Burlington Trains Collide in IOwn
with Bad Results.

Ottumwa Iowa, May 6.-Burlington
passenger train No. to-day, while pass
ing Thayer small town, eighteen miles
east Of Creston, struck an engine at
taehed to freight train which was en-
deavoring to get out Of the way by back
ing on the side track and was derailed,
killing Engineer S. D. Brown OF Burlipg-
ton. and injuring thirty people.
All but the two rear cars of the pas
senger train left the rails and rolled
down a 20-foot embankment Thayer Is
situated in the bed Of deep ravine,
through which the track is laid. A heavy
train. in order to make schedule time, is
compelled to use steam down one hill to
reach the top of the other. Owing to
the fact that both tracks for
great distance are heavily curved,
neither engineer could see the
other train with 200 feet of it. The en-
gineer of the freight train heard the pas
senger train coming and made frantic en-
deavors to back the heavy train on the
sidetrack. He succeeded in getting all but
his engine to a place Of safety.
On came the passenger train at the rate
of seventy miles an hour. When within
z0o rect OF the point OF colllslon, Engineer
Brown saw the danger. threw the air
brake to the emergency notch, applied
the sand. and stuck TO his engine in the
grim endeavor to save the precious
freight behind. The crew of the freight
engine, making desperate efforts to
avoid the impending catastrophe, stayed
with the engine until the last second
when they jumped and saved themselves
instant death. The freight engine was
thrown across the track. The passenger
engine was hurled down the twenty-foot
embankment followed by the baggage
car, express car. day coach and three
chair cars, the chair cars and day coach
having a large number of passengers

Melbourne. May 6.-The Duke and
Duchess of Cornwall and York landed
from the steamer Ophir at o'clock this
afternoon.
The Duke and Duchess were received at
the pier head by Lord Hopetoun. gov
ernor general, and the state and federal
ministers. After the ministers had been
presented. the party passed down a quarter
of a mile or carpeted pier and entered
carriages surrounded by a guard of honor
composed of Victorian troops just re-
turned from South Africa. and proceeded
a distance of seven miles through bril-
liantly decorated streets, bordered with
almost continuous lines of stands filled to
their utmost capacity.
Opposite the town hall the procession
passed beneath the Queens arch cano-
pied with the royal colors and sheltering
a golden statue of Queen Victoria. Twelve
thousand troops were in line. There are
eighty thousand visitors in Melbourne.
The drive terminated at Government
House.

NOT TO OPEN UP MANCHURIa.
Was Only Suggestion of n Chinese
OdnciRI.

London. May GA representative of the
Associated Press was officially Informed
to-day that the statement of the Shang-
hal spondent of the London Times
that China has approached the Powers
suggesting a complete opening of the
Manchuria to the enterprise of all coun-
tries and that replies have been received
from Japan, the United States and Great
Britain, is incorrect. China has not APP
preached the Powers in regard to a gen.
eral opening of Manchuria
What actually occurred was that a high
Chinese official threw out such a sugges-
ton and after some slight diplomatic men,
tion. the matter ended there. II is realized
in Downing street that any step toVA rds
securing the opening up of Manchuria
would be construed al st. Petersburg as
direct opposition to Russia's desires. The
British foreign Office has not the slightest
intention of embarkng upon such a fruit
less task as the one indicated by the
Times correspondent. and believes the
United States aud Japan fully concur
with that view.
1t is now feared that in spite of the
protest of the United States and Great
Britain the Chinese maritime customs
will be raised considerably above the 8
per cent. increase to which Great Brit
ain consented in order to help China meet
the indemnity. That such action will
principally hurt American and British
trade is keenly appreciated in Downing
street, but it appears that the increase
cannot be avoided without the British
and American withdrawal from the con-
cert. which step Lord Lansdowne does
not contemplate for a moment.

Washington, May 6.-It is learned from
an authoritative source that before Sec

several conferences with Lord Paunce-
fote relative to the basis for another
isthmian canal treaty, and that an unofil-
cial written memorandum was submitted
to Lord Pauncefote on The subject The

results of these converse tions, and of the
memorandum to the authorities in Lon

ion is made in the London dispatches 1t
is said. however, that the negotiations
are so tentative and informal that they
are not regarded as an official exchange
or proposition. What they embody is not
made known here. though it is understood
they are chiefly an exposition of the views
held by United States senators, as TO the
essential features which should be includ-
ed in treaty. While this is not a
profer of a treaty it conveys to the Brit
ish authorities what is considered es-
sential by the senators who control the
ratification of any treaty which will be
n ade. 1t also is learned indirectly from
Sc nators who have been consulted that
among the chief features in the negotla-
tons are neutralizing Of the canal, the
United States alone undertaking to guar
antee this neutrality and the admission
of all shipping on an equal basis with
that of the United States.
Although, as stated, these conferences

THE CUP DEFENDER LAUNCHED.
A Brilliant scene mt Bristol as the
Champion Took the water.

Bristol r. l., May with her hull
gaily decorated with flags and her deck
well filled with sailors, the yacht Con-
stitution was christened this evening by
Mrs. w. Butler Duncan, who broke the
traditional bottle of wine on her glisten-
ing boy just as abe started slowly down
the ways into the sea.
A platform had been rigged under the
bow of the boat and on this Mrs Duncan
stood when the gong for the starting was
sounded. Besides her on the platform
was her husband the manager of the new
boat but all the rest Of the party stood
little distance off.
At the sound of the gong Mrs Duncan
dashed bottle of champagne against the
yachts bow, and as the wine gushed in
sparkling foam on the prov, the sleek
racer acquired motion and slowly began
her descent into the water. With the
breaking of the bottle Mrs. Duncan, in a
clear voice, said:
II christen thee Constitution"
The scene was brilliant one as the
Constitution was slowly lowered into the
water. the cheering from the boats out
side being loud and vigorous, while the
searchlight from the steam yacht Colonia,
just outside the dock. Illuminated the
stern Of the Constitution
The spectators generally came TO the
conclusion that the new defender Is
actually a much improved Columbia, with
all of the sailing virtues and none Of her
trifiing faults. She was hauled out of her
moorng. She will be taken alongside the
dock tomorrow and her mast will be
stepped
1t was impossible to see much of the
yachts shape as she rested on the ways
illumined by the brilliant electric lights
which showed the grace of her form.
Once clear of the shed she was lost in the
blackness of the night.

ba two years ago, says he thinks the
Constitution is a larger and finer boat
and is sure that she will make record.
