Terrible Accident on Passenger Train
I'm Alabama.
MEMPHIS CTenn.), Dec. PA spe-
cial to the Commercial Appeal from
Birmingham, Ala, says: The Birming-
ham Mineral passenger train, No. +.
was wrecked at Cahaba river bridge.
twenty-seven miles from here, at 7:50
o'clock this morning, and at least TWEEN
ty-one lives were lost. That number of
bodies have been recovered, and fur
Their search may swell the list of dead.
The wreck is said 10 faye been &C
complished by the removal of raj
on the middle span of the trestle. This
derailed the train, which caused it 70
fall down the two spans and precipi-
tated it into the river 10 feet below.
The wreck was the worst that has ever
occurred in the State, and the survi-
vors are so few and are so badly hurt
that they are unable to give any de-
tailed description of how it happened.
1t is not known and may never be as
certained just how many passengers
were on the train. Most of them were
miners and residents of mining towns
in this district. who had round-trip
tickets and were returning to their
homes along the line of the Birming-
ham Mineral road.

Secretary Olncy Attempting TO Treat
with spain.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 2S.--The
Post will tomorrow say: 1t has been
learned from an authentic source that
Secretary Olney and Senior Dupuy de
LONE have practically terminated the
negotiations of the Cuban question,
which are to be submitted to Congress
when it convenes on January 5th. The
terms of the agreement are based on
the recent official communication from
Premier Canovas. addressed to the Sec
rotary of State.
The Premier states clearly the terms
which Spain will accord to the insur-
gents and practically asks the United
States to propose these conditions 20
her rebellious subjects. In return for
our good offices. Spain assures ;his
Government that she sincerely deplOres
the great commercial loss which we
have sustained on account of the Gu
ban disturbances. She assures us she
is even now considering a reciprocity
treaty which will deal mainly with Gu
ban products and which Will be framed
in such advantageous terms toward
this Government that our losses, both
in commerce and in the destruction Of
American property in Cuba will be
most generously copensated.
Premier CanOvas says Spain cannot,
of course. as a self-respecting and re-
spected nation. stand before the world
as having been coeTced into measures
BY the United States. She has freely
granted all she now offers, and that in
the face of a rebellion. But she ac-
cepts the good Offices of the United
States to act as mediator and to guar
antee 20 the insurgents amnesty and
the enforcement of the new reform law
which she is about to proclaim in
Cuba.
The form of government offered is,
the Spanish statesman declares, the
limit of independence which can be
granted TO a province by any nation
without absolutely severing the bonds

SYMPATHY WITH STRIKERS.
Meeting of Boston street Car Men and
Their Friends.

Meeting of Boston street Car Men and
Their Friends.
BOSTON, Dec. 2S.-Fanueil Hall was
crowded with people tonight in re-
Spouse to the call issued by the Street
car Mems Union, eighty of whose mem
bers have been discharged by the West
End Company. President Little of the
road has been invited to attend, but
declined. On the platform were Sen
ators, ex-Congressmen, lawyers, loo
tors, clergymen, philanthropists and
business men, while in the gallery were
many women.
Rev. Scott r. Hershey of Boston stat
ed his sympathy and convictions were
with the employees of the road. George
Fred Williams, late Democratic candi-
date for Governor, said he was present
to protest against wrong. Honest men
had been thrown out of employment
and millions of dollars have been spent
on the streets and given to private cor
porations for nothing. After other
speeches it was voted that a commit
tee be appointed to wait upon -he COM
pany and protest against any further
discharges; to demand the reinstate-
ment of the men and to obtain 4 con-
ference so the agreement migh- be
discussed.

BOSTON, Dec. 22.-The will of the
late Henry L. Pierce, president Of
the Walter Baker Chocolate Company.
with four codicils has been filed in the
Suffolk Probate Court by George Put
nam and William Lowell Putnam, the
executors named therein, and disposes
Of about $4,000, 900.
The document is remarkable for the
number and extent of it's requests to
educational institutions, and it also
makes Thomas Bailey Aldrich, the All
thor and poet, a rich man.
Mr.. Pierce gives to Mr.. Aldrich his
house and barn and about two acres OF
land at POnkapog, all the furniture in
the house occupied by the deceased at
his summer residence at Ponkapog,
and also to Thomas Bailey Aldrich and
his wife the sum of 100000. Charles

United States Consul Monaghan, N
Chemnitz. sends these statistics to the
State Department 10 back up his state
ments that Germany's beet sugar IL
dustry has been making huge strides in
a dozen years, in part owing to intel
hgent Government aid and also TO the
energy of the manufacturers who be
lieve in helping themselves. He says
that intensive farming. rather than eX-
tensive farming may be made as profit
able in Nebraska and Ohio as in Ger
many, and he sees no reason TO doubt
that America can profitably make her
own beet sugar and save the great
sums that are annually spent in Ger
many for this article.

MR.. JOHNSON TALKS.

Mr.. j. II. Johnson, representative Of
the F. G. Davidge agency in Portland,
which is the general agent of the Ore
gon-Asiatic steamship line, said:
There were 166 boxes of crackers
shipped on the Mount Lebanon by the
Portland Cracker Company. Then
drayman brought eight more boxes
We had no means of knowing whether
the party who shipped the eight cases
was connected with the cracker com
pany or not. We accepted the ship
ment and issued a bill of lading for
ia packages to the Portland Cracker
Company. Ali the miscellaneous
freight from Portland to the Islands
was slowed aft of No. 4 hatch between
decks. This freight was piled up be-
tween 200 tons Of -four. at the extreme
stern. and 80 tons of oats, mill-feed,
etc. and it would have been impos-
sibIe for the packages to he tempered
with after being stored. without shift
ing cargo. and that seems impossible"
Yesterday afternoon Collector Black
and District Attorney Murphy had a
talk with James r. Parks. the sup
posed smuggler. at the office of the
latter He was closely questioned.
Parks freely admitted buying the eight
cases of crackers from the Oregon Ger
man Bakery and sending them to the
steamship dock He claimed that he
simply acted as the agent of other
parties. whose names he refused to Iii
vulge. Collector Black has no evidence
that the opium seized was unstamped.
or that it was shipped from this city
in the eight boxes. He still adheres
to his first opinion that the opium was
placed in the boxes after the steamer
left this port. and that he has good rea-
sens for maintaining his belief. IL is
also understood that Parks has said
that the opium was not shipped from
Portland.

LONDON. Eng, Dec. 2S.-The Rome
correspondent of the Chronicle tele-
graphs that the Spanish Government
recently questioned Great Britain
France and Italy regarding their atti-
tude in the event of war between Spain

The correspondent adds that Great
Britain refused TO give a definite reply,
saying that everything depended on the
course of events and the subsequent re-
lations of the contending nations.
Italy offered TO assist in bringing
about an amicable arrangement OF the
trouble. without promising to support
Spain. The attitude of the Vatican is
absolutely favorable TO Spain.

There is one thing, however, about
the case that seems to warrant he
opinion that the opium may have been
placed in the cans after the ship left
Portland. If IL was unstamped and that
is. that hinged cases were ordered
from the Portland Cracker Company.
which is not customary in shipping
crackers TO Honolulu, as the crackers

packed in soldered cans. It is a plaus-
ible presumption that the opium NAV
