ARTHUR SEWELL NOT A
PROFESSED EXPANSIONIST.
But as the Islands Have Fallen Into
Our Hands Favors Holding Them
Silver Issue Not Dead.
WASHINGTON. Jan. .-Arthur Sewell.
of Maine, candidate for vie president
on the democratic ticket in ISM. is in
favor of expansion.
"I do not car to express an opinion,"
aald Mr. Sewell, "upon Colonel Bryan's
attitude upon the question of expansion.
I will tell you mine, however. While not
a professed expansionist, I believe we
should hold the Philippines.
"It Is true we did not go to war with
Spain for territorial acquisition. Per
sonally, I waa opposed to going to war
for any such purpose. But the' Islands
have fallen Into our hands and to that
extent they are ours and expansion be
comes a fact. We should not give them
back to Bpain.
"With the proposition that they will
be troublesome to us. If retained, I do
not concur. Thla country has proven Its
capeHty to hold and control her acquired
territory and to settle other great ques
tions that come before It during hs ex
istence as a republic, and I have faith
In the ability of this government to sue
cessfully hold and control Its acquired
possesions. I do not consider the ques
tion of cr;anslon yet an Usue.
"Tho frei coinage of silver as enun
ciated by the platfor.a adopted at Chi.
cago in 1& is still the leading Issue be
tween the two great political parties.
Far from being dead, IS to 1 will be re-
adopted by the next democratic conven.

FILIPINOS ARE NOT
NATURALLY WARLIKE
Unscrupulous Half-Breeds. Father Dlai
Says, Forced Natives to Take Up
Arms Against United States.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 9. Father
Dias, leader of the ten Spanish priests
from Manila who are In this city on
their way to Panama says:
"The Filipinos are not naturally war
like, and would not now be opposing the
United Status were it not for the leaders
who are spurring them on. These leaders
are in the work solely for personal gain
and would prove hard masters for the
weaker portion of the natives should they
gain the power. At Ho Ho, where I was
stationed, there would have been little
fighting if It had not been tor those
malcontents who forced the natives to
take up arms. Most of the men who are
at the head of the Insurgent movement
are motlsos or half-breeds. As to Aguln.
aldo himself, he la a crafty fellow and
has a following among those people who
hope to climb by his advancement. I
do not consider Agulnaldo personally re
sponsible for all the brutality shown our
friars, yet he could have prevented a
good portion of it had he seen fit to do
o."
Father Feniandes, another of the
party, states that, he considers the na
tlves of the Islands a clvlllxed people.

EIGHTEEN WERE KILLED

Iujnrella a Heai-On
' Collision.
TRAINS MET ON A CIRYE
Freight Crashel Into a Passenger cf
Seven Cars Loaded With Excursionists-Awful
Damage.
NEW YORK, Jan. .-By a head-on
collision between two passenger trains on
tbe Lehigh Valley railroad at West Dun
ellen, N. J., at 12:4a p, m. today, 13 per.
sons were killed and over S wounded.
West Dunellen la three mile from
Bound Brook, and about 10 mile from
New York City. At the spot where the
disaster occurred tber Is a sharp curve
In the Lehigh Valley track, and a steep
cut, but the ao-ident was due, In the first
place, to some terrible mlstak m train
orders, and in the second place to an
other accident that occurred at Bound
Brook earlier in tbe day.
The blood -stained wreck of tangled and
twitted Iron and wood that was still on
the tracks tonight bore witness to the
truth of the general verdict of railroad
men that this was one of the worst coL
111 on tn recent years.
The head-on collision on the double
track road wa made possible only by a
freight wreck which occurred at Bound
Brook at ( o'clock this morning, when
th axle of a freight car broke and nine
car were piled up on top of each other.
This completely blocked the east-bound
track and all through the morning Le
high Valley trains bound for New York
switched from their own track to th
west-bound track, going ever these rails
from Bound Brook to New Market, a
distance of six miles, and changing at
the latter place back to their right aide
of road. To permit this mode of traffic
all west-bound trains were held at South
Plalnfleld until their own line was clear
of trains going In the opposite direction.
Train No. SO. which left Shamokin, Pa.,
at 7 a. ra, wa ao heavy with human
freight that it had to be broken Into
three section. The first two sections
arrived at Bound Brook, switched over
to the other track, switched back at New
Market and reached New York city In
safety. Th third section of this train
waa almost an hour late. It seven cars
were crowded with 400 excursionists.
The party waa traveling under the au
spices of the Business Men's excursion,
an annual event which many patronise
for a three days' visit to New York. Not
a fow of the excursionists were coming
to wltnesa the MoCoy-Sharkey fight.
Their train switched over at Bound
Brook and proceeded, like the preceding
sections, on the west-bound track.
Meanwhile there had been waiting at
New Market a local train that plies
between New York and Bound Brook.
Owing to the traffic all going on one
track, it was almost an hour late. At
lost the train dispatcher at South Plains
field gave ft permission to gi. The
local was going round a curve at about
3 miles an hour.
In the cab of the excursion train was
James Prendergast, the engineer, with
his fireman. George Cheshire. They saw
the local as It started on the curvo. With
a shrieking whistle and brakes grinding
sparks from the wheels, the excursion
train bore down to what was certain
destruction. Before the passengers had
time to find out what was the matter
they were hurled headlong, knocked
senseless, and many killed outright.
The two engines, from which both crews
had Jumped, came together with an
awful crash. The excursion train was
probably going at 15 mites an hour. The
local engine turned a complete somtr-
sault.
It was In the first car of the excursion
train that all the deaths and most of
the casualties occurred. The other cars.
though their occupants were badly shak
en up, stayed on the track.
FIVE OTHERS DEAD,
vrtp vntlK. Jan. 10. Tho Herald says
that five of those wounded In the Lehigh
railroad collision at Dunellen died dur
ing the night, making a total of IS deod.
