NEW WORK. Nov. 19.-DurinG a dense
iog, a Pennsylvania train ran upon a
-sng OF wurkmen upon the Hackensack
Meadows. Eleven men We're killed and
several others injured.
The train which ran down the work
mel was a local from Midtown to Jer-

gineer John Van Ostrand was endeavor-
ing to make up time. His train was
running at a high rate of speed. he be-
lieving there was nothing to obstruct a
quick run to Jersey City. The first he
knew that his train had run into the
men was when the engine Jared. Then
the cries OF the men We're heard and he
as soon as possible brought his train to a
stop. He made passengers get out and
aid the trainmen III searching for the
bodies of the victims. This was not an
easy task in the thick fog. A train had
passed on the westbound tracks a few
minutes before the eastbound train ran
the men down. The smoke from the
engine of the westbound train went over
on the eastbound track. and the noise of
the westbound train prevented the work.
men on the eastbound track from hear
ing the approach Of the eastbound train.
They We're not aware that the train
was neal them until they had been scat

in the gang and it is reported that not
n escaped injury. They were in charge
of Foreman William Cork of Jersey
City. As soon as the news of the acct
dent reached Jersey City. Pennsylvania
railway officials went I the Meadows
and superintendent the removal of the
dead and injured. When the engine
which struck the laborers reached the
Pennsylvania depot in Jersey City. the
cowcatcher was red with blood from the
men killed. A boy. after the engine had
stopped, picked up a hand from the
~cowcatcher. 1t had been severed from
n Of the victims and had been carried
from the Meadows to the depot on the
c~owcatcher. The killed. it is said. all
resided in Jersey City.

Expression of One of the Ameri.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 19.-Members of
The Anglo-American commission. Can
adams and Americans. expressed the
hope that the commission would COM
plete its labors before the Christmas
holidays. but they are not yet willing to
state that a treaty will be framed COW
ering the many subjects of difference
between the United States and Canada.
Greater progress has been made than is
generally understood. and the rough
drafts of some Of the articles of the pro-
posed treaty have been submitted by
subcommittee and tentatively APP
proved. These. however. cover the
minor questions and the important sub
lectS of the North Atlantic fisheries.
reciprocity and Boring sea remain open.
While the commission treats all state
ments regarding its work as unauthor-
ICED. Yet il is understood by those
acquainted with its work that the Ques-
tons of border immigration, mining
rights, lake fisheries and the Alaskan
Canadian boundary have been found
less difficult of solution than was ex-
pected. and that a basis of agreement
upon these subjects is in sight. if not
actually determined upon. Technically.
however. nothing is done until the last
act Of the commission is performed. SO
that these and all other subjects remain
open until the end. AS to Boring sea.
the view prevails on both sides that a
settlement will be reached.
Reciprocity and Fisheries.
Reciprocity and the Atlantic fisheries
continue to be the los stubborn ques-
rions before the commission. On reel
procity the commissioners DO not ex-
press themselves in sanguine terms.
The subject is still before a subcommit-
tee. which. however, reports when an
agreement Is reached and the full com.
mittee approves what has been done.
There are 50 many articles on a tariff
schedule that discussion, have not vet

specific articles Or groups Of articles.
Thus far the discussion has been rather
free and open. articles being considered

result WAS TO force these goods int
