London. Aug 13.-An accident That
caused great excitement occurred this
morning at St Pancras station in this
city. The Scotch express train arrived
in the station at G:30 a. IN. Instead of
slowing up the train dashed ahead and
overshot the buffer stops at the end OF
the rails. The forward portion Of the
train, including Pullman car, was
wrecked and nineteen passengers were
injured. The engine driver and stoker
had a marvellous escape from death.
The accident was due to the unex-

American industries, whether those in

The situation as Viewed by tho New
York Tribune.

President Cleveland is informed by the
action of the Senate that his pet coal and
iron trusts will not be allowed to dictate
legislation to the destruction OF iron and
coal interests in this country. On which
side in the controversy will the American
people be found? These trusts include
some powerful American capitalists. In
the Nova Scotia coal syndicate it IS un-
derstood that President Clevelands 8
friend. Mr. Whitney. and his secretary OF
war. Mr.. Lamont, have large interests.
The iron companies are the Juragua and
the Sigma, with headquarters at Phila-
deIphia. and the Spanish American Iron
company, with Headquarters at New
York. and these imported from the mines
IN Cuba. Of which they have exclusive
control. 413,999 tons in the fiscal year
1893. the average cost being about 81 %.
All other imports of iron ore were 2o9,
O57 tons, and the average cost about
s.. 20. The few owners OF the CUBA
mines include the Pennsylvania. Mary
land and Bethlehem steel companies. ana
their interest in the success Of Mr.. Cleye-
land as free trade champion has been
deen But the mere threat OF change
of tariff has thrown two of these compa-
MES into bankruptcy during the last year,
and the imports of all iron ore have peen
only about 100000 tons, not third as
much as in 1898. IL

In October. 1892. the Chicago Herald,
which is excellent Democratic authority,

Democratic ticket because a change was
necessary in order that farmers might
receive an increased price for their wheat.
So in the editorial columns OF the Herald
during the campaign of 1892 was this ad-
vice
Vote for Cleveland and S1.25 for

The people voted for Cleveland. but
the farmers have not seen the price OF.

Chicago Herald condemns itself as a
prophet. for in it's issue of the 9th of
July. 1894, is printed the following dis

Between the two the people will not
choose. Their choice is the defeat of
both. The Sugar trust. which owns the
Senate, and the coal and iron trusts,
which own the President, are alike tight
ing for private gain and to plunder the
people The only complete answer to
these indecent demands is to kill the
pending bill and pass an act putting re-
fined as well as raw sugar on the Tree
list. Then the American miners OF coal
and iron ore will not be impoverished for
the benefit of Messrs. Whitney, Lamont
and the Juragua capitalists, and the
Sugar trust will have to cut down. It's

favor which the Tribune urged Congress
in 1890 not to grant, but which it un-
wisely granted at the pleading of the in
dependent retners of Philadelphia, who
were then pledging themselves TO fight

which the people can desire or approve

removal of the duty on refined sugar,

the better will the voters be satisfied.
