The Terrible St. Mande wreck.

PARIS, July 2S.-The terrible excursion train
collision at St. Mande, near this city, is the feat
ure of popular interest here. The newspapers
OF this city and the provinces are filled with
narrowing details of the disaster, such ghastly
railroad accidents not being an everyday occur
renee here, and popularly supposed to be con-
fined to the United States. The funerals
will be in the cemetery at St. Mande
and conducted at the expense of the commune
The assistant station master at Vincennes and
the driver of the second engine have been ar
rested on the charge of driving carelessly there
by contributing to bring about the collision.
The lady announced as being among the vic
Tins of the disaster is not Marouise de
Monteferata, but Madame Blancey, or Blan-
chet, of New York City. Up to the present
offieisl inquiry has failed to establish clearly
the real cause of the collision, which is attrib-
uted in turn to revenge, malice, carelessness and
incompetsncy, according to the revelations of
the hour. The action of the fremen in drown
ing the roasting and wounded people impris-
oned beneath the wreck is most severely con-
demned- Seven additional people, victims of
the collision, died last night, making q total of
fifty dead accounted for, but in terribly con-
sumed state. Some of the remains found make
it probable that in some cases the heap of Gin
ders collected may be those of two people, which
had been counted as one. The municipal au-
thorities of ST. Mande have decided that the fu-
neral of the victims will take place at 8 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon.

LONDON, July 28.-The resumption of
the Welsh tinplate works is only partial,
II the firms are fortunate enough to secure
orders. The work will only run while
orders last, by week to week contracts
with the men. No appreciable reduction
of the stocks in America are noticed.
Prices are still unremunerative. During
July the shipments from Swansea
have been under 1000 tons weekly,
as against 10000 to $4,000 tons
In the same month in 1890, while the stock
now on hand amounts to 400, 900 boxes.
against $50 900 boxes in the correspond
ing week in 1890. 1t is estimated that
three months must elapse before trade be-
comes brisk again. but general confidence
Is felt among the manufacturers. The
trade will regulate itself within six
months. The threatened American
competition causes no serious alarm
to most manufacturers, though some of
the less sanguine think that Americans
will eventually succeed in establishing
trade, especially as they will be able to
adopt labor-saving appliances, attempts to
Introduce which have already incurred the
resentment of the men, and will inevitably
lead to a severe struggle The Daniel Ed
wards Company are unable to resume,
their men declining to work the
new flux patents of America.
Other firms are also idle, their
men refusing to work at reduced wages.
The attitude of the workmen is largely the
outcome of the inquiries of American
agents for labor. If the masters here do
not concede the demands of the men, the
latter know they can secure employment
in America. The relationship between
capital and labor is becoming strained and
it is feared the employers will
be forced to consider the advisa-
bility of transferring their business
to America. The manufacturers offered to
reopen the works on lower wages, merely
to give the men employment and without
the hope of profit. The secretary Of the
Tin Plate Masters Association, in an inter-
view, today, confirmed these views, but
added that there was nothing to tear from
the purely American competition.
