WISCONSIN COLLISION DEALS
DEATH TO EXCURSIONISTS

/ Jean Carr, Fond Du Lac, both legs
broken.
Late tonight nineteen other injured,
making a total of fifty-three hurt,
were found at different houses in the
neighborhOod. where they had been
taken by friends. Of these the injuries
generally consisted Of bruises and dis
locations.
Happened Near Station.
The accident happened just as the
passenger train was pulling into the
station. A doubIe-header freight was
backing into a side track to let the
passenger by, but had not cleared the
main track.
Those injured were nearly all in the
second coach. When the two trains
came together the first car, which was
combination smoker and baggage
car, was driven through the second
coach, where the loss of life occurred.
The dead were taken out of the wreck
age and to an undertaking establish
ment at Depere.
The injured were first taken to the
DepeTe high school, which was con-
verted into a temporary hospital, and
later were brought to St Vincent's
hospital in this city.
None of the trainmen were injured,

badly damaged and two coaches were
broken into kindling wood.
Many of Injured May Die.
OF the injured, thirty are in a serious
condition and several may not recover.
The excursion train was made up at
Fond Du Lac and was packed with
people from that city, Oshkosh and
Neenah
The first two coaches of the passenger
train were telescOped and demolished
few of the passengers escaping injury.
Some were killed outright, others were
terribly mangled. Others We're badly
crushed and mained-all hemmed amid
the debris of the wrecked car.
The scene was APPALLING, and the cries
of the injured heart-rending.
Passengers poured out of the rear
coaches, and it was but a moment be-
fore hundreds of willing workers were
busy eXtricating the unfOrtunates.
Some of the injured were barely alive
when they were taken out, and they
died before they could be removed.
Those unhurt began a wild scramble
for their missing friends and for a few
moments everything was confusion.
Women and children were crying and
the injured, pinned in the wreckage,
were begging to be helped
The bodies of Charles Miersea, of
Oshkosh, and Edward Koske, of Fond
Du Lac, were horribly crushed and
could scarcely be recognized.

FEARS Il HUNG CHANG
Chinese DOwager Empress Sus-
piciOuS of the Statesman.
HE COULD STOP UPRISING
BUT CONTROL OF AFFAIRS Is
WITHHELD FROM HIM.

The Rev Alb, A. Fulton, who for
the past twenty IS has been sta
toned in Canton, China, as a mission
airy, delivered an address on China at
the First Presbyterian church yester-
day morning. Mr.. Fulton has been
actively engaged in missionary work
in the province of Canton and gave
some interesting facts about the state
of affairs there.
He says that the present existing
conditions which are attracting univer-
sal attention, have grown out of the
laWless and malicious spirit of an ig-
nOrant and superstitious class of Chi
nese known as the Boxers, who have
combined and gathered power until the
present outbreak is the result They
are poorly armed and organized the
speaker said, and he thought it should
be an easy matter for the troops to
queH the uprising.
In regard to the empress being in
favor Of the uprising, he said that she
might secretly favor it, but that she
dared not give it support, for fear Of
| losing her head and kingdom
The present proportions which the
| troubles have assumed, are due. Mr.
Fulton thinks to the diatOry tactics
of the authorities in attempting to stop
it. Ii Hung Chang, he thinks, is the
only man who can handle affairs as
they are at present, but he says that
the empress is suspicious of him and
/ is afraid to trust him with the, control.
In speaking of the missionary work,
Mr.. Fulton said that in the country
south Of the Yangste Kiang mountains,
1t was progressing very satisfactorily
and had not been affected bV the trOlI-
bles which had almost killed the move
ment in the northern country.
China, he said, was a country of many
fertile resources. which, owing to the
superstition of the people, were prac-
tically undevelOped, but he thought
the day was near at hand when this
superstition would be overcome and
the country developed. as it is capable
Of being.

In sections remote from European in
fiuence. village hOodlums began in the
first place to prosecute the native RO-
man Catholics.
The Catholics appointed priests who
were learned in law to look after the
converts interests whenever they got
into trouble with the courts. The re-
suit was that the Roman Catholic con-
verts got the better of their antagOn-
lists in litigation so often that great
jealousy was caused, Professor Head
land said. The movement extended so
that there were often pitched battles
between the Boxers and the Catholics,
and as the latter had modern weapons,
sometimes. as many as eight or ten
Boxers were killed.
The movement, however, spread so as
to include all Christians, and finally all
foreigners. min

any valuable concession that might be
