Twcnty- two charred and mutilated bodies have fcwn taken from smoldering ruins of paR-.enRor train No. 3. on the Cleveland, Cincinnati. " Chfcano- A St. TouIa (Bfsr Four), which, was destroye by the ex- plosion of a carload of powder as It paPRed a freig-ht train at Sandford, nine miles west of here last nipht- The num r of injured will reach at least 36. The entire train was blown from the track, the coaches demolished, and the engine hurled 0 eet. The passengers either were blown to pieces, cremated or rnscucd in a more or less injured con- 3ition. The injured, some of whom are fatally Jiurt, lire at the hospitals in Terre Haute and Farts. Til., and at Sandford. The full extent of the disaster was revealed at daylight, but the death list will not be complete until workmen have finished el earing the debris away. Theories as to Explosion. According to trainmen of the freight, the powder was exploded by the con cussion made by the pansenpor train, which was slowing down for the station at Slindford. Another theory is that gas exploding: from an oil pipeline near by, entered the powder car and a spark from the paelns engine iRnited the gran. Others express the belief that the disas ter was due to a tramp or an intoxicated man firing a shot Into the ear. The ears were smashed to pieces by t lie force of the explosion. Hue pieces of iron were found hundreds of feet away from the track, The tank of the engine was hurled nearly 100 feet from the trick. Two passenger coaches and one liiiBKaffe coach were consumed by Are. The freight train, in which was the car of powder was demolished. Sanford was badly shocked. Windows were fluttered. dishes and? furniture broken and doors torn from their hinges. . Work of Resone Parties. The nifrht was dark, and heavy rains had rendered the streets of Sandford almost impassable. As the passenger fngina went by the powder car standing on an adjoining- track, the explosion came without warning:. The entire train was blown from the tracks and crashed Into thft mud a mass of debris, pinning under it 40 human beings. Pi re broke out. and before the citizens who rushftd to the rescue could axri ve, many per- eons were burned. In the darkness, by the light of the fiurninjr coaches, the people of Sandford did their bet for the wtrlcken. Cries - of the injured and the crackling of the flames, together with the odor of burn ; ing human flash, greeted the rescuers, who worked frantically but soon were t forced back by the terrible heat, j Among the first rescued was !. F. Ruse of Mattoon, III., engineer of main tenance of way of the Big Four railroad. Mis lesr was broken and he was severely brulshed. He was carried to the home of C. EL Marrs. 2X) feet away. Soon Mrs. Rose was brought in painfully bruised, 'but assisted in the care of her husband until she collapsed. Prag Out Charred Remain. Others were rescued as the flames ad vanced. As men threw their strength to the work of disentangling- human forms from the wreckage, the women of Sand ford cared for the injured. When the fire drove the rescuers away they waited till the Are died down and then started to drag out the charred bodies. Men searched nearby fields and found pieces of human flesh and wearing apparel. There was no efficient water supply 1 o fight the flames, and the bitter cold added, to the suffering. Four badly mini- la tod bodies were found In the woods several hundred feet from the tracks. One thousand feet of the track was torn up and a great hole shown where the powder car stood. This car was being hauled from Concord Junction. Mass.. to Kajt A Iton, 111., and contained BOO kpRs of powder. Trainmen Hurled lOO Fet.

Houghton, of the Big Four Railroad, tonight gave a state ment to the Associated Press regarding the disaster at Sandford last nij?ht. According- to reports received by the superintendent, 15 are dead and 35 in- jured. Mr. Houghton declared he did not have the least Idea as to the cause of the explosion. "The number of dead," said Mr. Hough ton, "according to offxial reports is 15. Of these, nine have been recovered and six more are known to be dead. There are six Injured In the hospital at Terre Haute, Ind. ; 25 at Paris, 111., and prob- ably lour or five in residences at Bano- ford. Ind. "Of the passenger train crew, the ex press messenger. baKfrageman and brake- mtin were killed.. The engineer and fire man are living, but badly injured. Con- ductor Thomas Is fatally hurt. "The entire train of No. 3. consisting of an engine, tender, combination mail and baggage car, smoking car and one coach were destroyed by the explosion and tire which followed soon afterward. Of the freight train containing- the pow der car, eight cars were destroyed. One thoupand feet of the roadbed was torn up by the explosion, and considerable dam- aft done to telegraph and telephone wires. The car containing: the powder was shipped from Concord Junction, Mass.. consigned to East Alton, 11L, and contained 500 kegs of powder? "1 have not the least ida what caused the explosion. It could not have been caused from the passenger train, as the train was moving slowly, possibly not over JO or 35 miles an hour." Mr. clousrlitun says It would be a hard matter to estimate the number of people on the train, as it did local work. He thought the train contained 60 to SO people when It left Terre Haute.

ARRANGED BY CONFERENCE Desire to Sidetrack Blackburn Amendment to Foniker Resolu tion Brings About Aproe- ment on Vel QuesMon. "WASHINGTON. Jan. SO Several con ferences ot Republican Senators were held today to onsidr the Blackburn amendment to the Foraker resolution, relative to the President's dl-charjt of the negro troops. - President Roosevelt spent several hours with Senator Lodge In the afternoon and several Republican Senators were called In to discuss the Brownsville affair with -the view of reach ing an agreement as to what action is to be taken In the Senate tomorrow. The Associated Press vu authorita tively informed tonierht that a decision was reached to draft a resolution along; the lines of the original Lodge resolution, which will meet the approval of Mr. Blackburn. This resolution will be Intro-, duced by a Republican and will be sup-' ported by both Republican and Demo cratic Senators' who take the position that "the Senate had no legal right to question the action of the President.' Later a number of Republican Senators met at Senator Knox'8 home to discuss some plan whereby a compromise could be reached in order that the Blackburn amendment mifgrht not be brought to a Vote. Senator Foraker took no part In any of the conferences, and declared that he would vote against the Blackburn amend ment If the question is brought before the Senate tomorrow. The Ohio Senator said that he really did not care whether the resolution was adopted or voted down. - "All that I care for," he said, "is an investigation of the whole affair, in order that the real facts may be laid berore the Senate." Senators Lodn. Knox. Hansbrouch, Crane and A.Idrit-h are said to have taken part In the conference which resulted in the decision to Introduce a compromise resolution for the Blackburn amendment tomorrow. The President flnaJly agreed to the plan for a compromise resolution which will indorse his action tin dismissing the troops, to be introduced by a Republican. Ko decision has been reached as to which Senator will Introduce it, but It was inti mated tonight that the resolution would probably be offered by either Senator Knox or Senator Hansbroturh. The President, it is stated, insisted that this resolution must meet the approval of Senator Blackburn and the Democratic Senators who have sided with Mr. Roose velt in the controversy. After the con ference at Mr. ixjdge s home an the after- noon, the President and Senator Lodge went out horseback riding and were gone two hours. Senator Lodge admitted that the Brownsville affair was discussed, at this time. TILLMAN" TO MAKE REPLY South Carolina Senator Will Answer Senator Spooner Today. WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. The Black burn amendment to the Foraker resolu tion relative to the President's discharge of negro troops will hold the principal place on the. Senatorial programme for the present week. The subject will come up Monday, if not interfered with by the salary increase amendment to the legislative appropriation bill, and will con tinue to receive attention until a general agreement for an adjustment of the mat ter can be arrived at. The Republican leaders are making strenuous efforts to secure unanimous action by Republican Senators In support of a motion to table the Blackburn amendment, but confess that the result is not entirely sol iRfactory. and it is gen erally admitted that if one or two Sena tors break' over the lines it will he diffi cult to prevent a number of the others from seceding. Some of the staunchest of the Presi dents supporters now predict that In case all the Republican Senators cannot be held in opposition to the Blackburn amendment the Republican Senators themselves will take up the amendment and put it through. There is, however, no decision upon such a course, nor Is there likely to be any conclusion on that subject for a few days to come. Senators generally confess the situation to be em barrassing, but while they will be pleased to have It disposed of they do not con sider the prospect good for early action. Ici-iii m on Lodge's -Action . Much will depend upon a statement which Senator Tjodge is expected to make on Monday. The )fassachusctts Senator ws the drat to offer n. provision declar inK th Presidential prerogative in the discharge of soldiers as a part of his privilege as Commander-in-Chief of the Army. - and aside from his well-known convictions on that subject, the Tact of his intimacy with the President would Insure a large followine if he should de- cide to antagonize, the Blackburn amend ment an a. matter of party iolicy. If. on the other hand, he should an- nounce His adherence to the principle re- gardless of the authorship of the declara tion, there can be no doubt that he would carry with him a sufficient number of Senators to insure the passage of the Blackburn amendment. The Immediate effort On the part of the Republicans will be to find some compromise pro vision, and unless they succeed it is prob- able that a vote will be postponed unless unanimous opposition to the Blackburn amendment can be secured. The Brownsville subject will be dis cussed on Monday by Senator Tillman. who will reply to Senator Spooner's crltl- clsra of himself. Probahly the first business of the Smate this week will be concurrence In. the ac tion of the( House in voting an increase of the salaries of Senators and Repre sentatives and also of the Vice-President. the Speaker and members or the Cabinet. There Is little opposition to the amend- mcnt. Discuss Smoot Tuesday. Tuesday will he partly devoted bv the Senate to listening to a speech of Senator Sutherland jn opposition to the resolution for the expulsion of his colleague. Senator Smoot: Wednesday to a Bpcech by Sena tor Beveridge in support of his child labor bill, and later in the week Senator Carter will probably call up his resolution re- gardlns the public lands for an explana tion of his views on that subject. When the Smoot resolution Is taken up Senator Burrows, chairman of the committee on privileges and elections. will ask the Senate to name a day for takinjr a vote on that resolution. TTe will fix a day sufficiently distant to give CQMPRUMlSr" aii Senators mJ flealr t0 1)eartl on the subject a chance to Speak. The House will Elve the major portion ot Its -time this weelc to the consideration of appropriation bills. .Consideration of the shin subsidy bill by the House will be postponed until the river and harbor bi 11 Is dlnpoBed ot. It Is hoped by the friends of the 1m- migration bill that the measure may be agreed on In conference on Monday, and it so there -will probably- be an effort in both houses to have the report accepted during the week.

Mary Church Terrlll la doubtless the most accomplished negrro woman In America. She was the first woman ap pointed on the Board of Education In the District of Columbia, and not long: ago when she went to Berlin to attend the meeting of the International Association for the Advancement of Women, she sur prised the entire assemblage by being able to deliver her addreas in three lan guages. She was formerly from Mem Phi". She now devotes much time to lec turing on subjects concerning the wel fare of the negro race. Several years ago when a fight occurred in Chicago one of the combatants re ceived a stab wound In the heart. The first physician to reach the apparently doomed man was Dr. Daniel H. Williams, a negro practitioner, who succeeded In sewing up the man's heart. This was the first time any such operation was ever reported In the history of medicine. At the last account the patient In this re markable case waa still alive. Dr. Wil- llams has since served on the Illinois State Board of Health. Arcliiteot. and Inventor. The plans for the handsome building which will contain the negro exhibit at the Jamestown Exposition next Summer were drawn by W. Sydney Pittman, a negro architect, who started In to learn the trade of wheelwright at Tuskegee. His unusual ability in making accurate estimates of the cost of production at tracted the attention of his teachers, who advised him to begin the study ot archi tectural drawing. He drew the design for the Collls P. Huntington memorial building at Tuskegee. which has 41 class rooms and Is the largest building on the ground. The most successful inventor of the negro race Is Hald to be- Granville T. Wood, an electrician, who lias patented 35 different mechanical devices. These include a steam boiler furnace, four kinds of electrical apparatus, four electric rail way improvements, two electrical brakes and a telephone system. The latter is used by the Bell Telephone Company, and one of his electrical devices is In use on the elevated railway in New York. The champion lightweight prizefighter of the world is Joe Gans, a Baltimore negro. Although Gans has been In the fistic game for 16 years, he still has enough steam and science to defend his title against all comers in his class. Last year he fought four times, winning three of his battles by knockouts and gaining one on a foul. His last victory was at Tonopah. Nov., on New Tear's day. Cotton-Grower and Farmer.

BIG PARADE IS A FAILURE Workmen Sought to Arouse Public Sympathy to Compel Enforce ment Weekly Rest Iaw. but Soldiers Slock Streets. PARIS, Jan. 20. Firm measures, taken by the government, turned Into a fiasco the Socialist workmen's gigantic demon stration in favor of the complete enforce ment of the weekly rest day law. which had been planned to take place on the main boulevards today. Under the French law, parades with out the Buthorlzatlon of the prefect, who makes arranRementa In advance for po lice protection, are Illegal, ' but, count ing upon the complacency of the radical government, the labor leaders disdained tills formality. Premier t'lemenceau. however, realizing that a procession ot such magnitude would surely lead to trouble, as work men on Friday had wrecked the shops of several owners who would not comply with the law, last night notified the lead ers of the demonstration that it would not be permitted to take place. At this the leaders were greatly In censed and issued orders to their fellows to march in small groups under work men's flags to the Place de la Repub- lique, similar to the plan of the St. Petersburg workmen to the palace square of that city on "Red Sunday." The placing of troops and police, how ever, rendered this impossible, and every where the workmen found their routes blocked. Practically the precautions of May 1. when the strikers were overawed, were repeated. Infantry, dragoons, and Republican guards were massed In the Place de la. RppublUiue, and all the streets leading to it were cleared In order to permit the cavalry to manouver with out their horses slipping. The net result of the attempt at a demonstration was much excitement, scores of small processions dispersed, several inciplont riots quelled and hun dreds of workmen arrested and released In a few hours. Many of the men had broken heads and several were seriously wounded. The marchers sang revolu tionary songs and there were numerous cries of "Down with Clemenceau."

Mr. Tower, replying to a question by the Associated Press, said Professor Martens was an old personal friend and was likely to call on him when in Ber lin, as he never passed through the capi tal without doing so.
