from Chicago on the Cincinnati, Hamilton
& Dayton railroad due here at 7;1O p. m.

College Hill Junction tonight. Conductor
Wftherbee and a brakeman, whose name
has not yet been learned, were
instantly killed. John Wilson, su-
perintendent of the Metropolitan in
suraHce company, was also killed. Two
passengers were badly injured. The
engineer of the express supposed that the
accommodation was out of the "block" at
the rate they were running and he had
barely time to reverse his engine and with
his fireman jump to the ground before
they crashed into the train preceding them.
They were badly shaken up, but otherwise
uninjured. Three cars caught fire and were
burned up. General Superintendent Nelson
gave the following account of the accident:
The vestibule train was due here at ITO
and the accommodation at 7:05 The OPP
orator at Elmood signaled the express
train that the block was clear, and the train
proceeded on it's way. 1t was drawn by
Strong locomotive, in. charge of Engineer
Coakley and an experienced engineer in the

train reached College Hill Junction
it rounded curve, and the
engineer saw the accommodation short
distance ahead of him. Coakley Stacked up
the train and jumped and escaped with
slight injuries. Magee remained on the en-
gine until it struck the rear car of the ac-
commodation train, but was not hurt. The
express train was not damaged in the least.
and, with the exception OF Coakley, no one

Colored Men Of the Country Hold a
National Convention.
CHICAGO, Special.-The national conven-
ton of AfrO-American leagues was called
to order to-day by T. Thomas Fortune, ed
itor of the Age, of New York. Delegates
were present from twenty-one states and the
District of Columbia, but the delegates from
the State of Illinois more than outnumbered
all the rest. Altogether there were 200 col
ored persons in the theater when the pro-
ceedings commenced. T. T. Fortune was
chosen temporary chairman and addressed
the meeting. He said:
We are met here to-day, representatives
of 8, 600 600 free men, who know our rights
and have the courage to defend them. We
are met here to-day to emphasize the fact
that the past condition of dependence and
helplessness upon men who have used us
for selfish and unholy purposes, who have
murdered and robbed and outraged us,
must be reversed. We have been robbed of
the honest wages of our toll; we have been
robbed of the substance of our citizenship
by murder and intimidation; we have been
outraged by our enemies and deserted by
our friends. 1t is time to call halt. 1t is
time to begin to fight fire with fire. Ispeak
as an Afro Ameri can first, last and all the
time, ready to stab to death anv political
party which robs me of my confidence and
vote and straightway asks me what am
going to do about it,
In conclusion he urged the convention
to leave each local league free to pursue
such political course in its immediate COM
munity as the best interests of the race
seem to indicate. In national affairs the
league should not commit itself officially
to any party. C. J. Taylor, ex-minster to
Liberia, who came to Chicago to report the
convention in detail for number of pa
pers in the South, LEFT the city by an even
ing train. In an interview he declared the
proceedings were deprived of any practical
force by the absence of delegates from the
vitality interested in the race question. In
addition the leaders in whom the colored
population of the country had confidence,
and whose names are familiar to the public,
were almost absent to q man

LONDON, Specialize case of the earl OF
Euston against Mr. Parke, editor of the
North London Press for criminal libel in
charging that the earl was implicated in
the West end scandal, came up for trial in
the Old Bailey to-day. Sir Charles Russell,

Mr.. Parke had published a libel.
Mr.. Lockwood, of counsel for the defense,
in reply censured Sir Charles for withhold
ing the earl of Euston for cross-examina-
ton at the preliminary hearing until the
evidence for the defense had been given.
Mr.. Lockwood declared that the earl had
shirked going into the witness box, and
preferred to rely upon Sir Charles attack
upon the witnesses for the de-
Tense, who were necessarily tainted.
A coal dealer named O'Loughlin,
living twentyseven yards from Hammond's
house on Cleveland street; a railway porter
named Grinley, barman named o OLough-
lin, and Hannah VorgaD, residing opposite
Hammond's were called to identify the
earl of Euston as visitor at Hammond's.
After some hesitation, the earl OF Euston in
the meantime standing by, by Sir Charles
directions, they said they had seen him
enter the house on different occasions. Sir
Charles commented upon the hesitation
shown by the witnesses, and declared that
their identification of the earl
was valueless. John Saul testified
that in May, 1887, he met the
earl of Euston in Piccadilly and drove with
him to Hammonds house, where they COM
mittcd criminal action. The earl of Euston

An Address by Manitoba Member
of the Canadian Parliament.
OTTAWA Special.-In the senate to-day
Senator Boulton of Manitoba made an adj
dress in reply to thespeech from the throne.
He laid stress on maintaining friendly rela-
tions with the United States. He said the
government would solve the question agitat-
ing Canadian people with regard to Behring
sea this session. Hon. Senator Loughes
Calgary seconded the address. He de-
nounced the policy of Harrison's admins
tration with regard to Behring sea affairs.
He then described the treatment of Cana
dian sealers by the United States as unjusti-
fable The action was piratical. He
thought the matter of relief would shortly
he settled, thus obviating the neces-
sity of requesting England to eX-
ercise her power to prevent an
invasion of rights to which Canada is en-
titled to and which she will ever assert. Sen
ator Scott of Ottowa condemned the action
of both the British and Canadian govern
ments in the Behring sea matter. He had
as little hope of seeing the question settled
as he had tour years ago. Canada, he said,
could not hope to live on friendly terms with
the United States unless the fiscal lines
were removed and we have freer trade. Sen
ator Abbott, leader of the senate, said Eng
land had done everything in her power to
bring the Behring sea question to favora-
BILE conclusion. He promised that salts
factory solution of the trouble would be ar
rived at this session. Senators Power,
Haythorn and Wark also spoke, de-
nounclng the action of the United
States in Behring sea and urging
the government to demand an immediate
settlement consistent with national dignity.
In the house of commons speeches were
made in reply to the address by Mr.. Rufus
Pope, who seconded in an able manner.
Sir Wilfred Laurier, leader of the opposi-
ton, and Sir John Macdonald's (the
premier) speech was couched in very mild
terms throughout.

Mr.. Charles Chincholie, of the

every gesture, every movement OF the

Nothing could certainly be more
pleasing to Boulanger, says a letter to

abject misery compared to the pleasure
of being interviewed and photographed
at the same time. But let us, by all

General to have their say.

Then Chincholle explains the object
of his visit.

"You question me; we shall talk.
We shall try to forget Nadar while,
from time to time, he squeezes little

asking me? The possibility, for you,
to bring out sensational number,

of being ridiculous. But that does
not matter; | consent. have been
ridiculed so often that once more or
less is of no Importance.
NJ Chincholle then brings in Paul

his back and shakes hands with the

al to Chincholle, "let us light cigar
ette."

ing how much /, with all your friends,

Judge c. E. Flandrau was personally ac-
quainted with Mr. Blaine and was much
surprised to learn of his death, II am
somewhat believer in condolences, " said
he to PIONEER PRESS reporter last evening,
"Only a few moments ago ! was talking
about Walker Blaine and the very next
bit of news l hear is that heis dead" Judge
Flaudrau knew young Blaine when he
first came to-St. Paul in 1879, and during
the time he was in the law office of Hon. c.
K. Davis, About a year later he
formed law partnership with
Tilden R. selmes, son-in-law Of Judge
Flandrau, under the name of Selmes q
Blaine, and occupied an office on Third
street. Two years afterward Blaine went to
Washington and remained about year,
when he came to Chicago and opened law
office. During the administration of Presi-
dent Arthur he had commission to visit
South America, and upon his return he was
appointed United States attorney before the
commission appointed to adjust the French
spoliation claims, Judge Flandrau speaks
very highly of Blaine, and at the time of
his residence in St. Paul he was one of the
leaders in literary and social circles.
