As the wreck began to go to pieces
under the destructive work Of both
flames and flood, human bodies foated
out from the mass and were carried
down stream by the swift current The
storm did not abate in fury. Flashes
of lightning added to the steady glow
OF the burning train and lit up the
scene with fearful distinctness.
Flagman Quinlan. who was n of
the first to get out, at once started for
the nearest telegraph station. Making
his way as rapidly as possible in the
face of the binding storm, he stumbled
into the telegraph Office at McDonough,
and after telling the operator of the
wreck, fell fainting to the floor. Word
was quickly sent to both Atlanta and
Macon, but no assistance was to be had
except in the latter city, as the inter
rupted track prevented the arrival of
any train from Macon.
Nearly the entire male population of
McDonough went to the scene to rem
der assistance, but little could be done
by the rescuers, as the fire kept them
at a distance. At daylight the bodies
that had foated from the gorge were
gathered up. One body was found a
mile from the wreck and many were
seen along its banks.
A Wreck Train
was started out from Atlanta at mid
night, but owing to the burning wreck
age nothing could be done until morn
ing.
A special train at 6 o'clock this
morning took doctors, ministers, rail-
road officials and helpers to the scene,
but nothing could be done save to gath
er up the bodies.
AS the dead were found they were
removed to McDonough.
There are two undertakes there.
Both establishments were soon filled
with mangled remains of. the passen-
gers. Some of the bodies were terribly
burned while others were crushed be-
yond recognition. The only means of
Identification in the majority of the
cases were letters and papers in the
pockets of the victims in the catas-
trophe.
The bodies were prepared for burial
as rapidly as possible. Some may be
buried at McDonough. Others will be
sent to their homes as fast as their
proper addresses can be ascertained.
Only three women were on the train.
Two escaped. It is presumed that the
other persisted but the body has not
been found.
Besides the regular crew of the train,
several conductors and other employees
were en- route to Atlanta to spend Sun
day. All were killed. Conductor w.
a. Barclay was in charge o. he train.
A section boss with a gang of eight
negroes occupied seats in the second
class coach. They were on their way
to repair a washout on the Georgia
Midland & Gulf road. Not one escaped
when the car went down.

GREAT ANXIETY
IN WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The Navy
Department this afternoon issued the
following bulletin:
A telegram from Admiral Kempff,
dated Chefoo, June oath. says:
3In ambuscade near Tien Tsin, on
the 21st, four of WALKERS command
killed and seven wounded. Names
will be furnished as soon as receiv-
ed. Force of two thousand going
to relieve Tien Tsin to-day
(signed.) "KEMPFF."
The Secretary of the Navy has or
dered Admiral Remey to go with the
Brooklyn to Taku and to tender TO
Gen. Macarthur conveyance of any
army troops which the Brooklyn can
carry.
Admiral Kempns Nspatch giving the
first definite news of the shedding Of
American blood on Chinese soil, came
early this morning and was turned over
to Secretary Long as soon as he arrived
at the department. With Admiral
Crowninshield, the Secretary carried
the dispatch to the White House, where.

ton thereupon was reached

from Manila to Taku, on board the
armored cruiser Brooklyn. The Secre-
tary and Admiral Ctowninshield re-
turned to the Navy Department. where
the necessary orders were dispatched to
Admiral Remey. The effect of this
transfer is to make Taku the headquar-
tiers Of the Asiatic squadron. The
Brooklyn is expected to sail at once,
to-day if possible. as the orders sent
contemplate getting the Admiral on
the scene at the earliest moment. The
advantage Of this, it was officially
stated, is not so much in adding the
strength OF the Brooklyn to the feet
already there, as the feet is considered
by Secretary Long to be quite adequate,
as il is in allowing the authorities here
to deal directly with the situation in
China, instead Of through the circuitous
communications by way Of Manila II
the Brooklyn starts to-day, as expected,
it will take her fully a week to reach
Taku, as the trip is 1000 miles and
typhoons are raging. The determine
ton to carry some OF Gen. MacArthur's
troops on a flagship shows the emer-
gency OF the situation The troops are
believed
To be Ready to Move.
but some delay may be caused in get
ting on board sufficient supplies for a
large body OF men for a week.
Admiral Kempn's report that four
Americans were killed and seven
wounded In the ambuseade OF Walters
force, caused the grayest concern
among officials. but the chief fear was
as to the outcome Of the second at
tack which the admiral reported would
begin to-day.

other ships at Manila have been
ordered to Taku. There is felt to be

the ships now under orders to sail Adj

nadnock has a large complement of
men, who can be used as a landing

armament which makes her so avail

pies of the national democratic platform
adopted at Chicago in 1896, and we re-
iterate the demand of that platform for
an American financial system made by
the American people for themselves,
which shall restore and maintain BIZ
metallic price level, and as part of such
system the immediate restoration of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver and
gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1
without waiting for the aid or consent
of any other nation.
We denounce the currency bill en-
acted at the last session of congress as a
step forward in the republican policy
which aims to discredit the sovereign
right of the national government to issue
all the money, whether coin or paper
and to bestow upon national banks the
power to issue and control the volume
of paper money for their own benefit
A permanent national bank currency,
secured by government bonds, must
have permanent debt to rest upon and
if the bank currency is to increase with
population and business, the debt must
also increase. The republican currency
scheme is therefore scheme for fasten-
ing upon the taxpayers perpetual and
growing debt.
No Watered Stock.
We pledge the democratic party to an
unceasing warfare in nation, state and
city against private monopoly in every
form. Existing laws against trusts must
be enforced and more stringent ones
must be enacted providing for publicity
as to the affairs of corporations engaged
in Interstate commerce and requiring all
corporations to show, before doing bust
ness outside of the state of their origin,
that they have no water in their stock
and that they have not attempted and
are not attempting to monopolize any
branch of business or the production of
any articles of merchandise and the
whole constitutional power of congress
over Interstate commerce, the mails and
all modes of interstate communication
shall be exercised by the enactment of
comprehensive laws upon the subject of
trusts. Tariff laws should be amended
by putting the product Of trusts upon
the free list to prevent monopoly under
the plea Of protection.
| Retirement Of Rank Notes.
Debt for the benefit of the banks-we
are opposed to this private corporation

legal tender qualities and demand the
retirement of the national bank notes as

injunction we denounce the blacklist
and favor arbitration as means of set
tling disputes between corporations and
their employees
Department of Labor.
In the interest of American labor and
the upbuilding of the workingman as the
corner stone of the prosperity of our
country, we recommend that congress
create department of labor, in charge
of secretary, with seat in the cabinet,
believing that the elevation of the
laborer will bring with it increased
production and increased prosperity to
our country at home and to our COM
merce abroad.
Liberal Pensions.
We are proud of the courage and
fidelity of the American soldiers and
sailors in all our wars, we favor liberal
pensions to them and their dependents
and we reiterate the position taken in
the Chicago platform in 1896 that the
fact of enlistment and service shall be
deemed conclusive evidence against
disease and disability before enlistment.
We favor the immediate construction,
ownership and control Of the Nicara-
guam canal by the United States and we
denounce the insincerity of the plank in
the republican national platform for an
Isthmian canal in the face of the failure
of the republican majority to pass the
bill pending in congress.
Surrender to England.
We condemn the Hay .Pauncefote
treaty as surrender of American rights
and interests (not to be tolerated by the
American people.)
Statehood.
We denounce the failure of the repub-
lican party to carry out it's pledges, to
grant statehood to the territories of Ari-
zona, New Mexico and Oklahoma, and
we promise the people of those terri
tories immediate statehood and home
rule during their condition as territories,
and we favor home rule and territorial
form of government for Alaska and
Porto Rico.
We favor an intelligent system of
improving the arid lands of the west,
storing the waters for the purposes of
irrigation and the holding of such lands
for actual settlers.
We favor the continuance and strict
enforcement of the Chinese exclusion
law and it's application to the same
classes of all Asiatic races.

lican and as subversion of the ancient
and fixed principles of free people.
Private Monopoly Evil.
Private monopolies are indefensible
and intolerable. They destroy compe-
tition, control the price of all material
and of the finished product, thus rob-
bing both producer and consumer. They
lessen the employment of labor and
arbitrarily fix the terms and conditions
thereof and deprive individual energy
and small capital Of their opportunity
for betterment.
They are the most efficient means yet
devised for appropriating the fruits of
industry to the benefit of the few at the
expense of the many, and unless their
insatiate greed is checked all wealth
will be aggregated in a few hands and
the republic destroyed. The dishonest
paltering with the trust evil by the re.
publican party in state and national
platforms is conclusive proof of the
truth of the charge that trusts are the
legitimate product of republican poll
cies; that they are fostered by republi-
can laws and that they are protected by
the republican administration in return
for campaign subscriptions and political
support.
Control of Trusts.
The failure of the present administra-
tion, with an absolute control over all
the branches Of the national government
to enact any legislation designed to pre-
vent or even curtail the absorbing
power of trusts and illegal combinations
or to enforce the antitrust laws already
on the statute books prove the insin-
cerity of the high soundin g phrases Of
the republican platform. Corporations
should be protected in all their rights
and their legitimate interests should be
respected, but any attempt by corpora
tions to interfere with the public affairs
of the people or to control the SOW
ereignty which creates them, should be
forbidden under such penalties as will
make such attempts impossible.
Breeder of Trusts.
We condemn the Dingley tariff law
as a trust breeding measure, skillfully
devised to give the few favors which
they do not deserve, and to place upon
the many burdens which they should
not bear,
We favor such an enlargement of the
scope of the interstate commerce law as
will enable the commission to protect
