The St. Louis express, on the Wabash road, which left here Saturday evening, plunged through a trestle near Mis sourl City, Mo., at live minutes after 7 o'clock, carrying down four cars. The gorge, which a few hours pre viously was practically empty' had become a roaring torrent by a tre nicndous downpour of rain, and the structure was weakeued. The num ber of dead Is estimated at from 0 to 25. The known dead number nine. LATEK. Seven colli ns were forwarded to St. Louis from Missouri City. They con tained the remains of the victims. A corrected list of the dead Is as follows: V.. S. Mills, postal clerk, St. Louis; O. M. Smith, postal clerk, St. Louis; Gus tavo A. Smith, postal clerk, St. Louis: Charles Winters, postal clerk, St. Louis; F. W. Brink, postal clerk, St. Louis; Edward Grindrode, baggage man, St. Louis; Charles P. Greasley, brakeman, St. Louis. The conductor of the train, C. C. Copeland, of St. Louis, who was re ported among the dead, is still alive. He was removed to the hospital at Moberly with a fractured skull and several ribs broken. He lingers be tween life and death, but the surgeons express a hope that ho will recover. Conductor Copeland was supposed to be dead when taken from the wreck, and his body, with a handkerchief drawn over the face, was ranged In a row with the seven dead corpses. A few minutes later some one observed a sign of life, and he was quickly transferred t a stretcher and given every possible attention. Of the mothers Injured, not one is In a critical condition. Among them all there is not one broken limb, though many of them were thrown three-quartors of the length of the coaches in which they wore riding. Mrs. Wllkius, of Kansas City, is the most seriously hurt. Two small bones of her left hand are broken, and she suffered a severe laceration of the thigh, as well as bruises about the face and neck. The wounds of most of the others arc trivial. All indications arc that death came to at least four of tht live unfortunate mail clerks almost instantly. The remains of the four were car ried from the wreck, and weio recov ered some distance down the stream. There were signs of life in the body or the fifth mall clerk when rescuers dragged him from the wreck, but he died a lew minutes later on the bank of the creek. It was feared there were more bodies In the stream, but a careful search proved that fatalities were limited to those already named, but a small stream was ilowlng beneath the trestle where the wreck occurred. In ordinary weather It Is a dry creek bed. The postal authorities report that probably nearly all of the mall carried on the train was lost or destroyed. When the wreck occurred, the five postal clerks are supposed to have had all of their pouches open, and to have been at work distributing the mall. The car was so broken and splintered that most of the mail floated oil. The Wabash train each evening carries all of Kansas City's mall for the east, and it Is always heavy and valuable. Before any one could realize what had happened, the cries of the Injured tilled thcalr. Shrieks for help camo from all sides. Some one shouted that the wreck was on fire, and an other shouted that a freight trald was following closely. One young man In the rear coach sprang off and ran back down the track and with an umbrella ilagged a freight train that was close in the rear, and the crew of the train hurried down to render what aid was possible. One Guess for every yellow ticket in every package of Schillings Dost tea.

Ai8 As soon as Engineer Billy Carlisle realized whathad happened, he hur ried to Missouri City and reported the wreck. A. wrecking crew left Mobcrly shortly after. Twenty minutes after "le, wrock, .f'; n 8pcc,nl doctors left Mobcrly and made one of the quickest trips ever made over the lino to the scene of the wreck. Tho worst damage was done In the chair car. Conductor Copeland had just entered the front door of that coach when it went down. The jolt of tho sleeping-car behind and under it sent tho occupants of the chair car in a pile down at the front. Chairs went tumbling down along with tho people, and beneath tho mass Con ductor Copclaud met his death. A heavy chair struck him and crushed his head, while a score of other pcoplo were plied above him. The brakeman and news agent were lu the smoker and went down with It. "It was the worst sight lever saw," said J. J. Kelly, of the Kelly Bros., Cooperago company, of Kansas City. "I was la the front car going to Ex celsior Springs. Wo were directly be hind the sleeper, and we stopped with a suddeness that bumped us about a bit. Wc heard cries and shouts, and hurried out Into the rain 10 sco what had happened, in the Hash of light ning we could sec the wreck piled up In an awful shape, while the raging waters went foaming and tearing over and through the care. 1 never saw a more frightful picture. Cries came from all parts of the wreck, and peo ple were climblngand hurrying out of it, Men with blood streaming from them came struggling out, and women covered with blood plteonsly appealed for holp. Evcryboby helped as soon as we could see what could bo doQC, but It was something awful, men were pinioned beneath great masses of seats, timbers were broken, and it was agony unspeakable to get them out' hub those who could render assistance did all that was possible. There N no telling how many people are down In tho water. It was from 0 to 10 feet deep, and the current was very swift." A farmer living near Missouri City, perceiving that the Hood was weaken ing the bridge, waited for several hours In the rain to Hag the train, but when the critical, moment came, ho signaled In vain, for the engineer did not seo his signal. This was due to tho terrific downpour of rain at the time. A BATTLE IN CRETE. Many Christians and Turks Killed Near Canea. Canea, Crete, June 28. An armed force of 1,200 Mussulmans made a sortie from Canea and crossed the military cordon and surprised the In surgents at Kanllkastelll, three hours distant. A desperate combat ensued, In which 111 Mussumans were killed and 12 wounded. Tho Christian In habitants of tlic district arc prepar ing to make reprisals by land and M?a. Latet advices show that many Chris tians were killed as well as many Turks In engagements that proceeded the principal fighting in Kanltkas tells, The trouble arose from the enroach mentsof the Mussulman refuges, who attempted to pasture their cattlo within the limits of the neutral zone.

INSURGENT HKIHWAYMEN. Havana, June 28. via Key West. A stage coach bound from Havana for San Joso dc las Lajas, a nearby settlement, was stopped on tho road by a largo band of Insurgents, who killed with their machetes tho 18 scouts who were escorting the coach, six guerrillas, one Spanish otllcer, a doctor, a carpenter, and three other passeugers who attempted to savo their lives by light. Tho only occu pants of the coach who were not kcllcd by the Insurgents were a woman and a child. The Insurgents captured a considerable amoutitof private booty, 817,000 worth of medicine, aud $3)00 In cash. They also secured a convoy consisting of two carts laden with provisions and supplies.

Ho has also demanded from Sptln -10,000 addi tional troops to reach Cuba by Sep tember 1. Tho rainy season will be drawing to a close then, and It goes to prove the assertion that he will make the effort of his life to conquer the Insurgents.

Fears American Intervention The Kaiser Worriod Immigration Schomo Throatoned. London, June 28. Tho Spectators publishes a lung leading aitlcle on Emperor William's remarks as re corded by tho Paris correspondent of tho Tlmas on Monday last and then cabled to tho Associated press. Tho correspondent reported a conversation affecting to rcprcsont tho views of tho emperor, In tho course of which, speaking of his anxiety as to tho fu ture of Europe, he said that hodld not fear Chinese ambition or tho anarch ists, but he did fear tho expansion of one or the great powers and tho Inter vention of Mio United States In the affairs of tho Old World. Tho Spec tator says: "This Is so Important that wc would give much to know precisely what Is lu the kaiser's brain. Tho kaiser has displayed at times singu lar gleams of Insight. Tho facts of tho moment uppcar to Justify his en igmatic saying. Tho Americans aro exhibiting a tendency to depart from their policy of seclusion and in terfere very strongly lu the affairs of tho Old World." Continuing, tho Spectator Instances Venezuela, Samoua and Hawaii, add ing: "And they aro apparantly going to Intorfcro with Spain In tho most per emptory manner. If thero Is any truths in tho account of Instructions given to General Woodford, tho United States Intends to Immedi ately offer an ultimatum to Spain by practically refusing her permission to suppress a rovolt In her own domin ion. Tho last event seems to havo very badly Impressed tho kaiser, and tho emperor's remarks throughout dealt with tho perils which It was his object to avert. Docs ho propose to avert American intervention in tho affairs of tho Old World? If ho does, President Me Klnley must l)o cautious In his diplo macy, for tho German and Spanish fleets combined would bo moro than a match for any ilect America could produce without an offort which would tax tho resources of tho Union, not In money, but In ships and sailors. Tho union Is Irresistible, and Cuba would be a poor reward for a great and dangerous sea war. "It Is not certain Germany has it motive for such an alliance, but tho United States, with Monroeism Is nearly as much In tho way or tho pow ens desiring to expand as Great Brit ain. Overcrowded Europe finds that the forclgh policy of tho United States debars them from colonizing South America with burnlus popula tion. But the natural placu fur Ger mans Is In South Brazil, and, now that the government Is In a position to direct the tldo of Immigrants west, we should not be Murprlhcd to see tho already powerful colony suddonly and amazingly enlarged." In Probate Court. In the matter of the guardianship of Kobort and Daniel Zollnor, miners. Josoph Zollner, the guardian, today filed his semi-annual report with County Clerk L. V. Khlcn.

FOREIGN NIL A Halt in tho Tariff Debate. Senate Starts to Overhaul tho Items That Woro Passed Over, THE DAY IN DETAIL. Washington, June 28. Tho inV tendance of senators at the opening, Saturday was very meager, and as the Uirlff bill was about to bo taken up Vest called attention to tho ab senco or a quorum. Firtcon minutes were required to secure one. Harris of Kansas presented there port on Pad lie railroads agreed to by the committee ou Paclllo rallroals yesterday. Morgan, whoencurred In tho re port, said th'i situation demanded lm mediate action, as tho agreement made by tho cxeoutlvo branch relative to tho sale of tho road on foreclosure ut tho minimum prlco was about to bo consummated. Ho.anuounccd that on Monday ho would ask tho senate to consider the subject. Allison Bald ho hoped tho Alabama senator would take no action tending to delay the tariff bill, as It was most desirable to get tho tariff bill Into conference, and ho said therefore ho felt compelled to resist tho taking up or any other business until tho tariff was disposed or. Tho resolution then went to tho calendar and tho tariff bill was taken up. A contest aroso ovor paragraph 1, acids! Allison asked to restore salicylic acid to tho dutlablo list. Vest resisted at consldorablo longth, Tho amendment was agreed to, 30 to 20. At this point an Inoldont with rofcrenco to tho sugar schcdulo oc curred. A letter from tho secretary of tho treasury gavo Information as to cortalu sugar drawbacks In this connection, Caffroy took occasion to explain statements ho had made that tho olllclal information furnished by Secretary Carlisle as to tho amount ui iuw sugar requircu to make a pound or rollncd sugar that had como from tho sugar refiners. Ills Information, ho said, has como from tho treasury olllclal, who was recog nized as tho sugar oxpert. Wl.Ho In volving no personal reflections, yet It established that tho treasury reports camo from sugar refineries olthcr be longing to tho trust or under the In fluence of Mio trust. Lindsay stated ho had forniorly said that his friend from Kentucky (Carlisle) had necessarily derived this Information from the rcflnors, which now appeared to be established, Allison cauted somo amusement by saying his only dcslro was to protect tne secretary of the treasury (Carlisle) from tho rcllcotlons of tho scnutoro from Kentucky and Louisiana (Lind say and Caffcry). Ills Information was that tho secretary's figures wcro based on reports from tho Now York customs exports. Caffcry disclaimed that any per sonal reflection wus involved, and at length argued that tho olllclal figures on which tho sugar schedule was based wcro erroneous, "and on this er roneous basis, this whole schcdulo is predicated." After this diversion, the senate camo back to the detailed considera tion of tho bill. Whlto said that when coal was taken up ho would pro pose an amendment allowing a draw back of duty on coal used by American steam vessels.
