Mangled remains of Man Found
Along the Track at Alameda.
ALAMEDA, Sept. 9.-The remains of
James Kane were found scattered along
the track of the broad-gauge road for a
distance OF 100 yards this morning, near
Park street. 1t was developed at the
Coroner's inquest held this afternoon that
Kane had been run over by the last train
from San Francisco Saturday night. He
was seen about midnight, and was very
drunk.
The supposition is that Kane stumbled
over the rails in crossing the street. and,
being too drunk to realize the danger of
his position, went to sleep. Then the
train came along.
The Coroner's jury returned a verdict
of accidental DEATH and eXonerated the
railroad men from all blame. The un-
fortunate man was a native of Ireland.
about 40 years of age, unmarried, and a
laborer by occupation.

NORTH ADAMS (Mass.), Sept 9.-The
most horrible disaster ever known in this
vicinity took place on the Fitchburg road
last evening, in the Hoosac tunnel. The
accident was caused by a rear-end colli-
sion between east-bound freight trains,
and, as far as can be ascertained, hap
pened about 1920 P. NJ.
A freight train had stopped to repair an
engine which had broken down. and at
about the same time the st-bound ex-
press train passed through the tunnel,
Illing it with smoke. A second east
bound freight train was allowed to enter
the tunnel, and the engineer, being un-
able on account of the dense smoke left
by the passenger train to distinguish the
train lights from those of the walls of the
tunnel, went into it with a crash. A hor-
rible disaster was the result. The tunnel
was blockaded, and two men killed out
right and three seriously injured.
Killed: William Turpening, brake
man. of Syracuse, n. Y; George Mem
mick. brakeman, of Fitchburg.
Injured: Walter Clapp, engineer, of
Rotterdam, \. y, injured about the hips
and chest; Charles Fraser, fireman, of
rotterdam, n. Y, skull fractured and
scalp wound, injuries about the hips and
back and both hands severely burned:
L. w. IL. Bartlett, brakeman, of Fitch
burg, right arm cut OFT. spine injured and
badly crushed. Operator Hodkins, who
was in charge of the signal lights at The
east portal at the time, is confined in the
police station on a charge of criminal
carelessness. w. Hodgkins, the west
portal operator, is also under arrest. He
claims he received the 80. X" from the
east-end operator, and consequently
changed his signal.
The authorities will make a thorough
investigation.
TEN PERSONS KILLED.
BRUSSELS, Sept. 9.-Ten persons were
killed and twenty injured by the wreck
of the Paris and Cologne express train to-
day. The accident happened at Apilly,
and was caused by collision of an eX-
press train with a freight train. The
engineer saw the danger ahead and re-
versed his engine. This had the effect of
reducing the speed and rendering the ac-
cident less severe than it would other
wise have been. a passenger who es-
capped with slight injuries says the shock
OF the collision was tremendous, and that
the forward cars were reduced almost to
atoms. The bodies of the victims were
badly mutilated. 1t is reported that the
station master at APPLY. on seeing the
collision was inevitable, jumped in front
OF the express train and was killed. The
list of the dead and injured does not in
clude any Americans.

DECATUR TuD, Sept. 9.-A shocking
accident occurred last night at the home
of George Wilkins. While preparing
supper Mrs. Wilkins placed gasoline in
pitcher to put in the tank. One of her
thinking the pitcher con-
tanned water, poured the gasoline into
the coffee pot to make coffee, and put the
pot on the stove, leaving some gasoline in
the pitcher. Instantly both were in
blaze. The pitcher was thrown into the
yard and the blazing vessel ignited the

Republican Senate Caucus.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-The Re-
publican senate caucus held yesterday
adjourned without having accomplish
ed a great deal. Senator Aldrich
brought up the question of Republican
Interference IN the selection of Dem
crat on the finance committee when
Senator Pettigrew stated there was no
need of discussing the subject, as there
were eight Republicans who would
agree to it as it would result in break
ing up all party discipline in the SELL
ate. That matter was then dropped.
As to taking action on the filling Of the
vacancy, the general feeling was that
no party action was necessary. The
resolution of Senator Murphy that
there be no further tariff legislation
this season was discussed, and it was
decided that the Republicans would
support it IN modified form, which
would not specify tariff legislation but
would state in view of the fact that the
season was so near the end, that it is
impracticable to attempt to pass
any contested legislation during the re-
nuaiuder of the season, and that it is
the duty Of congress to adjourn as soon
as possible.
1t is probable that If vote can be
had.upon the resolution, it would Sc
cure enough Democratic votes To pass.
The Republicans claim that any sep
arate tariff bill to which there is an
objection will be debated until it il de
feated by lack of a quorum, and 1t is
useless to make any attempt tn secure
the passage of any Of those now before
the senate. The Republican senators
expressed the opiuion that the Murphy
resolution amended as they are willing
to accept it, will pass by majority OF
ten or fifteen. The resolution will
probably be amended 50 as to strike out
all reference to Secretary Carlisle Is
letter.
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1893-1895, 1894-08-18

Mr.. Theodore Wilcox, manager of
the Willamette Touring mills was not
inclined to talk much about the tariff
legislation. "In fact" he said, "the
bill has 80 been monkeyed with that
no one knows just what kind Of tariff
bill we have really got. I do wish that
President Cleveland had the moral
courage and backbone to veto the bill
as passed. If he would, Grover Cleve-
land would today be the greatest man
ia the United States, but he won't do
it. 50 far as the -four business is con.
cerned, the tariff will not affect it, as
that commodity cannot be imported in
competition to Oregon. AS matter of
fact don't take half the interest in the
tariff as do concerning shipments Of
Oregon flour to China. That is some
thing of local interest, and Its import
ance of material value to the people of
this state"

WASHINGTON, Aug. lS.-Unless the

The Republican steering committee
of the senate met today to put in shape
the amendments decided upon by the
caucus yesterday. One is resolution
instructing the finance committee TO

with revenue duty on sugar aud a
continuance of the present bounty.
The other amendments agreed upon

Chinese and laps Meet
in Blood.
Thousands Are Slaughtered on
Land and Sea.
"Hell Let Loose, and a Sea Of
BlOcd."

VANCOUVER, b. &. Aug. l0.-From
Asiatic advices per steamer Empress Of
Japan, it is learned that bloody battle
between China and Japan was fought
on July 80 at Seikan. There were 6,
600 Chinese with 40 cannon and 5000
Japanese engaged. About 1000 were
killed on each side, and as many more
were wounded by arrows and bullets.
The Chinese at sacrifice of several
thousand cannUDs anG 800 wounded on
the field, who are said to have been
Afterwards utchered, retired to Koshu,
where they fortified themselves on
Corean ships. The japanese army fol-
lowed them to Asan, where another
battle 10 X place. OF this battle no of
fetal word can be gained.
1t is claimed the japanese are sup
pressing the news owing to Its troop 8
being defeated. Some newspapers say
the Chinese, reinforced by 10000 troops,
swept down upon the japanese and
slaughtered them to man. In Japan,
postoffices are icing closed. All tele-
grams are overlooked and all news
papers are prosecuted that publish the
news of battles. The Japan Herald
claims that China has gained several
victories by sea and land of late, news
of " hich has been suppressed.
There have been naval engagements
between the two powers near Jene-
thaun, but not one particle of news
can be obtained of an important battle.
Both the Chinese and japanese troops
continue to pour into Corea, and it is
exected that In a short time, one Of the
greatest battles, numerically, OF modern
times will take place.
The Yokohoma Nippon says: On
the 25th of July naval fight took
place at Nanying bay. The ships en-
gagged were second rate Chinese man
of war and a second rate japanese man
of war. The former were victorious
and, though riddled with bullets and
suol' anu Hei HeCES running Win
blood, chased her foe out of the bay.
The latter being faster, steamed away
from her, but at night the Chinese
warship approached under cover of dark
and the bloc 'y contest was renewed / y
lighted lanterns. The Chinese and j. ps
fought like demons and the scene was
described by an English lieutenant on
board the Chinese ship as "He | let
loose and a sea of bi0od.r Men fought
u til there were not enough to wok
the guns. The ships were shackled and
q hand to hand coltts' ensued. When
the japanese cried for quarter there
were but SO able bodied men on board
