WASHINGTON, D. c., September e.
The West Virginia Senators are among
those who strongly favor pushing the
contest in the Senate with the utmost
vigor so as to bring the repeal bill to a
vote at the earliest possible moment.
They believe the present delay in deci-
sive action is q great misfortune for the
party and for the country. They are
willing and anxious that the sense Of
the Senate. for or against unconditional
repeal, should be taken with all speed,
as they are convinced that no matter
what the result may be, it certainly viii
be vastly better for all concerned than
the present uncertainty.
Senator Faulkner is convinced that
the silver men, who are opposing uncon-
ditional repeal, mean TO prolong the
struggle indefinitely, and that nothing
but absolute exhaustion will ever In
duce them to allow the repeal bill TO
pass in its present form. he Is con-
vInced further that they have 1t in
their power, under the rules OF the
Senate, to defeat all attempts to get
vote, and he has no expectation, unless
there is a change in the situation, OF
which no present signs are VISIBLE
that matters can be brought TO a
crisis by the methods being pursued.
For his own part he would like to see
continuous sessions night and day until
one side or the other WAS exhausted. as
by this means solution Of the dill
culties would most speedily be brought
about. If the flibusters were unable
to stand the strain and were forced TO
allow vote to be taken, we'll and good;
If. on the other hand, the repeaIers
discovered they could not ac-
complish their purpose, then
compromise could be arranged
and put thrugh, and the country would
be relieved of the uncertainty which
now hangs over 1t, while Congress could
go on with other legislation. Senator
Faulkner believes there would be no
difficulty in arranging a compromise
which would be generally acceptable
once 1t was demonstrated that uncondi-
tional repeal was not feasible. From
the letters be is receiving from bankers
and business men throughout the coun-
try, as we'll as from the assurances OF
fellow Senators who now stand out
for unconditional repeal, the Sen
ator is convinced his own amendment
10 the repeal bill would furnish an ac-
ceptable basis OF compromise. This
amendment, it will be remembered, pro-
vides for the coinage OF the silver bull
lion now in the treasury, and enough
more to raise the total silver coinage
of the Government to an aggregate OF
eight hundred millions, at the same
time providing for the retirement OF all
notes of small denominations, so as TO
increase the actual uae of silver dollars
among the people as circulating me-
dinm,

turers building all was hustle and con-
fusion this morning. The storm OF last

roof, and many Of the exhibits In the
German and Austrian sections were
drenched with water.

HOW TIE wEE,K occuRRED.


K1NGsBURY, IND, September o.
The shadow Of death hangs heavy over
the little village Of Kingsbury.
There is mourning in that hamlet Of
25 souls.
Twelve bodies irlghtfully crushed
and manned, many Of them mangled al
most beyond semblaDce to human be-
ings, are ranged side by side in one Of
the village stores.
Men, women aud children were sacri-
feed in wreck which is without
parallel in the history Of Northern In
diana.
Twelve lives were crushed out with
out a moments warning.
Death came unheralded BY any mes
senRer.
THE Wabash train is wrecked, was
the cry that aWoke the people from
peaceful slumber shortly after 8 O'Clock
this morning.
The villagers were not slow to re-
spond TO the appeal, and the entire
popu lace had soon gathered about the
depot.
Streaks Of dawn had just appeared in
the eastern horizon when the second
section OF the Wabash passenger train
No. So Whirled through the village, and
passlhg from the main track 10 the
siding, dashed with frightful velocity
into the freight train, the crew OF which
had been ordered 10 90 ahead.
Under the belief that the track was
clear, the switch had been turned, and
down the track TO certain destruction
rushed the train OF 1--WE coaches, 10
which there were $50 passengers IN
conscious OF what 3 minute would
bring forth.
There was q crash and the noise Of
escaping steam.
Then arose the cries Of the dying and
wounded.
Through windows and doors crawled
those who were fortunate enough TO
ESCAPE WITH THEIR LIVES.
when the rea, coaches had been emp
tied, willing hands at once went TO the
rescue Of the imprisoned passengers 10
the cars.
The most graphic pen would fail in
an attempt 70 picture the scene Of
chaos. The two locomotives were locked
together IN an embrace OF iron aud
steel. The forward end OF the passenger
engine had pierced the iron armament
OF the freight locORotivs. The smoking
car Immediately back was completely
demolished. The roof and sides
of the coach lay mass Of
wreckage. Next came the day coach
which had shared similar fate. The
third car, which was comfortably filed,
was thrown across the track.
Not one Of the passengers in this car
suffered serious Injury.
1t seems a miracle when It IS stated
that IN the next car, q sleeper but par
tlallv wrecked, several persons were
instenny killed. The last evE remained

WAsHINGToN, September 22.-Among
the West Virginians in the city TODAY
was Mr.. w. b. Maxwell, the well known
attorney OF Parsons, who is a strong

~ am quite certain" he said to-day,
that there is no foundation for the re-
port that Stewart w. Walker, Senator
Faukner's law partner, will contest
with Mr.. Wilson for the next Congress
sional nomination. No one could defeat
Mr.. Wilson in his district. He is the

WAR SHIP SUNK.
The Hayisn Ship LsIAsdrs Pssion, With Eighty
Men on Board, Goes Down in Minuh and
aHalt-All on Board But One Lost

NEW YORK, September 22.-A report Of
the sinking Of the HaytIen war-hlp. Alex
ander Petou, was received In this city to-
day. All on board with one exception
were lost
AL told eighty were drowned. Among
the number were many prominent officials
and diplomats Of the Republic.
The cause Of the disaster is unknown.
The disaster to the Petion occurred on
September Q, about 80 miles south from
Cape Tiberot
The suddenness and completeness Of the
disaster, only one sailor escaping, makes
the affair most mysterious and it Is proba-
bic that the real cause Of the wrecking Of
the noble ship will never be known.
According to the testimony Of the sole
survivor there was absolutely no warning.
Neither collision with another vessel, sub
merged coral reef, nor storm can account
for the occurrence.
The day was fair, the wind was nothing
more than gentle breeze and the passen-
gers were enjoying themselves in the cabin.
Suddenly the vessel began 70 sink. The
officer on the watch ordered the men TO
pass the word 10 those in the cabin and the
forecastle to reach the deck as quickly as
possible and Jump overheard.
1t was already too late In one minute
and half from the the time the ship be-
gan 10 sink the vessel was entirely undor
water.
The sailor, as the ship sank under him,
snatched q pair Of oars, aud they drew him
safe to the top.
He cought a plank as II foated by and
looked around, but not man arose from
the swirling waters which engulfed the
war ship.
The sailor drifted for SO hours on the
plank with nothing 20 eat or drink, aud
when he was picked up he wasIalmost ex-
hausted. He was brought 70 Port Au
Prince and put aboard another war ship.

secretary Carlisle and the Tobacco Trade

WASHINGTON, d. c., September o.
Secretary Carlisle is disposed to meet
tobacco importers half way as to assess
ing duty on imported wrapper tobacco.
The law says explicitly that II ever so
small q quantity OF wrapper tobacco be
in q bale OF tobacco the whole must be
regarded as wrapper tobacco and as
sessed at the rate of So per pound. To-
bacco not suitable for wrappers is as
sessed at the rate Of only thirty-tive
cents per pound. The Treasury Depart
ment will contract the definition Of the
quality of tobacco suitable for wrappers
so to more nearly conform to what is
known to the trade commercially as
wrapper tobacco-that is TO say, OF the
same quality as Sumatra tobacco. Other
tobacco OF inferior classification, even
though suitable for wrappers, will be
allowed TO come in at the thirty-fve
cents pound rate.
