NEW YORK, Jan. 27. The most ap
palling wreck that has occurred In the vi
cinity of this city in many years, the loss
of life being- estimated at not less than 30
persons, took place tonight at Graceland,
near Westfield, N. J., on the Central Hall
road of New Jersey, when the Royal Blue
Iine express, westbound, plunged at top
speed into the rear of a local train.
Seven bodies only have been identified,
while 16 more, almost unrecognizable
corpses, have been recovered. In addition,
it is almost certain that many bodies re
main In the wreck.
Immediately after the crash, three of
the shattered cars of the local train took
Are, rendering Impossible the rescue of
many of the wounded, who were pinned
iast in the wreck. Many bodies are be
lieved to have been consumed.
On board the flyer all the passengers,
though badly shaken up, escaped unin

Caused "by Fatal Delay.
The train which was run into left New
York at 5:45, and runs express to Bound
irook, making stops at Elizabeth, West
field and Plalnfleld. Beyond Boundbrook
it runs as a local. The Royal Blue train
left 15 minutes later, but travels at a
higher speed and makes no stops except
at Elizabeth, and is scheduled to over
take the slower train just beyond Grace
land, where the latter switches from
track No. 3 Into track No. 4 to permit
the Royal Blue to pass.
This evening a freight train was blocked
on track No. 4, and the local received
orders to proceed on the express track
to Dunnellen and there take the outside
or No. 4 track. Shortly after receiving
orders the train Jiad to stop for a hot
box, which caused such delays that when
It got under way again it was due at
Dunnellen. The train had just started and
was moving slowly, when the Royal Blue,
traveling at full speed, which at that point
'usually approximates 65 miles an hour,
crashed into the rear end.
The heavy engine of the Royal, Blue tore
Its way into the rear end, and at the same
time drove the forward end of that car
Into the rear end of the car ahead, which
in turn was driven into the third car, and
this in turn was driven into the fourth
car from the rear. The fourth car "was
only partly wrecked, but the last three
were torn to pieces. The engine of the
Royal Blue left the rails and turned over
on its side, the engineer and fireman stick
ing to their posts and going down in the
wreck. They are now in the hospital at
Plalnfleld. The engineer is not believed to
have any chance of living more than a
few hours.
Passengers on the Flyer say the engi
neer applied the brakes hard a minute or
so before the wreck. The train aljead had
sent a flagman back, but it seems he was
recalled when the train got under way,
and, although he left torpedoes, the Royal
Blue did not heed them or else was going
too fast to stop in . the short distance re
maining. The man who went back to flag
the train had just swung on .to the rear
of his train, and is among the dead.
The engine and the three cars which
were wrecked were piled in a heap, con
taining at Jeast 100 dead or injured. From
the mass came fearful cries for aid. A
minute later the wreck caught fire from
the firebox- of the locomotive. The
i
screams of the Injured in the heap were
intensified as they found themselves
hemmed in by the flamea
Cars a Chnrncl-House.
The passengers In the two forward cars
of the flrst train and all the men in the
express car and every one In the neigh
borhood started at work at once to get out
the Injured before the flames could reach
them. At times the flames reached the
rescuers and their clothing took fire, but
they worked on, though in constant dan
ger of being killed themselves. Some of
the Injured were burned to death In sight
of the men who were working with des
peration to save them. The flames soon
gained complete mastery of the last two
cars.
Fireman from Westfield were sum
moned by telephone, but arrived too late
to save many lives. Surgeons were called
from Elizabeth, Westfield and Plalnfleld,
and there were a score on hand. The
parlor cars of the Royal Blue train were
converted into a temporary hospital. The
dead, as they were taken out, were laid
In a row alongside the track until means
could be found to convey them to Plain
field. The firemen after a little mastered
the flames. Then the wreckage about
attracted attention, and the work of re
covering the bodies was begun. Out of
the first car, eight bodies were recovered.
The sight while the wreck was burning
was horrifying. Men could be seen In
the wreckage pinned fast amid the tim
bers of the cars and struggling to be
free, while the flames roared around
them. The rescuers were helpless to aid
them, as they already had been driven
from the wreck by the flames. One of
those who tried to take out a man pinned
found that he was held down by one leg
near the ankle, and, seeing it would be
useless to do anything else, is said to
have finally severed the man's leg and
then carried him to one of the parlor
cars. The rescued and rescuer were bad
ly burned.
When the cngino plowed Into the rear
car it partly split tne car open, and at
the same time lifted i.t up and onto it
self. This car was the first to take fire,
and most of those in it are dead. Some
of them are believed to be beneath the
overturned engine. Those in the car
ahead, which was lifted over the rear
car, suffered most. For some time before
the flames reached them from the car
below and behind them, they were en
veloped In smoko, and steam. It was here
that the worst scenes were witnessed.
The imprisoned ones begged for death to
end their agonies, and implored- those
who were-,laboring to get them free to
crush their heads with the axes they
were using to chop away the wreckage.
One passenger only was severely hurt
on the Royal Blue. He was walking in
the aisle of one of the cars when the
crash came. He was hurled through the
window. One of his hands was cut and
he was badly bruised. He said ho was a
son of John Wanamaker. of Philadel
phia. He did good work later on, after
his hand had been bandaged.
A Westfield doctor went into the wreck
and bandaged and treated the Injured
even before they were released. Some of
those he treated were afterward, suffo
cated or burned to death.
Another Train UitH WreckaKC.
Just as the wreck occurred, an east
bound train was approaching on track
No. 2. Before it could be stopped, the
engine crashed into the wreckage which
had been hurled on to the track, but it
was light stuff, and the engine brushed
it aside and crushed part of it under the
wheels. The train ran its own length
beyond the wreck, stopped, and, after as
certaining it had sustained no Injury it
self, proceeded to New York.
The railroad officials say the signals
were in working order, and that they
were properly set, and that the express
overran and dashed Into the block In
which the slower train already was. Rail
road men here say the engineer probably
failed to notice the signal, and, even
when he saw the tall lights of the train
ahead, did not realize for a moment that
they were on the same track as he was.
Traveling over 60 miles an hour with a
heavy train behind him, it was Impossi
ble to stop when ho realized the truth.
The engineer of the express train, John
S. Davies, was not the regular engineer.
He was, however, familiar with the run
ning of the train.
GIVE UP THE FIGHT.
(Continued from First Page.)
ents on one Issue without contradicting
them on the otherv They have delayed
the Inevitable until further delays can
only be productive of bad results for need
ed legislation, and have now apparently
taken the bull by the horns and will end
the matter this week.
The 10th joint ballot for United States
Senator today showed no change Irom
those which have preceded It. Four of
the members were paired, and the result
was as follows: Ankeny 53, Preston 42,
Turner 22, Wilson 9. Allen 6. All the life,
however, has gone from the Preston can
didacy, and a large number of the men
who voted for him today realized that
they were voting in the air and did so
for the purpose of carrying out in a half
hearted manner tho wishes of the King
County delegation which have swarmed
around Olympla for the past two weeks.
Wilson Pulls Out.
The exact date of the termination of this
queer contest is not stated, but it will
probably be ended in caucus tomorrow
evening. John I. Wilson today released
his little band of followers, and some of
them went at once and signed the. call
for a caucus. Others have not yet decided
what to do, and may continue, to vote for
Wilson until after a caucus is held.
It is expected that Preston will gain a
few votes tomorrow, as some of the men
who have been voting for John B. Allen
are friendly to Preston, and would like to
aid him if It were In their power. Their
votes under present conditions will be of
but little use to him, but aa the King
County men will continue to vote for him
tomorrow, he will undoubtedly have the
largest vote he has yot received.
The King County delegation held a pro
tracted meeting this evening, and in spite
of Its willingness' to go Into a caucus by
Saturday, expressed a desire to confer
again with Preston and endeavor to fol
low out any suggestions that he might
make that would tend to the settlement
of the contest in his favor. Word was
sent to Preston, bu.t he was Indisposed,
and no action was taken at the caucus. It
is believed that had he attended, an effort
would havo been made to Induce him to
give them permission to go into caucus
tomorrow evening. t
The Ankeny men are naturally Quite
jubilant ovsr the situation, but there have
been so many postponements' of the elec
tion that they are no longer setting a
date for It

BOWEN HOLDING DOWN FINAI COX.
FEREXCE "WITH ALLIES.
Contso's Offer Accepted and Ambas
tmdors Inclined to Let Other Pott
ers Share in Customs Revenue.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. The first Joint
conference of tho Venezuelan negotiators
occurred during the afternoon by appoint
ment at Mr. Bowen's apartments, the
ranking diplomat, "Signor Mayor Des
planches, the Italian Ambassador, mak
ing the representations in French to Mr.
Bowen. " The question under discussion
was a matter of tho merest detail, the en
voys wishing to know whether the month
ly payments to the allies should be in pro
portion to the amount of the claims or
whether Great Britain, Germany and
Italy would receive the same amounts
each month until tho Indemnity was paid.
Mr. Bowen said he was quite willing to
leave this to the powers themselves to
settle, and any arrangement they might
make would be satisfactory to Venezuela.
Another detail which has not yet been
cleared up involves the question of pref
erential treatment of the allied powers as
against France, Denmark, Holland, Nor
way and Sweden, Belgium, Spain and the
United States In the payment of Indemni
ties. The point was made by Venezuela's
representative that, were tho dispute re
ferred to The Hague tribunal, all the
powers would be required to stand on an
equality, and, furthermore, that as this
question did not form a part of the allies
condition precedent to the raising of the
blockade, it did not seem fair that it
should be presented as essential now that
Venezuela had complied with the original
proposition and offered a satisfactory
guaranty. This answer was cabled to thp
foreign offices at London, Berlin and
Rome tonight, and it is hoped that favor
able answers will be received tomorrow.
The force of Mr. Bowen's contention has
appealed to the allies' representatives
here, and there is reason to believo that
Great Britain, Germany and Italy will
yield on this last objection and sign the
protocol for the raising of the blockade.
The blockade once lifted, the representa
tives of all the powers having claims
against Venezuela will treat with Mr.
Bowen separately for the settlement of
their Indemnities.
Mr. Bowen confidently hopes tho powers
may agree to his propositions, and that a
joint answer to this effect may come to
Washington tomorrow."
"WHY ERMAXY BOMBARDED.
Official Explanation of San Carlos
Affair Shows Moderation.
LONDON, Jan. 27. Count von Quadt,
tho German Charge d Affaires at Wash
ington, has been Instructed to communi
cate Jo the United States Government, and
Count Wolff -Metternlch, the German Am
bassador here, to the British Foreign Of
fice, further particulars , received1 by tho
German government of the circumstances
which caused the bombardment of Fort
San Carlos.
According to this statement, the Ger
man cruiser Panther was proceeding to
enter Maracalbo Lagoon, when she was
suddenly fired upon by the fort, and had
no alternative "but to return the fire. The
commander of the Panther communicated
with the German Commodore, and there
upon the other German warships were or
dered to bombard Fort San Carlo?. In
making this communication to tho United
States, the German government expressed
tho conviction that no Amerlcanior Brit
ish Admiral would have suffered his
ships to be fired on without retaliating.
It is affirmed by the German officials
hero that the action of Fort San Carlos
was probably directed from Caracas, tho
purpose being o gain American and Eu
ropean sympathy by making it appear
that the Germans were acting harshly. It
is thought the forts would, not havo fired
upon a British ship..
As indicative of the fact that tho Ger
mans do not dcslro to embroil the situa
tion unnecessarily, It is pointed out in the
official s'tatement that the Restaurador,
now under the German flag, was recently
close to the shore of La Guayra, when
many rifle shots were flred at her, but in
order not to cause trouble she left with
out returning the fire.
ALLIES ARB IX HARMONY.
Germany Officially Denies Rumors of
Friction With Britain,
v LONDON, Jan. 27. The following state
ment was authorized by the German Em
bassy here:
"There Is not the slightest truth in the
reports of friction or misunderstanding be
tween England and Germany In regard to
Venezuela. Both governments continue
to act in perfect harmony, and will si
multaneously withdraw the blockade at the
earliest possible moment. It Is to be--e-gretted
that the House of Commons Is not
In session, as a question In the House
would doubtless reveal the perfect under
standing which exists between the two
countries. Thero has been no disapproval
of any kind expressed by the British gov
ernment regarding Germany's conduct of
affairs in' connection with Venezuela. No
date has yet been settled for raising the
blockade, but it will cease just as soon as
the representatives of the powers reach a
final agreement with Mr. Bowen. The
feeling expressed In the press here, and
reflected In the cable dispatches from
New York that England flnds the German
alliance embarrassing is in no way con
firmed by the government's attitude."
ALLIES MAY WANT MORE.
May Also Shut Out Powers Which
Did Xot Join Blockade.
BERLIN, Jan. 27. President Castro's
offer of 30 per cent of the customs receipts
of La Guayra and Porto Cabello as a
guarantee for the payment of the foreign
claims Is regarded In official circles here
as evidence of the sincerity of his inten
tion to make satisfactory settlement If
the offer, however. Includes claims of oth
er countries besides those taking part in
the blockade, some doubt is expressed as
to whether 20 per cent is adequate. A
discussion Is now proceeding to determine
this point It Is also uncertain whether
the allies will admit that powers which do
not Join in the blockade shall share in the
results the former secured through ex
pensive naval operations.

FIFTY PEOPLE BURNED.
London Asylum Inmates Perish in
llnrnInK Buildinp;.
LONDON, Jan. 27. Half a hundred In
sane natients were fmrned to death bv
a fire at the Colney Hatch Asylum this
morning. The outbreak occurred in the
Jewish wing of the institution. The flames
spread with great rapidity and before
they could be got under control five
wooden buildings were gutted.
All the efforts of tho officials were dl
rected to removing the Insane inmates.
but the latter became wild with excite
ment and so panic-stricken that not only
were they unable to help themselves, but
greatly Impeded the operations of those
trying to save them.
Thero were nearly 600 women in the
burning annex at the time the firo was
discovered and most of them were safely
transferred to the main building, which
was uninjured. Some, however, escaped
and are still at large, rendering it dlfll
cult to ascertain the exact number of
those burned to death.
The work of searching the ruins con
tinues. The officials admit that about
50 bodies have been recovered, but It is
reared that the full extent of the disas
ter Is not yet known. All the victims
were lunatics. Their charred remains
presented a horrifying spectacle. The
asylum was besieged by anxious rela
tives and friends of tho patients who
arrived from all quarters. Pitiable scenes
were witnessed as weeping men and wom
en left the premises, after ascertaining
that relatives and friends had perished
In the flames.
The nurses had a terrible experience
in trying to assist the insane people who
were so panic-stricken that they had lit
erally to bo driven to a place of safety.
The Inflammable premises almost lm
mediately became a furnace. Nothing
was left standing. The corrugated iron
roofs of the dormitories and the bedsteads
of the patients were melted by tho In
tense heat Some of tho lunatics wero
burned in their beds and the charred re
mains of others were found huddled to
gether in corners, while groups of par
tially consumed bodies on the site of tho
corridors showed that many persons lost
their lives and sacrificed those of others
in their frantic efforts to force a pas
sage through the flames to the main
building.
Tho latest estimate places the number
of deaths at 52. All the victims wero
women.
The circumstances . accompanying the
destruction of the Insane asylum at Col
ney Hatch have excited much Indignation
against the authorities. It Is alleged that.
In addition to tho lack of sufficient water
supply and of adequate fire department
the complex system of locks, requiring
master keys, which could not be found
when wanted, was responsible for the
terrible scenes enacted. ,
CZECHS SCORX CONCESSIONS.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27. Reports from Bo

extremists are prosecuting and extending
a violent campaign against the compar
