Now if the tariff for protection so operates, that one section gets a gain and the other gets a loss, then whose system of protection ought to be abolished? And if the advocates of the protective tariffcaunot prove that it is of as great advantage to the West as to the East, as great an advantage to the South as to the North, aud that it is a national and not a sectional policy; if, I say, they cannot establish tao8e points, then the policy ought to be abandoned.

Chicago, Oct. 11.—Mayor Roche held a short conference this morning with a com mittee of street car strikers, and fouud them disposed to compromise. He then held one lasting several hours, with Presi dent Yerkesot the Street Car syndicate, but could make nothing out of him. Presidential contest, the most important | since that of 1800. Mr. Cleveland, by his message, for which 1 sincerely honor him, has challenged the protected industries of the country to a fight of extermination. Men who are accumulating immense for tunes under the present law, are deter mined to defeat Mr. Cleveland if money and industry will accomplish it. It is useless to disguise tne fact that the fight is to death, and we would be idiots to ig nore that fact.” Mr. Vest added that any man who did not appreciate the differences between a letter written under the circumstances un der which that letter was written and one written to be submitted to the fierce criti cism of political opponents, would have no further explanation from nim. What he had wanted, and what that letter fair ly construed did say, was that the issue was between the principle of absolute and unlimited protection, which he understood the Republiceu party to advo cate, and the position of the Democratic party, which was the raising ot revenue from taxes properly adjusted, and that on that issue tne fight was to the death. Mr. Vest also complained of a small hand bill misrepresenting his letter, and printing it iu this way: “Air. Cleveland by his message, for which I sin cerely honor him, has challenged the protected interests of the country to a war of extermination. The fight is to the death.” The man or men who did this, aud who took two entirely distinct and sepa rate portions of his letter aud put them together, leaving oat the intermediate and explanatory sentences, would dis grace the striped clothes of the peniten tiary. Mr. Cullom remarked that the explana tion made tne matter no better. There was no mistaking the fact that the Senator from Alissouri said that the President had challenged the protected industries to a fight for extermination. Mr. Vest—The President inis made fcis own statement. Why not criticise that? Mr. Cullom—I have done so. At the close of Culloms speech, Mr. Platt addreseed the Senate iu favor of the Senate bill. He argued that in the civil war the real controversy, was between protection and free trade, and in support of that idea, lie read various extracts from editorials in the New York Herald in 1861. “That war,” he said “was a conspiracy against Northern labor, aud it was the Northern labor system which iu defending itself had preserved the nation in tact. It might have been supposed that free trade surrendered at Appomatox, but it had not; free trade doctrine had two classes of supporteis at the North. There were the doctrinals, professors of colleges, who knew nothing whatever of practical economy, and spoils men who sought by adhesion to the free fortunes trade of the solid South to get office for ihemselres and their friends.

In the water were found numerous fish and frogs, which differed from the ordinary species in that they had no eye*. From tue surroundings, it would seem that the fish aud frogs had lived there thousands of years. Several places iu these quarries show traces of volcanic action. terrible loss of life in case of a wreck. Throughout the night the depot was thronged by hundreds of persons, suffer ing untold agony over the uncertainty. The throng was loud iu its denunciation of the company lor refusing all information and causing so much needless sufleriug. At 3:30 a. m., the report was in circulation that arrangements had been made for the receipt of a large number ot the wounded at the hospital. The rumor was soon con firmed, the officials were expecting 25 of the victims. With such a list of wounded corning in this direction, the public pulse stood still over the horrible possibilities, and thou sands of fainting hearts quivered in dread. Alany persons wanted to go to the scene of the disaster and endeavored to charter a locomotive. Rev. Father Moylan, of Scranton, offered to pay cash for any ex pense in that direction, but the favor could not be obtained, owing to the absence of Superintendent Alitchell at the wreck. Many persons, after waiting during the long, weary hours from 10 to 3 in the morn ing, took the south bound train, which passed here at 3:10, and went to the scene of the appalling disaster. It was there learned tnat the third sec tion of the excursion train had stood on the track a few hundred yards from Mud Run, waiting for the sections ahead to go out of the way. The flagman, some say, had been sent back with a lantern to guard the train from the rear. Suddenly the passengers in the rear saw a train approaching at a high rate of speed. Several of these passengers who saw the danger, jumped and escaped. In an instant the flash of the headlight illu minated the interior of the ill fated rear coach. There was a frightful crash; the engine plunged her full length into the crowded mass of humanity. The shock drove the rear car through the next one for two-thirds of its length, and the second car was forced into the third. Not a single person escaped from the rear car. The second was crowded with maimed and bleeding bodies, and the third car had but few passengers who es caped uninjured, but the terror-stricken passengers of both trains made their way out of the cars, and on going to the tele scoped engine and cars, where the full horror of the terrible disaster dawned upon them. The shattered engine was pouring forth streams of scalding steam and water, which hid from their eyes, the fuilest measure of the horrible scene, while its hissing sound drowned the shrieks and groans of those imprisoned in the wreck. Ghastly white faces peeped into the win dows to be greeted by faces far more ghast ly. Some of the dead sat pioioned in their seats, erect as in life, staring, open eyed as if aware of the horrible surrounding. As the steam and smoke cleared away from the rear car, its awful sights were re vealed. Timbers were crushed and wrenched, while on all sides hung mangled bodies aud limbs. The few bodies which were not mangled, were burned and scalded by the steam, and little remained in car which bore human resmblance. When the sho.-kof the first crash had, in a measure, subsided, the uninjured be gan to do what could be done for their unfortunate companions. The few slight tools on the train were called into requi sition, but proved feeble instruents indeed. The St. Francis pioneer corns, who were on the train, plied with zeal the broad axes which were meant for holiday occa sions. They were, however, but little adapted to the work, and were soon ren dered useless. .In the meantime the w.n- dows of the cars were smashtd in and brave men entered and released those least hurt, or least entangled. In one car they found John Lynch, of Wilkesbarre, hanging from the roof by one leg. His cries brought a friend, who, to re lieve his suffering, stood upon the wreck age and held his weight upon their backs uuHI he was released from his terrible position. A young lady was found caught by the lower limbs. One of her limbs was quickly released, but the other couid not funeral cars, but Were again refused, it be ing alleged that no one had the keys. Several who were in search of missing friends became desperate, and soon broke down the car doors and began a frantic search for their loved ones. The clothes were torn from the mangled and scalded bodies, revealing the gay uniforms of the St. AIojaius men, cadets aud other mem bers of societies. Those who knew that their relatives were on board also flocked into the cars, and began rearranging tlie attire or coverings or the corpses. Alany were distorted and in horrible attitudes, and friends endeavored to lessen their frightful appearance. At Aliners Mills the train stepped to leave one body. No lights could be obtained and much of the work was done in partial darkness A press dispatch from Fittsbui taing t’ie following information in to the Knight* of Imbor: The letter of T. B. Barry resigning from the Execu’ive Board of' the Knights of Labor hit* created great axcitemant here. It ha* loosened the tongues of the leaders of the order and they are talking with a vim and freedom quite unusual. As al ready known, the letter was received in Philadelphia ou Saturday, bar no action will be taken until next meeting of the board. It will be a difficult matter to ootnin a quorum then to tike action on the mat ter, as but few members ars left. Tuere is no provision, a* far a* could be learned from member- ot the order sp,>ken to re garding the tilling of vacancies on the general Executive Board. The onlv sec tion tnat could he found in the const Ra tion was No. 343, which provides thai the Master Workman of local, |di*tnct. na tional, trade or Slate assemblies can fill vacancies or the Executives Boa-vis of such bodies. Homer L McOaw, ex-Master Workman of I). A. 3, and who ha* held the position of delegate to the General Assembly for years, agrees with Barry in some of his statements. He does not believe the order will die within a year, but says the mem bership has fallen off considerably within the past two year*. The spy system adopted at Richmond in the interests of the administration, he says, is correctly criticised, and he knows of “men who have been made intoxicated by these spies for a purpose.” Sam Lefflngwell, one of the victims, it is claimed, belongs to Indianapolis, and i* stumping the State of Indiana in the inter est of the Democratic ticket, one of his ob jects being to show up Litohman. the ox- general secretary, and General Master Workman Powderly, who have been fast friends for years, but McGawsays not now.

He does not desire the facts published, but the figures date from the Genera! Assembly at Hamilton, Out., in 1SS5. At Ham ilton. Oat., in 1885, the membership was 543.262; at Richmond, 1886, about about the depot and the guards kept the immense throng back.

The story of the disaster as told by an official is as follows: Eighty-seven car loads of people attended the parade at Hazelton from Wilkesbarre, Scranton, Car- bondale and other places. There were eight sections of the train, and these fol lowed passenger train No. 52, with orders to run ten minutes apart. These orders were also delivered to the telegraph ope rators at all signal stations. The seventh section came to Mud Run ahead of time, and was stopped until the ten minutes expired.
