.Uvti Lost in a EmMh-Up. A Fremont, Elkborn and Missouri Valley freight train drawn by two locomotives ran into the rear end of an Omaha line passenger train in the yards at Omaha. Tbe last car on the passenger train was the dining car, Delmonico. It was split almost in two lengthwise. Harry Jones, waiter, of Chicago, was killed, and Otto Homedale, conductor dining car, scalded and fatally injured about the wdy. Several other persons were seriously injured. The accident was due to the inability of the engineer, Michael Smith, of the head engine of the freight, to stop his train. The track from the curve south to where the accident occurred is a down grade. Engineer Brandt said that when the engrlni's passed the curve he saw the motionless passenger train and whistled for "down brakes," but before this move could be made the engine struck the dining car. As they struck Brandt and bis fireman jumped, as did Engineer Smith and bis fireman.

The expected tragedy nt Virden, 111., was enacted Wednesday. A train load of negro miners who were brought to Virden to take the places of the men who were on strike was met by a mob of strikers, variously estimated at from five hundred to fifteen hundred, and a battle ensued, in which many were killed or wounded. The striking miners had been awaiting the coming of the negroes for several days. They have been armed during all of that time and hare paraded the streets Of the town, openly avowing their purpose to prevent the negroes from landing. The tragedy is the result of a determined effort on the part of the Chicago-Vir-den Coal Company to employ negro min-
irs brought from .Alabama tq. take the
pmees oi miners on a t.ume. ine eiinvers were equally determined and both sides sought to win by force of arms. Firing begun when the train loaded passed

CAUSE OF THE MIXERS' STRIKE. SENTIMENT AHA1NST OPERATORS
Conditions Leading Up to the Trouble at Pano and Virden. The coal miners' strike, which has had such a sanguinary culmination nt Virden, was begun last April. 'Die miners insisted on a scale of wages adopted at the miners national convention nt Columbus. The operators refused the terms demanded, and the miners offered to leave the matter to arbitration. This the operators refused to consider, and when the State ltoard of Arbitration went to 1'iina for the purpose of settling the difficulty, If possible, tht- operators declined to join in the iiircstigatiou. Then the lockout began. In Angus! the operators grew tired of the situation and under look to fill the strikers' places with imported negroes, and since that time I'ana has been in a state of siege. Sheriffs have guarded the negroes, who have been working behind stockades. The Peiiwoll and Springside mines were protected with stockades and the negroes were safe behind them. Whenever nn imported miner appeared iu file streets he was roughly treated.
Opinion General at Virden Tnat the Miners Have Won n Victory.
Kvi-rywhere, according to a Virden report, sentiment is against the mine own
ers. It is the general opinion that the miners have won a victory, though at a terrible price. Miners stood guard nt the
stockades, and the Chicago and Alton
tracks all of Wednesday night, fearful
that an attempt would be made to bring the special with the imported miners on
board back from Springhold. the min
ers claim that the first shot was fired from the train by a guard. A miner fired a
shot into the air as the train approached the town, as a signal for the miners to
assemble and resist the landing of the negroes.
Adjutant General Itceeo, in command
of the soldiers, said he had unmistakable orders from Gov, Tanner to prevent fur
ther trouble, to protect lives and property
and to prevent operators from bringing
imported labor into the town. lie called
noon the men at the stockade with Col

beaten and kicked until fatally wounded,
It was shortly after noon when the trouble began, 'jhe operators have known
ror weoK.i that there would lie riot and
bloodshed the moment it was attempted
to unload tbe negroes ot the mines, and they were prepared for trouble. A stock
ade had been orected, with a block house
In the inclosure, in which thirty-two Chi
cago police officers with loaded ritles were
ntutinne-V No sooner had the train steankad in than a fusillade was opened upon the miners from the guards in the block house anil the fifty guards in charge of the train. Then the slaughter began. The miners returned the fire, and soon dead and wounded men cumbered the ground. At the easi end of the stockade where the train stopped the scene was awful. The miners who were making thir demonstrations were to the south of the stockade, but over In the field east of the Chicago and Alton tracks was a crowd of miners. The guards in the tower and on the train commenced picking them off, and here is where the
miners lost all their men who were k lied,
The train met a furious volley of br.llets from over a thousand men, every shot in
tending to kill. The volleys were kept up
for fully ten minutes, until the nselcst ness if remaining became apparent to the trainmen, and the train was sped in to
Springfield.
Then the miners turned loose and pan
demonium reigned. The men were classed at the slaughter of their comrades, and as a result there were terrible excesses. J. I' Eyster, manager rf the coal mmpany store, was espied in the streets and set upon. lie was first shot down and then bis body was frightfully mangled

Tbos, Preston, formerly a lieutenant of police in Chicago, was killed by the militia. lie was on guard at the stockade nnd failed to respond to an order to halt.
Troops were sent by Gov. Tanner to
protect life and property and he asked the Kedersi authorities to allow him to
ase Col. Culver's regiment. He insisted
(lie soldiers should not aid the coal mine operators iu their purpose of working imported negro miners, and he declares the operators ought to be convicted for causing the bloodshed. Mr. Lukens, tbe company's manager, is titiite as vclunciit ill bis denunciation of the Governor for his failure to send troops sooner.
TROUBLE FEARED AT FAN A.
Private (inorde nnd Armed Soldiers
Parade the I- trcetu. It is feared the effect of the battle be
tween the miners, deputies and hired guards lit Virden will be to precipitate trouble in I'ana, where the same conditions precisely exist, except upon a greater scale. Kigtit hundred miners are out of employment at I'ana, ami the places of
these mni have been tilled by imported
negroes. Keeling runs high over tbe Virden incident. It has been found necessary to,plat' a private guard on duty, and BOldii-rsv pnrude the streets.

Jules Mcllnc Utters Fcrioua Warning Against Anjltation and Unrest. Jules Meline, premier of the French ministry preceding the present Government of M. Hrisson and who presided at a banquet of the Association of Hnihvay Employes at Hpiuai, Krance, uttered a serious warning against the agitation and unrest in France, class troubles and strikes. Referring to the "divided state of society, the violence of polemics and the sectarian spirit displayed in polities," he said it was impossible to see France thus torn by factious and devoured by political passions, while daily the principle
ot authority was undermined, the army was weakened, and lite institutions upon which rested the security of the nation were shaken, without thinking of "that opening in the Vosges through which an invading army could pass," or without thinking of "some unforeseen temptation being offered to the foreigner." The adversaries of France, however, had no need to declare war, said XI,. Meline. They were content to wait the exhaustion of France. News of Minor Note.

Mr, McKinley and Party Arrive In the Exposition City nnd Arc Greeted by an Enormous Crowd The Trip Through Western States. Two hundred thousand citizens of the transmissouri region welcomed President McKinley to the Omaha peace jubilee. The enthusiasm of the greeting was worthy of the great West and the President of the republic. President McKinley was profoundly impressed with the magnitude of the demonstration. He said as much in words and more in actions, for he made no effort to conceal his pleasure. From th-;
time the special bearing the distlngiusticii guest passe.; into the city until the President entered his quarters for repose an hour later he received a continual ovation. His route was through an ocean of human faces ajid the vast throng stretched ont into the side streets as far as the ey? could see. All ideas of confining the delighted people to the curbstones was abandoned before the presidential party entered, and as it proceeded through the streets in vehicles the acclaiming multitude touched the very wheels of tbe carriages and goodnaturedly elbowed for room in which to raise and wave flags aud other emblems of a national nature. It was a few minutes past 0 o'clock when the headlight of the presidential special glistened on the great bridge soparal:iiiii Nebraska and Iowa. The thousands surrounding the station greeted the aipenranee of the locomotive with shouts prolonged. The steam whistles and bells of the city took up the acclaim arid for a few. minutes the whole city resounded with a perfect medley of dieordntt sounds. I'-esident McKinley was ready to alight almost as the train came to a halt, and before the platoon of police could press back the crowd which cloacd around the presidential sroeiul. The members of the reception committee boarded the train in Council Waffs and to them the Presi
dent remarked upon ilie ease of the jour
ney, adding: "Such i welcome would
make any one forget the fatigue of a
thousand such journeys." S-'econtl Train Arrives.
Scarcely had greetings been exchanged when the army and navy special arrived. The two trains had crossed the State
practically as two sections, running tbe
last 100 miles almost :n sight of each oth
er. As the occupants of the two trains mingled on the platform the reception
committee assigned the visitors to car
riages, and the procession moved toward
the center of the city. Fresident McKlu
ley, Mayor Frank E. Moores of Omaha and President Wittlca of the expositicn
occupied the front carriages, and others spread out for a distance of several hundred yards. King Ak-Sar-Ilen and ES00 of his knights, composing the secret enter
tainment organization of Omaha, acted us
escorts to the President. They formed a cavalcade rhfut added much to the beauty of the procession. The Ak-Sar-Bn
knights formed into platoons as outriders,
escorting each carnage In fours.
Thus the proewston passed north on Tenth street to Fnrnam and west on Far-
nam to the city hall, where the distmcruished cuests alighted to witness the fes
tivities of the evening. Every turn of the
wheels gave the President new surprises
as to the magnitude ond enthusiasm or
Omaha's oeace ju':iiee crowd. The caval
cade only tried to keep the jubilant crowds back six feet from the carriages of the chief executive and his party, but even this was futile, and the vehicles were Im
peded in their progress by the weight of
human bodies. When rne army cmeis
vehicle passed tbe shouts and wild ac
claim of the crowd was scarcely less loan that with which the President was greet
ed. CROWDS ALONG THE WAT.
Ovation Olvou the President by Peo
ple of Illinois nnd Iowa.
Wherever the presidential train stopped in Illinois and Iowa tbe demonstrations were enthusiastic beyond precedent. At the stations through which the trains rushed at full speed the enthusiasm was not less evident, but the people were compelled to content themselves with a cheer
and were rewarded by a wave or tne nana. The presidential train arrived in Chi
cago about 7 o'clock in the morning over
the Pennsylvaiia road ana was swung
around to the Chicago and Northwestern by the belt line. The engine which pullinl
the presidential train out of Chicago was
one of the most powerful ever made, and
wns bedecked with nags and bunting until It looked like a triumphal car,
The P::esMent's journey through Illi
nois and Iowa was a continuous ovation
The first stop was made at Dekalb, and here the President spoke a few words in

President applied on the roar platform
and v.as received with tremendous cheers.
The President left the train for the first
time nt Cedar linpids. A platform elaborately decorated stood near the track,
and from here Mr. McKinley delivered an
address which brought cheers from 10,000
lusty throats.
