KNOBNOSTER, Mo., July 2—Eight per-
sons were killed and at least thirty-six
more or less Injured two miles east of
here today when the fast California spe-
cial ti'flin from St. Louis on the Missouri
Pacific collided with the St. Louis special

All of the killed were on the train from
Kansas City, but eight of the injured
were on the other train. Both trains
were going at full speed.
A Stnmtf, train dispatcher at Sedalla,
issued nn order for the trains to meet
at Knobnoster. Later this order was
changed and the meeting fixed at 1 >a-
monte, seven miles oast or hen*. Whether
the dispatcher at Sedalia failed to do-
liver the order to the St. Louis dis-
patcher, or the Lamonte operator erred
in not flagging the train, or the engineer
of the Sr. Louis train believed the train
on the siding was the one he was to
meet, is a matter for official investiga-
tion.
Two of' the cars on the train from Kan-
sas City were the new type steel mail
wars, Both were derailed and badly
da ill aged.

to the memory of the late President
Grover Cleveland Is a clever move cm the
part of the enemies of William J. Bryan
to Infuse factional feeling into the gen-
eral convention, friends of the Nebraskan
today determined to offer a resolution of
a character designed not to raise con-
troverted political issues. Through con-
trol of the temporary organization of tho
convention Bryan following expects to
have its resolutions brought to the atten-
tion of the delegates immediately after
the speech of the temporary chairman
has boon delivered. In that event the
Parker resolution would have to be
offered as a substitute if submitted at
all, und the Bryan men declare that the
New York delegation would thereby be
placed in the attitude of attempting,
under tho guise of eulogizing a great
party leader, to create strife and dissen-
sion arid make harmony Impossible.

All Democrats without regard to fac-
tional affiliations applaud tho nugget
tlons coming from New York that the
National Convention should embrace the
first opportunity of honoring tho ineinor;.
of Mr. Cleveland, but most of those wlu
have expressed themselves on the sul
Joct. are of the opinion that the resolu
lions adopted should not contain iny-
thlng over which there could bo the
slightest difference of opinion.
The. New York resolution, which was
made public last night, is denounced by
such Bryan leaders as Mayor James C.
Dahhnau of Omaha and Judge M. E.
Wade, of Iowa. They declare that its
adoption would be a direct slap at Bryan
and insist that in giving It out for publi-
cation the New York delegation intended
to disparage the Nebrasn candidate. The
portion of the resolution which particu-
larly aroused the Ire of the friends of
Mr. Bryan relates to Mr. Cleveland's
record on the questions of maintaining
the integrity of the courts and finance,
it being as follows: "He. respected the
integrity of our courts and so Insisted
upon strict enforcement of the law that
every honest man or interest might he
protected and all offenders punished with-
out fear or favor.
"He maintained the public credit and
honor, stood firm as a rock in defense of
sound principles of finance and resisted
dangerous economic doctrines and prac-
tices left by the Republican party as a
heritage to our people."
It was said tori ay hy Mayor Da'hlman
that the expressions are but thinly veiled
attacks upon Mr. Bryan and his well-
known attitude on the question of adopt-
ing an anti-injunction plank and his po-
sition In 1896 and 1900 on the money ques-
tion.
Have No Proper Place There.
These question* have no proper place,"
said Mr. Dahlrnan. "in resolutions in-
tended only to honor the nam«; of the late
Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Bryan's personal
tribute to thfc memory of the late ex-
President was of a character proving
that no man honored Mr. Cleveland more
nor would go farther in giving him credit
for advancing the interest of the Demo-
cratic party. It is true that Mr. Bryan
and Mr. Cleveland had different views on
many questions of party policy, aod with
the rare tact which lie always exhibits
Mr. Bryan refrained from any allusions
that might nrovoke strife in the party.
It is my opinion that the Democratic
National Convention In adjourning ot.it <>r
respect to Mr. Cleveland's memory should
follow Mr. Bryan's example."
The resolutions which have proved
such a bombshell were given out last
night hy the New York delegation before
it started for Denver, and it was not until
the glPt of them, as telegraphed to news- |
papers here, became generally dissemi-
nated today that the possibilities lurking
in them became manifest in their effect
on Mr. Bryan's followers.
What the Other3 Think.
Several members of the committee who
don't care to be quoted publicly did not
hesitate to say that, in their opinion, an
argument in tlie convention over such a
resolution as this would be disgraceful
and injure the party in the eves of the
country. It was therefore determined to
take immediate steps to ward off any
such possibility, and at the instance of
Roger C. Sullivan of Illinois it was do-
sided to prepare a resolution which, while
honoring the memory of Cleveland, would
offer no opportunity for acrimonious dis-
putes in the convention.
The Bryan people have possession of
the temparary organization and derided
that the Cleveland resolution shall be
presented to the convention bv a man
who Will be recognized by Temporary
Chairman Bell immediately after the
conclusion of his speech. If Judge Par-
ker still desires to bring rds resolution
before the convention it must be offered
as a substitute for the one which will be
presented by the Bryan people.
Johnston of Texas Talks.
R. M. Johnston of Texas, member of
the committee on convention arrange-
ments, said today: "If that Parker reso-
lution is' introduced In the convention
it will raise all sorts of a row. Tho
friends of Mr. Bryan don't propose that
under the guise of a resolution honoring
Grover Cleveland, Mr. Bryan shall be
attacked and his policies for the last
twelve years held up to rebuke."
A less seriom view was taken of the
Parker resolution by Frank A. Day, sec-
retary to Governor Johnson and one of
the managers of his « impaign. Mr. Day
said: T certainly think that the con-
vention should adopt a resolution in

LAS ESPERANZAS, Coah., Mex , July
2.—Yesterday at 5 o'clock a. m. an ex-
plosion took place In Slope No. 9, a. mine
belonging to tho Mexican Coal and Coke
Company.
The night shift, composed of some
twenty Mexican and Japanese miners,
was at work underground, and It Is fear-
ed none have survived. Two men on
their way out were within fifty feet of
the surface, ami though alive when res-
cued, were so badly burned that their
lives aro despaired of.
Indications are that dust was the pri-
mary cause of the explosion, the force of
the concussion being so tremendous as
to emit a dense cloud of coal dust and
debris from the mouth of the slope, which
fell some 200 yards distant. *
Relief forces are hard at work recover-
ing the bodies, but it may be thirty-six
hours before the mine can be cleared and
all the dead removed.
The damage to the mine, which is
thought to be great, can only be deter-
mined after careful Inspection. It is
most unfortunate the disaster did not
occur ten minutes later, as tho sacri-
fice of life would have been avoided.

CITY OK MEXICO, July 2.—Mexico
will ask tbe United States to punish
severely the local authorities of Del
Rio, Tex., and possibly others of the
State under whose authority they acted.
The grounds will be that the officers
knowingly failed in their auty by allow-
ing persons who took part in the Las
Vacas raid to return to tbe Texas side
Of the river unintei tVred with and to
bring with them their wounded mem-
bers.
Punishment may also be asked for the
authorities und polleo of Dei Rio for
allowing meetings to be held there for
the purpose of fomenting and planning
raiu, murder and robbery in Mexico.
Investigation Is Being Made.
Tho latter request, however, will bo
contingent upon investigations not yet
completed, which have for their pur-
pose the ascertaining of the amount of
knowledge which trie polico of Del Rio
had of iue meetings.
This new phase of the international
side of the trouble in Northern Mexico
was made known today by Minister
Mariscal of the Foreign Relations De-
partment. Bad faith toward Mexico by
the State of Texas in the recent trouble
is very strongly suspected by the Mexi-
can Government.
"The action of Washington has been
the very best," said Minister Mariscal
today. "Not only has the Called States
Government shown itself willing and
eager to assist Mexico, but took quick
steps to move troops to the border,
evincing a degree of friendliness which
cannot be questioned but admired.
"The sincerity of Texas, however," he
declared, "appears to be another mat-
t er.
"Our doubts hi regard to Texas have
begun to increase with developments.
The failure of local authorities to ar-
rest these men on the absurd ground
that their offense was political, in my
mind, has no tenable excuse. No abso-
lute decision has yet been reached as
to whether complaints will be made, be-
cause the facts in the case have not
thoroughly panned out, and there are
other more important matters for im-
mediate attention, but i am strongly in
clined lo believe that complaints will
be made and punishment asked for."
Meetings Held in Del Rio.
The minister culled attention to the
fact that about 100 men held a series of
meetings in Del Rio, which could hardly
have taken place in secrecy. A largo
number of the raiders also returned to
Del Rio after the trouble and carried
with them wounded men, an act that
could hardly have been performed in
secret.
Mexico will probably ask for the ex-
tradition of a portion of the raiders,
in this regard. Minister Mariscal said
the M» xican Government will wait until
the American Government has dealt
with those offenders whose delinquency
comes under the head of infraction of
fhe neutrality laws. "We will now ask
for those, whose acts were wholly crim-
inal and who should be punished here.
"All the acts performed by tho raid-
ers of Las Vacas and of Palomas were
those which aro defined in the extradi-
tion treaty between the two countries."
He said: "Every claim for a political
coloring to their work of robbery, mur-
der and destruction of private and
Government, property, contrary to rea-
son and facts, is absurd. They had no
plans, no chief and no purpose other
than those to appease the grievances
of a few discontents, who inveigled
these poor, simple people Into becoming
their tools."
Minister Mariscal said that the trouble
is now entirely over.

DEL RIO, Tex., July 2-—Developments
In a conferenco held at Las Vacas, Mex.,.
today between Col. Alberto Donuites, 1
commanding t.lio Mexican forces; Capt.
Agulrro of tho custom office; District
Judge Arredondo, United States District
Attorney Boynton, Marshal Noltn, Capt.
D. Conrad, Third Cavalry, U. 6. A.; L.
T. Elsworth, American Consul at C. P.
Diaz, Mex., und R. W. Do wo, collector of
customs at Eagle Pass, show conditions
to be serious and demanding prompt ac-
tion upon tho part of the Mexican Gov-
ernment.
Following the conference Col. Dorantes
admitted to The Express representative
that the situation had been serious, but
ho thought the forces of the revolution-
ists had been broken and the only trou-
ble expected now Is from small bands
traveling over the State. These, ho claims,
are being pursued by soldiers.
District Attorney Boynton, after the
conference today, said that all matters
pertaining to the uprising along the bor-
der had been Investigated and the two
Governments would co-operate, endeavor-
ing to bring those guilty to justice. It Is
understood warrants will be issued for the
arrest of a number of Mexicans located
on this side of the river tonight.
It is true the uprising in the State of
Coahuila la not the woik of bandits, but
that of well-organized revolutionists,
many of whom are still in the district,
and an outbreak almost any time can be
expected.
The attack on the city of Las Vacas
was well planned, the revolutionists en-
tering the city in three bands, centraliz-
ing their fire In three points. The first
place attacked was the quarters of Cap-
tain Perez, in command of the troops.
Ills quarters were dynamited and one
side of the building blown out. They
were then set on tire. The captain was
shot in the right arm and left leg. The
first struggle lasted four hours, the revo-
lutionists retreating, going Into the hills.
No effort way made by the revolution-
ists to harm tho citizens; they were after
the soldiers and the officers of the city.
Their cry throughout the battle was,
"Down with the officers!" In the fight
the Mexicans lost ten dead and nine in-
jured. Eleven dead revolutionists were
picked up after the battle and all placed
in the same grave, a short distancefrom
the city.
That many of the revolutionists are
still in the district la verified by the re-
ports coming from points along the bor-
der. At Comstock. thirty-five miles west
of here, sixty head of cattle and. a num-
ber of horses were falcon.
Mexican soldiers returning to* lias Vacas
yesterday encountered small bands along
the border, though in each case these es-
caped. Tt is not at all improbable that
another attack will be made on Las
Vacas.
Reports received here tonlglit were to
the effect that firing was again heard
near that town.
