No other country certainly surpasses us in the inventive genius of its citizens or in the business sagacity of its patriotic American should approach this ques- tion with desire to see this great and interest ing experiment fail or with unwillingness to great step in the direction of commercial in dependence when we produce our own tinplate. It seems to me that nothing, unless a lack of faith in the maintenance of the present law can thwart this desirable achievement. I can understand how our success should be doubled and our failure accepted with satisfac- American can take that view of the question or why he should always approach every evidence in this country with disposition to dscredit and reject it.

Soldiers of the Czar in Control of

 Men Landed on the Territory of
 the Sultan-Two Railroads Seized.
 CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-A special from New York to the Evening Journal says: The following cablegram which, it goes with out saying, will not be generally credited until confirmed by subsequent advices was received in this city from London to- day:
 Russia has practically captured Con- stantinople by the greatest coup de main of the century. On Monday night large fleet of barges and vessels appeared on the Turkish coast on the Black sea, near Der kos, town about seventy miles northwest of Constantinople, and landed 12,OOO Cos sacks and g, 900 infantry.
 They seized the railroad along the coast from Constantinople to India, immediate ly crossed the coast range and seized an other railway from Constantinople to So- phis, at the town on Echatileebo, about sixty miles west of Constantinople. This commands the two roads to Constantino- pie and gives the Russians control of the narrow wedge between the Black sea and the Sea of Mammora. At the point of this wedge is Constantinople.
 This movement Hanks all the defences of Constantinople except those around the city, and renders help from the sea prac- tically useless. It is said that Russia has been accommodating barges and shipping of all kinds near the mouth of the Danube for six months past without discovery and that the whole of the 240,000 troops as- sembled in southwestern Russia can be transported and landed within sixty miles of Constantinople inside of the next four days, and before anything can be done by England, Germany, Austria or Italy.

No decision was reached. The Italian government has assured the pope that nothing shall occur to disturb the tranquility of the holy see, but that it must be understood that there is no in tention to modify the law of guarantees.

Four Passengers Are Killed and Eighteen Injured-Many Narrow Escapes.
 GALEsBURe, H., Oct. 21.-The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy fast passenger train, No. 5, which left here at 10:3O o'clock last night, met with a terrible &C., cident at the Pottery switch near Mon mouth, sixteen miles west of here, twen- ty-five minutes later. The train was run ming at high rate of speed.
 The switch was partly open and the To- comotive left the main track and started on the side track. Some of the cars be- hind kept on the main track As result the whole train of seven cars, save the sleeper, were thrown from the track and scattered around in great confusion. There was no telescoping.
 On the locomotive were A. A. Emery, engineer, Nils Anderson, fireman, of this city, and George Courtney, the travelling see how the new locomotive worked. An derson was blown from the cab by the steam. Emery and Courtney had no chance to escape and their bodies were found close to the locomotive. The bag gage and expressmen were thrown across their cars but escaped injury.
 A young man named Frank s. Johnson of Avon who, with W. R. Hardy of Abing- ton, was standing on the steps of the smoking car, attempted to jump off, was thrown under the wheels and killed. Hardy jumped and escaped injury. The baggage car caught fire, but the flames were promptly extinguished by John Dore, the baggageman. Oscar Zimmerman was pitched out through window of the smoking car and was unhurt. He hurried back to stop two incoming trains.
 The saddest casualty happened in the first chair car, back of the smoking car. In seat in the middle of the car sat George Allen, his wife and infant child She was next to the window, and as the car tipped over her head was driven through the window and she was instantly killed. The baby was hurled across the car, and save cut on the head, was un- injured. MT. Allen received only bruises. He found his child first. then groped his way from the car for a lantern, and re- turning, found his wife dead.
 After the wreck a panic prevailed. The imprisoned passengers beat out the win dows of the cars to effect their escape. A large force of surgeons and railroad off cers went from here and Burlington. In addition to the four killed, eighteen were injured, but the injuries of some were so Great surprise is expressed that the list of fatalities was not larger.
