Orange, N. J., Sept. 23 (SpeciaD.-A serious ac-
cident occurred late last night, when the fire
truck into and capszed by trolley car
on the Orange and Passaic Valley line, and two
men were badly hurt. An alarm of fire was
sent in. and the truck started through Essex
ave. At Henry-st. is the crossing Of the trolley
track. The tillerman, George Eager, was clang-
ing his gong, and he came into view of the
street he saw car No. 100 Of the road coming

AGUZNALDO HEARD FROM
REJECTS THE PEACE PROPOSALS OF
BUENCANINO.

Manila, Sept. 23-The insurgent demonstra-
tions last week prove 10 have been more ex-
tended than was at first reported. From Caga-
yam and Isabella provinces and the northwest
districts of Luzon come accounts Of in
surgent operations and American precautionary
measures. Merchants in the Province of AIbay
are getting their hemp to Manila as rapidly as
possible, fearing that otherwise it will be burned
by the insurgents
Sehor Buencamino has received from Agui-
naldo an answer regarding his peace proposals.
Aguinaldo declines to consider them. and de-
clares that he is unwilling to agree to 81 COM
promise.
Archbishop Nozaleda, with Bishop Hevia and
ten friars, will leave Manila for Spain on Tues
day. He goes to render his decennia1 religious
report. He says he expects to return here. In
his absence the affairs of the archdiocese will
be administered by AIonsignor Chapel1e.
The amnesty period expired on September 21,
and the conditions that existed previously have
been resumed.
An insurgent proclamation, signed last month
by Aguinaldo. directing that American prisoners
be set at liberty, that good treatment be
corded to captives and that $40 be paid to each
American surrendering, has reached Manila.
Few prisoners were relea sed under the procIa-
nation. Two, who have just arrived from the
Cables district. report tlat the insurgents ii
that locality are in better spirits than they
had displayed at any time before since April.
The insurgents recently murdered ruthessly
three persons in the Lullban district
Samar is short of rice, but as the hemp supply
is abundant. the people are shipping hemp to
Bulan Island and smuggling rice in exchange.
At Iloilo there was considerable anxiety lest
uprising should occur; but the insurgents
there are ceasing their activity and returning in
white clothing to the garrisoned towns of the
district. As a. resumption of insurgent opera
tions is considered quite probable, the Ame-i-
cans there are taking the necessary steps.
The American casualties in killed, wounded or
missing during the last ten days approach one
hundred, including those at Siniloan at the
east end of Laguna de Bay, where the insur-
gents after the engagement delivered ten
bodies of our dead.
Documents captured IN Manila show that the
insurgent activity in this vicinity was ordered
by rebels here, following instructions from the
Hong Kong Junta.

wilkesbarre, Penn. Sept. 23.-The interest OF
this entire region IS now centred on the forth
coming effort Of the operators to start work at

plans for this action were discussed at the con-

day. The operators believe that the calling out
of the troops foreshadows the gradual ending

JUDGE DAYS NAME SUGGESTED.
QUESTION OF THE CHINESE PEACE COM
MISSION REVIVED.

Washington, Sept 23.-With the three diplo-
matte notes on the Chinese situation disposed Of
by answers to the Powers, the attitude Of the
United States now is a waiting one There was
q general relaxation Of anxiety apparent to-day,
and there were no developments in the way Of
important dispatches.
Now that the notes are acted upon. the ques-
ton of the commission to negotiate peace is
again revived. Among the names suggested to-
night as commissioners was that Of Judge Will
lam R. Day. Of Canton formerly Secretary Of
State and a member Of the Spanish-American
Peace Commission. Judge Day in all probabil-
ity would be persona grata TO China. His i'll

LORD S4LISBURY,S MANIFESTO.
VIDE A STRONG GOVERNMENT
MAJORITY

MAJORITY,
London, Sept. 23.-Lord salisburys manifesto
to the electors of the United Kingdom, in antici-
patton Of the Parliamentary general elections.
emphasizes the necessity that the Queens Gov
ernment should be supported by a strong Par
liamentary majority "the only means of con-
vincing the inhabitants of the conquered South
African territories that there is no hope Of di-
verting the Government from their policy by
persistent resistance or agitation"
After remarking that "all the recent troubles
in South Africa have been due TO shift Of Par
liamentary opinion at critical moment" the
Prime Minister goes on to say:
1t will depend upon the disposition and con-
duct of the Beers how long interval is to
elapse before their full position as British
colony is attained
The brilliant success of Lord Roberts's army
must not blind US to the imperfections disclosed
in our own defensive armor, imperfections
which, but for the war, might have remained
unnOticed. 1t will be the urgent duty of Par
lament and the Government to remove these
defects. a duty which certainly could not be dis
charged by Ministry depending upon a broken
party.
In conclusion Lord Salisbury refers to China
"a difficulty. among others. confronting the
Government and requiring that the Govern
ment should be armed with a strong majority
in the House of Commons" He urges that, in
view Of all these considerations, there should
be no abstentons at the polls.

Burghs in his manifesto declares that his
opinion has not changed that everything might
have been attained in South Africa without war.

Grafton in uniting the Dutch and English in
South Africa has been undone and not even in
Ireland has the difficult race problem been more

Mr. Morley admits. however, that it is impos-
sble to revoke the proclamations Of annexation.
The Earl OF Rosebery, issuing manifesto in
the form Of a letter to a Liberal candidate says:
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Michael
Hicks Beach, and the President OF the Board Of
Trade, Charles Thomson Richie, as well as other
prominent men, have issued manifestoes, but
