his train. Just behind, on the same

avert collision. lie applied the air
brakes, but they did NOT prevent his
running into the train ahead.
The passengers in the rear car of the
second express saw the third train run
ming thSp down and panic ensued. A
mad rush was made for the forward
doors OF the car. A few succeeded in
getting off before the crash came. The
remainder OF the passengers were in the
forward part of the last car when the
locomotive Of the heoncoming train crashed
into them.
There was deafcning crash that

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-The action of
the Democratic senatorial caucus in ap-
pointing a committee to look after the
doubtful legislatures with view of Sc
curing control of the senate after the
4th of March was extraordinary, aud is
regarded as indicative of determina-
tion on the part of the ruling numbers
in the party to remove all obstacles to
the most radical legislation which the
late victory makes possible.
1t Is a mistake to assume that there is
any large number of Democrats in con-
/. .ss who are afraid Of the response
bility that in placed with them as to
tariff legislation. A large majority of
them are eager to cut and slash the pro-
tective system, and ii they can only get
at the work quick enough they are ready
TO run the risk of co sequences. Those
who oppose this idea arc not numerous,
though some of them are strong men.
The men who are enr,est i'll their op-
position to protection nre determined
that no chance to control the senate
shall be lost through lack of attention,
and in the house they are figuring ON
what can lie done to secure them against
the obstruction of any small minority
that may be formed.
IN anticipation of trouble with some
OF the conservatives when the attempt
at tariff legislation is made in the Fifty
third congress there is considerable talk
Of the necessity OF having rules which
will not admit of filibustering

WASHINGTON, Dec 9.-Representative
Geary, of California, author of the
Chinese restriction and registration laws
says the blame for its apparent failure
rests on the internal revenue officials
charged with its execution and the Six
Companies. If it were not for the lat
ter's opposition, he says, Cinnamon
would be perfectly willing to take ont
their certificates. The law ought to be
enforced he says.
Can the law be repealedT he was
asked.
Certainly not. To repeal the act at
this time would be virtual surrender
of our position at the dictation of a for
eign country, and do not see how we
can take this action and preserve our
self respect among the nations of the
world.'
"Bnt suppose the law cannot be en-.
forcedy'
1T can be enforced. The objection
made to the registration and certifica-
ton of Cinnamon is puerile. | Travelled
from California to Washington on q
railroad ticket which identified me as
rightful holder of the ticket by giving
my height, the color of my eyes and OF
my hair, and other partic liars of my
personal appearance. Before | could
vote in my county description of my
self had to be registered in the county
records. The necessity of identification
is an every day affair to men of the
highest reputation, and there can Ger
tainly be nothing barbarous In it for
Chinaman.'
Speaking of the reported expense of
enforcing the law Mr.. Geary says " 1t
IS true that as at present administered
the law is deficient. 1t was the inten-
tion Of the committee in framing the
law to have the work of registration
performed by the regular Deputies of the
internal revenue office. as part of their
duties. allowing additional compensation
for any extraordinary service. The
secretary OF the treasury, however, has
created special bureau and appointed
large number Of special deputies at
500 month, who are doing no work at
all. 1t is easy enough, with such
system as this, to eat up all the money
in the treasury"
"Willthe law be success if enforced?"
Beyond doubt. itis modelled after
the Australian anti Chinese law, which
