Trunk Railroad and n Fearful
Wreck Occurred.

Montreal, Can. Sept. Mime per-
sons were killed and 20 others injured
in a head-on collision on the Grand
Trunk railway near Richmond, Que.
The trains involved were special ex-
cursion from Montreal bound for Sher-
brooke and passenger trainNNo. s, run
ming between Island Pond, VT, and
Montreal. The collision, 1t is claimed,
vas due to neglect Of orders on the
part Of the train crew of the excursion
train, which left Richmond without
awaiting the arrival of the passenger
train.
The excursion train was running as
the first section of the regular Grand
Trunk Portland express. which usual
ly crosses the Island Pond track at
Richmond and was running on Its
time. This makes 1t all the more in
applicable why Conductor Atkinson, in
charge of the excursion train, did not
wait TO make the usual crossing. At
kinson disappeared shortly after the
wreck occurred.

out since the latest advices yesterday
were that the crossing OF the river
was not being opposed. The fact,
disclosed for the first time In these
dispatches last night, that the strong
est position prepared by Gen. Kuropat-
kin was not around the town Of Lao
Yang, as the public has been led to
believe, but on the right. or north bank
of the Taitse river, was secret so sue

that the Japanese, when they made
their advance on Lao Yang, would pur-
cue the identical tactics which have
been so successful in every previous
stage of the campaign, and while at
lacking in front would attempt by a
wide detour to outflank the Russian
position. Gen. Kuropatkin was not
caught mapping. He was prepared for
just what happened and as soon as he
received word that Gen. Kuroki had
crossed the Taitse 20 miles above Lao
Yang and was moving westward Kuro-
patkin in the opinion Of the general
staff, gained an immense advantage.

London, Sept 5.-Assuming, as prac-
tically every Englishman does, that
Russia has lost this campaign. the
question is asked, will It fight an
other? The best information goes to
prove that the government group at
st. Petersburg already has answered
the question in a decisive affirmative
and nothing binders except the risks
of a general internal revolt. now
somewhat remote. Men and money
will fail Japan before they fail Russia
and the Russian position in the far
east must grow much worse before the
Russian autocracy will accept what
they would regard as shameful peace
at the hands Of the despised Asiatic.
The idea of Intervention is put aside.

Other state Nominees Spoke
Large Crowd Present.

Kansas City. Mo-, Sept. 3.-About
10000 people attended The republican
meeting in Convention hall last night
to participate in the formal opening
OF the republican state campaign. The
candidates for state Offices, members
Of the state committee and leading re-
publicans of the state and city took
seats on the platform. Thomas n
Nicdringhaus. chairman Of the state
central committee, raped for order.
He introduced Rev. J. M. Cromer. who
offered q prayer. He asked that the
blessing of God might rest on this
campaign for righteousness and truth"
The chairman then introduced Mayor
Neff, who welcomed the candidates
and visiting republicans and friends
Of the opposing party He suggested
that the party had not only invited,
but commanded its distinguished lead
ers TO help in the fight against the OPP
position.
A. E. Stilwell was introduced as the
chairman of the meeting. He put the
audience in good humor with stories
and humorous references.

a relation of the high standing OF Mis-
souri, in commerce and industries. Yet
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1904-09-08

the dry statistics presented in an ear
nest and effective way aroused enthu-
siasm In the patriotic and loyal Mis-
souri, crowd. The speakers voice was
full and strong and was heard in every
part of the hall. His declaration that
no manager or candidate Of the re-
publican party in Missouri had made
any compact or agreement with any
corrupt political element was met
with cheers. He urged that Missouri
get into harmony with the federal
government and pointed ont the ad-
vantages, particularly In reference TO
the proposed Panama canal and the
Improvement Of the rivers in antici-
patton of the growth of water traffic,
of republican representation from Mis-
souri, in congress. His declaration for
good highways also struck a respon-
sive chord. He referred ironically to
.he effort of the democrats to patch
up the management Of the party and
the audience laughed. He suggested a
change OF management of the state
government.
The band played ''The Star Spangled
Banner" Presently the tune changed
to Hail to the Chief" and all eyes
were turned to the entrances. Senator
Fairbanks was recognized, escorted by
Mayor Neff. whose large frame broke
q way for the slender statesman. Sen
ator Fairbanks was cheered when he
arose to deliver his address. His voice
was deep and full, but 1t could not be
heard distinctly in all parts of the hall.
This unfortunate fact was not due en-
tirely, however, to the quality of the
voice. Shortly after the senator be-
gan hundreds of persons in the gal
leries and in the opposite part Of the
arena floor from the platform left their
seats.
Senator Fairbanks reached Kansas
City early Friday morning from Ma
rion, Kan, in a special car attached to
the regular train. He was met at the
train by Mayor Neff and Walter s.
who escorted the senator to his hotel.
Cyrus P. Walbridge, republican can
didate for governor; John C. McKin-
ley, candidate for lieutenant governor,
and other state nominees were intro
duced to the guest Of the day and at
1890 carriages we're announced.

cal reception committee, took Senator
