Jan. 27.The worst accident of its kind that ever occurred in this section took placo shortly before 2 o'clock this afternoon on the tracks of tho New York, New Haven & Hudson Itailroad near the East Norwalk station. Five men engaged in work upon the road bed, whilo trylnj? to avoid an approachingexpress, stepped directly in front of a local freight running in the same direction as the express.

They oleyed, and, with Powers, stepped to an adjoining track. A local freight, also west bound, came rushing down behind the express a short distance, it Is supposed tho men did not notice the approach of the freight because of tho clouds of smoke and steam in the wake of tho express. The live men were struck simultaneously. as they were grouped together. Fragments of their bodies wero scattered along the tracks as the freight rushed by. Of tho rtve victims all but Shea died Instantly. The head of Foreman Powers was nearly severed from tho body and the bodies of the other victims were horribly mutilated.

BAR OF ILLITERACY

TO IIE PI T IP AT AMERICAN PORTS TO RESTRICT I.MMIftH ATIO.. Honse Passes an Important Confer, ence Report liy n Vote of 1.11 to US, After One Day's Debate. ALIENS MUST READ AND WRITE ROTH MALES AND FEMALES TO TAKE THE EDUCATIONAL: TEST. Opposition to the Rill on the Cronnd that the Husband May Re Admitted and the Wife Kept Out. Special to the Indianapolis JoumaL WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-Thc steamship trust met with a signal defeat to-day In Its attack on the conference committee's amendments to the immigration bill. The House approved the report, which It probably would not have done in the form submitted had it not been for the audaciously bulldozing tactics employed by the steamship combine to stampede timid members. The bill as It has passed the Houso Is legitimately objectionable In several particulars, notably the educational provision which will seperate parents from children and brothers from sisters, and If the members had been left alone- that clause would have been changed, but when they were threatened with the loss of scats and the wrath of foreign clans the limit of patience was passed and many of them voted for the conference bill as a rebuke to the notoriously selfish Interests opposed to it. The steamship combine maintains an expensive lobby in Washington, subsidizing newspapers, putting Influential congressmen on its salary list as attorneys and resorting to many corrupt influences to impede or rromoto legislation. It has never been quite so open, however, as this time. The steamship lines in tho combine will lose millions a year In revenue If the pending bill gets on tho statute books and goes into force. DERATE ON THE REPORT. . Remarks of Dan ford, Rurtholdt, Stone and Other Members. WASHINGTON, Jan." .27. Tho House today, after a debate of four hours, adopted the conference report on the immigration bill by a vote of 131 to 118. Tp3 principle criticism of the measure agreed on by the conferees in debate to-day was based on the extension of tho educational test to female as well as male emigrants on 'the ground that it might divide families, and to the limitation of the ability of the Immigrant to read and write tho "English language or the language of their native country or residence." Speeches were made by Messrs. Huck (Dem., La.), Dollivcr (Rep., Ia.). Bartholdt (Itep., Mo.). Parker (Rep., N. J.), Walker (Rep., Mass.), Cannon (Rep., HI.) Grosvenor (Itcp., Ohio) and Poatncr .(Dem., Ea.) in. opposition nml uTyjTilj Danford (Hep.,. Ohio), Hepburn (Hep., Ja.), W. A. Stone (Rep., Pa.). Johnson (Rep. Ind.), Corliss (Rep., Mich.), Morso (Rep. Mass.). Wilson (Dem., S. C.) and Taylor (Rep.. Ohio) in its support. The provisions of the bill have been recently published. Mr. Danford made the opening argument in support of the report. As it passed the House, he said, the bill applied the educational test only to males. This test was now extended to females. It was this extension of the educational test, he tald, which caused tho principal antagonism to the adoption of the conference report on the ground that It would separate families. Husbands might tm admissible and wives excluded or vice versa. If the bill became n law, he said, Its provisions would be well understood abroad by prospective Immigrants, and very few families would apply at our shores for admission who were not eligible. If any did fhe steamship companies were obliged to return them. He drew a graphic picture of the Overcrowding in tho great centers of population, the great numbers out of work and the constant necessity of relieving them from 'want and starvation. He drew attention to the Corliss amendment, which was designed to prevent the "birds of passage" from crossing the Canadian border each year in the spring and returning again in the fall. They took advantage of the high wages paid in the United States. -They paid no taxes and contributed nothing to the common weal. He thought, that this bill was less drastic than the one which passed the hist House. In conclusion he said this bill did not go as far as he would like it to go. because ho believed that the present unemployed In this country to-day constituted the greatest danger to the Republic. OHJECTIOXS TO THE RILL. Mr. Bartholdt. who had charge of tho opposition to the conference report, lollowtd in favor of the rejection of the report and instructions to the conferees to insist on certain modifications of the bill. Ah one of the conferees, he said, he had re fused to sign the report, because It would separate husband and wife, parent and child, and further because it not only excluded Illiterates, but all those who could not read and write the language of their "native or resident land." Knowledge and reason, and not prejudice and passion, he trusted, would prevail in the consideration of this subject. The bill as agreed on ly the conferees, he said, would bar out the Germans of the. Raltie provincts of Russia and many of the people of southern Europe and of South America, who could not read or write the language of their native or resident lnd. The Cierman Quakers, who spoke no Russian, and yet Were under Russian domination, the French who lived in the German province of Alsace-Lorraine and other conquered subjects who had not learned the language of the conquerer would be barred also. Mr. IJoutel'e interrupted to express the opinion that Mr. Hartholdt gave a too narrow definition to the words of tho bill. In reply to a question. Mr. Hartholdt said he thought the bill would exclude one-third of our present immigration. Mr. W. A. Stone said the Houso was confronted with the alternative of accepting the agreement of the conferees or of having no Immigration bill passed at this session. He sent to the clerk's desk and had read some telegrams addressed lo Senator Lodge, copies of which appeared In an Interview with Senator Lodge printed to-day. He quoted some statistics to show that last year but 14i Immigrants of the class of which we are proud would have been excluded by this bill. It was the importation of thoe from Italy, Hungary and other countries of southern Europe, a largo percentage of whom would he excluded by this bill, which was causing tho glut in the common labor market. Two hundred and twenty thousand of the 2ii).i) immigrants who came In last year, he said, remained in the three States of Masaschusotts. New York and Pennsylvania. We had been legislating for years in the Interest t,f higher wages for labor: now we should do something to prevent foreign patir Ialor from coming here to enjoy conditions we created for tin beneJlt of our own people. Mr. Ruck opposed the conference report. H helioved that whatever tended to restrain or restrict human effort contained within it the germ.' of Injustice and wrong. It was un-American. HENRY t JOHNSON'S VIEWS. Mr. Johnson, of Indiana, advocated the adoption of the report, but criticised the measure because It did not go far enough. Mr. Corliss, the author of the amendment placed in tho bill by the conferees to pre

vent aliens from coming Into the United States temporarily for the purpose of employment and returning again to their families, supported the report. Mr. Cannon favored pending the bill-back to conference to makd wore plain the reading and writing qualilications. Mr. Grosvenor opposed certain features of the report and said he did not subscribe to the belief that if the House rejected the report It could not perfect and pass at this session such a bill as It desired. He said he would refuse to vote for a bill which would permit a man to abandon his wife and yet bring in his pauier and illiterate relatives. Mr. JDolHver said he had voted for the House bill, he would have supported the bill as it iassed the Senate, but he felt absolved from voting for the conference report. He would vote for no bill which admitted the husband and excluded the wife, because he believed it vastly more important that a man should enjoy the society of his wifo than that of his grandfather. (Laughter.) He believed we were ajt to exaggerate tho danger of unrestricted immigration. Mr. Taylor said the principle of protection was behind this bill; It was the principle of self-preservation. After some further deMte by Mr. Morse in favor of, and Mr. Roatner, in opposition to the bill, Mr. Hepburn dosed the debate In supiort of the report. When he declared that hundreds of thousands of American laborers were to-day walking the streets of the great cities because they had been crowded out by the incoming stream of aliens, the public galleries of the House fairly shook with acclaim. At 4:15 p. m., according to tho arrangement, the vote was taken. Much Interest was manifested in the vote, the members listening intently to the responses. The report was adopted 131 to lis. Then, at 4:45 p. m.. the House adjourned. Aeted on Their Own Henponftlhlllty. CHICAGO, Jan. 27. H. Clausennlus & Co., of this city, have Issued a statement In reply to the charge that they, as agents of tho North German Lloyd, have been working n gainst the passage of the Immigration bill, now pending in Washington. They say that in sending the circulars to their Western agents "we In no way, shape or manner, acted vnder the Instructions or authority of the North German Lloyd." Tho action taken "was simply the expression of our personal and individual opinion."

WRECK OF A TROOP SHIP DETAILS OP LOSS OP THE AVAR REN HASTINGS IN INDIAN OCEAN. Perfect Discipline Maintained, and All of 1,2.12 People on Donrd Saved, Except Two Servnnts. LONDON, Jan. 27. A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from Port Luis, Island of Mauritius, furnishes particulars of the loss of tho Rritlsh troop ship Warren Hastings, which was wrecked off tho Island of Reunion on Thursday, Jan. 14. The ship. It appears, ran ashore at 2:20 a. m. It was pitch dark and torrents of rain were falling. She had on board soldiers and crew to tho number of 1,222 men, in addition to a number of women and children, the families of tho married men of the military force. When tho ship struck the troops were ordered to retlro from tho upper deck, to which they had flocked on tho first alarm, and to fall In below. This they did promptly, the most perfect discipline prevailing, although the men wero fully conscious of the danger which they were In. They were quietly mustered on the 'tween decks without confusion or excitement. Owing to the fact that the surf boats could not be used in landing the troops, two officers of tho Warren Hastings were lowered from the ship's bow to the rock nnd when W MIS' lWllYfr'tnai il Ending could be. ef -fected In this way the disembarkation of the soldiers was commenced at 4 o'clock. Commander Holland hoping it was safe to retain the women, children and tho sick on board until daylight. Rut the Kteumship was soon found to be heeling over so rapidly that every one was ordered to the upper deck, tho danger of capsizing being imminent. Thereupon Commander Holland ordered the landing of the troops to be stopped in order that the women, children and sick persons should be landed Immediately. This order was obeyed with admirable discipline. Hy 5 o'clock the decks had heeled over to an angle of T0 degrees to starboard and the boats were all swept away. The good swimmers wero then permitted to swim jushore. carrying rojes. Ry this means many others were landed and the disembarkation of all on board was completed by 5:30 a. m. with the los.s of only two native servants. Many acts of gallantry were recorded. The French otllcials and inhabitants of the Island of lieunion gave the shipwrecked people every assistance possible. Part of the Crew Ml as Inge LIVERPOOL. Jan. 27. The German bark Antares.

SO MORE AGITATION

REPl'RLICAN MANAGERS DECIDE ON A CHANGE Or POLICY. They Will Refrain from Reviving Dead Issue nnd Prlckinp; tlxe Krvcn Popocrntlc Corpse. VIEWS OF CHAIRMAN HANNA IIE THE.KS CONTINUED AGITATION AV1LL 31 EN ACE IUS1NESS, And Favor Stopping All Active Political Work for the Preaent-Gage Hooked for Trennnrynhlp. CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 27. - It can be stated on authority which cannot be doubted that the Republican leaders have decided on a radical change of policy In connection with the proposed continuation of political agitation throughout the coming four years, nnd that In its stead the verdict of the American people In the recent presidential election and the merits of the Incoming administration will stand alone. Immediately following the election many leading Republicans throughout the country urged on National Chairman Hanna and the members of his committee the Importance and absolute necessity for continuing the political agitation pursued during tho campaign just closed. At first the members of the committee were fully in accord with this idea, but gradually, and after mature deliberation, the majority of the national committee. Including tho chairman, experienced a change of heart. It Is stated that this change of front has only been reached after much discussion between Chairman Hanna and the members of the national committee. Within the past two or three weeks there have been many members of the committee here in conference with Chairman Hanna, and It Is known that this question has been earnestly discussed on such occasions. Chairman Hanna, although ono of the very flrst to announce himself as in favor of continuing the political agitation during the coming four years, has clearly demonstrated his change of views by frankly saying to a representative of the Associated Press "I am In favor of stopping all political agitation and permitting the verdict of the people of tho country to stand on its merits. It is believed that a potent factor entering into the discussion and final decision on this question is the belief, which is apparently dally growing on all sides, that active political work on such :i scale as was mnpiied out by the Republican leaders some time ago is now, ana will continue to be, a menace to tho return of business prosperity." It is considered safe to say that" the opinion of Mr. Hanna In this connection reflects the views of the President-elect and the party leaders. That the decision in this matter has but very recently been reached there can be no doubt, for within not to exceed two or thrive weeks tho national Republican headquarters at Washington have been established, with General William Osborne, a cousin of Major Me Kinley, in charge. These headquarters . were established in accordance with the original Ideas of Chairman Hanna and the Republican leaders of conducting a literury and press bureau for the dissemination of vast quantities of political literature during the next four years. It i-s now stated on excellent authority that the original plans lor the work assigned to the Washington headquarters will bo largely curtailed and that, while the ortiee may possibly be maintained for a short time, there is a strong possibility that within ii few months, and not to exceed a year, the headquarters at the CiipItal will bo entirely abandoned. In this connection It may bo stated that General Osborne was at Canton to-day, and held a conference with the President-elect and Chairman Hanna, at which questions along this line wero doubtless fully canvassed. AT THE CANTON MECCA. Tnlk with Mark Hanna Col. John Hay Confers with MeKlnley. CANTON, Jim. 27.-During Chairman Hanna's visit In Canton but few callers were announced, so th.it he and the President-elect had an opportunity to consult together without interruption. Mr, Hanna gave audience to a number of newspaper men. "The Ohio situation?" said Mr. Hanna, when a question regarding the senatorial talk was asked him. "Well. I'm not worrying about that. A great deal of the talk on that subject comes from you gentlemen here In Canton. My part In it Is ais chairman of the national committee, and a great many people call to see me. All my efforts, however, are directed and actuate! by tho desire to gain for the. coming administration the support it ought to have. I have been suffering with the grip :md nervousness, but at present feel in hetter health." "Some people and papers are saying that pledges said to have been made by Major McKinley's friends at the St. Louis convention have not been kept." "As to that." said Mr. Hanna. "no pledges were asked or given; no conferences were held, becjiuse there never was any need for them. The Ohio delegation went to the St. Louis convention unanimous and enthusiastic for Major McKinJey: there was not u truce of factional feeling. There was no agreement .is to who should be President, senator or Governor, at least. I was not Jiware of any such agreement, and a grat deal of this talk Is without foundation." Coi. Wm. M. Osborne, of Boston, :ind Col. John Hay. who was President Lincoln's private secretary, arrived here this morning. They were met by Messrs. Cooper and Floyd and driven to the McKinley home. Here they entered Into immediate consultation with the Presldef i-e!ect and Mr. Hanna. Mr. Hay's name has been frequently associated with the appointment to some important foreign ministry, and it Is believed his visit to this city in company with Cleneral Ostornf is to talk over this matter with Mr. McKinley and Mr. Hanna. They had lunch together. md General Hay left at 2:0"i for the "East. He was seen at the depot prior to his departure, and said he was not In Canton on any personal matters nor to talk sibont Cabinet att'airs. hut to see Major McKinley "for some one else." He declined to reveal who that some one else is. When it was mentioned that he was spoken of as iossihle minister to England. Mr. Hay smiled ami suid that he had little idea that Major McKinley was thinking of him in that connection. General Osborne will remain In Canton several days as the guest of Major McKinley. GAGE FOR THE TREASl R V. McKinley Reported to Have Deter mined on the Appointment. peL-ial to th Indianapolis Journals WASHINGTON. Jan. 27. A leading Western editor from the prairie region, just In from Canton, brings Ut Washington a strongly defined belief that Major McKinley has decided to appoint Lyman J. Gage secretary of the treasury. "I was with Major McKinley nearly an hour yesterday," says the editor, "and while he did not name Gage in specific terms, he described the man he had picked out so olntedly that there could be no mistaking who he meant.

Bryan visited the Texas Legislature this morning and all business in the two houses was suspended while he made a speech characteristic of his last campaign. He took occasion to say that he noted with pride that Texas was in the lead In the matter of laws to regulate the corporations that were doing the country harm. He stated that In his State and others in the past twelve months corporations had stepped out of their chartered rights and into politics, and that he favored the enactment of a law prohibiting any corporation from contributing to a campaign fund. He said that while reformers were always called enemies of the government, time would show that they were right, and he desired to encourage them in their worthy light against corporations that were doing the country so much damage.

MR.SIIERMAN'SPOLICY

WHEN HE SICCEEIIS MR. OlACY FORESHADOWED IX A SPEECH. Intimation n. Treaty "Will lie Made with .Nicaragua Wherehy Thl Government Will Ilulld the Canal. HE HAS HO FEAR OF ENGLAND AM) DECLARES MORGAVS COVSPIR. ACV CHARGES TO IIE A RIGAROO. Spirited Debate In the Senate Wt Point Cndetw Nut (o Attend (he McKinley Inauguration WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-.V In th debate on the Nicaragua canal bill waa reached in the Senate late to-day. It brouKht out an energetic statement from Senator Sherman, In which he foreshadowexl a new treaty by which the United States could build tho canal without tho Intermediation of a private concession. Tho senator declared that this Kovernmental execution of the project was the only feasible one, and that all private efforts In that direction had proved failure. Answering Mr. Morgan's recent charge, that England inspired opposition to American control of the canal, Mr. Sherman asserted that this was a "bugaboo" wholly without foundation. He added a handsome tribute to England and her Institutions. Mr. Vilas followed with a motion to recommit the canal bill to the committee on forHgn rejations, a step which Mr. Morgan characterlze-d as an Insult. The motion was changed so at to make the recommittal to the Fjeclal committee on which Mr. Morgan Is chairman. The Senate adjourned before a vote was taken, and the Vilas motion to recommit Is pending. The military academy appropriation bill, carrying approximately JiTU.OX), was passed, after the defeat of the amendment for participation of the West Point Cadets In the Inauguration ceremony. The amendment led to a sharp controversy. Mr. Procter argued that the law should be made permanent for the attendance of the cadets at inaugurals. Mr. .Gray opposed the plan, saying the visit would not be In line with military education. "I understand," Interrupted Mr. Allen, the Nebraska Populist, "that the senator from Delaware (Gray) gave his great influenco to electing a Republican President, and why fhould he object now to bringing these young pentlemen to see the consummation of that event?" Continuing. Mr. Allen said the proposed visit of cadets waa designed timply as "tinsel and display." It was another idep in the vulgar display of wealth and ostentation. We; were gradually bowing down to a crown." ' A CROWN OP THORNS. "A crown of thorns?" interjected. Mr. Chandler, derisively. . "Yes, we have the crown of thorns already." answered Mr. Allen. , The Nebraska senator went on to say that ho would be glad to see ostentatious inaugurals give way to the simplicity of Jefferson's time. "Why not have tho President ride to tho White House on a street car?" asked Mr. Gray, sarcastically. "Yes, on a street car or on horseback, proceeded Mr. Allen. Mr. Stewart, another Populist, came In at this point with an Inquiry as to whether Mr. Allen did not like th triumphal entries of the Roman emperors and the recent gorgeous coronation of the Czar. "Do you refer to that ce remony In which our American embassador wore knee trousers?" asked Mr. Allen. He went on to say that our embassador wore knickerbockers. "Merely a bicycle kuU." Interjected Mr. Gray, sotto voce, amid laughter. Mr. Allen turned his attention to Mr. Gray's' political alfillation.--, :-ay1ng lm and others on the Democratic side should be classed us Republicans. Mr. Gray, re-ponding, said: Mr. Allen had exhibited merely the lavages wrought on a mind by Populist notions. Tin remarks of Mr. Allen wer about as pertinent to the question, declared Mr. Gray, ax a proposition to bring Coxey's army to tho Inauguration. Perhaps the Nebraska senator would vote to bring Coxey's army to Washington on March 4. Mr. Alln whs about to reply, but the chair recognii-l Mr. 'llawley, who dUcussed the desirability of bringing the cadets to Washington. Mr. Stewart said that at a time when, thousands wero starving, money should not bo spent In bringing cadets to swell the crowd of oflicese k rs pr s nt at the Inaugurations. Republics mua- these displays only when they were on the way to despotism and royalty. After further debate a vote was taken on the amendment, providing for the visit of the cadets, and it was defeated yeas Ji. nays 2S. The military academy bill was then passed. THE CANAL EI LI.. The Nicaragua canal bill was then taken up. Mr. Morgan continued the discussion. He criticised Mini-ter Rodriguez ami the course of Nicaragua, saying that country had made enough money cut of canal concessions and should not be allowed to continue the project on the "bargain counter." Mr. Morgun asked consent for a final vote at 3 p. m. I'ridty. Mr. Turple object eel. Thereupon Mr. Morgan gave notice that toi morrow he would asked the Senate to rej main In scsim until the MU was passed. Mr. Hale said be wa friendly to this canal enterprise but he did not l IUve its Interests were advanced by an arraignment of NKaraijua. Mr. Halo declar-d that Heeutary Olney had done n.i less than his duty in sending the Rodriguez letter to the Senate, and Mr. Sherman h.ol done no ejs than his duty in making public the letter. Mr. Morgan, rcphing. said he had Income satisfied that the HodrlguV Utter wu Intended to prevent th United states from building the canal. Mr. Morgan add-d Ilia suggestive state-ment that there were certain important acts touring on the situation which he was not at liberty to disclose. Mr. Sherman tald be b-li ved the only means of building the Nicaragua canal was throuph the' over of the Unit! States. Th execution of the gr-at project was made most promising by the treaty m.ole home years ago and subsequently withdrawn. Why it was withdrawn the Senntor did not know, as it was most ben.M ial to the United Si?tes. Following this a private company had scurel a concession but had failed to execute the proj et. In my judgment m private e-oinp.-my will never be all to build that canal." procet-ded Mr. Sherman, "a: it is a project too vat t be exe -ii ted except by the United States." Mr. Sherman said Minister Rodriguez e.une here with full authority, lb was a man of sagacity and alilllty. Ills letter was entirely friendly in tone anil there was nothing In it to warrant the criticisms of the senator from Alabama. Mr. Sherman declared that Mr. Morgan's fears and charges against Enj-Iuh conspiracy was a "bucalxjo." The senator ad .led, speaking with de p earnestness: "My bonorahle friend drew England in and whenever there is a bugaboo to be presented England Is brought before us. The Senate of the United Stat s does not fc.tr England or any other power and the jvople of the United States do not fear England. We have had two war with England, long sine past, and 1 hope that war with Enlrr.d will never occur again. The two nations oimlit never to tight each other. They ought alwavH to be friendly. Great Urltaln Is more and more following the example of the American people ef having a government for the pcopie. of the people, by the people, und 1 believe the time is not far
