Sharon, Mass., Aug. 23 A frightful tear-end collision occurred in ' the Sharon station of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, at 7:80 o'clock tonight, when an expreaa train, which was running at the second sec tion ol a long train, orashed into tlie first section, composed of local cart. , ' As a result seven persotit were killed and ti seriously injured. The injured were nearly all removed to Boston on a special train, which wat met by ambu lances and surgeons. The rear car of tlie local train was completely demol ished, and portion of the second car, while the engine of the express truid was crippled. Tbe dead aret - Franklin M. Waters, Somervillo, Mass.; Mrs. W. J. FiUpattick, Boston; Mrs. W. J. Fltzpatrlck's granddaughter, Mary Fitzpatrick, 10-year-old girl; Mia.

" It left Mansfield on time, making two stops, and had lost the 18 minutet between Manafleld and Sharon. It was due in Canton Junc tion, the next station beyond Sharon, two mlnutoa ahead Of the express train, which should have passed, it there. Sharon it eltuated on curve, and both the outward and inward trackt are protected by electric block signals. After the acoident it wat thought tht block llgnal , protecting the inward track wat tet at danger, showing, at It wat intended, that there wat a train in the station. There was no warning given by the conductor of the Mans field local, to show the approaching train that the track wat not olear at the station, and it was not until he wat within 800 foot ol the ttation that tht engineer of the expresa noticed any thing wrong. He immediately tet all brakes and whlatiod warning, but it was too late to stop the express. It crashed into the rear car,. splitting it asunder and completely demolishing It, with the exception of the roof. Its speed waa not slackened until the engine had penetrated fully five feel Into the rear of tho eeoond oar. Tht escaping ateam entered the car and badly scalded a number of tbeooau pants.

He stated after the accident that he bft Mansfield prompt ly oh time and there waa no inoidunt until be wat within 400 feet of the Mansfield train. Then he taw the red lights of that train and shut oft steam. Meanwhile he had whistled for brakes and used every effort to atop bis train. Every one of the killed and injured was on. the Mansfield train, and tht only explanation of the fuot that the numoer oi nummo-a iiu imgu. ,oj that the pasiengert were all in the, forward end of the car, and most of, them at the time of the acoident were either upon the front platform or stand ing by the door. , . i r Mary Fitzpatrick, 10 yeait old, wat taken from the wreck unconscious, and died just at the tpeoial train beaiing the injured started for Boston. Twenty one of the Injured were taken on thit train. . ',' j The scene about the little ttation at Sharon was a terrible one. A large oorpa of turgeont .and two undertaken arrived toon alter the accident and ira- J modiatoly tet to work to relieve the tuffering and eare for the bodies of the dead. There were very few lights about the portion of the track where the ac cident occurred, and the aurgeont were com pulled to do their work in almost total darkness, .' . .. Fifteen ambulances waited the ar rival of the train at the Park tquart ttation, which brought the injured from tlie tcene of the wreok. A great crowd had assembled, and force of police men were necessary to keep them from crowding onto tlie traokt.

Saratoga, Aug. 23. The national conference on the foreign policy of the United States opened here today, with an address by Henry Wade Rogers, of Chicago, chairman of tlie committee on arrangoment. Rogers taid the confer ence wat called to consider - tome momentous questions In the history of tbe republic He spoke of the war, and returned prayerful thanks for the peace now at hand. While peace has arrived, he said, there were many teriout prob lem! to be considered. He referred to the close friendship between Americans and British, which would promptly lead to international arbitration and finally to universal peace. Tbe speaker spoke favorably of the Nicaragua canal, which be argued should be built and controlled by the United Statee government. The canai would shorten the distance by water to San Franoisco by 18,003 miles. Tht question of the Nicaragua canal wot taken up, and Warner Miller took tbe platform. Be briefly tpoke of hit per eisteut advocacy of the canal. Events of tbe past three months do- Lmanded the Immediate construction, and he believed all Americana were now universally In favor of it, at waa also all of Europe. He tpoke of tbe numer ous surveys made of every proposed route to pierce the isthmus, and taid the route by the way of the Nicaragua canal hat received great consideration aa both feasible and desirable. Mr. Miller roferred to teveral canals that have materially aided in opening up tbe country. ; ; . The Nicaragua canal would alone save us 10,000 miles, and would be a great outlet for those etatet on tho Pa cific coast. The continent it gridironed with transcontinental railroads, but these do not alone afford the advantages that could be secured by a canal. It it a question of cheap transportation, and the Nicaragua canal would solve tht problem. Within 10 years after the completion of tbe canal the population of the Pacific etatet will have increased to 10,000,000. One of the best results qf the Spanish-American war is that. it will compel tue bonding or me .Nic aragua canal. :'' The annexation problem wat token up at the afternoon session. Carl Scbuiz, of New York, tpoke at length, giving the views of the anti-expansloq-isttj whose cause-he advocated. lit Wat oppoted by Judge Grostoup, of Chicago, whole an earnest expansionist. Judge Groescop taid In parti 1 ,! ' . "I am among those who believe that the people of the United States can, Withoat breach of faith to the promised of our past or teriout danger to the ex pectations of our future, hold penna nenly ail or a portion of the territory that bat been occupied by our troopt during the progress of the war. I am ready to go a etep further and assert that the obligations of our duty toward mankind, and especially toward tbe particular peoples who hare been drawn within the aphere of our .opera tlont, and toward the future useful nets of ourselves, demand that we should permanently retain to much of these, tbe captures of war, as are need ed to round out the moral purposes for which it was inaugurated, and the greater destiny on which, at a notiqu, we are about to enter. "At a people, we, for the first time, look clearly over the empire of the earth. Without the sacrifice of right eousness or honor, but at tlie minister! of both, tlie invitation comes to take our share in tbe opportunities and re sponsibilities of this wider field. The immediate question, the one timt, by ita solution, will either bring in m bat out of thit larger national sphere, re lates to the permanent occupation of our 8paniah conquests. Tlie true question ia not whether Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines are intrins ically worth the responsibilities in curred by their occupation, bat wheth er their commerce and resources will countei balance the new dangers that their acquirement would introduce into our politioal system. For I see behind them, in the horizon toward which We are heading, looming np from the Pa cifio, mountainona interests and oppor tunity, against which the outlines of the Philippines are but a mere epeok something more than islands, nothing lie than a continent. "Within Asia liea the interest and the opportunity that, by itt largeness, dwarfs every other prospoct. it- favor the acquisition of Porto Ricb.-partly because the moral purpose of this war demands that it should not longer be a political plague spot In the otherwise purified. Caribbean tea, but ..chiefly because it it at . the gateway to the Caribbean a aea that when the com merce of Aaia ia fully developed aud the Nioaragua canal opened will, from both a naval and commercial view, be come the most important water on the face of the globe. I favored the acquisi tion of the Philippines, or so much of them at may be needed, tolcly because In the new career of commercial activ ity upon which I trust we are about to enter, we need olear aorost the Pacific a line of naval atationa and home poits; ttationt in every tense our own-, carry ing under .the toil the American title and over It the American ng."

A special die- patch to the Tribune from Washington lays: Adjutant-General Corbin taid in an interview that he wat going to mus ter out between 75,000 and 100,000 vol unteers at soon, at practicable. The selection of the regimentt will not be made arbitrarily, but having In mind, firet of all, the reports of the regular army officers now with the volunteers. Tbe highest consideration will be given the wishes o( governors, at well at ol tbe regiments themselves. The Inter ests of tiie national government demand the .disbandment of troopa secured un der tht second call in certain instances, and in other casea regimentt raised un der tbe firet call, which have had ser vice and which have been materially reduced in efficiency through sickness, will be the first to go. It will not be feasible to issue a gen eral order or, to prepare a complete list covering all tbe forces to be mustered out for tome time to oome. On the contrary, aa toon as an agreement is reached regarding any particular regi ment, it will be Immediately sent to the state camp, and as toon at ita prop erty can be turned over to the govern ment and its accounts settled, tbe indi vidual records of itt officers and men will be completed and they will .be dis charged from service under the United States.. -; . Tbe only mustering out ordera issued up to the present time relate to the First Vermont Infantry.
