They sunk to the floor of the car and were roasted alive. The cooler ones in the car, seeing their danger rushed lor the windows and doors and with the aid of the pas sengers in the rear of the train and those members of the train crew who were unhurt managed to reach the op--n air. Many were injured by the rough handling they received or by 'yiug glass.

Boston, Special. Su tiering, mental and physical, from numerous acts of heroism in saving life rarely equaled in the record of tragedies of the sea attended the kws oi ihe Phoenix Line steamer British King: wh..-'i on Sun day las!, i;; a lagiii.g Aihmiie storm, foundered about loO miles south of Sable Island, and carried to death 27 members of the crew. Thirteen men were rescued from the sinking steam er by the Seyland Line steamer I5os tonian. i'rom Mauri. esir-r 'o Boston. and eleven by the German tank steam- i er Rotterdam for New York. Five others, who bad been drawn down in the votes into which the British King was engulfed, were picked up by thtt Bes.ouhpi fioin a frail bit ;' wreck age which ihc.y had grasped after a desperate struggle for life in the whirl-pool. The Bosioni.ln arrived here Wednesday and the details of the disa'sic" became known. Captain James OTIagan, of ihe British King, died, on board the Bos eoniau from the effects of terrible in jur.es 'I'.siained in 'tying to save lii sh;p; One of tlm boats of the Bosiouiai; was crushed to fragments and tha volunteer crew which manned it were thrown into the high running sea, while engaged in the work of rescue. but aii were safely landed en board the steamer. SANK IN THE DARKNESS. Volunteers from the Manheiin, af ter a heroic battle with iho waves, had taken off 31 from the British King, but after this neither of the steamers, in consequence of the in creasing gale, could make any atlempi to reach the foundered freighter. Moreover, darkness fell and ii wiy nr. utter impossibility to do else but nvait for the moonlight to guide them. In ihe daikncss ihe British King, which was then water-logged and helpless, dunged to the bottom. For tluee days her captain and crew, working under unconquerable odds, had tried to present, or at least postpone, their ships destruction. Bar rels of oil and wreckage forming in to a powerful ram. were driven down upon her sides with crnshiug force, opening up the vessel's plates and al lowing the water to pour into her holds. The extent of the leak was not un dfrstocl until the following day, how ever, a.:d then, although all hands were placed at the pumps, the water gained considerably. The fires had b-ui extinguished and the engines ren dered useless by the rising water. The only remedy at hand lay in repairing ihe damaged section, and while per sonally superintending the woi'K, Cap tain OTIagan sustained a fractured "eg and internal injuries. Although ! was unable to stand, he continued to oirect the efforts of his crew. At the end of the three days, when all hands had labored ceaselessly without ijst and with little food, the Bos tonian and Manheim were sighted, and to these Captain O'Hagari displayed the signal for assistance. Both the BostoiiiiUi and Manheim stood by the scene of the wreck until Monday morning but no bodies were recovered.

WITH THE LAWMAKERS What is Eeins Done Day by Day By the National House and Senate. Tiiiman Reports Bite Bill. 'ihe Sn.a! fontinued consideration of the railroad question by listening to the reading of a report on the House bill by Mr: Tillman and to a speech oii tiiitt mcamue by Mr. Nel son. Mr. Tillman's report Aas read at the request of Mr. Aldrich, who said that he was curious to hear the opin ion of the Souiii Carolina Senator. Brief rdieniion was given to the message of I he PresidMit trHnmiiiiug ihe letter to the Secretary of Wai relative to tin- recent M.,ro baule Mr. Bacon spoke of the killing of the Moros as slaughter"-' and Mr. Lodge deprecated criticism until the facts should be known The House iedution giving ihe in-ter-Sciie commerc;- Coinmisslon au thority .. administer oaths ju con nection villi it s investigation of char ges of discrimination made against railroads was adopted without resort ing i ) the formality of requiring its reference to committee. Mr. Stone's resolution directing an inquiry into the Posto'uk-e Department rulings on ihe admission of college publications to the mails as second class matter al so was adopted. A large number of private pension hills and some other semi-private bills were passed, MR. TILLMAN'S REPORT. The report of Mr. Tillman embodied ilie first clear arid concise statement the differences concerning court re view features and other proposed .iiiendmciits that had. made a tniani nous report from the committee im-, "ossible. Without hesitancy, the Senator de lartd it to lie his belief that the bill kould be amended, but that amend- ce"!s should not be of a character to 'a; air or prevent the accomplishment f tiie objects of the legislation, which re sei forth best, he says, in the 'resident "s message to Congress. He mpkasized the need of regarding the .Measure as non-pa riisian, but prediet- that the issue created will be para uount in tiie next presidential elee i'Ui. Mr. Tiiiman prefaced his report by -'peaking of the peculiar circumstan rs ruling the committee's actions on he House bill, which made it an em nrrr.ssing task to submit views that vould be oihiciu'kJ in ).. the com mittee as a whole. AN UNPRECEDENTED SITUA TION. ''Instead of being amended in com mrtiee as is usual," (he report said . 'so as to command its a whole the udorseuient and support of a majori ty of its members, the bill was brought into the Senate in a form not entirely satisfactory lo more than two mem oers. '"This lack of harmony among ihe supporters of the bill it would be speaking with more accuracy to say the supporters of the policy involved in the bill brings about the anomal ous situation m which a member of the minority party in Congress is put in charge in the Senate of proposed legislation wnieh is generally regarded throughout the country as the cherish ed scheme of the President, with whose general policy and principles that member is not in eccord. Al the same time the bill is designated to cany into effect his own long eherished convictions end the thrice reiterated demands of the party to which lie belongs.' Emphasizing the claim that this condition is without precedent in leg islative history, Mr. Tillman says it brings into prominence ihe fact that the legislation is non-partisan and is so reeognizezd as a result of the un animous support 'given it by the mi nority in the House and the few op posing only- seven in that entire hod v. PUBLIC DEMAND PASSIONATE. There would follow a "cyclone of lassiouate resentment," said Mr. Ti II p.an, in predicting what would be the result of failure on the part of Con :ress to meet the widespread demand for railroad rale legislation. He de iaied that "woe will be the har vest'" of any member cf the Senate r House whose work in formulating i bill to regulate railroads lacks earn stness or honesty of purpose and who 'all seek to belittle the question or kill the bill by subterfuge and deeep lum. The eonstitiution give? to Con gress the power to regulate the rail roads, he contended and there are many wrongs to right. The bill as it comes from the House Mr. Tillman characterized as loosely -voided and capable of different in terpretations. "Massacre of Mt. Dajo." The additoual power which Presi dent Roosevelt slighted should be ;iven the inler-Ghite commerce com ixission in making Urn special invr-sti-iatioa into the coat e.nl oil Lid u try .is related to transportation was giv ii by the If case in the pas&igi of the !V.vnsend resolution on that subject. The bession, which was ended at J o'clock so that the Republican caucus might be held, was devoted to gener al debute on the legislative bill. Severe criticism of the recent bat tle in the Philippines was made by Mr. Jones of Virginia, who declared that the killing of women and children was a disgrace to the nation. Mr. Williams, the minority leader, faceti ously instructed" the Republicans on their causcus, and Mr. Keifer, of Ohio, delivered a speech in favor of reducing Southern representation in Congress. JUDGE HAMILTON BITTER Ereaking Silence at Last, Legislative Agent For the Big Insurance Coin ptuiies Appears Unexpectedly Be fore Investigating Committee and Pours a Fioofl of DcimnriatiPH Upon Officials "Wnd Drove MeCaU iii His Grave.'' Albany, 5f. Y.y Special. Andrew Hamilton appeared before the insur ance investigating' committee and the silence which lie has maintained, except for his statement brought from Paris by John (.'. McCall, ever since his name was first mentioned in the investigation in connection with the yreat sums of money shown to have been paid him during the past 10 years on account of his legal and legislative; 1tork for the New York Life and other irisuraiice -o)!?ptnies. It would be difficult io exaggerate the sensation and by the speech which he made or the intensely dramatic character of the whole episode. His face was Hushed and his voice tremb ling with passion, his arms upraised and his lists clenched. Judge Ham ilton poured forth a flood of denun ciation and invective Ujion the mem bers of the board of trustees of the New York Life Insurance Company, several of whom were present desig nating them "curs and traitors," and paying special attention to one un named, whom be described as "'the Pecksniff of three administration, the confidant of the Beers scandal and author of tiie Beers position who ro tates through one administration and another, and thinks that he is going to be an indispensable member of yet another." RETORTS "YELLOW DOG." "And do you think, " be demanded, "that the man who held the same re lation to Mi-; Beers thai I did to Mr. McCall could sit fov l'i years since, and not know how ihe expenditures that were made v. ere to be, and were, disbursed ? Yet he and such like him sit, not judging me as peers, but judging me as conquerors, talking about "yellow dogs.' " Judge Hamilton's attack vxm the trustees of the New York Life was made the more drawati-i by the fnct that he immediately followed J. II. Mcintosh, general solicitor of that company, who had been eulogizing the members of that board and challeng ing any man to give reasons why they should be removed from office as con templated by the pending legislation. The only name he mentioned" was thai of the late President McCall, in the reference to Whom and to whose death he displayed marked emotion. He spoke of Mi-. McCall as a victim, as having been shouldered with the blame " the only ou? the dead man, killed, that they drove to his grave, mid deserted," and declared that the memory of this man had appealed to him 'to c-.tme down here and say something for him and just a word for myself." Judge Hamilton after stating that he would confine his remarks entirely to the New York Life Insurance Com pany, said lie bad high and loyal re speck for the other companies because "I have not yet found amongst them curs and traitors' - Continuing he said : "1 address you upon and in advo cacy of one bill solely, which I have not read, but the purport of which ap pears in the papers and I say that it is your duty to report in favor of the measure that will remove the trustees of the New York Life Insurance Company upon November 21 next, ar bitrarily. "I look around this court and I see here many members of that board oi trustees. I see amongst them men who have set and listened to the stories of my victories in their behalf, and applauded, and I wonder whether it was like that line in Goldsmith, wheth er ii was 'counterfeited glee,' or whether the attitude that they have since taken has been one of counter feited honesty. SHOULD BE OUSTED FROM COM PANY. If, hs said, the board did no: ap prove his voucher?, "ihtm the failed to perform their duty. And the rea son I e-sme forward now is not to say, or not to apologise for these vouchers, but to say this, that these .men with their responsibilities upon their shoulders and upon mine, they have something1 to account for. "They may talk about the 'yellow dog',' but the 'yellow dog' is a do of courage and of loyalty, but the curs who stood around this funeral that has occurred, and the curs who know of these transactions and shrink into their shoes they are the eurs and that is thn reason that J come to speak before you and say that the $v&t interest of two billions of dollars of life insurance and four hundred i$iu lions of dollai'3 of assets can never be safely entrusted to the hands and administration of a lot of cms." Seymour Barringtoa Hanged. St. Louis, Mo., Speeiol. Seymour Barrington, the bogus "Lord," was executed by hanging at the Clayton jail for the murder of James P. Mc Canu two years ago.
