Railroad Wreck Near Butte.


BUTTE, Mont, Oct. 23.-The outgoing
Union Pacific train, which left Butte at l
O'Clock this afternoon, met with an acct
dent at Buxton, twelve miles out of Butte.
Just beyond this is a divide, up to which
the grade from Silver Bow station is so
heavy that a helper engine has to go along
with freight trains to help them climb the
divide. The helper, under charge of En-
gineer Thomas Lynch, was returning, 60
ing at rapid speed down the hill, when,
rounding a curve, it met the passenger
train. The engine collided with the freight
full force, completely demolishing both,
but, beyond being Jared, none Of the pass
engers in the coaches were injured. Both
engineers and one fireman escaped by q
miracle. but John F. Mitchell, fireman of
the passenger, who was stocking at the
time, and in a STOPPING posture, was in
stantly killed, the upper half of his skull
being torn off and one of his feet cut COM
pletely off. Henry Sargent, brakeman on
the passenger train, had his ankle damned
against an iron rod, but no
further casualties occurred. En-
gineer Lynch claimed that he
met the passenger engine unexpectedly
and that his watch was eight minutes slow.
The engine was sent out to bring back
some passenger cars and waited until the
express from POcatellO arrived at the
wreck, when its passengers and mail were
transferred and brought to Butte.

Blaine at Canton.

CANTON, o., Oct. 25.-Secretary of
State Blaine arrived here to-day. He
met at Alliance by a reception COM
mittee from Canton and escorted to this
city. Three thousand people greeted
Blaine with loud cheering as he alighted
from the train and followed his carriage,
cheering all the way to the home of Maj.
Mckinley, whose guest he was during
his stay here. Blaine was accompanied
by Mrs. Blaine and daughter, Miss Har-
riet Blaine, and William Walter Phelps,
minister to Germany. Upon their ar
rival at the home of Maj. Mckinley, an
informal reception was held. The early
trains in the forenoon had brought large
delegations of republicans from Youngs-
town, Alliance, Massillon, Wooster,
Wel]sville and other towns in this and
adjoinining districts. The streets were
thronged and at 1:3O p. M. a parade OF
marching columns occurred. Shortly af-
ter noon it began raining and it was de-
cided to have a meeting at the Taberna-
Gle instead of at the fair grounds as
originally intended. The building was
packed, as was also the Academy of Mu-
sic, in which an overflow meeting was
held. Mr.. Blaine made his principal adj
dress at the Tabernacle, where he was
followed by Maj. Mckinley. Then he
was driven to the Academy of Music, but
made only a brief speech. Congressman
Dalzell was the principal speaker az the
Academy. Blaine spoke chiefly on the
tariff, arguing for protection and recip-
rocity.

MAY IT.
The New Cork Importers Consider the
Legality of the Mckinley Bill.

The New York Importers Consider the
Legality of the Mckinley Bill.
New York, Oct. 28.-A meeting of the
importers of this city wa held this after
noon, which had under consideration the
Mckinley bill. James M. Constable pre-
sided. In calling the meeting to order,
Mr.. Constable said the purpose was to
give expression as to the legality of the
Mckinley bill, and he explained that the
omission of section 80 in the engrossed
copy of the bill, which was signed by the
president, very possibly invalidated the
entire act, though the omitted section
was passed upon by both the senate and
house of representatives. Secretary Dan
iel McKeever told how he had talked
with certain lawyers and it was nearly
the unanimous opinion among them that
the act was unconstitutional because of
the omission of a section. A committee
was appointed to make investigation and
report at a subsequent meeting. An adj
journment was then taken, subject to a
call of the chair.

Along the Jersey Coast.

AsBuRy PARK, N. j., Oct. 24-The
New Jersey coast towns received a full
share of the severe northeasterly storm
that set in yesterday. All day to-day it
stormed with no abatement. The dam
age done to the shore towns, from Sandy
Hook to Barnegal Inlet, by the severe
storm and heavy tides will amount to
thousands of dollars. The most severe
damage was done at Monmouth beach.
The sea cut a large gap'into the bluff and
made a clean sweep across the driveway
about thirty feet wide. Before the large
Octagon house at Sea Bright the waves
dashed up over the breakwater and into
the basement of the hotel. The bulk
heads we're badly damaged all along the
Shrewsbury river and on the other side
of the driveway the high tide
wrought sad havoc. Everything in reach
Of the tide was swept away.

WHAT DUN's REPORT SAYS.
A Noticeable Increase In Business on Ac'
count of the Tariff.

A Noticeable Increase In Business on Ac-
count of the Tariff.
New York, Oct. M.-R. G.. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade says: Business
continues large in volume and generally
profitable. In many branches there is a
noteworthy expansion on account of the
new opportunities which the revised
tariff gives. Most important industries
are doing we'll. The iron business is ap-
parently hesitating because an unprece-
matched by an unprecedented produc-
ton, and Bessemer iron is weak at Pitts
burg and Philadelphia. But the demand
for all finished products continues SO
large that the capacity of the mills seems
to be strained to the utmost, and while
no advance in prices is reported, the
market is everywhere strong. Markets
for breadstuffs continue to advance"

Numbering Apaches.

SANTE FE, N. NJ, Oct. pa small
band of Arizona Apaches, evidently not
more than four in number, have been
t%errorizing settlers along the Arizona
New Mexico line for the past six weeks
in western Sierra and Grant counties.
Several posses have been organized to
hunt them, and two troops of United
States cavalry have been scouting the
Mogoulone mountains for weeks, but
without result, the band being so small
as to readily elude it's p%ursuers. Thus
far four persons have been murdered by
the gang. J. J.. Barbara, a Mexican
ranchman in western Grant county, and
his son Avarian are the latest victims.
They were shot from their wagon and
the body of the old man thrown into the
river, while the son had his head crushed
with a club. Another son escaped.

The d Question.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.--Commissioner
Morgan of the Indian bureau, in his IN
nual report to the secretary OF the in
terror, says of the Indian question gener-
ally that there has been for ten years or
more real progress IN the right direction,
and the outlook for the future is encour-
aging. It has become, says the commits
sioner, a settled policy Of the government
to break up reservations, destroy tribal
relations, settle Indians upon their own
homesteads, incorporate them into ma
tional. life, deal with them not as nations
or tribes or bands, but as individual citi-
zens. The American Indian is to become
an Indian American. The public school
system is being rapidly provided, whers-
by every accessible Indian boy and girl
of school age is to be afforded an oppor-
tunity of acquiring the rudiments of an
English education and the elements of
an honorable calling. The Indians them
selves are coming to understand the
present policy of the government and are
showing an increasing readiness and even
desire to adjust themselves to it. All
the changes have been made for the inn
provement of the service. The work of
making allotments of Ian Is in severalty
under the several acts of congress has
steadily progressed during the year, 1884
allotments having been made or the
Yankton reservation in South Dakota;
$50 on the Winnebago reservation; 269
to Grand Ronde Indians in Oregon; "
to Eastern Shawnees; and 291 to those
on the Papagee reservation in Arizona.

half they shortened the gait a quarter of
