The wool and woollens bill which
Mr.. SPRINGER proposes would give
little relief to the American con-
sumer. He proposes to abolish all
duties on wool, also all the specific
duties on woollens, leaving the adj
valorem duties standing. But this
would still leave the ad valorem
taxes on woolien goods on a high
protective tariff basis, and would
not bring the relief demanded by
the people

BORDER rRoUsLEs.

United states Troops Taking Active Meas
urea 90 Suppress Gnrza's Band OF Mexican
Revolutlonlsta.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 80-Gen.
Stanley, in command of this depart
ment, has received instructions 70 use
all the troops Of his command II neces-
sary to suppress the adherents of Cara
who are collecting in Starr and Duval
counties on the border. Two troops of
cavalry have already left here and two
more will go Saturday, being delayed
until then by the lack of transportation
facilities.
Garza's proposed invasion and restor-
alton of the constitution Of 1857 now
excites less ridicule than it did in Sep
TENDER when first promulgated. He
has shown himself capable leader as
while avoiding pursuit on both sides Of
the river he has increased the number
of his forces to such an extent as to ex-
cite alarm on both sides of the river.
Capt. ]. G. Bourle is authority for
the statement that every Mexican on
the American side is supporter Of
CARA, and the masses of northern Mex
leo are similarly inclined.
A private telegram from Monterey
says it is believed that Cara has q very
strong secret following in that city
which has made every preparation to
join their leader ut a moments notice.
Arms have been sold there recently In
large quantities and it is believed they
were purchased by Garza's agents.
The fact that Cara continues to re-
cruit followers from the American side
increases the responsibility of the
American government in preserving
the neutrality laws and American OFF,
Gals are much excited. There are but
three posts on the border. Fort McIn-
tosh, near Laredo; Fort Ringgold, 40
miles south, and Fort Brown, near
Brownsville. These are but slightly
garrisoned. While the federal troops
have been reinforced bv ex-rangers.
the frontier is of such bushy charac-
ter that it is still very inadequately pro-
fectad

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec 30.-After con-
siderable delay the court Of appeals yes
terday handed down q decision on the
four contested senatorial cases, which
virtually gives the control Of the state
government to the democrats.

In the Sixteenth district the certifi-
cate was awarded to Derby, the repub-

DARK RUSSIA.

Reported Discovery OF q Conspiracy TO
Overthrow the Czar-Hls Own Brother
Heads the Conspirators-sen Into Exile.
LONDON, Dec. 30.-A dispatch from
Warsaw says that another plot against
the life of the car has been discovered
by the Russian police. The dispatch
referred to gives but few particulars
concerning the new plot, but 1t adds
that large number of Polish and Rus
sian students and many military and
civil officials have been placed under
arrest. The prisoners, according to the
Russian police, are all members OF q
secret league formed against the au-
thority of the car with the object OF
obtaining republican government for
Russia. As one of the results OF the
new discovery, the dispatch also says
the system OF espionage in force along
the line OF the German and Austrian
frontiers has been pushed to such a de-
gree of severity that it is only with the
utmost difficulty that merchants and
others can pass through the lines OF
Russian police stationed at all available
points. 1t is also intimated that the
police are preventing, so far as posi-
BILE, the circulation of any news regard
ing the discovery of this new secret
league, and that the prisoners will be
dealt with In the most severe manner.
Allowing for all eXaggerations, 1t
seems to be fact that new plot
against the car has really been un-
eartbed, and that it is conspiracy OF
very large proportions. There are peo-
ple here who connect this series OF
wholesale arrests with the recent dis
grace of Duke Sergius, brother of the
car, who was suspected by the latter
of nursing ambitious designs, and is,
according to report, to be removed from
the governorship of Moscow, and who,
it is added, will be sent into exile.
Count Won Schouvaloff, it will be re-
membered, has already been mentioned
as the successor of the duke as governor
of Moscow. Other reports have it that
the car has only given the grand duke
q peremptory leave of absence for q
year, and that he is to be sent to some
post in central Asia, where he can do
no harm even il he desired to, where he
can be kept under the strictest guard.
It is intimated that the officials who will
accompany the grand duke into exile
have orders to take the most severe meas
ures should the imperial exile attempt
to escape When this news became
known it wns also announced that the
Grand Duke Sergius had been tamper.
ing with the loyalty OF officials in high
standing at Moscow, Warsaw and Will
ma, and that it was believed that he had
been plotting to overthrow the car.
In consequence it is but natural that
the wholesale arrests Of high civil and
military officials just reported from
Warsaw should be judged to be con-
nec;ed with the pot at the head OF
which the cars brother is said to have
been found. A later dispatch from
Warsaw confirms the above suggestion.

at $3.50 q m, met with serious acct
dent on IN embanlSment between Bos'
worth and Newcomb. Mo-, about seven
ty-five miles east of Kansas City ut Q
o'clock yesterday morning. Five coaches
were derailcd and fifteen persons were
injured. some very painfully Conduc'
tor Woodwork was badly hurt inter
nally and will probably die. Mrs. De
Forrest, OF Great Bend. Kan, was also
injured internally but it is thought not
fatally. They are the most seriously
injured and were brought to Kansas
City. as were also Mrs. Toomey, OF
Marion, Kan, and Mrs. De Forests
sister.
1t is supposed that the accident was
caused by q draw bar falling down in
such a way as to be caught by the
trucks of the head chair car, throwing
It from the track. The other dragged
after it down the embankment An
other theory is that the mishap was
caused by the spreading Of the rails

the head chair car suddenly plunged
from the track, dragging after it the
second chair car, two Pullman sleepers
and the dining car
The cars were overturned, but all the
occupants escaped uninjured except
those in the first chair car. This car
was turned about and hurled from the
track with great force. 1t was lifted
from its trucks and turned completely
over, but reached the bottom OF the
embanlIment in an upright position.
A complete list of the injured is as
follows:
Conductor Woodwork, badly hurt
internally; will probably die.
Mrs. De Forrest Great Bend, Kan,
badly injured internally.
William Kaston. 3SS Cleburne street,

j. C. Bolen, Servia, Kan, arm broken.
Miss Nellie A. Watson, S14 Tyler
street, Topeka, badly bruised.
BID. Smith, Chicago, slightly injured.
While the cause of the accident is
only a conjecture it is claimed that it is
hardly possible anything could have
been the matter with the track as only
a few minutes previously a heavy
freight train passed over the embank-
ment safely. 1t is stated that the speed
of the Inflated train was not excessive.
Engineer Prescott, who was at the
throttle, says that the first intimation
he had that anything was wrong was
when the air brake was set by the
chair car being broken loose from the
train.
