The Accident,

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 1.-The Crash
damn publishes further details of the
accident to the imperial train in South
Russia Monday. 1t says not one of the
engines first left the track, but the massive
car occupied by the minister of ways by
swerving shattered the preceding and the
following cars. The flooring of the car
riage occupied by the car and czarina col
lapsed and the occupants were thrown
upon the track. The Grand Duchess
Olga and the Grand Duke Michael were
in the next car and were thrown out upon
the track and covered with debris. They

was standing near his master and was
killed.

Gen. b Better.

SPRINGFIELD. o., Nov. 1.-The muir
derous assault made last midnight on
Gen. A. S. Bushnell has been the all
absorbing topic of conversation to-day.
The generals condition was changed a
little during the day. His injuries are
not considered fatal, but his surgeons
have enforced absolute quiet and freedom
from excitement. It is feared that his
face will be badly disfgured.
Governor Foraker and many others
called during the day to inquire as to the
generals condition and a message of sym
patty was received from General Harri-
son. Mrs. Bushnell returned a reply of
thanks and expressed the hope that her
husband will be able to get out to vote for
the general Dext Tuesday.
The Republican central committee has
offered a reward of S 1000 for the arrest
and conviction of the persons engaged in
the assault and the city and county 81 900
reward each.

These men were also instructed to
have these tickets voted by electors who
might be bought on election day by Dem
ocrats, but afterward this part of the
scheme was abandoned temporarily for
fear the Republicans might watch the
operation of the plan, and so the party
receiving the instructions was told to get
the better class of Democrats to cast these
ballots, for they would not likely be
watched 50 close by Republicans.
These instructions have been given to
parties all through the state and in order
to encourage them they were told that the
same plan was to be operated in New
York. 1 have accordingly advised our
friends IL New York to be on their
guard"
The balance of the statement partakes
of the nature of party instructions regard
ing the subject.

The Whalers Safe

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 2.-The steam
whaler Brasher arrived from the Arctic
this afternoon and brought information
that thirteen whalers, with their crews of
about 500 men which we're caught in the
ice pack the last of September, were safe
Oct. 2. After the vessels had been I'M
prisoned nine days a gale sprung up and
the ice began to break. The whaling cap
tains took the first opportunity to release
their vessels and in a day or two all were

HUNTINGTON, Ind, Nov. 2.-Senator
John Sherman made his second speech Of
the campaign in Indiana at this place this
afternoon. A steady rain beginning in
the early morning made the prospect of a
good meeting rather dismal, but the peo-
Die came through the rain and mud until
the crowd numbered in the neighborhood
of 10000. A parade in the rain, taking
about an hour to pass the rink was one of
the features. Senator Sherman was en-
Enthusiastically cheered when he arose to
speak.

The Murch1son-West Letter. .

AS AANA Sob b
Los ANGELES. Nov. 1.-The Times of
this city, the paper that first printed Lord
Sackville's letter to the Pomona Enquirer,
publishes what the editor claims are the
real facts connected with the Murchison-
West correspondence. Says the Times:
Information has been gathered directly
from a few persons who are on the inside
and possessed of all the facts in the case
that the idea of writing the letter to Min
lister West originated with Murchison
himself in the latter part of August or
early in September. He is a reputable
citizen OF Pomona in this county of Eng-
ljsh %parentage. He consulted confidential
friends in the preparation of the letter.
Murchison said at the outset and before
sending the letter that the object was not
to perpetrate a joke or crafty curiosity,
but to get Minister Vests opinion on the
topic embraced in the letter.
Murchison's letter was dated Sept. 4,
and Vests answer Sept. 43. The minis
ter's letter was received at Pomona Sept.
20, and kept by the receiver till Oct. 10,
a full month, when it was brought to Los
Angeles by W. A. Bell, an attorney of
Pomona, and lail j. before w. p. Fitz-
gerald, a member of the state Republican
committee, Henry j. Gage, delegate at
large to the Chicago convention, Harrison
Gray Otis, the editor of the Los Angeles
Times, and one other local candidate.
They saw Vests letter was important in
a political point of view, and it was unan-
imously determined by the persons pres
ent to make the letter public without
delay, which was done, the date of the
first publication being Oct. q.

publicans have continually made fac
tious opposition to the consideration Of
revenue measures, and their opposition,
with that of few hostile Democrats,
has thus far proved effective.
There has been all the time press
ing demand for a reduction of duties,
and the need for such reduction has
been recognized by Republican Presi-
dents and Republican Secretaries of
the Treasury. In order in measure
to appease the popular clamor sham
tariff reduction bill was passed by the
Republican Congress in 1883. The
measure was unsatisfactory from the
beginning. 1t was passed originally
in the interests of the protected in.
and it was still further ma
nipulated in the same interest in con-
ference between the two houses.
Compromises between Senate and
House were effected in number of
instances by raising the duty beyond
hat agreed to by either house. The
effect of the measure and its sham
character has been but to intensity

reduction of war tariff taxa
ion and correction of the manifold

streets were blown to the ground. In
a moment the whirling cloud arrived
at the town and it could be seen dip
ping down here and there and tear
ing off house roofs. and then rising
higher into the air again like sway.
ing balloon, it would float along
with lightning-like rapidity, but
soon swoop down again upon the de-
fenseless little town in another spot,
raising the houses and trees, licking
the sides of buildings and tearing
great holes in them and leaving de-
vastation along every part of its
course. As the cloud would dip
down and rise again it would carry
trees upward into the air and throw
them to the ground with mighty
force a hundred yards away. Parts
Of house roofs, trees, boards, bricks,
with all kinds of debris, were flying
through the air at a fearful rate, and
eft piled in incongruous heaps along
he track of the cloud. The pas
'engers of our train were frightened
md veritable panic ensued. Wom-
IN screamed from fright and rushed
nto the arms of their husbands and
'scorts for protection. The cloud dip
,ed down on the north side of the train
nd demolished a house, but just be-
ore it arrived at our position it arose
nd passed over us with magical
witness and dropped down on the
arth to the south of the train, where
completely destroyed another build
ng and passed on to the town in its
york of destruction. Thus you can
ee that our train had miraculous
scape."

The Saginaw Board of Trade an

The Saginaw Board of Trade and
a number Of persons interested in
the manufacture of salt, have petition
ed Congress not to remove the tariff
off salt. A part of the memorial has
the following piteous wall:
LET II cents per hundred pounds
now paid be expended in paying ad-
ditional freight, and foreign salt will
food the markets of Buffalo, Cincin-
natl, Chicago, st. Louis and Kansas
City. She will press the products OF
Liverpool, Turks Island and Canada
upon our markets, and will not rest
until the ruin she has worked with
the salt makers Of Louisiana and
West Virginia, she brings to those OF
New York, Ohio, and Michigan, and
they find themselves like their broth
ers near the seaboard, victims Of the
need and greed of England"
After telling the above terrible
story of the wreck and desolation of
the salt manufacturing industries Of
this country, to be caused by the re-
moval of the twelve cents tariff tax
on one hundred pounds, the petition
ers seemed to have thought tkat they
had disparaged sufficiently their own
ability as salt manufacturers, and
they inserted the following wonderful
declaration:
There is no better salt made in
the world than in Michigan, and we
challenge the world to the test. 1t is
to-day sold in bulk in Saginaw for
less than Englishmen pay for salt in
Liverpool. Two hundred and eighty
pounds of standard salt, packed in a
barrel costing 20 cents. may be bought
for sixty cents, or at the rate Of seven
pounds for a cent"
The salt men are not wise when
they submit such statements as the
above. If they manufacture the best
salt in the world, as they boast, and
can sell Michigan salt cheaper to the
people here, than the English manu-
facturer can sell British salt in Liver
pool, how can the removal of the salt
tariff tax injure their business? Do
they think the Michigan people are
such fools as to buy an inferior Eng
lish salt at greater price than Mich
igan salt can be bought for? 1t is
not likely. The Michigan buyer
would buy Michigan salt, even if the
tariff was removed, because the man.
ufacturers say it is equal to the best
in the world and cheapest. There
fore according to the salt mems own
statement, the removal Of the salt
tariff tax would not iniure Michigan
salt industries. The salt manufacture
ers, in their own petition, make a
statement that is certainly a very
damaging one as regards the contin-
uance of protective tariff.

A reduction or repeal of the tax
on wool would lead to vast expan-
