BRITISH NAVAL TRAIN WRECKED.
DeraiIed Near Rat Portage. Man.-Two Killed
and Several Injured.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 31.-A Winnipeg,
Man., special to the Dispatch says:
THE special naval train was derailed
east of Rat Portage. at $50 o'clock,
this afternoon, by broken rail. The
tender, two baggage cars and three
colonist cars went over the embank-
ment. 10 feet high. Frank Fleckney
and William Miller. boys from the
training ship Agincourt, of Chatham,
England, were killed. Samuel HarrI-
son, stoker, of Edinburgh, and Thomas
Burns, seaman, We're injured: also a
man named Smith from Papineauville,
Quebec, who was stealing a ride
Halifax, N. s., Oct. 1.-The naval train
wrecked near Ratportage on the c. p. r..
left Halifax, Thursday night. on the ar
rival of the steamer Carthagenian from
Liverpool with drafts for the British Pa
cific squadron. The train consisted of six
colonist cars, a baggage, tender and loco
motive, and carried 1873 sailors and III Off
GERS. Two sailors had suffered so severe
ly from seasickness that they remained
over at Halifax in the military hospital.
The train was made up under imperial
government officers inspection and was
the Anglo-French controversy. 1t was a
special and had clear track and was
due to arrive at Esquimault one week
from the date of departure.
Admiral Sir John Fisher was inter-
viewed, tonight, by The Associated Press
correspondent and said he had wired for
full particulars of the accident.

IS IT EVE OF WAR 2
England Is Preparing Even
While Denying the Feet.
Press Muzzled, But Every War and
Naval Factory Works Overtime.
France Encouraged With Report that Russia
Has Promised Assistance.

London, Nov. Most Of the papers
are full of alleged war preparations.
despite the undoubted fact that the au-
thorities are ooing their best to dis
courage publication and are even deny
ing statements that have already ap-
peared.
Yesterday, (Monday) a sudden order
was received at Dover, for an expert
mental mobilization Of the defence Of
the forts All the forts were smartly
occupied in a manner giving full sat-
isfaction.
The arsenal at Woolwich is working
until II o'clock every night. the gov
eminent having given large orders for
guns, searchlights and other naval
equipments.
The British channel squadron has
cast anchor off Gibraltar.
The advices from Paris in the special
dispatches, this morning, add little to
what was already known regarding
the situation at Fashoda. 1t is believ-
ed that Capt. Baratier is taking only
verbal instructions for Major Mar
chand.
The idea prevails at the French cap
ital that Count Muravieff, the Russian
foreign minister, while there on his re-
cent visit, promised Russian support in
reopening the whole Egyptian question
and that Major Marchand will be in
structed to fall back and maintain his
occupation of all Bahr- El-Gazel posts.

UNUSUAL ACTIVITY
Being Displayed at The Navy Yards At Esqai.
mault and Halifax.

Victoria, B. c., Oct. 31.-The depart
ure of Her Majcsty's ship Amphion,
Sunday for the Society islands, the
French colony in the south seas, did
not end the activity at the Esquimault
naval station. AS soon as she left the
wharf at the dock yard, the dock yard
crew were detailed to get the dry dock
in readiness for the reception of Her
Majesty's ship Leander. She, too, is to
go on long voyage, or at least be In
readiness for any duty she may be
called upon to perform.
The most significant feature outside
ofthe departure of the Amphion, how
ever, is the activity on Her Majesty's
ship Imperieuse, Admiral Palliser's
flagship Sunday, large number of
men were given shore leave, very un-
usual thing Sundays, and, this morn
ing, she commenced coaling. It Is un-
derstood that she will go out under or
ders, Thursday.
Halifax, N. S.. Oct. 31.-Every avail
able shipwright in this city has been
engaged by the naval authorities here
and orders have been given to prepare
the battleships and other vessels for
sea as soon as possible. Saturday. the
men worked all day. something UNI
precedented in the dock yards here.
The great activity displayed is the re-
suit of the messages from the home
authorities.

EXTRAORDINARY MOVEMENTS.
England Has Nearly All Preparations Made
for War With France.

London, Oct 31.-There was an unex.
pectedly gloomy feeling. this morning.
on the Stock Exchange and Paris
Bourse, both of these markets being in
fiuenced, it is inferred, from the ag-
gressive tone of the French papers
Besides this. something extraordinary
seems to have happened and 1t looks
as if crisis We're approaching.
The British naval preparations are
certainly being pushed with great ac-
tivity. The British emergency SQUAD
ron is gathering at Devonport with all
possible speed. Seven battleships and
cruisers have thus far been designated
to go into this squadron. Officers and
sailors have been hurriedly recalled
from leave of absence. Several battle
ships and cruisers at Portsmouth are
making their full crews on board. and
other warlike preparations are being
made.
A number of signal men now on duty
twin the British channel squadron,
which arrived at Gibraltar, this morn
ing, have been ordered home for SER
vice, it is presumed, on board the aux
iliary cruisers if the latter should be-
required for active service.
A sensation abs been caused by the
arrest, this morning, of supposed
Russian spy, at fort near Harwich.
The man was already under surveil-
lance, and went to redoubt where he
tried to obtain some information from
a sentry regarding the Notifications.
He was promptly arrested and inquir-
les are being made regarding his ante
cedents.
1t was also asserted, today, that the
volunteer regiments had received or
ders to prepare for immediate mobiliza-
ton, and it was asserted that the diff
ferent artillery corps have been inform
ed as to the forts on the southern and
eastern coasts to which they have been
allotted.
The Pal-Mall Gazette, this afternoon,
says: England has been and even
now is so near war that the govern
ment has carried it's preparations TO
the furthest limit of the preparatory
stage. 1t has been arranged to call
out the reserves and militia to mobil-
ize the volunteers simultaneously and
to form large camps as various import
ant railroad functions, where rolling
stock and locomotives will be concen-
trated."

Tribute 10 COL. WAXING.
NV York Citizens Party Leaves His Name
Upon the State Ticket.

New York. Oct. 31.-At a meeting Of
the Citizens state party, today, a
statement was adopted which pays a
high tribute to the late Col. Waring,
who was the party's candidate for
state engineer and surveyor. The
statement says:
Thousands owe to him betterment
of the conditions Of agriculture: many
more thousands owe to him unhoped
for progress in the sanitary conditions
of their homes; millions owe to him the
most admirable lesson in selfgovern-
ment which recent times have furn-
ished, in the ease with which his firm
ness and determined will liberated
from thraldom of unclean politics and
vast and important functions of a
great municipal office; quite as many
owe him a lasting debt of gratitude
for the candidacy in which death sur
prised him and which was another eff
fort toward the right.
ITO such a man it was fitting that
death should come in the discharge of
a self-imposed and perilous duty. More
heroic than his repeated exposures up
on fields of battle was that quiet and
unostentious tryst with the tropical
plague. He kept it, and himself sink
ing under the dreadful scourge perfect
ed the plans which will save coming
generations from the blight.
How can we hope in the short time
left us by the law to fill the place left
vacant by this modern knight? We
prefer to leave upon the ballot his hon.
ored and respected name, hoping that
as each citizen of this imperial state
performs his duty at the polls that
name may serve him as a lesson to do
that duty without selfishness and
without fear"

dressed an audience of nearly 5000 peo-
