ANOTHER WAR A FAILURE FOLLY.

There are evidences that the Demo-
Gratis in 1900 are going to repeat their
lunacy of 1864 They are going to de-
clare that the Philippine war has been
Failure" OF course the war in the
Islands is likely to be ended before
the national conventions meet, but
the Democratic anti-eXpansionists
from declaring that the war never
ought to have taken place at all, and
that the American soldiers never had
any business to be in the Philippines
Things are shaping themselves for a
declaration of this sort in the Demo-
cratic convention next year.
The indications are that an outgiv-
ling of this kind would bring as swift
and sweeping disaster to the copper
head democracy of to day as it did to
the dough faces and traitors who ran
the Chicago convention in 1864. In
fact, the marplots of 1864 had rather
better case than the conspirators of
zs1900 will have, because the wars
darkest days occurred shortly before
the Democrats met in the Mcclellan
gathering, and many timid persons
were little dubious about the result
along through the whole of the year
1864. In the present instance, how
ever, the conflict is likely to be finish
Y ed before the conventions come to-
Kether. or if it is not quite finished
4 the end will be in sight
Next years imbecility will differ,
therefore, from the 1864 poltroonery
and lunacy by the highly important
condition that the war will be over
BY that time, and the persons who
condemn it will be attacking accom-
plished facts. We will have the PHI

NEW CHAMPION WILL 2
 FIGHT ANYBODY
Fitzsimmons' Managers Say That Their Man Was Up Against It, and That
 Was All.

The scenes in the dressing room of Jeff fries, only few feet from the room oceu-' pied by F'itzsimmons, were of the most Joy ful character. Crowds of persons hammer ed at the door for admittance, all anxious to congratulate the new champion. Brady was dancing with delight. The result made him for the second time a manager of a worlds heavyweight champion.
 'Jeffries is a corker," he said, and there is not a man on earth that can beat him; he's a wonder, no mistake. Let the man come to him now that can class with him"
 Billy Delaney, Jeffries' trainer, was be- side himself with delight He said:
 q have again brought champion beater from California, and am proud of it. Fitz was beaten fair and square, and although he put up a game fight my man had his measure taken from the moment they shaped for the fifth round"

FORTY PEOPLE
 WERE INJURED Bad Condition of Track Caused the Derailment of
 Two Cars.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 9.-Between forty and forty-five passengers were injured, three perhaps fatally, by the derailment ff train No. 4, southbound, on the Kansas City, P1ttsburg and Gulf railroad, three miles south of Granview, Mo-, at 9:90 o'clock last night. The train left Kansas City late and was running at slow rate of speed on account of the bad condition of the track occasioned by heavy rains.
 The injured were brought to this city to- day and sent to the hospitals.
 The wrecked train was due to leave Kan sas City last night at 7:30, but it was nearly o'clock before start was made. Two miles beyond Grandview, a small station thirty miles south of Kansas City, the rails spread owing to the recent severe rains, and the smoker, which contained most of the injured, and the chair car immedi- ately following were turned on their sido into a ditch; the Pullman left the track, but remained upright The engine and combination baggage and mail car remained on the track.
 The accident occurred at 9:30 during a heavy downpour of rain. The crew immed- lately began the rescue of the passengers in the pouring rain and darkness. Women and children were dragged from the win dowS of the chair car and given attention first. Before all had been taken out of the char car, lire started in the rear end. The porter cut a hole through the roof of the car, quenched the fire and rescued several women in immediate danger.
 In the well-filled smoker passengers were compelled to crawl the full length of the car to the rear door to escape. Exit through the broken windows was danger ous the darkness making it impossible to see a foot ahead. The scene of the wreck was in the woods, and there were no houses near to which the injured could be taken.
 The orchards were soon improvised, and here and there in the darkness and rain the dim light fiuttered in the hands of hold CTS scurrying in every direction to render aid to the unfortunates. For the immediate care of the wounded huts were built along side the track, and lent aid to the rescuers and warmth to the rain-soaked injured.
 The most seriously hurt were carried in the baggage and mail car and in the Pull man. As soon as possible news of the wreck was sent to Granview and a relief train was started out from Kansas City. The train arrived at o'clock a. m. and took back to Kansas City all the injured.

natured faces were wreathed in smiles, and they looked on Jeffries as a veritable world beater.
 Jeffries himself was surrounded by host of friends, who congratulated him on his we'll won victory. In answer to in- quiries the new champion said: "Fitz fought a good and fair battle and hit me harder than any man I have ever been up against. He can whip Sharkey in two rounds. l will gain nothing by meeting Sharkey again, but am willing to meet any man in the world; there need be no fear of my quitting the ring for the stage. l will defend my title as champion at all times and against all corners. At no time during tonghts fight did l feel any mis- giyinSS as to my ability to win. l am sure that l have well earned the right to be called champion by beating Fitz, who was undoubtedly the greatest fighter of the age"
 Jeffries and his party left for New York at midnight, and will make the Vanderbilt hotel their headAuarters.
 Mrs. Fitzsimmons Cheered Her Husband Just as soon as F'itz reached his dress ing room his wife, who was anxiously awaiting the outcome of the fight greeted the fallen champion affectionately. Keep up your spirits. Bob," she said. You fought splendidly, and although you were beaten you are still the prince of fighters"
 
 the defeated pugilist. but could not realize his defeat They laid the lanky pugilist on a cot and whispered words of encourag- ment in his ear. Fitz had only partially re- covered from the shock of defeat and oc- casional1y muttered, How did I come to fight him?" Mrs. FitzsimmonS and Mrs. Dan Hickey bent over the prostrate man and bathed his head and face. Clots of blood had formed in the nose and began to ' be a source of worriment to Mrs. FitH- simmons. "I have nothing to say regarding the outcome of the fight" she said. But I feel sure that Bob still has a host of friends who will not forget his past career in the ring" Mnager Julian was down in the ring" Manager Julian was down asked for his opinion of the result he replied:
 "Oh there is very little for me to say Everyone knows that Bob is game, and I feel certain that he still has a warm place in the hearts of many. No matter what comes or goes, Bob need not worry about anything as long as I am alive. He Is my friend and I am his. He shall never want for anything, and while feel his downfall

Jeffries tried a left swing for the head and another for the body, but Fitz- simmons tucked away from him. JeffrieS then knocked Fitzsimmons flat on his back with q straight left on the mouth. The champion was up in two seconds, and the bell rang and they went to their corners.
 Round Three-Fitzsimmons looked very determined when he came up for this round with Jeffries on the aggressive. They clinched twice without doing damage. Fitz- simmons tried a right hook for the body, but failed, and it was then seen that he was bleeding from the nose Another clinch followed and Fitzsimmons landed a hard left or Jeffries' face and repeated it three times. Coming to the center of the ring, Ftzsmmons landed a left swing on the jaw and a left hook on the ear Jeffries came back with left hook on the side of the head and they came to a clinch.

A hard right over the heart by Fitzsimmons was answered by Jeffres with a left on the neck, but he planted a heavy left on the chest and Fitz broke, shooting his left to the jaw. This was an even round.

Assistant Examiner Cowan today filed with the governor the result of his investi- gatton of the books and accounts of c. $. Adam, tax collector of Marengo county. MT. Adams is shown by the report to be due the state $3,500 and his county the sum of $S3S, all commissions allowed the col lector deducted.
 The examiner says he found numerous irregularities in the conduct of the office. The investigation was greatly hampered by reason of the absence of so many stub books which are essential to a rigid eX- animation of tax collectors accounts.
 In many instances as shown from the date of payment on the stubs, taxes due for one year, were not paid until the next or succeeding year. After very thorough and careful checking of the books which came into his possession, the examiner as- certained reports that MT. Adams is due the state as follows:
 To state taxes as shown from ex-
 hibftS A to F, inclusive..... ......$ 106 5S To accrued interest on this
 amount........ ........ ,..... ...... 153 6S TO special taxes as shown from
