PRESIDENT AT MONTAUK.
Gen. Wheeler Escorts the Presidential
Party About Camp wikuff-Gen.
Shafter Feverish.

Camp Wilxoff, Montauk Point, N. Y.
Sept 5.-The president and secretary
of war arrived at Camp Wikoff at S:45
saturday. Mai. Gen. Wheeler and
his staff greeted Mr.. Mckinley, Mr..
Alger and their party on the station
platform. Outside 1000 smart troop
ers OF the Third cavalry were drawn
up and the converted yacht Eileen in
the roadstead slowly doomed forth the
presidents salute of 2l guns. Gen.
Wheeler met the president because
Gen. Shafter has a touch of
fever and does not feel able to
move from his cot Besides, Gen.
Shafter is still in detention and
it would hardly comport with
the discipline OF the camp for the com
manding general to disregard the de-
tention rules. Maj Gen. Wheeler was
surrounded by number of his staff.
The carriages, preceded by the cavalry,
wound up the hill to Gen. Wheeler's
headquarters. There the president
took long view of the wide, treeless
expanse, checkered with regmental
camps and hospitals, oases of canvas
amid stretches of grass. This is beau
tiful," Mr.. Mckinley said and then
later: II think / never saw a hand
somer camp"
After two-minutes' wait the presi-
dent drove through the detention
camp to Maj. Gen. Skaters tent.
The general was in full uniform, but
his face was flushed with fever. He
endeavored to rise from the chair in
which he sat as the president entered
the tent. Don't get up, general"
said Mr.. Mckinley, as they shook
hands. You are entitled to rest.
How are your "A little achy," re-
piied the general, but otherwise all
right" Mrs. Alger remained in Gen
Shafter's tent while the president,
Secretary Alger, Mr. Griggs and others
went to the general hospital.

HELEN GoULD'S GENEROSITY.
She Prepares Quarters for Tw enty Sick Sol
diers at Her Home on the Hudson
Hospitals Greatly Crowded.

Camp Wikoff, L. l., Sept. e.-Miss
Helen Gould has notified the hospital
authorities that she has prepared quar-
ters for 20 sick soldiers at her place at
Irvington. on the Hudson. That num-
ber Of sick men will be sent there.
The transport Roumania, which ar
rived Sunday with 600 troops from
Santiago, was the means of an addi-
tional test of the capacity of the hos
pital in the detention camp. OF the
600 men on the Roumania, about 200
were so sick that they had to be put in
the hospital. At the time of the ar
rival of the sick men from the Rou-
mania the hospital had already nearly
600 patients, and these 200 additional
ones swelled the number to about 800,
$40 more than the hospital comfort
ably can hold. Although there were
enough cots for the 800 sick soldiers,
there was not the space under canvas
to place them.

HORRIBLE RAILWAY ACCIDENT
at Cohoes' y. l., "a Trolley Car Loaded with
Pleasure Party Is Crashed into and
Many Lives Are Lost.

Cohoes, N. Y, Sept. 6-An appalling
disaster occurred here last night.
Shortly before eight a trolley car of the
Troy City Railroad company was
strncls by the night boat special of
the Delaware s. Hudson at crossing
at the west end of the Hudson river
bridge, which connects this city with
Lansingburg, and its load of human
freight was hurled into the air Eight
cen OF the 35 passengers are dead and
at least ten of the remainder will die.
The cars entering the city from Lam
singburg were crowded with passen-
gers returning from Labor day pic
mic at Rennsaeler park, pleasure re-
sort near Troy. Car No. 1872 of the
Troy City railroad was the victim of
the disaster. 1t came over the bridge
about 1855 o'clock laden with merry
party of people fresh from the enjoy
ment of the day.
The motor car was struck directly
in the center by the engine of the
train, which was going at high rate
OF speed. The accident came without
the slie ehtest warning. The car was
upon the tracks before the train
loomed in sight and no power on earth
could have saved it. The motorman
saw the train approaching as he
reached the track and opened his con-
troller, but in vain. With crash
that was heard for blocks the engine
struck into the lighter vehicle. The
effect was horrible. The motor car
parted in two, both sections being
hurled into the air in splinters. The
mass of humanity, for the car was
crowded to overfowing, was torn and
mangled. Those in the front of the
car met with the worst fate. The
force of the collision was there expert
enced to the greatest degree and every
human being in that section was
killed The scene was horrible.
Bodies had been hurled into the air
and their headless and linn bless trunks
were found, in some cases, so feet from
the crossing. The pilot of the engine
was smashed and amid it's wreckage
were the MANNED corpses of two women.
The passengers of the train suffered
no injury except a violent shock.

ANTI-FUSION POPULISTS.
IgnatIus Donnelly Chosen Chairman of the
Cincinnati Meeting Gen. Weaver aud
Senator Butler Denounced.

Cincinnati, Sept 6. The national
convention of the middle-of-the-road
ropulists was called to order yester-
day. In calling the convention to or
der Joe A. Parker, secretary of the Re-
form Press association, strongly advo-
Gated independent action by the popu
lists, whether it is done at this con-
vention or at some future time.
Ignatius Donnelly was chosen tempo
rary chairman and made a radical
speech, denouncing Gen. Weaver and
all other leaders who had co-operated
with fusion with the democrats. He
referred to Grover Cleveland as a
traitor to the democratic party and
Senator Butler as traitor to the
populist party. He was especially se-
we're in denouncing Senator Butler.
The afternoon session disclosed many
differences between the middle-of-the-
readers, who were denouncing fusion
as demoralizing. They were united on
the subject of such a permanent reor-
ganization as to prevent fusion or de-
sertion hereafter, and on an inde-
pendent ticket for 1900, but there were
wide differences as to how to prevent
'sfusion desertions," and how to name
the candidates.

Washington, Sept 6. Considerable
complaint has reached the war depart

the government has been criticised for

But one other great natural advantage
is found in the climate of the cotton
states. as compared with that of New
England, and another in the superior
fertility of the SouthTen soil. Labor
must always be largely influenced as to
wages By the cost OF subsistence. The
oug, cold winters and sterile soil of the
Easterns State render the cost of living
there much greater than it is in the cot
ton growing region. Dwellings that will
afford protection from extreme cold.
clothing adapted to such climate, and
food that has to be imported from the
West or to be raised at great cost in the
neighborbood-all these facts render a
dollar in the hands OF a New England
wagewoiker worth much less than 8
dollar in the hands of his competitor in
the south. And then comes another
large item to reduce the value of the
New England working mans dollar.
Fuel is required ia large: quantities for
eight months in the year, and it is one
OF the heavy itt ms of household ex-
psnditures.
The wages now paid in The Southern
factories are actually higher, in propor-
ton to cost OF living, than those paid 10
operatives in New England. This lie
one of the reasons why labor strikes
are almost unknown in the South.
