There was another memorable incident
while McDonald's black brigade was cau-
tiously crossing the field, after the der.
wishes had broken, to dispatch the wounded
Baggaras-an imperative duty, owing to
the custom of the Baggaras to feign death
and then deal G fatal blow to unwarH
enemy. The dervishes reformed and made
a desperate rush upon an isolated camel
corps, believing they had 1t at their mercy.
The corps retired steadily without ccnfu-
sion.
McDonald's brigade. assisted by the guns
boats, came to the rescue and covered the
retirement Of the camel corps by pouring
volley after volley into the advancing der
wishes, who, although their ranks were ter.
ribly thinned, continued their desperate adj
vance.
More dervishes went down, the engage
ment became swift and general and the en-
emy was soon completely routed.

COHOES, N. Y, Sept. 5.-An appalling
disaster occurred in this city tonight.
Shortly before o'clock a trolley car OF
the Troy City Railway company was struck
by the night boat special Of the Delaware
and Hudson railway at crossing at the
west end Of the Hudson river bridge, which
connects the city with Lansingburg, and Its
load Of human freight was hurled into the

It was car No. 11s Of the Troy City rail-

the bridge laden with merry party OF
people, fresh from the enjoyments 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 slightest
warning. The car was upon the track
before the train loomed in sight, and nc
power on earth could have saved 1t. The
motorman evidently saw the train ap-
proa ching and opened his control, but in
vain. With a crash that was heard fol
blocks the engine struck into the ligh'
vehicle. The effect was horrible. The
motor car was cut in two, both sectioni

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept 5.-The conven-

fusion ticket, as was done two years ago.
The offices to be filled at the fall elections
are two congressman and two members

The fight on fusion Is likely to be bitter
for two reasons: The middle-of-the-
Populists, who have strong representation
from the country districts. are unalterably
opposed to it, and the Populist party will
probably demand the supreme judges in
the apportionment Of officers. From the
present outlook. If fusion goes through

al nominees will be apportioned to the
Democrats and the other to the Silver Re-

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 experienced to the greatest de-
gree, and every human being in that Sec
tion was killed. The scene was horrible.
Bodies had been hurled into the air and
their headless and limbless trunks were
crossing.
and amid its wreckage were the MANNED
corpses Of two women.
The passengers of the train suffered no
injury except shock.
Many passengers of the trolley were
young people and they included many
women.

service to call for them.
The corpses were placed in boxes and
then placed in the mill shed, near by. Many
of them we're unrecognizable. The crash
was fearful in Its results. Headless wo-
men, with gay summer dresses, bathed in
their own and the blood Of others; limbs
without trunks or any means of Identify
ing to whom they belonged; women's and
mems heads with crushed and distorted
features; bodies crushed and flattened.
These sights constituted spectacle most
horrible to behold.
The train on the Delaware and Hudson
road Immediately after the accident pro-
ceeded to Troy. The engineer stated that
he did not see the car until he was upon It.
He tried to prevent his train from striking
the car, but his efforts were fruitless. His
train was going at very high rate of
speed at the time. He was some minutes
late and was trying to make up lost time.
In consequence Of the caution taken by the
trolley road to ascertain II the tracks were
clear at this crossing, engineers Of trains
have always felt safe in running by at a
high rate Of speed. The engineer says that

MANILA, Sept. 6.-There have been sew
eral labor strikes here, the demand being
for excessive wages. Because the Ameri-
can authorities in the early exigencies of
the situation here agreed TO the extrav-
agant demands Of the laborers, 1t has been
difficult to return to an equitable basis.
One Of these strikes caused the suspension
of traffic on the tramways Of Manila for

The chamber soon became involved In

He declared that the censorship was in

No Sensations
Those who had expected sensa tional
scenes on the reopening Of the chambers
were disappointed. The general public
seems Indifferent. The people at large are
apparently convinced that Spain must ac-
cede to whatever the United States de-
mands.
