going south collided with a freight train
going north, about three-fourths Of a
mile south OF Upper Alton station, tele-
scoping the baggage car and first coach
of the passenger train. Almost in
stantly after the trains struck the wreck
took fire, and the baggage car and first
coach were entirely destroyed. Four
persons were killed and eight wounded,
aud several seriously wounded. The
blame rests upon the conductor of the
freight train, as he was behind time.
The night bound express going south,
due at Upper Alton station at 6.9 A. NJ,
and the northward bound freight train
due at Upper Alton station at 5:45, and
the place OF meeting was at Woods
station, three miles and a half north.

at Alton to-day, five were killed and
thirteen wounded. The names of the
killed are as follows: Joseph Treissia,
Mrs. Reuben Rains, and three other

W. Barren, leg broken; Fred Bugle, OF
St. Louis, badly burned; F. Graves and
c. Foss, severely bruised train boy

The baggage car and the first coach
took fire Immediately after the collision
The shock was very severe, jamming
the seats together and wedging the pas
sengers in so that axes had 10 be used |
to extricate them. Mr.. Graves tried |
hard to save Mrs. Rains, pulling her
clothes nearly off in his endeavors, but
she was so jammed in that it was impOs.
sible to save her, and she was burned
to death. The responsibility is said to
rest with the conductor OF the freight
train who was running out OF time, and
when he saw that a collision would |
take place he jumped from his train
and ran away from the scene OF the
disaster. An inquest will be held to.

New YORK, February THE Mai
has the following foreign advices:
BRRLly, January 20.-The travelling
railway carriage intended as gin from
the United Railway Company OF Ger.
many to Prince Bismarck, has been
delivered, and has ELECTED a grateful
acknowledgment from the Imperial
Chancellor.
In consequence OF numerous petitions
which have reached the Imperial Chan
cellor from Alicia, demanding exemption
from compulsory military services or
a postponemento OF the conscription, the
Cabinet has reconsidered the subject in
a special sitting 1t was resolved to
adhere TO the original plan, according to
which the first recruits will be levied in
the autumn of the present year. The
number OF recruits 10 be levied has,
however, been reduced, and Prince Bis
marck will instruct the authorities 10
proceed with moderation and leniency.
WARSAW, January 2O.-The proposed
Judicial reform in the Kingdom OF
Poland has been deferred another year
for unknown reasons; otherwise the
Russianzstion OF Poland progresses and
is delayed only by the want OF Russian
employees TO take the places vacated by
the Poles, to establish harmony even
in trlflels. 1t is deemed that the pos
tillions shall no longer use horns and
trumpets for signals but bells
attached TO the horses, as in Prussia
Numerous cases OF mourning stnils have
been seized on the frontier, because
they were meant TO be worn at dem
onstration in commemoratlOn OF the
First Division Of Poland in l7I2.

CHICAGO, January 9.-Some twenty

attitude OF the British press on the

CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON, February I.
SENATE.

Mr.. Conkling rose to make persona
statement, and had read from thu
clerks desk an editorial paragraph
from the Chicago Tribune, charging
that in the debate on the resolution to
fix the final adjournment he dis
turbed the Senate by loud cries o.
question" question" and afterwards
had them excluded from the Globe re-
ports. He said he would not notice the
statement if it concerned merely
himself, but as it was also an
attack upon the official record of the
Senate proceedings. the only protection
the Senate had against the misrepre'
sentations Of certain journals, he
had thought it worth while to obtain
the testimony of the official report
ers as to what part he did take in the
debate in question. He then had read
a note from D. F. Murphy, the chief
Of the official reporters, denying that
Mr.. Conkling interfered in any way
with the report and stating that nothing
had been Intentionally omitted by the
reporter.
Mr.. Hamlin, who was charged BY
the Tribune with having suppressed his
suggestion that the Senate should sing
Old Hundred before voting on an
amendment offered by Mr.. Sumner,
explained how the omission was made,
and said he made the suggestion as a
rebuke to Mr.. Sumner for having made
an agitation which he thought bit OF
legislative buncombe.
Mr.. Sumner said that this remark
was no worse than the original sugges-
ton on the annual pension bill which
was passed with amendments appropri-
ating over thirty million dollars.
Mr.. Chandler offered the following
which was adopted:
ResoLved, That the committee of In
vestigation and Retrenchment be direct.
ed to inquire whether any United States
Senator has received money under the
cover of counsel fees or otherwise, from
the Treasury OF the United States, in
violation of law, and to report the re-
suit Of their inquiry as early as practi-
cable.
The amnesty bill was then taken up.
The pending question was on Mr.. Car
penter's substitute for Mr.. Summers
civil rights bill.
Mr.. Sumner called attention to the
difference between the substitute and
the original, and urged the Senate to
support the latter as it was more COM
prehensive and complete than the sub.
stitute.
Mr.. Ferry, OF Connecticut, said that
for three years he had been trying to
get a vote of the Senate for the removal
Of all political disabilities. When the
time had come when a bill for that
purpose might be passed, an attempt
was made to !assassinate it by pyoposing
german to the bill but were its uessS
lest enemies. The bill, if hampered
with by either of these amendments,
must surely fall.
After considerable debate Mr.. Car
substitute for Mr.. Summers
was rejected-yeas II, nays

The American Claims.

The World makes the following esti-
mate of the modest bill handed 10 the
Geneva Conference 10 behalf OF the
United States
|. For the destruction Of vessels and
property belonging to the Government
OF the United States, S25 900.
II. For the destruction OF merchant
vessels, Sargoes and property sailing
under the flag of the United States,
$l7,90O,633.
III. For other damages or injuries to
persons, growing out Of the destruction
of each class Of these vesSl.
In respect to this item the case
says it is impossible at present for the
United States to present a detailed
statement, but the amount OF claim
cannot be less than hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, and possibly millions
OF, f,dollars, on account of hardy, helpless
seamen and their families
". For national expenditures in
pursuit of the cruisers, s. ,0SO,4IS.
V. For loss in the transfer OF the
American commercial marine TO the
British flag.
In respect to this item the United
States ask the arbitrators to estimate
the amount which ought to be paid to
them after we submit statistics in
respect TO our tonnage before and after
the rebellion.
VI. For enhanced payments OF in.
surance by citizens Of the United
States, so far as now known, 81, 100, 795.
VII. For prolongation Of a civil war,
the addition Of large sum to the cost
thereof, and of the suppression of the
rebellion.
As to this item the United States
clam that after the battle Of Gettys-
burg offensive operations by the insur
gents were conducted only at sea,
through the Anglo Confederate cruisers
with the hope OF Involving this country
in a war with Great Britain, and that
the latter ught in equity to reimburse
the United States for the expense there
by entsiled upon them
VIII. Interest upon all the claims
up to the day when the award is pays
bic by the terms OF the treaty, which is
twelve months after the date OF the
award at the usual rate of interest IN
the city OF New York, where most o.
the claims OF individuals are held
which is seven per cent per annum.
The United States claim that interest
should be computed from an average
day, say July l, 1868.
According to the foregoing statement
so far as it goes, the figures reach tht
sum of$26, l36, 800. 1t will be observed
however, in the reading Of the exhibi
that the amounts for damages or inju
ries to persons growing out OF tn,
destruction of vessels by the Confeder
ate cruisers, the loss in the transfer o
the American commercial marine to tn
British flag, the prolongatton of th
war, due to the continued otfenslv
q operations Of the Confederate privateer
after the battle Of Gettysburg, and inter
est upon all the claims up to the day
when the award is payable, according
to the terms OF the Washington treaty
and not enumerated in this schedule
The amount Of these claims will vastl,
increase the American demand.
