That expansion of the rails, dut to , tho heat of the sun, and the result ant buckling of the steel was the pe culiar cause of the wreck of the Or egon oxpross on tho Southern Pacific at the Feather River bridge, near Jfarysville, on Monday, in which threo railroad men lost their lives, is the official explanation of the acci dent us given out by the company today. No blame attaches to any employe of the road. , Tho evidence showed that tho train wus running at four miles nn hour. Tho weather was unusually warm. Dpring tho entire morning the rays of the sun wore storing up heat in the rails. Tho npprouch to the bridge, which is being newly bullast d and raised, is y per cent down jjntdo. Tho rails had probably been Punched" or crowded together, ow iflg io expansion. This "bunching" wns aggravated when. Engineer Condon's train came down tho grade toward tho bridge with tho airbrakes holding the couches in check. It is believed that tho rails muct have been kinked out of line by tho heat ;'ust a few feet cfecud of the locomotive Tho engino then climbed (he guard Tail on tho bridgo and plunged to tho river bed below. itfot a spike was drawn from the rails, and this is held as conclusive proof that the theory .cdvtuiced by tho company is correct.

Led bv Walter Dorman, sentenced for life iu connection with the famous Biddle boj's' case, the prison orchestra at the Western Pennsylvania penitenti ary yesterday tendered God-speed for one of their number, who will be released today. "Home, Sweet Home," was the selection the leader started on the piano as tho convicts filed out of the chapel, and it was for the benefit of the fellow player who for seven years had beat the bass drum. A few straggling convicts who had not yet left the chapel caught the air and began to hum it, and smiled con gratulations on the fortunate one, who hnd pillowed his head in his arms, crossed on his drum, overcome by the little prison drama. Warden John Francis, a "give-a-man-n-chance" type of an official, would not disclose the name of the prisoner, and as a result he will walk into the world again unheralded, that he might begin life over.

Thousands have re turned nnd a great many more are expected back soon. ClaTcnco J. Blanchard, statistician of the reclamation service, who is in the field inspecting irrigation pro jects, reports he has interviewed many settlers in Montana, who had tried the Canadian experiment, but were glad to return home. They said practically every American farmer near Alberta, where tho Canadian government maintains an irrigation project, was anxious to get back if he .could sell his hogs in the Domin ion. The American settlers were dissat isfied with tho character of the land, the crops from which they alleged consisted principally of alfalfa and such hardy grninB as winter wlietyt and even these were not sure. The form of government did not appeal to them, and thoy considered railroad rates exhorbitant. Tho climate was a source of dissatisfaction, ice nnd snow in August and September of Inst year adding to their discontent. During the last nine months it wus said at tho reclamation office today 15,000 settlors have returned to the states from Canada. GUNBOAT SENT TO PROTECT AMERICANS BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua, July 20.
