An Engineer Caught In the Crash and Hor
 ribly Mangled.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Dec. 27.-At an early hour yesterday morning, 3 miles south of this city, two rapidly running freight trains on the Big Four railway met in head-end collision.

 D NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 26. Train No. 1, Louisville & Nashville through passenger train to New Orleans, is re- ported wrecked near Brentwood, 9 miles south of here.

At the coroner's office it is said that every available physician obtainable at a late hour was sent to the scene of the wreck, and from this fact it is concluded that the loss of life is serious.

THE RATION POLICY.



 Present System Is Harmful.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 27. General com plafnt against the issuance of govern. mont rations to Indians is made in the annual reports of the agents. Lieut.. Megcier, of the La Pointe, Wis, agency, officially chafacterizes the practice as n most potent factor in retarding the development of. the Indians, and Capt. P. Fl, Ray, of the Shoshone agency. in Wyoming says: ''They will never be- come self-supporting as long the gov ernment gives them semblance of support; neither can they begin to ac- cumulate property so long as the sup ply of the necessaries of life is solely in the hands of the white traders"
 Another factor in retarding develop ments complained of by Capt. Ray is the domination of chiefs who have been allowed to dictate to agents as to the issue of annuities and affairs of the agency, thereby fostering and perpetu- ating their influence. They have been allowed to levy tax on their own people for farming and grazing privi- leges and have collected tribute from owners of trespassing stock, the money being spent in feasting an idle and dis solute following. The removal of such troublesome chiefs is recommended. The Shoshones are regarded as com munists, who are loath to take up any untried pursuit. Their agent recom' mends that their ration issue, except to the indigent and helpless, be discon- tinued, and the money now used for that purpose be devoted to the pay. p,apt of Indian la bpr

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Jan. A-Baroa
Won Hengelmueller. the new Minister OF
Austria Hungary, to-day presented 10
Secretary Gresham formal protest from
his Government similar to that presented
by the German Ambassador August Sth
last, protesting against the discriminating
duty Of one-tenth OF one per cent. per
pound on sugar coming from countries
paying an export bounty thereon, as
provided by the Wilson tariff act.
The protest, as in the case OF Germany.
Is based on the fact that the action OF
Congress cannot be reconciled with the
most favored nation clause which governs
the economic relations OF the two coun-
tries. This clause In our existing treaty
with Austria is in almost identical terms
with that between the United States and
Prussia. upon which the German protes,
was based.
President Cleveland, In his last annual
message, recommended the repeal OF that
clause of the tariff act which imposed
the discriminating duty, and subsequently
transmitted to Congress a report from
Secretary Gresham strongly stating the
injustice of the law and urging its re-
1t is probable that Congress will be
notified OF Austria's protest, and attention
will again be called officially to the mat

est protest and that of the German Am
bassador IL Is evident that the two coun-
tries are acting In concert In the matter,
and II seems probable that Austria will
still further follow Germany's lead by
inaugurating policy OF retaliation
against the food products OF the United
States.
