a Bad Accident on a Virginia
Railroad.
SEVEN PERSONS KILLED.
Two Passenger Coaches and Sleeper
Fall Sixty Feet.
st Ogden Little Five-Year-Old Girl Is
Cremated-The Cyclone in Nebraska
Proves More Severe Than
First Reported.

DANVILLE, Va, Aug. 16.-An accident
occurred at County Line trestls, just east
Oh Melton, early this morning, by which
TWO passenger coaches and a sleeper were
precipitated into the creek below, a dis
lance of sixty feet, killing seven persons
outright and wounding a number of 9TH
ers. The train bound for Portsmouth
left here at 11:35 this morning. After
passing through Milton and when gong
over the trestle, Engineer TunstaI, who
says he was running at the rate of ten
miles an hour, felt the bridge giving way.
He threw open the throttle, and the en-
CINE, tender and box car got safely over
but the passenger car was too late and the
span went down under the weight OF the
second passenger car and sleeping car fol-
lowing.
The cars were shivered into kindling
wood and the escape OF any of the passen-
gers was miracle. The water in the
creek had risen to depth of twelve or
more feet, and it is the general belief
that the rise had undermined the founda-
ton under the piers, causing the trestle
to settle.
On the train at the time were about
sixteen persons, including the train
hands, but only one of the latter, Con-
uuCtor ii. MOTIFS OF Portsmouth, was
killed, none of the others receiving Sc
rious injuries. Following is list of the
killed:
H. MORRIS, conductor, of Portsmouth,
Ga.
w. R. ELLISON of Alton, Va.
j.. q. DAVIS, farmer Of Baskerville,
Va.
W. FL. ELAN of Durham, N. c.

IOWA REPUBLICANS.
They Meet in State Convention In Des
MONIES.

They Meet in State Convention In Des
MONIES.
Dies MONIES, Aug. 16.-The Republican
state convention assembled this morning
at II o'clock. After temporary organi-
zation had been effected the convention
was addressed by Senator Harlan, who
regarded the present financial situation
as favorable to the recovery of the con-
troll Of the government by the Republic
cans. The convention was largely at
tended and enthusiastic. The contest
has narrowed down to Jackson and
Young for governor, but unless either
one receives nomination on the first ball
lots, it is likely to go to a third man,
General Drake being most frequently
spoken of. Ex-senator Harlan is also be-
ing mentioned for nomination.
The report of the committee on creden--
tials was adopted. The committe on per-
manent organization reported, for chair
man, j. G. Lawrence of Sioux City, and
for other officers the temporary officers
made permanent. Mr.. Lawrence was in
troduced and amid much applause com-
menced the delivery of his address.
After considerable wrangling over busi-
ness and q long wait on the COMMITTEES on
resolutions /. ID. jackson of Des Moinea
was nominated for governor.
The platform, adopted after three hours
debate, declared that it was not the ale
cations made by the Democratic party as
to the Mckinley law or reciprocity, not
that The claim OF vaunted good results OF
Democrat success has come true, but that
the financial distress is fulfillnent of
what Republican history warrants as
to the known in capacity Of the Demo-
cratic party.

he is Expected in Washington at an
Early Day.


Early Day.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. = Minister
Blount is expected in Washington soon.
As the Hawaiian situation stands at
present settlement of the annexation
question will depend mainly on confer
ences between the president, Secretary
Gresham and Minister Blount, In his
report Minister Blount, according to his
instructions, made no recommendation
on the vital point at issue, but gave his
opinion as to the relative strength of SEN
timent in the islands with reference TO
the question OF annexation to give the
president and Secretary Gresham better
insight into the condition of affairs, that
they may be enabled to make recon-
mendations to Congress.
Mr.. Blount will give his views YER
bally, and it is thought he may amplify
in an unofficial way devoid of the posi-
BILE embarrassment consequent upon the
expression of such plain opinion in an
official document, when he confers with
the executive and diplomatic heads of
the government. Mr.. Blount's state
ment in San Francisco yesterday con-
corning the mailing of his final report
did not refer to the main report. That
document was mailed from Honolulu
some time ago and is now in the possess
sion OF the state department.

AT THE WORLDS FAIR.
Arrangements Completed for the Great
Stock Show.


CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-Although the
weather was threatening most of the day,
the attendance at the Worlds fair kept
up above the average, and the total ad-
missions were 1873, S78, OF which 10, 5S7
paid.
The strike OF the roller chair pushers
has practically petered out, as the COM
pany says it had more men than were
needed, anyway. It will employ only
about 200 men of the 400 strikers when
they proclaim their readiness to work for
Is cents a day and 10 per cent. commits
sion.
Horses and cattle for the live stock ex-
hibit are beginning to arrive, and the ar
rangements for caring for the stock are
unprecedented in completeness. 1t is de-
signed to make this the crowning feature
of the exposition and the great breeders
of the world are manifesting keen inter
est.
This was great night on the Plaisance.
An international ball, arranged by the
commissioners, is being held at the Nata-
forum hall, being decorated according to
the ideas Of the different countries and all
nations represented at the exposition are
taking part in the festivities. Citizen
George Francis Train led the grand
march with dusky woman from the far
east.
The feature of the peace congress today
was a paper by Mrs. Laura Ormiston
Chant of London, holding that it was
within the power of women of the world
to disband ali armies and put an end to
militarism. Sunday schools came in for
a scoring at Mr.. Chants hands for rails
ing Hboys' brigades'' in imitation of
militarism. Sunday school concerts, in
which songs are sung clarifying war and
military heroes were also condemned and
a general stand taken that women should
discountenance such or all analogous
proceedings.

NORTHWEST WHEAT CROP.
st. Paul Banks Propose to Move 1t with
Clearing House Certificates.

Clearing House Certificates.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 16.-Ready money or
an equivalent that will be current with
all who may be called upon to handle it is
absolutely necessary to move the crop
now being harvested in the northwest.
Ready money in sufficientquantity is I'M
obtainable, and as substitute must be
forthcoming, bankers OF St. Paul are now
formulating plan by which it may be
provided. The plan proposed is an effec-
tive, but not original one, being in short
the device of the New York clearing
house.
This means that the banks of st. Paul
and Minneapolis should issue clearing
house certificates in denominations of So,
$40, $50 and $50, which could be loaned to
buyers to be used in payment of wheat to
farmers and of freight charges to rail-
ways, and thus carry the wheat to mar
ket, when proceeds would be returned
to the banks, thus putting them in funds
with which TO redeem local currency.
This plan meets with most favor, but
the matter is still unsettled. The carry
ing out of any plan Will receive the CO.
operation of banks, jobbers and railways,
and from interviews had with jobbers
and railroad men it is quite certain they
will agree in any action taken by the
hanks.

BEHRING SEA TRIBUNAL.
Secretary Gresham Is Dissatisfied with
the Regulations.

the Regulations.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Is. = Secretary
Gresham is said to be dissatisfied with the
findings of the Behring Sea tribunal, and
it is understood his views are shared by
other cabinet officers. The regulations
are interpreted to mean that the United
States will have entailed on them the cost
and worry of patrolling the Behring sea
without any benefit to it's sealers, while
Russia, Japan, and perhaps other nations
will reap the harvest, the regulations be-
ing binding only on Great Britain and
this country. It is not likely any
definite policy respecting the guar
dianship of the sea viii be out
lined until the opening of the
first of the season next year, because the
weather will put an end to the operations
of the sealers in about two weeks. The
restrictions placed on sealers with refer
ence to firearms, nets, explosives and
steam vessels will have the effect, il is
believed, OF causing Canadian sealers to
resort to desperate methods to secure good
catshes, and much poaching is feared.
Ia close season during the months of
May, June and July, both Great Britain
and the United States will be obliged TO
maintain feet OF naval vessels to keep
poschers from the sealing waters
and it is believed at the navy department
that this Will result in the establishment
Of permane1l5 Behring sea squadron for
duty during the three months named.
The United States will also be obliged to
maintain q watch on the waters within
the sixty mile zone around the Pribyloff
islands during the entire mild season,

A Futile Attempt Made to Capture Pied

EAGLE PASS, Tex. Aug. &c. This
morning 100 armed men made their ap-
pearance above Piedras Negras and 325
men under command of Colonel Trevno
were seen in the valley below town.
Major Elvarez, in command of the federal
troops, wired President Diaz that large
body OF armed men were about to make
an attack upon the town. The president
wired to resist the attack. Upon this AL
varez, with about fifty soldiers and sixty
citizens, went out to meet Trevno and
held conference with him and showed
him his authority from the City of
Mexico.
Trevno replied they had come to take
charge OF the town and put new officers
in charge; that it was the intention of the
people to have fair election and it was
impossible to effect this under the present
arrangement. He also demanded that po-.
litical prisoners now being held in Pied
ras Negras be released without the form
atty of trial.
Alvarez again replied that he would
forcibly resist the capture OF the town,
and Trevno finally ordered his men to re-
tire to Little river. But for the firm
stand taken by Major Alvarez with his

ng clause as provided in the Wilson


Mr.. Harter estimated that if the House
successfully passes what he calls the dan
ger point of free coinage at ratio of 70
to l, the majority for the Wilson bill,
which will present the naked question OF
repeal or no repeal, will be 100 more.
On the other hand, Mr.. Bland says
there are representatives who will vote
against the coinage of silver at any speci-
fed ratio who viii not vote to wholly
abolish silver as a money metal, which
would be the effect, he says, OF passing
the Wilson bill. eff there are any rep
resentatives from silver districts who
would thus vote, - said Mr.. Bland, "they
had better make terms with the admins
tration. for they cannot dominate with
their people. -
Harfer's doubt as to the result of the
vote on proposition to coin silver at a
ratio of 20 to is said to be due to inform
atop conveyed to the anti-silver execu-
tive committee that there are upwards OF
forty Republicans who will vote for es-
tablishing coinage at that ratio. Mr..
Bland, however, believes ratio of 16 to l
will be stronger in the House than any
other.
Despite the reported forty Republican
votes for 20 to ratio, repeal Democrats
readily concede that they must have Re-
publican votes to succeed and have asked
Republicans to come to their aid in the
discussion now progressing.

In A BAD WAY.
AD Illinois Life Association Said to Be
InsoIvent.


InsoIvent.
CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-Since the state
auditor decended several months ago on
officials of the Total Abstinence Life
association with charges of numerous
violations of the statutes governing such
concerns and threats of suits to GUST the
officials, etc., the association has been in
a bad way. 1t seems that the officials
have been endeavoring to transfer its
business entire to the Commercial Alli-
ance association of New York. This
coming to the ears of the stockholders
and policy holders who learned that they
would lose by this operation a vigorous
protest was made and a meeting was
called today to consider the matter.
This meeting was addressed by Presi-
dent Singleton who announced that the
association was practically insoIvent;
that since the action of the auditor al
though death claims kept right on com
ing it had been impossible to get new
members. The assets of the association
are about sos, ZOO mostly in bonds of the
East Tennessee Land Company which,
owing to prevailing financial stringency
cannot be marketed now. Death claims
unpaid amount to $50, 900. The stock
holders are feeling very blue over the
matter and have appointed committee
to look into its affairs,

one of the most disastrous in the history
