associates the Importance to all the south

The recent declarations OF the Duke OF

unionists must retain their position as
separate party. with a View 20 a possible
reunion with the liberals. has called out
the latent hostility OF the conservatives.
Both sections of the coalition feel that
their league Is only a temporary one; that
the bulk of the liberals. who are now
rapidly throwing or the Gladstone ira
dition, will soon omit home rule from their
programme and that consequently re-
union of the liberal unionists and the lib
erals is certain. The Duke of Devonshire
who leads the liberal uniOnists in the
House of Lords, although he Will not send
summonses for attendance at the reopen
ing of parliament, will give dinner TO his
adherents on the eve OF the assembling OF
parliament. The conservatives wanted
him to abandon the banquet and to attend
the dinner that will be given Lord Sails
bury, but he emphatically refused 10 do so.
The Legislative programme Tor the com
ing session, which was fixed at recent
cabinet councils, contains no surprises.
A bill will be introduced for the relief OF
the agricultural distress, which proposes
the transfer of two-thirds OF the rates now
borne by the land TO the general tax pay
ers This measure will meet with the
fiercest opposition from the liberals and
some of the urban conservatives. The
government, however, has such large
majority that IL Is certain TO make the
bill law.

rite for the succession to Justin McCar-

lin, but IL will be finally decided In Lon
don, after the House Of Commons resumes
it's sittings.
The chances OF the Hon. Edward Blake,
the Canadian who sits for South Long
ford. being selected TO lead the anti-Par-
nellites, seem remote.

A COLLISION NEAR MACON.
Two Freight Trains on the Central
Come Together.

Macon, Ga, Feb. 1.-The locomo-
tives of the two extra freight
trains had a head end collision
this morning at 7:2s o'clock. seven
miles from Macon, a few miles beyond
Massey's Mills, on the main line of the
Central railroad. The collision was caused
by a complicated train order. Neither Of
the engineers were at fault. As a result
Of the accident, nineteen cars were dam
asea ana nine persons hurt. only iour lou,
OF the cars We're badly damaged. The
cars were loaded principally with guano.
One of the trains was a wood train.
The engineers of the two locomotives
were c. L. McWaters and Tom Gibson.
Engineer Gibson is a brother of DR.. Gibson
OF Macon. Both engineers are well known
in Macon.
The persons injured. and the character
OF their injuries, are as follows:
On Engineer McWaters' train:
Engineer McWaters. bruised slightly.
Fireman Aides, scslded.
brakeman j. w. Prater, slightly bruised
Flagman A. Battle, struck over the eye,
not badly hurt.
F. p fvey, wood dealer of Macon, arm
and leg bruised.
Simon Barrow, negro bruised.
Those on Engineer Gibson's train who
were hurt are:
Engineer Gibson, slightly bruised.
Fireman c. Il. Williams, slightly bruised.
Brakeman w. b. Barfield, ankle sprain-
ed.
AS soon as the railroad authorities in
Macon heard of the accident a Wrecking
train was sent to the scene, and DR.. How
ard Williams also went there to attend
to the injured.
Engineer Gibson is now at his home in
East Macon. 1t is said that after he re-
versed his engine, he jumped from IT, and
thus sustained a severe shock.
The accident happened on a curve. At
this time the track is blocked, and II is
not known how long before it will be be-
fore it is cleared.

BIDS FOR THE NEW BONDS.
some of Those Already Received ms
High as 112.

Washington, Feb. lat the close of
business to-day the treasury gold reserve
stood at $49,O50.Oe9. The Withdrawals for
the day amounted to $l32,7OO.
From present Indications the gold re-
serve is not likely to drop much lower
on next Wednesday at noon proposals for
the new $l0O,OO0,00O issue of 30-year 4 per
cent. bonds will be opened at the treasury
On two previous occasions public bids
were invited. The first was on Feb. z, 1894
when 23S separate bids were received; and
the second was on Nov. 13, 1884, when 295
separate bids were received. The number
this time is likely to be still greater as
at present while the treasury officials
vii. not state the number OF separate bids
with two and a half days more in which
bids may be submitted. AS all the bids
or nearly ALL so far submitted are sealed,
VI cannot, of course, be stated even ap-
proximately, the aggregate of the bids
already made. Quite a number of bids
are directed simply TO the Secretary OF
the Treasury, or Secretary Carlisle and
these letters, with nothing on the envelope
to Indicate the nature of their contents,
ordinary routine Of business. In some in
stances the price bid has been, IL is said,
as high as liz, but this figure has been
only for small amounts. AS on former
occasions, the heavy bidders will proba-
bly, not submit their proposals until the
last day or So and come in person with
their propositions and be present at the
opening There seems at present no rea-
son TO doubt that the issue of 500 GOO 900
figures the treasury viii accept, remains
m no seen.
