quite cold shortly before the

not prevent enormous crowds
from gathering all along the line Of march
and filing every conceivable and vacant
space which could be utilized as a vantage
ground from which the parade could be
viewed. The Yelled Prophet illus

EGAN AND THE JUNTA.
No Credencs Given to the Story That

No Credence Given to the Story That
Balmaceda Is Still Alive.
WASHINGTON, Oct 6.-There is nothing
in the Official dispatches received at the
state and navy departments from Chile to
indicate any pronounced change In the sit
uatlon there so far as the relations between
Minister Egan and the junta are concerned.
The story cabled from Paris by the Dun
lap-Dalziel agency that exPresident Bal
maceda is in hiding in the United States
legation at Santiago is absolutely discredited
at the department of state.
EGAN ANNOUNCED HIM DEAD.
Two cablegrams were received at the
department from Minister Egan announce
ing the suicide of the ex-Presldent, and in
addition the ministers from European coun-
tries sent the same information in the most
positive form to their governments. Al
though the ways of diplomacy are some
times trifie devious it cannot be presumed
for a moment that all of the representa-
tives of the powers in Santiago would unite
in a false official statement of the facts re-
specting the treatment of political refugees
alleged to be in asylum in the American
legation.
WILL BE ALLOWED TO DEPART IN PEACE
1t is believed that no serious opposition
will be made by the junta to the safe con-
duct out of Chile, as this practice, although
not founded upon absolute right, has here
tofore been observed in similar cases with
out etfectual opposition. The cruiser San
Francisco, which was to have gone directly
to Valparaiso after touching at Callao, is
still at the latter port. Some of her ma
chinery became disarranged on her way
from Hayti, aud when the necessary repairs
are made she will proceed to her destina-
tion

THE ERAYENNA DISASTER.

The terrible calamity which took place
| on the New York, Lake Erie and Western
road yesterday morning, with the horrible
result of cremation for over a score of
passengers and severe injuries for about
two score, resulted from causes which are
almost stereotyped in the history of rail-
way fatalities. Full and adequate pre-
cautions against the destruction of life
from this cause are in operation on the
best equipped railroads, and their entire
absence in this case is painfully empha-
sized by the wholesale loss of life.
A passenger train over an hour late
closely followed by another train; a halt to
repair the engine; a flagman sent back,
who only goes a carlength, and the fol-
lowing train coming on at full speed, not
expecting to stop, crashes into the rear OF
the unfortunate train. dealing out death
by crushing and by burning with remorse-
less freedom. 1t is evident that with
anv approach to a decently organ-
lied block system this calamity would have
been impossible. The rear train would
have been held back until the forward
train was out of the way, except in such
rare and exceptional instances as that on
the mountains month or two ago, where
the fog was alleged to have obscured the
signals.
It is evident from the report of this
fatality that there was nothing like the
block system on this line. Trains were
left to pursue each other in the faith that
the pursued could keep out of the way of
the pursuer. The result of such faith is
periodically murderous but that has not
resulted in providing the full measure of
precaution There is no doubt that the
moral responsibility for the loss of life rests
with the management which failed to pro-
vide the necessary safeguards; but if the
extraordinary legal theories which have
lately been enunciated in New York ex-
tend as far as Ohio, it is doubtful if any
legal responsibility can be placed where it
belongs.
1t is evident that these terrible fatalities
will not be completely abolished until the
responsibility for them is placed on the
men who control the road and omit to pro-
vide necessary precautions against col
hsion.

concerning the radical cures of the worse
