Two cars, one driVfeh by electric power, approached the intersection and, being unable to stop, collided at right angles, the horse car turning over and causing the wildest confusion ittside. The top was crowded With passengers, who •were thrown into a heap and cut in the hands and faces by broken glass. The accident was witnessed by a crowd of holiday makers, the occasion being  Assumption fete. The onlookers ralsea a cry of terror wh'ett tbip cars collided with a telrrible crash. A quarter of an hour elapsed before it was possible to clear the interior of the horse car of wounded, the helpers expecting every moment to find some of them dead. Fortunately there were no fatalities, and none of the injured is likely to succumb. Th£ injuries consist mainly of cuts, bruises and sprains. Brjnn Bound for Home. Special to the GAaarra. ' TWO DAYS ONLY Evans Bros. Des Moines, la., Aug. 16.—Wm. J. Bryan and party arrived this morning trom Chicago, en route to Lincoln, Neb. Deaplte the fact that It baa rained continuously since the train left Chicago, large crowds tnrned ont In many places to greet the Nebraskan. Bryan expressed satisfaction over the press reports from the antllmperlallst gathering at Indianapolis. "Japan demands.that General Young Lu shall meet the allies outside the city gates and deliver the ministers and ail the native Christians." The government has hot received one message from Mr. Conger which bore evidence of being a response tb any of the telegrams sent to him by the state department. Messages from the ministers have been transmitted through Consul Ragsdale, General Chaffee and other American olficials in China, but the government has no positive knowledge that these did not first pass through the hands of Chinese officials. Some of these dispatches also have come to the authorities here in such shape that it was impossible to translate all the symbols into plain English. t It is regarded as suspicious that parts of the latest Conger messages to the same effect, one delivered by the Chinese minister and the other forwarded by the United States consul at Chefn, could not be translated from the cipher code.' No doubt is felt that the messages were written by Mr. Conger, and the belief | held by the state department recently, that the Chinese had a copy of the diplomatic cipher book, has passed away, but there has never been a time when dispatches in the state department cipher were so generally mangled, and the difficulties of translation have become so great that the officials are becinaiitg to believe that the cipher has I been intentionally transposed. I Tbe untranslatable port of the Conger message received on Tuesday may answer the questions which Acting Secretary of State Adee asked the American minister in his telegram of Aug. 8. The officials suggested that as reasonable. Some of the translated information contained in the message delivered through Minister Wu has not become public. Officials admit that it is of a character which compels its suppression. They say that even if the newspapers obtained it they would hardly publish it on account of Its nature, but they decllue to indicate its purport in any definite way. Nothlnjr Direct From Conner.
