Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang

from the court to notify the ministers
OF the powers that an edict has been
issued regarding the punishment of
Chinese officials, conhrmatory OF the de-
mands made by the ministers, as fol-

General Tung Fuh Sian. to be le-
graded and deprived OF his rank; Prince
Tuar and Duke Ian, to be disgraced
and exled; Prince Chuang, Wing Men

Hsu Chan Yu, Yu Nsien and III Hahn
to be behcaded,"
This is not exactly what the ministers
demanded, but it is considered advisa-
BILE to agree to it, as the demand for
lives has been agreed to except in the
case OF General Tung Fuh Sian, whom
the court is powerless to molest, There
is a private understanding that his lie
will be claimed when il is possible.

BAD Railroad Collision In New jerscy-firc

One OF the worst collisions in the
history of the Amboy division of the
Pennsylvania railroad occurred Thurs
day evening at Ruslings siding, near
Bordcntown. and about eight miles
south OF Trenton, n. ]. The Nellie
BY" express from New York for Allan
tic City collidcd with passenger train
No. $50, running from Camden to Tren-
ton The number OF dead so far as
known is ten and the number OF injuf-
cd upward OF IS.
Most OF the injured are Italians who
were riding in the smoking car of the
express train. They we're being taken
TO Atlantic City TO do construction work
for the railroad company.
The scene at the wreck is described
by those who were present as horriiy-
ing. The two trains collided at full
speed and both engines were complete
ly demolished. The forward car Of
each train, in both instances a combina-
ton baggage and smoker. was entirely
demolished also, and to add to the hor-
ror the wreckagc took fire. The second
car OF the Nellie Bly, turned over on
its side and the passengers had to climb
ont through the windows.

Claim and Pension Bills Pass.

Two of the great supply bills of the
government. the postoifice and the dip
lomatic and consular appropriation
bills, were passed by the Senate Fri
day. Early in the day Washington's
farewell address, in accordance with a
custom of the Senate on Washington S

The House devoted the day to odds
and ends of legislation Under an ar
rangement entered into. a large num-
Der of these smaller bills, in which
members are individually interested,
were passed. Twenty-ninc claim bills
and I3o pension bills were passed.
Among the latter was the Senate bill

the Philippines. As the bill passed the
Senate it carried SToo month. The

TINE is At HAND.
Establishment Of Civil Government In Tho
Pm llppines VIII Occur Soon.

According to the latest adyices from
the Philippine commission the time ior
the establishment OF civil government
in the Philippines is near at hand. 1t
was stated at the war department that
the evil government will be established
as soon as Judge TAFT reports that the
conditions in the islands justify such ac-
ton. 1t is generally understood that
Judge Taft will be the first civil govern
or OF the islands and that Gen. Chaftec
will succeed Gen. Macarthur in COM
mard of the military forces to be re-
tanned there to assist in the maintenance
OF order and the enforcement OF the
laws. II is not likely. however, that
there will be any immediate change IN
the military command or that there will
be any material reduction in the mill
tary strength for many months to come.
The Philippine commission has recon-
mended the adoption OF tariff system
and its report probably will be made
public in few weeks in order that I'll
