Peoria. 111., Special.?Thirty-one meD were killed, and at least 15 injured, in c head-end collision between a fro girt train and a work train on the Big Four Railroad between Mackinaw and Tiejnont Thursday afternoon. Bodies of 26 of the victims have been taken from the wreck, which i3 piled 30 feet high nr> Pivp hnrtipR vet remain buried under the huge pile of broken j timber, twisted and distorted iron and steel. On a bank at the side of Jhe track lie the bodies of the victims, cut. bruised and mangled in a horrible manner. So far only 12 have been identified, the remaining bodies being unrecognizable, even by those who knew them, and are aware of the fact that they are among the dead. All the dead and most of the injured were members of the work train, the crews on both engines jumping in time to save their lives. The collision occurred in a deep cut at the beginnig of a sharp curve, neither train being visible to the crew of the other unt.l they were within 50 feet of each other. The engineers set the brakes, sounded the whistles and then leaped from their cabs, the two trains striking with such force that the sound was heard for sev eral miles. A second after the collision the boiler of the work train engine exploded, throwing heavy iron bars and splinters of wood 200 feet. Federation of L' bor. Boston, Special.?The American Federation of Labor disposed summarily of the "open shop" issue as raised in the case of William A. Miller, now employed in the Government Printing Office at Washington, and the Miller case itself, by unanimously declaring in favor of the union shop in government, as well as private, enterprises, and by petitioning President Roosevelt to re. examine the evidence offered against Miller, and if verified, remove Miller from the service. Although the resolution adopted presented the Federation's views on both "open shop" and the Miller case, the issues are kept entirely distinct. The re-examination of the Miller case is not requested becas?? Miller is ^ non-unionist, a clr curnstance formely urged as a reason for bis removal, but because tlje Federation believes Miller "is totally unfit to be in charge of working people." The Miller resolutions declare that "Miller has been proved in affidavit and court recodrs to be a bigamist, per. Jurer, defaulter and one totally unfit to be in charge of working people." That he has violated civil service rules and the revised statues, all of which demand dismissal, and that his retention in government employ is a menace "tc production of creditable work because of dissatisfaction with his methods as foreman," Three Killed i y Explosion.

I The Cuban Bill in the House?Goes to the Senate. Cuban Bill P.'.ss-u in tha House. The House Thursday, by a rising vote of 335 to 21, passed the bill to make effective the Cuban reciprocity treaty. The dissenting votes were about equally divided between Republicans and Democrats, but there was no record vote, the minority having too few votes to order the yeas and nays. The Democrats, under the lead. ership of Mr. Williams, sought to the last to secure amendments to the bill , In accordance with the action of the , Democratic caucus, but were defeated , steadily. Mr. Williams made the final effort when he tried to have the bill recommitted to the ways and means committee with instructions to amend, but a . - ,1 ~ - 4-U * nnAAiol ?M*1A (JUlUb U1 Ul UC1 UUUCi LUC SlKLUi I ui?, provinding for a vote on the bill without any Intervening motion, was sus. tained. Mr. Cannon received the applause of , the Democratic side when he entertained the appeal from his ruling, made i h> Mr. Williams, the Speaker say.ng , he preferred to err, if ho erred at a.l ta giving the House the right to expiess its will. The appeal was tabled i bj a strict party vote. I:i h S.-nfte, The Senate held its longest sitting i of the session Friday, beginning at ' noon and concluding at 3:15 p. m. The entire time was consumed in debating a motion to defer the Cuban recii procity bill to the committee on fori eign relations. The political line was I sharply drawn in the discussion, the Republicans advocating such rofer, ence, and the Democrats contending that the measure should go to the com' mlttee on finance. The motion prevailed with out division. The debate served to bring out some incidental references to the merits of the bill and while It was in progress Mr. Teller took occasion to correct published reports that ht has hope of defeating the bill or that he intends to unduly obstruct its consideration. Messrs. Allison and Aldrich anI nrlllinoTinoe fn haVfi t Vl P UUUUV.CU kUCll nilliuguvuo vv w bill go to the foreign relations comi mittee. But they united in an expression of opinion that such reference should form no precedent for the reference cf revenue bill3 in the future. Mr. Allison denied that there was a purpose of revising the tarfT by reciprocity treaties. Messrs. Bacon, of Georgia; Bailey, of Texas, and Money, of Mississippi, on the Democratic side, advocated the . reference of the bill to the committee , on finance. Mr. Bailey said that there wa3 quite ' a probability of all tariff legislation being accomplished by reciprocity trea> ties and It became important that the f finance committee should control the pending bill. Mr. Bacon said this was not an isolated case and for that reason was important It was a question, he said, [ that would largely relate to the -u, ture action of Congress. Mr. Bacon said that as a member of the Committee on foreign relations he had been the author of the provision requiring the "approval of Congress'' on the treaty, but he 3aid he had not believed the language to be correctly used. On tho contrary, he considered it quite absurd to suppose that Congress could approve a treaty. G?rman Steamers Not Stopped.
