PASSEKTGERS AND ENGINES WRECKED Disaster at a Curve on a Colorado Railroad Results in Serious I Damage. April A serious head-on collision occurred on the Florence and Cripple Creek road to-day near Russell, seven miles north of this city. Six persons were injured. They are: Hugh Conway, Canyon City, fireman on passenger train, left foot crushed: James Maclaren, engineer on passenger, severely cut about head, neck and shoulders; Engineer Mason, cut about face; John Brown, conductor on passenger, back badly wrenched; F. W.

Perry, chest crushed; Charles T. Sprague, newspaper man from Atlanta, nose broken and cut about head. The accident occurred on a sharp curve. A light engine was coming from Cripple Creek and was trying to make the siding at Oro. Junta.

The passenger train was running at a speed of about ten miles an hour. Both engines were demolished. The responsibility for the collision has not yet been fixed. Railroad magnates, having arrived at the conclusion that it takes three times as many cars to move a given quantity of freight as it did in former times, have turned the problem of correction over to Midgley. Should his experiments prove satisfactory the bureau will be made permanent.

Detention of cars at freight terminals is the greatest evil Midgley will attempt to correct. It is said that chiefly from this, cause the car- famine of the last year resulted. Railway officials declare that the average daily service of a freight car has fallen to below twenty-flve miles tier day, where formerly the average was ninetyfive miles. The new bureau is to be in the nature of a car tracing organization which will see to it that a car, having arrived at a terminal station, is quickly unloaded 'and returned by the shortest route to the road to which it belongs. fro.ads of the United States are expected to Interest themselves, is an experiment which will soon be tried at the instance of financial powers who have recently engineered gigantic changes in the railway systems of the 'country.

SAIC JOSE, April The number of poets throughout the county of Santa Clara brought to light by the desire of the Rose Carnival committee for an ode to do honor to President McKinley upon his visit to this city on May 13 is surprising. There has been no public request for such a poem and no idea of a contest for poetical supremacy, but it has become pent rally understood that the souvenir v-hioh will be presented to Mr. and Mrs. McKinley will contain a few rhythmical lines commemorative cf the occasion. Xow each mail is bringing to the committee a supply of McKinley poetry, from the four-line blank verse iambic pentameter to the column and a half of doggerel to the air "Marching Through Georgia."

Dr. Martinez Silvela, has received a cable dispatch from. Bogota saying that the Government authorities have the situation completely in hand, peace and quiet -being restored at all important points and the revolutionists being scattered to the wild interior regions. It adds that the extensive river commerce has been resumed and that the exports of coffee and sugar are being revived in a most satisfactory manner. United States Minister Hart at Bogota has transmitted to the State Department a translation of a decree of the Colombian executive exempting the following articles -from import duties "during- the continuance of the present disturbed condition of the public order and during sixty days Sweet potatoes, potatoes, onions, garlic, rice, corn, peas, lentils, beans, sugar, wheat, flour, lard, butter and all kinds of vegetables, and grains and gardent stuffs imported in their "natural state and without any preparation whatever.

Every element of encouragement for the annual exhibitions has marked the course of this one. the second given under the auspices of the club. The exhibition has fully subserved the purposes of its creation. All that is best in California arts and crafts was shown for the purposes of examination and comparison, and aside from providing a great 1-oon to artists and artisans During the past winter the retail price of ccal was so high that the Government was appealed to for a reduction of the duties on foreign coal, but this was not granted. However, says Consul Bruner, should the domestic supply be further curtailed and prices advanced by reason of another strike, it is not improbable that, upon the renewal' of demands, the Government will take measures to facilitate the importation ot coal by a reduction of duties and railway freight rates.

There is a likelihood, too, that other trades will join thq strike, says Consul Bruner, for iron workers, furnace men and machinists realize that the scarcity cf fuel caused by a strike of miners would also throw them out of employment. The silk and velvet ribbon weavers are discussing the propriety of striking at the same time. WASHINGTON, A strike by the coal miners of France, planned to be general and to include all the miners in the country, is scheduled to take place about the end of the coming June unless terms are agreed upon before the date. Thi3 latter eventuality is not expected, according to United States Consul Bruner at St. Etienne in a report to the State Department.

WASHINGTON, April Henry White, secretary of the United States at London, was introduced to the President to-day before the Cabinet meeting by Secretary Hay. White Is here on his annual visit to this country and will return to England next month. He has taken a great interest in the case of Mrs. Maybrick.

"The worst thing that could happen for Mrs Maybrick," said he, "is for some one to resume the agitation of her case in this country. Her eventual freedom has been delayed by the agitation over her. The revival of the talk has led to abusive letters being sent to the English authorities by people in this country. Even Queen Victoria was the recipient of several letters from enthusiasts in Mrs. Maybrick's cause.

I have been working on the case ever since Mrs. Maybrick was sent to prison and at every opportunity to do something for the unfortunate woman, I have exerted myself with every Home Secretary in the British have no means of knowing what King Edward will do, but I do not believe he will interfere in the case The late Queen made a strict rule to have nothing to do with capital cases. Mrs. Maybrick is in the Aylesbury prison and is kindly treated. I hear indirectly froin her twice a week.
