A RAILROAD HORROR.
Collision of Trains at full Speed.
Helpless Beings Burned to Death.

ALTON, Feb. THE passenger train going
to St. Louis on the Rockford, Rock Island and
St Louis railroad, due at Alton Junction at
$40 this morning, when about three-quarters of
mile below Upper Alton station, came in col
lision with freight train going north. The
baggage and first coach were telescoped and
then almost instantly took fire. The scene that
ensued was most appalling. The unfortunate
passengers were mostly caught between the car
seats, and egress from the car was nearly i'm
possible. The flames enveloped the ears almost
instantly, and the terrified passengers were left
to be roasted alive. Up to II a. m. the charred
and blackened remains of four victims had
been recovered and were lying in the snow wait
ing the corOner's inquest The names of the
killed as far as known are James Twessin and
Mrs Reuben Tweesn. The other bodies have
not been identified. Altogether four were kill
ed and thirteen injured very seriously The
working party are still busy at the wreck, and
more casualties may be reported. The freight
train should have side-tracked at the Junction,
but kept straight on. Baker, conductor of the
freight train, jumped off when the trains COL
lided and sought safety in flight. The whole
responsibility of the affair is thrown upon Ba-
ker. When the trains met Mr. Rains, his
Wlfe and child were sitting together, the child
between its parents. The collision forced
the seats together fastening them in the wreck.
Rains finally succeeded in extricating himself
although terribly burned, but all efforts to re-
lease his wife were unavailing. The child was
only rescued by great efforts. Thewounded are
now at Brighton. The dead were brought to
Alton where an inquest will be held tomorrow

WASHINGTON.
THE WASHINGTON TREATY.
The British Commissioners Understood
the American Views. o.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE position taken by
gentlemen closely connected with the admins
tration is that the British High Commission
perfectly understood the views of the American
High Commission in the negotiation of the
treaty of Washington, both from its terms and
the assertions in the protocol; and that, there
fore, our Government is altogether justified in
presenting the case as it has, claiming conse
queutial damages In case the board of arbi-
traitors shall not award a gross sum in satisfac-'
ton of the so-called Alabama claims, this Gov
eminent is willing to stand by the decision of
the arbitrators. 1t is known that though the
British Commissioners had full powers they fire.
quently consulted the home Government and
acted in accordance with its wishes in all they
did. 1t is officially asserted that if the claims
for consequential damages had not been pre-
scented and was not to be passed upon there
might be a complaint by the people OF the
United States that provision had been made for
partial settlement only of the differences be-
tween the two countries Such claim was,
therefore, presented for full settlement in the
interest of peace and to preclude future dis
putes This Government has not received the
text of the letter from Lord Granville to Gen.
Schenck, and, therefore, cannot take official &C
ton upon it. There is no probability whatever
that our Government will withdraw any part of
its statement of the case, but will leave the
British Government to pursue its own course
or the arbitrators to act in the premises accord
ing to the treaty stipulations; nor is it likely

10 me Editor Of the Press.
1t is coming to this, then, that a citizen Of
Portland is not to be allowed to vote upon 9
question of public interest except as property
first gives its CONSENT On Saturday evening
last the proposition was carried through the
lower branch of the City Council, that the peo-
pie of Portland be prohibited from voting upon
the question of further aid to the P. & o. r.
r. until the money of Portland shall give its ap-
proval! If the citizen is poor he shall have
nothing to say about this matter until his
wealthy neighbor vouchsafes his gracious as
sent! If half a dozen men own over half the
property of the city, they and not the hundreds
cerned in the public welfare, shall settle this
question! And it is even proposed to get the
sanction of the Legislature of Maine to this
monstrous proposition! No Legislature would
dare to give it. Do not poor men take part in
the decision of questions relating to the use of
the municipal resources for any and all purpos
es without first getting permission of the rich?
AS poor man, but citizen and a voter, re-
pudiate and scorn this motion of the plutocrats
1t is the labor of the poor that creates and sus-
tains the wealth of the rich. 1t is the poor
many that give houses and lands and stores
and shops their value. The people of Portland
intend to vote upon this question, whether they
be rich or whether they be poor, to vote upon it,
not because they are rich, or because they are
poor, but because they are men and citizens
AND while intending to accord in full measure
to property its rights they do not intend to
peg permission OF property to claim and exer-
else their own. L.

1t seems that our citizens have got to meet
the question just how far it is safe for the city
to go in loaning money to the various railroad
enterprises of the day. The city's liabilities in
this direction are already large and great in
crease of them is asked for. Our merchants say
the trade of the city demands the completion of
the Portland & Ogdensburg Road, and that
the city shosld take the borders ON its should
ers in order to escape loss on the investment al
ready made. The Portland & Rochester Road
also thinks it has strong case in favor of a
loan for its completion. Then comes the Port
land, Rutland and Oswego with request for
two and half millions more This looks like
piling it up rather strong. There must be a
limit to this use of the peoples money, and the
questions to be met are whether we have not al
ready gone far enough, and if not, where are
we to stop?-IrdnscTipt.
