The assurance of an International money
confcronco has created n decided sensation
in eastern financial circles , It Is considered
the crowning diplomatic success of President
Harrison's administration , and while the
president has declined to furnish congress
nny particulars nt present , thn facts are as
follows : President Harrison Is convinced
that nothing -but international consent can
maintain n fixed coinage ratio or materially
help the present silver situation. Ho has
boon working quietly for more than two
years to secure this resnlt. Secretary Fos
ter's late trip to Europe hnd this end chlolly
In view. Today France , England , Austria ,
Hungary and Italy have ncceplod Invitations
to n bimetallic conference which will be held
in London or Paris about July 1.
The administration Is vcrv hopeful that
beneficial results will Mow from this ( rather-
ing of financiers nnd statesmen. The de
mands of English merchants dealing with
India , thi t Bomo remedy bo applied to stop
the steady decline In 1 nil la bills of exchange ,
lias induced Mr. Goschcn nnd Mr. Bulfour to
enter the conference with n view to discuss
ing plans for nn increased use of silver ns n
money metal. 1'lii'ro is atroni * pressure
towards bimetallism in England , franco nnd
Italy , but all financiers abroad agree thnt no
country by Its solitary action can relieve Iho
present situation.
Mr. Cleveland's administration made nn
abortive attempt to sound publjc sonlimont
abroad on the subject. Mr. Harrison has nl-
roadv accomplished thnt in which bis prede
cessor fulled.
Not PleiiHFti with West I'olnt.
West Point cducntlonnl methods nro likely
to receive nn olllcial overhauling , throuch
the disclosures of nn Omaha boy , n son of
ux-Mnyor Broatch. Young Broatch is n
former West Point cadet "ind is now re
cuperating nt Miodloton , Conn. , it is alleged ,
from hazing thnt ho locelvod nt the military
ncncicm.v nt West Point. Hroatch was a
member of the fourth or "plcba" class , in
whicti ho took hl h rank , He graduated
Irom Yale in the class of ' 01 , where he wns
tno moil prominent literary man in his clnss.
At Weal Point Broatch came into collision
\vitb men of thu third class , because of Ins
refusal to brook the insults hoipcd by them
upon the "plnbes. " Upon ono occasion ho had
n fistic encounter with ono of them whieli
resulted In both contestants ucing hud up
for Iwo weeks.
Atlnsl , finding life llmro unbearable , ho
resigned Ins cadolshlp. Upon Iho first ten
der of his resignation it was refused by tlio
secretary of wnron nccountofMr. Broatch's
hlpti standing , but was afterwards ncccptcd
nt his urgent request. Brontch says that
the system of hazing practiced there is in-
lifiitoly worse than anything In vogue In nny
American college. Men who hnvo suflured
u und felt the injustice of It have refrained
from holding it up to public reprobation , bo-
cnuso to do so would moan ostracism at the
academy.
Broatch tells of a classmate ivho , though
Buffering from a physical defect was forced
to light time after lima und compelled lo run
sueli a gnunllet of barbarous cruelty thnt bu
resigned at the end of six mouths u mental
and pliysiclul wreck.
Bills in which Nobrnskn Is Interested con
tinue to accumulate on the house side with
no ono competent or interested enough in tlrj
stnto to look after them. In nil the history
of the stnto it bns never hnd such u wretched
representation In the lower house or such
paltry results from the ilong session. Tno
approach of the political cnmpalcn which
will follow Immediately after the appropria
tion bills are out of the way will make the
preservation of n quorum In the house ex
ceedingly dlfilcult nnd prevent the passage
of any measure ngninst which the point is
raised. The prospect for any of Iho Ne-
brahkn hilU becoming u law at. the present
session is therefore not promising.
If there IB nny captain In iho army who has
not sent in his name as an applicant for the
forthcoming position In tlio adjutant gotior-
. nl's corpj ho should do so at once. There are
00 applicants on file with ethers coming in.
Among these btrongly endorsed is Captain
J. S. Loud , Ninth cavalry , now stntionod in
Nebrnsiin. General opinion has It that Cap
tain Hall of the Fifth cavalry has the inside
road. Ho is n son-in-lnw of Scuntor Black
burn nnd has Secretary Elkln's endorsement.

pressed to it llnal votn ns speedily ns possible.
In the very nature of Its composition , consul-

In unsafe to prcdiel how long a lime will bu

Either the postufllco or the fortification ap

CLUVIU.AXD , O. , May 15. A special to the
Plaindoalor from Cloves , O. , says : In the
midst of a terrific storm ot wind and rain
two Big Four trains crashed into each other
near Cloves , this morning , with awful effect ,
the full horrors of which are not yet known.
This morning the summer schedule want
Into effect and orders baa been issued ac
cordingly. Freight No. 43 , a through train ,
northbound , had orders to stop , at North
Bond to allow express No. SO , a Cannon Hall
special , to pass. Under the old schedule the
trains passed at another point some miles
further on.
Instead of stopping the freight the engi
neer pulled ahead and approached Cloves
runutnc about twenty miles an hour. Why
ho did not stop at North Bond will never bo
known as ho is dead , but It is thought that
iu his anxiety over the storm , which might
have washed out the bridge , ho forgot the
new schedule and hurried on.
Could Not Sto | > till ) Train.
As the train approached Cloves , Charles
Smith , the telegraph operator , was shocked
for b.o know It should have side-tracked at
North Beud and that the express , n. few
minutes over duo then , was but n short dis
tance away running forty-miles nn hour to
make up lost time. Smith rushed to the
sipnnl wires and dashed out danger signals.
Either they were not scon in the blinding
rain or the engineer could not control his
engine , for It sped on without lessoning its
speed. At that very moment the express
cama into sight with tno speed of the wind.
If any effort were made on cither engine ,
to slack up no appreciable reduction , of speed
was noticed aud 'the iron monsters sped on.
Both engines wore batloiod into shapeless
masses nnd rolled oft the track.
The cars behind were smashed into kind
ling wood nnd the track for 100 foot was torn
up. Telegraph poles were thrown down and
it was two or three hours after the \vreck
before word reached this place , and a special
train was sent to the scene from Cincinnati
Loop before , however , tno neoplo from the
the little villages surrounding had gathered
iu the friglitful storm.

The freight train was going west and the
passenger train was tbo accommodation train
coming to Cincinnati from Lawrcncoburp
with about thirty passengers. These were
gathered up from Harrison , Aurora , Law-

The collision occurred at a bond in the

Several passengers on the express nro pos

H Is certain thov nro ml.Mne , but they

Owing to the distance from the city nnd the
prostration or telegraph wires , by the acci

details have been very slow In coming In.
The property loss ! s very sovcro nnd will
bo $100,000. Both engines nro completely

At the Scene of the \VrccU.
At the scene of the wreck the road was
lined with cottacos. A woman in one of the
cottages says she saw the trains , but board
no warning. Another wltuois says ono short ,
wild shriek of the whistle of ono train preceded -
coded tlio crash. Then the trains plunged
Into each ether and tumbled down together
by the side of the trade and the passengers
and tha cars were mastiod up in confusion.
A lire started. A messenger ran to Cloves.
The fire bell rang. 1'coplo rusnod to tbo
scene nnd provontoj the wreck from burning

The wounded were removed to Cloves
under the cnro of Dr. Hughes of that plnco.
Dr. Muscroft of Cincinnati was soon thorn
with two aids , and gave the best care pos
sible to the injured. There were few of the
usual accompaniments of a wreck nt the
scene as there wcro but fo.v loft on those
fated trains to utter cries of distress , and
those who escaped injury were too much
dazed to make nn outcry. The relief was
very prompt and everything possible for the
relief of the wounded was done quickly.
