Special to i hi Chronicle.
New York. Jan. 18. A representative
of the Slaven Dredging company, in
peaking of the dispatches concerning
the connection of the firm with the
Panama canal company , has this to say ;
We received not $15,000,000 but $20,-
000,000 for our work on the canal, and
we did the work we contracted to do for
it, and did it well.' Our relations with
the Panama canal company are as open
as the day. . We have nothing to conceal.
All such talk is absurd. I. never heard
of any suit being brought against the
company or any member of the company,
such as that spoken of in the dispatch. It
is strange that it could take place without
my knowledge. ''There are no revela
tions which can be made concerning our
connection with the canal company."
continued the representative. "We
simply had a contract to do so ' much
work for so much money. We did it
and. got our money. We made . monev
on the contract because we were able,
with our approved appliances, to do the
work cheaper in fact than we thought
we could ourselves. There is no sen
sation in the Slaven end of the canal
scheme. It was a simple business trans
action from beginning to end : no senti
ment, no bribery, no corruption ; just
hard work well done and paid for accord
ing to contract."
Up The Columbia. . ...
Spokane, Jan. 18. Special A
gentleman-well acquainted with Capt
Griggs of the steamer City of Ellens'
burgh, on the Columbia, stated yestsr
day that he had inside information to
the effect that it is President Hill's de
termination to build a branch line up
the Columbia river to control the Big
Bend grain trade and the Okanogan
mining and cattle shipments. As to
which side of the river the line will be
built upon, the gentleman conld not
state. Neither could . he give with
positiveness the terminus, but it will be
either at or " opposite -Virginia Bill's
place, Port uommoia, .Bridgeport or
Swansea, but whether that wonld cut
any figure with the railroad or not is
unknown. Pending the construction of
the branch line the City of Ellensburg will
bring the business down the river to the
Great Northern at Wenatchee, and after
the Columbia river bridge is built the
Thomas L. Nixon, now used as a transfer
boat will be put into that trade.

Aleets With Favor. ,
Waterville Democrat. The plan of
taxing inheritances is one which meets
with much favor nowadays. Starting
with the proposition, which is believed
to be a sound one, that the right to
transmit property from one generation to
another is not natural, but subject to
the control and permission of the state,
the advocates of the plan point out that
it has stood the test of actual experience
in other countries, and has been found
po work very well. What particularly
commends it to public favor, however,
is the certainty with which it can be col
lected. When a man dies his estate is
subject to the inheritance tax before it
can be settled. Small estates are ex
empt, but large ones must pay the tax
in the same way as other claims are
paid. There is much merit in the idea.
Roasted to Death.
Keokuk, la., Jan. 17. The. first sec
tion of the California limited on the
Santa Fe was derailed five miles east of
Dedill, Mo., this morning. The dining
car rolled down the embankment,
caught fire and was burned. William
Ross, a colored waiter was roasted alive.
Six or eight were seriously injured. A
broken rail caused the wreck.

Escape tbe Penalty.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 17. A remark
able accident occurred this morning on
a railway line between Slatousk and
Samara. A train loaded . with recruits
was going at full speed when the for
ward car took lire. For some reason the
engineer did not stop and the entire
train was soon in flames. As many of
the recruits as could jumped from the
car windows. Some landed in deep
snow banks and escaped injury ; others
struck tbe ground and were killed.
Many were fearfully burned before
jumping. Numbers were burned to
death, in the cars, Vrhich were entirely
consumed. . When the roll was called it
was found that forty-nine were dead and
twenty terribly burned or otherwise ter
ribly injured. Aji. investigation will be
held to determine the cause of the fire,
bat it is supposed that the soldiers, sky
larking in the front car, upset the stove.
Condition, of Ex-President Hayes.
Fremont, O., Jan. 17. The condition
of ex-President Hayes at ten this morn
ing is the same as last night. Dr. Hil-
bieh, attending physician, spent all last
night at the bedside of the stricken ex
president. The Hayes mansion is kept
perfectly quiet. The general's son,
Rutherford said this morning that his
father's condition was about the same as
last night. Many messages of condo
lence are being received, and the illness
everywhere is the subject uppermost in
this city. His death is elsewhere
reported. J .

Roue, Jan. 17. The great trial o
the Mala Tita criminals began yesterday
in tarranto. The 102 prisoners were
brought heavily ironed into' the court

As the Taranto courthouse is too email
to accomodate the witnesses and prison
ers, the church of St. Givonni will be
used during the trial as a criminal court.
