FREIGHT WAS LITTLE LATE
(By Associated Press,

LONDON, ONT, Dec. 27.-The most
frightful rail. Dad accident in the an
mails Of the past decade happened q short
distance from the little station of Wan
stead, on the Sarnia branch of the Grand
Trunk Railway, last night The trains
in collision were the Pacific Express and
a freight. The express vas running
nearly two hours late and vas making
fast time. The f.eIgnt was enceavorins

the s--rieks and cries Of thu won ed and
the dying filed the air. The loss OF life
is twenty-five. The injured will number
considerably more, and many OF these
may die.
Many OF the dead were terribly mutt
lated. Heads were cut off, legs wrench
ed from bodies and the level stretch Of
snow became crimson with the blood OF
the victlms.
The responsibility for the accident has
not been definitely fixed, but il Is be-.
leved to have been due to a teleGra ph
operators error.

order to the freight TO pass No. 81" the

through. The freight. meantime had
stopped at Wanstead TO side track and

NEw YORK. Dec 1.-THE following
Interview, given by ex-President grover
Cleveland to d representative Of the
New York world. is the only authorized
statement by him on the present situa-
tion in Venezuela Mr.. Cleveland said:
10 use the Monroe Doctrine under
uny. circumstances as a shield for debt of
nations which happen to be on this
hemisphere. would be use of ii never
Intended nor foresecn by President Mon
roc.
.t.Aere is e vast essential difference
between territorial aggrandizement and
the legitimate collection of deLts lawfully
contracted and justly owed.
ITO make the Monroe Doctrine cover
the latter as we'll as the former would
be to make IT indefensible and absurd.
During my second presidential term
There We're TWO instances of forcihle col
lection Of debts In South America by
England. one in Venezuela and one IN
Corinto. Nicaragua. but no action was
taken by the American government. save
that OF watching the transaction. and
rendering our good offices in the direc-
zion o: averting any warlikc collision.
THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
"At the present time the Monroe Doc
srine is endangered from two opposite
directions. on the one hand by those
who 90 not appreciate the vital import
ence of its proper Interpretation as 9
principle of our national policy. and on
the other hand by those who would
wilfuny extend its scope

would make a foolish insistence upon

purview. and al the same time care must
be taken that 1T Is not endangered by
q failure to observe the effect of any
action. though seemingly rmote. which
!nignt result in an infraction Of its pro-
visions.
but my position in this matter IS suf-
ticienuy embodied in the acts and dec
iarations made by me while President,
at a time when the Monroe Doctrine
was a burning question, AS / said in

PIERRE. S. D., Feb. 9Os-(Speoial Tele-

Platte. today secured a writ Of habeas
corpus from the supreme court in the case
OF Olaf Nielsen, one Of the persons charged
with cattle rustling in Lyman county. The
ground for asking for the writ is that the
Indictment was found at a special term Of
court, which is claimed to be in violation
of constitutional provisions. The argument
on the habeas corpus will be before the
supreme court early in March. The case
is OF immense Importance, for the reason
that all the indictments returned in the
numerous %rustling cases in that county will
be knocked out II the position taken In this
case is sustained.
