The barge had struck a railroad trestle over the foggy backwaters of a bayou just before the train carrying more than 200 people plunged off it and exploded, killing at least 44, early Wednesday. "The fact is, he was lost," Coast Guard Capt. Michael Perkins said of the pilot of the tugboat MV Mauvilla. "While he was trying to gath er up his barges, the train came along and the accident occurred." A giant crane stabilized the Sunset Limited coaches before divers resumed their search for bodies Thursday. The body of a 5-year-old girl was found floating about 100 feet from the submerged car of the Los Angeles to Miami train, said one of the divers, Mark Lampkin of Orange Grove, Miss. At least twopeople were missing. The tugboat pilot, Andrew Stabler, has been questioned by the FBI and his vessel impounded. The barges were moored a quarter mile from the crash site 10 miles north of Mobile. Perkins said that Stabler radioed in at 3:06 a.m. Wednesday — 12 minutes before the train crash — that he had struck a bridge, but mis takenly thought he had hit a span on the Mobile River. Instead, he was on Bayou Canot, one of several bayous, streams and creeks that feed into the river at its delta. U.S. Transportation Secretary Federico Pena told "CBS Morning News" that Perkins radioed only that a barge had come loose. "Un fortunately, he did not indicate it had hit the support," Pena said. The train's speed wasn't known; the speed limit on the bridge was 70 mph. It had just left the Mobile station. Results of mandatory drug and alcohol tests given Stabler and three crewman were unavailable, the Coast Guard said. The barges were lashed two aside and filled with coal, coke and wood chips. Some apparently broke loose upon impact, and Stabler was trying to corral them in the fog. "It is clear the barge did hit the bridge," Pena said. Stabler refused to answer questions without consulting his lawyer. "I'd like to tell my side. People get things and turn them around," Sta bler told The Associated Press. Warrior & Gulf Navigation Co., owner of the tugboat, said in a statement the vessel was pushing barges north in the fog-shroud- ed Mobile River. The bayou the train crashed into feeds into the river. The bayou isn't navigable, although barges sometimes tie up there temporarily. "The vessel found itself not in the river channel but in the Bayou Canot/' said Andrew Harris, general manager for terminals for War rior & Gulf. "Details are still unclear, but the vessel was trying to re turn to the river as the Amtrak train approached the bridge where the accident occurred." Parliament radifies historic Mideast treat) The Associated Press JERUSALEM — Prime Minis ter Yitzhak Rabin declared he won "freedom of action" to pur sue Mideast peace after parlia ment ratified the historic Israel- PLO accord on Thursday. Rabin said the 61-50 vote al lowed the government to imple ment the agreement on Palestin ian self-rule in the occupied lands and continue attempts to reach peace with Israel's Arab neigh bors. The margin was less substan tial than Rabin had hoped for, but it put a convincing end to calls for early elections or a national refer endum that would have slowed down the peace momentum. "Now we shall build a new Middle East," Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said after the vote. PLO spokesman Yasser Abed- Rabbo praised the result, telling Israel army radio from Tunis it was a "positive step" and that support for the treaty was larger in the street than in parliament. Rabin had staked the credibili ty of the peace initiative as well as the future of his government on winning the vote, saying it would constitute a formal vote of confi dence. Eight legislators abstained from the vote, and one was absent in the 120-seat Knesset, or parlia ment. The result clearly embar rassed Likud, which failed to en force party discipline. One of the three Likud mem bers who abstained, Meir Shitreet, said his party's opposition to a peace deal backed by the majority of Israelis was "political suicide." He said on Israeli radio that seven Likud members backed the agree ment privately. "There is no need for new elec tions. The parliament very clearly approved the agreement,Hi margin is very clear/' Rabinj spokesman Oded Ben-Ami toll The Associated Press. Rabin said he will now focus on the painstaking taskofestab lishing Palestinian autonomy® the occupied Gaza Strip and lit West Bank town of Jericho,and on pursuing peace negotiation: with Jordan, Lebanon and Syria, "This gives the governmen! freedom of action to implement what it brought to the Knesset," he said on Israel radio. Ben-Ami voiced hope forth resumption of Middle East peace talks in Washington next montli and for detailed negotiations on what promised to be "a long and bumpy road." Peres, speaking later on Israel television, said Israel and the PLO hoped to formalize their current unofficial contacts within twotu three weeks, with the PLO nam ing several delegates for face-lo- face talks. As part of the accord, Israel will free 11,000 Palestinian de tainees, said Palestinian leadei Hanan Ashrawi. Confirming a report in the Jerusalem Report magazine, Ashrawai said the release could not come immediately. Prisonser vices spokesman Dubi Ben-Ami denied the plan but acknowl edged that the detainees' fate was still unclear. Another 2,000 maximum secu rity detainees will be moved from the occupied territories to Israel, the magazine said. Ashrawi also said Jan. 1 "could be a target date" for PLO chief Yasser Arafat's arrival in the ar eas of future autonomy. Gonen Segev of the right-wing Tsomet Party said the hard-liners will now start "an information campaign" to force changes in the agreement. 2000 Summer Olympic Games to be in Sydney The Associated Press MONTE CARLO, Monaco — Stability and reliability won out over political risk and un certainty Thursday as Sydney narrowly edged out Beijing for the right to host the 2000 Sum mer Olympic Games. In a secret ballot by the International Olympic Committee, Sydney beat Beijing on the final round by just two votes — 45-43. Dropping out in the previous rounds were Istanbul, Turkey; Berlin; and Manchester, Eng land. The decision to return the Games to Aus tralia for the first time since the 1956 Mel bourne Olympics was announced live to a worldwide television audience by IOC presi dent Juan Antonio Samaranch. In choosing Sydney over Beijing, the IOC went for the safer candidate, a glamorous, cos- mopolitan city with superior sports facilities and technology. "We know this is the perfect decision," said IOC director general Francois Carrard. "The Olympic movement is in good hands." Beijing had offered the powerful symbolic impact of holding the Games of the new mil lennium in a nation of 1.2 billion people as it opens up to the rest of the world. Awarding the Games to China would have prompted further outcry from human rights critics, including members of the U.S. Congress. There may also have been concern over the uncertain political future in China, ruled hr 88-year-old Deng Xiaoping. "If there was a difference in the vote it wa clearly between the risk-takers and the not risk-takers," said Dick Pound, a powerful ei ecutive board member from Canada who had lobbied for Beijing. Some members felt it was too soon for Chi na to get the Games, with 2004 a more realistit target. "Of course we are disappointed, but they (the Australians) conducted themselves ina sportsmanlike way, and we are happy for them," said Wei Jizhong, secretary-general of the Chinese Olympic Committee.

"As the president made a na tional call to arms and a bipartisan appeal to join together to solve this crisis, the Republicans failed to re spond in the same spirit," saida memo to supporters shipped out by the White House's "War Room" on health care. Dole said the president would have to pull together lawmakers from all sides — "otherwise, fm not certain the bill will pass." "It's always a mistake to take the vote of any member of Con gress for granted," Rep. Jim Mc Dermott, D-Wash., a House liber al, and the leader of 90 backers of the government-run, Canada- style legislation.

I hope people will not get caught up in the pol itics of it all because that's nol what it is about. "I hope they understand tha> the MSC is a memorial for all Aggies who gave their lives for their country."
