Harvey, lecturer on anatomy at the Chicago Un versity of Chicago, are the most serious! ijured, although Russell Quinn, who: hands are badly scalded, is suffering a great desl of pain. Dr. Harvey, who was one of the last persons dug out of the telescoped coach, is resting quietly to-day @nd is much better than last night. He iz guffering from exposure in addition to Lie' wounds. The condition of John Bird shows little change from yesterday. He is suffering considerably. Thomas Coote and his wife are both reported much bet- | ter to-night. Mrs. Coote is still suffer- ing from shock and complains of pain in | her back. John Barnes of Woodstock, | Ont., whose leg was broken and whose | back was injured, ik, the house surgeon | says, probably the most seriously in- | Jured of all the wreck vietims.

PONCE, Porto Rico, Dec. 28.—Admiral Dewey arrived here yesterday evening overland from San Juan and received an ovation. He was warmly greeted by a committee of native officials and citizens &nd was escorted by them from Juana Disz to Ponce. The city was decorated 4n honor of the admiral’s arrival, which was followed by a procession, with bands of musie, through the streets. Later the wdmiral boarded the United States ship Mayfiower, which was waiting for him, ‘knd salled for Culebra. i | & Frenc | Moniak, | eident at Venice in connection with the PARIS OFFIGIALS FEAR MOB RIOTS Plan for Secret Entry of Humberts to - the City. Arrangement Miscarries Be- cause of Accident to the Train. A N PARIS, Dec. 28.—The train bringing to Paris the members of the Humbert fam- ly, who were arrested in Madrid, was due to arrive at 4:52 o'clock to-morrow morning, but owing to an accident to a brake it was two hours late at the Span- ish frontier, thereby missing connections | with the Paris express at Bordcaux. | In their anxiety to avold the assenibling | of crowds and demonstrations on the ar- | ival of the Humberts, the alltllorilies! here refuse to say at what station the | pris s will Jeave the train. These pre- cautions probably will be defeated by the | delay in arriving, as it now seems prob- | train will reach Parls in | broad daylight, instead of in the darkness | of ‘early morning, as was intended. 1t is| possible that the prisoners will be taken | from the train at some station outside the | city. thence conveyed secretly to prl«on.i | | able that the Cells at the Concergerie have been pre- pared for their reception. At Hendaiy, on the Spanish frontier, | the car containing the prisoners was de- | tached from the Madrid train outside the | station on the Spanish side of the fron- | tier and the Humberts were hurried into car held in readinéss and hand- ed over to the French officials. After this | Lad been done the Spanish police retired. | The charge of cars was accomplished so | rapidly that the ting crowd bareiy | aught a glimpse of the party, but it/ greeted the prisoners with fronical jeers | Js ' HARRIMAN AND THE LABOR LEADERS WILL DECIDE STRIKE ISSUE TO-DAY Special Dispatch to The Call. EW YORK, Dec. 28.—A meeting will be held in E. H. Harriman’s office in New York to-morrow which will decide whether organized union labor or the Union Pacific, the Southern Pacific and the Oregon Short Line railways and the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company is the stronger. On one side, representing the railroads, will be E. H. Harriman, H. G. Burt, president of the Union Pacific, and the directors of the latter-road; on the other—John McNeil, presi- dent of the Boilermakers’ Union, and two associates; James O’Connell, president of the Ma- chinists’ Union, and two representatives of the Blacksmiths’ Union. The conference was called by Harriman, who requested the labor representatives to meet him and his associates and discuss the strike of shopmen of the Uniofi Pacific Railroad. This request was not issued until the grand unions had given instructions to the union men on the entire Southern Pacific system to go on a sympathetic strike to help the Union Pacific strikers. The alternative before Harriman and the railroads is apparently to scttle the strike im- mediately or see it extend ta all other Harriman-controlled roads. The strikers enter the con- ference with more funds in the treasury than when the strike was called and with all their men enthusiastic and supported in their position by union labor throughout the entire country. The | railroads enter with the motive power of the Union Pacific road in miserable condition and its | | shops half filled with a poor class of workmen. The strikers believe that Harriman will attempt to bluff the men into accepting less than they originally demanded, while the men themselves will make still further demands as to wages. Since the original demands were made other roads in the West have increased the pay of their men and the Union Pacific men will to-morrow demand a heavy increase in wages. They also will demand the discharge of every non-union man in all the shops and protection for their leaders. A refusal of Harriman and Burt to accede to these demands will -cause an immediate strike on all roads controlled b, the Harriman interests. 29, 1902 HERBERT AGCEPTS FOR MORE MONEY Leaves Rio Grande for| {Increased Pay and Other Things. * Denies His Former and Pres- ent Employing Roads || 'Are Antagonistic. { DENVER, Dac. 28.—James M.

Mo., to-day. At the Denver Club to-night Mr. Herbert discussed the condi- tions which resulted in his leaving the Rio Grande and dictated the following | statement: “Two weeks ago, unsolicited, the office of vice president and general manager of the Colorado and Southern and vies | president of the Fort Worth and Denver City, carrying with it some attractive | features, was tendered me, I asked time to consider, which was graited, following which 1 accepted. “There has been no friction as between | myself and higher Denver and Rio Granda officials. Salary was the paramount issue with me. There is absolutely no friction as between the Colorado and Southern and the Denver and Rio Grande Railvoad ln’erests. “I have placed my resignation as direct-| or of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com- pany in the hands of Mr. McClement, who is Mr. Gould's representative in that company, for such action as he deems ad- visable. { Under the circumstances any other action would be inconsistent. = o3 and hootings.

NO EXTRA SESSION OF CUBAN SENATE Reciprocity Treaty Must Wait Action of the Regular Session of H Congress. WASHINGTON, Dec. 28 — Minister Squiers has cabled the State Department that no special session of the Cuban Sen- ate will be called prior to the reassem- bling of the island Congress after the holidays. A suggestion had been made that such a session of the Senate might Dbe held during the holidays for the pur- pose of passing on the reciprocity treaty between the United States and Cuba, but Mr. Herbert said further that ‘he report that Edwin Hawley had in an, manner influenced his appointment with the Haw- ley roads was unfounded. “It has been said,” continued Mr. Her- bert, “that such was the case, and that the outcome of the recent Colorado Fuel and Iron fight prompted this. There is absolutely not a particle of foundation for any such report. I am Mr. Trumbuil's appointee. 1 never had any conference with Mr. Hawley and will have nothing to do with him when I accept my new position. I shall report to Mr. Trumbull.” Mr. Herbert said that he had not de- cided upon any changes which will be made as a result of his changing posi- tions. — “I may not decide upon anything for through the towns of Carrier, Karoma, Helena and Elkton. It is also stated that an agreement has been effected whereby the Rock Island and the Frisco will use the same tracks from Durwood, I. T., to Hewitt, I. T., on the extension of the.lat- ter from Ardmore to Lawton and of the former from Ardmore to Waurika. The Frisco is graded as far as Hewitt. Eighty Miners Caught by Fire. ST.

HALF A CENTURY OF LABOR ENDED Passionists’ Golden Jub- ilee in This Land Celebrated. \Many Notables Attend and Imposing Ceremoniés Mark Event. PITTSBURG, Dec. 28.—-The goiden Jjubilee of the Passionist Fathers in the United States was celebrated to-day in the monasiery of St. Paul of the Cross. The first-session was opened this morn- ing at 10:30, with a solemn blessing of a marble Calvary group over the altar and a solemn pontifical mass. The bless- ing of the Calvary group was conducted with mueh religious pomp by Cardinal Gibbons. 5 In the sanctuary were Right Rev. Bishop Phelan, ranking next to the Car dinal; Most Rev. Archbishop Ryan Philadelphia, Most Rev. Archbishop E der, Right Rev. John W. Shannahan, Right Rev. P. J. Donahue, Right Rev. Leo Haid, O. §. B.,, and a number of prelates, dignitaries and priests of this Following the bless- ing of the crucifixion came solemn poi- tifical mass, with Maat Rev. P. J. Ryan as celebrant. The afternoon service commenced at 2:30 o’clock with solemn pontifical ves- pers and benediction. Archbishop P. J. Donahue of Wheeling acted as celeb: of vespers, with the Passtonists ¥ as chanters. Mass will be offered to morrow morning at 10:30 for the deceased, Archbishop Burke of Albany being the celebrant. Cardinal Gibbons will be pres- ent at the mass, but will leave at1 o'clock in a special car over the Baltimore a Ohio Railroad for Wheeling, W where he will be given a receptl | Bishop P. J. Donahue. The great crowds attending the jubilee celebration exceeded the capacity of tha streetcars to and from the monhstery but only one accident of consequence re- suited. Nine passengers in a runaway southern traction car were badiv hurt, but none seriously. Two men, J. M. Eag an of the Times and J. H. Harrls of the Post, suffered the severest injuries. Eagan had two ribs broken and was cut and bruised all over the body. Harris’ head, hands and legy were cut and torn. The accident occurred immediately aftac the afterncor session. The car wad crowded and when the long hill was reached the brakes were ineffective be- cause the raills had been ¢overed with snow by boys who were coasting. The car began to slide and gained a wonderful speed when one wheel broke, throwing it against an electric light poles The car was completely wrecked and the pas- sengers jammed into a confused mass. To add to the passengers’ distress the fire in the stove communicated to the wreck- age. Fortunately other cars came along at this moment and it was only a short time before the fire had been extinguished and the passengers reileved. It was found that the car had coasted 1000 feet before the wheel broke. Dow Academy Burned. LITTLETON, N. H. Dec. 2.—Dow Academy at Franconia, named, for the late Mcses A. Dow of Charlestows Mass., has been burned. Mr. Dow presented the academy to the town seventy-five years ago and at his death in 1886 he left it $60,000. han on one side and the Moniaks on the other. The told the police, han by Mary arent: given to Mrs. Shana- Moniak on“behalf of her P s a peace offering. Mrs. Shana- han drank some of it and aid she suffer- ed from severe pains afterward. She of- | fered some of the wine to her niece, complained that it tasted bitter. Cum- mings drank the remainder and dled twenty-four hours later. “I have been poisoned by that bottle of wine, and 1 want the people who gave it to me arrested,” were his last words to Mrs. Shanahan. Dr. William T. Kirkby, who attended him, received a similar statement. An examination of Cummings’ stomach will be made to-morrow. Moniak and his wife deny that they had any knowledge of poison being in the wine. L] il @ ROUTS ARMY OF MOROCCO'S SULTAN | His e OE - .mtinued From Page 1, Column 7. A few days of siege means starvation. The Sultan may attempt to escape, but in that case Fez will acknowledge the pre- tender. “The Sultan’s troops were disastrously routed. The remnant fled to Fez, aban- doning everything, artillery, tents, rifles, ammunition, money and stores. 4 Prac- tically the whole army was routed, as comparatively few troops were left in | ‘ Fez. The road from Fez to Tangier is open and safec at present, but the pre- tender's prestige will receive an enor- | mous stimulus and loyal tribes will join his cause. If the Sultan escapes or can defend Fez, the south will support him, | in which case civil war is inevitable.” Mr. Harris, the correspondent of the Times at Fez, is said to be a confidential adviser of the Suitan of Morocco. ITALY WILL WELCOME AMERICAN WARSHIPS Incident at Venice With Cruiser Chicago Has Been H Forgotten. | ROME, Dec. 28.—It having been report- | ed that Commander William H. Reeder | Of the United States training ship Hart- ford had said that the Hartford wbuld not come to an Italian port fearing an un- favorable reception on account of the in- officers of the United States cruiser Chi- cago last spring, the press has been re- quested officially to deny the existence of any animosity toward the United States, either among the Italian people or on the part of the Italian Government. This lack of animosity, it is pointed out, is proved by the last Italian note on the Venezue- lan matter, in which it was said that Italy had unlimited confide in Presi- dent Roosevelt, If American ships of -war come to Ttaly they will be heartily wel- ccmed everywhere. = e OPENING OF BATTLE FOR STRATTON’S MONEY COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.; Dec. 28— To-morrow morning before Judge Orr of the County Court comes the real battle for the Stratton millions when the hear- ing on the admission of the will of W.
