DISASTROUS WRECK.

A Freight Train Breaks in Two and Comes
Together Again-A Colored Tramp Loses
His Life and Three Others Riding With
Him Are Missing.
BUcYRUs, o., Aug. AT an early
hour Friday morning west-bound
freight on the Pennsylvania railroad
broke in two in the eastern limits Of
the city and came together with disas-
trous results. Five cars of hard coal,
one tank of oil, a car of gasoline and a
car of queensware were completely de-
molished.
An explosion of the oil occurred, and
in an instant the debris was mass of
flames. Four colored tramps were rid
ing on the oil car at the time of the ac-
cident. One of the unfortunate vic
tins was found shortly after burned to
a crisp, and the other three are still
missing. The one found can not be
identified.
For distance of 300 feet the rail
roads double track was covered with
burning Goals, which created heat
like that of blast furnace. The fire
engine of the city was taken to the
scene of the wreck and did efficient
service in assisting to extinguish the
flames. Water was procured from the
tanks of number of locomotives that
were running for that purpose.

LONDON. Aug. GA dispatch to the

August 8. says:
II Is reported that there has been an
other engagement off the Corean
coast, in which three Chinese warships
were captured by the japanese. The
report has not been confirmed.
A japanese mob attacked the Chinese

GUS riot ensued, in which many were
injured.
A Chinese mob in Tal<au insulted the
members of the Japanese legation as
they were returning from Pel<ing
The mob's action led to tumult
which was tardily suppressed by the
authorities.
The Japanese in Canton have been
attacked number of times by roughs,

The European municipal council, of
Shanghai, has warned the volunteers
to be ready to act in case of rioting.

also profess to regard the fight of July

| WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.--Frank Carpen.
ter, the newspaper correspondent, who
has just returned from a six-months'
trip through China, Japan and Corea,
said Saturday night:
SIT is difficult to understand the po
litical conditions which now obtain in
China. The greatest danger to the
Chinese empire in it's contest with
Japan is the lack of force in
the central authority in China,
the want of devotion to the gen.
eral government on the part of the
Chinese, and the fact that the
great Chinese empire is composed
of powerful and independent states
which are not actuated by n common
purpose. and which may not cooperate
with zeal on the part of the general
government. The Chinese are a com.
mercial people. They do not wish to
be disturbed in their money-maling
pursuits They favor peace. The
doubt whether those who control the
empire will be able to secure the
hearty support of the integral portions
of the empire is the most serious factor
in the situation"

The Columbus Scale Accented.

STREAToR, H., Aug. 4.-The Streator
miners have finally decided to accept
the Columbus scale after strike of
nearly four months duration. The
operators gave them their ultimatum
that they must either resume work or
take their tools out and allow others
to take their places. The G. w. & v.
Coal Co. gave notice that it would
abandon its No. 3 mine. which en-
ploys $50 men, unless the miners re.
turn to work before Friday. A meet
ing was held and the miners agreed ia
return to work provided no blacklist
ing is done.

Wife Murder and Suicide.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Joseph b. Hunt,
40 years old, painter and decorator,
shot and instantly killed his wife, Bar
bara, Sunday morning in their rooms
on Second avenue, then turned the re-
volver upon himself and inflicted what
is thought to be mortal wound. The
shooting was done in the presence of
three of their small children.
Hunt has long been considered ment-
ally unbalanced. He was sullen, mo-
rose. suspicious and inordinately jeal-
GUS of his wife. He gave her no warn
ing, but without word placed re.
volver to her head and pulled the trig.
ger. She fell dead, and he ut once put
bullet in his own brain.

GUZMAN RECOGNIZED.
Salvador Will Now Ask for the Extradition
of Gen. Ezeta and Others.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The United
States has finally recognized the new
government of Salvador, and Or. Hora-
ito Guzman, who. in addition to his
representation of Nicaragua, is accred-
tied from Salvador, was Friday morn
ing, just before the cabinet meeting,
presented to President Cleveland by
the secretary of state. The usual for
NAL speeches took place, and after a
few moments conversation the new
minister departed.
1t is said at the state department
that no particular significance attaches
to the recognition of the new govern
ment, which is indisputably in control
of Salvador, and that the status of the
refugees on board the Bennington is
not materially affected thereby. DR..
Guzman says he will without delay ask
for the extradition of Gen. Ezeta on u
number of charges.

LABOR IN POLITICS.
State Convention. Of Laborites TO 81
Held at Columbus August 1917.
A Ticket That win sccure 10000 Unios
Mems Votes Wanted--That IA What
John McBride. Mark wild and
Other Labor Leaders Wish.

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 3.--A movement
which threatens political revo
luton was the ex-cathedra meet
ing in committee Thursday oi
those prominent in labor circles
for the purpose of organizing o
new political party. 1t is asserted by
alarmists that no such important con.
ccntration Of hidden forces has taken
place since the meeting in this city in
1854 of the old wings, free soilcrs and
anti-Nebraslsas, when state ticket
was nominated. This ticket swept the
state by 71,0oO.
A meeting was held at the headquar.
ters of the United Mine Workers Thurs.
day morning, whose object was n con.
solidation of labor under one banner.
The organizations affected are the
United Mine Workers, knights of La.
Dor. American Railway union, Ohio
State Trades and Labor assembly and
the minor labor organizations of the
state. 1t is claimed that these organi'
zations can control $50, 900 votes.
Among those present were John Nc
Bride, national president of the United
Mine Woolsers of America; John Fahy
and John Kane, members of the execu.
tive board United Mine Workers; Marh
Wild, chairman of the local grievance
committee of the American Railway
union; w. ID. Mahon. national presi.
dent of the Street Railway Employees
association, and Z. j. Bracken, late
populist candidate for governor and
prominent in the Ohio Trade and Labor
assembly.
1t is the contention of these leaders
that the time has come when. labo,
should assert itself to secure legislation
favorable to that element, and as Ohio
has been the birth place of similar
movements, it was thought fitting that
the movement should be innugurated
in Columbus.
A call will be issued to the labor or.
ganizations calling convention to be
held here August 16 and II to deter.
mine in what manner the labor ele.
mcnt shall formulate a platform and
enter politics. The fact that this con.
vention is to be held on days fixed for
the populist state convention gives rise
to the suspicion that a consolidation OF
forces is imminent, as the populist par
ty was represented at the committee
meeting.
The movement had its origin at Chi.
.a"o, last fall, when the American
federation of labor adopted a resolu
ton submitting the question of indie
pendent political action to the affil
lated membership, and it was given
out by labor leaders that the PROPOSE
tion has been agreed to with practical
unanimity.

SUGAR COMMITTEE REPORT.

No Testimony Discovered to Support the
Statements Made by Edwards That Sugar
Trust Money Was Used for Campaign
Purposes.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.--The commit
tee which has been Investigating
charges of bribery of senators in favor
of the sugar schedule, as well as those
charging that senators have speculated
in sugar stock, and that the trust has,
by campaign contribution, influenced
legislation, has finally made it's report
public. The report speaks of Quay and
McPherson as sugar spectators by
their own testimony, and refers to
Camden and the photograph of an al
legged order. This. Mr.. Camden could
not say he did not write, for the writ
ing looked like his, as did the sigma
ture, hnt it was unaddressed, the orig
inal h:.d been destroyed, and he knew
he had not ordered sugar through the
m:i:: Battershall, whom the committee
discredits.
Mr.. Camden was put through very
severe cross-examination by Senator
Davis, as the report shows. and seemed
to he satisfied that he cleared him
self.
Senator Smith denied sugar specula-
ton since the tariff discussion. The
democratic members of the committee
had nothing to say as to their connec-
tion between legislation and the sugar
trust.
The republicans, Davis and Lodge,
made a separate report on this, telling
OF the interviews had by sugar trust
representatives with senator's, which
was followed by the changing of the
house free sugar schedule for a sched-
ule making sugar, raw and refined,
dutiable. The trust had said it con-
tributed to state campaigns to which
ever party was in the ascendency in
the state where the contribution was
made, but these contributions were
made in years when there were ma.
tional campaigns on.
The conduct of Edwards, says the re.
port, in publishing specific charges
against public men without having
personal knowledge of the facts, calls
for the serious reprobation of the sen.
ate.
The committee also says: "There has
been no testimony presented before your
committee, and your committee has
been unable to discover any, tending 10
show that the sugar schedule WAS
made up az it then stood in the pro-
posed amendment to the tariff bill, in
consideration of large or any sums oi
money paid for campaigning purposes
