revolved about the sun, and also turn

WRECK ON THE SANTA FE.
Five Persons are Killed and Twenty
 three Others Injured.

Keokuk Ia., April c9.-The California limited on the Atchison. Topeka and San la Fe Road. eastbound. was derailed>-on curve at Cana, a switch five miles wesi of MedilI. Mo. this morning while going at a great speed. Five persons were kill ed and twenty three injured.
 The killed: s. T. French, Chicago; MT weitheiner. Santiago, Cal; son of Hen ry c. Gates of Australia. 5 years old, two others whose names are not obtain able.
 The~intured include Conductor Charles Sargent and a twin sister of the Gates boy The parents of the twins were also badly bruised. Mr. and Mrs. Gates were en route from Australia and were witn their children in the dining car when the wreck occurred.
 The train was over an hour late and passed Wynaconda, the last station west, at the rate of sixty-five miles an hour. When the heavy train struck the curve at Cana the rails spread. The train con sisted of two mall cars. seven Pulimans and one dining car. The mail car, the dining car and the two forward sleepers went into the ditch. The tender was ditched but the engine remained on the track. The derailed- coaches were smash ed to kinoling wood, even the axles beini bent out of shape.
 The conductor went to farm house and telephoned a report of the wreck. Tnt railroad officials then hurried relief train from Fort Madison. The trainmen worked nobly, assisted by unhurt pas sengers and neighboring farmers. The place of the wreck is distant from all communication. Every effort Is being made to complete the list of dead and wounded but most of the latter are ir the railroad hospital at Fort Madison.

MARINES TO BE FREED.
Expected That Italy Will Surrender
 Them to America.

Washington, April 29.-The Navy De partment has cabled directly to Captain Dayton of the Chicago at Venice for statement of the facts connected with the arrest of some of the officers of that shiI at Venice So far there has been no offi- cial report on the subject to either the State or Navy Department, fact which causes the officials here to express sur prise. as they feel that the matter Is Of sufficient gravity to warrant an active exhibition of interest. The statements so far made through the press dispatches are not sufficiently precise to enable the officials here to form judgment as to the amount of turpitude involved In the officers conduct, aIS they are disposed to await official advices before expressing an opinion It Is fully expected that as a matter of comity. If for no other reason, the Italian authorities will turn the pris- oners over to Captain Dayton upon his promise that they shall be dealt with &C., cording to the United States naval regu- lations, for an enforcement of the sem tences of confinement In jail would create a very disagreeable impression.
 Rome, April 29.-It was reported today that the United States Minister would moi interfere in the case of the American marines, but it was anticipated that King Victor manuel will pardon the prisoners

AN ELEaAMT T0llET.lUxURY,
ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.
German Non-Commissioned Omcs Accused of Killing Captain.

Accused or AlllluE tdptaAh
 Berlin. April 29-The taking or testi- mony at the third trial by court mar tial of the two German non-commission- ed officers, Sergeants Hechsl ana War ten. charged with murdering Captain Krosigik, of the Prussian cavalry, on ac- count of his harshness, was concluaeo today. For the last fortnight the whole German nation has been following witn intense interest the daily instaiiments or evidence in this case. The popular I'm pression is that the military is straining a point to avenge Captain krosig1k death in the intetest of discipline.
 Over one hundred with ssses were exam ined in the course of this last triai ana their testimony has been ever more vague and more inconciusive than that advanced at the previous trials.
 A surprising feature of the testimony today was obtained from a new witness, a butcher named Mattern, who declared that shortly before the murder or the Captain he saw him and his wife riding on horse back across an open square and that Krosigik struck his wife across the back with saddle girt. Matten said that an unknown officer near him ex- clamied in an undertone You won't peat her much longer"
 At the first trial of the alleged murder CTS in April of last year both men were acquitted. They were tried a second time on new evidence with the result that Hechel was acquitted and Marten was sentenced to death. In January of this year the supreme military tribunal an nulled the two previous judgments of the military court and referred the case Of Hechel and Marten to the Court of Ap- peals.

CLEMSON STUDENTS STRIKE.
Expulsion of Young Thornwell Re
 sented by the Sophomores.

Charleston, S. C., April 29.-As the re- suit of the recent suspension of Cad { Thornwell from Clemson College by the faculty of that college. siXty-nine of the seventy four members of the sophomore class withdrew from college today. Two of the remaining five obtained discharges and also left. and it is understood that the remaining three will leave tomorrow.
 Young Thornwell, who is a grandson of the great Presby terian theologlan was suspended few days ago for taking four glass test tubes from chemical labora- tory without permission. The faculty has been troubled greatly by actions of this kind and notice was gwen that the next offender would be severely dealt with. The faculty refused the request of his fel- lows that Thornwel be reinstated. and hence the exodus of the soph1mores. The students are in sympathy with the class men who have withdrawn and have loan cd them money and exhausted the soc ety's treasuries to pay their transporta- ton home
