Tho stato department has received tlio amount of the American indemnity for tho claims against Turkey, $05,000, through tho American legation at Constantinople. The money was paid by tho Turkish government to Mr. I.eishinan, our minister at Con stantinople, and was bv him placed in the Ottoman Imperial Bank und drafts remitted for tho amount. These drafts have just reached Wash ington. As is always tho case, tho claims in tlio aggregate considerably exceed the amount of the indemnity actually paid, hut our government has expressed itself sntislled with the payment. It assumes full responsi bility for tho distribution, tho Turk ish government paying down u lump sum of $05,000 and leaving it to tho state department to distribute it among the claimants at its discretion and after its own fashion. It is stated that us soon us tho department olll eials can prepare their list they will communicate directly with tlio claim ants. Theso clainiB are principally based on losses suffered by tho American missionary and educational institu tions in Turkey, notably those at Hurpoot nod Murasch, hut there aro a number of individual claims. Tho statu department officials feel tho greatest satisfaction at tho settlement of these claims. Secretary Hay had been told by diplomats skilled In tho way of Oriental diplomacy and ex perienced in tho psliitcul conditions of Southern Europe that ho would never bo able tocollect them. Among other difficulties the state department hud to contend with was thu jealousy of tho great European powers, most of whom had claims against Turkey vastly larger in amount than ours, and whoso total was beyond tho abil ity of tho Turkish government to meet. For moro than a decado tho American claims have been ponding. Minister Terrell initiated thorn; Dr. Angell wont over to collect them, expecting to bo so engaged only iv short time, but ho returned unsuc cessful after soveral years in Constan tinople.

CONDUCTOR WA8 CARELES8. Terrible Head-on Collision on the Chicago & Alton In Missouri. KntiHus City, July 12. Tho Chi citgo t Alton's vestibuled limited passenger train, bound from Chicago to Kansas City, collided with n fust livestock train between Marshall hnd Norton, Mo,, shortly after 7:30 o'clock this morning, Sixteen persons wero killed und 30 are in Kansas City hos pitals. Tho trains collided head-on. Tho engines wero pushed to either side of the track, tho baggage and chair curs wero piled on top of tho engines, tho dining cur was tipped over and the forward cars of the train tele scoped. j Immediately ufter tho collision 'some of tho cars caught firo and tho 1 wreck was a blitzing imfs, The steam I and scalding water twitped from thu engines, burning many of tho pitssen 1 gers frightfully und enveloping tho lawful scene in a cloud that mude tho 1 rescue work difficult. Freight curs wero piled 011 top of tho engines and I severul of them were burned. The mud bellowing of the cuttle was min I gled with tho shrieks of men und 1 women. Many of the passengers wero i imprisoned in thu cars while scalding steam poured in on them. Thoy prayed aloud and pleaded with tho rescuers to lend a helping hand. They weie taken out us rapidly art possible, hut there were not enough helpers to prevent tho awful burnings which many were ubjected to. Tho wreck occurred about two miles west of Norton. Near tho tracks there stands a small clump of trees. Under tho shade of these trees thu idcud bodies und the injured pitssen- gers wero tiluced, but the shade gave little relief. The heat from thu burning train was added to by tho terrific lieut of tho utmospheru, which wits blown across parched meadows and fields of curling corn into tho fuees of those who were in pain and gasped for fresh air, For a space of several square toils the ground was covered with pallets mudo of quilts, coats und garments of every descrip tion, As many of tho bed clothes us could he secured from tho sleeping curs wero used for this purpose. After spending hours under tho trees, in tlio almost unbearable heat, it was necessary for tho iujuted to undergo a trip to Kunsas City- llatlle In Transvaal. Loudon, July 12.
