VOLUNTEERS MEET DISASTE
PASSENGER CRASHED INTO A
TROOP TRAIN.
One Private From Missouri Killed
and Several Injured - Flagman
Said to Be Responsible.

Chickamauga National Park. Ca.
May 21.-A passenger train on the
Chattanooga, Rome & Southern rail-
road, which left Chattanooga at $50
o'clock this morning, ran into the third
section of the military train carrying
the First Missouri volunteers, who ar
rived in Chattanooga last night, near
ROssville, Ga, killing Private George
Nj. Walker, company d, and painfully
injuring A. Maynard Lane, company
NJ; Howard Brolaski, company D, and
slightly injuring several other occu-
pants of both trains.
1t appears that tine passenger train
had orders to run through to Rossville
and the third section of the military
train, with a portion of the First Mis-
souri,, which was expected to run
through to Rossville, was delayed at a
switch about a mile from RosSville on
account of the congested condition of
the track, just beyond the wooded
curve. The conductor of the military
train sent back a flagman TO warn the
passenger train, but the fiagman did
not go far enough and the passenger
train came round the curve al the rate
of about 20 miles on hour. The engi-
neer did not see the danger signal IN
til within a short distance of the mill
tary train. He reversed his engine and
put on brakes, but did not have time
to stop his train, which crashed into
the rear of the military train
The rear car was a palace horse car.
in which Walker was riding, and was
completely demolished. Three of the
horses were also killed.
Next was a baggage car in which
Brolaski and Lane were stationed. This
car was badly torn up, but none of the
occupants were seriously hurt The
wreck was cleared by 1 O'Clock and
trains were resumed.
DIR. G. A Baxter, surgeon of the
Southern railway, was put in charge of
the wounded, and had them taken 20
St Vincent's infirmary of the Catholic
Sisters of Charity where all were placed
in pleasant surroundings.
Engineers Wheeler and Fireman
Handy of the passenger train were ar
rested by Lieutenant Colonel COvends
and taken under guard to the park.
They were afterwards turned over to
the civil authorities. A trial Will be
held tomorrow and a judicial investiga-
tton ordered.
General Boynton, John Jacob Astor
and a number of other officers were on
the passenger train, but none of them
were hurt.
Several passengers were bruised by
being thrown against the stumps, etc.
but none were seriously injured. The
First Missouri, after the accident,
reached the park without further incl
dent, and was assigned to camp and
placed in the Third corps.

dampened today by the first death to
occur in the camp, that of Private
Bloodsoe of Rock Island, Ills. He died
OF typhoid fever. Owing to the inede-
quate supply of water some fear that
typhoid fever may gain foothold. Two
cases, one fatal, already have made
their appearance. Private Bloodsoe had
been suffering since enlistment. For
three weeks the regiment was quar-
tered in an old building with damp, ce-
ment floors, etc, and to this rather
than to the camp his case is attributed.
Senator Cullom of Illinois went out
TO camp when he heard of the young
soldiers death. Captain I. y. Golfer of
the Eighth Ohio officiated at the sim
pie services which were held, the Hi
nois regiment being without a chap
lain. The burial was at the camp.

A "RENEGADE" IN TROUBLE.
Senator Burke, of Cleveland, Accused
of Making False Charges.

CLEVELAND, Oct 29-The bitter quar-
rel which has arisen among the judges of
the Common Pleas Court and some of the
attorneys who have become interested in
the appointment by the judges of a COM
mission to build new courthouse has taken
a tangible FORM An effort was made at
the meeting of the Bar Association yester-
day to take into consideration the alleged
accusation of State Senator Vernon Burke,
made to Judge Ong. that Judge Dellen-
baugh while serving as judge occasionally
sent cases to Burke, the latter dividing the
fees with him. The bar refused to take ac-
tion Dellenbaugh furiously denied the ac-
cusation, and declared from the bench that
he would ascertain which was the malicious
liar-Judge Iamson, the medium through
which the accusation reached the public, or
Burke Senator Burke now claims that he
merely said to Judge Ong that Dellenbaugh,
before he was elected judge, occasionally
sent him cases on which they divided fees,
and declares that he never averred that
such transactions occurred after Dellen-
baugh went on the bench. Judge Ong says
Burke made the first-named accusation.
Burke is the Republican senator who stood
with the Democrats to prevent Hon. M. A.
Hanna's election to the United States Sen
ate by the Ohio Legislature last winter.
Dellenbaugh was Burke's benefactor and
lifelong friend, but worked for Senator
Hanna.
Mayor McKisson, who was the candidate
for United States senator put up against
Hanna by the Democrats and Kurtz Re
publicans, has taken an interest in the
courthouse commission, and wanted his
friend Judge Ong made a member of it.
Burke asked Dellenbaugh to vote for Ong,
and Dellenbaugh thereupon declared their
friendship to be at an end To-day several
attorneys, friends of Judge Dellenbaugh,
filed charges against Senator Burke with
the investigating committee of the Bar AS
sociation. They accuse Burke of making
the accusation against Dellenbaugh referred
to, and declare it false and malicionsly de-
signed to injure Judge Dellenbaugh. The
formal charge against Burke is unprofes-
sional conduct involving moral turpitude.

MUST TAKE ALL THE GROUP.
The Conclusion President Mckinley Is
Said to Have Reached.

NEW YORK, Oct. ga special to the
Herald from Washington says: President
Mckinley is convinced that there is no way
in which the United States can escape the
responsibility of taking all the Philippines
He has arrived at this conclusion after ma
ture deliberation. He at first favored keep
ing nothing more than military and naval
base, and thought that the United States
should in no event retain more than the
Island of Luzon. When tho American peace
commissioners left for Paris it was not con-
templated that they should demand from
the Spanish government more than the abb
solute cession of this one island to the
United States and a reversionary interest
in the other islands of the group. 1t has
been found however; that there were many
practica, difficulties in the way of such
solution, not the least of them being the
evident impossibility of Spain's re-establish-
ing authority over the remaining islands
without a prolonged and bloody struggle
with the insurgent forces.
''Information coupled with the opinion of
military and naval commanders familiar
with the Philippine situation. have led the
President to believe that Admiral Deweys
destruction of the Spanish fleet in Manila
bay and General Merritt's capture of Ma
niIa annihilated Spanish sovereignty in the
islands and it became a duty of the United
States to establish a better government
than the one which was destroyed by Amer
lean arms. The President has been deluged
with letters from all parts of the United
States and with resolutions from CONNER
cial and religious bodies urging that Amer
lean soyereignty should be maintained

leans alike that should 10 treaty result here
hostilities will be continued and both sides
clearly understand that in such event the
American fleet would Immediately possess
the Philippines beyond question and with
out money consideration to Spain. The Ca
naries would then be an object of interest
TO the United States, and possibly other
Spanish possessions
Close observers here express the belief
that if, in the event of renewed hostiIities.
the United States approached the peninsula
no European power, in the present interna-
tional condition, would involve itself on
behalf Of Spain. Should the American and
Spanish commissions approach deadlock
on the subject of the Philippines Spain, be-
fore retiring, would doubtless propose arbi-
tration. But and again. careful observers
here express the view that the submission
of the case to any European power. in the
present delicate conditions, would be tanta-
mount to a submission of dispute to arbi-
traitors already involved in differences af-
fecting possibly the case proposed to be
submitted.
On Monday next the United States COM
missioners will, American fashion, lay their
case on the Philippines openly and compre-
hensively before their Spanish colleagues
and it is probable that the Spaniards will
then first raise the point whether the pro-
tocol proposed to question Spanish sover-
eighty in the Philippines. Significantly
touching this point is a. recent utterance by
the Madrid impartial that the Spanish
commission should not remain in Paris if
the intentions of the protocol concerning
the Philippines were not carried out with
the utmost rigor.
On the eve of the Philippines negotia-
tions there is unofficial anticipation that
no treaty will be signed which involves the
loss of the Philippines to Spain without
large financial consideration, and it would
not cause surprise should the Spaniards,
at some stage of the considerations, with
draw as a body, or if some members should
resign, effecting the same result.
The American commissioners to-day re-
ceived from Washington full advices in
response to the submission of their indi-
vidual views regarding the Philippine ques-
tion and two sessions were held to consider
these replies.
