THE STATE OF L
VOL. X.
WAITING ON RUSSIA
—
Her Motives a Fruitful Source of
Speculation.
BLOWITZ’S IDEA PURELY FANCIFUL
The Powers Slow to Respond to Rus
sia—Their Attitude is Negative To
wards Russia’s Plan.
Washington. D G\, Special.—A very
interesting dispatch was received at
the War Department, from General
Ghaffee. It described the military sit
uation as eminently satisfactory, t .na
would have been of great value, but
for the omission peculiar to all of the
other official dispatches from China,
namely, the date line. However, tak
ing into consideration the fact that *
cablegram was received by the State
Department dated five days age, from
Mr. Conger, the coinclusion was reach
ed that General Chaffee's dispatch also
was sent from Pekin about August 29
or 30. General Chaffee asks a very
important question as to the with
drawal of the American troops. The
answer to that question, it is said,
might have been, found in the State
Department’s answer* to the Russian
evacuation proposition. But that an
swer. or rather a synopsis of it, was
not cabled to General Chaffee until the
13th ultimo, and it is assumed, allow
ing for the same time in transmittal
as was consumed by General Chaffee's
dispatch, the synopsis has just reached
him. When the Amerioan answer to
the Russian proposal was made public,
it was stated here that General Chaf
fee had been instructed some time be
fore by telegraph just, what course to
pursue in the matter of retiring from
Pekin in the event of the emergency
that afterwards arose. This being so
the application for instructions might,
be regarded as an indication that he
had not received the original instruc
tions when he sent his message.
It is stated that no order has jjeen
sent to General Chaffee to leave Pekin
as the result of any recent develop
ment. In fact it would seem that i*ie
War Department is not. able to in
struct him more specmca.iy on tins
point until the decision of the powers
relative to general evacuation is
known. It was stated at the War De
partment that our position is un
changed: if Russia withdraws her
troops then General Chaffee will do
the same. But we will not act unless
there is a general agreement, or Rus
sia actually does withdraw her troops.
Meanwhile it is gathered that con
ditions in China are disordered ami
foreign life and property are s.ill un
safe.
The dispatch received from Minister
Conger was gratifying to officials, in
that it contained the date of Pekin,
August 30, as an integral part of the
messages, this part in cipher. The
text of the Conger dispatch was not
made public, but it was authoritative
ly stated that it did not change the
situation, and was devoted somewhat
to expressions of opinion. It was au
thoritatively stated in this connection
that Minister Conger will remain at
his post until further orders. Up to
this time he has expressed no wish to
be relieved.
In diplomatic quarters. Russia's mo
tives continue to be a fruitful theme.
The theory advanced by M. de Blowitz,
in the London Times, that it was an
offset to France for Russia’s supposed
nomination of Count Waldersee, is re
garded as purely fanciful. A much
simpler and more reasonable explana
tion is advanced by one diplomatic of
ficial who has taken an active part in
the negotiations. He says that Rus
sia recognizes the obvious fact that it
is to her advantage to have a weak
neighbor instead of having a partition
of Chind, which would range a number
of the powers alongside of Russia. For
this reason, it is said, Russia’s chief
aim is to maintain the present terri
torial conditions.
) To Stop Buying American Cotton.
f Manchester, By Cable.—The Federa

decided to invite all the I-onrasbirc

stopping the mills until the new cottou

Terrible Railway Collision Near Beth
lehem, Pennsylvania.
HARROWING SCENES WITNESSED.
Thirteen Killed and Thirty Others In
jured, Some Seriously. Trains En
tirely Demolished.
Philadelphia, Pa., Special.—Thirteen
persons killed and over 30 others in
jured is the appalling record of a rear
end collision beftweem an excursion
train and a milk train on the Bethle
hem branch of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway Sunday morning at
Hatfield, Pa„ 27 miles north of this
city. The train consisted of
10 day coaches, ans the first sec
tion of a large in made up of
people from Be Allentown and
surrounding tow Atlantic City. It
left the union d-t,pot in Bethlehem at
6:05 a. m. exactly 35 minutes behind
the milk train. Th> ’sitter train con
sisted of two milk rs..*and two pas
senger coaches and had stopped at ev
ery station on the road from Bethle
hem en route to Philadelphia. At 6.54
the rr-ilk train drew up at the milk plat
• form at Hatfield and in lets than two
minutes the special excursion train,
running at the rate of 35 miles an
hour, crashed into the rear of the milk
train. The locomotive ploughed
through the two passenger coaches and
erushed them as if they were eggshells.
The milk car immediately in front was
also badly wrecked. Four persons.
Godfrey Kaelin, his daughter Mamie,
Harold Landis and Wm. Blackburn, on
the passenger ear of the milk train.were
almost instantly killed. Fortunately
there were very few persons cn this
train. The excursion train was a pic
ture of indescribable The lo
comotive was a mass of bent and bro
ken iron and firmly held the bodies of
its engineer and beneath its
great weight. Behind the engine, six
of the ten' cars were also a mass of
wreckage. The first car was broken in
twain and the other five cars were
thrown on their eides, completely de
molished.
Nine persons were killed in the first
two ears and the others in \these
coaches ware Uadly maimed. As soon
as the crash came a terrible cry arose
n& e if* 1 n * Tnj; i f&P q t m H
jumped from the cars to
t/ie assistance of the injured. Many
were pinned down by wreckage and
had to be freed by the liberal use of
axes. Messengers were sent to the
nearby villages for physicians, and a
relie/ train was telegraphed fc.r from
Bethlehem. With 15 doctors and half a
dozen nurses a special train was sent
from Bethlehem, but before it reached
the scene of the wreck it was signalled
to return to Bethlehem, as a special
carrying nearly all the injured had
started for the hospi/tal at that place.
On the run from Hatfield to the hospi
tal three of the injured died. Great
trouble was experienced in keeping the
relatives away from the injured on the
train so that the doctors gathered from
near Hatfield could attend to the
wounded.
The special train arrived at Bethle
hem at 11:30 and was met by fu'ly
5,000 persons, all clamoring to get a bit
of news of the wreck or trying to learn
whether loved ones were among the
victims. The news t.f the wreck had
reached Bethlehem at 8 o’clock and
spread like wild fire. All the police of
the town were gathered at the station,
and it was with great difficulty that the
injured were removed to the waiting
ambulances and ether vehicles which
conveyed them to the hospitals. All
during the day people from Allentown,
Oatasaupe and o:her places came pour
ing into Bethlehem and confusion
reigned throughout the day. The sec
ond section of the excursion, made up
of persons from towns other than Beth
lehem and Allentown, left soon after
eth first section, but was flagged down
before it reached Hatfield. As it cojjSd
not get through on account of the
blocked tracks it was returned to Beth
lehem and there was great rejoicing at
the narrow escape of its occupants
from the catastrophe.

“THE FULL DINNER PA IL"
AN ARCUMENT HARDLY SATISFY
ING T 0 THE INTELLIGENT VOTER.
The American Workman *• Hot Atl Stom
ach—Ton Hilt Apprafto HU Brain to
Bet Hl* Vote—He U Anxloua About
Trust Oppression.
The tame Republican editors and
the Republican spellbinders ia 'un
counted numbers are talking to the
American workmen at present about
“the full dinner nail,” and about noth
ing else, ,
One very tame editor, a sail-eyed
comic editor, puts a picture of the al
leged full dinner pail on every png#
his paper.
We are informed that the National
Republican Committee proposes t#
adopt the full dinner poll as • trade
mark for the whole .campaign.
A full pail is au excellent
thing, but we humbly submit that for
au entire campaign it is hardly an ar
gument satisfying to the intelligent
working voter. *
If Mr. Hanna were scheming tojpY
the votes of eighty millions of hog. l
would of course do well to devote
of his newspaper space and all of
political speeches to the beauties ui
“the full swill trough.”
But the American workman does uoti
devote all of his thoughts and hopes
and ambitions to his stomach.
If au intelligent voter, native or for
eign born, goes to Mr. Hanna.to ask:
“What are you goiug to do for me if
I give you my vote?”
Mr. Hanna replies:
“I ant going to till your stomach and
keep It full for four years. I am
going to give you a dinner pall so
•lieaty that it will make your arm ache
to drag it to the factory. Does not
that make you happy?”
Mr. Hanna and many other Repul*-
licau men of power have got into the
habit of looking upon a mere work-*
man as they look upon a mule plodf
ding along the canal bank.
they know that if the mule has a
full. stomach, a full uose-bag, that
mule is happy. They can’t under
stand that a man so low down in the
world as to lie working for a living
should as • for anything better than
the full nose-bag which satisfies the
uaule.
he American workingman wants a
full dinner pail, of course.
But in the first place he knows that
tin:. full dinner pail he lias got
~M- will owe the conte'uM4 ‘ iFk-—UUtl.ihat
)pail to his own swuuf anff muscle, and
to no plutocrat's kind heart.
r rhe full dinner pci!" is not such a
L tiful trade mark as the Repnbli
catiy 'jnagiuc. The workman sees in it
otliet things thiui the means of filliug
Ills stomach. On the outside of that
dinner pail shine the Tin Trust and
the tin tariff—butL Republican—which
make the pail <• uskg.nore than it ever
did before.
Inside the pail in that separate corn
part tmuTUrt served for LCa or coffee 1 he
Republican Sugar Trust and the Re
publican Milk Trust if ave their little
nests of profit. *
In the body of the fail Mr. Armour'#
Meat Trust gets its share.
The American workmen says: “Y'ou
offer me a full stomach. Very kind of
you. but give me a chance to work on
a fair basis, give me freedom from
trusts tlu.t discharge thousands and
put up prices: give me freedom from
Kepuolican lock-outs like (hat which
fnow starves melt and their families in
(Chicago; give me a chance to live and
Avork as a free man iu a free country

Further than this, the American
workman s.*ys: “1 don't like to be
