DROWNED BY A COLLISION.
Two Vessels Collide in Australian
Waters and Twenty-six
Persons Perish.


A dispatch from Melbourne states
that a collision occurred at l O'Clock Fri
day morning inside Fort Phillips Heads,
between the steamers Grmbire and Ems
by. The Gamblre was bound from Sidney
New South Wales, TO Melbourne, and was
just clearing the heads when she met the
Ensby, bound out 1t was impossible for
the vessels to clear each other and the
Ensby struck the Gambire amidships,
crushing in her side to such an extent that
when she backed away the water poured
into the hold OF the Gambire in torrents.
A scene Of terrible confusion and excite
Uent followed the shock OF the collision.
Most of the passengers were in their
berths when the accident happened. Sud
denly awakened by the shock and not
knowing the nature of the accident that
had befallen them, they rushed pell nell
on deck without waiting to dress.
They rushed frantically for the boats,
but there was no time to cast loose their
fastenings aud lower thcm, for the steam
er was settling SO rapidly that to attempt
this means of escape meant to go down
with the ship. The officers did their ut
most to calm these terrified passengers,
but their efforts were to great extent
unavailing.
The Ensby remained alongside the Gam
bire and rescued many of the latter's pas
sengers and crew. Notwithstanding her
efforts the Gambire filed so rapidly that
it was beyond human power to save
everybody. Seven minutes after the col
Hsiou the Gambire gave a long forward
lurch, then her bows rose high out of the
water.
Then she settled back and, sinking stern
first, she disappeared from view, carrying
with her five saloon passengers, fifteen
steerage passengers and six of the crew.
The boats from the Ensby remained for a
long time in the vicinity, searching for
possible survivors but they found aone.
The Ensby sustained considerable dam
age. Her cnt,water was Stove, her bows
were badly damaged, and her head gear
was carried away.

The reign of the country newspa-
pers stretches over a vast territory
which is inaccessible to the city dailies,
or even to the city weeklies. The city
papers shed their far-reaching light
upon the hilltops; but it is the rural
press which illuminates the valley and
the plain. Momentous duties thus rest
upon its representatives. The course
of state and national legislation. the
welfare of state and nation depend
largely upon the manner in which they
discharge those duties. As rule they
have discharged them intelligently.

RIO eRANDE TRAIN ROBBED.
Seven Bandits Hold Up the Train and
Secure SIS, 500.

Seven Bandits Hold Up the Train and
Secure SIS, 900.
The Rio Grande express train No
from Ogden, bound eastward, was held
up and robbed at twenty minutes before
midnight on the 3ist, four miles west OF
Texas Greek station and eighteen miles
west of Canon City. The robbers secured
s, 600 and some vaIuables. The hold-up
was one which recalled the early days of
desperate daring. There were seven
masked men in the party of robbers.
They went at their work with the sys-
tenn and coolness OF experienced despera-
does. Amid a fusilade of shots, all of
which were harmless, the train was sue
cessfully stopped by the use of red Ian
terms and torpedoes on the track. In five
minutes the express car was entered, the
safe opened and tine sum of $500 in gold
and currency taken out.
The robbers fired few parting shots,
quickly mounted swift horses and were
away before the frightened and astonished
trainmen and passengers could fairly
realize what had occurred. They had the
express company's money and the fire
mans gold watch, but they had not
molested any of the passengers, and had
Injured no one.
Two of the masked men guarded the en-
gine men, and five others started toward
the express car. The whole movement had
occupied but half a minute. The express
messenger was commanded to step out.
He did not make any response, and then
firing into the car commenced rapidly.
Under cover of the shooting two brawny
fellows attacked the door nearest them
with an axe and soon cut it to pieces. The
bullets whizzed into the opening and three
men sprang through, covering the messen-
ger with their weapons. He saw resist
ance was useless and meant only death,
and quietly stepped out. He was asked for
the combination of the safe, but was not
made TO give it. There was no hesitancy
on the part of the robbers. They welded
sledge on the small safe and quickly
broke in the door. The contents were
taken out, and the desperadoes sprang
through the door of the car and ran quick
into the darkness.
All the doors of the mail car were
broken in, but nothing was taken.
Posses were organized at once to pursue
the robbers and bloodhounds will be pu.
upon their track. II is believed that they
made for the Wet Mountain Valley which
has been the resort for cattle thieves and
other tough characters.
The Fate of Balmaceda's Officials.
A number of officials under Balma-
ceda have taken refuge on the American
and German warships in the harbor of
Valparaiso.
A formal demand for their surrender
was made on Admiral Brown and the
German admiral by Intendente joaquin
Walker Martinez. After a consultation
the two naval officers informed Senior
Walker Martinez that they would decline
to surrender the men unless proper guar
antees were given that their lives would
be safe until they had had fair trial

IT has cost Spain a great deal OF

is impracticable for any one university

equally impracticable to concentrate
