TRAIN CLASH DEALS DEATH.
Express Train Dashes Into a Local
Near Sharon, Mass.

In a rear-end collision at Sharon sta
ton, summer resort, twenty miles out
of Boston, on the Providence division Of
the New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad, four persons were killed out
right and thirty-eight seriously injured,
and besides there were several score bruis-
ed and shaken up. The New Bedford ex-
press, going at thirty-fve miles an hour,
overlook the Boston and New London To-
cal express while it was stopping at the
Sharon station, and the locomotive crash
ed into the rear passenger coach, smash
ing it to kindling and causing the tele-
scoping Of several other cars on the train.
Failure Of the signal system, which
should have shown the engineer OF the
second train danger signal, is supposed
to have caused the collision. Sharon is
located just around curve, and the. crash
came without moments warning. The
rear car Of the New London train was
completely wrecked, and several Of the
dead were frightfully mutilated. Several
of the wounded are so seriously injured
that their lives are despaired Of.

First Duty of Admiral Sampson on
Reaching Havana Harbor.
The President has instructed Admiral
Sampson that his first duty after proceed
ing to Havana will be to demand the sur
render of Moro Castle and the keys to
the mines in the harbor. Sampson is in
structed to explode all the mines, leaving
the harbor safe for the entrance Of Ameri-
can warships, which ere to keep peace
during the sessions Of the commission to
Havana.
The commission will probably meet on
the New York The board will not dis
cuss the Cuban debt nor the question Of
public improvements. All improvements
Of every nature, according to the Presi-
dent, go with the surrendered territory.
Siege guns and heavy armament in the
Notifications must remain as at present.
Only field artillery and Mausers may be
taken from the island, and then only at
the discretion of the commissioners.
About the only question to be settled by
the commissioners Is the removal Of the
portable Government property, and send
ing home Of the Spanish soldiers. The lat
ter undertaking is by far the greater Of
the two, and large fleet Of transports
will be required to land all the soldiers
on Spain'S shores

of pine land, owned by DR.. A. D. Daniels,
was made to Tim O'Connor Of Merrill
The logs from this tract will be cut this

chased the Anderson one-third interest in

Now that War Has Ceased Oar VClun-
teers Desire to Quit Campo
Now that the wsr with Spain Is at an
end the volunteer soldiers Tor at least
majority of them) want to go home. Life
in the various military camps, now that
the possibility of fighting Spaniards has
disappeared, has become more irksome
than ever. The only chance for diversion
that is left for the troops is to be sent to
Cuba or Porto Rico to do garrison duty.
This would soon become as monotonous
as camp life in this country, and man
who is not constitutionally lazy has no
desire for three or six months Loaf IN
some West India town where hsshude Is
one Of mans characteristics. Sickness in
camp, too, has had a tendency to create
feeling of inconsistencies among the men.
Then there are thousands who feel that
they should be at home attending to bush
ness. They enlisted in the service Of the
United States to fight the enemy, and
now that the enemy has been subdued,
they would like to go home.

TERMS OF SURRENDER.

Conditions Upon Which the Capitu1a.
ton of Manila Was Agreed On.
The terms of the capitulation of Manila
as agreed upon by commissioners repre-
senting the two forces on the field, as
cabled to the War Department by Maj.
Gen. Merritt, are in harmony with the
plan Of the peace protocol signed in Wash
ington the day before the surrender took
place. The Spaniards give up control of
Manila and its suburbs, which the Ameri
can army Is to control until the conclusion
Of treaty of peace between the two ma
tons. All public property and funds are
to be turned over to officers Of the United
States. On its part the American army is
obligated to protect the inhabitants, then
private property, their churches, their re-
ligious worship and their educational es-
Establishments. The American authorities
will proceed to exercise control in Manila,
therefore, until provision shall have been
made by treaty for the final disposition
and government Of the islands. The terms
Of capitulation facilitate the carrying out
of the provisions of the peace protocol.
AS the capitulation was for 1.-The city and
defenses of Manila and it's suburbs" 1t Is
to be presumed that the Spanish will con-
tinue to exercise such authority In other
portions Of the islands as the insurgents
will permit The term suburbs" is in
definite, and in case of need for activity
for the sake of preserving order might
warrant the United States in exercising
authority over considerable portion OF
the island of Luzon, on which Manila Is
situated.

Maintain American Policy.

The real interest Of the nation is not
to change it's policy, but to continue it
continue the policy that has made it
great. If it is recognized as keeping
the front place among the greatest ma
tons from now on it will not be due to
it's army or its navy; it will be due TO
the industrial policy under which the
nation has been developed and ITS mill
tary and naval success made possible.
1t is continuance, then, Of this policy
which will make the republic great. 1t
will be greater still if it can turn from
this military depression and resume it's
previous industrial policy. Its previous
industrial policy has given us our
wealth and prosperity; it has given the
laborers Of this country something to
fight for, something to esteem; as Carl
Schurz said in his recent article in a
German paper correcting the miscon-
ceptions of the Germans regarding
America, all Germans who have made
their home in this country will fight as
readily for their new fatherland as
they ever would for their old father
land. Nothing has made this possible,
1 say. but the industrial policy under
which the material prosperity Of the
people has undergone a progress not
witnessed in any other country.-Gun-

McKinley's Excellent Management.
The congratulations which are pour

the satisfactory termination of the war
are we'll deserved. In the management
of the war Mr.. Mckinley has shown ex-
cellent Judgment. He has solved deli
cate and difficult problems with rare
discretion and tact. He has displayed
courage without harshness and dignity
without egotism. Nobody thought Of
war with Spain or any other country as
a possibility when Mr.. Mckinley was
elected, yet he has met the most exact
ing requirements of war with ability
and success. His work in the past half
year has been a fine tribute to the edu-
cational value of democratic institu-
lions. When the history Of this period
is written the President will stand out
in the record as one of the most credit
able Of the world figures Of the time.
