Terrible railroad Accident.

Topeka, KS, Jan. 6.-Twenty per-
sons we're killed in collision on the
Rock Island road between the Cali
fornia limited and freight train
at one o'clock this morning, five miles
west of this city The train is the Ell Paso,
Mexico and California express, leaving
Kansas City at $40 p. m. All the pas
senger coaches except the last two Pull
mans, we're piled high up in a heap.
The two trains met squarely in head
on collision. Thirty people are in
iured, five of them probably mortally.
None on board escaped uninjured. Two
corpses and the wounded reached here
on the relief train about s a. M, and
were taken to the hospital. A second
train followed with the balance of the
dead. The trains came together at Will
lard, Kansas, where they were to
have passed each other. The train,
which left Kansas City at 10 O'Clock
last night, was twenty minutes late and
at the time of the accident was running
at the rate of thirty miles an hour
Many persons from Oklahoma who had
taken advantage of the homesteaders'
excursion rates, were on the train. 1t
also contained through sleepers and chair
cars for San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
Details were hard tn obtain. Reporters
who had boarded the relief train were
put off shortly after it started. When the
engines, met they were welded together
by the terrific impact. The engineers
and fremen escaped without injury by
Jumping. 1t was in the third car of the
passenger train, the FIRST coach having
been wrecked by the smoker and baggage
car, that thegreatest loss of life occurred.
The smoker, which was occupied by only
three men, was overturned ard pushed
through the car behind it, which was
crowded with passengers, some standing
in the aisles. Most of those in
the forward end of the car were killed
instantly. The thirty in the rear end
of the coach, however, succeeded III es-
Gaping from that end of the car, which
was still unobstructed. When rescue
was finally possible, only three living
persons we're taken out by the rescuers,
who were compelled to chop holes in the
side and through the floor and top of the
coach to reach them.

SENATOR LODGES sPEEcn.


In the Senate yesterday Mr. Lodge
began his speech on Panama. lie quoted
a number of authorities in support Of his
position that the President had not de-
parted from beaten paths in recognizing
the independent government of Panama
and he laid down the general PROPOSE
ton that a regolted state may be recogniz-
ed as sovereign or independent by
neutral power without departing from its
attitude of neutrality. He also contend
ed that such an act could not be con-
strued as provoking war. Mr.. Lodge
made reply to those who contend that
the fact that the United States had pre-
vented the secession of the Southern
States in thecivil war debars this country
from recognizing any nation which has
come into existence through secession as
has Panama. This argument he deemed
unworthy. Really under present cir-f
cumstances there could be no formation Of
a new nation except by secession. The
right of secession is the right of reyolu-
ton, and has nothing to do with law.
He contended that it is established that
new State should be recognized when
ever new State is sufficiently establish
ed to assume international obligations
and whenever recognition conforms to
the dictates of prudence and good policy:
He also laid down as general rule OBJ
served by the United States the fact that
a defacto government is the de jure gov
eminent. He contended that the re-
cognition of any State is one to be deter
mined entirely by the recognizing power
by its inclination and judgment indie
pendent OF all other considerations.
