Kinley's nying-rosp. Ths telephone cou-
pany put direct Chicago wire into the
Mckinley houselfo use to-day and there
were twelve receivers attached to this
end of it.
The first delegation to arrive was that
from East Tennessee, about 500 strong.
and they were all enthusiastic and demon
strative. The spokesman was Editor Will
liam Rule of Knoxville. Among those in
the delegation were the donors of the
large hickory stump which Major McKin-
ley received some time ago from King
County, Tennessee. The candidate to-day
made use of the stump for the first time.
In addressing the Tennesseeans Major
Mckinley spoke as follows:
The honor of this call is mine, not yours. l
appreciate that you have come a great dis
tance, almost the greatest distance of any
delegation which has yet visited me, to pay
your respects to me, not personally, but rather
to testify your devotion to the principles of the
Republican party and your determination that
those principles shall triumph at the election
on the Sd day of November. Your presence
here recalls pleasant and inspiring memories
connected with the early history of your State.
A delegation of 500 miners from Mo-
nongahela County, Pa, then marched
up to the house. Thomas Pollock made a
short speech of introduction. to which
Major Mckinley responded. The next
delegation, also Pennsylvania one, was
made up of citizens from Warren ana
Forest counties and bered 900. Mr..
Mckinley addressed them as follows:

the population of the State of Pennsylvania
that doubt has been removed since the ST.
Louis convention. Laughter and applausel

Haggertv was popular engineer among
his brother-engineers, and trusty, care
full man. For seven years he was engineer
on the Santa Cruz division, and had a
wide circle OF friends in that section.
Bowsher is not so well known among the
train crews, but is a steady, cheerful fel-
low.
Said one of the grizzled old engineers
who watched the operation of laying the
switch about the wreck to allow passage
of trains: "Thati is one of the worst smash
ups 1 ever saw, and I've seen some bad
ones. Just think what the loss OF life
would had been had it been passenger
train instead of a freight.
1t is quite probable that the engineer
and fireman of the freight did not see the
runaway cars until they were directly
upon them, and Haggerty probably never
knew wnat happened. The night was so
dark that all beyond the range of the en-
gine's headlight was absolutely invisible.
If the engineer did survive for fraction
OF a minute his agonies must have been
appalling, for escaping steam penetrated
every Granny of that portion OF the wreck
People who live near the scene of the
collision say that they were awakened in
stantly by the shock and the subsequent
noise. From the moment the dreadful
accident occurred until long after dark to-
night the wreck has been surrounded by
hundreds of onlookers.
The work of removing the wreckage
from the main line will occupy two days
so the foreman of the wrecking crew states
and in the meantime trains are running
about the heap on a hastily constructed
switch
Last fall a very similar wreck was mar
rowly averted in the same spot, when a
number of cars laden with coal escaped
from the side track running up to the
Stanford University campus and missed
hitting passenger train by but few feet.

Seeord began an inquest this afternoon at
Palo Alto over the body of Engineer Henry
Haggerty, who was killed in the wreck
this morning. A jury of eight men was
impaneled and three witnesses were exam
ined to identity the deceased.

Clinton County, Ohio, farmers to the
number of 800 followed the last delega-
ton. Clinton County is IN the rich agri-
cultural section of Ohio, and its citizens
are among the most prosperous farmers in
the world. 1t is strong Republican
county. These points were brought out
by the spokesman, Judge Adon. Major
Mckinley had not been notified of the
coming of this delegation and his remarks
were wholly impromptu.
The speech which Major Mckinley ex-
pected to make first was made last. The
ex-Confederate veterans who were ex-
pected to arrive at $3.50 in the morning
did not all reach Canton until P. M.
They came on three special Burlington
and Ohio trains from the Valley of the
Shenandoah, and the party mum bered in
the aggregate nearly 1000. One-half of
them were men who had worn the Con-
federate gray and fought under Stone
wall Jackson. The veterans were met at
the train by the Grand Army posts of
Canton and Stark County and by the

Southern Pacific Officials Cannot account
for the Disaster.


for the Disaster.
The Southern Pacific officials in San
Fra ncisco declared they could not ac.
count for the cause of the PaIo Alto
wreck-that is, how the two freight
cars happened to be on the main track.
All the information regarding the wreck
received at Mr.. Fillmore's Office came in a
telegram early in the morning. This con-
tanned the merest outline of the accident
and some additional matter in the form
of a report which told the track had not
been cleared and temporary track was
laid around the wreck so that trains could
run through on time.
The accident occurred at 2:10 A. M,
which is known from remarkable Incl
| dent of the smash-up. The conductor was
in the caboose when the crash came. He
was thrown up against the cupola with
great force and received a very bad
shaking, but the only real damage done
was the shattering of his watch. As the
hands pointed to 2:10 it is known that is
the time the accident happened.
Assistant Manager N H. Foster stated
that ali energy was at first expended on
restoring communication along the line
cause of the wreck. According to official
reports two freight cars were on the siding
at Palo Alto, but somehow had become
free and moved on to the main line
There is slight grade downward toward
the south from the switch, and this &C
counts for the movement OF the cars.
1t proves to be wholly different ques-
tion as to how the cars ever got away at
first. The railroad managers said they
believed it was the work Of some miscre-
ant who, under cover of darkness. delibe-
rately turned off the brakes and let the
cars move from the switch by gravity and
their own momentum.
However, there was a possibility that
the trainmen, after switching the
two freightcars at Palo Alto, had failed to
secure them by tightening the brakes,
with the result that the cars moved down
the gentle grade. Which theory is right
occupied the Southern Pacific detectives
and operating department all day, but
the result of their inquiries was not salts
factory.
Itwould not be admitted that the brakes
and their attachments were at fault. hav-
ing been in a worn-out condition and ut
terly incapable of holding the cars in
check AS the brakes were broken in the
crash all evidence of possible neglect was
gone.
Bowsher is stated 20 have been the only
striking fireman to be taken back by the
railroad. He used to fire for Littlejohn,
one of the oldest engin eers running on
the western division to Sacramento. He

ENTITLED TO DECIDE
WHICH IS THAT ONE.
Supreme Court Decision Which Laid Low Would
Be Boss Kelly and Boss Buckley at the
Same Time at One Stroke-Ruef
Is Crestfallen.

The lly-Mahoney faction were
given a singing blow by the Supreme
Court yesterday. ID. L. Farnsworth, the
tendent of Streets of this City, and
James b. Brown, candidate for Sena-
torial honors from the Seventeenth
Senatorial District, were denied the
writ of mandate by which they sought
to compel william NJ. Hinton, Regis
trar, to file their certificates of nomina-
tion.
At the same time the court denied the
petition for q similar writ to ID. A. Mac
donald, the Buckley candidate for the
position of superintendent of Streets.
The Farnsworth and Brown cases were
set up as tests by the Kelly d ahoney-
ties, one concerning the strictly muni-
cipal and the other the legislative
ticket. The Buckley Democrats rested
their case on the issue of the petition
of Macdonald alone.
The opinion of tho court was written
by Justice Mcfarland, and Justices
Hens haw, Van v1eet and Temple con-
Cured. Justices Harrison, Beatty and
Garroutte dissented.
The point of the decision is that ''a po-
litical party which at the last election
polled at least per cent of the entire vote
can be represented only by one conven-
tion," and that where two or more bod
les claim to be the convention contem-
plated by the code the Registrar must de-
termine which one of the bodies was an
organized assemblage of delegates repre-
senting the particular political party
named"
For days the Kelly Mahoney faction
has been anxiously watching for this de-
cision as drowning man might grasp at
a straw. Fifteen minutes after the deci-
sions of the courts were handed into the
office of the clerk woe-begone delegation
from the Kelly-Mahoney headquarters
filed in and read with growing soiemnity
the decision which ended their attempt to
force the Registrar to give them official
recognition.

RIO GRANDE WESTERN PLANS.
There Will BE Much building il
Utah This Year.

There is no doubt but that the year
1896 will see more railroad construction
in Utah than during any period in the
past five years There is no reason to
believe that the Rio Grande Western
will stop it's present proposed extension
from Salina to Richfeld, a distance Of
only about twenty miles. In fact,
there is every reason to think that the
company will extend as far as Marys-
vale this year, and that when the sea-
son comes to a close the grade will be
constructed several miles in the direc-
ton of Cedar City
Nothing leading to this conclusion
has been announced publicly by the
management but there are some other
movements being made at the present
time that confirm the belief, expressed
early in last fall, that the company will
keep its promise made to the people of
Marysvale by President Palmer and
Vice President Peabody last spring,
that a railroad would be constructed
into that camp within one year from
that time.
1t is announced by the management
that all the contracts for the grading
of the extension to Richfield have been
let All the ties sufficient for these
twenty miles have been purchased by
the company. A corps of engineers is
now in the field crosS-sectioning the
grade for the benefit of the contrac-
tors, and with the first disappearance
of the frost from the ground the ac-
tual work of grading will be commence
ed The ties are now being distributed
along portions of the line to be built,
and as fast as the grade is made the
work will be followed UP by the track
layers.
The rails necessary to lay this ex-
tension will be the old thirty-pound
Salina branch from Thistle over to
Manti a distance of CO.'S miles, and
this will be replaced by the heavy 81
pound steel rail that the company has
had piled up at Asphaltum since the
latter part of 1892. 1t was the former
intention to relay the old light rail
as far as Mount Pleasant only, a dis
tance of about forty miles, and this
would have furnished ample rail to
lay the extension to Richfield and
leave plenty of material to lay sidings.
The later decision to take up the light
rail as far as Manti gives color to the
prevailing belief that the present in
tention is to build to Marysvale instead
of stopping at Richtfeld.
The distance from Salina to Marys-
vale, according to the surveys that
were made in 1891. is 44.3 miles, and 1t
can be readily seen that by taking up
the light rail between Thistle and Man
IT, the company will have material
enough to construct as fan as Marys-
vale
The work of taking up This light
rail and replacing lit over theS mount
ain with the heavy steel, is just about

with thirty men on each win Woxk

CHINESE CONSUL FIRED.
Caused by the Celestial fractional
Troubles in Frisco.

SAN FRANCISCO Jan. 14.-The Chron-
icle says that Ii Yung Yew, the Chinese
consel general in this city, has received
a dispatch from the Chinese minister at
Washington relieving him from his posi-
ton and appointing Flung Yung Hi, the
consePs former secretary as his sue
cessor. AS Ii Yung Yew was supposed to
be extremely popular with the powers al
Pekin and his removal has caused much
discussion in Chinatown. Yung's dismissal
is to some extent wrapped in that mys-
terry which surrounds all Chinese affairs
of state. 1t is the more sensational when
it is considered that he has high court
connections in Pekin and was the init
mate friend and counsellor of the present
Chinese minister at Washington He
was appointed consel general to this
city in 1891 after serving his emperor in
certain diplomatic visits to South Amer
lea.
At the Chinese consulate the attaches
say that Young Yew's relieval from the
post is but the preparatory act to be-
slowing further honors upon his head
that he is to be appointed a special agent
of the emperor to negotiate a treaty be-
tween the court of Pekin and that of
President Diaz of Mexico. Merchants in
Chinatown say that the change is due
to the fight that has been going on for
months between the Sam Yups and the
See Yups two of the Six Companies. that
