LIST OF THE VICTIMS. JACKSON, Mich., Oct. 12—A terrible Wreck occurred this morning about 9 o'clock 100 yards east of the passenger @epot in this city. Hacks and undertakers’ wagons are rapidly taking away the dead and wounded. An excursion train from the east was Standing at the depot when another ex- cursion train pulled in. The engineer lost control of his air brake and could not stop his train and it rushed at the rate of 40 miles an hour into the train ahead, plowing under it and throwing the cars in all directions. Nine cars join in the ruin and the engine is smashed. Later.—It is now said that six dead bod- fes have been recovered from the wreck. Many are injured. The cars are terribly smashed, two of them being thrown across the track. One car was driven completely through another and others were turned entirely over. Thousands of people were aboard the two trains and they were wedged in in all kinds of shapes. Some of the cars were badly enough wrecked to kill all the people on board them. Considering the shape the cars were in it is remarkable that any all escaped without injury in some of the cars. Dead and Injured. identified: Dead—Mra. Lloyd Woodbury of Bath, N. ¥., James Woodbury, Bath, N. Y.; Mrs. Woodbury’s father-in-law; Mrs. Bardslee, Scranton, Pa; Maggie McWatson, aged twenty, Pennyran, N. Y.; Miss Harriet Breece, Pine City, N. Y.: Sisue Headley, Warrior Run, Luzerne county, Pa., near Scranton. Injured—Mrs. Susie Black, badly injured about head; Mrs. C. W. Fay, Miss Laura Fay, all of Elmira, N. Y., all badly injured; Miss Blanche Burdslee, Scranton, Pa., is im @ precarious condition; Mr. I. N. Burds- ee, Scranton, Pa; Mrs. J. H. Gardner, Horseheads, N. Y.; not badiy; Mrs. Allen Harris, Troy, Pa., two ribs broken and bruised; Frank Ferley, Columbia Cross- roads, Pa., alightly; Mrs. J. A.B. Arling- ham, Springfield, N. ¥., arm and shoulder fractured. ‘The dead and injured have been removed and are now lying at the hotels. So far it is known that thirty-four per- sons were injured, many of them, it is feared, fatally. The number of dead ts now placed at nineteen. ‘The first section of the excursion train was called the “Oswego” and the last sec- tion the “Webb” special. F. J. Reed, conductor of the Oswego spe- cial, has sent the following dispatch to the officers of the road in Detroit: ~ “I was stopping at Jackson for breakfast and had just started when the “Webb” ‘special, going west, struck my train in the rear part and broke three coaches. I cannot ascertain how many were injured. My train was protected in the Jackson yard by the semaphore.” Engineer William Whalen, who lives at Jackson, was running the last section. He say! “I saw the signal in the yard to keep back, and had my engine in hand as I thought, but when I came down near the train, which was still, my air brake would not work, and [ ran into the coaches, The failure of the air made it impossible to stop. I never had such an experience be- fore Whalen is badly burned. One of his legs is broken, but he will live. No less than nine specials had already passed through Jackson going west this morning in addition to the regular trains. The Air Brake Failed. DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 13.—The superin- tendent of the Michigan Central here says that ten dead bodies have been recovered so far and the number of injured has not yet been reported. The trains were Delaware and Lackawanna day coach excursion specials. The first section had stop to let the passengers take breakfast. It had been standing at the depot twenty-six min- ing into ik. The signal tecep oa we e signal sema ail right, but the engineer claims thet his air brake would not work and he was pow- erless to avoid the accident. ae —_——__. End of the Argentine Revolt.

The Rule of the Minority Has Been Shown Again in the Senate, ‘The adjournment of the Senate this morn- ing ts held to mark the time when the per- sonal wishes of the President ceased to be the chief consideration in the treatment of the sitver question. There gre, of course, @ number of Senators who will continue to be the personal representatives of Mr. Cleveland in this fight, and who will not favor any course of which he does not ap- prove. A very large proportion, however, of those Senators who have been support- ing the administration and have stood out against any deviation from the lines laid down by Mr. Cleveland feel that they are absolved from further obligation to follow this course, and they are now trying to settle the question in a manner different from that tried by Mr. Voorhees. The general wish, of course, is among democrats to adopt a compromise which may receive the approval of Mr. Cleveland when sent to him, but he is not being con- sulted beforehand as to the character of such compromise. The repeal men are, of course, keeping up the show of continuing the fight, but, of course, there is nothing to that. “At the opening of the session at 11 o’clcck this morning proceedings were con- tinued just as they had been before the night session began, and Mr. Voorhees re- fuses to make any open confession that the fate of unconditional repeal is sealed, yet the fact that the bill is dead is aswell demon- strated as {t would be if defeated by an ac- tual majority vote. The domination of the minority has once more been declared, and the Senate of today is the same old help- Jess body it was to start with. Compromise Talk. Meanwhile the Senators who are working for a compromise feel that they are very near an agreement, in fact those Senators to whose charge the question of compromise has been referred by the several elements have agreed among themselves practically on the Harris proposition, and it remains for them to submit it to the other Senators of the several factions to determine whether they can get a majority report. There will be some change in the proposition from the form in which it appears as offered by Mr. Harris. It is uncertain whether there will be any reference to bonds in it, but it is almost certain not to carry any provision authorizing a bond issue. It is the hope of those who are trying to accomplish the compromise that they may dispose of it this evening or tomorrow. Whether they can accomplish this remains to be seen, but the indications are that the debate will run over to next week, if not longer. It is said that the silver republicans and populists will vote for the Harris proposition, but a new element of doubt is now thrown in to embarrass the situation. The intimation is very broadly made that the republicans, having supported the ad- ministration in the attempt at uncondi- tional repeal, may take a hand in stopping things before the game has been brought to @ finish. The intimation is given that they will make a very earnest and de- termined fight against any compromise that {s proposed. This presents a possibility of more delay in disposing of the question than is generally expected, but since any compromise offered will come in the form of amendments it would not be easy to filibuster to prevent a vote on it without involving a filibuster against the whole subject of repeal. It is said that the com- promise which will be adopted will be in @ line with any ordinary interpretation of Mr. Cleveland's message convening Con- though it may not accord with his wishes. Mr. Cleveland is quoted again this morn- ing by @ prominent man as asserting that he will not sign any romise which provides for the continued purchase of silver for a time extending beyond his term. ‘The Treasury Department is running very short of money, and it is extremely probable that a bond issue will finally have to be resorted to under the authority of existing: law to keep up the reserve, re- gardless of what may be done by Congress. ‘The most probable outlook is @ speedy compromise. The House Attita: Now that compromise on the silver ques- tion is talked of as a probable result of the deliberations of the Senate upon the subject interest has been renewed in the House as to the kind of a measure that will receive the sanction of that body. Mr. Raynor, one of the steering commit- tee of the repealers in t over the Wilson bill, said: that the Senate is likely to send to the House can be passed here, in my opinion.’ “The House will not consent to unlimited purchase of silver or the coinage thereof. If the Senate were satisfied with the coin- age of the bullton now on hand and pur- chase up to a reasonable amount, that might be accepted, but the probabilities seem to be against such a moderate meas- Mr. Catchings of the committee on rules, also a “repealer,” said that {n his opinion the situation was plainly in the hands of the re- publicans. “If they vote solklly upon the subject they can determine it either way. It is not a political question, but politics will creep in, and that consideration may rule. If the republicans would stand firm for the repeal of the Sherman law I think they could bring the Senate to terms. It all depends on them.” Mr. Burrows said that the attitude of the republicans toward compromise would de- pend upon the nature of the measure. “If {t proposes an Issue of bonds I do not be- Heve it will meet the approval of the House. The idea of borrowing money in time of peace is not a popular nor a proper one. It seems incredible that while the sdminis- tration is actively engaged in an effort to reduce the tariff they should expect Con- gress to borrow money to meet ex- penses.” VALKYRIE LEADING. Another Contest for the America’s Cup. RACE 10 WINDWARD AND BACK. Wind Blowing Hard From the East at the Start. ACCIDENT TO THE VALKYRIE. SANDY HOOK, N. J., Oct. 13—It was quite foggy early this morning and a heavy mist was falling, which made men turn up their coat collars to protect their throats from the cold damp air. ‘The fifteen mile to windward and return race between the American sloop Vigilant and the British cutter Valkyrie, which ended Wednesday in a fluke, after the boats hsd covered more than half the course, was to be resailed today. Super- stitious old shell backs along the beach Pointed out this morning the ill omens of the day for a race or any other venture. It was not only a Friday, an unlucky dey in their calendars, but the 13th of the month as well. This combination made the grizzled seadogs wag their heads in an exceedingly wise manner as they pre- dicted that something was bound to hap- pen before the day was done. Those per- sons who laugh at superstitious fancies and make the wish father to the thought were firm im their belief that the “some- thing” that was to happen in this par- tiewar case was another defeat of the Valkyrie, and the final victory of the saucy white sloop that, “blow high or blow low,” has fulfilled the hopes of every American in the land. Prepared for Anything. Mr. Herreshoff, designer of the Vigilant, when told last night that a hurricane was coming up from the south and was due here today, said: “We are prepared for an: thing. The Valkyrie people have been ask. ing for @ stiff breeze and I hope they will be accommodated. We'll be there all right.” The Vigilant and her antagonist, Val- kyrie, lay off Bay Ridge yesterday getting into readiness for today’s race. Little was done on the white sloop beyond tight- ening shrouds and readjusting pulley blocks, but on the Valkyrie a change was made which Lord Dunraven thinks will make her a better foe for the Vigilant than she has been. An extra ton of lead ballast was placed in her hold amidships. ‘This made her set lower in the water and increased her load water line. Her owner stated, in an interview, that her water line had been made nearly one foot shorter than when she raced in British waters, and made a phenomenal record among British boats. Lord Dunraven ar- rived at the conclusion that he had lighten- ed the boat too much, and he therefore de- cided to put in more ballast before another race takes place. After the additional ballast had been put aboard and made fast, the Valkyrie was towed to Erie basin, where Official Measur- er Hyslop ran his steel tape over her and furnished the racing committee with the new measurement. The increased length of waterline cuts down the time allowance which the boat received from the Vigilant from one minute forty-eight seconds to one minute thirty-three seconds. It is expected that the loss of fifteen seconds in time al- lcwance will be more than compensated for by the improved suiling ability of the yacht. After being measured she was towed back to her anchorage ground at Bay Ridge. Qaite a Sea. In the upper bay and on the rivers ad- Jacent to New York city this morning quite & sea was kicking up and a good breeze from the east was carrying the smoke and steam from the funnels of steam craft rap- idly to the westwatd. Skippers said the barometer was falling and that the storm which the weather sharps have sighted coming this way from the West Indles would reach here some time. today. Old barnacies shook their heads wisely, though somewhat fearfully, and said that the time was not far off. They thought the storm would break before noon, and that it would blow great guns. This was, how- ever, what everybody had been wishing for and yachtsmen were delighted with the Prospects. The Britisher’s scheme of putting a ton of lead in his bow was variously commented upon. Many persons were of the opinion that the boat would gain more in speed than she lost of her time allowance, while the sarcastic ones asked what difference it made to @ boat that was beaten ten minutes to take fifteen seconds off of her allowance. At any rate the New York Yacht Club and especially the owners of the Vigilant show & commendable spirit of generosity in al- lowing the Englishman to make a change. It {8 a well-known rule in yachting circles that @ yacht cannot make any changes in her rig during a club course or races. + Om Board the Racers. ‘When the United Press tugs had got well down the narrows this morning Valkyrie, in tow of the tug Pulver, was seen standing into Gravesend bay. Her crew were Just hoisting her mainsail in their peculiar Kn- glish fashion, Far down the bay the Yan= kee cup defender could be seen, also in tow. As usual, she had been the first to leave the anchorage grounds off Bay Ridge. she already had up her mainsail, and at the time she was first sighted her crew were Just putting up her working jib, prepara- tory, as it developed a little later, to sailing out to the Sandy Hook lightship. She stood well into the Horse Shoe for a few minutes longer and then threw off her towing line, put down her helm to port and stood out to sea. She stood up to the strong breeze in fine style and trotted along at a great rate. The Valkyrie as she passed Sandy Hook bound for the lightship was still in tow, but in addition to her mainsail she had set her working jib, und it looked as if she might cut loose from the tug at any mo- ment and stand out to sea under her own sail. The wind at this time was breezing up perceptibly. A large fleet of sailing craft was standing in and out of the har- bor, their sails bellied out like huge bal- loons and their pulls keeled over consider- ably from the strength of the wind and the rapidity with which they were being driven through the water. A pleasing incident happened just as Valkyrie was standing out at the Hook. Pilot boat No. 19, the Mary Williams, her sails drawing to their full power and sending her graceful hull swiftly through the water, passed Valkyrie here, bound in. As she dla so she fired a salute from her cannon and dipped her colors, and the Englishman gracefully re- plied to the salute. Accident to the Valkyrie. ‘The wind was blowing fresh from the east when the Vigilant and Valkyrie left their anchorage off Bay Ridge and two of their tugs started down the bay. The Vigilant ran up her mainsail. Then she was towed down through the Swash channel. ‘When off Sandy Hook there were signs of trouble aloft. Capt. Cranfield and half a dozen men went up and pretty soon the tug was ordered to head up in the wind and the mainsail was lowered. The throat halyard block had split under the tremendous strain. It was taken down and the ship's carpenter bored several holes in it and put in screws to prevent it from giving way altogether. It was repaired at 10:45. While this was being done the jib, which had been broken out before the accident, was lowered and preparations to run up a smaller one was made. The skippers of the tug boats sald that the barometer was fall- ing all the time, and the indications were that it would blow great guns before the race was finished. ‘The Vigilant took a line from her tug a few miles inside of the lightship, and at 10:30 took a reef in her mainsail. She also took in her jib and got a smaller one ready. ‘There was a good sea on, and the smaller excusion boats and steam yachts did not put in an appearance at the lightship. The wind held strong from the east. The wind was blowing with increasing strength all the morning from the east until it reached the very satisfactory rate sea, The sailing vessels, with their can- vas all spread and filled, kept well in com- pany with their more favored coal burners. Too Breesy for Excursionists. The St. Johns, carrying the yacht club guests, was as usual early on the ground, but her decks did not carry the customary throng, and many evidently sought the comfort that the cabin grants. The falling off in the number of excursionists was quite perceptible,yet there were still enough to make a big showing and to indicate the prevailing enthusiasm. Ever since the Vigilant cast off her tug inside the Horse- shoe she maneuvered about under mainsail and jib off the lightship. ‘The Valkyrie, after getting outside, drop- ped her sails and for some time had men aloft adjusting things preparatory to a start. The judges’ boat May, as she passed out, displayed the signal indicating the course to be fifteen milés to windward and return. At 11 o'clock the indications point- ed to most favorable conditions for what would probably prove the last of a contest for supremacy that has excited the interest and admiration of the whole world. Lord Dunraven has what he prayed for and what may cause him to haul in his top- sails before the course ts run. ‘The Start. ‘There was considerable delay in starting the race. The excursion boats were blamed for the delay. The wind was east, twenty- eight miles an hour, and it was therefore known that the course would be east. The Preliminary signal was firei at 11:15, but the boats did not start in ten minutes, After the blue Peter was set at 12:15 both yachts reached down by the with the wind on their port sides until & mile south of the lightsh! atory gun was then stood back for the line Jockeying for windward Both yachts went over on the starboard tack, wit Ten up mainsail and jib and dropped her tug off Sandy Hook. She sailed on out to- ward the lightship. The Valkyrie had her tug take her in Gravesend bay, where she windward. Both stood up well, Valkyrie was apparently getting frequent knock downs, and had to luff up to keep steady. Vigilant looked to be getting smaller here, and this was taken as an in- Gication that she was well in the lead. Valkyrie still held the weather gauge. Vigilant about an eighth of a mile in lead was reported from Rockaway at 1 P. m. Both boats sailing with lee rails under water. Valkyrie seemed to be a bit stiffer. At 1:05 yachts were off Long Beach and sailing very rapidly, still on starboard tack. Vigilant at 1:15 went about port tack. Valkyrie was still on starboard tack. Valkyrie in the Lead. At 1:30 the Valkyrie, which had been creeping up on the Vigilant, took the lead and in twenty minutes had made a gap of 200 yards, ‘The Valkyrie was, at 2:20, still leading the Vigilant by a good distance. They were then nearing the turn.

That Would Be the Result of India’s Import Daty. Information has been received at the Treasury Department to the effect that it is probable that India will impose an import duty on silver. It comes from an agent of the Treasury Department in Eu- rope whose identity is concealed. In case India takes the action indicated it will have a most important bearing on the sil- ver situation in this country. According to @ prominent treasury official the imposi- tion of duty on silver imported into India will advance the price of the silver now in that country and bring into circulation the gold hoardings. effect of such ac- tion in this country, he said, would be to reduce still more the market value of American silver, as with India out of the market the United States would be prac- tically the only purchaser of silver among the nations of the world. No corroboration of the report has been received at the de- Perimat, and it remains to be seen whether ndia will take the action indicated as a probability. a Naval Movements.

How the Silver Men Have Provided a Safe Retreat. THE UNFINISHED SPEECHES. “House bill No. 1.” for the repeal of the silver purchasing section of the act of July 14, 189 (known as the Sherman law), as amended in the committee of finance of the Senate by the adoption in that com- mittee of the Voorhees substitute, resumes its place as the “unfinished business” in the ordinary daily routine of the Senate cham- ber. It will continue to occupy that position unless displaced by some other pressing measure until some conculsion is reached on the question by compromise or other- wise. It is in the power of the Senate at any time by taking up another bill after the “unfinished business” is laid be- fore the Senate to shelve the silver bill. ‘This can be done without even the for- mality of a vote by tacitly taking up an- other bill for consideration without insert- ing the saving clause that House bill No. 1 shall be “temporarily laid aside.” It is not likely, however, that the vigilant friends of repeal will permit the measure to be shelved by indirection in this way. A for- mal Vote to proceed to the consideration of some other measure would bring about a the friends and opponents of repeal, and this is just what the silver men in their six long weeks of labored discussion have deliberately and of purpose avoided by all the resources of parliamentary ingenuity, in which they have shown themselves such consummate masters. There was s sta in the proceedings when it seem that @ motion to take up from the presid- ing officer's table the House bill repealing the federal election laws might be upon the Senate as a method of getting rid of the repeal bill and might receive the support of the silver men in the strong contingent of democrats naturally would be counted to its This period, however, seems to have ‘The silver men being challenged to a of endurance have met that challenge Proved themselves able to outtalk and sit their opponents.

In dispassionately viewing the situation onlookers will not fail to notice that not one of the silver men who has spoken thus far has closed his spgech. Mr. Stewart has the floor to continue his “remarks on this new and interesting subject,” as Mr. Hill put it just before adjournment this morning. Messrs. Teller, Martin, Kyle, Peffer, Wol- cott and Dubois each indicated before tem- Porarily yielding the floor that he would Probably desire to resume his remarks at some future and more convenient time. Even Mr. Allen, at the close of his fifteen hours’ speech, said something about embrac- ing the opportunity to add a few words an- other day. The precautions thus taken were adopted with the deliberate purpose of avoiding the effect of an old Senate that no Senator should speak more once on the same subject. It is a mooted Question whether the rule ts still in force, but the silver men have acted on sumption that it might be invoked and have shielded themselves against it by leaving their speeches nominally uncompleted. In addition to the Senators who can take the floor to continue their remarks they have in reserve Senator Jones of Nevada, who has not yet spoken at all on this matter and who always commands a hearing, because he never speaks without saying something worth listening to, and Senator Morgan of Alabama, who has been their reserve guard. ‘Mr. Morgan has thrown tn a few remarks, but has indicated that these were purely preliminary and that he had seven chapters to follow, in which he would dis- cuss the question in its historical, consti- tutional, economical and sociological as- pects. From this survey of the field and of the resources of the anti-repealers the infer- ence is derived that a conference of some kind is the only possible outcome. Compromise Propositions. There are a number of propositions of compromise legislation before the Senate. Mr. Blackburn has one which does not in- clude any bond issue, and which, it has been broadly intimated, might be acceptable to the executive after all efforts at uncon- ditional repeal had failed. Mr. Faulkner has another proposition. which contemplates the maintenance by the United States of a total circulation of eight hundred millions of silver (an amount about equal to that maintained by France). This proposed measure has been met wi considerable favor. Mr. Harris offered a compromise last night, Mr. Morgan, Mr. Jones of Arkansas and Mr. Butler of South Carolina have each suggested some middle ground and Mr. White of California has in- timated that he had a ition in view, but he has not yet formulated it in words. MR. VOORHEES WILL STICK. To Keep at It as Long as the Majority Stands by Him—The Silver Men. The silver leaders were first on the field of battle this morning, smiling and happy. Mr. Stewart was about the earliest bird, having come soon in the apparent hope of catching the oratorical worm, for he was laden with a huge bundle of books and Papers as ammunition for a second bom- bardment of talk if necessary. Mr. Teller was on hand soon afterwards and went about giving instructions to his Meuten- ants. Senator Voorhees entered the chamber Just before 11 o'clock and was greeted by @ page, who shook hands with him. The repeal leader seemed weary signs ¢f fatiguing labors. He, however, looked fresh and strong by comparison with his condition yesterday. He had ap- perently plucked up heart and was calm but cheerful. To a reporter of the United Press he said that he knew of no surren- der. He intended to call up House bill No. 1 again today and proceed with its con- nd how jong will that last?” py Just a8 long as the majority will stand me.” Then Mr. Voorhees spoke of the singular spectacle presented by the Senate “di like a battered and rudderiess hulk” prac- tically without rules for the transaction of business or with such rules as were worse than useless, as was shown by that one man could obstruct business indef- nitely. This referred to the rule so liberally used yesterday, by which one man can have the roll called almost continuously in the quest for a quorum which may His aid t- ee i tf be received up to noon of the Gay ©f publication, precedence being Given to those first received. they propose to resort to on bustering tactics and try to force a conclu- May Sit Late Tonight. | i H me : i He g iy | i Fee sMlLtdi 5 i aH ff el Hl ic 2 8 g . g 5 i fete, : of i & 8 | li j i a : i BE iH te Fe Es | f HI i 8 & 5 ‘by them aq 2 7 i 328) |: f i i i it i i ; i l i | i : i : ! i i 3 i if § g a : ; li i ® & Py i cecesen! 8 if i Silver Men Consulting.
