mRny-Other Foreign News.
LONDON, Aug. 19.-The failure of ne
gotiations with Switzerland and for a
commercial league with Austria and
Germany has produced much disap-
pointment in Berlin, where it is felt that
the failure is due to the evident de-
termination of the majority of the Swiss
to maintain q neutral position in the
existing differences and coming wars Of
Europe. The proposition from the first
impressed the people of Switzerland un-
favorably. They have a traditional re.
pugnance to close alliance of any kind
with Austria, and they fear the power
of Germany. France, too, has many
friends among the Swiss, and all these
stood out against commercial union
with the two great German powers
The Swiss federal government has got
out of the matter as easily as possible,
conscious that a referendum would re-
suit in defeat of the proposition, and in
discredit to the government supporting
it. 1t is expected that Austria and Ger
many will now oonfine themselves to
confirming and arranging the details of
their mutual agreement. Hungary has
an abundant harvest and will be able to
spare large quantities of grain for use in
Germany as soon as the treaty between
the two countries comes into operation.

CHICAGO, Aug. ia Globe special
from San Francisco says: A train con-
sisting Of an engine and twenty-five
cars on the Greenwood railway in Men
docino county, jumped the track on q
bluff and disappeared in the Pacific
ocean. The crew escaped by jumping.
At the point where the train went over
the road runs along the side of cliff,
from which there is a sheer descent of
fifty feet into the water. The track is
perfectly secure and the trains run over

The Inflated one which was lost was
not heavier than those which daily make
the trip, nor was 1t running at greater
rate OF speed. The cars were loaded
and sank rapidly, being completely swal-
lowed up. The men, who had barely
saved their lives, walked to the nearest
station to wait for train and have their
wounds dressed. Some suffer from
scratches and bruises, but none are bad
ly injured. The railroad company ut
once began preparations to draw out the
engine and cars, as they expect to save
much of the merchandise Divers have
been sent from this city, and wrecking
apparatus is being forwarded to the
scene of the peculiar disaster.

hundreds of the natives were assembled

watching the raging torrent, when the
foundations became undermined by the
water and the structure tumbled into
the river, carrying the people with it.

VIII Use wheat Instead of Rye.

HAMBURG, Aug. 19.-The Correspond
ent, in semi-official article, states that
the intention of the government to use
wheat instead of rye for the army is an
important advance in its deliberate poll
cy to make Germany more Independent
than hitherto of foreign countries in re-
gard to her economic interests. AL
though the present prohibition of rye
exports by Russia may have been
prompted by the fact of q bad harvest,
It is not impossible that at some future
date political reasons might dictate sim
liar measures on the part of the czar's
government.
