fiS FIFTYfOUR KILLED Appalling Disaster on Southern Railroad AN INEXCUSABLE ACCIDENT Read-on Collision the Direct Result of tilsreffardlnK tlm Implicit Train Dlspnteher's Orders Running on a roadbod In a supposed ly high condition of maintenance and having about thom ovory safeguard known to a modern railroad, two trains on tho Southern railway, carry ing hoary lists of passengers catno to gether In a frightful head-on collision near Hodges, Tenn., Bonding fifty-four persons to death nnd Injuring 120, sov cral of whom will probably, dlo. TIiIh appalling loss of llfo and maim ing of tho living, resulted apparently from tho dlsrcgnHlltig of orderH given to tho two traltin to meet nt a station which has for a long tlrno boon their regular meeting point. This action on tho part of tho en gineer of tho westbound train Is mndo more- Incspllcablo by tho fact that tho accident happened In hroad daylight, and according to tho best Information obtainable, he had tho ordor In a Ilttlo frame In front of him as his monstei of Iron and fitoel rushed by tho station and a mile nnd a half further on came full upon an enstbound passenger train. Tho possibility oxIhib that the Ill-fated engineer mny havo been asleep. Tho trains woro on time and not making over thlrty-flvo miles nn hour, yet the impact as they rounded a curve nnd ramo suddenly upon each other was frlghtrul. Iloth engines and tho major portions of both trains woro demolished, nnd why tho ordors woro disregarded or misinterpreted will probably never he known, ns tho engineers of tho two trains woro crushed, their bodies re maining for hours undor tho wreckngo of their locomotives.

OMAHA WINS PENNANT They Defeat Ht. fne In Two Uamea on Home (IrciuniU ' Tho western league season closed with games at Omaha, Sioux City and , Dos Moines. Omaha won two game ( at homo. Denver and Sioux City split . on a doublo header and Dos Moines took ono from Colorado Springs. This j result gavo Omaha a clear margin for tho pennant, and, although there has been no official announcement to that offect, It Is expected President Sexton will mako tho award to Omaha at once, Tho pennant raco for the past month has boon between Omaha, Donvcr and Colorado Springs, A few woeks ago tho Omaha team was sovonty-flvo points behind In tho percentage col- umn, but recent successive winnings placed thom in their present position. Out of tho last soventcen games they lost hut ono. This winning streak has clearly been tho result of heavy bat ting, although the pitching staff lias been tho host that tho Omaha team has ever had. Fow games havo been played for tho post flvo weeks when tho Omaha men did not bat hard enough to win nny ordinary gamo, while PltcherB I'folstcr, Drown, Sanders and Quick havo Invariably held their opponents safely.

China Looking Attend It Is not probable that tho mission to tho southern provinces of China fot mo purpose or raising money upon which Tie Hang, a Pokln ofllclal. Is now engaged, Is In any wny connected with hostilities toward foreigners In China or a renewal of the boxer trou bles. The urgent need of Pokln for money for army reform and Improve ments Is duo, firstly, to hor deslro to possess a sullklent force to garrison and defend Manchuria should Japan restore thin territory to her; nnd, sec oudly, to a possible proposal for the partition of China when the present war Is over. China Is apprehensive of tho cessation of hostilities.

The new policy will give an equal chance to all to locate upon them and prevent any undue advantngo being given to per sons living In proximity to them and having knowledge that they would bo restored to the public domain. United Ntates Suspicions Because It Is believed, that forolgn governments aro learning entirely too much regarding tho Inside workings of tho American navy and aro picking from the annual reports of tho bureau chiefs too much information which should bo of a confidential character, a chango will bo mndo this year in tho preparation of tho annual reports and much that hitherto has been included in these reports will bo omitted.

Of courso tho officials would like to seo tho money remain in tho islands, but It U prepared to accept a decision either way on that point. It is supposod to bo tho purpose of tho Vatican authorities, In stipulating for tho payment of the money In Ma nila to endeavor to mako sure that in that way it was returned to the Catho lic congregations who originally pro vided the means for acquiring the land. Tho friars, on tho other hand, having practically finished their work In tho Islands, aro supposed to bo naturally desirous of carrying tho monoy realized from tho land sales Into their new Held of activities. So tho war department has arranged to havo this particular sum of two million dollars Involved In tho transaction with tho Augustlnluu. placed to the credit of tho treasurer of tho Philippine Islands In the Bank of England and ho will Issue his war rant for the amount, which will bo good in cither London or Manila.

Con gress, during the last session, made provision for the transmission In the malls of quantities of not less than two thousand Identical pieces of this char acter of mail and the present order it I In pursuanco of that act. The secretary of war has authorized tho extension from eighteen months to two years of the period of time for tho presentation of claims for draw back on duties on hemp paid by Amor lean manufacturers and importers, it having been found that owing to the remoteness of the Philippines, the first time allowed was frequently too short to effect a settlement of the claims.

GILLETT WINS OUT lias Phenomenal Success In Mexican Mining; Kuterprlses Grant Gillette, tho ex-Kunsae cattle plunger, who has been mining in Mexi co Blnco his sensational flight from Kansas, seems to havo snatched suc cess from a defeat that was apparently left him when Dr. Flower fled from tho Indictments in New York and left the Pan-American Smelting and Re fining company. Gillotto has been to New York and organized a now company with f 300, 000 gold capitalization, from among seven or eight of tho principal stock holders of tho Pan-American company, including the vonerablo Mrs. Amelia Storrs, who put bo much monoy Into Flower'fl schemes. Gillotto got some of thoso stockholders Into a plan to havo ton of them, Including himself, put up $30,000 each. It seems that about eight of them came togothor on this total amount of $300,000 gold and sub scribed for the bulk of tho stock.
