Accident to a Night Train.

SPRINGFIELD, March T. The accident
to the train last night occurred upon the
Hartford, New Haven and Springfield
Railroad. instead of the Boston and NJ
bany, as stated. The employees Of the
train and the passengers that were in the
cars that went down the embankment
were hurled violently about from one side
Of the cars to the other. For a moment
the greatest CONSERVATION prevailed, and
TOR while it was supposed several had
been billed, but all that were made in
sensible came to and We're helped out of
the wreck. The bank is so steep and
high at this point that it was with the
greatest difficulty that the passengers
could climb up the embaukment, which,
with great effort, they succeeded in do
ing. The mail car took fire from the
stove, and a broken lamp, and was al
most instantly wrapped in flames The
fire spread SO rapidly that it was impossi-
Die to save anything. 1t was completely
burned, nothing being left but the trucks,
and the iron used in its construction.
The baggage-car broke through the ice,
one end touching the bottom Of the river
The smoking-car and passenger-cars fell
on their sides close to the baggage car,
but were not so badly damaged, though
considerably broken. The passengers
gathered around the burning mail-car and
kept as comfortable as possible until the
arrival Of the express train from New
York-about three quarters Of an hour
when that was stopped and they were ta..,ssr
to the Massasoit House and as comforta-
bly, cared for as possible, several physi-
clans being called on to dress their wounds
| The rail that was broken was on the river
side OF the track just south of the curve.
1t was broken short off, three pieces near
the end being only about two feet long.
| The train continued on its course and ran
nearly two hundred feet before plunging
down the embankment. All the passen-
| gers that were able left the city this morn
| ing, but several were unable to be re-
moved. Mrs. William Leonard of Chelsea,
who is still at the Massasoit House, seems
to be the most seriously injured, though
to what extent it is impossible to tell, as
she is injured internally. Admiral De
Roman of the English navy, who received
a scalp wound, went to New York this
morning. The passengers injured the
most severely were asleep at the time Of
the accident. They We're thrown head
first against the side of the car, and many
Of them received severe scalp wounds. A
large force went to the wreck this morn
ing and the track was cleared and put il
condition to be run before noon.

The Salt Monopoly,

The Washington correspondent of the
N. Y. journal of Commerce" REFERRING
to the operations of the Salt monopolists
at the Federal Capitol, shows very for
chilly the unreasonableness of their de-
mands. He goes on to say: after all
that has been said, the question is still
pertinent y what do the people of the
United States care for tho Syracuse Salt
Company? The census of 1870 shows
population of 80 ,000, 900 The consump-
ton Of salt was about &c, 900, 900 bushels
The duty collected was 81, 1913, 900. From
1851 to 1861 the average price of salt t
New York was % cents per bushel with
salt free or duty moderate. From 1862
to 1872 the average price of salt in New
York was 48 cents. The duty during this
latter time has been 10 cents per 100
pounds in bulk, "a cents per 100 pounds
in sacks. IT the high tariff raises the
price 20 cents bushel. the increase should
be exacted from the people for revenue
only. But the government only got 81
200, 900 of the 81 200 900 exacted by rails
ing the price 20 cents per bushel, and the
remainder, sc 900, 900, was paid, Indirect
ly, to the salt companies. How much
better it would have been for Congress to
have admitted salt free, and voted the sa It
companies direct subsidy OF SO 900 000"'

Admiral Polo, the New Spanish Minister
His Anti-Amercan Record r. Trouble
Looming up.
WASHINGTON, MARCH Z, 1S1

W ASHlNtrION, MARCH 4. 10
There is considerable gossip in diplo-
maticcircles respecting the coming change
in the Spanish Legation in this city Ad-
miral Polo Barnabe is expected to arrive
at New York on the 10Th or 2lSt inst. 10y
the steamer from Rio, bringing with him
all the members of his Legation There
is TO be complete change Of everything
Spanish at this capital. and new order
OF things Is to be begun by the old man
who is to be the new Minister The de
termination of the Spanish government to
change its representative at Washington
is no new thing. The recall Of Senior
Roberts and the appointment Of his sue
cessor We're made early in December, the
reported reconsideration of the change bN
the Spanish Ministry being only fent to
enable Admiral Polo to receive his orders,
turn over his command in South Atlantic
waters. and get TO Washington without
scandal So far as Senior Roberts is con
cerned, this action is regarded as a rebuke
to his policy in getting along amicablv
with Secretary Fish, and in official circles
here the change is believed to have been
made in an unfriendly spirit toward the
United States.
1nest ueSpatcueS nave repeatedly lore
Swallowed the spirit of unfrlendlness ex-
listing between the Spanish government
and our own, and it is generally under
stood that conflict between the two
countries has been averted SO long only
by the amicable diplomatic relations which
Roberts has managed 10 sustain with the
State Department. While both countries
have been looking for a cause OF war,
these two have always smoothed over the
difficulties of every situation. This, il is
asserted i'll well-ntormed circles here, has
given as much offence in Spain as il has
in the United States. The Spaniards are
dissatisfied with the Spanish American
Claims Commission. because it does not
include the claims Of SpaniArds in its ad-
publications, and to our government it has
proved failure, because it has been found
impossible to take testimony in Cuba.
Spain tancies she has many yther causes
Of complaint against us, and i, determined
to put an end to the era Of concession.
Polo will come here with an anli-Ameri-
can record, and pursue an anti-American
policy which can only result in a breach
between the two countries.

Important to Fishermen.

WASHINGTON, Marcn 8. The Secretary
OF The Treasury has issued circular to
collectors OF cus'oms, informing them that
as the season Of fishing on the coast of the
BrIush American possessions in our vicin-
lily IS approaching, it is considered impor-
1ant that fishermen OF the United States
Intending to pursue their business in the
vicinity mentioned. should be thoroughly
acquainted with the laws and regulations
governing the matter, in order to avoid
the loss Of their vessels and penalties tor
encroachments by foreigners upon the in
shore fisheries OF Canada The collectors
are therefore directed to notify such fisher
men that the provisions Of the treaty with
Great Britain, proclaimed July 4th. 1871,
relating to the fisheries. will not 90 into
effect until the laws required to carry them
into operati n have been passed by Con
gress the Parliament OF Great Britain
and the Legislature of Prince Edwards
Island, and to warn them that their bust
ness must be carried on subject to the re-
strctions existing at the time OF the ratif-
cation of the Treaty
The circular states that the fishermen of
the United States are prohibited from the
use of the in-shore fisheries. They NAV.

Officers, under the treaty, may go on

in three miles OF the coast of Canada and
stay as long as she may remain, and they
may examine the master under oath, and
if it be found that the vessel has been
fishing in waters prohibited, such officer
or officers may seize her without war
rant and proceed for a forfeiture of the
vessel, cargo and stores.
Any person opposing the officer will
subject himself to fine Of $500 and i'm

The Secretary states that there is reason
to apprehend that the Canadian authorities
will equip armed vessels to protect inshore
fisheries during the season Of 1872.

The subcommittee on Commerce of
the Senate-composed of Messrs. Kellogg,
Corbett and Vickers-had an extended
meeting on Saturday and discussed the

ton of steamships by section or otherwise
