Three People Killed and Over Fifty
Badly Injured.

ROCHESTER,, May 1.-The most dis
astrous railroad wreck that has hap
pened on a Rochester railroad occurred
on the Rochester and Lake Ontario
railroad, better known as the Bay rail-
road, at Rosenbauer's Corners, about
one-half miles north of the city line,
when two cars on an excursion train,
filled with passengers, left the track
while going around a curve at full
speed, and were completely wrecked.
over so persons were injured, three
are dead and at least dozen are IA
tally injured.
The following is partial list of the
dead and injured:
The scene which followed was heart
rending in the extreme. The means
and shrieks of the injured filled the
air and sickening sight met the eye.
The work Of rescue was energetically
carried on and as soon as each sufferer
was taken out he was sent to the hos
pital.
Ambulances had been quickly sum-
moned from the city and although it
was long run, remarkably quick time
was made. The ambulances carried
extra doctors so that the wounded were
quickly attended to and the more Sc
riously hurt were hastily removed to
the several hospitals.

PROMISES MADE FILIPlNOS.
They VIII lie Allowed to Have Almost
Complete Control of Local Affairs

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The stat
department has received a long report
by cable from President Schurman of
the Philippine commission of the con-
ference that was held at Manila Sat
urday, between the members of the
commission and the representatives of
AguinaldO. The text of the dispatch
was not made public, but it was stated
that Mr.. Schurman's report agreed
precisely with the press statement of
the proceedings in the conference as
cabled from Manila.
1t is declared at the state department
that the proclamation issued by the
Philippine commission just before the
beginning of the last campaign pre-
sents the maximum concessions to be
made to the insurgents by the United
States government. The United States
government is willing to accord the ma
tives an opportunity to test their abil-
tiles, for the Philippine commission
proposes to allow them almost complete
control of their local affairs The ex-
pertinent is already in progress at
some points in the Philippines outside
the Island of Luzon.
So far as the reports indicate, these
experiments are working well and
promise to have a good influence in
shaping the attitude towards the Unit
ed States of a considerable element
among the Filipinos, which has been
suspicious of our intentions.

nishing the ships, the Vickers company
the guns and the third concern supply
ing the armor.
1tWas stated that whatever combina-
tion may be brought about it will not

ers' Sons & Maxim interests with the
Cramps in a new corporation at the
Cramps present location in this city.
The name suggested is the Cramps Vic
kers company.
The capital of the consolidation, it
was stated, would not be excessive. but
would be large enough to provide for a
great extension of business. The au-
thorized capital of the Cramps is s5,-

Thomas Dolan, one of the directors
OF the Cramp company, did not deny

dition of business.
NEW YORK, April 80. 9.-Bradstreets S
says: Favorable weather conditions
find reflection in reports of good retail
distribution of spring and summer
goods and in fair filling in orders from
iobbers. Demand from first hands for
general merchandise is, if anything,
quieter in keeping with the between
season. period now at hand Industrial
activity continues specially marked, a
pleasing feature this week being the
practical absence of the unrest, par
ticularly in the building trades, noted
for many years past about May l.
Winter wheat crop advices have con-
tinued irregularly unfavorable, but
good weather, enabling a large area to
be planted in spring wheat, coupled
with rather less active export demand
and denials Of damage to European
crops, has weakened quotations of wheat
and flour at leading Eastern and in
terror markets.

The possibilities of peace are crafty
