June 2:.—The pas- senger train n the Macon branch of the Southern R: , which ran into a washout one and a half miles north of McDonough, G last night. was compietely wrecked. The wreck . caught fire and the entire train, with the exception of the sleeper, was de- stroved. Every pnerson on the train, e cept the occupants of the Pullman car, perished. Not a member of the train crew escaped. Thirty-five persons in all were killed The train left Macon at 7:10 and was | due in Atlanta at 9:40 last night. McDon- ough was reached on time. At this point connection is made for Columbus, Ga., and here every night the Columbus train is coupled on and hauled through to At- lanta. Last night, however, for the first time in many months tne Columbus train was reported two hours late on account of a washout on that branch, and the Macon | train started on to Atlanta without its | Columbus connection. Tremendous rains of dally occurrence | for the past two weeks had swollen all | streams in all varts of the South, and | several washouts have been reported on | the different roads. Camps Creek, which 2 into the Okmulgee, was over {ts which it runs. the lowlands About a mi ough the creek comes somewhere near the Southern’s tracks, and, running alongside for some distance, finally passes away under the road by a heavy stone culvert.

Flashes of lightning added to the steady glow of the burning train and lighted up the scene with fearful distinctness. Flagman Quinlan, who was one of the | first to get out, at once started for the nearest telegraph station. Making his way as rapidly as possible in the face of the blinding storm, he stumbled into the office at McDonough, and after telling the night operator of the wreck, fell fainting { to the floor. Word was quickly sent to both, Atlanta and Macon, but no asslst- | ance'was to be had execept in the former city, as the Interrupted track prevented | the arrival of any train from Macon. !

BOSTON, Jure 24—Senator Lodge, who returned from the Philadelphia conve | tion with augmented prestige as an ex- | pounder of Republican policy, is out with | a vigorous statement urging the duty of | the United States Government to take an active interest in the adjustment of af- fairs in China. Senator Lodge's state- | | ment is regarded by the politiclans of the | as outlining in some measure the | East purposes of the administration with re- spect to the issues that have newly arisen in the Far East. Senator Lodge says in | his public statement: We have China on the far western sphere of the Pacific, but we hold the other side. The | people who live on the furtherest shore of the Pacific cannot be a matter of indifference to the masters of the western coast of North America. | " Study that Chinese question. It is the great question of the day. The events that are go- | ing on to-day in China are big with future re- | sults. All the great nations of the world are | gathered there. One great nation Is planning | to seize that empire and close it to the rest of the world. That in our own Interests, and in the interests of humanity, and the interests of civilization, too, we cannot afford. 1 am not afrald ever to see the United States fake her place in the struggle of the great world powers, where she belongs. I do not mean that I want her to meddle in Europe. God forbid! But I do say that the other side of the Pacific is an American interest, and I want to see the United States protect her own throughout the East. She can do it. We are no weakling. blood of youth is in our veins, and we triumph over these difficulties as we have umphed over greater ones in the past. BARRETT SAYS CHINA SHOULD REMAIN INTACT CINCINNATT, June 24.—Hon. John Bar- rett, ex-Minister to Siam, was here to- day. Before leaving for Cleveland he | sa “In restoring peace in China the United | States should be the principal influence to determine the future and fate of China. It is America’s influence only that can successfully relieve this probiem and keep China from an impending break-up. America must stand for the integrity of the Chinese empire, for we have every- thing to lose and nothing to gain by her partition among the European powers. ““Oh, if America allows China to be&l. vided, the expansion of our commerce afid the extent of our moral influence will be absolutely limited by the attitude and policy of European nations. “Another point is this: The United States is the only power whose leadership and dictation of policy Russia would ac- cept.” I S T GERMANY IS WITH RUSSIA. .
