TWO WRECKS
On the Rock Island Road In Iowa

On the Rock Island Road In Iowa.
WILTON, Iowa, Nov. 1S.-Two SER
ious wrecks occurred near here on the
Rock Island railroad this morning.
Two freight trains collided four miles
west of here, killing one man and in
juring another. A wrecking train was
hastily started for the scene Of the col
lision and it in turn was run into by
the fast mail from the east.
The. fireman of the fast mail jump
ed and was injured, but the engineer
who remained in his cab was unhurt.
The fast mail was not seriously dam
aged but the caboose attached to the
wrecking train was smashed. Seven
teen men we're in the caboose and q
number of them were injured, some it
is feared fatally.
Doctors were rushed out from Daven-
port and Iowa City. The dead and in
jured were removed as soon as possible
to Wilton, where the local hotel was
turned into q hospital.
Both accidents were due to the
heavy fog which made it impossible to
see the signal lights. The track will
be cleared before night.

While the fight was going on several
other prisoners were seen to have guns

LONDON, Nov. 1S.-In financial cir

ia expressed that anyone in America
should regard seriously the scheme OF
the so called fCommercial company of
the United states and the Philippines
for the purchase Of the Philippine Is
lands. London capitalists and finan-
ciers acquainted with John w. Young,
son OF Brigham Young, who is report
ed to be the chief promoter Of the en-
terprise, ridicule the idea OF the $780,
900, 600 purchase.
Young's promoting career in London

that his affairs were aired in the bank

failure Of one or two of his big schemes
was the staple of conversation in fin

The Milestone local train engineer

and the smoke OF the westbound train
which had just passed the gang In an
opposite direction.
As the locomotive. struck the men q
fearful cry went up. 1t startled the
engineer and the passengers of the

PARIS, Nov. 18.-It is believed here

Spain will not break off the negotia-

That Spain Will Soon Submit.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Wh lie ad

received no official advices from Paris
since the Spanish answer was sub

faction amounting to conf
dence over outcome. They will not ad-
NIT that any official advices have been
received, but apparently some intima-
tion has been conveyed to the admins
tration that the Spaniards realize sthey
cannot resist the demands of the

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Secretsry
Hay said after the cabinet meeting
this morning that the report of We'd
nesday's meeting of the peace commits
sion at Paris was on the wire but it
would probably be late this afternoon
before the message would be translated.
The Philippine question was discus.
sed by the cabinet. 1t is expected here
that when the joint commission as
sembles tomorrow the Americans will
submit their reply which will be the
complete rejection of .Spain's PROPOSE
tion and fiat footed repetition of the
original demands regarding Spanish
sovereignty in the Philippines.
Tomorrow's meeting will be the last
at which the question of Spanish SOW
ereignty in the Archipelago will be the
topic OF discussion. If at any succeed
ing session an attempt is made by
Spain's representatives to continue
their policy OF ''manans, the negotia-
tions will end abruptly.

that the last straw which sustained
governmental opposition to Spain's
ceding the Philippines to the United

The Irish Nature.

A curious popularity of the
Irish nature is the wide limits to
which relationship is extended. "Do
you know Pat Meehan?" peasant
was asked. "Why, he's near re-
lation of mine. He vance proposed
for my sisther Kate" When faction
fighting was rife in Ireland it was
a mans interest to "increase his
followin' I" by extending the num-
Der Of his relations by every pos
slble device. Happily, faction fight
ing is dead in Ireland, and a man
has no need now to have behind
him a long line, not of ancestors"
as Sir Boyle Roche would say, but
of relations" as was imperatively
necessary when the "bhoys' were
accustomed to 'hould dishcussions
with sticks" at every fair. 1t is af-
ter he is dead that his relations
"come in handy" to the Irishman.
They give him ''grand bur, !"
"Well, Mary" said Il friend Of min,
to a domestic who had been at
tending "buryin'," had Pat Ma
loney a good funeral?" "Oh, he
had a CRATE wan, SIR" said Mary.

related to the whole barony? Faith,

THOSE CIsTERNs.-If Tue OUT
LOOK is unreasonable in advcrting
occasionally TO the building Of
those cisterns over town for storing
water for tire-fghting purposes il
will cease the agitation. But if the
town is able to build them surely
it is no fault to keep the subject
before the people, for every time a
big fire occurs the lack of water to
stay its ravages is manifest to all,
and all the citizens are convinced
that there should be no delay in
providing against such a lack in
the future. However, as the mem
ory of the losses incurred and the
dangers narrowly averted becomes
dimmed by time the people become
Indifferent on the subject.
1t looks like that with the $3.50
per year license charged the five
saloons, raising 81 $50, and the full
legal limit of taxes on property
there should be revenue enough to
carry on the work until series of
cisterns at the proper distances
apart have been built all over town.
Again, there are the prisoners sen-
fenced to labor who could be util-
lied in the work. Brick can be
bought now at Salt Lick at little
more than half what they cost for
merly to buy and ship them here
from Maysville, Ashland and other
points.
Don't wait until another big fire
burns In the lesson of being pre-
pared for fire-fighting as well as
the town can afford to be.

1t often seems in Ireland as if
words are not quick enough, or
that they form too cumbersome a
vehicle for the rapid and rushing
thoughts of these active minded
peasantry. A laughable instance
of this occurred during a recent
visitation of DIR. Walsh, the Roman
Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, to
a remote parish in his archdiocese,
the story of which | was told by n
priest. An old woman hobbled up
TO His Grace, as he was passing
through the village, and exclaimed:
"Wisha, now that I've seen your
lordship, We may die, and the Lord
be praised !" 1t was, needless to
say, her own death the old lady de-
sired, after the great privilege of
having seen live Archbishop. The
slme clergyman told me that he
had a parishiOner who is much
addicted to drink. Meeting the
man one day when, as the people
say, ''he had drop in" the priest
insisted that he should take the
pledge, for it was the only protec-
tion against the temptations of the
public house. you've never seen

priest. "Ah, your reverence" replied
