An Express Train Smashed I'p and riv« Persons Are llcported Killed Alfiny of the pHgsengers ilndlj Hurt.
VKItV FKW DKTAII.R OUT A I\A KMC. CHICAGO, OCT. 21— Five persons were killed and tilty or sixty injured in a railroad wreck at 12:10 a. in. at Monmouth, 111., on the Burlington road. The Oinalia &. Denver fast express Which left this city at 0:10 Tuesday nif-'ht ran into an open switch and the entire train was thrown from the tracks. Engineer Emerson and the traveling engineer of the road, who had pone into the cab half an hour before, were killed outright. A lady passttoger was found pinioned under the trucks of the sleeper. She had evidently been hurled through a window by the crash. Iler body was crushed into an unrecognisable mass. Near her wore a man and woman both dead under the sleeper.
The train consisted of three sleepers, of two chair cars, one smoker, one baggage, one express and two mail ears. The sleepers were heavily loaded, as were also the eliair cars. Emerson, the engineer, was one of the oldest passenger engineers in the country, and he had been on this run for several months. Only two or three stops are made between this city and Monmouth. The train was speeding- along at the rate of 45 miles an hour when it struck the open switch. The engine dashed along on the spur track for a few yards, when it turned over on its side, burying Emerson and the traveling engineer of the road beneath it.
Emerson was found with bis feet touching the lire box. There was a deep wound in his head and his body was terribly crushed. After the engine left the tracks the baggage ear and the ears behind-it. were also hurled from the rails. Most of the passengers in the three sleepers had retired. The first intimation they had of danger was when the coaches crashed against each other. Men, women and children were hurled from their berths. The lights went out, leaving the cars in total darkness. A terrible panic ensued and womon screamed frantically for help. It-is said that none of the passengers in the sleepers were killed, but many'of them were severely injured.

A l.i'Ait A iso, Oct 21.—Iii regard to the row between the Chilian and American sailors the criminal judge has assured Consul McCreery that he will hold a full investigation into the affair, and that he will punish those found to have been the aggressors. The American sailors are improving and it is believed that all are now out of danger. It looks as if the liberal party had made considerable gain in the elections at Snntiago last Sunday. The conservatives appear to have gained in this city. This is, however, nonofticial. Reports from the provinces insure liberal gains.

Western Union.
NEWS AOKNCIE8 AT WAR. NEW Yonit, Oct ai.—The following statement from W. B. Soinerville, press agent of the Western Union Company, tells the situation between that organization and the associated press: •Tho difficulty Is about alleged obligations to tbo Western Union Telegraph Company ttr leased wires, and tho wires about which ffii difficulty arose are loased by tlm New York Associated Press. The wires leased for the use of the Western Associated Press ftavo been paid for, those for the New Vbr? Associated Press have not been settled, aqd tho obligation counts from Juno last to tho present Hme, the amount being about K5.000. Tho Joint oommlttoe of tho Now York Associated Pross and the Wosiern Asso'olated Press flr.u took the matter In han^ That committee cpnslsts of representatives of the New York Herald. New York Tribune, New York Bun, Louisville CourierJournal and tbo Cincinnati Commeroial Gazette. Tho question at Issue was by tbem referred to tho members of tho Joint commltteo representing tho New York Associated Press. The latter concluded not to pay tho Western Union Compay on then ground thut it was offsot by overcharges. The Western Union accordingly notified the Now York Associated Press that its leased wires would bo cut ott at onoe, and it was done. The wires In question are ono wire from New York to Chicago, two wires from Now York to Washington, ono wire from Washington to Richmond and Norfolk and one wire from Momphis to Now Orleans."
Tuesday morning the bill presented by tho telegraph company was paid and the Associated Press regained control of its leased wires. It is reported, however, that the arrangement is only temporary and that the Associated Press contemplates entering into a contract with the Hell Telephone Company for the use of its Wires between leading cities.
The row with the Western Union, however, appears to be the least of tho troubles of the Associated Press. New complications have arisen which may lead to the disruption of the entire press service. Tho New York Sun and Tribune formally withdrew from tho Associated Press at noon, and it is said that other newspapers Will follow. The seceders organized th? Ni^ional Associated Press with the following officers: C. A. Dana, president M. M. Lailan, vice president, and George Hell, superintendent. The association begins operations at once with adequate capital and facilities for transacting business on a scale equal to tho Associated Press. The new association is the outgrowth of the attempt of a clique of small newspapers to desert the Associated Press which curtailed its scope and service.
Close relations have been entered into with the United Press association, which virtually becomes part and parcel of the new association. The Western Associated Press, whijh includes fifty.' si* papers west of Pittsburgh, was not in the fight.
The Sun for a yoar or two has been furnishing a spucial press report to a number of newspaper rivals of the Associated Press members. Protests were Sled that this was cAitrary to the policy of the association, but the "bureau" was continued. The new National Associated Press, which commenced to do business Tuesday night, has its main office in the Sun building, and has for its clients the patrons of the Sun's bureau. The Tribune is interested in it, and the system bf gathering1 news was extended to the larger cities and to Europe.
In explanation of the causes which have brought about this interesting condition of affairs the Western Union people said that the Associated Press joint executive committee, with whom they had been dealing, told them that their powers had boen usurped by the other members of the association and that they were therefore unable to make any further contracts with the telegraph company.

ON' A KITE SHAPED TKACK. STOCKTON, Cal., Oct 21.—Sunol, Bonner's wonderful mare, trotted a mile in 2:08}£ on tho kite shaped track here Tuesday afternoon, boating her own record of 2:10 made a week ago and lowering the world's record of Maud S. of 2:0S% by half a sccond. Marvin, her trainer, hesitated to trot her against the rceord on account of a strong breeze which was blowing. The day was warm, however, and otherwise favorable to record breaking. It was a fast mile from the start, and the mare finished strong. After warming her up in three miles jogging and rubbing her down, Marvin came out at 5 o'clock in the afternoon to go against the record. At the first attempt ho nodded for the word and she ran away alone. The runner was waiting at the half mile for her. She went the first quarter in 31%, half in 1:04 fiat, three-quarters in 1:87 and came home strong and scored in 2:0d!^. There were six timers and every watch was the same. The crowd went wild when the time was mado known.
NEW YORK, Oct. 21.—Sunol'S marvelous mile only meets the expectation Mr. lionner has always held about the daughter of Electioneer and Waxana. To his many friends he has confided his impressions of what he thought she' was capable of doing. From tlie very day of her purchase he believed she would develop such speed as to make her supersede his peerless Maud S.
To compare Sunol's performance with that obtained by Maud S. would not please many of the older turfites from the fact that the latter's record was made on an oval track, whereas Sunol's wonderful flight of speed was aided by a kite shaped track. But whatever the differences may be between the kite and oval tracks the fact remains that Sunol is the first trotter to lower by half a seeond Maud S.'s record. [Sunol was foaled In 1886 at Senator Stanford's Pulo Alto farm, California. lnIS8Sshe made her appcarance and Immediately established her famo by reducing Wild Flower's 2-year-old record of 2:21 to and supplemcntcd this by trotting in 2: ISKi. In tho following year Sunol ongaged in three races, two of which she won and In tho other suffered defeat at the hands of Lllllun Wl)kcs. She nftorwnrds trotted against time, and November 9 lowered Axtell's 3-year-old record of 8:19 to 2:10H. After tbls brilliant perform incc she was purchased from her breeder by Robert Bonner, owner of Maud S„ and In 1890 equaled her 3-yeur-old performance of S:I0H, which entitled her to both the 3 and 4-year-old records. These two miles In 8:10H she permitted to remain until a few days ago, when sho roducod them to 2:10. Since then her driver and truluer— Marvin—has been gradually getting her to tho acmc of her speed, which has resulted In the most brilliant performanco ever yet essayed by a trotter.l

WASHINGTON, Oct 21.—France is about to let down thjj bars against, the American hog. Minister Ucid has been keeping the state department informed of the chances of American porlt product in the French senate. His recent advices have indicated that the ministry was probably strong enough to wrest the desired concession from the senate. Nothing has been received from the "minister in regard to th" action of the committee in agreeing on a rate of francs per 100« kilos for salted meats, but a dispatch is looked for towards confirming the cable news. The chamber of deputies fixed the rate at 20 francs per 100 kilos. This was about cents per pound, as against nearly 2\ cents as fixed by the sella#.. The belief is that the final compromise will be not far from 2 cents a pound. Packers '.the United States have assured .Secretary Rusk that they could do a lar fe business in France linger such a ('ute. At no time ha: the country looked for the entire removal of tho duty. France has not suffered a food famine this year to the same extent as other European countries, but its people want American pork. Tho steps taken which foreshadow an early removal of the embargo mean as much to them as to the farmers of tho Mississippi valley.
PAKIS, Oct 21.—The senate tariff committee met again Tuesday, when the subject of the admission of American pork was debated at considerable length. Finally the committee decided in favor of a proposition to impose a duty of 25 francs per 100 kilos on salted meats of all kinds, including pork, ham and bacon, instead of ono of 20 francs which the chamber of deputies had already passed.

The loss will reach 875,000, fully covered by insurance, llillert will die.
Ella Agy was on the fourth floor when the explosion" occurred, and the flames spread so rapidly that she was badly bnrned in escaping from the building. The concussion was terrific, wrecking tho lower floors of the structure and breaking windows a block away. Mrs. Gibson was walking on the opposite side of the street and was forcibly thrown trt the pavement. Her injuries are not serious. W. T.
