ed and fast freight. The limited was running as a first section from Oelwin' wa, to Minneapolis The second section consisted of an excursion train running from Des Moines to Minneapolis and was three hours behind time.
 The fast freight, south bound received an order at Dodge Centre reading that the second section of the passenger train was four hours late and the crew evidently misread the order and attempted to make siding between Dodge Centre and Hast ings, Minn., thinking that 1t was the lim- tied that was ,te. Meanwhile the limited was pounding along at regular speed and met the freight head-on just after the limited had rounded 8 curve at Vlasaty. The morning was foggy
 Both engines were badly damaged but they remained standing upright on the tracks. The baggage and buffet cars were completely wrecked and turned crosswise of the tracks. The first sleeper back of the buffet was badly smashed in the for ward end. The four rear cars remained intact on the track.
 Three cars In the freight were wrecked, one of them containing number of sheep which were killed.

 Leo.

oyster Bay, L. l., July 26.-The Presi- dent. Mrs Roosevelt and all of their children, except the youngest boy. at tended services this morning in Christ church The Rev. Dr. Washburn was absent and his place was taken by the Rev. J. Winthrop Hageman. During the sermon Dr. Hagema1 spoke of the death of the pope, which he said meant great deal to the Christian world, for 1t had brought the various denominations closer together than they ever had been before and thus had marked step forward in the work for which Pope Leo so long worked, and which he favored so strong ly-the reunion of Christians the world over. While the world had suffered a severe blow by the death of the great churchman, his very death had worked for good.
 After the service President Roosevelt shook hancs with Dr. Hage man and as- sured him he had been greatly interested in the service and the sermon.

LOOKING FOR A SITE.
vaIapaIIa Go. Will colonize 500 Dan-
 ish Families In Mexico.

Mexico City. July 26.-The Valapara colonization and Improvement company, composed principally of California capital ists. is now looking for colony sites in Mexico for 800 Danish families. With this end in view five of the company are now touring the republic inspecting desirable sites. Their desire is to obtain sufficent- lv large tract as soon as possiIe, for there are 100 families now at Tilamook, Ore, awaiting their decision and selection to move immediately on the land. When they have been sttled the company will provide transportation for other colonists from Denmark until the full quota of % families has come over.
 Later on the number may be increased to 1000 families, depending on the success of the pioneers who will be sent over to test the agricultural and grazing condi- tions of the tract selected.

KEARSARGE HAS
 COMPLETED TRIP
Arrives at Bar Harbor After
 Race Across Atlantic
CAME OVER IN NINE DAYS
Steamed at Average Speed of 1316 Miles an Hour and Suffered No Accidents - Received
 By Admiral Parker.

Bar Harbor, Me-, July 26-The United States battleship Kearsage arrived at Bar Harbor at 5:42 p. m. and dropped an- chor in the upper harbor at 6:1S. All day the short path had been thronged with people anxiously watching the eastern horizon for the first glimpse of the fam ous ship, but it was not until o'clock that her immense hull appeared out or the mist in the east. Coming full speeo the ship entered the harbor and passing the other ships of the squadron at an- chor. proceeded to the upper harbor, where the battleship Illinois, with Admi- ral Baker on board, was anchored. Al ter the usual formality the representative of the Associated Press was received on board and was the first to greet captain Hemphill, who expressed surprise that their trip should be of interest to others outside of the navy department. He said: "We left the Needles at 1:20 p. m. on Friday, July II, and passed Mount Desert rock at 12:3O today, covering the distance of 200 miles in nine days Az hours. an average speed of 1916 miles an hour"
 The highest speed attained was a llttle oyer fifteen knots an hour, and the slow est ten. Three times during the trip the ship was slowed down, once on account of being in the vicinity of an iceberg and twice on account of a very thick fog. Head winds and thick weather retarded the speed of the ship and under faVor- able conditions she would have covered the distance in less than nint days
 Since the Kersarge left New York ffty-three days ago she has visited Ger many, Denmark and England, has steamed S20O miles, has been at sea twenty-four days and in port twenty nine, ana during all this time there mas not been a single accident to the ma chinery, not break or a stop Of any kind. She is ready for action. When she left Portsmouth she carried l64O tons of coal She now has on board 40, con- suming 1230 tons on the voyage, an aver age of 1S5 tons daily.
 The trip of the Kersarge has demon- strated that a ship of her class can main- tain an average speed of over thirteen knots on a long voyage without injury to her machinery; that her coal carrying capacity is adequate for a trip of 1000 war ships of her class can cross the ocean and engage an enemy at once and that the Kearsarge is one of the most perfect ships in the world, and fully equal to any emergency.

GLOOM IN LONDON.
Panic on Wall Street Is Felt by the
 Spectators.

London. July 26.-The influence of Wall street, combined with the threatening aspect in the far east speedily disslpated the hopes that the market closed with the previous week, and threw gloom into all the markets during the past week. The public ceased to buy and was dis inclined to venture any place in the market. The fall of consols adversely influenced all investment stocks Home rails were weak, but foreign securities were fairly steady, being supported by Paris. where less importance was at tached to the Manchurian difficulty.
 The features of the week have been the heavy selling and decline of Japanese securities and the advance of Spanish se- curities on the appointment of the new ministry South African mines were dull and depressed. Americans were com pletely dominated by Wall street and closed somewhat firmer in the hope that the worst was over.

Democratic Senator's Caucus.
Washington, March 1.-THE demo-
cratic senator's, at their caucus Mon
day, resolved to stand together in the
senate in support of two amendments
to the Panama canal treaty. One of
these provides for the modification
of the twenty-third article of the
treaty, so as to insure the control of
the canal zone by the United States.
and the other enlarges the provision
in the fourth article of the treaty
with disavowal Of any inten-
ton on the part of the United States
"to increase it's territory at the ex-
pense of Colombia or of the sister
republics in Central or South Amer
ica," so as to include Mexico.
All the democratic senator's, ex-
cept Messrs. Dubois, Culberson, Nor
gan, McLaurin, Clarke (Ark.) and
Gibson, were present. 1t is the I'M
derstanding that all the democrats
will support the two amendments
agreed upon, but that after they are
acted upon individuals shall be. at lib
-erty to vote for or against the treaty
as they may elect. 1t is also the
understanding that someof the demo-
cratic senators will support some of
Senator Morgan's individual amend
ments, but that they will do so as in
diyidual senator's, and not as MEM
beers of the democratic caucus.

peated in the caucus say that whetn-
