A passenger train on the " Macon brandi of tjhe Southern railway ran into a washout one and a half miles north of McDon ough, Ga., Saturday night and was completely wrecked. The wreck caught Iflre and the entire train with the ex ception of the sleeper was destroyed. Every person on the train, .except th occupants of the Pullman car, perish ed.

McDon , ough was reached on time. At this point connection is made for Col ambivs, train is coupled on and hauied. through i to Atlanta. Saturday night, however, for the fjrst time in many months, jthe Columbia train was .reported two hojurs late on account of a washout on that branch and the Macon train started: cr& ! to Atlanta without its Columbus con. nection. Tremendous rains of daily , occur rance for the past two weeks have swollen all streams in this part or the south, and several washouts have been reported on the different roads. Carqp'3 creek, which runs into the Ocmulgee, was over its banks and its 'waters had m spread to all the lowlands through "' which U runs. About a mife and; a half north of McDonough, Jthe creeii is somewhat near the Southern's tracks and, running alongside it for some ins tance, finally passes away under the road by a heavy stone culvert. A cloud burst broke over that section of the country-about 6 o'clock and presuma bly, shortly after dark, washed out a section of the track, nearly 100 feet iu length, into this the swiftly moving train plunged. There' was not a' note" of warning. Th storm was still raging and all the car windows were closed. The passen- '? j gers, secure as they thought, tfad shel tered cofortabiy from the inclement weather, went to death without an In stant's warning. The train, consisting of a baggage car, second coach, flrst- : class coach and a Pullman sleeper, was -knocked into kindling wood by the fall. The wreck caught .fire a few minutes after the fall and all the coaches were burned except the Pullman car. Every person on the train except the occupants of the Pullman car perished in the disaster. For a brief lime there was silence. Then the occupants of the Pullman rat recovered from their bewilderment and after hard work managed to got ut of their car and found themselves on hA track in the pouring rain. The ex tent of the catastrophe was quickly ap parent. . Flames were already coming from that part of the wreckage not covered by the water. As the wreck began to go to pieces under the destructive work of both fire and flood 'human bodies floated out from the mass and were carried down stream by the swift current. -rv,r. otorrr. did not abate in fury. Flashes of lightning added to the steady glow of the burjilng train and lit up the scene with fearful distinct- r-m 'rVnlnlan u'ho was Otie: Of The Acreage 1$ Not Increased As Much As Is Indicated. Commissioner of Agriculture Patter son says that he finds the increase in the cotton acreage in the state to very closely approximate ten per cent, and that he thinks this more just than the eighteen per cent, the unrevised report gave. It also nearly corresponds witn the average table as made up an May. The condition of cotton is eighty-nine per cent. Though the Jure crop report, as taD- ulated by the State Agricultural de partment, shows an increase of 18 pei cent, in the cotton acreage, Commis sioner Patterson considers this is far above the mark. I think the increase . will not bo more than. 10 per cent," he said, ine report for June placing it at 18 per cent, was given out without my knowl edge, and was based 5n the returns made to this office without considera tion of the locality from which they came.

Very little injury by insects is re ported, though some fears of rust are expressed if the present wet and tool weather continues. A few counties report a scarcity of labor. Altneether. Mr. Patterson thinks, the establishment of a new govern ient. controlled by the civilized na tions. Attempts to restore the Em press on the basis of her promise o good behavior would make the position of the foreigners worse than ever. A popular plan is the restoration of the Emperor, if found alive. With liberal advisers he could be held subject to strict supervision by some council representing the, foreign powers. . n Personal punishment of the highest of ficials concerned In the .irt.-forin movement is considered essential. In terest is focussed on Russia and America. It is the universal beller that Russia .instigated rioting, expect ing to march an' army to Pekin and proclaim herself protector of China, under the guise of restoring order, but achieved a fiasco on account of the prompt action of the other powers. America, which is considered ao hold the key to the solution because oi be ing beyond suspicion of land-grabbing motives, is in the best position to take the lead in making proposals for a perv manent arrangement. There is a prac tical Anglo-American alliance in China. The commercial organizations of both nationalities arc urging their respec tive governments to hurry more troops. The presence of enough soldiers to en force the demands upon China, besides being a check to the ambitions of rival powers, is deemed vital. There is an insufficient number of English trocpa available to protect the interests at stake in the .treaty ports. The English and Americans confidently expect that several regiments will be sent from th Philippines without delay. No confidence is expressed in L.I Hung Chang, who is expected to follow whatever policy is likely to result in personal aggrandizement.
