He became the intimate associate of Claus Spreck els and J. H. Blount and his correspond ence was bitter against the Provisional Government. At one time the Govern ment thought of prosecuting him, but Colonel Blount intervened.

TRAINMEN BURN MEXICAN'S BODY CHICAGO, July 17. A special to the Tribune from El Paso, Texas, says: An American train crew on the Mexi can Central railroad has just reached this city, having fled the republic to the north, In consequence of accidentally running over and killing a Mexican and throwing his body in the firebox of the locomotive, in hopes of concealing his death. The accident happened below Torren. Mexico. A freight in an isolated spo' ran over a peon, killing the man Instant y. In Mexico the death of a subjec by a train is as much a crime as mur Icr. Knowing this the crew, to concea he accident, threw the body in th Ire box. A few days later the relatives of th lead man began inquiry as to his when bouts. Someone had seen trm at a cet aln point and one Mcx'i tan from a di ance saw the train stop. The nembe f the crew were questioned and fea ig the truth would come out they r igned their positions and fled to V 'nited States. John A. H!nsey. who resided from ti :ndowment Rank K. of P.

"I have been with Generals Botha and Dewet. both splendid strategists, and men who have the liberties of their country and people at heart. They are in the field to harass the British to the bitter end. They will cause England to continue the war and pile up the enor mous expenses to maintain it. until they have worried them to a point where they believe they can obtain terms more to their liking than those now proposed. "Generals Botha and Dewet are rip ping up the lines of railroads all around the British, cutting off garrisons here and there, and capturing trains of sup plies. As for President Krueger. he was too old and feeble to take the field with the younger and more energetic men of the Republic, and they allowed him to retire at a much reduced salary. The Generals are free to conduct their campaigns as they see fit and are able to maintain their men in the field from the supplies taken from the British.

Reports re ceived from all sources connected with the strike of the steel workers today indicate that the members of the Amal gamated Association have matters well in hand and that the strike order was generally obeyed. Telegrams from va rious points where the mills of the American Tin Plate Company, the American Steel Hoop Company and the American Sheet Steel Company are lo cated tell of the shutting down of these plants in large numbers. In many cases the plants had been shut down by the first strike order, which afEected the 3heet steel and the steel hoop compa nies only. The last order brought out all union plants of the American Tin Plate Company, with the single excep tion of the new mill in Monessen, which Is still running. At the Amalgamated Association headquarters it is stated that the figures given out Saturday night regarding the number of men who would be actually idle In the mills of the three companies have proved cor rect. This number was placed at 74,000. SENATE DOES FASJiWORK Unpaid Claims Bill Passes Second Reading. The Senate yesterday passed the Brown bill to provide for the payment of unsettled claims, on the second read ing, ordered it to third reading this morning and adjourned to meet at 9:15 o'clock today. This early hour yvas set for the purpose of getting the business of the Senate complete before the hour for the meeting of the House. There were three amendments to the bill which carry sums for various purposes, but with those exceptions the bill is as it was introduced, there oeing, in the opinion of the Senators, no reason for the consumption of time in the refer ring of the measure to a committee. That the House will pass the bill seems probable. Representative Emme Iuth said yesterday afternoon that he thought this would be done at the ses sion today. He said he had conversa tions with several members of the House and they had given him to un derstand that they would vote for the bill when it comes from the Upper House. Others of the Independents are of the same opinion, so that there seems every reason to expect that conclusion .to be reached by the Representatives. Unless this is done the complications which have marked the last week .yvill continue for some days at least. Beside the message which will convey to the Lower House the information that the upper bo'dy has put through the Brown act, there will be a second message submitted. This was jprovided on motion of Senator Brown yesterday, before the consideration of the bill on second reading was taken up. The clerk of the Senate was directed to in form the House, in reply to its message, that the Senate would be ready to ad journ sine die upon the passage through the House of the bill for unpaid claims. This was understood by the members of the body to be meant, not as a threat that the Senate would try to force the unpaid claims bill, but that it would not attempt to make the House stay until the passage of the bill for the use of any loans which may become available during the biennial period, which will end with June 30, 1903, but is ready to quit work with the end of the week. There was little time lost in the Sen ate. The decision to send a message to the House had been reached when the reading of the bill for the second time was undertaken. During the items for roads Senator Brown had inserted an amendment providing for the payment to the Hakalau Plantation Company of $5.65. When the Treasury items were reached. Senator Carter arose and of fered the item of $1,929.38, to cover the payment of license and stamps by the Hawaiian Fertilizer Company. Mr. Car ter said that the amount had been im properly collected by Treasurer Lan sing, and that a committee of the Sen ate had inserted It In the Appropriation bill, but in the conference there had been put into the bill none of the items which did not appear in the House bill in some form, so that this was over looked. He thought there could be no question as to the justice of the claim and hoped it would be put in. The j amendment passed by a unanimous ' vote. Later Senator Achi offered an amendment which sets apart $10,000 for the use of the Department of Public Works in the payment of such bills as have not been presented as yet. There was some discussion over this item, and several men gave . notice that there .would be no further amendments per mitted. The total of the bill is now $84,216.27. j After the passage of these amend ments the bill went through on the second reading and was ordered to third reading tomorrow. The hour for convening was made 9:15 o'clock, and the Senate thereupon adjourned. The Pacific Cttble. LONDON, July 15. In the House of CommoM today the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, detailing the progress of he Pacific cable, said that several sec ional cable houses already had been con structed and sent out and were being rected at the various places.
