Depuw wa published in a London paper on Sunday morning. Depcw deprecated tho suggestion that he was likely to bo the niau to cham-pion tho republican cause in the next presidential election in the United States. He said that he believed Har-rison would carry tho ulection as the republican candnlato. "Mr. Maine." be continued, "is the strongest man politically and most pop-ular, but still, in my belief, Harrison will be renominated. That is my de-cided opinion, no matter what candi-dates other thau Harrison may be spoken about." When asked who the democrats wore likely to nominate, Depew, premising that hespoke a year in advance of the nomination, said hn believed that Cleveland was the most likely candi-dates, but that the democrats would not be so unanimous for Cleveland as the republicans would he for their candi-date. Hard times, Depew said, would disappear under the assured prosperity of the farmers. The McKiuley tariff would do a very great deal to carry the election for the republioaus. Kspeoi-al'- y would the reciprocity clause do a great deal. Harrison would win on the tariif sad silver questions. Cer-tnitil- y tlm republicans erred in passing the Mi Kinley bill just belorti the elec-tion. The worst effects of the bill were felt at once, just in time to cause a re-publican defeat, lint it was not a dem-ocratic majority, but a majority of democrats aud cranks. "American politics were very mixed just then," continued Mr. Depew. "Now they iire clarifying, aud the benelitsof the MoKinlcy law are boing felt. As an illustration the Farmer' a Alliance is the outcome." "Then I am to understand the repub-licans will stand strongly on the tariff iuestion?" "Certainly you will ask m what programme the democrats will oppos us on. This point they will advocate, a modified freo trade, tarilT for revenue, not protection, guflicient tariff to keep tho government going, without any regard for the of Amer- - ican industry. Now let mo pass to what will be tlie second plank in the fight for l'resident. I mean the silver question or bimetallism as you would call it in England. Upon the silver question we are practically unanimous, while tlie democrats are divided among themselves. What will be the republican position" Siiorty that we shall coin only the silver pro-duced iu America. Hy this rneauv we should keep ourselves on a gold basis' which is tho standing basis of the world. The democrats will propose t coin all the silver, not only what is produced in America, but also what comes into the country. They would make silver equal to gold, which we republicans say wou'd ultimately swell confusion and bankruptcy. The democrats say it would mean an im-provement in thu Mate of.tiida.and lu the conditions of the people, since there would be a freer circulation of cur-rency." "One last question Mr. Depow, not connected with American politics, but exceedingly interesting to the com-mercial people of England, why have American rails been going down re-cently on tho stock exchange!" "I can explain that in a sentence. The tendency downward is merely tem-porary. We bave sent $7:1.000,000 in gold to Europe within the past few months, and money went west to move the crops. Consequently there resulted a stringency of gold in New V'ork. Whenever that occurs rails go down. Now good crops are assured, gold is returning aud American rails will shortly be beter than ever before." DEATH ON Till-- HAIL. Two Hundred Peoplo Zilled or Injured iu the Collision at St, M&nda Yesterday. MANY ABE BURNED TO A CINDER. Masfi of CLarred Litubi and Human Ashes Piled h the Town Hall Othur Accidonts on the Bail.

Today the town ball of St. Mamie presents a fearful spectacle. The black-ened bodies lie in rows upon the Door and tables. In somo cases the remains are little more than a heap of cinders inlermived with portions of limbs. One pile of charred limbs and human cin-ders is especially conspicuous, consist-ing of a mass unidentilied aud uncon-nected bodies placed in a heap. l.i' l'ii,r,s states that the investigation into tho St. Maude accident disclosed the faet that the disaster wim caused hy an unknown miscreant, who deliber-ately altered tile signals so s to bring tho trains into collision.

Ked lights were not promptly placed on lha rear car, aud just as the train was pulling out a heavy freight came iu at Miigh rate of speed. It was too lato ,i stop the freight aud in an instant irtho crash came. The two rear cars of theeexcursion train were hurled into tho ditch. The next, coach was struck fairly in the end and the locomotivo uushimr under, elo- - vated it to an angle of torty-tiv- e de-grees, and there it stood filled with shrieking people. This car caught lire, but Engineer Sehwind and the lireman were aide to axtinguish the blaze by using a hose from the locomotives. Two cars lay crushed in the ditch with a mass of maimed aud mingled people tiioiiuing in agony, pleading for help. Legs, arms aud heads could have been seen through the broken windows, or penned under the wreck. Moans of helpless sufferers, mingick with frantic cries of mothers seeking husbands and children, many of them being by glass and timbers in the rush to escape, and bloody faces ami hands bore ghastly testimony to tho gruat number of iu- - jured.
