DENVER (Col), Jan. IA special
train on the Denver and Rio Grande,
carrying the New Years edition of the

was wrecked at Malta, five miles from
Its destination at $40 p. m.
The killed are Abe Baker, engineer,
Salida; Fl. Hartman, fireman. Salida.
Four men in the baggage car escaped
unhurt, and the one coach was unin-
jured.
The train departed at 1:30 a. M,
making the run to Pueblo at an aver
age speed of forty-four miles per hour
200 miles distant, was reached at $50
a. m, and thence to Malta, fifty-eight
miles, the speed was close to fifty miles
per hour.
At the Malta switch, after the loco
motive had passed and was turning a
sharp curve, the switch rail slid back,
causing the locomotive to turn over
upon the depot platform. The two cars
ran upon the sloping sidetrack, the
baggage car turning completely over.
The Denver Republican" entered in
this race by hiring a special train from
the Colorado Midland, which left Den
yer thirty minutes ahead of its rival,
and safely reached Leadville at 7:1O
a. M, making the run in six hours and
five minutes.
The strain upon the locomotive was
evidently terrific, and it is doubtful if
the officials will soon repeat this per-
formance.

SOUTH AFRICAN TROUBLES.
England Endeavoring to Avoid Serious
CONSEQUENCES.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-Right Hon. Jo-
seph Chamberlain, Secretary of State
for the Colonies, has issued an official
statement that he is now in communica-
tion with President Kruger of the South
African republic, in an endeavor TO
avoid serious consequences Of the un-
authorized and altogether unjustifiable
act of Dr. Jameson, the administrator
of the British South Africa Company, in
leading force of from 500 to 700 men
into the Transvaal to assist the Uit-
landers in their contention against the
South African republic.
Governor Robinson of Cape Colony
has issued a proclamation publicly re-
pudiating the act of DR.. Jameson, and
has caused to be published in the
newspapers of Pretoria and Johannes
burg an injunction in the name of the
Queen to all her majestys subjects in
the Transvaal not to give aid to DR..
Jameson, but to obey the law and OBJ
serve order.
Messengers have been sent to over
take Jameson conveying orders to him
and every officer accompanying him
that they shall retire from the Trans
vaal territory Immediately The stu
fact that DIR. Jameson cut the wires
behind him, rendering telegraphic COM
munication with him impossible.
Mr.. Chamberlain sent a telegram to
the British South Africa Company ask
ing them to repudiate Jameson and his
acts. To this dispatch the company re-
pied that they were entirely ignorant of
Jamieson's acts or purposes. Cecil
Rhodes, Prime Minister to Cape Col
ony, in connection with this reply,
stated that Jameson had acted without
authority. He (Rhodes) had tried to
stop him when he learned that he had
gone into the Transvaal, but found
that the wires had been cut, and that
consequently he could not communicate
with him.
DR.. Jameson wrote a letter to the
commandant at Mariccland refusing to
withdraw from the Transvaal, and
avowing that he would proceed upon
his original plans. which, in accept
ance of the invitation of the principal
residents of Rand, were to assist them
in their demands for justice.

BRUTAL MURDER.
Killing of David Austin, Chief of In
dian Police in Alaska.

dian Police in Alaska.
PORT TOWNSEND CWash), Jan. 1.
-Ex-Judge Warren Truitt of the Dis
trict Court of Alaska, who arrived from
the north on the Topeka this morning,
brought full particulars of the brutal
murder at Sitka of Donald Austin,
Chief of the Indian Police on December
21st last.
AS a result of the tragedy, Judge K.
T. X. Delaney, who succeeded Truitt,
has bound over Herbert Mills, the prin-
cipal for murder; Chum Long, the pro-
prietor of the saloon in which the muir
der was committed, IN a charge of man
slaughter, and two sailors from the cut
ter Wolcott for assault.
On the night of the murder a num-
ber of white men and Indians were
drinking in Longs saloon, when a row
started between Austin and Mills. Two
sailors took hand and floored Austin,
and while he was down Mills sprang
upon him and brutally knocked his
head against the hard floor again and
again. Unconscious, he was thrown into
the back room of the saloon by Long
and left to die. The Indians of Sitka,
among whom Chief Austin was very
popular, became alarmed at his disap-
pearance, mad began inquiries. Two
days later Long became frightened,
and threw Austins lifeless body into
the street, where it was found a few
hours later.
AS soon as the news spread among
the Indians, a general uprising was
threatened, and mutterings became so
loud that plans for defense were has
tily made by citizens, assisted by officers
of the Wolcott. For twenty-four hours
there was an increasing excitement
among both the Indians and whites,
the latter being almost afraid to leave
their homes, but the summary action of
Judge Delaney gradually brought
about order, though the Indians de-
clare that nothing less than one life
will atone for the murder of Chief Aus
tin. The trouble is not ended.

BOND AND TARIFF MEASURES.
Probable Action Which the Senate
Finance Committee VIII Take.

Probable Action Which the Senate
Finance Committee VIII Take.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-The Senate
Committee on Finance will hold its
first meeting under the reorganization
tomorrow. Although final action may
not be taken either on the bond or tariff
bill recently passed by the House, some
members OF the committee will urge
speedy action. and, if possible, an inn
mediate report.
The best judgment of the situation
indicates that the bond bill will be dis
cussed in committee, and substitute
of a free coinage bill reported. Moth
ing short of this will satisfy the silver
men on the committee. and as they
have eight votes they can defeat any
measure they choose.
Wolcott of Colorado, one of the new
men added to the committee, has not
been in Washington this winter, owing
to Ill health. but his absence makes
little difference, the silver men still
having a working majority of two in
the committee, and a clean majority in
the Senate of ten or twelve.
It is possible that the tariff bill will be
reported to the Senate without amend
ment. Republicans have been making
every effort to get together on this
measure, and the silver Republicans
who viii vote for free coinage as a sub
stitute for the bond proposition, it is
believed, can be persuaded to refrain
from putting such an amendment in
the tariff bill. Republican leaders hope
to see the bill pass the Senate as it came
from the House. II is believed tha Pres
ident will veto it. and it is thought by
the Republicans to be good politics to
put the President where he will be com
PEELED to veto measure that is in
tended to increase the receipts and pro-
vide adequate revenues.
Whether the Republicans can be lined
up on this proposition or persuaded to
not insist upon amendments, is a ques-
ton no one can yet answer 1t is not
unlikely that after the bill is reported
a Republican caucus will be held to dis
euss the subject and agree upon a poll
icy.
