Celeael DhIuh Tlrt.tr of Begubllcaas Woo Mot ■ loiiflii Oao—U?li| Im«oo Mot Tootort. 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.

Body Decided To Grant Cnndltlonnl l)li- chnrnes From the Army. 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. FAST TRAINS COLLIDE. REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS To Bo Opoaed In Washington ns Soon ns Congress Convene*. 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 tonch with our different etate and dis trict organizations and keep them to gether. Oar idea is to always have thorn in good working order, ready for any kind of work.” 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.

A special to tha Washington Post from Columbia, S.

You cannot rely npou sensa tional minors.” 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,” LARGEST GENERAL CARGO Mrer Cleared From Mew Orleene Wee Aboard Steem.hlp Monarch. The steamship Monarch cleared from New Orleans Friday for Liverpool with the largest general cargo ever carried from that port, embracing 20,680 bales of cotton, 128,000 bnshele of corn and 19,000 staves.

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.

THE^o 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 ■tops at the Spanish ports.
