New Yonx, Sept. 23. -Tho Sun, Sun
day morning, published a six-column
special dispatch from Troy, embodying
the nworn confessions of throo of the
men arrested on tho charge of
wrecking . the Montreal express on
the New York Central railroad,
mar CVtleton, on Sept. 4. Theso
men. Cain, Baett and Heed, relate cir
cumstantially tho story of their placing
tho obstructions upon the track, and
implicate tho other two men in custody,
Cordial and Kiernan.
All of the men were prominent strik
ers and Knights of Labor. Cain and
Buott, were arrested in Prescott, Out.,
where they had fled, and state that tho
money with which they were onablo 1
to reach that place was furnished to
them for that purposo by Master Work
man Lee, of District Assembly No. 240.

Albany, Sept. 23. Master Workman
E. .1. Lee, of District Assembly
No. 2-1(1, denies the charge of
having aided Cain or Buott with
funds to escape. He also denies
having any personal acquaintance with
either of tho above-named parties. Ho
denounces his connection with the
crime as charged in the published state
ments as being utterly false.
WILL HELP TO PROSECUTE.

Piiu.adki.piiia, Sept. 23. General
Master Workman Powderly, of the
Knights of Labor, left this city Hun
day before a Press reporter could get a
talk with him about the confession oi
tho three Knights of Labor, implicating
Master Workman Lo, of District As
sembly No. 240, in the wreck on the New
York Central railroad. In his absence
Mr. Wright, of tho general executive
board, spoke for the general olll "crs of
th" order, He said:
"Until these confessions were pub
lished we believed that Herd, Cordial,
Cain, Huett and Kioman were innocent
of the charges preferred against them.
Wo intended to defend them, but since
they swear that they took part in the
wrecking of the trains, wo will make
thorough investigation and lend every
assistance to tho authorities to bring
the guilty party to justice.
"The order of tho Knights of Lafr
does not recognize that sort of warfare),
nor does it tolerate within their rank
men wlio will resort to it, I cannot !
lievo that Master Workman Lee had
any knowledge of tho guilt of these
men. Their claim that ho gave them
money to loave the country with I do not
credit.
"1 know that Lee had very litdo money
and that tho money that was given th"
executive committee of the district, did
not pass through his hands. The fu st
instalment that was given the district,
was some days after tho wreck and it
was a verv small amount. It was given
by General Secretary Hayes to the dis
trict treasurer. That was to meet the
immediate wants of some of our mem
bers who are in distress, and we have
vouchers that it was used for that pur
pose. "It was some time after that that Mr.
Hayes gave a mui'h larger sum to the
treasurer of the district for distribution.
None of this money, as 1 said, pat sod
through Lee's hands, and, ns he is not
possessed of much wealth himself, I fee)
unite sure that he did not furnish any
money to tho men to escape. I have
thought that perhapi theso men had
drawn the names of officials into this
matter in the hope of discrediting the
order. If that is their idea they will
not succeed. The order will live, and
the general officers will come out of this
with clean skirts."
CANADA AND THE M'KINLEY BILL.
First OllicllU Ctteriuiees View of the
Minister of Fiiismce.
Montreal, Sept. ?3. The first public
official utterances regarding Canada's
attitude toward the McKinley tariff bill
wero delivered on Saturday at the
monster political picnic, at Shirbrook,
by Minister f Finance Foster, who said
he had regretted that the United Mates
would not arrange some fairer measure
of reciprocal trade than wo now had but
if the McKinley bill was to bo th" policy
of the United States, it only remained
for Canada to depend upon herself, de
velop her own resources and seek other
markets than those of the United States
for goods forcibly diverted from that
country by the provisions of the McKin
ley bill. "A gieat deal of this trade
would go to Great Britain.
He was also prepared to say that n
very hupo and profitable market stood
open in the West Indies for the pr ducts
of Canada, the very products against
which the heightened tariff has been
placd by the United States. Then
there w:vs range for developing our
trade in China. Japan and Australia.
The burden of M. Fester's speech was
that Canada need iH fear the M Kin
ley bill, and that if the United States
markets were closed to her she could
find others.

NATURAL GAS SUPPLY.
View of Profeamir Phillip, of t lie West
m University, Allegheny.
Pittseit.o, Sept. 28. Professor F. C.
Phillips, of the Western University,
Allegneny, has been experimenting on
natural gas for about a year. As a par
tial result of his experiments he says:
"Analysis of samples of gas from all
parts of country shows that it originate
at tne same place, or under similar con
ditions. T hero is no doubt that it is a
stored product,' and gas struck in the
state of Indiana and at Fredouia, N. Y.,
comes from the. great liuie.stnne strata.
There is every probability, therefore,
that underneath tho reservoir now
tapped ia Pennsylvania lies another big
supply which is certainly ncc.-ssible.
Considering all things, it is very likely
thit there is plenty of gas in the various
strata which ns yet have been unex
plored by the drill."

I THE tUGAR TARIFF.
l'rotent of Henry Brown, the Hn-Trcatmry
Kxpert, Against the Fioporird Rrheilulr
Wasiiinoton. Sept. 20. Henry Brown,
tho ni t Kl ex-tro:tt.ury de;artment sugar
exjiert, has esnt the following letter,
embodying a vigorous protest against
tho sugar tariff schedule, to Senator
Aldrich and the tariff bill conferees:
Saxoxvii.I.k, Mrbs., Sept. lit, 1K).
Hon. N. H. Aldrich, and Members of
the Tariff Conference Committee, in
Congress.
Tha provisions of tho sugar schedule of
the tariif bill, rs the bill came from the
house, and as it now stands with senate
amendments, Is a complete surrender of
the people's interests to foreign producore
and sugar refiners, and is already boasted
of as such by them. The rem jdy is in
your hands.
Admitting nil sugars not alxivu Xo. 1(1,
or net ah ;vo No. 13, Dutch standard in
color, fnv of duty without restrictions,
again opens tlio door to coloration frauds,
which wero scotched, not killed, by tht
bill of March, 1SKI, after six years of con
stant fighting by this writer. It is not n
question, but a certainty, that all sngart
not above No. 1(1, Dutch standard, will lx
imported for refiners, anil if the line if
No. 13. Dutch standard, all foreign sug.u
producers will color their sugars to evadt
the duty. Only bastard yellow sugars, il
any, are likely lo come in refined below
No. TO, Dutch standard, and evui thost
cannot compete with tho high grade cen
trifugals that will come in frca of duty tc
refiners, who can then produce yellow ro
fined and undersell foreign refined yel
lows. There will bo no sugars imported
that aro not below Nos, Id or 13, Dutch
standard, iu color, as under the new
s.dio.luln the old coloration frauds will I
renewed in full force, na 1 ba protected by
law.
There should be a proviso something at
follows: Provided, that, .ill sugars not
above Nos. Hi and 1(1 (whichever lino b
adopted), Dutch standard in color, testiii"
above 10 degrees in tho polarisuope, shall
'pay a duty of three-tenths of a ceat pi
pound and two-hnndredths of a cent pel
pound a.ldil imial for every degree or frac
tion of a decree above 80 dearies.
P.y some such proviso the government
can maintain control over importations ol
sugar, and protect the interests of tin
people. Without, some such proviso tin
bounty plan will prove a farce, and con
sumers wilt be nt the mercy of foreign
producers mid refiners of sugar.
The proviso will also afford some protec
tion to tho molasses boilers. The 1 inn
for disposing of the lS'.KWd crop of domes
tic sugar beloro the bill goes into effect
should be extended to May 1, 1SH, in
justice to producers of sugars in thb
country, who are ent iled to tlio protection
?fthe present tariif to that extent at
'?ant.

son. 111., and it was this train which,
while "blocked" in the outskirts of th'.
city, and w liti.ig to b released, was
crashed into by the Chicago, Burling
ton and tnincy suburban. Engineer
Dickro i, of the Burliegtoa train, claims
that the red lights of tho Illinois Cen
tral truin weie burning so dimly as to
afford him no warning of its iiresence.
Other reports have it that tho'Burling
ton train was behind time, and was
running at a re 'kless rate.
A Te. rin .i Shuck.
Engineer Dickson s.iy s th.it as quickly
as jiossihle lie rovers d' his engine mill
applied the airbrake, but the momentum
of tho heavy train was too great, and
they struck tho excursion train with
great violence. The rear cur was lifted
from the t: nek and forced through the
next car ahead, which in turn was
forco.l into the third car from the rear.
The Chicago, Burlington ar d (jnincy
engine lost her pilot, headlight and
smokestack, and her front ho.nl was
stove in. while her tender was forced
npi'Riinst tho Isiilor heal. Neither
Engineer Dickson nor his fireman was
injured. They jumped off when it an
lieiiied inevitable that tho train could
not lie stopped.
A Kcene of tv'lhi KxeUemi'itt
Instantly there was tho wildest con
fusion. The excursion train consisted
of fifteen cars, everyone filled with
people. The express train consist xl of
au engine, baggage car and nix pas
senger coai lies, wiih alKmt 100 pooplo
on board. The nni.ijured on the ex
cursion and all the people of the express
train, none of whom wore Injured,
made a wild bieak for the doors, and
alighted on either side of the two trains.
Many frightened pas ;engers ran from
the scene of the collision, apparently
under the impression that their only
safety lay in flight. Many went limp
ing off, iudicaiing that many more
were injured than those mentioned
above. The greater n:auii y, however,
immediately gathered around the wreck
and g ive their assistance to those pin
ioned beneath the telescoped cars nnd
those whose injuries wero so serious
tlmt they could not help themselves.
Conductor Cariington, Engineer
Dickson and a broken. in of the Uliuoi-i
Central train were arrested, but no
statement could Iks obtained from them
further than tho arsortion of Engineer
Dickson that he saw no red lights until
he was upon the oxcursion train.
There is much conflicting testimony
rs to which railroad is t j blame for th"
accident, and it is a question which tho
coroner will be called upon to decide.
