ON THE COG ROAD.
What Might Have Been Bad Ac-
cident Near Manitou Ayerted.

What Might Have been Bad Ac-
cident Near Manitou Averted.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Aug. 30
What might have been one of the most dis
astrous railway wrecks of the year, was
narrowly averted on the famous Pixies
Peak Cog road. just two miles above
Manitou, this afternoon. The engine with
one car completely filed with passengers
left the summit of Pixies peak shortly
after Z o'clock. Everything went well
until one of the steepeSt grades Of the
road above Manitou Cog station was
reached, when one of the connecting rods
of the engine broke and twisted out a
cylinder head.
Control of the ponderous piece of ma
chinery was lost Immediately, and it
started down the steep grade with a.
frightful momentum. the engineer and
fireman jumped for their lives, and es-
capped with only a severe shaking up.
The runaway engine renamed on the rails
for a distance Of nearly g. nlile when just
above Shady Springs, it jumped the track
and coilided with a gigantic rock, which
it split in twain. The rebound sent the
engine into a. ravine 100 feet below The
engine preceded the passenger coach, but
was not attached to it. When the danger
became apparent, the signal was given
for the coach brakes, and the car was
stopped before it also got beyond control,
thus probably saving the lives of scores
of tourists. In the car were a party of
distinguished railway people, including
General Manager Frederick Howard, Of
the London and Northwestern railroad,
and General superintendent Turnbull, Of
the same road.

JAMESTOWN, N Y. Aug. 3O.-Mr.
and Mrs. Bryan attended service at
the First Presby terrain church here
this morning and heard Rev. c. M
Coiville, the pastor, preach a sermon
from the text beginning: He saw a
great multitude" This was construed
into a reference to the vast audience
which Mr.. Bryan addressed at Celoron
on Lake Chautauqua. last night.
Mr.. and Mrs Bryan left Jamestown
today on a special trolley car for Lake
Wood. six miles from this city. On the
way to the lake Mr.. Bryan read in a
newspaper that no hall could be OBJ
tanned in which he could address the
people in Toledo on Wednesday night.
Commenting on this he said he would
speak IN the open prairies at Toledo,
IL the people wanted to hear him.
Tomorrow morning the nominee and
his wife viii make the trip up the
length Of Chautauqua lake by boat TO
ChautauQua, and from there they will
be driven across the country sixteen
miles to Ripley, where Mr.. Bryan will
speak. In the afternoon they will con
tinue their journay westward to Cleve-
land.

CANTON, Aug. SO.-Ma5or Mckinley
spent a very q.-iet Sunday today. The
greater part Of his mail was piled on
his desk untouched waiting for tomor-
row. Only the most important of his
telegwams were answered. The major
had for his guest Hon. Benjamin But
worth, who Is on his way to the
northwest, where he will go on the
stump for the Republican party. Ma
jor ButteTwprth accompanied Major
Mckinley to church this morning,
where they listened to a sermon by
Bishop Mills. Tonight Major Batter
worth spoke most etoquently OF his
distinguished host.
Il was going to church with him
this morning. and as we walked along
the quiet. shady street took occasion
to say to him that his name was ON
every tongue, and that he was known
in every land. and asked him if that
fact did not tend TO exalt him in his
own eyes,
NO. he said. If it tends to any
thing it makes me more sensible of
my own shortcomings and causes me
to seek with greater earnestnesS than
an all my life to learn the way in which
bv feet should go. Never before have

THAT SECOND TICKET.
The New York "SOund Money Dem
ocrats to Select District Dele
gates Today.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. 30.-Syra-
cuse is again the center of the assem-
bIage of a large body of influential
Democrats from all sections of the
state They are here to meet in con-
vention tomorrow to select sixty-eight
district delegates and four delegates-at-
large to attend the sound money" con-
vention of the national Democratic
party, which meets at Indianapolis on
Wednesday next. 1t is expected that
the national convention will nominate
a second ticket for president and vice
president to represent the views of
those Democrats who favor Sound
money" and are unalterably opposed
to w. j. Bryan and the platform in
which are enuncia1ed the principles
which he says the Democratic party
stands for this year.
The convention will be under the
auspices of the New York Democratic
Party Reform organization. 1t was the
opinion of many of the leaders tonight
that the convention, after it elects the
delegates and adopts a platform, should
adjourn until a few days after the
Democratic state convention at Buffalo
on September 16, when this convention
Dental electors of the gold standard
Democrats for this state. This will
give the delegates an opportunity to
ascertain how the regular Democratic
state convention Will perform its work
and enable them to determine whether
they shall place in the field a second
Democratic state ticket for governor,
Neutenant- governor and judge of court
of appeals. Many favor the placing of
a second state ticket in the field in case
the Democratic state convention en-
dorses Bryan and the Chicago platform.
Others say that the question of state
politics has nothing to do with the ma
tional issues and that the work of
sound money Democrats in the state
should not be divided. All seem to ia
vor the postponeanent of a decision of
the question of a. second state ticket
till after the Buffalo convention. This
course will undoubtedly be followed.
The platform which is to be adopted
tomorrow will come out squarely in
favor of a single gold standard and will
not endorse bimetallism, even if an in
ternational agreement can be brought
about

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Consul
General Mills ait Honolulu, supplement-
ing a. former report calling attention
from San Francisco to New York,
writes to the department under date
of August Is, that during the six
months ending June 80 the total ex-
ports from Honolulu to the United
States were valued at $S,74S, 526. 40,

cargo which went TO Boston. Already
during the present calendar year the
direct shipments to New York have
amounted to $3,046, 36S.49.
Consul Muth. at Magdeburg, in a
report to the state department, says
the first reply to Germany in reference
to increased sugar bounties comes from
Austria, where the consumption tax
has been increased from $4.45 to $5.26
per 100 kilos raw sugar net, and the
total amount of export bounty to be
granted by the government has gone
UP from $2023,006 to 1854, 400. The
new law went into operation August l

France for the present has only in
creased the duty 6S cents ON raw sugar
and 81 cents ON refined grades per 100
kilos to prevent German sugar enter
ing the country to compete with her
own product, but she is confidently ex-
pected to increase the export bounty
soon or pay an open bounty to meet
German sugar in the worlds market.

CONSTANTINOPLE. Aug. 3O.-The
city today has been quiet and no re-
ports of further disturbance has been
received. 1t is officially announced
that the government has decided to
leave it to the choice of the citizens
whether or not the city shall be illu-
minated tomorrow evening upon the
occasion of the twentieth anniversary
Of the accession to the throne of the
sultan. No pyrotechnic displays will

exploded in the Galatea. quarter. Six
Armenians were arrested. Bombs were
also thrown al the officers of the Credit
Lyonnaise and the tobacco reggie.
Yesterday the foreign diplomats, af-
ter holding a somewhat protracted con-
ference, wired a strongly worded note
to the Yildiz palace, appealing to the
sultan directly, in the name of the
countries they represented, to put a
stop to the horrors which were being
enacted, and which, in some instances,
members of the various embassies had
been eye witnesses. The foreign
representatives., in their note, mention
ed the violation and pillage of the
homes of foreigners and the massacre
of Aremnians, and warned the sultan
of the grave consequences which would
ensue if a stop were not put to the kill
ing and pillage

the Effects.

DENVER, Colo, Aug. 3o.-sergeant Ivy
Baldwin, attached to the signal service of
the department of the Colorado, fell from
his balloon while making an ascension at
Eliths gardens today, and will probably
die of his injuries.
As the balloon was released and rushed
upwards a sudden gust of wind blew the
aeronaut, swinging from a trapeze, against
a tree. The shock dazed him SO that he
lost his presence of mind and when above
the tree tops he let go his hold, falling a
distance of forty feet. Both arms were
broken, his hip dislocated and one eye
was seriously wounded. He was taken to
st. Anthony's hospital, where he lies I'M

Ivy Baldwin has had a romantic career,
having given balloon exhibitions all over
the world. About two years ago Captain
W. A. Glasford, who has been expert
mentng with balloons as means Of
signalling in army work, induced Baldwin
to enlist and his practical knowledge of
ballooning has been of great value The
aeronaut has been taking great interest in
the equipment of the new balloon park
at Fort Logan, where practical operations
were soon to be inaugurated.

The last two named are charged with
being confederates of Ennis in a scheme
heretofore described in these dispatch

Ennis voluntarily took the stand and
under oath made a sweeping confess
sion, stating that as agent of a con-
Germ calling itself THE Royal Manu-
featuring company he built a factory
for manufacturing spurious dollars,
which were to be nodded and milled
by steam power by the million. The
commissioner placed Ennis bail at &c.,

THE JAPANESE CABINET.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9O.-The only
significance to be attached to the resig-
nation of the entire japanese cabinet,
which was apparently not deemed of
sufficient Importance in Toxic official
circles TO notify the legation at Wash
ington, is thought here to be wholly
personal. Count Ito having resigned,
after long wishing to be relieved of Of
fetal cares, his colleagues have formal
ly rendered their designations on the
appointment Of his successor, to give
the new premier, Count Kuroda, an
opportunity to select his own asso-
ciates.
Count Kuroda has previously filled
the premiership, but on account of the
difference with parliament about five
years ago, was succeeded by Yama-
gaia, who, in turn. was Ito's prede-
cessor.
Parliament is now in session and it
is therefore preposterous to attempt to
attribute any political reasons for the
cabinet change.

5. Grant, jr., as well as Lo F'ung Lu,
the Chinese interpreter. On the steps
outside stood General Ruger, General
Horace Porter, Colonel j. J. McCook,
j. H. Seward and Captain Mills. Sew
eral members of the viceroys suite,
including his son, Lord Lii also STOOD
near the entrance Lis wreath was a
feet in diameter and consisted of bay
leaves and white and mauve orchids
tied with yellow velvet. The occasion
seemed to affect Ii deeply. In CONVEX
sation with Colonel Grant, he referred
to his warm admiration of the late gen
erals qualities. One OF the leading
reasons, he added, for returning home
by America was to visit his friends
grave. Through the interpreter he
made many inquiries about the
masusoleum, towards which he for
warded Hon. John Russell Young a
check for $500
After remaining standing for twenty
minutes alongside Of the casket Lii ut
tered several words in Chinese and
made a profound bow. Stepping back
ward to the door he repeated the same
words to himself and made a second
bow. Then he withdrew. AS he seated
himself in the sedan chair the crowd
UTTERED A ROUSING CHEER.
This seemed to please him greatly for
he gently nodded his head.
The entire party then entered car
riages and were driven to the residence
of Colonel Grant in East Sixty-second
street. There a crowd of 5000 people
awaited him. Ii declined the use of
the sedan chair and leaning on the
arm of General Ruger and Colonel
Grant he assembled the fight of car
peted steps. At the door he was met
by Ulysses S. Grant, son of the late
general. The other members of the
party followed.
The viceroy was conducted to the
parlOr where he was received by Mrs
Grant, widow of the late general. Mrs.
Grant and Ii are old friends and the
meeting was affecting. Mrs. Grant met
his excellency in China in 1879, when
accompanying Ger eral Grant on his
trip around the world.
The viceroy was presented to all the
invited guests. He spoke feelingly to
Mrs. Grant Of the great loss she had
sustained in the death of her husband
and said that he would always cherish
the generals memory. Then the vice
roy presented Mrs. Grant with several
pieces of brocaded silk, rare Chinese
vase and number of chests of tea.
He also presented U. S. Grant. jr., son
of Colonel Grant, with a valuable
jadestone. The viceroy seemed to
ENJOY HIS VISIT GREATLY.
Refreshments were served, but Lii con-
tented himself with taking two cups
of tea and smoking a few cigarettes
The visit lasted an hour.
When Lii was on the point of leaving
Mrs. Grant presented him with large
sized steel engraving of her husband.
Ii Hung Chang, accompanied by
Colonel Grant, reached the Waldorf on
his return at Gas p. m.
The viceroy retired for the night at
$50 o'clock.
He will leave the hotel tomorrow
morning at 1880 to board the United
States dispatch boat Dolphin. After
inspecting the warships down the bay,
Westpoint will be visited.
