ATCHIsON, Kan, March 27.-Two Gen.
trail Branch freight trains collided while
running at high rate of speed mile
west of Centralia Tuesday evening. En-
gineers John Steele and Eugene Clark,
both of this city, together with their
firemep. jumped and were uninjured.
The engines dashed together and ten
freight cars piled up on top of them,
making a very bad wreck. Both the
engines are in very dilapidated con-
dition and must be entirely rebuilt.
Only four of the freight cars were
loaded and they were all the property
of other roads. The collision was due
to the failure of the telegraph operator
at Corning to notify the west bound
train to sidetrack at Centralia for the
east bound train. which was an extra

for the road, which is crowded with bust

Other eminent authorities say the main

KANSAS ALLIANCE.


C1Ooe OF the COnfefenco-Whot tho Alliance
Men Demand.
TOPEKA, Kan, March 27.-The con,
ference of county presidents of the
Farmers Alliance, after . two days ses-
sion, adjourned last night Among the
most important demands agreed upon
was that for immediate relief from the
usury law, and strong protest against
alien ownership of land. A resolution
was passed declaring it to be the sense
of the Alliance that it was not conducive
to the best interests of the people to call
a special session of tho Legislature, in
asmuch as no relief can be had by the
enactment Of a redemption law.
The Alliance declares in favor of .
constitutional convention; relief can be
had only by constitution of the peo-
pie. for the people and by the people Of
the State.
The Kansas Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress are urged to sup
port measure similar to the Stanford
bill, which provides for loaning money
to farmers on real estate security in
stead of having to secure the same
through National banks:::that the State
should secure the Government and the
counties should secure the State. 1t was
also resolved tnaC the governments Oulo
expend the surplus and place it in the
hands of the people whore it belongs.
One Of the objects expected to be ac-
complished is the building of double
track railway from Colorado to some
point east Of the Mississippi river, with
view to its final construction to the
Atlantic seaboard and the Gulf of Mex
leo. The cost Of constructing this road
should be made the basis on which fares
and freight rates on all other roads
shall be based. The Alliance invites the
cooperation of all other organizations
in carrying out the objects of these reso-
lutions.
The Kansas Congressional delegation
is censured for proposing impracticable
legislation in behalf of the old soldiers
A resolution was adopted requesting
President Clover to appoint member
from each Alliance district to look after
the interests of the farmers.
The State organizer reported 9, 900 Al
1iances in the State, and new ones being
organized SO fast that it is almost inn
possible to keep track of them. There
are over 100, 900 members in the State
to-day. The business of the State Ex-
change was reported as very satisfactory,
supplies being purchased for all the sub
alliances in the State.
