mercial season tickets" ara issued to
property accredited commercial trav'
elers, enabling them to travel as often
as they please over all of the Swiss
railway lines. The charges for such
unlimited service are absurdly low

of Prussia returned to this city last
evening, after having completed his
American tour of nine days, journey
ing 4,35s miles, visiting 10 states and
receiving the welcome of hundreds OF

The first thing the prince did after

him everywhere. This was done

"IIis royal highness is very much pleased
by his trip into the interior Of the United
States. He is fully aware Of the fact that
he has had only very superficial glimpse
of a very small portion Of the United
States, and he might perhaps have useo
his time to greater advantage had ne re-
manned in one Of the largest cities OF the
east. But he is convinced, nevertheless
that, considering the character of his mis-
sion, the trip was the right thing for him
to do. In making 1t he has obtained very
fair idea of the vastness of the country
and its resources, which the capital OF the
United States and the great commercial
centers of the east alone could not have
given him. But. more than this impress
sion, he values the hearty welcome which
he met In all the places he went through,
a welcome that showed him how the people
Of the United States everywhere under
stood and appreciated the intention of the
German emperor in sending him here.

Wrecked on a Curve.
The Inflated train left San Antonio
at noon Thursday, 2H hours late, and
at the time the accident occurred was
running at high rate of speed in or
der to make up time. The road at the
point where the wreck occurred is in a
rough country, the curves being sharp
and the grades heavy. 1t was when
rounding curve that the train left
the track, it is said, on account of a
broken rail. The hour was three a. M,
Is hours after the train had left San
Antonio, showing that it was still be-
hind time. All the passengers were
asleep and the shock that followed
was the first intimation they had of
the danger.
Burned to Death.
The train was going at such a rate of
speed that the tender and engine land
ed IS feet from where they left the
rails. The cars behind piled up against
the engine, caught fire and all were
consumed except the sleepers. All
the injured in the coaches just behind
the express and baggage cars were Gre
mated. The people in the sleepers
were saved with the assistance of the
uninjured passengers.
The wrecked train was the Calves
ton, Harrisburg and San Antonio west
bound passenger No. 9, and consisted
of an engine, mail car, baggage car,
one coach. one chair car, three tourist
sleepers, one Pullman sleeper and one
private car. The mail car, the bag
gage car and coaches were piled to-
gether against the engine and were
ablaze in few seconds. 1t was impos
sible to move any of the coaches or the
tourist cars, as they were all off the
rails, and they were consumed by the
flames.
So soon as it was possible to get in
communication with the division head
quarters a relief train with surgeons
and physicians were started from Ell
Paso, Del Rio, and Sanderson, picking
up along the line all the surgeons that
could be found. All of the injured
who were in a condition to be moved
were sent to FL Paso, where they are
receiving careful attention.

OTHER COTTON MARKETS.
PORT.
STOCKS AND RONDS.

New York, August 2.-Semi -stagnation
prevailed in today's stock market, and
only a few professional room traders
had anything to do with the market.
Their operations did not carry prices
far away from last nights level at any
time. The holiday in London left the
market without any orders from that
source and emphasizes the dullness. The
days net changes are slightly mixed, but
the closing tone was heavy. The bank
statement failed to conform to expecta-
tions, but it's publication did not affect
the market to any appreciate extent.
Instead of an expected decrease of over
two millions in cash, the banks report
a decline in reserves of about half a
million. A decrease in loans was hoped
for. instead of which, the loan item has
expanded $,377, 100 The resulting in
crease in deposits has swelled the reserve
requirements to extent of 81 ,262, 075
which. together with the decrease in the
cash, brings down the surplus over the
legal requirements to the extent of
81. 764.275. Today's money and exchange
markets are nominal. The fact that the
next available steamship for shipping
gold to Paris does not sail until next
Thursday, defers the question of further
gold exports. The only features worth
specifying were advices in the local
fractions, with subsequent reactions;
loss of over points in st. Louis and
San Francisco, and buoyant recovery
in the Central of Georgia income bonds
The only notable activity in the bond
market has been in convertible bond is
