TRAIN ORDERS WERE MISSREflD. Two EngineO Crash Into Each Other and Telescope Tenders and Passenger Cars—Wreck Was Complete. By a head-on collision between two passenger trains on the Lehigh Valley railway at West Dunellen, N. J., at 12:47 p. m., Monday, thirteen persons were killed and over twenty-five in¬ jured. The dead are: Martin Keenan, W. .1. Hinkel, Jacob Hesler, H. E. Wei- kell, Frank richer, William H. Lead¬ er., Frank Markel, Theodore Kochn, Abner S. Keifer, William H. Markel, James Jarvis and two women who are still to be identified. West Dunellen is three miles from Boundbrook, and about thirty miles from New York city. At the spot where the disaster occurred there is a sharp curve in the Lehigh Valley tracks, and a steep cutting, but the accident was due, in the first place, to , 'some-tmible mistake in train orders, and in the second place to another ac¬ cident that occurred at Boundbrook earlier in the day. The scenes which accompanied the collision, sufferings of the injured and the panic that reigned among the 400 passengers were well nigh indescrib¬ able. The blood-stained wreck of tangled and twisted iron and wood bore witness to the truth of the gen¬ eral verdict of railroad men—that it was one of the worst collisions in re¬ cent years. Train No. 20, which left Shnmokin, Pa., at 7 a. m., was so heavy with human freight that it had to be broken into three sections, The first two sections arrived at Boundbrook and switched over to the other track, switched hack at New Market and reached New Yo. in safety. The- third section of this train was almost an hour late. Its seven cars, crowded with 400 excursionists, most of them from Mount Carmel and Shamokin, Mahoney City, Hazelton, Ashland and Fottsville, Pa, The party was traveling under the auspices of the business men’s excur¬ sion, an annual event which many pat¬ ronize for a three days’ visit to New York. Their train switched over at Boundbrook and proceded, like the preceding sections, on the west bound track. Meanwhile there had been waiting at New Market a local train that plies regularly between New York and Boundbrook.

A Washington special says: The resolution introduced, Thursday, by Mr. Hoar calling upon the president, if not in his judgment incompatible with the public interest, to communi¬ cate to the senate the instructions he had given the commissioners who ne- gotiated the treaty of Paris, the cor- respondence which had passed be¬ tween him and the department of state and the commissioners and the reports made by the commissioners either to him or to the department of state, was laid before the senate early in the session Friday. Mr. Davis, one of the commission¬ ers, and chairman of the committee on foreign relations, moved that the re-o- iution be referred to that committee. Mr. Hoar: “Mr. President, I object to such a reference of the resolution. It seems to me that the senate ought to have the information called for by the resolution, if in the judgment of the president it would be proper to communicate it. I hope the motion will be defeated. ” Mr. Davis: “I hope the motion will prevail.” After a little debate in which Mr. Hoar, Mr. White, California, and Mr. Allen, Nebraska, brought out the fact that the call on the president for infor¬ mation was not mandatory, and Mr. Da¬ vis said that not to refer the resolu¬ tion to the committee in charge of the matter would be unprecedented. The latter invoked the rules of the senate and had the doors closed for an execu¬ tive session. In the secret legislative session of the senate the proceedings continued on the same lines as in the open ses¬ sion, the senate finally agreeing with¬ out a division to the resolution calling for the instructions. At 12 ;35 p.m. the senate,reconvened in open session, and Mr. Platt, Con¬ necticut, secured the adoption of a resolution calling upon the secretary of the interior for information con¬ cerning the cutting of dead and fallen timber on the Chippewa Indian reser¬ vation in Minnesota. Mr. Caflbry, Louisiana, then ad¬ dressed the senate on the joint resolu¬ tion offered by Mr. West, Missouri, declaring that under the constitution of the United States no power is given to acquire territory to be held and governed permanently as colonies. Mr. Caffery’s speech was a constitu¬ tional argument in support of the dec¬ larations of the resolution. He de¬ clared that the resolution went to the very root of the question of the power of the United States to establish per¬ manently governments in territories far distant from our own lands. He proposed, he said, to institute an in¬ quiry into the basic principles of the powers of this government. EXPLOSION KILLS NINE.

A lad was fm ml (lea d 30 0 yards from the scene j” of the disaster. A number of men and • 1 ' • &' The terrific force of the explosion may be judged from the fact that one of the huge plates of the boiler plung¬ ed through a building a quarter of a mile distant and that debris was hurled hundreds of yards in all direc¬ tions. The factory itself, which cov¬ ered several acres, was practically razed and all the dwellings aud shops in its immediate vicinity were to all intents and purposes wrecked and windows were shattered a mile away and telegraph and telephone wires were blown down on all sides. Distressing scenes were witnessed among the mothers, wives and other relatives of the employees. ORDERS WERE MISCONSTRUED. s *"‘ 1In « s»" tia s n Fun ' 1 * 1 to Havana w», >v r „, lfr Conduction.

Advices from Manila state that a second proclamation by Aguinaldo, bearing the same date as the one which immediately followed the proc¬ lamation of Major General Otis, based upon President McKinley’s instruc¬ tions, first appeared on the streets Monday, but it is alleged to have been recalled. Its terms are much more vehement than those used in the first proclama¬ tion. Aguinaldo threatens to drive the Americans from the islands, calls the Deity to witness that their blood will be on their own heads if it is shed, and details at greater length the promises he claims were made by the Americans as to the part of the insur¬ gents in the campaign. It is believed that this second procla¬ mation is the original draft which was not adopted by tbe Filipino congress at Malolos. The natives,it is reported,have been ordered not to work for the Americans, and the employes in the commissary department have gone on strike. Many natives are leaving the city. Major General Otis, however, has 'he whole situation thoroughly in hand. The situation is rapidly approaching a climax, and it is just possible that a peaceful solution will result. Mean¬ while all sorts of alarmist rumors are in circulation. The United States au- ’horities are taking every precaution; he troops in quarters are under arms, md the Californians have disembark¬ 'd from the transports. SOUTHERN PROGRESS. The New Industries Reported in the South During the Past Week. The new- industries reported for the past week, include among the more and important items a $30„ 000 brick works a $25,000 coal company in Vir¬ ginia; a $50,000 cottonseed oil mill in Texas; a $100,000 chemical and ferti- izer works in North Carolina; flouring mills in Arkansas and North Carolina; a foundry and machine shop in south¬ western Virginia; furniture factories in Alabama and North Carolina; gas works in West Tennessee; a glass fac¬ tory in Virginia; a hardware company in Arkansas; lead mines in East Ten¬ nessee and a mining company in Vir¬ ginia; a $10,000 paint factory in the latter state; shingle mills in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida and Texas; a com¬ pany to manufacture surgical instru¬ ments in Kentucky; a telephone ex¬ change in Kentucky, and a tobacco factory in Texas.—-Tradesman (Chat¬ tanooga, Tenn). SPANIAR1) PIQUES LUDLOW. Civil Governor of Havana Imagines He Is Still In Power. Senor Fernandez de Castro, the civil governor of Havana, acts as though he had his former power. He ordered the Hvgeia hospital to he closed. General Ludlow, the mili¬ tary governor of the district of Ha¬ vana, who had not been consulted in the matter, was displeased when he heard of the action taken, and direct¬ ed that the hospital be reopened. De Castro ordered the newspapers last week not to print certain business advertisements which were distasteful to him. They did not do so. General Ludlow will probably remove the civil governor. ALMAND DROUGHT RACK. Conyer*, Ga., Merchant, Charged With Swindling’, Return# From California. S. LaFayette Alroand, of Conyers, Ga., who is accused of having swin- died merchants and farmers in all parts of Georgia arrived at Atlanta Monday from Tulare, Cal., in charge of Detective Hewitt who was sent af- ter him some days ago. Hewitt and Almand were met at the train by several members of the local detective force. There were several friends of Almand’s nt the dejiot also. His old father was present to greet him. Almand refused to discuss his case, and asked that he be left alone. TRANSPORT WAS OVERCROWDED. Spanish Troop# Reach Home In « Wretch¬ ed and Deplorable Condition. The Spanish transport Notre Dame de Salut, which sailed from Havana on December 19th, for Barcelona ar- rived at the Spanish port Monday with 1,100 repatriated soldiers on board, The vessel was overcrowded and many of the troops were found to he ill ou the steamer’s arrival, NORTH CAROLINA LAWMAKERS Seek Some Important Changes In Present Affair# of State. A Raleigh dispatch says: Two bills have been introduced in the house of the North Carolina legislature requir¬ ing all railroads in the state to oper¬ ate separate coaches for white and col¬ ored passengers. One of the bills is an exact copy of the law now in force in Tennessee and which has been declared constitu¬ tional. The other is similar to it except that it provides “that any first-class coach may -be divided into compart¬ ments, separated by a substantial par¬ tition in lieu of separate coaches.” A bill was also introduced in the house to amend the state constitution so as to provide that “all tho moneys arising from the taxation of the polls and property of the white people for public schools shall be appropriated to tbe support of the public schools of the white race, and all the moneys arising from taxation of polls and property of the colored race for pub¬ lic schools shall be appropriated to tbe support of the public schools of the colored race.” The school fund is now proportion¬ ed according to population, the ne¬ groes getting as much per capita ns the white people, though they pay about ten per cent of the taxes. CONDEMNATOKY RESOLUTION Introduced In the Tennessee legislature Relative to Pensioning Confederates. A resolution has been introduced in the Tennessee house of representa¬ tives relative to the pensioning of Confederate soldiers. After referring to President McKinley’s patriotic speech at Atlanta and Senator Butler’s pension bill, the resolution says: “We condemn and repudiate the ac¬ tion of Senator Butler. That it is the sense of the people of the south and especially the people of Tennessee, that we reserve it as a sacred right to care for our living soldiers and per¬ petuate the memory of our dead, and .we commit to no country, stato or per¬ son tho privilege of rehabilitating the memory of ‘those dead but sceptered sovereigns who will rule our spirits from their arms.’ ” BRYAN AT BANQUET. Duckworth Club at Cincinnati Give Kota- ble Spread, The Duckworth club, of Cincinnati, gave its annual Jackson banquet Fri¬ day night. This club has given many notable banquets, but the one mentioned was the most distinguished in its history, because of the presence of Col. Wm. J. Bryan. Democratic leaders from all over the state held conferences with him dur¬ ing the day, joining in the large re¬ ception given Colonel Bryan at the chamber of commerce at noon. Over 400 plates were turned at tbe Gibson house Friday night, and the decora¬ tions were elaborate. TROOPS AT CHARLESTON. Will Board tlio Transport Saratoga For Island of Cuba The first bntalion of the One Hun¬ dred and Sixtieth Indiana regiment left Columbus, Ga., Friday night over the Central of Georgia railway for Charleston, there to take the transport Saratoga for Cuba. As much as a week may elapse between the depar¬ ture from Columbus of the various battalions of the regiment,as the trans¬ port Saratoga will move all the regi¬ ment to the island, carrying a battal- ion at the time. ------ OBSERVED “KING’S HOLIDAY.” -- T’ 1 * citizen* of Havana Celebrate a Fixed Custom as Heretofore, A dispatch from Havana states that “King's holiday” was observed in that I’riday just as though the king reigned over Cuba.

LAST OF (AMI* POLAND, All Troop# at Knoxville, Tenn., Ordered to Savannah. A Washington dispatch says: The secretary of war has directed that the camp at Knoxville, Tenn., be broken up and that the 31st Michigan volun- teer infantry and all other troops now there go by rail to Savannah with a view to their transportation to Santa Clara, Cuba. FOUR KILLED IN WRECK. Disastrous Head-End Collision on Branch oftho Southern. Four dead, two injured, one of these, perhaps, fatally, and the loss of prop¬ erty of the Southern railway to tho amount of about $100,OOT), is tho re¬ sult of a wreck which occurred Sunday morning on the Knoxville and Ohio branch of the Knoxville division of the Southern railroad, one and one- half miles west of Elk Valley. The dead are: Engineer ,T. D. Maxey, Fireman Frank Iteaddy, colored; Brakoman Lonza Hoover, colored, aud Flagman W. A. Dillon. All of these were burned to death or killed underneath the ruins of three engines and a number of cars and coaches of the two wrecked trains. It is known that Engineer Maxey was burned to death in or beneath his engine. The injured are : Engineer Goff, Fireman George 4 Huskisson, badly burned and may die. The wreck occurred at 11:30 o’clock. It was a head-end collision, freight train No. 68, second section, aud mixed local train No. 3 met in an awful crash. Both of the trains were running at the rate of about thirty- five mileB per hour, and the accident occurred so that the trainmen were not able to jump and attempt to save their lives. No. 3 was running fifteen minutes late, having waited at Knox¬ ville for connection with a western train, and had the right of way. All the freight trains of the Knox¬ ville and Ohio division had boon 110- tified that the mixed train was on a late run, and the only cause for the accident that can bo given is that En¬ gineer Maxey, of the freight train, misread his orders. It would have been an ensy matter for him to have read the order telling that the passen¬ ger train was fifty minutes late, instead of fifteen minutes late. WANTS INCIDENT CLOSED. Senator Alien Says President Was Carried Away By Ills Feelings. M^Past if memorial from a camp confederate veterans of Ocala, Fla., protesting against the adoption of the proposition of Mr. Butler, ot North Carolina, to pension ex-confederate soldiers. In this* connection, Mr. Allen, of Ne- braska, said: “I believe a word on tbis subject is due at this point. I do not believe nartVth ^t' 0 "* / mr ! ,08e ° n th< ! s confederate veterans. I think the author of the amendment, like the President of the United States, was carried away by his feelings. In my opinion, though, too much attention is being paid to it. “It would have been injustice to tbe rank aud file of the Confederate soldiers to say that, , they ,, would ,, consider .. sen- . onsly any proposition to receive pen- sions. They have cared for themselves for a third of a century. They have cared for their cemeteries and for their “It seems to rne that the whole mat- ter can president'of be closed by saying that both the the Lhdted Statesand the author of amendment were carried away by their enthusiasm. In my judgment, speaking from the stand- point of a northern soldier, it is time to close this incident. It may he closed by the happy thought t at nil bitierness and sectionalism have been wiped out by tho late Spanish war.” NOMINATIONS CONFIRMED. Senate Act# Upon Selection# Made By the I* r euhlent. A Washington dispatch says: The senate, at Saturday’s session, confirm¬ ed the following appointments: J. D. Yeomans, of Iowa, to bo an interstate commerce commissioner; R. A. Mos¬ ley, Jr., of Alabama, consul at Singa¬ pore. Also a large number of post¬ masters and promotions in tho United States volunteers, including the caval¬ ry regiments. STEEL WORKS RESUME. Big Concurn At RIIdcfI«#horo, Ky., Placed On Solid Financial Footing. A dispatch from Middlesboro, Ky., states that C. P. Perry lias floated bonds for $300,000 on the W’atts steel plant at that place and the plant re¬ sumes at once. This is the largest basic steel works in the south and em¬ ploys in the neighborhood of Keveu hundred workmen. It was built in 4893 at a cost of $750,000, $1 PER YEA K. SHOT GUNS * BICYCLES.

A dispatch of Thursday from Havana says: General Miximo Gomez is, of course, a great ngure in the minds of the Cuban people, but the younger military men—men like Generals Ma- yia Rodriguez, Jose Gomez and Mario Menocal—are a little tired of his dom¬ ination aud are disposed to accept an arrangement with Ibo Americans with¬ out consulting him. Suggestions to this effect have been communicated to the United States administration, which, though well disposed toward General Gomez, is pleased to receive any and nil promi¬ nent Cuban gentlemen who are willing to discuss public questions. General Brooke has declined a pro¬ posal to send a special envoy into the woods to find General Gomez and to treat with him as an equal power in the island. But the junta patrioticn lias deputed Generals Betancourt and Cardenas to invite Gomez to reside near Havana and to give the Cubans the benefit of his council. They will start in a day or two for Jiuuguynbo, where he is. Gomez continues, in his correspond¬ ence, cautiously to criticise tho Amer¬ icans. La Libertad refers to a letter writ¬ ten to the junta, in thecourseof which Gomez says that he will not enter Havana unless at the head of the Cuban army. IN DEFIANCE OF COURT.

An amusing blunder was made by tbo Cincinnati police Wednesday night in the arrest of United States District Attorney Bundy. The mistake was not discovered un¬ til the police arrived with their victim at the station, when the joke Liriied embarrassing on the arresting officers.

FX-GOY. EVANS MAYOR OF HAVANA Fee’# Army Camp Inspected—Generals Wade, Butler and Cions leave Is¬ land For the United States. A special from Havana says: Twen¬ ty-five Cuban generals and chiefs met at Mariano Saturday to consider the position of the Cuban army. A document was drawn up for dis¬ patch to General Rodriguez, asking him to call a general meeting of offi¬ cers to take action first, upon the need of a sum of money to enable the offi¬ cers aud privates of the army to make a new start in life; and, secondly, with regard to the lack of respect shown to the Cuban officers by tho people of Cuba and the Americans. The latter matter has special reference to tho re¬ fusal of the municipal police to salute General Sanguilly and other officers. The meeting Saturday resulted in a three hours’ talk, criticizing but not disposition unfriendly to the Americans, and no was shown to assume an attitude of protest or opposition. On the contrary, a willingness to disband was expressed, provided money was forthcoming to give the men compos¬ ing tho Cuban army a new start. As one of those present put the case: “As the United States collects tho island revenues, we must look to the United States.” Surgeon General Sternberg, of the United States army, has inspected Major Gerhl Leo’s camp and found 91 of the 10,000 troops in the command ill. There was, however, not a,single case of yellow fever or smallpox. Major General Ludlow, military gov¬ ernor of the department of Havana, hns chosen John Gary Evans to suc¬ ceed the Marquis de Estaban, ns mayor of Havana, Major General Brooke will shortly direct the release of all political pris¬ oners in the island.

There were several side debates during the day. One of these brought out Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, in a speech of an hour on current political questions. Mr. Grosvenor outlined the plat¬ forms of the two parties, dwelling es¬ pecially on the low tariff and silver policies of the democratic and the pro- tective tariff aud gold standard policies of the republican party.
