BUTTE, Mont, Sept. 2O-The Union
Pacific passenger train from Salt Lake,
due in Butte at noon. and the Mon
tana Union mixed train. leaving the
city about the same hour, were wreck
ed in terrible head-end collision at
1920 o'clock today, about seven miles
west of Butte, and it is a miracle that
no one was killed, although number
are more or less injured and one man
seriously.
Engineer Tim Farrell and Conductor
A. T. Kellen were in charge of the IN
ion Pacific train. Both roads use the
same track from Silver Bow to Butte.
and the collision was caused by a con-
fict Of dispatcher's orders, the Union
Pacific having orders to meet the other
train at Rocker, five miles west OF
Butte, and the Montana Union was or
dered to meet the Union Pacific at Sill
yer Bow.
The collision occurred at curve mid
way between the places. When they
saw the danger, the engineers reversed
their engines and the crews of both
trains
/ SAVED THEMSELVES BY JUMPING,
otherwise they would have been killed.
The two engines crashed into each
other and passed over several cars. the
engine of the Union Pacific going over
a number of men, and all were sup
posed to be killed. The wreckage over
them was a frightful mass, and it
took several hours work to extricate
them, but all were found alive, although
they were pinioned in such narrow
space that it looked impossible that
there should be a. whole bone in their
bodies.
The injured taken out of the wreck
were:
James A. o'Brien, Eureka, Utah;
right foot and left leg badly cut and
bruised.
CHARLES F. Just, San Francisco, body
bruised and cut
julius Jacobs. Butte; leg broken.

Quinn Murphy. Leadvire; left leg
broken.

nally.
H. E. Fisher. Ogden. legs slightly
bruised.
A young man from Salt Lake, with
a foot crushed. was taken away by
friends before his name was learned.
He lost a bicycle in the wreck, and said
while he did not mind his personal in
juries, he would hold the railroad COM
pany liable for his wheel.
Passengers in the other coaches were
entirely uninjured, but were badly
shaken up.
The train was crowded and that hum
dreds were not killed is a wonder among
railroad men.
The passengers on the mixed train
were protected by several carloads OF
hay between them and the engine. All
the injured were brought to the city
hospitals and tonight are reported as
doing well.

''These are practically sure for the
opposition, although there may be a
possible dispute even along that line.
Il put my estimate upon the facts
within my own personal knowledge of
the rapid and mighty change in public
sentiment that has been going on ever
since the actual campaign of 1896 be-
gan. 1 believe that the vote of Ar
kansas, to which our opponents are
pointing with pride, is more signifi-
cant Of coming results in the middle
and western states than even the mag
nificent victory in Maine The fact
that a state like Arkansas, with the
character of whose elections we have
become familiar, exhibited such a
splendid increase of Republican votes
and such a significant decrease of
Democratic votes, is in the highest de-
gree important, and a. relative increase
of Republican votes in the other states,
in the middle and west, would give
practically a, solid vote. No sensible
man can shut his eyes to the fact that
the Mckinley tide has been rising
since about the first of August, and
that the ratio of its increasing power
grows greater every day. The entire
campaign is suggestive of 1872, when
in July and August there was q, grave
apprehension that Greeley might be
elected. Yet in November he was
Overwhelmingly and disastrously de-
feated.
II may add, in this connection, that
estimates and prophetic utterances of
our opponents may be well illustrated
by the situation in Ohio. During my
recent trip to the east, I found scores
of Republicans who were anxiously in
curing if Ohio would be carried by
Mckinley, and scores of Democrats
who insisted that their information
left me no possibility of McKinley's
defeat in his native state. 1 even saw

the question is whether or not Germany

INTERNATIONAL WOMAN's CON
GRESS


was opened here Saturday in the great
hall Of the Berlin city buildings and its
sessions will last a week. Six hun
dred woman delegates are present,
and the women are in attendance as
representatives of the women of Buda
Pesth. The proceedings yesterday were
restricted to mere formalities, and to-
day were devoted to reception of the
delegates. The matters of interna-
tional Importance to be discussed are
the woman's rights question. upon
which F. G. French of Washington,
and Mrs. Wright Sewall of Indian
apolis will speak, among others. The
following days will be devoted to the
discussion of questions affecting the
protection of children, early education
in female schools, employment of
women, wages, hours and kindred sub
jects. In the discussion on the sub
ject of working women's clubs, Mrs.
Thomas Kirkbridge, of Philadelphia,
and Mrs. Ormiston Chant, of London,
will speak, and the ladies, with others,
will address the congress upon the
fight of women against alcoholic and
other themes, including womans suf-
frage and provision for the orphan
poor. It is quite plain that the con-
gress will have
A BIG FIELD TO TRAVERSE.
A meeting of female socialists has ap-
pointed special delegates to the con-
gress. Considerable opposition is ex-
pected in the congress against the
question of womans rights and the
admission of certain delegates. The
executive committee want to quash the
motions for discussing these questions
if possible.
The Kreuse Zeitung announces that
the Conservatives of Germany are be-
ginning to share the Indignation of the
people of England at the sultans in
human government. but do not favor
the English demand for the deposition
of the sultan. The best scheme to be
followed, the paper thinks, would be
the formation of a European commits

WANTS THE LAW AMENDED,

Because of the failure to convict one,
Mrs. Fleming, recently charged with
the murder of her mother. in New York
city, Assistant District Attorney McIn-
tyre, of that city, wants the law so
amended as to abolish the death penalty
for women. and to substitute therefor
Imprisonment for life in cases where a
verdict is found in the first degree.
Mr.. Mcintyre takes the position that
had the accused not been woman, n
verdict for murder In the first degree
would have been found by the jury-that
the objection to inflicting capital pun
ishment upon women Is so strong In
New York State that 1t Is almost an i'm
possibility to secure q conviction of gull
ty.
Mr.. Mcintyre may be right in his con-
illusions as to the need of change in the
law, but there are those who dis
agree with him. If he bases his opinion
solely upon the fact that Mrs. Fleming
escaped a conviction. Both the presid-
ing judge and the jury who tried the
case are among those who differ with
him as to the Fleming case. Those who
kept posted with the progress of the trial
believe that the failure to convict was
due rather to lack OF evidence than any
other cause, and the Assistant Distric;
Attorney ought to know It.

Mckinley down to the smallest village
