was. concluded 10 1899 between England and
Enalsnd's Generous Attitude.
THE object OF the negotiations between us
and England which had begun before my arrival,
was to alter and amend our treaty OF 1898, which
contained many impossible features-for exam
pie, with regard to the geographical delmitation.
Thanks to the conciatory attitude Of the Brit

our wishes and interests. All Angola, as far as
the goth degree OF longitude, was allotted TO Us,
so that we reached the Congo territory from the
south. Moreover the valuable islands OF San
Thome and Principe, which lie north Of the
equator and therefore really belonged to the
french sphere OF interest were allotted to US
a fact which caused by French colleague TO
make lively, although vain, representations
Further. we obtained the northern part Of Mo-

Germany her colonial Development member
or the cabinet said to me-
Originally, at the British suggestion. the
congo state was to be included in the treaty,
which would have given us right OF pre-en1p-
ton and possibility Of economic penetration
in the Congo State. But we refused this offer,
but OF alleged respect for Belgian sensibilities
Perhaps the idea was TO economic sue
cesses? With regard also to the practical real
ization of the real but unexpressed object Of the
treaty-the actual partition at a later date Of
the Portuguese colonial possessons-the new
formulation showed considerable advantages and
progress as compared with tile old Thus the
treaty contemplated circumstances which would
enable us to enter the territories ascribed to US,
for the protection of our interests. These con-
diuonaI clauses we're wide that it was really

were concerned, so that, in view Of the complete

MAIL FOR CENTRAL SOUTH
TO BE CARRIED BY AIRPLANE

Cincinnati, Ohio, July 5.-The first
tangible proof that the United States
government intends establishing i'm
Imediately an air mail route in the
middle west and southern states came
here today through the men connect
ed with the Chamber of Commerce of
this city, when it became known that
the reason Lieut.. Kenneth Moore, an
|aviator stationed at the Dayton, Ohio,
flying field, could not participate in
the Fourth of July celebration was
because he was making primary tests
for the federal government to see
,aw long it takes to fly from this
city to Pittsburgh This test has as
its object establishing the first air
mail service between the cities in
question
If this route is established United
States government officials here admit
that Cincinnati will become the mail
distribution point for all material and
mails south Of the Ohio river and east
of the Mississippi, and that within
six months all cities of the central
south will be embraced in a trial aerial
mail distribution system connecting
New Orleans, Memphis, st. Louis,
Atlanta. Chattanooga, Nashville,
Knoxville, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.
Only certain classes of mail will be
handled at first, it is stated, but soon
all but parcel post mail will go by
airplane.

TIPTONIANS KILLED IN
PASSENGER WRECK
FIVE MILES OUT OF NASHVILLE
TUESDAY MORNING
Eighty Nine People Killed and 70 or
More Injured in Head-On Collision
of Two Passenger Trains-SOme
Yet Unidentified.


Eighty-nine persons were killed anc
99 or more injured in passenger
wreck on the Nashville, Chattanooga
q st. Louis railway few miles from
Nashville at 7:15 o'clock Tuesday
morning. Ambulances carried the
dead and injured to the hospitals and
undertaking. establishments in Nash
vile. Several coaches were telescop-
end, and the passengers were cut out
Of the cars with great difficulty.
Many died after reaching the hospit-
ais.
The wreck was caused by a head
on collision Of passenger train No.
|, from Memphis and St. Louis, and
passenger train No. A, bound from
Nashville to Memphis.
Both Of the engines and three bag
gage cars were completely wrecked,
and the first baggage car on No. 1
was telescoped. The first combina-
ton coach on No. A, from Memphis,
heavily loaded with whites and ne
groes, was ripped from end to end,
and few, if any, Of it's passengers
escaped uninjured. Many were killed
almost instantly.
Total number Of colored dead, 55;
total number of white and colored
dead, 80.
The train crew of No. A, the pas
senger train leaving Nashville, is
blamed for the accident in a state
ment by w. p Bruce, general man.
ager Of the road. "When numbers
A and / are on time they meet on
the double track between the union
station and the shop tower, which
is two and half miles from the
union station" Mr.. Bruce stated. "No.
/ was running 80 minutes late, but
not late enough to justify the dis
patcher in moving the outbound train
to Harding station, and it was his
intention to let No. remain at the
new shop junction for No. 1. Fur
thermore, in order that the engineer
Of No. A might identify train No. /,
he was advised by the dispatcher of
the number of its engine.
Wilson B. Harris, son of 7. M.
Harris, and Frank Troy Paine, son
OF w. H. Paine, both Of Covington,
were killed in the wreck. Both of
these young men had enlisted in the
navy. They were just 81 years Of
age, and were estimable and popular
young men, and their tragic death
shocked the entire community. The
deepest sympathy is felt for the be-
reaved families in this community. /
Floyd Richards, formerly Of this
county, son Of Thomas Rishards,
late of Newbern, was also among the
list of killed. His remains are ex-
pected to arrive in Covington today,
and the burial will take place at MT.
Lebanon.
A telegram received here Wednes-
day afternoon from a naval recruit
ing officer at Nashville, addressed to
Mrs. Ellen Best Combs, Of the Brigh-
ton vicinity, stated that her son was
killed in the wreck. His remains are
expected to arrive here today.
The remains of young Harris reach
ed here this morning, and the body Of
Young Paine is looked for this eve
ming at 6:28 o'clock, The plan now
ii to have double funeral for the
two boys at the First Methodist
Church at 10 o'clock Friday morning.
An investigation to determine def
initely who is responsible for the UNI
fortunate collision will be held Sat-
arday.
