Colonel W. J. Bryan gave the Asso
ciated Press the following interview at
Lincoln, Neb., Tuesday, relative to
the late eleotion:
“While I do not understand that
aefvice in the volunteer army prevents
a soldier from expressing opinions
upon political questions, I declined to
take part in the late campaign lest I
should be accused by partisan oppo
nents of attempting to 'embarrass the
administration. Njpw that the election
ia over, I shall exercise a oitiseu’s
privilege of discussing the returns.
“Compared with the election of
1896, the republicans have gained in
some places and lost in others. It was
not a sweeping republican victory. On
the whole, the result is not surprising
when it is remembered that the admin
istration is just concluding a success
ful war.
“While a majority of the soldiers
are probably anti-republican, the man
agement of the war has been entirely
in republican hands, and the strong
est grgument used during the cam
paign was that a republican defeat
would discredit the president in the
eyes of foreign nations while his com
missioners were engaged in making a
treaty.
“It was not a trial upon the iss les
now before the peqple, but a success
ful plea-for a continuance of the case.
The people have not accepted the gold
standard; they have not- fallen in love
with the plan to give the banks a mo
nopoly of the issue of paper money;
they have not decided to retire the
greenbacks; they have not surrender
ed to the trusts.
“These questions were forced into
the background by the declaration of
war, but they must be faced again as
soon as peaoe is restored. The Chi
cago platform presents for publio con
sideration certain vital economic ques
tions. That platform has not been
abandoned by those who epdorsed it
in 1896. It will be reaffirmed in 1900
because it gives expression to the
hopes and aspirations of a large ma
jority of the party.
“When the democrats, populists
and silver republicans favored Cuban
independence, they understood that
war would give a temporary advantage
to the party in power, but they were
willing to risk defeat in order to aid
the people fighting to be ires.
“Neither can the election be re
garded as an indorsement of any defl-
• nite foreign policy. Until a treaty of
peace has been entered into and the
terms made known, the people cannot
pass jndgmont upon it. Whether the
war will raise any question of suffi
cient importance to turn publio atten
tion away from domestic problems re-
1 mains to be seen.”
In regard to the Nebraska eleotion,
he said:
“A light vote was cast in Nebraska,
bnt the fusionists have eleoted the en
tire state ticket and carried the same
congressional districts that they car
ried in 1896. If Senator Allen is de
feated for re-election it will be because
senators are elected by legislators in
stead of by the people. If a republi
can senator is ohosen by the new leg
islature he will go to Washington to
represent a minority of the people of
the state and to thwart the will of the
majority. ’’
Msasded Cnton Is Mew Ortrttl By
British AatherMes.
Wreckers arriving at Nassau, N. P.
Friday brought with them stores from
the stranded vessel off Oat island,
whioh establishes beyond a doubt that
the she is Infsata Maria Teresa.
As the vessel is looked upon as
being a derelict, the wreckers claim
the right to seise the stores whioh can
be saved. They report that the water
is up to her between-deeke; that she
has a list to starboard, whioh side is
damaged, and that she is dismasted.
The vessel lies between reefs, on a
smooth bottom, and has her anchor
4>ut.
The British admiralty authorities at
Nassau are going to take possession
of the Teresa as a derelict. The Amer
ican oonsul has protested against this
course, claiming everything less the
salvage. The steamer Antilla has
gone to Oat island with customs offi
cers and police on board.
Opinions diffisr as te the ebanoe of
saving the cruiser. Although she has
been agrouni for over a week, the
Maria Teressa rests la an easy posi
tion, and the weather is moderate.
Officials at the navy .department in
Washington were interested in the
news from Nsssan, identifying dearly
the steamship lying off Cat island as
the Maria Teresa. The legal status of
the vessel has been considered, and in
the opinion of the administration the
title of the United States is unim
paired, notwithstanding the fact that
it was necessary to abandon her for a
time.
It is feared that the damage to the
vessel Sustained through the storm,
and the probable pounding upon tho
coral reefs outlying Cat island, added
to the wounds received by the ship iu
notion when she sunk originally, are
sufficient to render her entirely valne-
less.
.The navy department has deoided
that a oourt of inquiry shall be held
to■ determine whether the abanbon-
ment of the Teresa at sea is'justiflnble,
and if not, who was responsible.

CUBAN ASSEMBLY ADJOURNS.
Body Decided To Grant Cnndltlonnl l)li-

A Havana dispatch says; The Cuban
delegates at their last session at Santa
Cruz del Sur resolved to discharge all
men who have been enlisted Aug. 14,
the date of the ces ation of hostilities,
and to give an indefinite leave of ab
sence to all officers and men desirons
of being discharged ‘from the Cuban
army, provided they give tbeir place
.of residence and sign a pledge to re
turn to the ranks in case they are
called npon to do so. The assembly
has adjourned until the return of its
commission from Washington.
Almodovar de Bio, minister of foreign
affairs, received a telegram Friday
evening announcing that Emperor
William would arrive at Cartagena on
Novomber 19th. *
The authorities were apparently
greatly surprised when they heard of
the visit, and it ib probable that they
had no previons notice of it.
The whole Spanish press expresses
the hope that Oormany will initiate
some sort of European intervention.
. Official circlea pretend to be amazed
that such an idea should take hold of
the pnblio and they loudly declare
that the kaiser’s visit will have no
official character.
It is understood that as a matter of
courtesy the queen regent will send
an autograph letter inviting the em-
perer and empress of Germany to visit
Madrid.
In the unlikely event of acceptance
their German majesties would natural
ly be shown special attention, The
German ambassador will confer on
the subject with Dnke Almodovar de
Bio and nothing definite will be known
regarding the matter nntil after the
interview.

A Cleveland, O., dispatch says: The
republican national headquarters, ac
cording to Secretary Charles F. Dicky
will be opened in Washington as soon
as congress convenes and preparations
for the campaign of 1900 will go for
ward rapidly. Discussing the subjeat,
Colonel Dick said:
'“We will go on keeping in close

trict organizations and keep them to

Fonr Ken Killed Oilright-Alr-nrakei
Felled to Work#
A special from Wiikesbarre, Pa.,
says: The Buffalo express, on the
Lehigh Talley railroad, whioh left New
York at 8:80 o’clock Thursday night,
ran into the New York and Phila
delphia express going east on Wiikes
barre mountain at 8 o’clock Friday
morning. Five men were killed and
four wounded.
The train going east had the right
of way on a single track. The Buffalo
express, in oharge of Engineer Bohb-
ling, had orders to stop on a siding on
the mountain and let the New York
express pass.
As Bohbling approached the siding
he discovered that the air brakes
would not work. The ongineer whis
tled frantically for the hand brakes.
He knew, the other train was about
dne. ' He reversed his engine and
stuck to bis post, but could not avert
the collision. In less than a minute
the express train, drawn by two‘en
gines, hove in sight. A terrible crash
followed on a enrve in a deep cut.
An investigation showed that
heavy windstorm prevailed on the
mountain in the night, which caused the
leaves from the forest to accumulate
on the track. The engines plowed
into these leaves, which clogged the
braking apparatns.
A Grand Trunk express train bound
for Toronto, Ontario, crashed into a
moving freight train near Murray
Hill crossing, two miles west of Tren
ton at 8:80 o’clock Tuesday morning
and several oars wera smashed almoet
to splinters.
So far as known twelve persons were
killed and half as many more seriously
injured.
A mieplaeed switch was the oause of
the aocident, the west-bound taking
the wrong trnok, on whioh was the
east-bound freight. The train con
sisted of express, mail and baggage
cars, a second-olass oar, one first-olass
coach and two Pullman sleepers. The
second-olass car was next to the bag-,
gage car and ahead of the first-olass
coaoh and sleepers. It was pretty
well filled with people, there being
twenty 01; more passengers in it, and
hardly any of them escaped without
injmy.
Between Bellville and Murray Hill
crossing the road is singie-traoked,
the only piece of single traok between
Toronto and Montreal. At Murray
Hill crossing the west-bound express
usually leaves the single track and
takeB the double traok, and it was
about a mile and a half west of this
point where the accident occurred.
Whether the signals were right will
npver be known from the engineer and
fireman of the wracked train, for they
are dead. Both engiues were totally
destroyed, and the freight engine was
thrown completely over the passenger
engine into the ditch beyond. The
engineer and fireman of the freight
train—Thomas Ivens and Alexander
Toppin—both of Toronto, jumped,and
both escaped with slight injuries. W.
H. Brady, engineer, of Bdlieville, and
John McDonald, fireman, of Belle
ville, who were in charge of the pas
senger engine, were killed.
The greatest destruction was
wronght in the second-olass oar. The
baggage car was driven iuto and al
most completely throngh it, the pas
sengers being crushed aud mangled
underneath the timbers of the. cor.
The mail car was forced right on top
of the baggage oar and the express
car was partially wreoked. The first-
class car was nuinjured, as were also
two sleepers, although the passengers
were awakened by the shook, Tho
work of pulling out the dead and in
jured was commenced immediately,
but it was many honrs before all the
bodies were got cut.
Some of them were-so horribly man
gled that recognition was almost im
possible. The injured were taken to
the hospital at Bellville.
The dead are: William Lnness;
Charles Goodchild, John Casey, en
gineer, John McDonald, fireman, and
six Bnssians, some of whom are uniden
tified; unknown man, legs and part of
trunk only recovered.
All the Russian party had through
tickets to Cincinnati.
Six men wore taken from the wreck
more or less badly injured.

A special to tha Washington Post
from Columbia, S. C., give* the fol
lowing story of Friday’s developments
in the race riots in that state
Sheriff MoCaslan, of Greenwood
county, in' whioh Phoenix is located,
wired the governor as follows: “Things
perfectly qniet and exoitement .all
gone. You cannot rely npou sensa

Late news from the scene of the re
cent lynching! indicates that the angry
paasions of the people are subsiding,
and no farther bloodshed is now ex
pected unless two negroes, Cirouit and
White, or Henderson, a white man, all
of whom the crowd wish to secure, are
found. There is every reason to be-
lieva that all three have made good
their escape. The feeling against the
Tolberts seems to be intense. An im
partial man,who has bean at the scene
of the difficulty, says:
“If the Tolberts return to their home
any time soon trouble will inevitably
follow their presence in the neighbor
hood, which, for some time to come, if
ever, will not be a healthy plaoe for
them. They are looked npon aa tha
inoittrs of tha trouble,”

FIUHT AGAINST ALL-COTTON.
Alabama Agricultural CoinmUelen Will
Recommend New Modea.
Commissioner of Agriculture Culver
of Alabama has announced that he will
in a day f or two {sene a call to the
farmers of Alabama for a meeting to
be held in' Montgomery on December
8 for the purpose of devising ways
and means for the improvement of
breeds of cattle in the state.
Major Culver says that the low price
of cotton makes it necessary for the
farmers to change their mode of farm
ing. He thinks that Texas, Indian
Territory and Oklahoma will in the
near fnture gather some 5,000,000 or
6,000,000 bales of cotton annually, and
that Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and
the Carolinas will have to abandon the
ail-cotton system and go at something
else.

GERMANS MAKE DENIAL.
They Bay Emperor's Visit to Spala Is
Not An Official One.
A Washington dispatch says: It is
nnderstood that assurances have been
given by the German government that
the visit of Emperor William, of
Germany, to Spain is entirely devoid
of official character; that the'trip of
the imperial party ended when they
left Palestine and that the proposed
stop at Cadiz and Cartagena is largely
a health precaution in behalf of the
empress, as the sea trip would be long
and arduous if unbroken by these
