of vostibulcd Pullman oars, throe
sleeping oars, a day ooaoh, conibina
tion smokor and baggago oar, and a
mail oar, and was drawn by ono of tho
now Atlantio typo of onginoa. The
smoking oar was complotoly telosoopod
by tho stool mail car ahead, whioh
went through it as if it were paper,
tearing, crushing, uiaiming and carrying

The soono of tho wrook is on a sharp

Hows tho Shonando rivor, on tho othor

running two hours late, and tho aooidont

After tho terrible, orash tho unin

It was fioveral hours, howovor, beforo
tho victims had boon removed and

Tho injured woro placed in a spcoial

THE SHIP SUBSIDY STEAL
Senator Mclaurin Advocates Mark
Hanna's Pet Scheme
u*v -1 i- i i *?
?? uvu,ixi? snip suDBiuy Din earno up
in the 11 n > t?" il States ^onato Thursday
Senator MoLaurin, of this Stato, an*
nouuetd his intention of voting tor it
and Senator Morgan, of Alabama, op
P' s^d it in vigorous ianguago. Mr.
Mchaurin spoko in support of tho bill,
basing his his advocacy of tho measuro
upon tho theory that tho pa-sage of it
vould benefit the cotton growing inter
! ?>ls of tho southern Stutos. Ho cited
t) e ?c ion of the South cm (Jot* on Spin
iters association at Cliarlotto, N. (J., in
urging legislation of tho character purposed
in tho pending bill. Ho contended
also that anything that would stiniulato
Aiucrican shipping would bontit
not only tho cotton intorosts but all
other agricultural interests. Tho resolutions
adopted at Charlotte, he said,
typify tho sentiment of the cntiro Houth
and propago a return of the old prostigo
and prosperity of that seotion. Mr. MoLaurin
referred to the effect of the
Civil war upon tho south and said tho
time had oomc to put asido tho animosities
aroused by that struggle and tako
up tho iutcrcsts that wero characteristic
of the old south.
Mr. Mallory said in reply to Mr. MoLaurin
that his opposition to tho bill
was based upon the opinion that it
would not do what it profossod to do
in aiding tho Amoricau shipping.
MORGAN AT THE HAT.
Mr. Morgan then spoke for fivo
hours.
Mr. Morgan urged that tho shipping
bill ho oomnmtcd to tho oommitteo, to
bo rceaBt in order that its constitutional
and other impcrfcoticns might bo
oorreotcd. He said it was now boiDg
considered not on its merits but as a
party measure.
"A measure cannot become a party
moasuro," suggested Mr. All'flon of
Iowa, "until wo know what it is. As it
! stands before us now it is merely tho
measure of tho oommitteo and is sub
jeet to suoh amoudmcnt and ohango
as the senate may dotermiuo."
Mr. Morgau expressed tho opinion
that tho American ship yards now,
wihout any assistance, wore the host
in the world.
"Do you not think," asked Mr. Halo,
"that if the naval ships built in our
yards wcro put to the tost of aotual
ooDfliot thoy would prove themsolvcs
to bo the best ever oonstruotod ' '
"Thoy have proved that," roplkd Mr.
Morgan.
ItererriDg to tho o; mpetition likely to
ariso botween the Unitod States and
foreign nations, when this govornmont
should voto a subsidy to Amorioan
ships, Mr. Morgan declared it would
result in a commercial conflict between
the United States and great Britain
in which tho financial battorios of tho
two countries would be arrayed
against each other. Ho was inclinod to
think tho United States might bo
worstod in such a oonfliot bcoauso of
the immensely superior sea powor of
Great Britain.
Mr. Morgan pleaded for the adoption
of tho Clay amendment to the subsidy
bill authorizing negotiations for a
right of way for tho Nioaragun canal.
Muoh as ho opposod the shipping hill,
ho indicated a purposo not to oppose
it if tho Nicaragua amendment was
addod and provision made that congress
shoud havo power to repeal tho
shipping act at any timo.
Marriage of a Queen.
Wilholmina, tho first ruling qucon
of Holland, Thursday married Duko
Henry of Mecklenburg Sohworin, who
beoomes prince of tho N'othorlands by
proclamation in tho (Jourt Gazott Thursday
cvoning. The marriago was a series
of brilliant colored piotures. Hut tho
scvcro simplicity of tho Dutch form of
marriago, which was followed to tho
lettor in tho oivil contract before the
minister of justico, Dr. P. VV. A. Cort
van Der Linden, and in tho old fashioned
roligious sorvioo in Grooto Kcrk,
gavcit a democratic spirit.
Electrocuted.
Lorenzo Priori, who murdorod Yinoca
ziGaruzo, in Now York City, December
11, 1898, and a few wocko ago soourod
a stay of cxeoution by tho representation
that thoorimo was committed
by his wifo's brother, Jamos Saoarrdo,
was put to death iu tho clcotrio ohair
in tho state prison at Sing Sing Wednesday.
It roquirod two shooks to kill
him. Ho loft with tho priosts who attended
him a statement declaring his
innooenc 3.
Republican Anti-Trust Plank.
This tendency of trusts to inoreaso
in numhorand to raise prices is calculated
to show tho agriculturists an i
other classes of oonsumors how hollow
was tho auti trust plank in tho Philadelphia
platform, and ought to oouvineo
those among thorn who voted the
Republican tiokot that they demrvo to
he disciplined by an automat c kicking
machine.
Paying tho Piper.
Karl Roberts says he will nood every
soldier in Sculh Africa for the noxt
twclvo months and will ask the houso
of oommon for $350,000,000 during tho
onsuing financial year, in addition to
what has already bcon votod for the
war. And yet Kogland has 1,003,005
paupors to support by publio taxation.
Kvidontly tho Kritinh statesman has
something to think over just now.
Don't Like Fat Friars.
The news from tho Fhilipiots is
that tho nativo Catholios in tho disIriotof
itinondo in Manila aro ditaMs
fiod and threaten to separato from tho
chureh. It isexplainod that thoy have
no gricvanoo against tho church itself,
but to tho friars?the fat friars, it is
presumed, though not of tho Mark HanI
na stripe.

How tho Angel of Death mutt have
sunkd last Saturday at that array of
power as reprcHonted by thoso cuiporors,
kings and prioocfl who followed tjuoon
Victoria's remains lo tho last resting
place There they woro, two emperors,
live kings, more than half a hunirod
I rinocs, innumerable dukes, carls,
lords, etc , matching behind that one
little e< tlin. And there was tho Angel
of Death also. There tho oombined
represot'i ativoi of all earthly power and
gloiy. Tl.cro tho unseen monarch of
thciu all, to whoso mandato that prit only
array areas much subj etas tho
humblest vassal is to their own; to
whom book and call they must lay a-ido
all earthly trappings, throw otl the taw
dry oro.vn and robe of oflioo and no
hence, as humble as the lowliest of
their own subjects. For as some ono
has said, at tho grave all men aro equal.
How llimsy a thing scrtns kingship,
all earthly powor and display when
brought faoo to face with tho Angel of
Death. It is as some great maj.'Htio
ship whofio great proportionfi and woo
dcrful oonntruotion oxeito admiration,
and oven amazement, yet which, in tho
fury of tho gale ifi picked up, loused
about ltko a ship in a mill raoo, its
masts stripped off as if they were straws
and the wholo finally broken in two
and thrown to the bottom of tho oooan,
an a child might chunk a pobblo into a
tub of water.
All things seem great or auiall by
ocntraHt, out tho great ships that go
down to the floa aro not more at tho
mercy of tho storm nor moro incignificant
in its fury than tho grcatoHtof
king and <picoriH nnd princoH and lords
