REVIEW SEVERELY CRITICAL
Scorching Comments Upon the Adj
ministration of United states
War Department..

Copyright, 1899, by Associated Press)
| LONDON, Feb. 1S.-The Saturday Re-
view has another hasty comment with ref
! erence to the resolution of United States
Senator McEnery in regard to the Philip
/ pines which the paper declares lis mere
| timeserving for the senate to pass. This
! resolution is simply the outcome of a ma
neuver to secure the necessary vote to adopt
the Paris treaty of peace. The reputation
OF President McKinleys government is,
indeed, likely to disappear altogether in
view of the war Office reports of maladmin-
istration. 1t is an astounding thing that
the officers responsible for the matter are
whitewashed, while a plain-dealing soldier
like General Miles is discredited The re-
port, however, is a great object lesson to
| the people of England. 1t will show them
how the bosses work the machine and how
unscrupulous-even when his own country
is commemorative Washington politician can
become"
The recent order for American locomo-
tives, placed by the Midland Railway COM
pany, which caused a sensation here when
it was announced, was explained this we,a
by the chairman of the company, Sir George
Ernest Paget, who, addressing the share
| holders paid a significant tribute to the
expeditions methods of American engine
builders. lie SAID the company mad ordered
10 engines from English makers in De-
cember, 1897 and not one of them is yet de-
iivered and when the company gave an ad-
ditional order in December, 1898, it could
not get a promise that one engine would
be delivered in fifteen months, so it was
determined to ask tenders from the Bald
win company and from another company in
Connecticut. Orders were sent and in one
instance the engines were promised in ten
weeks from the time the drawings were re-
ceved and in another case a shipment from
America was promised in four months.
The shareholders, the chairman contin-
ued, could see from this that while the
Midland company could not get a single
engine in England in fifteen months, it
could get twenty from America in four
months. The chairman did not think the
shareholders would require any further
justification of the directors action and,
as matter of fact, they had doubled their
order to one of the American firms.
Statistics published relative to the ma
tional income and expenditure indicate that
it is almost certain that there will be de-
ficiency in the budget During the first
forty-fi weeks of the present fiscal year
the customs have fallen off G975,000 and
the income has diminished G115,000, while
the expenditure has increased by G4,750,-
coo. Therefore, there is every prospect that
the income tax will have to be increased to
nine pence.

HOUSE TRIES TO GET SITTING COMMITTEE
Move is Defeated and n Hot Debate
Ensues Over Proposition to Place
Express Companies Under
Railroad Com issiOners.

PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 1S.-(Special Tele-
gram i'm the house an attempt to secure
a sitting committee to make its first report
on Monday the 27th, was defeated and the
motion OF Wilmarth to make the general
appropriation bill special order in the COM
mittee of the whole Monday afternoon car
ried
Several ninor bills were introduced and
fight called out on the adoption of an
affidavit committee report on senate bill
to place express companies under the
control of the railroad commissioners. Will
son asked that 1t be re-committed with in
structions to amend to prevent the bill
from going into effect before January /, 1900,
and placing the matter of litigation under
its provision entirely in the hands of the
attorney general. In response to the state
ment that Governor Lee in his message
had declared against such law, he took
the position that the governor had shown
himself in the wrong in attempts to in
struct the courts of the state and the prob
abilities were that he was wrong in his
views of the need of such a law After his
speech he attempted to cut off further re-
marks through the previous question: but
was defeated in this. The report was finally
adopted 60 to "a and the bill is dead.
Packard called up the percentage appro-
1t was passed after having been amended
to place the percentage of levy at 7-l0 Of a
mill; that the amount to go to the insti-
tutions for any one year should not exceed
$780, 900 and any surplus revert to the state
general fund.
House bills were passed providing for
boards of review of assessment in cities
and towns and fixing the terms OF court in
the Second judicial circuit.
A communication from Governor Lee was
read showing that the total available cash
in the treasury at the present time is only
SS5, 900 and asking that no more emergency
appropriation bills be passed than were alb
solutely necessary. He called attention to
the fact that there are numberless ways In
which the Legislature might increase the
revenue OF the state and prevent the Issue
OF emergency warrants, but made no recon-
mendation.
The house passed senate bills providing
the method OF amending articles of incor-
poration, approprating money to pay eX-
penses OF mastering in troops last spring;
amending laws in regard to the restoration
OF insane persons.
The senate passed house bills to abolish
professional Jurors; to restore the circle at
the head of the ticket, which passed "a

populists against the bill; TO allow a voter

Hale will probably secure third or fourth

THIRTY KILLED IN A COLLISION
Fog Causes Terrible Railroad Dis
aster in Belgium.

aster in Belgium.
BRUSSELS, Feb. 1S.-An express train
from Calais, having passengers from Lon
don on board, collided today with a
stationary train at Foret, near this city.
Thirty persons were killed outright and fifty
were more or less injured. The train left
Journal at 5:22 this morning and reached
Foret at S:14. Immediately afterwards the
Mons express dashed at full speed into the
station and ran into the Tournai train,
which was standing at the platform. 1t is
said that, owing to the fog, the engineer of
the express train did not see the signals.
The collision was appalling. The express
locomotive mounted on top of the last
carriages of tbs Journal train, which were
filled with passengers. These cars were
smashed to pieces.
Later reports show that only twenty one
persons were killed. but that 100 were in
jured. There were no Americans or English
| among the victims.
The scene of the wreck presents a terrible
| picture When the locomotive of the eX-
| press train leaped onto the roofs of The
| three rearmost carriage of the train from
| Tournay it crashed through them and ground
| the carriages and their occupants into an
| almost ineXtrcable mass of splintered wood,
| broken and twisted ironwork and mangled
| humanity. Six of the bodies of the vic
| tins We're found intertwined in the wheels
| of the express locomotive. The terrible dis
| fgurement of the dead passengers was ap-
| palling.
