There may be something, in the story
that the king of Italy thinks of abdi-
eating, but it is very unlikely. What he
needs is the reduction of his army by
one-third to start with, and let Will
liam pose against France. The king
dom Of Italy is ruined by the army,
for the country is poor. If Italy had
one good coal mine she would be conf
paratively rich. Her fuel is of roots
and branches of trees, Ignite, Englisl
coal and American OIL Her absurd
army and navy consume her.

TWELVE PEOPLE KILLED.
An Awful Wreok on the Michigan Cen
trail railroad.

JACKSON, Mich, oct. II. The most
awful railroad disaster of the present
year is the most that can be said of the
terrible wreck which occurred YESTERDAY
morning right in front of the depot of
the Michigan Central Railroad company
in this city. Twelve lives were wiped
out and nearly twice that number of
people were mangled and crushed. All
the people, happy and joyful, were on
their way to Chicago, presumably to
visit the worlds fair. 1t is the first
wreck of any consequence on the Michi-
gan Central road since 1879, and the re.
suit was appalling. The train in which
the casualties occurred was an excursion
train that left Watertown, y. V, Thurs
day for Chicago in two sections, heavily
loaded. The first section arrived at
Jackson at $50 a. m. and the passengers
alighted to get breakfast. But for this
the list of injured would have been much
greater. During the wait the second
section came into the yard twenty miles
al hour. The engineer endeavored to
stop but the air brake would not work
and the train crashed into the standing
train. The two rear coaches were tele-
scoped ana it was in these that
most of the casualties occurred. Every
passenger in these cars was either killed
or terribly injured. The third coach
from the rear of the first section was
thrown TO one side and four passengers
in it were killed and others injured.
With the exception of the engine and
baggage car the rear section escaped Sc
rious harm. The engi,e was badly
wrecked and steam and hot water escap.
ing added greatly 20 the suTcrings II

only seventeen senators were present.
Forty sixsenators appeared. Before Stew
art, who was speaking, proceeded Iiar-
ris of Tennessee presented an amend
ment which, he said, he would offer in
due time. The amendment provides:
First, FOR the coinage of all silver bullion
in tho treasury representing the go iern-
ment seignorage into full legal tender
dollars at the rate of 3.0O0,0O0per month:
second, when the seignorago is coined
the secretary Of the treasury shall pur-
chase monthly bullion sufficient to coin
blank dollars coming the bullion into le.
gal tender dollars; third. all paper notes
or certificates If less denomination than
$40 shall be r'lpemed and not reissued,
and rational hank notes of less denomi
nation than 80 shall be redeemed and
national banks required to substitute
notes of that denomination: fourth. two
and one half and five dollar gold pieces
shall no longer be coined, and when re-
ceived at the treasury department shall
be recoincd as eagles and double eagles;
fifth, holders Of STANDARD silver dollars
shall be able to exchange such Gollars.on
presentation for notes OF the sane legal
tender quality as such silver dollars
which shall be held for their redemption
The amendment created much inter
est, it being assumed that it furnished
the first specific compromise proposition
growing out Of the continuous session.
Allison wanted to know whether the
omission in the second eaction Of the
number Of dollars to be coined was in
territorial. Harris said the amount was
left blank so that any senator could
have the opportunity to test the sense of
