Great Hesper was not there. 1t was
not probable they would put the dla-

from the case, and what had they done

TAKES A WIDE SCOPE.


Washington, Oct. 91.-In circular
note Secretary Hay has carried out
the presidents instructions relative to
proposing second Hague conference.
The note not only contemplates the
reassemblng of The Hague conference
for the consideration Of questions spe-
officially mentioned by the original
conference, as demanding further at
tention, such as the rights and duties
of neutrals, the inviolability Of private
in naval warfare and the
bombardment of ports by naval force,
but goes further by practically indors-
ing the project of general system OF
treaties and the establish
ment of an international congress to
meet periodically in the interests of
peace. The issue of the call while the
present war is in progress is justified
by the fact that the first Hague confer
ence was called before our treaty Of
peace with Spain was concluded.

Tlpton, Mo-, Oct. 31.-Three persons
were killed and 26 injured In a rear
end collision on the Missouri PACING
railway here. The first section OF
westbound train No. 8 was standing IN
front of the station at Upton, AFTER
having taken water, when 1t was
crashed into by the second section
The engine of second No. 3 split IN TWO
for two-thirds of its length the Pullman
car Topaz, in which were IA passen-
gers. There were % passengers in the
next car ahead, but most of them es-
capped injury. The train crews were
uninjured.
The killed are J. Walker Bagby and
Mrs. Matte Burke, of Kansas CITY,
Mo-, and Mrs. D. B. Walker, OF Lewis
burg, Pa. Among the injured are W.

The blame for the wreck, according
to Superintendent W. ]. Mckee, who
went at once to the scene of the wreck,
rests with the engineer and conductor
of the second section, They were run
ming rs miles an hour, when they
should have had their train under con-
troll.
E. S. Jewett, passenger agent OF the
Missouri Pacific, was one OF the pas
sengers on the first section. He also
said it looked like carelessless. ut

said, almost as light as day. A train
a half mile down the track could be
seen easily. And yet, although the en-
gineer had orders to stop at Upton,
he did not even slacken speed. The
fellow had 10 have some excuse. The
engine which faced the second section
was on a train considerable distance
from the main track, and the light OF
its headlight was not thrown upon the
train, but off to one side.
The engineer says he was running 70
miles an hour when he struck the first
section, but think he was running
nearer So. | cannot explain how 1t
