX FAIRB TO THE FKEMCII CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. He ExnreNse Gratitude for HIh Elec tion, Auks for Harmony and Apo- - tlieoMizei the Republic. RIBOT'S MINISTRY UPHELD ATTEMPT TO INTERPELLATE THE OO VERXMEXT DEFEATED. Declaration of the Cabinet Approved by a Vote of 301 to 71 Lord Churchill' Funeral. PARIS, Jan. 28. In the Senate and in . the Chamber of Deputies to-day the first message of President Faure was read. Then the Chamber of Deputies passed the amnesty bill by an overwhelming majority and the government defeated the first attack made upon it by the opposition. The newspapers this morning were noticeably less hostile in their utterances in regard to the Ribot ministry, but Goblet, it was announced, persisted in his intention to interpellate the government, demanding precise declarations in regard to its general policy, and it was also known that he and his group of followers had seceded from Ribot's support. This action was taken on the ground that Goblet and his friends were not consulted during the ministerial crisis. Consequently the Chamber of Deputies was crowded on the assembling of that body at 2:30 p. rn. and the public and '.diplomatic galleries were packed with interested spectators. Ribot, the new Premier, read the President's message in the Chamber of. Deputies and Tarieux, the Minister of Justice, read it in the Senate. The message, in , part, follows: "Gentlemen By raising me to the first magistracy of the republic the National Assembly chose for these high functions one of the country's most modest servants. I should but . imperfectly express my profound gratitude if I did not return to the working democracy to which I belong, all the honor of this choice. It was to the Democracy that the manifestation of the 17th was addressed. It was., to the obscure work incessantly accomplished by Democracy for the greatness of France that the representatives of the nation offered this solemn act of homasre. "I grasp the full extent of the duties imposed upon me by the National Assembly in intrusting me. with the task of guarding the constitution. You will not find me wanting. You can count on my entire devotion, and, above all, on my vigilance in guaranteeing the application of constitutional law. 'By the absolute calm and complete confidence which attended the transference of the presidential power France has again , shown how much she feels herself mistress of her own destinies under the protec'tion of republican laws." The President, in his message, then proceeds to prasie effusively the republican regime and the democracy, and alludes to the coming French exposition of 1900. The message concludes as follows: "In letters, art and science; in industry. in commerce and husbandry; in everything which displays the fruitful activity of the country; in the serried ranks of universal suffrage, as in the political world, the same ardor should unite all those who have at heart the prestige of the French name. To this union, to this common effort for the power and glory of the French Republic, I invite you in the certainty that I am the interpreter of the whole of our democracy." ' Several passages in the President's message. notably those referring to the democracy and the necessity of union to achieve serious reforms were received with cheers. GOBLET'S INTERPELLATION. The President of the Chamber of Deputies, notified the House that he had received an interpellation from Goblet, formerly Premier, In regard to the general policy of the government, and an immediate debate on the subject was ordered. Goblet asserted that the government was defying custom in not presenting) to the Chamber a declaration of its policy. Explanations were needed, especially upon the strange message of Casimir-Perler in resigning the presidency and on the rambling allusions then made about the late crisis, M. Faura's election and the late attempts of M. Bourgeois to form a Cabinet, etc., all of which pointed to the necessity of a revision of the Constitution. Goblet moved, as the order of the day, that the Chamber repudiate all compromise with the members of the Right and the-policy of resistance to the Democracy. In reply, M. Ribot asserted that it was at variance with all traditions to state the policy of the government immediately after the reading of the President's message. He believed that it was Ills' duty to acceDt the mission of forming a Cabinet, and he had formed a ministry for republican union. The Cabinet would look to it that all Its officers respect established institutions. "We ask the Chamber," he said, "to have done with personal questions in order to reach the reform expected by the country. The reforms we shall strive for are those demanded by the Republicans. We des're a faithful republic. W see the evolution which has taken place in tha country and we do not wish to retard it. That is our programme." M. Bastid. Republican, moved an order of the day. approving of the declaration of the government, which motion was accented bv M. Ribot. M. Goblet, however, claimed precedence for his motion, buf was defeated by a .vote of 336 to 141. and M. Bistid's resolution was adopted by a vote of 361 to 79. The result of the voting caused a sensation. Minister of Justice Tarieux then presented a bill granting full and entire amnesty ta persons condemned for crimes or nlots against th security of the state, offenses against the press laws and the law of public meetings, and for offenses connected with strikes. The introduction of this bill was greeted with the lcuiest cheers from the members of the Left and a portion of the Center members. After a brief debate the different clauses of the amnesty bill were passed amid great cheering. M. Roche, editor of the Intransigeant, Rochefort's paper, shouted: "Vive Rochefort." M. De Clagny moved the revision of the Constitution, and demanded urgency for the motion. This proposition was rejected 332 to 198. M. Boissy D' Anglais, a member of the Republican Uiilon. submitted a resolution remitting the disciplinary penalties imposed on the Socialist Deputies. Jaurez and Rouanet." This was agreed to unanimously. M. Lemlre, a Democratic Deputy, introduced a resolution inviting the government to cancel all disciplinary measures against the clergy. It was adooted by a vote of 2S4 163, and the Chamber adjourned. , The Cabinet was completed to-day. Gen. Zurlinden accepted the portfolio of War, and Admiral Beznard that of Marine. I'll TRC'Il ILL'S FI XERAL. Remaiiin of the Dead Ena-lish Lord Interred at AVoodntock. . LONDON. Jan. 28. The remains of the late Lord Randolph Churchill were conveyed from the Churchill residence, on Grosvcnor Square to Paddington railroad station, this morning, and placed on board a train bound for Woodstock, Oxfordshire, where they were buried this afternoon in Woodstock Church. Large throngs of people witnessed the departure of the remains from Grosvcnor Square , with uncovtred heads in sp'.te of the heivy fall of snow. Upon the coffin were flora 1 wreaths deposited there by the widow and mother of the deceased, his sons, the Prince of Wales, and other members of the nobility. Six carriages followed the hearse to the railroad station. They conn-ined Lady Randolph Churchill, Lady Curzdn, the two sons of the deceased, Wilston Leonard and John Eorry. the Duke of Marlborough, Viscount Curzon, Baron Tweedmouth, Baron De Ramsey and Captain Wilson. The floral tribute of the late Lord Randolph's mother. Duchess of Marlborough, widow of the seventh Duke of Marlborough, was a large cross of lilies.

It was Inscribed: ."To the memory of my beloved son, from his broken-hearted mother." ' - - The Mayor and corporation of Woodstock", with the crape-draped mace borne in front of them, the local lire brigade, the tenantry of the Blenheim estate and the leading Conservatives of the neighborhood, nearly all in mourning attire, met at the railroad station the train bearing Lord Randolph Churchill's -body and a procession was formed to escort the remains to the church. The bishop of Oxford, the Right Rev. Wm. Stubbs, D. D.. and the assistant clergy met the body at the entrance of the church. The coffin was placed on a catafalque in the center aisle. There was a large congregation present. . The bishop recited the first portion of the memorial service and the subdean of the chanels royal, the Rev. Edgar Sheppard, M. A., read the lesson. After the hymns had been sung by the choir and the people the "Dead March" was played on the orsan. After the religious service in Woodstock Church the procession was reformed and proceeded through Blenheim Park to Blandon churchyard, where the second portion of the services was. celebrated. The body was then placed temporarily in a brick-lined grave. The widow stood on the edge of the grave with one of her sons on either side of her and surrounded by the chief mourners. The grief of widow and her sons affected all present. The approaches to the churchyard were thronged with villagers. Memorial services in honor of the late Lord RandolDh Churchill were held to-day in Westminster Abbey, the use of the church having been granted by Lord Rosebery. The audience included Lord Rosebery, Lord c Sa.isbury. S'ir William Harcourt. the Right Hon. John Balfour and many representatives of the British aristocracy and k. throng of the general public. IXSUCCESSFIL ATTACKS.

Japanese Inable to Take the Forts of Wel-Hai-Wei. LONDON, Jan. 29. A dispatch to the Times from Shanghai gives the following Chinese official account of the Japanese movement against Wei-Hal-Wet: "On Jan. 26 the Japanese twice attacked the west side of Wei-Hal-Wel. supported by five large and small guns. The attacks by the fleet were repelled. On Sunday the Japanese threatened the eastward defenses, but the Chinese were prepared and the enemy retired. "The Japanese wished to attack the Che Foo forts, but were prevented by the foreign fleet." The Armenian Commission. CONSTANTINOPLE. Jan. 28. At the preliminary sitting of the commission to inquire Into the Turkish atrocities in Armenia the foreign .delegates urged suspension of Tahsin Pasha and the sVati of Bitlis, pending the course of the inquiry. The British, French and Russian envoys are now urging the Turkish government to take the action required. It transpires that not one of the fifty-c'ght Armenians recently tried at Erzlrghlan was condemned to death and only twenty-one were sentenced to penal servitude for life. Late this evening It was announced that Tahsin Pasha, one of the officials complained of by the foreign delegates with the Armenian commission had, upon the representation of three foreign envoys previously referred to, been deprived of his post. He is provisionally succeeded by Eumer Bey, a member of the commission. Cold Weather in Europe. LONDON, Jan. .28. There was a heavy snowfall during the " nigh t throughout England, and severely cold weather prevails. The snowdrifts are six feet deep in many places. In Lincolnshire there 'liave been cases of persons frozen to death.

Snow fell in Nice to-day. and is now lying thick around the town. Cable Notes. M. Shishkin, who was assistant to the late M. De Giers. Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, has been., appointed to succeed tle latter 'temporarily. Influenza is spreading'' in Lyons in an alarming manner.- The death rate from this disease has increased to over one hundred weekly and hardly a family In the city has escaped some suffering from it. The London Graphic, commenting on the suggestion that Captain Mahan, of the United States Navy, be appointed regius professor of modern history at Cambridge University, says: "We think Captain Mahan would prefer a sea life, but the offer of the professorship would best express our gratitude. His refusal would be our loss." The American Chamber of Commerce, at Paris, which . was. constituted on June 1 last, held its general annual meeting last night. The following officers were elected: President, Stephen H. Tyng, formerly a clergyman, of New York city; secretary, Mr. Ostheimer; treasurer, Mr. Grunwald.

Several Vessels Swamped Near Galveston and a Number of Lives Lost. GALVESTON, Tex., Jan. 28. A storm of great velocity struck this city about 4 o'clock this morning which smashed and damaged a number of frail tenements, but inflicted no serious injury to persons, although a number of narrow escapes are chronicled. The diasters among the shipping were more severe and several small vessels were swamped and a number of persons drowned. At Pepper Grove bay, twenty-five miles north of the city, a rendezvous for oyster boats, the sloop Nellie Mil'er, with CaptI Albert Tanberg and mate aboard, went down. The Captain was caught in the rigging and could not free himself and was drowned. The sloop City Girl was capsized the crew were thrown into the water. They clung to the vessel until the wind abated, when they were rescued by a passing boat. The sloop Laura and Mlna was capsized and blown ashore and one of the crew drowned. The captain was caught in the cabin and was compelled to break through the bulkhead and when recovered was nearly dead. The sloop Magic, which arrived late this evening, reports that the mail sloon Edna Fr'.eberg was found bottom up off Smith's Point and her master is supposed to be drowned. The Frieberg carried the United States mail between this city. Bolivar Point and Smith's Point. The fishing schooner Andrew Price was also capsized off Smith's Point, but the crew escaped.

NO .REPLY YET' MADE

MEXICO'S CABINET IS STILI. CONSIDERING GUATEMALA'S LAST NOTE. Secretary ; repliant Informed that President Cleveland'! Mediation Offer Cannot Be Accented. CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 28. The President and Cabinet were in secret session all day and until a late hour this evening, and decline to divulge anything as to the nature of the conference. The only thing known positively is that nothing has yet been done officially as to formulating Mexico's answer to the last note from Guatemala. It is reported thai Minister of Finance Limantour will leave in the morning for Guadalajara, the capital of the State of Jalisco. What the object of the trip is is not known, unless it be to confer with the State ' government regarding finances, it having been popularly reported here that the different States had pledged financial aid to ''the general government in the event of necessity for war. The government arsenal here is still working day and night. The Fourth Bat talion of Infantry is making preparations to move from this city, its objective point being Acapulco, on the Pacific coast, where it will be held with the other forces now there for transportation by sea for the Guatemalan invasion, if thus ordered. CLEVELAND REBUFFED. Mexico Says Her Dispute with Guatemala Cannot lie Arbitrated. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. The United States has exhausted all proper means of preventing a hostile collision between Mexico and Guatemala and the two countries must settle their dispute without further restraint exercised by the United Staes. Secretary . Gresham's telegram to the Mexican government, representing the hope of the President that the matter might be settled by reference to some friendly nation, has met with a very flattering reply from the Mexican government, but in substance it holds that the difficulty with Guatemala is one that, owing to the attitude of that country, will not admit of arbitration. The inference is that Guatemala must either promptly submit to Mexico's terms of a surrender of her claims to the lands in dispute on the boundary or fight. In this state of the case nothing can be done by our government at present to avert a clash. In case of actual, hostilities it is recognized here that there can be but one outcome. In view of the vast numerical superiority and equipment of the Mexican army, and even if Guatemala should be joined by other Central American countries in opposition to Mexico, it is believed that the end will still be the same. THE FATAL SWITCH. (Concluded from First Page.) Roberts, of High School No. 1, occupied a seat in the chair car. Miss Roberts had been visiting at Bloomington, Ind., and was on her way home. Five minutes before she had at in the day coach, chatting with President and Mrs. Swain, of the State Uuniversity. Miss Roberts left her friends to go to the chair car because it was warmer there, conductor Wise having Informed the passengers of the day coach that if they were not warm enough they could take seats In the other car. Miss Roberts felt chilly, and so left the coach, thinking Dr. and Mrs. Swain would follow. However, they remained, and were uninjured. ' Miss Robert remembers but little of the accident. She was painfully injured about the face and her right arm was dislocated. A painful bruise upon her right cheek, suggests the probability of her having come in violent contact with a car seat. Mss Roberts regained her senses as she was being dragged from the car by editor Cravens, of Bloomington. Mr. Cravens heroically rescued the young woman from her perilous position, and, after seeing that she was made comfortable in a house threequartets of a mile from the wreck, discovered that he himself was injured. The physician who examined him later, found two ribs severely fractured. STORIES OF ESCAPES. Conductor Wise Reached for the Bell Cord and Was Hurled to the Floor. Congressman-elect Faris, of the Eighth district, went down with the train. His injuries were slight, and he was able to leave Coatesville yesterday evening. Conductor Wise was in the dining c.r when the accident happened. This was his first experience in a wreck, but he understood the significance of the jolt and jar which first attracted his attention. With Conductor Frank Gurley, of the Pullman, he had just sat down to dinner. Conductor Wise felt a jar, and knew that the wheels of the dining car were passing over the ties. As he leached for the bell rope to signal the engineer the car went over, and he remembered no more until he regained consciousness in the hotel, wheie he was taken. The Pullman car conductor, as the wheels left the rails, started for the rear of the car to open the air valve. Could he have reached this apparatus the accident could have perhaps been averted to some extent, but he was unable to get farther than the center of the apartment, and a moment later he found himself buried beneath tables, and dishes. Three infant children were aboard the ill iated train, and all escaped without a scratch. One of the little ones was in a seat with its mother, who was badly injured. Three hours after the accident the Child was restored to its mother's arms unhurt. D. W. Minshall, of Terre Haute, president of the Clay County Mining Company, was seated in Mr. McKeen's private car with Sam McKeen, brother of the latter. Riley McKeen was to have been a passenger also, but just before the train left Terre Haute yesterday he decided that he would abandon the trip east which he had intended making. Both Mr. Minshall and Sam McKeen accompanied the car in its' departure from the rails and both were injured. A view of the McKeen car after the wreck would cause the observer to wonder that either of the men survived the accident. Rev. George Schnure, pastor of the English Luthern Church, of Evansvllle, had one of the most uncomfortable experiences of those on the train. He was on his way to Indianapolis to attend a convention of his brethren of the Southern district. At the moment of the accident his thoughts were upon the approaching meeting. He occupied a seat in the chair car and was whirled and knocked about during the rapid descent until he almost forgot his mission and his name. Although his Injuries were not serious, he was painfully injured in the back and a bump on the head reduced him to a state of forgetfulness most remarkable. He could tell nothing of the incident of the wreck and has not the remotest idea of the character of his rescue. Two young men named Walton and Wilson stood on the depot platform and watched the cars disappear over the bmk. They hurried to the rescue, and the first of the victims to apply for assistance was an ' unknown man whose head protruded through a car window. He had been dashed through the glass and his face and neck were bleeding frightfully. F. L. RAPP'S STORY. His Car Turned Completely Over but None In It Warn Seriously Injured. A train came in last night about midnight, having1 on board seven of the slightly injured passengers. Four of them went to the Grand Hotel as the guests of the company an! then went to the Commercial Club for their suppers. They registered as E. C. Magee, New York; J. A. Bailey, Philadelphia; F. L. Rapp, Pittsburg; W. D. Murphy, St. Louis. They were found and interviewed at the Commercial Club by a reporter. Mr. Rapp said: "I was in the chair car when the accident happened. The car turned over feo suddenly that, though I hal risen, I did not realize the fai:t of the sOi.-iv-;".uL. I found myself In a pile of the chairs, under which was a minister of the English Lutheran Church. I pulled him out. and, turning round, found a woman sitting on the floor with a bibe pressed as tightly J.o her as it was possibla to hold the child. I took the little thing in my arms and found that it was not hurt, and so tcld the mother, who was crying bitterly. The child was, however, covered with the blood of some one else. The mother had an Injury In the side, and it was reported that she. had three ribs broken. There was hardly any

El

one in the car that was not hurt more or less. The minister seemed to be the worst injured. A moment after the accident I heard a scream, and. turning round, found that the car had caught fire. This caused the terror that echoed in the cries, which seemed to picture before me the sight of slowly consumed bodies. But, fortunately, the flames were extinguished before they made much progress, and we were saved the horrors that so often attend such accidents. The people opened their doors to us very hospitably, and our wounds were dressed, but we were treated shamefully by the company. Though the accident happened shortly after 2 o'clock, it was seven hours before we were taken from the scene of the wreck. The cars had no fire in them and were disarranged and uncomfortable. but there was nobody that seemed to have any care in the matter. We were not given anything to. eat there, and, except for some whisky which the people of the locality furnished, we would all have felt pretty sore. There was no - excuse for the way the company served us." Rapp eald that the minister he mentioned was en route to this city to attend the Lutheran synod, and that after the accident the only friend he could recall in this cltv was John H. Ohr. Soon after the in jury the doctors gave him an opiate to re lieve nis pain. E. C. Magee, of New York; said that he was in the sleeping car, and in the smoking apartment when the car turned over. He found himself, as he thought, uninjured, and broke his way out of tne car by using an unhinged door to smash the window. He crawled up the bank and saw the extent of the wreck, and the went back Into the car in the expectation of helping some not so fortunate. He then realized that" he was bleeding badlv about the head, and found that he had suffered a cut in the scalp. He assisted in taking Norton, the theatrical manager, from the car. MRS. WALLACE MAY RECOVER. Is Ilelntf Well Cared for at the Home of William BIcClure. Mrs. Zelda Seguin-Wallace, of Cataract, Ind.. who Is well known in this city, was one of the unfortunate passengers. She was on her way to this city to aid in the arrangements for the Society Circus. A rrfeeting of others, interested in the chari table work was to be held last night, and it was not known until a late hour why Mrs. Wallace was delayed. Mrs. Wallace was painfully injured and at midnight it was not known iust how serious her in juries are. She was almost entirely buried' beneath the wreckage ana was, witn great difficulty, rescued from her perilous posi tion. Her face and head was paintuliy bruised and she received a severe cut behind the right ear. However, "her most serious injuries are confined to her back and at 11 o'clock last night she was suffering intense pain. Her son, Edward Seeuin atfd wire, were at ner Decisiae nefore midnight, and did everything possible to relieve her sufferings. Until the arrival of her son Mrs. Wallace was under the cara of the village physicians, but at 11 o'clock Mr. Seguin telephoned this city for Dr. Henry Jameson to hurry to Coatesville by the first train. Shortly before Dr. Jameson's arrival. Dr. Rice, of Terre Haute, chief surgeon of the Vandalia, called to see Mrs. Wallace, but found her sleeping. Dr. Rice interpreted this as a favorable symptom and left orders that the .vtient be not disturbed. She is being cared jr at the home of William McCIure. who lives In Coatesville, a mile from the scene of the disaster. On his arrlvel at Coatesville, last night, Mr. Seguin was much alarmed over his mother's condition, but later his fears were somewhat allayed. It is thought that Mrs. Wallace will suffer no more serious inconvenience than a few weeks confinement to her room. BRINGING TUB 1X.H HED HOME. Special Train of Three Sleepers Dispatched to the Scene. It was 10:20 o'clock last n'ght before a special train of three sleepers, in charge of Conductor J. E. Broom, was dispatched to the scene of the wreck. On board of the train were many of the friends of the injured passengers. They were anxious for the welfare of their friends and impatiently waited the end of the journey. At Clayton, eighteen miles from the city, train No. 16. bound for. this city, was passed by the special. No stop was made and those on board the outgoing train were unable to as certain whether their friends were being brought to the city on No. 16. However, none of the Indianapolis persons injured were aboard. When the special arrived at Coatesville at 11 o'clock the most intense excitement prevailed about the station.. Professor Roberts, father of Miss Margaret Roberts, was one of the first of " the anxious passengers to alight when the train drew up. He knew that his daughter had been injured, but as to whether she was seriously or fatally hurt he had not been Informed. Professor Roberts was compelled to wander about the town forinearly an hour before he could locate his daughter. She was finally found at a private house, being cared for by Dr. and Mrs. Swain. Among the other passengers who went out on the special was Mr. and Mrs. Seguin and the friends of Conductor Wise. The old conductor was found ensconced in the most luxurious chair afforded by the Coatesville hotel. He wore a bandage about his forehead and his right arm was in a splint. He was suffering great pain, but bore it like an old warrior and was obdurate, persistently refusing to be taken to the train in a carriage. He walked to the sleeper upon the arm of one of his friends, and discussed the ; wreck on the way back to the city. Miss Roberts was brought to ' the train in an easy riding conveyance, and was made comfortable in the berth of a sleeper. . Dr. Taloott was too much prostrated to be moved, and It was thought best to allow him to remain in Coatesville last night. H. H. Grayson, the Pullman porter, with an ugly gash in his forehead, and the conductor of the dining car were both brought to the city on the special, the latter leaving at once for the home of his brother in Philadelphia. Grayson lives In Pittsburg. Rev. Mr. Schnure was also brought to this city, the railway officials stating that he would he taken to St. Vincent's Hospital. Miss Lulu Sheets, of this city, one of the most painfully Injured, was taken to 121 North Alabama street. Three stalwart porters carried her from the car and placed her in a carriage. Georga E. Rockwell, district passenger agent of the entire Pennsylvania system, accompanied the special back to this city and saw that the injured were well cared for. THE ENGINEER'S STORY. Signal to Stop Was the First He Knew of an Accident. Engineer Daily was seen last night at the Union Station, and was asked about the wreck: He said: "I was twenty-three minutes late when I pulled out of Coatesville, and had expected to make up a part of V.ie time before reaching Indianapolis. But I had not yet made up any time when the wreck occurred. We were going at a fast clip, however, owing to the grade, which is pretty steep there. When I heard the signal to stop I pulled the throttle and reversed the engine. The track was icy, however, and it was difficult to stop. But I do not know what caused the accident." Mr. Daily betrayed the usual railroa3?r's fear of telling too much, and stopped the interview rather abruptly. He was still under the excitement of the occurrence, but said he was going out on the 7-o'clock train this morning. ON HER WAY TO A FUNERAL. Mrs. Towers Was En Route to the Home of Her Dead Hroller-ln-I.Hv. With her skull frightfully crushed and In-r body mangled and bruised, Mrs. Sarah Towers, of Carthage, Mo., lies dead In the home' of a kind villager a few yards from the awful scene. Mrs. Towers, at midnight last night, was the only one who had failed to survive the wreck for at' least a few hours. She was one of the first to be rescued, but died while being carried up the hill, here death resulting from the shock. With her husband. W. S. Towers, she was en route to Philadelphia to attend the funeral of her brother-in-law. She and ! her husband were seated in the Pullman, i enjoying the beauties of the wln- : ter scenery. The mission upon which i they were bent was a sad one I and they little realized the tragic, event

latest TJ. S. Gov't Report

Of which would terminate their journey. Husband and wife sat opposite each other the Pullman lurched from the rails and plunged down the embankment. Mr. Towers escaped almost .without a scratch, but he was so dazed and overcome over the untimely fate of his wife, that he is unable to tell what happened durinc the fatal few moments. Last night, after the bruised and mangled body of his wife had been dressed and he began, for the first time, to realize the great sorrow that had come to him, his grief was pitiable. At midnight he had mad; no definite arrangements and could not . say when he would leave the scene with the body of his wife. THE WRECKED CARS. Scene of the Accident as Viewed by a. Reporter Last Night. The four cars lying along the side of the track, torn, rent and splintered, as they are, resembled huge piles of rubbish more than anything else. Not an apartmen tof the four coaches remains intact. The private car of Mr. McKeen, : perhaps, suffered ' more real , damage than any of the others. It was turned completely over, and now rests bottom side up. The Pullman sleeper. Ilea on its side, ten feet to the east of tha McKeen car, and the chair and dining cars lie topsy-turvey near by. The scene waa visited last night by thousands of people, many of them going out from Indianapolis. Those who stood -by the log fires started near by and looked over the field were at a loss to understand how the people of Coatesville were able to extricate a single passenger. Nevertheless, the work was speedily accomplished, and it is said that in less than ten minutes after the train went over the bank every passenger was taken from beneath the timbers. The town of Coatesville has been converted Into an improvised hospital, and nearly every residence in the village contains a wreck sufferer. All the citizens turned out and did everything in their power to alleviate the sufferings of tne unfortunates. The wrecking crew with Foreman Jack Campbell In charge, was on the scene within an hour and shortly afterward Superintendent Miller was in Coatesville with hi;staff of officials. Mr. Miller remained in the village last night and labored .incessantly for the relief of - the passengers. Tip Layton, superintendent of the Pullman service, also went out yesterday afternoon and remained throughout the night, looking after the passengers who were on board his car. Mr. Miller said last night that the loss to the rolling stock would probably be $10,000. This does not include the Pullman sleeper. NORTON'S CONDITION. . At Midnight Physicians Wondered unit lie unit jnve. Poor John W. Norton, one of the most popular theatrical nunagers of the country, lay dying at midnight in a little frame church which stands on the Mil about threa hundred yards above the track. Norton was carried to the church a few moments after he was drawn from the wreck. Not a word passed his lips from the moment he was carried to the church and laid upon a bench until midnieht last nlaht. He was fright fully mangled about the head ani u-eart. -His skull was crushed and . a piece of pointed timber nad penetrated cne of hl.i eyes. Last night he ptesented a ghastly sight, lying beneath the pale light of a coal-olt lamp and surrounded by a throng of curl- t ous villagers. Dr. Rice, of Terre Haute, was almost constantly at his side, but at the hour the special left Coatesville, hal no hope of hi3 recovery; on tne contrary, he evinced surprise that the injured man had so long survived. Norton was in the Pullman car, where it seemed the greatest damage was done, wncn round ne was completely buried beneath the timbers of the coach. One or two of his Indianapolis friends went out to Coatesville last night and remained with him through the night. He was on his way to New York on theatrical business. : ' AVent to Attend Mrs. Wallace. Dr. Henry Jameson went over to Coatesville on the 11:20 train to attend. Mrs. Wallace. There were a number at the station o - a i H n tha Arrival nr wnrfl fmm frinHt in the wreck. There was a great deal of interest evident in the crowds that huddled about every one supposed to have anything later than they themselves knew. A railroad employe said the companv could better have afforded to burn up $100,000 than to have had the wreck occur. . The loss, ho thought, would reach that sum to the company. This is the first accident, however, in the history of this company, it is said, in which a pa&senger has been killed. There have been accidents in which the employes mA-t nrirVi fatnlitv hut novpp hpfnr a nnsu senger. A Mother's Love. Mrs. D. L. Anderson, of Greencastle, was riding In the chair car at the time of tho wreck. She had with her a child in arms. When the work of rescuing began the rescuers found the mother and child in different parts of the wreck. The persona taking them from the car sent the niother to one house and the child to another, not knowing that Mrs. Anderson was the mother of the child. She was unconscious at the time she was taken out, and when she regained consciousness the nrt word Fhe spoke was for her chili. She was almost crazed with grief for a time, and her pleadings for some word of her child were heart rending. She was wholly unconscious of her own injuries, and when, after a time, her child was found and fho learned that it had not been hurt she immediately became calm, and ' then for the first time thought of the injuries she had received, . Mrs. Swain's Narrow Escape. Miss Roberts had been riding in the day coach with Mrs. Swain, of Bloomington. Just before the fatal switch was reached Conductor Wise told her and Mrs. Swain that they might go into the chair car it the day coach was too cold for themi thj fire in the day coach being very low at tht time. Miss Roberts accepted the invitation, while Mrs. Swain remained where she whs. Miss RobertB had hardly taken her seat In the chair car till the cars left the track, toppled and rolled down the embankment, the chair car being one of them. The day coach did not leave the track. The Terre Haute Injured. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind..
