27. An extra train consisting of seven coaches and twenty full stock cars conveying the Seventh cavalry, their horses and three batteries of artillery, which passed through this city at 3:30 yesterday afternoon on its way to Fort Riley from the Pine Ridge agency collided with a passenger train bound north on the Union Pacific railway at a point near Irving, sixteen miles south of here, with great loss of life. The coaches composing both trains were derailed, but facts are meager as the railway officials are not giving out information. Physicians, from this city, Fort Riley, Frankfort and Concordia have been or dered to the scene of the wreck. It is said the engineer of the train bearing the soldiers ran upon the time of the passenger train going north with out orders.

MEAGER DETAILS AT ST. JOSEPH. St. Joseph, Jan. 27.

Meager particulars regarding the fatal collision one mile north of Irving, on the Manhattan Blue Valley division of the Union Pacific railroad were received here last night. An extra train, drawn by two en gines, consisting of seven coaches filled with the soldiers of the Seventh caval ry, and twenty-five stock cars containing their horses and three batteries of artillery, bound from Pine Ridge to Fort Riley, collided with a northbound passenger. All of the coaches went into the ditch and two soldiers were instantly killed and twelve injured, six of them fatally. The train men escaped by jumping. The cause of the accident was the running of the cavalry train on the time of the north-bound passenger.

Superintendent Brinkerhoff, of Kan sas City, was here when the news of the accident arrived and left at once on a pecial train for the wreck, taking phys cians with him. The names of the killed and injured could not be learned. GRAVE REPORTS AT Manhattan, Jan. 27.

The other feature of the story is that Hansbrough was required to submit his views in writing to the Democratic caucus before that bodv would pledge its support.

He submitted four separate letters. Three were returned unacceptable, while the fourth was accepted as satisfactory. The views akked for were with reference to the tariff.the elections bill and prohibition. It is claimed that Mr. Hansbrough so modified all previously expressed opinions and altered his attitude on the tariff and elections bill that his candidacy became acceptable to the Democracy.
