ONE PASSENGER suIcloEo



Wrecked In Kansas.
Usage CITY, Kan, Oct. ga fright
full railroad wreck, attended by the less
of seven lives and made more terrible
by the self-murder of one of the terri
fed passengers, has occurred at
O'Clock ON the Santa Fe road, two miles
north of this station. The wrecked
train was the eastbound passenger No
2, the same that had such thrilling ex.
perience with bandits in New Mexico
on Friday night last. The wreck was
caused by the explosion of the boiler of
the locomotive. The engineer should
have stopped Tor water at Usage City,
but being behind time, he endeavoreu
to run to the next tank. The engineer
and fireman were killed. Nearly the
whole train was wrecked.
The wreck was marked by scenes of
the widest confusion among the terri.
fed passengers. The nerves of many
were at high pitch as a result of Their
experience with the road agents in New
Mexico and when the crash came the
first impression of nearly all was that
the train had been attacked again by
robbers. One passenger, William Beck

PARIS, Oct. 3.-The Debats contains
an account of an interview had by q
Frenchman with the sultan at Canstan-
tinople in which the latter declared
that any civil or military officer con.
victed of failing to do his duty during
the recent massacres in Constantinople
would he punished. The sultan is re-
ported to have added that the govern
meht would cndeavor to introduce re.
forms gradually, and that he wonld
abide by all the pledges contained in the
treaty of Berlin, although certain clauses
in that treaty favorable to Turkey had
purpOsely been forgotten.
The people of Euope, the sultan
pointed out, were too apt to forget the
material difficulties hindcrlng the
effects of his good will His Asiat G
empire, he added, contained two prov.
inces which were alone equal TO sizo of
France and several of the distant villa
vets had scarcely any roads or tGle-
graphs. The different idioms and as
pirations OF each race in the empire
had to be considered.
The sultan strongly emphasized his
desire that there should he great i'm

the empire, and he urged that il

KEY WEST, Oct. 3.--Advices received
from Havana state that Antonio Ma
Geo in a recent attack on the trocha in
flicted terrible losses ON the Spaniards,
more than 1000 being killed and
wounded.
The Spaniards were aroused from
sleep to find hail of insurgent bullets
falling upon them. General Aralas
and staff, half clad, rushed from their
headquarters and tried to rally the
Spanish troops who were panicstricken
by the insurgent attack.
II was half an hour before a semblance
of order could be restored TO the Span
ish column, and during that time the
troops remained huddled together, an
easy mark for the bullets of the Cubans.
It was during this period of panic that
so many of the Spanish troops were
killed. The insurgents had several dyn-
amite guns, and these were used with
terrible effect. 1t is said that many
Spanish officers were killed and that
General Aralas himself was slightly IN.
jured. After General Aralas succeeded
in rallying his men he made retreat
and the Spanish force fell back four
miles or more leaving the trocha In the
hands of the insurgents
Antonio Maceo did not pursue the
Spaniards, but held possession of Arte-
misa until morning, when he retreated
to his stronghold. Before the insur-
gents rotreated, they demolished the
section of the trocha near Artemisa,
blowing up the fertilization with dyna-
mite. They captured many arms.
While the attack was in grogress at
Artemisa, Maceo's lieutenants were as
saulting tho trocha with equal success
on the right and left from Bahia Honda
on the north, to Makanda on the south,
and at all points the strong line was de.
molished Maceo could easily have
crossed with his entire force, but his
object was simply to demolish the
trocha so that it would not impede his
eastward march when he desired to ad.
vance to meet Gomez.

1t May Have Some EG ct on the Turk

BERLIN, Oct. 5.--The sensational
news that Roumania and Greece have
Joined the dreibund, and that the formal
agreements to this effect were signed at
Bucharest during the presence there Of
Emperor FraDis Josephn Of Austria,
after the opening of the canal through
the Iron Gates of the Danube. is being
discussed in political circles here.
The statements made are believed to be
correct, and are regarded as being of
prime importance, for the dreibun1 will
thus have valuable allies in tA-se two
countries in the event of the disruption
of Turkey or any serious complications
in the east. Charles OF Roumania has
long been anx ious to enter into the
dreibund, but it was only lately that q
binding bargain, acceptab to all par
ties, was drawn up. 1t is expected that
Servia will also adhere to the dreibund,
as soon as the influence of ex.Queen
Natalie, who is a Russophile, is over
come.
The past week has been full OF
rumors that the powers have at length
agreed upon concerted action in regard
to Turkey, but there appears to be little
to justify the reports, although there
are indications that the eastern barome'
ter is rising in England. While the
national protest against Turkish bar
barity continues undated, there is one
fact noticeable-that public feeling
which formerly distinctly favored isola-
ted action upon the part of England
has now veered in the direetion of joint
action with the powers, and especially
with Russia.
1t is stated that military convention
between Austria and Roumania was
concluded during the stay of Emperor
Francis Joseph at Bucharest binding
both powers to prevent Russia from
crossing the Danube.
It is further stated that gigantic en-.
gineering scheme was also considered
at Bucharest, the plan being to connect
with the Black sea by canal and tC
make Bucharest sea fortress ana q
pert.
After long discussion the new
treaty between France and Italy has
been signed, thus solving one of the
most ticklish questions between the two
countries, the adjustment of which
would have been impossible a httle
while ago.

Chinaman who actually perpetrated
an American pun. It happened at
the University of Montana, at Deer
Lodge. The punning fever was rag

trated even to the kitchen, where
Ching Lee or whatever his name
was-presided as cook. The house

The Crawfsh's Tail.

The tail of a crawfish serves that
animal as an oar. By a peculiar jerk
of the tail the animal can retire from
a dangerous object with almost in
credible swiftness. The tail is much
more effective in moving the animal
backward than forward, singular
instance of adaptation to its situa-
ton, for by means of its tail it can
withdraw into its hole with such
swiftness as in an instant to place
it out of danger.
