Mckinley Rises to Explain to the Amer
lean Protective Association.
CLEVELAND, April 15.--The Leader, a
newspaper that more nearly than any
other represents William Mckinley,
gives ont a statement denying all
the charges made against Mckinley by
those claiming to represent the Ameri
can Protective Association. 1t is stated
that Mckinley is not member of the
Ancient Order of Hiberniane, that he is
member of the Methodist church and
his private secretary is an Episcopalian,
of which church Mark Hanna is also a
member. Mckinley is a Free Mason,
comrade of the Grand Army of the Re
public, member of the Union Veteran
Union, and Sons of the American Revo
luton; also of the Loyal Legion and of a
college fraternity. The statement is au
thorized that Mckinley knows nothing
whatever of an application from any or
ganization to visit him at Canton, and
he never refused to meet any person OF
committee of any kind.

struck by the Cars Near the Boston and
Montana Works.
About 10 o'clock Tuesday evening
Thomas Collins, a switchman, was struck
by the cars in the Montana Central
yards at the Boston and Montana works
and quite seriously injured.
Collins was standing at switch, pre-
pairing to cut some flying cars on to d
sidetrack.
His attention was diverted for mo-
ment as the cars we're rushing upon him.
On account of the binding snowetorm
and high wind he neither cav nor heard
the approaching cars until they struck
him. He was hurled to the ground and
the cars passed over him. Collins was
almost unconscious when extricated
from beneath the cars and was suffering
intensely.
He was placed on an engine and
brought to the Great Falls depot, where
he was met by an ambulance and was
taken to Columbus hospital.
At the hospital, an examination re-
vealed the fact that the car wheels had
passed over bis left leg, just above the
ankle, breaking it and crushing the bone.
He was also badly bruised about the
body. The injuries he received are
serious, but whether they may prove
fatal or not depends on the nature Of the
internal injuries he may have received
and on this point the hospital doctor
who was summoned declines to express
an opinion at present.
Thos. Collins is a single man, and
boarded at the Ulm house. He is q
brother of Yardmaster Collins, who was
in charge of the yards of the Montana
Central here until about year ago, when
he left to take position at Birmingham
Alabama He has also another brother
in the railroad service here. His family
live in Kansas. He is we'll known
among the railroad men here, and has a
great many friends among them.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The senate
spent the entire day on the Du-
pont case, Gray of Delaware arguing
against the claim of Dupont. During
the day, German proposed an agreement
that a final vote on the Dupont case be
taken next Wednesday. Mitchell, in
charge of the case, declined to make any
agreement at this time. This tender by
German was regarded as significant of
the confidence of the opposition to Du-
pont to resist his claims to his seat.
Gray will proceed with his speech to-
morrow, after which there is promise of
further clash over taking up the bond
resolution, as Allison stated today that
the bond question must give way to the
appropriation bills.
