Agreed on q Policy.

WASHINGTON, April 26 The Demo-
cratic members of the Senate Cou,-
mIttee on Finance teld meeting to-
day for the purpose OF comforting over
the proposed changes in the tariff bill.
Secretary Carlisle was before the
Committee. There is no room for
doubt that the Committee agreed
upon q policy, but all parties to tue
conference are very reticent.
1t is known the income tax has
been altered so as not TO discriminate
against persons who derive income
from corporations or business part
nerships. Other changes also have
been made, which il is believed will
satisfy it's opponents, and 1t is believed
also amendments TO many schedules
have been agreed to. Secretary Car
Isle is in sympathy with the efforts
OF the committee to obtain hill that
will surely pass by party vote and
there is good reasons for believing the
movement has the sanction of the
President.
The Democratic leaders realize the
time is approaching when it will be
necessary for them to maintain a
quorum with but little assistance
from Republicans, aud have rein
forced the official letter OF notifica
tion to members sent cut by German,
Chairman of the Democratic caucus,
with personal appeals. The Repub.
lican Senators do not admit that they
will resort to dilIatory measures. but
say if the Democrats attempt to en-
force unusual hours or preclpitate a
test Of physical endurance they will
resist in any way the rules may JUS
tify.

HELD UP BY ROBBERS.
A Train on the Richmond, Fredericksburg
 Potomac Robbed.

RICHMOND, Va. Oct. 13. - The north-bound passenger train on the Richmond Fredericksburg X Potomac railroad, which left here at o'clock last night, was held up near Quantico. The engineer and fireman were forced from their engine and the engine was cut loose and sent ahead. The express car was then entered, the messengers covered with pistols and the safe blown open and robbed. The runaway loco motive was stopped at Quantieo by ob- structing the track
 It is stated here now that there was an unusually large amont of money on the train, probably S50,000 The robbers, seven in number, were masked, and did not blow open the safe as first reported They forced the messenger to open it. The railroad has offered S1, GOO reward for the arrest of any one of the robbers.
 The express messenger, E. r. Crutch- field, and his helper, II. Murray, barred the doors of the express ear. but these were blown open with dynamite. After the robbery the thieves made off with their booty in the direction of the Potomac river, where it is supposed they had boat in waiting to take them to the Maryland side. None of the robbers entered the passenger coaches.
 The express messenger said that the safe contained Si50,000 The robbers secured this and all of the express packages containing money. It is thought this amount will foot up to bout Sl ,000.

CRASHED AT A CROSSING.
Fifteen Persons Injured, Where Scores
 Might Have Been Killed.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 15.-Nothing but a miracle prevented one of the most horrible wrecl1s in the history of Louisiana yesterday. As it is about fifteen people were more Of less ins iured. seven of them seriously. and $40. GOO worth of railroad property was destroyed. The wreck was at the junction of the Louisville & Nashville and New Orleans & Northeastern tracks, about two miles from the city, and occurred just before s:30 o'clock. The colliding trains were the l4ouis- vile & Nashville excursion and the East Louisiana-Covihgto excursion train. Both trains were completely filled with pleasure-seekers bound for the lake coast resorts on the pine lands of Saint Tammany parish.
 The engineer of the Louisville & Nashville train claims he stopped be- fore reaching the crossing, and is sub stantiated by the passengers on his train, and that he blew the warning whistle that he was going ahead and received no response. He started ahead and then saw the East Louisi- ana train bearing down on him at q good rate of speed. Having started, 1t was too late to think of stopping and reversing, so he opened the throttle and tried to get over the crossing be- fore the other train reached him.
 As subsequent events proved he failed in his effort, and the consequence was that when the other train struck his. the coupling parted and the engine and seven coaches were not stopped fer over 100 yards There Is no doubt in the world but that this prevented 2 greater disaster, for it broke the force of the shock from the East Louisiana train. diverting its impetus and pre- venting the engine rom crashing head on into the coach, filled with mass of humanity, totally oblivious of the fact that grim death stared them in tn, face.
 The East Louisiana engineer claims that the air brakes refused to work, and that when he found that it was impossible to avoid collision he and his fireman jumped, the latter be- ing the first to leap from the cab. The latter claims that the customary whistle was blown, but good many persons dispute that fact.

The en- gineer replied: I will. I will; don't kill me- III mind yon' The engineer and the fireman accompanied the robbers, who kept poking them with their guns. The tall one said, Get move on you They went back and uncoupled the four forward cars from the passenger coaches and brought the fireman and engineer back to the engine. The tall man stood on the platform of the first ear, and said to the engineer: Pull out now, - lively, and go tin tell you to stop
