COMPANY IS CENSURED KEW YOIIK CENTRAL HELD TO II C nlu;lk;i:t and iwiMKMiiiKssivu. Decision of State Ilnllwny Comniis lonfr In Hofrnrd to Hie Tunnel Diauater. ALBANY. N. Y., Feb. 7. The State Board of Railroad Commissioners to-day-handed duwn its decision regarding the re cent disaster in the New York Central Rail road tunnel in New York city. The de cision censures the company for allowing Inexperienced engineers to run a train through the tunnel, and recommends that at some time in the future the roof be taken off the tunnel, using bridges at in tersecting street. However, In this con nection, it says that such a change would be intolerable unless electricity is substi tuted as the motive power for trains, and recommend legislation to allow such changes. The commission finds that the company "has been negligent, derelict and unpro gressive in failing to take measures to In crease ita terminal facilities," and that it has albo been negligent in "falling to ex amine more closely into the qualifications of raw engineers." Recommendations for the improvement of the system of signa'is are made, and the commission approves the proposed underground loop for suburban traffic. It declares that the number of trains run through the tunnel is necessary because of the demands of traffic and says "the time Is not many years distant when, even with the contemplated Improvements In operation, the increasing traffic of the great city and of this triple railroad termi nus will require enlarged and better fa cilities." The commission points to the interesting fact that in there were 177.460 trains moved through the tunnel, an average of over 4vi per day. Therefore, the commis sion says the Haltlmore & Ohio tunnel at Haltlmori and the Liverpool tunnel under the. River Mersey bear no comparison to the New York Central tunnel in respect to traffic.

In his address at the opening of the Stevens Institute of Technology, In Iloboken, Andrew Carnegie, in accepting a casket containing a piece of the first "T" rail rolled, said: "To think that my name should figure on the same casket with Robert L. Stevens Is an honor beyond all expectation, for among men none was of more value than he. In the list of geniuses that you can count on the fingers of two hands, no list is complete without the name of Robert L. Stevens. I had no Inventive mind; simply a mind to use the Inventions of others. I think a fit epitaph for me would be: 'Here Ilea a man who knew how to g-et around him men much cleverer than himself.'

ANOTHER BRIEF BY COUNSEL PROTEST AGAINST THE CLAIM SET IP IN SCHLEY'S APPEAL. Letter Written by the Late President McKinley Which Commended Rear Admiral Sampson. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. Alarming ru mors were afloat here to-day to the effect that Admiral Sampson had taken a serious turn for the worse within the last twenty four hours. Inquiries at the house showed that the rumors were based on a slight at tack of Indigestion, which caused no alarm among those nearest the rear admiral, but which had confined him to his room and bed for several days. Moreover, it was stated that Admiral Sampson's condition was much improved to-day, and that he appeared brighter than for some time past. It Is expected he will be able to come down stairs to his meals to-morrow, and it Is said that as soon as the streels dry the admiral will resume his daily walks, which have been interrupted by the attack of in digestion and the bad state of the weather. However, it may. be stated that Admiral Sampson's general condition is such as to give some basis of fact to the ever-recurring bad reports. Yet at present it is said absolutely no forecast of the end of the fight his vitality is waging can be made. IlEI'LY TO SCHLEY'S APPEAL. Brief Filed by Saiapion'a Counsel ivlth President Roosevelt. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. E. S. Theall, representing Stayton, Campbell & Theall, counsel for Rear Admiral Sampson, to-day filed the following brief with President Roosevelt, protesting against the claim set up in Admiral Schley's appeal that he was in supreme command during the battle ot Santiago: "30 Broad street. New York City. Feb. 6. "Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States: "Sir We beg leave, as attorneys for Rear Admiral W. T. Sampson, and on his behalf, to submit the following statement in con nection with the position of Rear Admiral W. S. Schley, asking relief from his con demnation as reported by a court of in quiry and approved by the secretary of the navy. "No argument will be submitted as to the volunteered opinion of the presiding member of the court on the question of command at Santiago. We repeatedly ap plied for an opportunity to present evi dence upon this point to the court, and our request was as often refused, and we are confident that an attempt to pronounce an adverse Judgment where a hearing has been denied is so plain a violation of sim ple good fslth that it has no chance of re ceiving your approval. We were ready then, and are still ready, to produce much evi dence, which was not offered before the court on this question. "We are prepared to show that the state ment that the New York, at the beginning of the battle, 'was out of fight of each and every ship of the blockading squadron but one.' Is Inaccurate. "We are ready to show that under the navy regulations and under the Judicial Interpretations thereof Rear Admiral Sampson was, during the battle. In com mand of every single vessel in the Ameri can line. There Is abundance of testimony available to show that from the beginning of the battle every available American vessel at Santiago was in sight of the New York. There is evidence at hand, both rec ord and oral, to show that whenever the commander-in-chief left the blockading line In front of Santiago, he hoisted the signal, 'Disregard movements of commander-in-chief,' proceeded to that point, where, un der the regulations his immediate com mand of the squadron ceased, and then sig naled to the next in rank to take com mand; and that on the morning of July 3, the commander In chief had given instruc tions to have ready for hoisting the signal directing Commodore Schley to assume command; that this signal was to be hoisted, when, under the regulations, the proper moment arrived, that that moment had not arrived, and that such signal had not been hoisted when the enemy endeav ored to escape from the harbor. "From the Oregon, too, there is available evidence to show that when the first shot was fired the quartermaster of the Ore gon, using his long glass, could from the position of that vesel near the center of the line, read the New York's battle signals then flying. "All this evidence was ready to be pre sented to the court of Inquiry, and it is ready to be presented to you. It was not admitted before the court, because It re fused to go into the question of command. Rear Admiral Sampson has never objected, and does not now object, to any inquiry to determine the question of command. lie has, however, reported that he was in com mand at that battle. As commander-in-chief he has made his recommendations concerning the promotions. He has been recognized by the legislative and Judicial departments of the government as being in command, and he asks that when the ac curacy of his reports Is questioned, he be at least permitted to hear the evidence in opposition, and to permit his brother of ficers to come forward with the testimony they are ready to give in his behalf. "There is further an abundance of evi dence available to establish the fact that what the applicant now calls 'the complete and total failure of the prearranged order of battle, was due wholly to his own dis obedience of the orders of the commander in chief. These orders were to close in and hold the enemy at the harbor's mouth. Commander Schley so understood the or ders. He hoisted the very signal. Yet. when he saw the enemy approaching that part of the line guarded by his own vessel he 'looped.' ie withdrew from the battle for mation, left a hole in the line. Interfered with the Texas, which would have stopped the gap, and caused her to back, thereby giving to the enemy the double opportunity of which they availed themselves to es cape through the interval he had made. "We have no desire to prolong this con troversy. We only ask that before there shall be a finding adverse to Admiral Sampson either by the President, the courts or the Navy Department, that he be given the opportunity which has been giv en to Admiral Schley to present such evi dence as may make both sides of the mat ter clear." The President will consider the brief In connection with Admiral Schley's appeal and the Navy Department's comment. - M'KINLEY TO SAMPSON. Late President Ilecogniied the Admi ral aa Conimnnder-ln-Chlef. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Secretary Long to-day issued the following order regarding the retirement of Rear Admiral Sampson: "Sir In notifying you of your retirement, the department, recognizing your services and deeply sympathizing with you in your impaired health, quotes with pleasure the following letter from the late President McKinley: " 'Executive Mansion. "Washington, March 13. ltjl.

I highly commend this disinterested action on your part. I.iet me assure you that I have the highest appreciation of your serv ices as commander-in-chief of the naval force in blockading Cuba, co-operating with the army, directing the movements of the great number of vessels under your orders, and at last, after the most effective prep aration, consummating, with the gallant officers and men under your command, the destruction of the Spanish fleet. It was In recognition of your services, and of your great skill, that I recommend -you to the Senate for the advancement which you had earned. WILLIAM M'KINLEY. " 'Rear Admiral William T. Sampson. U.

The House of Delegates, under a suspension of the rules, unanimously passed to-day the Senate bill appropriating $3,000 to place a bronze bust of Rear Admiral W. S. Schley in the State building here. In like manner It adopted the Joint resolution passed by the Senate requesting Congress to secure the passage at an early date of a Joint resolution thank ing Admiral Schley by name for his serv ice in the battle of Santiago. Schley Silent. SALISBURY, N. C, Feb. 7. Admiral Schley, who passed through here to-night over the Southern Railway for Washing ton, was apprised of the fact that counsel for Admiral Sampson to-day filed a state ment with President Roosevelt in conten tion with the claim that Admiral Schley was in command at Santiago. Admiral Schley refused, however, to discuss the matter. TO ATTACK THE CITIES REBELS 31AY TRY TO CAPTURE PAN JL21JL JLXD CCL05J. Note from General Herrcra to For eign Consols Saying: that Warn ing Will Be Given. PANAMA, Colombia, Feb. 7. Col. Julien del Castillo, an envoy from General Her- rera, the insurgent comamnder, arrived here last night, escorted by police, and left Panama at lö o'clock. Governor Ar Jona received an Important note from Col. Del Castillo, addressed to the American, French. British and German consuls here. In it General Herrera claimed, among other things, that the government of Senor Marroquln, the President of Colombia, was not lawful and that, therefore, the rebels, although deploring the bloody results of the war, would fight to the end for the ultimate success of the Liberal principles. General Herrera proposed that the consuls addressed ask their respective governments to declare the line of the Panama-Colombia Railroad to be a neutral ground, with which the government should not build in trenchments or the Liberals attack, and that only a police force be left to guard the line. General Herrera said he proposed, if possible, to compel the government to at tack the Liberal forces, and that the Lib el als had a strong fleet and army, provided with cannon, etc. General Herrera also declared in his note that the Liberals con sidered the capture of Panama and Colon to be absolutely necessary for the develop ment of their military plans, that they would act to obtain such results, and that in due time they would notify consuls of such proposed action, allowing twenty-four hours for foreigners to take refuge at a place of safety, to be agreed upon with the consuls, and that the point So selected would i ot be fired on. Governor ArJona said at the conference of the consuls, which he attended, that he would not recognize, even indirectly, the right of the rebels to make the pro posals they did; that the consuls could not correspond with the Liberals; that even if they were belligerents the consuls would have to have the permission of the Colom bian government to communicate with them. General ArJona then demanded that the consuls send their answers to General Herrera to him, promising to forward them to the Liberal general by messenger. To this the consuls agreed. The wife of a government soldier, who was made a prisoner by the rebels last month, and who managed to escape from General Herrera's company, arrived at Panama last night. She reports that the Liberal forces, to the number of 1,500 men, are encamped from Penonome to Chame, about seventy miles southwest of Panama, and that General Herrera and his staff are at Chame. According to this woman Gen. Herrera sent word to the government of General Castr.o to surrender. The latter answered that he had been sent out to fight and was ready to do so. The plans of the revolutionists indicate their intention to attack Panama, but then are undoubtedly awaiting reinforcements The only fighting, so far, has been between two exploring parties in the vicinity of To-i nosi, where the revolutionists landed. Llbertador Oft Curacao. WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao, Feb. 7. The Venezuelan revolutionary steamer Llbertador, formerly the Ban Righ, erro neously reported to have been sunk by a Venezuelan gunboat at Porto Colombia, was cruising off this Island last night, and wafc off the coast of Curacao at o'clock this morning. She communicated with the shore by boat, and must have steamed away shortly after 4 a. m. HOMER IX ENGLISH. Harvard Student la Doing the Iliad Into English Hexameter. Boston Journal. Harvard has added another to her long list of literary gifts to the world this time in the shape of a new translation ot Homer's "Iliad" by Albert James Lonney, a student in the Harvard Law School. The translation is in English hexameter, and the remarkable fact is that the feat was long ago pronounced impossible by Pope and Bryant, whose translations of the Iliad are found in almost every home in the land to-day. Lonney is an old Harvard man. He was graduated from the crimson In 1S97, and since that time has been teaching in the West. A thorough lover of Greek, he spe cialized in that study when he was in col lege, and after leaving Cambridge pursued his studies with as much attention and de votion as his time allowed. From his earliest days it had been his ambition to translate Homer. So two years ago when he found a few weeks of vacation leisure on his hands he started his attempt. For two months he labored, but with discour aging success. In all that time he had translated scarcely one hundred imperfect lines. Tired and sore at heart, he gave up the effort, only to renew his labor in a moment of inspiration six months later, and, fired with enthusiasm, finished the first book in less than two weeks. At the present time he has translated four of the books of the "Iliad" and is pre paring to finish the remaining twenty. At the same time he is putting himself through the law school, for he is entirely dependent on his own resources and has to hustle for his board and clothes as well as to revel with the old Greek writers. Personally Lonney is a very Interesting man. He knows Plato. Socrates and Aris totle by heart and converses about the famous figures of antiquity as familiarly as other Harvard students talk about their table friends. He studies Greek because he likes it. When he wants a little recrea tion, he says, he sits down and memorizes twenty or thirty lines of Greek. It was in this way that he translated the books he has. and in which he hopes to finish the gigantic task of the remaining twenty. Many famous literary people have already written to the young writer, subscribing to the entire edition when he will have com pleted It, and Lonney has had letters from students all over the world praising him for the feat which he has accomplished. The Modern Industrial Manager. Engineering Magazine. The time is past when the commercial man was merely a creature of circum stance, molded by his accidental surround ings. To-day, if he would obtain success, he must be educated or must educate him self, as carefully as the young engineer. Above all, if he wishes to make hlsmark In industrial life and does not care to truat to mere chance, he must have a profes sional training which Is not Inferior to that of the technical man. His Informa tion, aside from the mechanical part of his calling, will not only embrace a thor ough understanding of the tendencies of Iiis own land and foreign countries, but he will become an Industrial merchant by which name we may distinguish him from the ordinary business man and as such will devote himself to one branch of indus try, in which he will at least gain so much knowledge of the technical processes and the properties of the products as will en able him to discuss them intelligently. Tl GREAT IN MEET C. 31. SCHWAB, "KING OF THE AMER ICAN STEEL INDUSTRY, And Ivinpr Edward VII, Rnler of Many Peoples, Have a Chat In Marlborough Palace. HIS MAJESTY WAS CORDIAL AND FREELY DISCUSSED AMERICAN TRADE AND FRIENDSHIP. 3Ir. Schwnb Received by Three Men- archa Dnrlntr Ilia Trip Speech by Count Von Dnelow. LONDON, Feb. 7. Charles M. Schwab, president of the United States Steel Cor poration, and Mrs. Schwab were entertained at a, private luncheon to-day at the Man sion House by the lord mayor. Sir Joseph Dimsdale. The party included Sir Thomas Llpton, Archibald W. Maconochl, M. P., Sheriff Bell and Colonel Hunslcker, chair man of the Nickel Corporation. Mr. Schwab had half an hour's audience with King Edward at Marlborough House this afternoon. Mr. Schwab was accompa nied by Sir Thomas Lipton, who introduced him to his Majesty. The King greeted his American visitor In the most cordial man ner and chatted freely with him, mainly on the friendship between the United States and Great Britain. His Majesty es pecially referred to the close connection be tween the industries of the two countries, and the friendship existing between the worklngmen of both sides of the Atlantic. To a representative of the Associated Press Mr. Schwab said: "AU I can say is that I had a most enjoyable interview and came away with charming recollections of King Edward." It was learned that the King displayed keen Interest in and knowledge of the in dustrial conditions of the United States and evinced nothing but kindly sentiment toward the progress which American busi ness is making In Great Britain. The con versation, which was quite informal, touched on a variety of topics, throughout which his Majesty's cordiality toward Americans and their institutions was strik ingly apparent. Mr. Schwab said his European trip had been purely for pleasure, and as such had been eminently successful. During his tour of Europe Mr. Schwab was received in audience by three monarchs, and he every where noticed a palpable desire to maintain and strengthen the friendly relations with America. The Schwab party was entertained this evening by Sir nomas Llpton at a farewell dinner and afterwards went to the Empire Theater. HOLLAND'S ACTION. It Probably Was Token Without the Cognizance of Other Powers, LONDON, Feb. 7. The answering of questions by government officials in the House of Commons to-day disclosed the fact that the government had no reason to believe the note of the government of The Netherlands on the subject of peace in South Africa was formulated after consul tation with another European power. The war secretary, Mr. Brodrlck, said that the number of horses purchased dur ing the war totaled 446.0SS, of which 77.101 came from the United States and 11,364 from Canada. In addition, about 8'J,075 horses had been captured in South Africa. Views of Count Sternberg:. LONDON, Feb. 8. The Times this morn ing publishes a letter from Count Adelbert Sternberg, who fought upon the Boer side in South Africa and was captured. In the course of this letter, which deals with European Anglophobia, and declares that peace could be negotiated at once by the promise of local self government and the rebuilding and restocking of Boer farms, Sternberg says that his visit to North America taught him who is the enemy of Europe. Instead of hating England, who opens her colonies to the trade of the world, Sternberg says the continent ought to rec ognize that its true enemy is now arising in the West like a great sun of gold. Commandant Marals Captured. MATJESFONTEIN, Cape Colony, Feb. 7. Lourenz Erasmus, better known under the name of Commandant Marals, has been captured in the neighborhood of Laings burg. Marals was the leader of the Boers who operated on the Swart Kop range in 1901. SPEECH BY VON BÜELOW. He Discusses the Tariff Bill and the Emperor's Wishes. i BERLIN, Feb. 7. At a banquet to-night of the German Council of Agriculture Count Von Buelow, the imperial chancellor. In a long speech, declared that he had as- poused the cause of agriculture not merely from a feeling of duty, but with his whole heart. "A chancellor without sympathy for agriculture would be a strange fellow," said Count Von Buelow, "and he would soon trip up." He declared the alleged differences between the Emperor and him self In economic affairs to be obviously a fiction, because, while endeavoring to ad vance the interests of agriculture, he had also carried out the wishes and Intentions of the Emperor, "whose loving and wise solicitude for agriculture could always be counted upon." The Emperor completely indorsed the national economic policy, con tinued the speaker, which was aimed at benefiting to the utmoet the agricultural class without unfairly damaging the other classes of the population. The federal governments, he said, had agreed on the corn duties, which they pro posed to mark at the highest possible limit, without, on the . one hand, burdening the rest of the population, or, on the other hand, interfering with the conclusion of commercial treaties, as they had to con sider agriculture, industry and trades which must reckon upon stable, uniform and peaceful conditions. It was very doubtful, continued the chancellor, whether higher corn duties than the bill proposed would benefit agriculture in the long run, for they might provoke reaction, under the influence of which the legitimate protection of agriculture would also fall. May Exclude Preserved Meats. BERLIN, Feb. 7. The central bureau for the preparation of commercial treaties has made a strong stand against the reported Intention of the Bundesrath to exclude meats preserved in borax from Germany. The bureau affirms that such meats are not injurious to health and complains that the Imperial Health Office keep the results of its investigations secret and does not al low them to be subjected to outside scien tific criticism. "If American meats pre served in borax be prohibited," affirms the bureau. "It will be a great hardship on the poor, because meats otherwise preserved are liable to spoil during the custom-house examinations." HERR BEBEL DEFIANT. Will Not Say Who Stole Secret Memo randum on Naval BUI. BERLIN, Feb. 7. The secretary of the Admiralty, Admiral Von Tlrpitx, opened the debate in the Reichstag to-day on the na val estimates. He said the government hoped it would not have to ask for further credits to meet this year's expenditure. Referring to the secret memorandum pub lished by the Vorwaerts Jan. 29. to the ef fect that when the present shipbuilding programme expires in 1804 a new bill con taining the clauses of the bill of 1900, which was rejected by the Reichstag, would be Introduced, the secretary indignantly re pudiated the charge of deceiving the Relschstag. Herr Bebel, the Socialist leader, who fol lowed Von Tlrpitx. said It was quite evi dent the secretary had not told the Reichs tag the whole truth. If he had done so the naval bill would not have been voted. Herr Bebel asked If It was a fact that the gov ernment Intended to keep In commission on the Eat Asiatic station, for eight years to come, four battleships and a corresponding number of cruisers and gunboats. This question brought the secretary to his feet with the remark that Herr Bebel evidently knew the tenor of the portion of the stolen memorandum which was not published by the Vorwaerts, and he called on him to name the person who purloined it. Herr Bebel declined to furnish the sec retary with any information on the sub ject. Cost of German Colonies. BERLIN, Feb. 7. Herr Richter, the Radi cal leader in the Reichstag, analyzing the most recent government report concerning the colonies, finds that there are only 3.7G2 Germans in all the colonies. Including offi cials, officers, missionaries, women and chil dren. He proves from the budget of li.C2 that every German colonlet costs the em pire 6,0u0 marks a year. While the total colonial trade has Increased during the last five years from 11,000.000 marks to 23.000.oOO marks the colonial appropriations during the same length of time have increased from slightly more than 7,000,000 to 13.0u0,co0 marks. The Increase in exports to the colo nies is chiefly due to government works, military supplies, etc. The full returns from the census Of 1X show that 17,84$ citizens of the United States were then residing in Germany, an increase in five years of 2.0C0. Germany's Reply to Spain. BERLIN, Feb. 7. The Foreign Office was Informed to-day that the Associated Press had issued for publication the text of the replies of all the European courts except that of Germany, to the request of Spain for concerted action by the powers sent out March 25, 1W8, from Madrid. The cor respondent asked for the text of the Ger man answer to this request. The Foreign Office said that the answer of the German government was made orally by the Ger man ambassador at Madrid. The answer was that Germany could not take the In itiative and must await the action of the other powers. Subsequent events made a further answer unnecessary. Austrian Archduke Welcomed. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 7. The Csar and the grand dukes, attired in Austrian uniforms, together with a guard of honor, were at the railroad station to-day and cor dially welcomed Archduke Franz Ferdi nand, nephew of Emperor Francis Joseph and heir presumptive to the Austrian throne, on his arrival here. The archduke dined with the imperial family, and later the entire party attended a gala perform ance given at the Hermitage Palace. Jesuits Cannot Preach. PARIS, Feb. 7. The cardinal archbishop of Paris has decided that no Jesuit shall be permitted to preach during the lenten sea son in any church in the capital. This ac tion Is a result of the measures taken by the government to prosecute the members of the proscribed orders who violate the law of suppression of the unauthorized or ders. A number of Jesuits are already be ing prosecuted for recent violations of this law. May Stop Faith Healing. BERLIN, Feb. 7. Emperor William has intervened to stem the spread of the faith healing cult in Germany. His Majesty. has had a 'long conference with the chiefs of police for the purpose of devising means to counteract the campaign here of the Christian Science who have followers in the higher circles of Berlin society. It Is claimed that the practice of Christian Sci ence therapeutics should be made illegal in Germany. Won't Rent to Dreyfus. PARIS. Feb. 8. The Matin says that M. Dreyfus recently wanted to rent an apart ment in a house belonging to Edmond Rothschild. The agent of the house cabled to M. Rothschild, who is in Australia, on the matter. The latter's reply to this mes sage was: "I absolutely refuse to accept that tenant. Break off negotiations at any price." The Pope at a Special Mass. ROME, Feb. 7. The Tope was present at a special mass in the Sistlne Chapel to-day, the twenty-fourth anniversary of the death of Pope Pius IX. His Holiness pronounced the absolution in a clear, strong-voice. Railroad and Canal. Pittsburg Post. An English engineer. Sir W. D. Pearson, who is engaged in constructing the rail way across the isthmus of Tehuantepec, in Mexico, says that It will knock our isth mian canal into smithereens as a commer cial enterprise because it makes a line to the northern Pacific so much the cheaper. Captain Eads appreciated this, for the sort of railway he proposed to build across Tehuantepec was one that would carry ships bodily, cargoes and all. "When a vessel can load at New Orleans and, pass ing through the canal, unload at San Fran cisco, handling the freight but twice, there will be little inducement to use the rail way, which would entail the handling of the same freight six times, even though the line be very much shorter on the map.

"In my opinion the maximum of heat Is evolved by the combustion of the minimum of Gas. without any smell or undue dry ness of atmosphere. The theory of stove Is. In my opinion, perfect and the result ditto. The percentage of carbonic acid Is not sensibly raised in a closed room after ten hours' burning, and the air is not dried to an appreciable extent. I am simply de lighted with it, and am Quite In a position to recommend It for oilices, sick-rooms, etc." On exhibition and for sale by The Indianapolis Gas Co. RAILROAD TIMG CARD. P. VC.
