fmIHTFUL HEAD-ON COLLISION
ON LEHIGH VALLEY ROAD.
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. Owing to the traffic all
going on one track it was almost an

SENATE demanded instructions
Given to Paris Peace Commissioners By
President McKinley.
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.

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

A SECOND PROCLAMATION
Issued By Atruinaldo, Couched Ill Move
Vehement Terms.
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

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.

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.’ ”

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.

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

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.

author of the amendment, like the
President of the United States, was

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- .

sions. They have cared for themselves
for a third of a century. They have
cared for their cemeteries and for their

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.

GOMEZ LOSING PRESTIGE.
Younger Element of Cubans FaVnr Work¬
ing* ith Americans.
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.

ARRESTED BY MISTAKE.

Attorney Bundy.

til the police arrived with their victim

TO CONSIDER THE PRESENT POSI¬
TION OF THE CUBAN ARMY.
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.

GROSVENOtt ON PROSPERITY.
Ohio Member# Causes Much Lively Talk
In the House.
The house of representatives v. as
engaged all day Saturday on the legis¬
lation of the executive appropriati -til
bill and completed it substantially as
reported except for the items for the
civil service commission, which went
over.
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.
