charge OF the legislative work when the municipal

that the success OF the work Is due to the efforts
OF the mass OF the wide-awake Kansas women.
Mrs. Johns, who is fair representative OF these

Pennsylvania. She has made her home in Kan
sas for four years. She has engaged somewhat in
newspaper writing. She is direct in speech ana
woman suffrage Is firmly established In Kansas;
that the one municipal election held since the
effect In enforcing the prohibition law. In Kan
sas, the temperance question and the woman
suffrage question were closely united. Mrs. Johns
says the W. c. 7. u. and the woman suffrage as
sociation work together in harmony.
Rev. Anna Shaw offered the opening prayer, and
after hymn Mrs. Johns made a brief address,

GOSCHEN,S BUDGET PROPOSALS.
Details Of His scheme which are Criti.
cized by Business Men.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, March 2a-Some details or Goschen's
budget proposals are freely criticized. The pro-
posal TO tax securities TO the bearer is considered
unsatisfactory, as bonds would gradually be
stamped over and defaced. Business men ask
whether American share certificates, bearing
blank transfers, would have TO bear a tax, and
whether the United states will not put difficulties
In the way OF receiving certificates and bonds
which have been stamped, as the New York
brokers already do In case OF DETACHMENT. The
general opinion is the new tax will have the effect
OF driving some business from London to practi-
cally untaxed centers, like Amsterdam and Ant
werp.

CHICAGO March 2s.-The fast night express on
the Michigan Central Railroad, which leaves this
city at D. m, met with q serious accident last
night at crossing q little south Of Burnsides.
Toledo, wabash and Western freight train ran
into the rear sleeper on the passenger while under
full headway. Many passengers were injured
Several were seriously hurt, but IT Is not known
that any were killed Only few OF the names OF
those injured are known. The sleeper was de-
rallied and almost entirely demolished Several
cars on the freight train were telescoped The en-
gineer and fireman on the freight engine leaped
Just In time TO save their lives There Is a web OF
intersecting tracks where the accident occurred.
The Michigan Central has the right OF way at all
times, and neglect or this rule brought about the
collision The gates were down as usual and the
signal lights displayed. The express train was
crossing the tracks OF the Wabash and Western
when the freight train under a full head OF steam
broke through the gates and crashed into It. The
engine struck the sleeper directly In the middle,
nearly cutting It in two tore 1t from its couplings
and threw IL from the tracks. The engine was de-
rallied Three or four freight cars teiescoped and
piled upon It Meanwhile, thc passengers who
were buried in the wreck OF the sleepers were
shouting for help. The trainmen procured lanterns
and dragged from the wreck dozen passengers,
nve OF them severely injured and the Others badly
shaken up. None was fatally hurt. The names OF
two OF the wounded persons are c. C. Hogle, OF
Chicago, and Geo. A. Magoon, OF Muskegon. All
the eight passengers wounded otherwise were put
upon the express train, which proceeded within an
hour after the accident.
