He alluded to the prospeots for the vast expansion of foreign trade when the present work of deepening the channel and harbor is completed. Speeches were also made by Secretary Rusk and other members of the party.

A noteworthy feature of the grand demonstration of Saturday was the cordial welcome given the president by the Italian colony of this city. All their local societies participated in the parade, acting as a special escort to the Italian consul at Galveston, and that gentleman afterward on their behalf presented the president with a beautiful floral design symbolical of peucc and fraternity.

KILLED OF A COLLISION.

CLEVELAND, 0., April 20.—A frightful wreck occurred on the Lake Shoro railroad at Kipton station, 40 miles west of Cleveland, early Saturday evening, in which six postal clerks, two engineers afUl a fireman were killed. The fast mail. No. 14, bound east, collided with No. 21,» the Toledo express, just as the latter train was about to pull on the siding to let tho fast mail pass. The fast mail was running at full speed, and the force of the collision was so great that both engines, thrti mall oars and one bag-

fage

car were completely -wrecked, ollowlng is the list of the dead: Edward Brown, engineer of No. 2), of Toledo, O. Charles TopllfT, engineer of No. 14, of Toledo, O. F. J. Nugent, postal olerk, of Toledo, O. Charles IlammUl, postal clerk, of Elfria, O. F. E. demons, postal elerk, of Cleveland, O.i John J. Bowerflne, postal clerk, of Elyrla, O. James MoKlnley, postal clork, of Conneaut, O. C. H. McDowell, postal clerk, of Elyrla, O. Stsley, fireman No. 14.

The injured are: Abram Dereamer, passenger) Charles Dazey, railroad employe Kllnefolder, express messenger.

Abram Dereamer, a farmer living near Kipton, was the only passenger hurt. He was standing on tho platform when the collision occurred, aud his skull was fractnred. He may recover. Charles Dazey, son of tho* section bass, was standing on the depot platform and was badly hurt about the head. His skull is supposed to be fractured. Express Messenger Klinefolder, of Cleveland, O., was badly hurt about the legs and may die. The loss to the railroad company will not fall short of 8100,010. None of the passenger cars left the traok and but one passengcr received serious injuries.

It was the custom for these two trains to pass at Kipton, the Toledo express taking the side track for the fast mail, which usually went through Kipton without slackening its speed The Toledo express was a few minutes late and had just come to a stop at the switch when the fist mail came in sight There is scarcely any curve at the station, but on one side of the track was a line of freight cars and on the other the station. These might have obstructed the vision'of the engineer of the fast mall, He applied the air brakes when he saw that a collision was Inevitable, but the speed of the train was JIot.checked materially.

Tllfl the Toledo express was knocked squarely across the track, and that of the fast mall reared in the air, resting on top of the other. The fast mail consisted of three mail oars and two parlor cars, and the Toledo express of five ooaches and two baggage cars. The first and second mall cars were telescoped and smashed to kindling wood, and the third crashed Into the first two and rolled over on the station platform, breaking the windows of the building. The two baggage cars on the Toledo express Were knocked from the track, but did not turn over. The force of the collision was so great that of the sixty-four revolving chairs in the two parlor cars only four remained attached to the floors, all the others being broken and hurled about in confusion. Tho passengers were thrown to the floor and badly shaken, but none Were seriously injured.

The passengers of the two trains at once began the work of rescue, and, with a corps of physicians from the town, ministered to the few who were injured. The bodies of the dead were all horribly crushed and mutilated, arms and legs being torn off, and the corpses were almost beyond recognition.

Charles Topi ft, the engineer of the fast mall, remained bravely at his post and was found with his hand on the throttle, dead. His hands and face were so badly scalded that the blackened flesh dropped from the bones when Ills body was taken out. Fireman Stanley, of the fast mail, jumped from the train and escaped with a broken leg and dislocated shoulder. The doctors say ho will recover.

The poor postal clerks had not a chance to escape. They were caged like rats and the telescoping of the cars crushed the life out of them without a moment's notice.

It is difficult to locate the blame for the accident, as both the engineers are dead. It is said, however, that No. 21 was ordered to stop at Oberlin but went on to Kipton, which is 8 miles further west, and had not sufficient time to make the side track.

May Still Wear Tights.

ST. PAUL, Minn., April 20—Tho most remarkable legislature that has assembled in Minnesota In the thirtytwo years of the state's existence passed its last bill at 5 o'clock Sunday morning and will formally bid St Paul good-by at 10 o'clock this morning.

MORE RIOTING HAS TAKEN PLACE.

A Deputy .Sheriff Ila,lly Hurt by a Mob— Dynamite Used at the Kylo Works -The Sheriff Asks for

State Troops.

SCOTTDAI.E, 1'a,, April 20.—The coke region is again tho scene of lawlessness and excitement is at fever heat. Friday night a band of about 100 strikers assaulted the Leisenring No. 2 plant of the Frick Coke Company. Shots were exchanged, and for a time the fight waged furiously. The guards held their ground, and finally compelled the mob to beat a retreat, but not until one of the deputies was dangerously injured, and, it is thought, cannot recover. Sheriff MeCormiek up to this time has been trying to deal patiently with tills lawless element and to avoid if possible being charged with using undue authority, but he concluded to surrender and call on the government for state troops. Ilis deputies' lives have been placed in peril a number of times during the past three or four days.

At the oflices of the Frick and McClure companies word is given out that a fow more men reported for work at a number of the plants now running and that the shipments of coke will be increased a few cars.

Tho various meotings held by tho labor loaders seem to have no effect, at least not getting any of the men at work to quit Master Workmen Wise and Hay have returned from the Whitney and Lippincott works, near Latrobe, where they held meetings Friday. They are gruatly depressed over the failure to accomplish anything. The men remaining out domand that those at work be brought out aud the Italians driven away within two days, or all the men •would claim their jobs. The situation with the leaders is becoming painfully serious and looks more like defeat every du.y.

SCOTTDAI.E, Pa., April 20.—Dynamite was exploded in several parts of the coke region Friday night. Tho only serious-damage was at the Kyle works, where a large water tank was demolished.

UNIONTOWN, Pa., April 20.—AdjtGen. McClelland arrived at 8 o'clock Sunday morning, having left Harrisburg at midnight and coming here from Greensburg on an engine. He found the situation so unwarliko that he began the day by attending church, lie met Sheriff MeCormiek and notified him that Company 0 of this place and Company E, Capt Loar's company, of Mount Pleasant, were assembled and ready to movo whenever tho sheriff decided that their services were needed. The adjutant general laid great stress upon the fact that the troops are not to be used to assist in evictions or to do police duty at any of the works, but to quell disturbances and maintain order When Sheriff MoC'.-rmick's means have failed.

SCOTTDAI.E, l'a., April 20.—Sunday was another lively day it: the coke region. Numerous mass-meetings were held, and preceding the wholesale evictions which will occur to-day they aro taken with signifinance. With a brass band to stir up their spirits a massmeeting of several hundred strikers was held Sunday afternoon at the Summit plant, where the Imported foreigners have been at work. Every effort was made to get the Italians to attend, but without uvail.

The labor leaders say they hope Gov. Pattlson will come to the region as intended and make a rigid and searching Investigation of affairs. They olalm that the strikers'! are accused inuocently of many occurrences and that nothing but an investigation will bring out these facts.

The eviction movement will be fully inaugurated and it is expected that some of the distressing scenes of 1881 and 1886 will be reenacted. That many families will resist seems to be the general Impression. Several hundred eviction notices were served by the coke companies on strikers between that place and Bradford Saturday night At Summit and Morgan's a couple of hundred of papers were served. They will all expire this week and the labor officials think that their tents will arrive in time to afford shelter to all the families. The Morcwood notices expired Sunday and evictions will take place to-day.

Drowned While Out floating. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 20.—A double drowning occurrcd Saturday night in the canal near a place known as Brighton Beach, where boats are kept for hire. The couple were out rowing and by some means the boat upset The bodies were recovered and identified as George Hardy and Mrs. Ollie Sells, a widow.

lAHt of Chicago's Foandcrs. CHICAGO, April 20.—Alanson Sweet, who came to Chicago when only soldiers, Indians and squatters were here, and who was the only survivor of twelve men that agreed to found tho town of Chicago, died Saturday morning at the age of 67 years at the homo
