PASSAGE FILLS WITH STEAM. for m Hour. After the Crash Many Sufferers Straggle In the Scalding Bolus --engineer 1st Arrested; Officials May Bo investigated. The horror that all New York felt must come some time, because of the condition of the New York Central tunnel, came Wednesday. There are fifteen dead, several dying and many injured as a result of a rear-end colli­ sion at Ij^s^v-sixth street in the murky passagewy beneath Park avenue. It occurred at 8:20 o'clock in the morn­ ing and nearly all the victims;/ $r$ra men and women on their way from New Rochelle to business in the city. There have be£n accidents where the list of mangled was longer, but never about New York has there been so much of hideous incident, such tor­ ment and suffering, such choking ter­ ror as |n this crash in the smoke-dark­ ened, steam-filled cavern Wednesday morning. It was an hour after the in­ coming Harlem local train dashed into the end of the incoming Danbury train on the New York, New Haven & Hart­ ford stopped in the tunnel by the reg­ ular morning choke-up before the first of the dead was gotten from the hor­ rible, fire-threatened tunnel. All this time the wounded were screaming with the agony of the crushing ajyi the heat and the fear that they were to be burned alive as they lay pinioned In the wreck. From the windows of the smashed cars hung mutilated dead men, whose twisted, swinging arms brushed those who came by In the darkness seeking to render aid. No possible horror of a railroad wreck was spared the victims. Here an arm torn from its socket was picked up, there a woman shrieking with pain, but alive, begged for help and while it was being attempted was killed by the bursting of a steam pipe. In the last car the rescuer dragging one from dan­ ger crushed others as the tangled, hor­ ror heap settled. Even the last soul- sickening incident was present, for men, hiding under th« cloak of mercy, tried to loot the dead. And the pity of it yas that it could all have Lcen prevented. Commissions have recom­ mended the modernizing of the system of the black hole. District attorneys have pointed out the dangers, and en­ gineers have indicated jthe remedies-^ and yec nothing was done. At present all responsibility is made to rest on the engineer of the Harlem train. He is in jail charged with homicide. It may be that responsibility will be fixed higher than the engineer who could not see, and who failed to hear the warn­ ing that was shouted by his fireman and that those who are to blame for the tunnel conditions will answer for the lives that were taken.

By.a vote of 308 to 2 the ifiouse of Representatives passed the Hepburn Nicaragua canal bill. But on a test of strength between the rival routes Panama mustered 120 votes, against 170 for Nicaragua. This result was reached with the understanding that after the Panama company's offer has been formally submitted the Senate will take action, and thus the whole question will be brought before the House again. If the Senate decides for Panama the House will acquiesce. The prevailing idea now at both ends of the capital isr to turn the whole matter over to the President. The bill as passed authorizes the President to secure from the stated of Costa Rica and Nicaragua, in behalf of the Unit­ ed States, control of such a portion of the territory belonging to said states as may be desirable and necessary in which to excavate, construct and pros­ pect a canal suitable to the wants of modern navigation and commerce, and appropriates such a sum as may be necessary to secure the control of said territory.

However, Will Mako~"> Wo Move at Present--Not king to Be 'V Done Until the Insurrection AgmUMfy Castro Is Ended. v. Washington dispatch: T1& Ste- public of Venezuela, beset by internal dissension and daily expecting foreign complications through Germany's pur- < pose to make her pay obligations to i German subjects, is in danger of new troubles, which must tend to subdue even the bold and defiant spirit of. President Castro. Germany's an- ^ nouncement of her intention to make Venezuela pay up has had the effect of bringing other creditors to the point of importuning their govern- ments to follow the example of the Kaiser's ministers. There are a host of people in France and the United States who had vainly endeavored to secure a settlement of their pecuniary- claims against the Venezuelan govern- i ment, and these have now begun to re­ new their efforts to bring Castro to terms. Since the publication of the statements of Germany's plans of com­ pelling Castro to satisfy his German creditors many Americans who have had unfortunate experiences in their dealings with Venezuela have written to the President and the State Depart­ ment urging that the example of Ger- many be followed. Their letters have been emphatic on this point. The writ­ ers want the President to take imme­ diate action and to back up demands for the payment of the American claims with a squadron of warships. There is no disposition on tbe part of the authorities here, however to make any move in this direction until con- \ ditions in Venezuela' have changed. Germany's forbearance in deferring ac­ tion toward the collection of her debts until Venezuela's internal troubles have passed away Is regarded by this government jas a display of proper spirit, and it is safe to say that even should the State Department decide to go to extremes in pressing the claims of American citizens nothing will be done in that direction until after. Ihe Insurrection has ended. It may be pre dieted also that even after that the United States will not move until Ger­ many has carried out her plans for bringing Castro to terms. Meahwhita the American claims may be brought to the attention of the Venezuelan gov­ ernment through the ordinary diplo- ^ matic channels. Thirteen Families In Trouble.
