Frightful Accident on a Mas sachusetts Railroad. THE SIGNALS FAILED TO WOEK Bovca Peopla Killed and Twenty. 8li Wounded Scalded by Escap ing Staatn. Sharon, Mass., Aug. 23. A frightful rear-end collision occuned in the Sharon station of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad,' at 7:80 o'clock tonight, when an express train, which was running as the second sec tion of a long train, crashed into the first section, composed of local cars. As a rosult seven persons were killod end 26 seriously injured. The injured were nearly all-removed to Boston on a special train, which was met by ambu lances and surgeons. The rear car of the local train was completely demol ished, and a portion of tho second car, while tho engine of the express train Was crippled. Tho dead aie: Franklin M. Waters, Somerville, Mass.; Mrs. W. J. Fitzpatrick, Boston; Mrs. W. J. Fitzpatrlck's granddaughter, Mary Fitzpatrick, a 10-year-old girl; Mr. Fitzpatrick'a grandson, 15 yars old; a woman, supposed to be Mrs. Watson, of Westerly, R. I.; Mrs. H. C, Brisoo, Kevere, Mass.; C. B. Fryo, Itevere, Mass. The two tiains which were in tb collision wero usually combined into ono long train, but as the traffic today was so heavy, It was divided, the first section running as a local accommoda tion, while the second, which started from Mansfield 15 minutes later than the first, ran as an express. Tho local train due at Sharon at 7:02 was IS minutes late. It left Mansfield 6a time, making two stops, and had lost thoJS minutes between Mansfield and Sharon. It was duo in Canton Junc tion, the next station beyond Sharon, two minutes ahead of the express train, which should bavo passed it there. Sharon is situated on a curve, and both tbe outward and inward tracks are protected by electric block signals. - " : After the accident It was thought th block signal protecting the inward track was set at danger, showing, aa it was intended, that there was a train in the station.- Thoio was no warning given by tho conductor of the Mans field local, to show the. approaching train that tho track was not clear at the station, and it was not until be was within 300 feet of the station that tbs engineer ; of the 'express noticed any thing wrong. ' Ha immediately set all brakoa and whistled a warning, but it was too late to stop tiie express. It crashed into the rear car, splitting it asunder and completely demolishing it, with the exception of the root Its sjeed was not slackened until the engine had penetrated fully five feet into tho rear of tho second car. The escaping steam entered the car and badly scalded a number of the occu pants. Tho roof of the last car was forced on top of the engine ot the ex press, and remained there as the only portion of the car intact. ' Engineer Getchell ; and Fireman Holmes, of the express train, both jumped. Getchell was cut and bruised about tbe head. He stated after the accident that he lift Mansfield prompt ly on time and there was no lnoident until he was within 400 foot of the Mansfield train. :' Then he saw the red lights ot that train and shut off steam. Meanwhile he had whistled for brakes and used every effort to stop his train. Every one of the killed and injured was on the Mansfield train, and the only explanation of tho fact that the numbor of fatalitioa ia not larger is that the passengers were all in the forward end of the car, and most of them at the time of the accident were either upon the front platform or stand ing by tho door. Mary Fitzpatrick, 10 yo.tis old, was taken fiora the wreck unconscious, and died just aa the speoial train beaiing : tne injured started tor uosiou. iwoniv- one of tlio injured were taken ou this train.

Thero wero vory few lights about the portion of the track where the ac cident occurred, and the surgeons were compelled to do their work in almost total darkness. Fifteen ambulances waited tho ar- rival of the train at the Paik squors station, which brought the injured from the scene of the wreck. A great crowd had assembled, and a force of police men were nooessary to keep them from crowding onto the tracks. Lined upon tbe Iplatfonu were 14 stretchers, while 80 hospital attend ants and a number ot surgoons were on hand. ' ' ' Daniel O, MoCann, an express mes senger on the New Bedlord train, had his right hand and arm badly lacerated and lus right knoe painfully injured in extricating a man who was pinned be tween tho engine's head plate and tbe flooring of the telosoopod oar.

News has ufct reached here from the Orient that rarly in July there was a battlo between the rebels at Wo Chow and tho imperial Chinese troops, in which the former were victorious. Over 1,600 of the troops werev slafn, and their bodies thrown Into the river. The Do Sing, undor Captain Tboleman, was engaged to take about 1,000 Chinese troops to the scene of the rebellion. ; ,,. From the time the Do Slug left Can ton until she reached Wu Chow, 200 miles up tbe river, Captain Tboleman had trouble with hla crew, the Chinese sympathizing' with' the rebels. One, a j comprador, began inciting them to mu- tiny, and the captain alleges that in self-defense -he was Compelled to shoot the man. Tho comprador died from his wound the next day. Captain Tboleman was-placed under arrest, and as soon as opportunity af forded was sent down the rivor to Can ton. On his journey he was confined in nn iron cage, and on arrival was plaoed in the British jail. On account of tho claim of American citizenship made by. Tholeman, there is a bitter feeling against all Ameri cana io that district ... - MILITARY OCCUPATION. General MnrritS Una Proclaimed Got. eminent for Manila. London, Aug. 23. The Manila cor respondent of the Daily Telegraph, in a dispatch dated Sunday, says: Gen eral Merritt has proclaimed a govern ment of military occupation. .-, The news of the armistice arrived ' on the 16th- I' lB feared that the Americans may restore the Philippines to Spain and thus reinangurate a fresh period of tyranny, extortion and rebellion. The Americana found $800 in the Spanish treasury. Foreign opinion is loud in praise of tbo action ot the American commander in excluding armed rebels from the city. It is believed his firmness saved Manila from pillage. A week ago there appeared to bo a possibility of collision with the rebels, but there is no danger now. Everything is quiet. Mora Troops Arrive.

NEW FOREIGN POLICY Coming Greatness Discussed by National Conference. TIIE NICARAGUA CANAL FAVORED Judge Groereap Kloqnently Dwelle on tho Glories of Conqneat and Tor- ' rltorlal Expansion. i ' Saratoga, Aug." 22. The national sonference on' the foreign policy of the United States opened hero today, with an address by Henry Wado Rogers, of Chicago, chairman of the committee on arrangement. - Rogers said tbe confer ence was called to consider tome momentous questions in the history of the republic He spoke of the war, and returned prayerful thanks for the peace now at band. While peace bas arrived, be said, there were many aorloal prob lems to be considered. Ho referred to the close friendship between Americans and British, which would promptly lead to International arbitration and finally to universal peace. Tho speaker spoke favorably of the Nicaragua canal, which he argued should be built and controlled by the United States governmut. ..Tbe canal would shorten the distance by water to San Franoisco by 12,00) miles. . The question ot the Nicaragua canal was taken op, and Warner Miller took the platform. He briefly spoke of bis per sistent advocacy of the canal. Events of the past three months do- manded the immediate construction. and be believed all Americans were now universally In favor of it. as was also all of Europe. ..He spoke of the numer ous surveys, rcado of every projiosod route to pierce the isthmus, and said the route by tbe way of the Nicaragua canal bas received great consideration ss both feasible and desirable, Mr. Miller roferred to several canals that have materially aided in Opening up the country. - The Nicaragua canal would alone save us 10,000 miles, and would be a great outlet for those states on the Pa cific coast. .The continent is grldirooed 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 the problem. " Within 10 years after the complotion of tbe canal the population of the Pacific states will have increased to 10,000,000. One of tbe best resulti o,f the Spanish-American war ia that it will compel tbe building of the Nic aragua canal. The annexation problom was taken up at the afternoon session. Carl Schurz, of New York, spoke at longtb, ?ivlng tbe views of tbo anti-expansion-sta, whose cause he advocated. He was opposed by Judge Grosscup, of Chicago, who Is an earnest expansionist. Judge Grosscup s Id lo part: "1 am among those who believe that the people of tbe United States can, withoot breach of faith to the promises of our past or jwHous danger to the ex pectations of our future, hold perma r.enly all or a portion ol the territory that has been occupied by our troops during tbe progress of the war. I am ready to go a step ' further and assert that tbe obligations of our duty toward mankind, and especially toward tbe particular peoples who have been drawn within the sphere of our opera tions, and toward the future useful ness of ourselves, demand that we should permanently retain so much of these, the captures of war, as are need ed to round out the moral purposes for which it was Inaugurated, and the greater destiny on which, as a nation, we are about to enter. "As a people, we, for the first time, look clearly over tbe empire of the earth. Without the sacrifice of right eousness or honor, but as the ministers of both, the invitation comes to take our sharo in the opportunities and re sponsibilities of this wider field. The immodiate question, tho cue that, by its solution, will either bring in r bar out of this larger national sphere, re lates io the permanent occupation of our Spanish conquests. The true question is not whether Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines are intrins ically worth the responsibilities in curred by their occupation, but wheth er their commerce and resources will countei balance the new dangers that tholr acquirement would Introduce into our politioal aystora. For 1 see behind them, in the horizon toward which we are beading, looming up from the Pa cifio, mouatainons interests and oppor tunity, against which tho outlines of the Philippines are but a mere speck- ething more than islands, nothing else than a continent. "Within Asia lios the interest and tho opportunity that, by its largeness, dwarfs every other prospect. , I favor the acquisition Of Porto Rico, partly because the moral purpose of this war demand! that it should not longor be a political plague spot In the otherwise purified Caribbean sea, but ohiefly because it ia at the gateway to the Caribbean a sea tbat when the com merce ot Asia Is fully developed and the Nicaragua canal openod 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 tbe Philippines, or so much of thorn as may be needed, sololy because in the new career ot commercial activ ity upon whlob I trust we are about to outer, we need olear across the Pacific a line of naval stations and home poits; stations in every sense our own, carry ing under the soil the American title and over it the American flag." The Spanish armada consisted of 133 Ships, 8,165 cannon, 8,700 sailors, 81.865 soldier.. HAS TBS2B TUBES TK2 CIKC17LATIO OF ANT- PAPEB 1M THSXOPKTT. Ill iU . , . " il .TTT7r A."

A special dis patch to the Tribune from Washington aayas Adjntant-Genorai Oorbin said la an interview that be was going to mow tor out between 76,000 and 100,000 vol unteers as soon as practicable. ; Tbe selection of the regiments will not be made arbitrarily, but having in mind, first of all, tbe reports of the regular army officers now with the volunteers. Tbe highest consideration will ba given the wishes of governors, as well as ol the regiments themselves. The Inter ests of the national government demand the disbandmcnt Of troops secured un der the second call in certain instances, and in other cases regiruente raised un der the first call, which have had ser vice and which have been materially reduced In effioiency 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 the force to be mustered out for some time to come. ,. On the contrary, as soon as an agreement Is reached regarding any particular regi ment, it will be immediately sent to the state camp, and as soon as its prop erty can be turned over to the govern ment and its accounts settled, tbe indi vidual records of its officers and men will be completed and they will be dis charged from service under tbe United States. The only mustering out orders issued up to the present time relate to the First Vermont Infantry. It was originally proposed that the regiments organized under the second call which bad sot left their states should be immediately disbanded, and tfiis plan will probably be followed out with very few exceptions.
