Dexver, Col., February '25.?This
morning near Colton, Neb., two trains
on the I'nion Pacific road collided with
terrible force, tho engines telescoping
j each other and the cars piling up on top
I of the wreck, which immediately took
fire, burning a large number of cars?
including tho baggage, express, two Pull?
man, snd one emigrant car. The heat
from the fire waa so intense that all tbe
telegraph-wires running alongside the
track were melted.
All on board escaped with slight
bruises, excepting Engineer Powell, who
was instantly killed. The passengers
wno were not injured assisted those who
were caught in the wreck to escape snd
soon had them all out and at the hotel,
where all were reported doing well, none
being seriously injured. The company
soon had wrecking*traine on the ground,
and the track waa cleared by 8 o'clock

Europe makes ita successive develop?
ments in the Ufheot aagrat inter, stim- ;
but ev.-rylvidy recognizes the fact that
the ultimate ir-stie is war. whatever tem
iHirary advantage diplomatic trickery
may achieve. Ihe P.ismarck-Kulnoky
combination may soon entrap liussia
into a false pCftitioB from which only
submission with supremo humiliation
can rescue her unless she prefers war with
incomplete ju-epirations, or the Czar's
ads i-.-rs may manage to postpone the
final crisis "until they deem that the
fitting moment to atrike has come. In
pitying this waiting gnuie Hiissia hui
scored the fast SBeeess.
Bismarck's formal invitation to the
Czar to demand the restitution of Roa
eian preponderance in Unlgsria conceal
i*i] ben.-ith its Ityareat frankness a pit?
fall for Russian diplomacy. If the
had interpreted the invitation to mean
that Russia was free to restore her status
in Bulgaria by force the crisis would
have been precipitated, and Russia would
have been drawn into the fighting
allies trap. This has been avoided, and
the protracted comedy of negotiations
will now be preceded ly the tngt dy of
war. There will be much wearisome
yea*r*ning about collective not*?, differ*
ences uinonvst tho bowers, concert of
Powers for the deposition of Prince Fer?
dinand, concessions of isus^ia, adhesions
by Austria, and so forth ; but amid them
nil the situation will remain unchanged.
The Porte may condescend to ihe mock?
ery of denouncing Ferdinand if tho
Powers decide to declare that the order
of things in Bulgaria ia not quito in ac?
cordance with the berlin treaty : but the
result will be nothing. Prince Ferdinand
will not sue -11111111111 he boasted by force.
Tho central Possets will Beeept D

Czar ena propose, aleonwhile 'Russia
has taken I Ivantacc of the iblay to

alliance, to extend tim mobilization of

nothing of an official character was al

however, st ito thal the Crown Prince's
bronchial irritation appears to he compli?
cated with lung disorder, partly arising
from pus secretions on the bronchia,
which nave affected the tanga Theoffi*
cial opinion in Berlin has become utterly
despairing. No weight stanches, to the
bulletins issued bv tho doctors in tin*
face of known facts. Advices received
at the palace do not cone*-.il the critical
state of the Crown Prince. Professor Ger?
hardt has not gone lo San lsVmo. He
takes a discouraging view of tba Crown
Prince's condition. He is convinced
that tho milady is running its coin- ?.
Other Berlin medical experts concur in
the belief that n fatal termination it in
evitable within three months, and piobo
bly much sooner.
The feeling in Oermany is growing
strong that Prince William ought to dis?
play greater interest in his father's state.
Court circles know that the Prince's
anxiety and sympathies are iiit.*ns.*, hal
thut he has been prevented from going
to Boo Hemo by State exigencies Allu?
sions to thc regency continue to appear,
but Ihe papen hat i not the *
basis for their statements in anything
tl mt has occurred officially. Meantime
the question is entirely wanting in uc
tualty. The Prussian Constitution pro?
vides perfectly for all possibilities arising
from the death of the Km-H-ror and the
concurrent incapacity of tbe Crown Prince
to rule. Under Article 66 Prince Wil?
liam, as Major Agnate, will become Pe
gent, tho landtag affirming his title.
Doubt 1ms arisen as to what would hap?
pen if the Crown Prince, should he con?
tinue ill and incapable ol' discharging the
functions of Emperor when the throne
may become vacant, refused to eontenl
to tbe regency. The dilemma would un?
doubtedly be attended with serious offi?
cial trouble, but would end in the Land?
tag supporting Bismarck's initiative in
confirming Prince William as regent
The Em'ieror keeps in vigorous
health. He wiis deeply touched at the
death of his grandson. Prince Louis
was a great favorite of his and the Em?
peror cried bitterly when he beard the
news of his grandson's death. Ihe
court will go into mourning until the
14th of March. Luring the week the
Emperor has several times, while sainting
a crowd from his window in the palace,
been accompanied by the Crown Prince's
three toni. Once tlie whole family,
the Princess, William, and the aged Pin
press, were seen grouped around the Em?
peror. This mado the spectators wild
with enthusiasm.
The depreciation in Russian paper
roubles is the absorbing interest in finan?
cial circles. Many private families,
whose whole fortunes are invested in
Russian s* curdies, are in a state of great
anxiety. The best financial houses view
the situation with serious misgivings.
