that the farmers in Germany desire a duty

ours out. They may talk so, but what they
want is the German market for their

difference to the German farmers whether
it was the Mckinley or the Wilson tariff
we had; they have fought to keep us out
of Germany just the same.

A GREAT NORTHERN WRECK.
The Engine Jumped the Track-Three
Men Injured.

Spokane, Wash, Feb. 19.-The Great
Northern eastbound flyer was wrecked
at 5 O'clock this morning near Wilson
creek, between this city and Wenatchee.
The train was running IS miles an hour,
making up lost time, and the accident
is attributed to Spreading ~ the rails.
The engine turned completely over and
some of the passenger and baggage
cars were piled in confusion. Engineer
Sam Works right leg was broken and
he suffered other injuries. Harry
Jones, the fireman, is reported to have
been slightly scalded. Express Messen-
ger klinefelter was badly injured.
dispatch was sent to Leavenworth
and the wrecking train was sent to the
scent. A coach bearing two physicians
was also sent to attend the injured
and take them to the hospital 1t is
reported that three coaches were burn
ed after the accident
The engine was pounding away at the
rate of about 40 miles an hour west
of Wilson creek, when suddenly with
out warning, the engine jumped the
track and ran for a distance of about
300 feet along the ties, which were torn
to flinders. Then the locomotive turned
her nose to one side and would have
rushed wide of the track had it not
been for a small bluff. Striking the
bluff the engine turned over on one
side with the fireman and the engineer
pinned in the cab. The mail car and
baggage car, which came next to the
tender, were thrown sideways across
the track Following the express car
came the smoker and the force of the
shock broke it completely loose from
the rest of the train and sent it rolling
down the embankment 20 feet below.
All of the other cars were thrown from
the track with the exception of the last
Pullman, which kept to the rails
The noise Of the crash was frightful
and for a few minutes the confusion
among the passengers was so general
that it was almost impossible to learn
the extent of the casualty. Meanwhile
fire had broken out from the engine
and the mail car was in flames. Frank
Montague, the mail clerk, had been
somewhat bruised in the leg, but he
was not at all deferred from the work
of rescuing the mails Before the fire
had driven him back he and the pas
sengers had got nearly all of the mail
to place of safety.

MANY ARRESTS MADE.
An Organized Campaign to Make Loubet
Resign

Paris, Feb. 19.-Altogether 100 ar
rests have been made in connection
with to-day's disturbances. There is
every sign of a campaign against Pres
ident Loubet similar to that which
drove NJ CaSimir-Perier to resign.
Clearly. La Patrie FrancaiSe will leave
no stone unturned to achieve this OBJ
ject, its chief ground of objection being
that the president is a Dreyfusard. The
street demonstrations which have oc-
Cured have not been spontaneous, but
We're evidently organized, and so far
they have been easily suppressed. 1t
is affirmed that NJ. Dupuy's cabinet will
act energetically to maintain public or
der.
The keynote of M. Loubets policy
may be probably be found in the fol-
lowing conversation with NJ. Bourgeois
leader of the moderate radicals. who
came to offer to the new president the
support of his party. Before accepting
it, M. Loubet said:
"You are doubtless aware that one
of the first enactments of any ministry
of mine will be a stringent Jaw to stem
the current of insult. infamy and def
amation which now befouls France. l
fear that perhaps legislation of this
kind will scarcely tally with the radi-
cal IDEAS"
NJ. Bourgeois answer was a cheerful
acuuiescence. Herr FrieSChauer. the
correspondent here of the Saue Freie
Presse, has been expelled from the
country.

THE REBELS ARE ACTIVE
The California Volunteers Have
Abandoned Guadaloupe.
SUFFERING FROM THE HEAT
Pho del Pillar and Montenegro Are Com
manding the eInsurgents-The Enemy
Is Now Concentrating on the
American Right.

Manila, Feb. 49, p. m.-The Califor-
MIA volunteers abandoned Guadalupe
church at o'clock this morning, which
has since been set on fire, and returned
to San Pedro Macati. The rebels still
hold the vicinity of Guadaloupe, Pasig
and Patero, despite the efforts of gun
boats to dislodge them from the jungle
on both sides of the river. The heat
is intense and is increasing perceptibly
daily. Under present conditions it is
impossible to provide shade for the
troops in certain parts of the line. par
ticularly McArthur's division. Kings
brigade is also exposed from San Pedro
Macati, to Cuiculi, where it joins Over
shines brigade.
Mr.. Higgins, the manager of the Ma
nila-Dagapan railroad, is believed to
be safe at Bayambang, although no
communication has been received from
him since Friday. He was housed at
Mr.. Clark's place with his wife and
family and about six other Englishmen,
some of whom are accompanied by their
wives. While it is unlikely that the
natives of the locality will harm them.
it is feared that others from distant
provinces might wreak vengeance at
their expense.
In view of the fact that the enemy
were concentrating on the American
right flank, preparations were made last
night to give them a warm reception
in the event of attack General Over
shines line, consisting originally Of the
North Dakota volunteers, 4th infantry,
and two troops of the 4th cavalry.
stretching from the beach at Camp
Dewey to General Kings right, was re-
inforced by two battalions of Oregon
volunteers and the troops of the 4th
cavalry.
The Buffalo's searchlight discovering
the rebels unusually active, about 10
o'clock in the evening, signalled the
flagship for permission to fire upon
them; and, this being granted, bonn
barded the enemys trenches for 20
minutes. The only effect of the fire was
apparently Ito drive the rebels further
inland.
Beyond a few Intellectual volleys from
the trenches, which were returned with
interest, the enemy made no demonstra-
tion and all is quit along the rest of
the line. Scouts claim to have seen
General Pho del Pillar, who commanded
the rebels at Paco, with his arm in a
sling, directing the troops. General
Montenegro, the fnsurgent commander
in-chief is reported to be personally
conducting the movements in front of
General Kings line at San Pedro Ma
cati. The signal corps is arranging sig
nails with the navy for future operations
on the left. With the exception of
the port of Iloilo, trade with Philip
pine ports is still blockaded.
