Empire State Express in Collision.

A dispatch from Albany last night says:
The Empire State Epress on the New York
Central was In collision tonight, which, but
for the fact that she was not yet under
full speed, would have been a serious
wreck. One fireman was killed. one en-
gineer slightly injured and two locomotives
wrecked. The collision was with a light
engine which was standing on the main
track just as the flyer. leaving Albany at
Z pm. was coming through the Rensselaer,
yards. The engine of the express train was
badly damaged and the smoking car thrown
on the track. The light engine was smashed
and the tender was literally crushed to
bits
Many of the passengers were thrown
down, but none was injured, except q man
who received a slight cut on the face. En-
gineer Collard, an Albany man, was slight
ly injured and unable to go on with the
run. On the light engine the fireman. A
w. Parsons Of Peekskill, was mortaliy hurt.
He died IN five minutes. while doctor was
being sought for.

AN ADVANTAGE LOST.

The failure of the japanese to follow
with at least the attainment of tangi-
Bile advantage on land is almost equiv
alent to a direct repulse. More than a
month has passed since the first shot
of the war was fired. No one appeared
to understand better than the japanese
themselves that the issue of the fight
for them depended upon the sudden
ness of their attack and upon finding
their mighty enemy unprepared. To
this end they smote the Russian ships
of war in a night To this end they
rushed forward the batta1ions already
held in readiness. To this end they oc-
cupied Korea and pushed to the front.
and for weeks the world has waited
every morning for news of similar
advantage by land.
The time that has been lost is of
fateful import to Japan. No great en-
gagement has been had. No consider
able advantage has been won. Just
where the troops of Japan are at pres
ent located no one knows, but they
have not come into conflict with those
Of the car. The Trans Siberian rail-
road has been running without inter-
ruption to vladivostok. and its Chinese
branch to Port Arthur. Communica-
tons have not been cut. and what the
japanese have been doing in all this
time we cannot understand.
The difficulties in the way of a swift
land advance are admittedly very great.
The Invaders must push forward
through rugged country with climate
not unlike that of Northern Canada,
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-03-19

without railroads and without means
of transportation, except such as they
may bring with them. 1t is the bust
ness Of nations at war to over
come difficulties. 1t is their BUSH
ness not to recognize the impossible.
Japan had calculated so nicely the
other elements of the problem she had
to deal with, and met them so eff
GENTLY, that the world expected her to
equal that performance in her land ad-
vance. Now there may be another
story.
The Russian is as good a soldier as
the world can furnish. There has been
ample time to send forward reinforce
ments, to throw in supplies, to select
and fortify available strategic points
and to put the Russian army on bet
ter basis than that of Japan. What
ever odds may have been in favor Of
the latter at the opening stages of the
war are transferred to the former as
the situation now exists.

MINERS WILL SIGN
NEW TW0-YEAR SCALE
Result of the Decision of the Men Not

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March IS
Secretary-Tr Treasurer w. B. Wilson, OF
the United Mine Workers, announced
today that the tellers had finished the
count of the referendum vote of the
miners on the operators compromise
proposition. which provides for a re-
duction of 5.55 per cent from the pres
ent wage scale, which resulted in ma
jority of 31,141 in favor of accepting
the two-year contract with the reduc-
ton.
The total vote cast by the miners

Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kentucky
West Virginia and Iowa. was 165,SS7

CONTEST FOR SEAT
LEFT UNDECIDED
House Committee in Dilemma
as to Southern Repre-
sentation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 49,
In making it's report today in favor of
Mr.. Lever, in the Dantzler-Lever con-
test from the Seventh South Carolina
district, House Committee on Elections
No. takes the ground that the inves-
tigation shows that Dantzler, colored
| man, was not elected.
At the same time the committee re-
fuses to say that Lever was elected,
and the report leaves him in the same
position as if no contest had been
| made. The committee draws the con-
clusion that if it advanced a ruling on
the disfranchisement of the colored
vote, and declared Lever not elected
on that ground, the decision would be
a precedent for unseating nearly every
member in the house from Southern
states
The basis of Dantzler's claim was
that the constitution of South Caro-
lima, adopted in 1895. was contrary to
the reconstruction act of June %, 1853,
readmitting South Carolina and other
states to representation in congress-,
which contained no provision as to
educational and property qualifica-
| lions, as provided in the present state
constitution and laws passed under it.
| his district had been allowed to VOTE
under the act of 1868, he would have
been elected The report of the COM
mittee passes over this claim by de-
claring it to be plain that Dantzler
was not elected. The report says:
/ However desirable 1T may be for leg
islative body to retain control Of the de-
cision as to the election and qualification
of its members, it is quite certain that q
legislative body is not the ideal body to
pass judicially upon the constitutionality
of the enactments of other bodies. We
have in this country a proper forum for
the decision of constitutional and other
judicial questions. If any citizen Of South
Carolina, who was entitled to vote under
the constitution of 1868 is now deprived
by the provisions of the present consti-
tuition from voting he has the right to
tender himself for registration and for
voting. and in case his right is denied. to
bring suit. in the proper court for the
purpose of enforcing his right and re-
cover damage for its denial. His case can
| be carried by him, If necessary, to the
supreme court off the United States.

Do Not Agree With volstead.

To the Editor of The Globe:
Permit me to correct a statement that
appeared in the Thursday issue of T h e
discussing the state political situation.
The Clio b & stated that Congressman
Volstead was making an effort to secure
an Endorsement in the conventions in his
only county that acted affirmatively. The
reverse of this Is the case. Many of the
other counties indorsed Volstead's stand
on reciprocity. but the matter was never
limited at in the Olivia convention, and
resolution indorsing Volstead would have
precipitated a fight in the convention.
The Republicans of Renville have not
the least animosity towards Volstead, but
the majority of them do not agree with
him i'm his anti-reciprocity programme.

ROSE WILL NOT TELL
WHERE THE GIRL is
Music Teacher of Carrie Hamilton Ar
rested in Chicago.

CHICAGO, March 1S.-All efforts to
find Carrie Hamilton, the fifteen-year-
old girl who is said to have been lured
from her home at Saginaw, Mich, have
failed Barney Rose, her former mu-
sic teacher, was arrested here today
on complaint of the missing girls
brother, who came to Chicago to as
sist the police in the search.
When arrested two watches were
found in Roses pockets, and he de-
clared that he was a watch peddler.
Later, however, the girls brother iden-
titled one of the watches as that of the
missing girl.
Relatives of the girl assert that
while Rose was acting as her music
teacher he won Miss Hamilton's love
and persuaded her to go with him to
Chicago. What has become of the girl
since coming here Rose refuses to tell.

Contemporary Comment
Senator Fairbanks.

Although the Fairbanks personality
is not too engaging, and his hard shell
ed conservatism would not inspire
much enthusiasm in the breast of the
average citizen, the senator's ability is
spoken of uniformly with respect by
his colleagues and by everybody that
knows him. He lis conceded to be one
Of the ablest lawyers in Indiana-a
corporation lawyer, to be sure; but
corporations are, not In the habit of
mentally. In his person the senator
represents all the stiff decorum and
solemn dignity of the United States
senate, and would therefore make an
ideal presiding officer for that body.
He would probably regard himself as
too strong a man to be shelved in the
vice presidency. but Mr. Roosevelt has
destroyed the superstition that the vice
presidency is the graveyard of a pres
idential ambition.-Detroit Free Press.

LOUBET WILL NOT
TRY TO MEET Plus
Pontiff Makes Speech DepIorine
French Governments Attitude.

ROME. March 18.-The pope today,
in receiving the members of the sacred
college who called to offer the pontiff
their greetings on his name day, the
feast Of st. Joseph, which occurs to-
morrow. made a speech in which he
strongly lamented the fact that the
French government did not consider
his recommendations on the subject,
but continued to persecute the clergy
and religious orders with increasing
violence, and was now citing before
the law courts bishops who did their
duty in calling the attention of the
country to the injustice from which
the clergy and members Of the religious
orders were suffering.
In both Vatican and quirina1 circles
it is considered that the speech Of the
pope is a definite Indication that Pres
ident Loubet, during his visit to Rome
in April as guest of the king of Italy,
will not even try to meet the pope.

CONSCIENCE DOTH MAKE COW
ARDS.

The decision of the Republican steer
ing committee at Washington is emf
nently in harmony with the party char
acter and in conformity with party
needs 1t is the decision Of men whom
conscience has made towards. 1t is
settled that all legislation except the
that the majority will do nothing more
before the coming election, and that if
an adjournment is to be prevented and
the session prolonged, the responsibility
therefor will be thrown upon the Dem
ocrats.
This is an issue that the party in op-
position can very cheerfully accept.
The Republicans are in complete con-
troll of the national government, as
they have been for the last eight years.
They have the power to enact any leg
islation they see fit. In all their plat
forms, stuffed with buncombe, there are
outlines of policies which they profess
to regard as of national value. They
must be made to toe the mark, and
either to pass laws embodying their
alleged principles or to confess to the
country that they dare not do so.
We believe that political impotence
has as much to do with the situation
,irT1 hos
gone out of Republicanism. Even had
1t no election to fear, it would not to-
day be able to put upon the statute
books a single positive act. Its mem
bers are bitterly divided on the tariff,
on currency questions, on reciprocity,
on every single subject except the ne
cessity of squelching Investigations
into official corruption and the advisa-
bility of increasing public expenditures
! in every direction. Add to this weak
ness the immense terror which such
men feel lest whatever they do be
brought up against them in the cam
paign this fall, and we may under
stand how they hunger and thirst for
an early adjournment.
1t will be the duty and pleasure Of
Democrats to pin these hating fellows
to the wall. They shall be made to de-
clare plainly what is their future pol
| icy. They must tell the country wheth-
er, if they remain in power, there will
be or will not be tariff legislation; and
| If there is, of what character. They
| must tell the country what is to be
their policy toward combines and
trusts. They have now complete power,
both executive and legislative, and be-
| hind them the affirmation Of the high
est courts. What are they to do with
| the bomb which they are now holding
| In abject terror, equally fearful to drop
or to throw it?
They cannot maintain merely mega
tive attitude and win. A positive atti-
tude is beyond either their favor or
their powers. No party ever prepared
for a general campaign under more
hampering disadvantages than those
that now fetter Repub1icanism. The
| witness Of their cowardice shall not
escape the attention of the. country.

and every barn and building in the
state with huge placards announcing
it's inability to keep faith with the peo-
pie on the tariff issue, as to have added
an invitation to ridicule to its guaran-
tee of bad faith.
The people of Minnesota believe in
tariff reduction. The interests of the
people of Minnesota demand tariff re-
duetion. Will they continue to support
a party which turns their hopes and
their interests into derision and makes
a mockery of their want and their
needs?
