Detrlot, Nov. 27.—One of the most
disastrous wrecks in the history of the
Wabash Railroad, or any other Michl
enn road, occurred at Seneca, Mich., a
small way station about seventy miles
southwest, of Detroit, between 7 and
7:30 o’clock to-night.
Train No. 13, an emigrant train, with
two engines, west bound, collided, un
der a full head of steam with train
No. 4, east bound, about one mile from
Seneca. The result was that five or six
maches on the emigrant train were
i tushed and Its load of human freight
sent into eternity in a moment, while
one coach on train No. 3, which con
sisted of a parlor car, diner and a bag
gage car, was also telescoped and four
dead bodies have been taken from the
ruins.
It is not known how many people
there were on the emigrant train, but
the number of dead and injured will be
anywhere from sixty to one hundred
and fifty.
The people on that train were caught
like rats in a trap and crushed. Then
the wreck caught tire and those who
were not instantly killed, were slowly
roasted to death and none of the few
spectators who hastily, gathered from
the farm houses near by were able to
afford aid. The whole emigrant train
was soon consumed by the flames and
every person on that train, it is re
ported now, was killed.
Farmers residing along the track
rushed in on the blazing mass to res
cue tho>e whom they thought might
be alive. The bodies hauled out of the
wreck were taken to nearby fame
Ironses, which are filled with dbad. A
large number of injured were taken to
a hospital at Peru.
Along the track long lines of burned
bodies lie covered with blankets, pre
senting a gruesome sight. It may be
possible (hat the exact number of
killed or who they are will never be
known. At present it is impossible to
get anything! resembling a list of in
jured or dead from Seneca.
ORDERS WERE NOT OBEYED.

Detroit, Nov. 27. —The track in the
\ ictnity of the wreck is strewn with

bad orders to wait tor No. 13 at Seneca.
The blame is therefore placed on the
1 onductor or engineer of No. 4. Had
tills train been held at Seneca the ac
cident would not have occurred. The
train No. 4 was due at Seneca at 6:43,
according to the change in schedule,
but apparently orders to wait were
disobeyed, and the probabilities are
that the true story of why will never
h ‘’ told, as the train crews undoubtedly
met instant death.
Advices from the wreck at midnight
state that the country for tniles around
is lighted up by the burning cars, and
that the flames could not be quenched
•'Clause of lack of proper apparatus.
Mangled bodies were picked up along
tlie track by the farmers before the
special train sent from Adrian arrived
n the scene. In some instances the
bodies were mangled beyond all recog
nition. The bodies which the rescuers
managed to pull from the burning ruins

burned that their Identity will probably

Montpelier to the scene of the wreck.
A special train from Detroit carrying
thirty-two physicians and surgeons
started for Seneca and was given the
right of way. When it reached the
scene of the wreck the work was at
once commenced to relieve the wound
ed. A special from Adrian bearing all
the doctors and physicians in the city
had been at work for an hour, but the
flames retarded the work of rescue. The
wounded had been placed on stretchers
in the coaches sent from Adrian.
At 10:45 o’clock the first train load
ed • with wounded, left the scene of
the wreck for Adrian. The dead were
left behind, to be carried in on a later
train.
When the special train bearing the
wounded reached Adrian, the injured
were carried in ambulances, drays anfl
delivery wagons to the hospitals until
they were filled, when private resi
dences in the neighborhood were
placed in service.
Only One Name Known.
Amiong the great list of dead, only
one name is known here at present.
This is Miss Dido Dentzed of Tupper
ville, Ont. She was alive when res
cuers reached her and with her ex
piring breath said: “Notify William
Moore." That was all.
A special to the Tribune from Ad
rian gives the following Detroit per
sons as among the injured:
George Sweeney, F. B. Richardson,
express messenger on No. 13. head cut
and bot.t. legs mangled: Mary Dolman,
injuries slight: H. B. Whitney, an On
tario railroad dispatcher, seriously in
jured.
The responsibility for the accident is
now laid on the crew of No. 4. It i3
said that this train passed its meeting
order with the regular west bound
train. No. 13. The trains were to have
met at Seneca, but No. 4 ran by and
struck the west bound train a mils
east. At this hour, owing to imperfect
facilities for getting news, it does not
seem likely that a complete list of the
dead and Injured, or any of the details
of the wreck will be at hand before to
morrow morning. It is estimated that
upwards of 500 persons were on the
two trains.
BRITAIN IS VERY FRIENDLY.
Marquis of Lansdowne Make*
Friendly Reference to President
and Secretary of State.
London, Nov. 28. —The Marquis of
Lansdowne, Secretary of State for For
eign Affairs, speaking at Darlington
last night, referred to the extraordin
ary keenness of the competition for
the world’s markets as affording the
greatest preoccupation in questions of
foreign policy. Referring to the nego
tiations with the United States, Lord
Landsdowne said:
“We desire to maintain the most cor
dial relations with the United States,”
and he said he was sure that tbs re*
cent expressions of Secretary of State
Hay in Niw Y6rk were reciprocated on
hi* side of the water.
"Like our brothers across the ocean,”
said Lord Lansdowne, “we regard the
distinguished man who lias succeeded
to the presifieney of the United States
with the friendliest predispositions."
With reference to the isthmian canal
negotiations, the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs expressed himself as
happy to be able to say that anew
chapter liad been opened. Both govern
ments were at this moment engaged In
fresh negotiations concerning which
he could only say the omens seemed
propitious.
“Throughout the negotiations.” con
tinued the speaker, “the question has
been discussed from both sides in no
narrow or one-sided spirit, but with a
genuine desire pn our part that this
great enterprise should be conducted to
a successful end. that the principle of
the neutrality of the canal, for which
we have contended, should be main
tained; that the canal should be open
and free to the commerce of the whole
world, and that these objects should
be achieved under conditions honorable
and convenient to both sides, alike.”
Lord Lansdowne made hopeful refer
ence to the Smith African war. He
protested against the misrepresenta
tions of the pro-Boers and said the in
calculable mischief arising therefrom,
found a striking illustration in the ex
citement produced in the continental
press by the speech of Mr. Chamber
lain. at Edinburgh, and in which he,
Lord Lansdowne. found no suggestion
of offense.

City of Mexico, Nov. 27.—The ban
quet given to-night at the Chapulte
pec Restaurant by the United States
delegation to the Pan-American Con
ference-in honor of their colleagues of
Mexico and the other republics of
America, was a great success. In ad
dition to the delegates from Mexico and
Central and South America, Untied
States Ambassador Clayton was pres
ent and also several prominent men
of Mexico's official world, including
Ignacio Mariscal, Minister of Foreign
Relations; Gen. Manuel Gonzales Co
sio, Minister of the Interior; Jose Ives
Limantour, Minister of Finance; Le
andro Fernandez, Minister of Fomento;
Eduardo Castandena, Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court; Gen. Mucio P.
Martinez, Governor of the state of
Puebla; Col. Miguel Ahumada, Govern
or of state of Chihuahua; Hon. Ra
mon Corral, Governor of the federal
districts, and Guillermo de Landa y de-
Escandon, Mayor of the city.
Ex-Senator H. G. Davis, chairman of
the United States delegation, proposed
a toast to President Diaz in the fol
lowing terms:
“On behalf of the delegates of the
United States and its seventy-five or
eighty millions of free, loyal, happy,
liberty-loving people, I extend to the
delegates of the second Pan-American
Conference and to the people of all the
American republics, friendly greeting
and good will.
“You will find the delegates from the
United States ready and willing to aid
In all that tends to promote political
and commercial prosperity of the re
publics. We beg you to join us in
helping to maintain peace, which is
the true and sure road to wealth, pros
perity, happiness and liberty.
“I am a firm believer In the govern
ment of the people, for the people and
by the people, and tn what our Declar
ation of Independence . declares, .viz.,
•that all men are created equal; that
tbev are endowed by their Creator with
certain inalienable rights; that among
these are life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness.’ Upon this and other
declarations the United States of
America declared their independence of
Great Britain. Upon the foundations
that man has a right to govern him
self this great, free and independent
uation has grown up in a century and
a quarter as a monument to liberty
and the right of self-government.
“Turn to Central and South America
and you will find In comparatively few
years that more progress has been
made than in the three or four hun
dred years under monarchical rule.
Mexico is a good example of what has
been accomplished under free and in
dependent government. The people are
happy, contented and prosperous. There
has been more progress in Mexico in
twenty years than all the time before.
“I feel sure great good will result
from this Pan-American conference; it
will show to the crowned beads of Eu
rope and the world that the free, lib
erty-loving people of America, streak
ing different languages, can harmon
ize and work to the end that all may
be happy, prosperous and contented.
Bouquets to Mexico.
"To Mexico I must say a few words.
Since we. the delegates, crossed the
Rio Grande on our way here we have
received unbounded hospitality and
much more attention than our most
sanguine imagination conceived. Mex
ico and the United States have much
in common, bringing us closer together.
Our territory joins: our constitutions
are nearly alike; the eagle is used as
the emblem of both; our people Are
mingling and trade between us has
rapidly Increased.
“The liberal and progressive policy
of your President has the respect and
admiration of the people of all the
American republics, and I propose we
stand and drink to the health and long
fife of President Diaz and those as
sociated with him in state affairs.”
The Hon. John Barrett, another of
the United States delegates, at the ex
press request of his American col
leagues. made the principal speech of
the evening on behalf and in the name
of the United States delegates. His
closing remarks made a deep and fav
orable impression on the delegates
from the Spanish-American countries
and the distinguished Mexican officials
present and were received with load
applause.
Mr. Barrett's Address.
The remarks in question were as
follows:
"And now a word upon the Pan-
American policy of the United States.
It would be presumptuous for me bore
to enlarge Upon or interpret the tra
ditional policy and attitude of the
United S'ates in her relations with her
sister republics of the Western hem
isphere. It suffices simply to empha-
Size some clearly established truths
which opponents of Pan-Amerlcanlsm,
whether nations, men or a certain ele
ment of foreign and home press, hold
ing the sixpence of prejudice too near
the eye to see the grand, enduring
truth beyond, cannot controvert or de
etroy. That (pan-American) happily
ha* been unmlsakably defined and
practiced through a long period of

assumes not to speak as parent to her
offspring, albeit with the same affec
tion; she Speaks oily as a sister to
sisters, where, forsooth, seniority of
years as an established republic may
give some weight to her counsels. In
spired by love of family and
kindred interest thO United States to
Pan-America says that she has no
thought of interference with the sov
ereign rights of her sister republics,
great or small; she declares that she
wishes them to work out their indi
vidual destinies as she is doing, with
the same sympathies, with the same
patriotism and national pride, and
with reciprocal interest in herself.”
To Follow the Golden Rale.
Continuing, he said:
“To the Old World the United States,
without suggestion of braggadocclo and
with respect to European institutions
and precedents, lays down no mandate
of territorial aggrandizement among
the republics of the Western Hemis
phere which she does not apply in un
equivocal terms to herself. In other
words, it is the intent and ambition of
the American people that the Ameri
can policy of the United States shall
ever be corrollary of the Golden Rule.
In this connection permit me
to commend in unstinted terms
the Diaz doctrine, the doctrine
of peace so clearly and ably outlined
by Senor Chavero at the recent nota
ble banquet of the Mexican delegation.
The genuine response and appreciation
that its declaration has met in the
United States is a deserving tribute of
our country to the greatness and good
ness of Mexico’s President.
“In conclusion, my colleagues of the
Pan-American Conference, I would
submit two cardinal principles that are
paramount in the thoughts of the del
egates of the United States.
"First. Commerce is the lifeblood of
nations; second, peace is the ozone that
keeps that blOod pure and abundant.
“With these sentiments in mind, it
is my great honor and privilege, on be
half of the United States delegations,
to propose the health of the Presidents
of all the American republics."
Hr, Pepper Spoke in Spanish.
C. M. Pepper, another of the United
States delegates, was the last of the
American speakers. His speech was
given in correct Spanish, which was
much appreciated as a compliment to
the language of most of those pres
ent.
The concluding words of Mr. Pepper
were as follows:
“We feel that when the great hem
isphere family gather together through
the medium of the Pan-American Con
gress for the interchange of impres
sions and opinions they should be able
to promote plans whose object is both
ideal and practical. We all cherish the
hope of realizing the grand ideas of
Blaine, to encourage and develop the
natural resources of the Americas and
to establish the sway of peace and
concord throughout the Western hem
isphere. Our desire is that justice and
respect for law shall be soverlgn among
the peoples of common origin and
tongue as among the countries which
also possess as their heritage
the. I princeless treasure of Re
publican institution:*. When I see at
the.conference hall their national col
ors grouped together It seems to me
that in this allegory we heed be able
to read the future and that we should
read It thus:
“ ‘To every nation Its own flag, yet
all uni ed for the general good by the
ties of friendship and fraternity.* ”
The speaker, on behalf of Mexico,
was Senor Genaro Raigosa, president
of the conference, and on behalf of
South America, Alvarez of Peru, and
Auguste Matte of Chili; and on behalf
of Central America, J. B. Calvo of
Costa Rica. All their speeches were
full of cordiality towards, the United
States.
ARGENTINA FOR ARBITRATION.
Her Delegate* Make a Strong Dec
laration to This Effect.
City of Mexico, Nov. 27.—At this
morning's session of the Pan-American
Congress the Argentine delegation pre
sented a lengthy report showing what
the Argentine Republic had done with
a view to carrying out the recommen
dation of the first conference held in
Washington eleven years ago. The re
port IS a comprehensive review of the
resources of Argentine, the part which
attracted most attention being the
chapter dealing with arbitration. The
Argentine delegates declare themselves
in favor of comparative and compul
sory arbitration for all questions, pend
ing and future. They make a veiled
allusion to South American contro
versies when they say:
“There are real difficulties menac
ing, conflicts pending; questions in a
word, which refuse to be put out of
sight and those questions, the second
Pan-American conference must con
sider and solve in a lofty spirit of Jus
tice under penalty of failing absolute
ly in one of the fundamental purposes
of its existence.”
This declaration attracted great at
tention, inasmuch as Chili had stipu
lated as a condition, sine qua non, for
participating in the conference that
the consideration of arbitration was
to be confined to future questions only,
and that her delegates would with
draw from the conference if any at
tempt were made to give a different
turn to the discussion of that sub
ject.
The declaration of the Argentine del
egates was the more pointed In that
they affirmed that their country has
no wrongs to avenge. In fact, the
*ympathy of the Argentines for Peru,
though not offensively shown, has
been very apparent since the opening
of the conference.
The Congress received communica
tions from the state department at
Washington returning thanks for the
resolutions of condolence on the death
of President McKinley and a message
on behalf of the International peace
bureau.

Her Version of the Tragedy.
Claimed That She and Ayrea Were
In Dendly F.nihraee, and That She
llad Clasped Revolver Which Was
In Ayres Hand—Witness Did Not
Think This Possible.
Wa.thington, Nov. 27.—The principal
witness to-day before the Criminal
Court in which Mrs. Lola I. Bonine is
being tried for murder of James S.
Ayres, Jr., was Dr. Martin W. Glaze
brook, the deputy coroner for the Dis
trict of Columbia, who conducted the
autopsy on the body of Ayres. He de
scribed in detail the three wounds on
the young man's body, and the court
crier, stripped to the Tvaist, was used
to illustrate the location and course of
the wounds for the instruction of the
jury. Dr. Glazebrook also testified that
Mrs. Bonine had given him het ver
sion of the manner in which Ayres came
to his death, claiming that the wounds
were inflicted while the pistol was in
Ayres’ hands, and Illustrating how the
tragedy occurred, but he thought that*
it was impossible for the wounds to
have been made with the weapon in
Ayres’ own hands. She told him that
he was at her back and had his arms
clasped about her when the shots were
fired.
Johnson J, Hooper, John A. Taft and
Michael Kane testified that Ayres was
sober on the night of the tragedy.
Dr. Glazebrook described the three
wounds in the body of the victim. One
was In the left arm, one in the left
thigh and one in the breast, all ex
cept the thigh wound showing powder
burns and indicating that the weap
on had been in close proximity to tne
body when at least two shots were
fired. The witness said he bad experi
mented with the pistol found in Ayres'
room and he was about to relate the
particular experiments w hen counsel
on both sides, desiring to have sur
geons present to hear the statement,
secured a suspension of this testimony
until afternoon.
Three colored female servants relat
ed incidents of Ayres’ life at the Ken
more Hotel. One of "them said fhat
she had heard Ayres order Mrs. Bo
nine to get out of his room and remain
out; another, that she saw Ayres and
Mrs. Bonine coining out of the for
mer’s room together, and a third, that
upon one occasion Ayres had shown
indifference when told that Mrs.
Bonine was 111.
Ayres' Wound* Described.
After recess Deputy Coroner Glaze
brook resumed his testimony, begin
ning with a description of his experi
ments with the pistol with which
Ayres was killed, to show the distance
necessary to make powder burns such
as were found on Ayres' undershirt.
He concluded that the wound in Ayres'
thigh must have been made by a
weapon held more than twenty-four
inches from the spot. He also con
cluded that the arm wound must have
been made by a pistol held about four
teen inches away. The chest wound
he thought the muzzle of the revolver
must have been eight Inches from the
body.
Court Crier Joyce was then Intro
duced as a lay figure to illustrute the
location of the wounds on Ayres' )x>dy.
Mr. Joyce was stripped to the waist
and Dr. Glazebrook described the
wounds at length, making careful
measurements and using colored court
plaster, cut round, to show the appear
ance of the spots where the bullets
had entered the body as the nude fig
ure stood in the witness box. Mrs,
Bonine did not once glance at Joyce,
and most of the time he was on ex
hibition she conversed with her attor
neys and her husband. Continuing his
statement and still using Joyce’s body
for the purpose of Illustration, Dr.
Glazebrook said that the wound in the
chest had penetrated the windpipe and
the lungs on the left side and had
ranged to the right and upward, lodg
ing in the back. This wound, he said,
was necessarily fatal. He thought
from the appearance of the blood found
In Ayres’ room, that it was caused by
the chest wound and had been vomited.
In reply -to questions Dr. Glazebrook
said he did not think the wotfnds were
self-inflicted.
Dr. Glaze-brook also stated that he
had had a conversation with Mrs. Bo
nine at the Jail the Tuesday after the
tragedy and that at that time she had
given him her version of the tragedy.
He had called at the Jail professionally
to make an examination of bruises said
to be on Mrs. Bonine’s body, when she
had volunteered to illustrate to him
how the tragedy had occurred. He said
that Mrs. Bonine had had him plaoe
both arms around her, the pistol being
held in the right hand.
She had, she said, clasped the re
volver and the hand which held it, and
the pistol was snapped three times in
the struggle which ensued.
"Assuming that the relative positions
of the two were such as thus describ
ed, and that the pistol was in Ayres'
right hand, could the wounds which
you found upon hi* body have been In

in the description of the affair Mrs.
Bonine had stopped suddenly, saying
that she had been advised not to talk

Paid Fine of gl.OOtl Under Protest.
Same Fate Might Occur to Any
Police Captain. Said the Conrt.
Albany, N. Y.. Nov. 27.—Police Cap
tain Thomas J. Diamond of New York,
who was put on trial here on a change
of venue from New York countv, was
to-day found guilty on the charge of
neglect of duty in having failed to sup
press disorderly houses in his precinct.
Cant. Diamond was sentenced to way
a fine of SI,OOO or to be imprisoned one
year In the Albany county uenften
tiarv. The fine was paid under pro
test. Cart. Diamond will appeal the
case.
In passing sentence Judge Herrick
spoke of the fact that disorderly
houses, “by a large portion of our
community, are regarded as necessary
evils in large cities, and that police
officials wink at their continuance and
allow them to violate the law as long
as they do not flaunt their violations
of the law before the public."
Without expressing any opinion es
to whether this tolerance of this class
of houses is morally right or wrong,
the court said that “it is something
that is done probably by every police
official in every large city in the state,
and there Is not a police captain prob
ably in any precinct in the city of New
York, or in the city of Albanv. for
that matter, that might not bo con
victed for exactly the same crime that
you have been convicted of.”
