OF RAIN SPAIN. Collision Between Passenger Train and Electric Car. ONE PASSENGER WAS KILLED Eighteen Were Injure«!, Several of T lie in Severely The Victim» Were Thrown Into the Bay. Seattle, .May 31.—A collision occur red tiiis morning near the Washington iron works between a Grant-street eleo- tric car. containing, as near as can be learned, 25 people, and the local Olym pia Northern Pacific passenger train. One man wus killed, Emanuel Broad, aged 35, a laborer, of South Se attle. He died while being taken to the hospital. Eighteen were injured. The electric car was just coming into the city and the train was just start ing out for Olympia. They met nearly head-on at the intersection of the two tracks. The passengers of the electric car were nearly all thrown into the bay where the water was nearly 15 feet deep. It is a wonder that no one was drowned during the panic that followed the collision. So far as known every one is accounted for. When Motorman Sharpe saw the train approaching, he applied the brake with all his power, but the track was slippery and his car crashed into the locomotive. The passengers made frantic efforts to get off the car. The motorman and conductor succeeded in jumping off the platform, but an in stant later the engine crashed into the street car, and nearly all the people were thrown into the water below, in cluding the man who was fatally in jured. Although lie succeeded in get ting off the ear, he did not succeed in getting out of tho way, and when the engine hit the car he was struck by it and knocked into the water. Without a moment’s hesitation, although ter ribly injured internally, he promptly grabbed a pile and held it. Seeing tiiat another passenger on the train was about to sink, the injured man grabbed him with hie free hand and held him until a rope could be letdown and both of them hauled up. As quicklv as possible the train was stopped and the train crew, assisted by employes of the Washington iron [ works, made heroic efforts to get the frightened passengers out of the water. With ropes and boards everyone was quickly taken out. Some were found clinging to piles, some were struggling and swimming about, and others were crawling up the piles anil timbers. Everything was in the direst confu sion. The wrecked electric car lay on its side, almost at right angles with the rails, while the passenger train was some 60 feet distant from where the electric car lay. The locomotive head light was broken, and the cowcatcher badly deranged, while the whole front end was covered with broken glass and PRESIDENT'S debris from the electric car. Railroad« In Alaska.

Washington, May 31.—The presi dent has been anxious to meet all the troops who served in the Philippines, if this were practicable, and he has agreed to go to Minneapolis and St. Paul to greet the Minnesota volunteers. With the possibility that the presi dent might be unable to continue his trip birther west, the Twin cities have undertaken to arrange for mobilization of all the volunteers as their guests. The first tioops are expected to arrive at San Francisco the middle of June and the last by August 1. The jubilee therefore probably will occur early in August. The president’s acceptance of this invitation does not necessarily mean that he has abandoned his con templated trip to the coast. STEADMAN’S Will Be Called in DEAD Upon to Illinois.

Coverack, England, May 30.—The ninth attempt to float the American liner Paris was made this evening, and proved an utter failure. Her bow is absolutely impaled by the rocks. Five mgs were used in the endeavor to tow ibe Paris off, three others standing by ar an emergency. HINDRANCE. General Otis rropo.e. to Wage an Ag gressive Campaign- Ahe Will Apologetically Repudiate In terest on Cuban Bond«. New York, May 31.—The Times’ London financial correspondent cables: Paris has at last betrayed symptoms of tiredness. The French are marvel ous people, the most painfully thrifty in the world, but even they cannot supply means for all the follies to which they are invited to subscribe. Early last week some of their indus trial paper structures began to crum ble, and suddenly tho bourse found itself overloaded in many directions. It has been sulky ever since, ami twice during the week it looked almost disposed to abandon Spanish invest ments. Poor old Spain seems about to throw up the sponge and apologetically repudiate. No one expected any gov ernment official to admit bankruptcy squarely; your Spaniards has far too much dignity to do anything of the soil. But an indirect admission does just as well, so the next debt coupon is not to be paid until the cortes votes the new budget with fresh taxes, which is not a job of lightning express order. Worse still, in some respects, the government lrrs viciously kicked the Bank of Spain, so that it may die j of ill usage. Spain has no commerce to speak ot, except what foreigners con duct. The Bank of Spain has there fore, levied on the government by the simple process of making it advances as required out of increased issue of notes. The security given consisted of Cuban bonds, treasury notes and 4 per cent redeemable bonds. The in- 1 terest on the Cuban bonds has been frankly suspended, that on all the other debt has been postponed, and— harder treatment than it, if possible— the redemption draw ings on redeemable bonds have been stopped. The result is that the bank is stranded high and dry, with assets of perhaps £35,000 I represented merely by government promises to "manaria.’’ The only consolation is that the redudiation was done with high Span ish dignity. The government had no more use for the bank, because it could not get any more notes, therefore it is left lying like a spent mule. The term of the French banks comes next. They hold nearly the whole of the Spanish external debt and some Cuban bonds, and have made splendid profits out of the business in the past, especially out of venturesome bears. I Both England and the United States paid them heavy fines for rash sales on the outbreak of the last war. We cer tainly did, and for many years past British bears have been periodically trapped and sheared by these skillful French financiers. They can therefore afford to lose a few millions and still have onough for “soupe maigre. ” But lose they must, because their very success in the past leaves them with all the bonds and no market to negoti ate upon. The Paris bourse is conse quently pretty certain to be limp and wabbly for some time, if it does not actually collapse. NO Manila. May 30. —In spite of the general impression to the contrary.
