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.

WESTERN
TRIP.
Volunteers May All Be Mobilized in St-
Paul and Minneapolis.
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.

He escaped and went East. He was
arrested for a crime in Chicago aud

General Otis rropo.e. to Wage an Ag

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

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.
