THE TERRIBLE TROLLEY.
Collision at Albany Kills Five and
wounds 40, Some Fatally.

Albany. n. Y, May 26.-Electric cars
racing for switch while running in oo-
posite directions at the rate of forty miles
an hour, cost five lives this afternoon by
a terrific collision, in which over forty
prominent people were injured some IA
tally and others seriously.
The scene of the accident was a point
about two miles from Greenbush, on the
line of the Albany aud Hudson Railway.
The point where the cars met on the
single track was at a curve, and so fast
were both running and so sudden was the
collision, that the motormen never
had time to put on the brakes before
south bound car No. % had gone almost
clean through northbound car No. II and
hung on the edge of a high bluff, with
its load of shrieking, MANNED humanity.
One motorman was pinoned up against
the smashed front of the south bound car
with both legs severed and killed Instant
ly, while the other one lived but a few
minutes.
With both motormen killed 1t was hard
to get at the real cause of the accident,
but it is pretty weIl determined that ii
was caused by an attempt of the south
bound car to reach second switch in
stead of waiting for the north-bound car
at the first siding.
The cars weigh fifteen tons each, and
are the largest electric cars built, but so
frightful was the crash that both cars
were torn almost to splinters. Both cars
were filed with Sunday pleasure seekers
returning from a new recreation grounds
that the railway had just opened.
Killed
Frank Smith, motormon; William Mich
OILS. motorman; Maud Kellogg, of Round
Lake; Annie Rooney of Stuyvesant Falls;
David Mohoney, mate on the Dean Rich
mond.
Fatally Injured-George C. Barry. Troy,
hurt internally; Fred j. Smith, Albany,
injured internally.
Twelve others were seriously injured, all
of whom were from Troy and Albany.

CAROL|NA'S MIDDLE
TILLMAN AND McLAURIN BOTH
WANT LONG TERM.
SHORT TERM FOR SMALL MEN.
CHAIRMAN WILLIE JONES is OUT
FOR THE SENATE.

There Are other Candidates and the
Campaign Is Going to BE Lively.
Latimer and Johnston Have 1t in
for Each Other-GOv. McSweeny
Says He Regrets the State of Af-
fairs and viii Not Say When the

feet.
Columbia, S. c., May 26.-It is under
Fstood that Senator McLaurin and Senator
Tillman have a tacit agreement to con-
test for the long term to which Senator
Tlllman was elected last January. Under
the state Democratic party rules, the can
didate must designate specifically the Of
fee to which he aspired. Whether Nc
Laurin wins over Tillman or TilIman is
reelected, McLsurin's unexpired term
will be filed by new man.
There are four announced candidates,
Asbury c. Lattimer, congressman from
the Third district, and said to be Till
mans lieutenant; d. s. Henderson, state
senator from Aiken; Col. George John
stone, ex-congressman from the Third dis
trict, and Willie Jones, chairman of the
State Democratic Executive Committee
and executive officer of the Carolina Ma
tional Bank. Between Johnstone and
Lattimer there is no good feeling, and
this race may be as interesting as II
promised to be before the conditions were
changed, and McLaurin. as it were, put
on the offensive.
The Governor has the right to appoint
regardless of party action, and an effort
will be made to get him to appoint new
men on the ground that Senators Till
man and McLaurin have overstepped the
bounds of propriety.
The official designations have not beer
received as Gov. McSweeney is in Chick
amauga attending the unveiling of the
Confederate monument erected by thi.
state.

Montgomery, Ala, May 26.-Gov. Sam
ford was advised tonight that riot was
imminent at Foshee, Escambia county
and was requested to order a military
company to proceed to that point.
The information and request came from
the Alger-Sullivan Lumber Company of
Foshee, and the Governors private Sec
retary Immediately communicated over
the long distance telephone with Sheriff

THE SURLY GERMANS.
They Cause American Sentries Much
Trouble.

Pekin. May 26.-The United States lega-
ton guard has had its first trouble. Lee
cation street is being repaired near the
legation, and an American sentry was
placed at the point, with orders to direct
people around by side street Every
body obeyed the request, with the excep-
ton of the Germans, both officers and
soldiers, who have caused the American
sentries much trouble.
One of the German officers drew his
sword and charged an American soldier,
who brought his bayonet to charge"
whereupon the officer dessted. Subse-
quently a German soldier charged past
the sentry, who fired. hitting another Ger
man soldier near the German legation,
quarter of a mile off. This, fortunately,
was only a light flesh wound. The SEN
try has been placed under arrest, and
Maj. Robertson has instituted an investi-
cation.
The attitude of DR.. Mumm Won Schwart-
zenstein, German minister, representing
the civilians. and Count Won Waldersee,
representing the military, as we'll as that
of other high officials, has been particu-
larry friendly toward the Americans,
which makes all the more pronounced the
unfriendly feeling evinced by a majority
of the German officers and men. This
unfriendliness is attributed to the Ameri
can attitude in retaining control with the
legation guard of one entrance to the For
bidden City, which the Germans consider
a reflection upon their national honesty.
To-day's meeting of the ministers of
the Powers was devoted to closing up de-
tails of business Independent of the in
demnity question, although the military
authorities of the various Powers seem to
consider a settlement in sight. as general
preparations are being made for the evac-
uation of Pekin in the early future.
Two German marine battalions have left
for Using Tau and British transports
have been ordered. Count Won Walder-
see expects to leave about the middle Of
June.
Emperor Kwang Hsu has instructed
agents to prepare the palaces for occu-
patton by the court as soon as the troops
depart.

To DEBATE REVISION
EREsBYTERIANs WILL RESUME
DISCUSSION TO-DAY.
MAY TAKE DECISIVE STEP.
MODERATE REVIsIONIsTs SEEM To
HAVE MAJORITY.

The Question VIII Come ON the
Adoption of the Majority Report,
Which Proposes the Preparation
of n Brief Summary of the Re-
formed Faith and Amendments to
Several Chapters of the Confess
sion-The Struggle VIII BE Be-
tween the Advocates of n New
Greed and Those Who Desire Only
Moderate Revision.
Philadelphia, May 26.-The debate on
the revision Of the Confession of Faith.
which took up the whole of three days
last week. will be resumed tomorrow
morning by the Presbyterian General AS
sembly, and, 1t is believed some definite
action will have been taken before the
assembly adjourns for the day. Much
comment has been made by the commits
debate. as far as it has gone. There has
been total absence of harsh feeling.
The question now before the assembly
is: Shall the majority report be adopt
ed in its entrety?"
This report, briefly stated, recommends
pare a brief summary of the Reformed
Faith, bearing the same relation to the
Confession which the shorter catedhism
bears to the larger catechism, and formed
on the general model of the Consensus
Greed prepared for the assembly of 1892,
or the articles of Faith" of the Pres
byterian Church of England. The report
also recommends that this committee pre-
pare amendments TO the several chapters
of the Confession, either by modification
of the text or by declaratory statement
so as to more clearly to express the mind
of the church. The motions to
dismiss the whole matter and to strike
out the recommendation in the majority
report for brief summary having been
defeated the contest has narrowed down
to a struggle between the advocates of-a
new creed, and those who wish only a
moderate revision of the Confession. 20
Radical Change Not Likely.
1t is predicted with considerable show
of confidence that the moderate revision.
lists will win against the new creedists,
and that il will then resolve itself into
a contest over the nature of the changes
The two votes already taken would iudi-
cate that the report of the majority win
be adopted without amendment but II

struggle. The moderate revisionists who
| voted with the more extreme members
of the church against dismissal. will ally
themselves with the dismissalists against
any radical amendments to the report.
The sentiment for declaratory statement
as against brief summary is growing,
and it is believed that hesfinal vote may
come on these two issues.
1t is not likely that the assembly will
adjourn before Thursday. The Rev. DR..
w. Il. Roberts, the stated clerk, gave
out the information that there is still
two days work before the assembly AFTER
the revision question is out of the way.
After the present matter is disposed or
the proposition of the establishment Of
judicial commission will hold the at
tention of the assembly Lines are
sharply drawn on this matter and II may
delay somewhat the final adjournment.
Quite a number of commissioners have
returned to their homes.

Returned to Work in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, May 26.-At the beginning
of the second week of the machinists'
strike the situation in Philadelphia is as
follows:
Sixty-seven firms out of $50 have gone
from the ten-hour to the nine-hour day
basis, without reduction in wages; thus
$500 machinists out of 1000 in the city
are working nine hours a day; the ma
chinists employed by forty-one firms,
numbering 1000, continue on strike for a
nine-hour work day; several large firms
have offered compromises in reply to the
unions dmands. and in some cases where
the workmen did not belong to the union,
the compromise was accepted; forty-two
firms have not been affected by the strike
because their machinists are thus far in
sufficiently organized to make stand
with any chance of success.

should.
