KEEP TRYST. Nd. July 2n-Two freight
trains on the b and o. railroad collided
this morning about 100 o'clock at Miller
E-nd. between WeTerton and Sandy Hook
stations. about one and one-half miles from
liarp+rs Ferry One train was completely
demolished and the other badly wrecked.
An axle on one Of the cars of the east
bound train broke, throwing the whole
train over TO the side. where 1t struck the
west-bound train. precipitating nearly all
OF the ears OF the east-bound train into the
canal and killing brakeman named FISH
er. whose home is at Brunswick Md.
II is feared that the lives OF several
tramps who were on the train have been
host. The ears are completely under water
and though the water has been turned OFF
liz the canal. il cannot subside sufficiently
in lrss than twenty-four hours to see IL
there are any bodies under the freight cars
In less than hour from the time of
accident several engines with wrecking ap-
paratus were on the scene. and by 10 m
one track was nearly cleared and a fast
train from the west went through.

sample of -four from mill in Yokohama
The -four was manufactured from a cargo of
wheat sent from here several months ago.

the Japanese are seemingly quite proud.
comes the statement that the actual cost
of the manufactured article was on the

point. AS $3.50 per barrel Is the lowest fig

CARDINAL sATOLLT.
He Has Been Appointed Project of
the Propaganda.

1t Is learned from an official source that
Cardinal Francis Satolli, the first papal del
egate to this country. 1S93-97. has been ap-
pointed project Of the propaganda by Pope
Leo XIII. This news reached here today
direct from Rome. where Monsignor Satolli
has resided since leaving Washington three
years ago 1t has been tacitly understood
among his acquaintance for some time
that he would reach the highest station by
reason Of his marked executive ability. Dur
ing the greater part of Pope Leo's reign
since 1878 the office of project of the pro-
paganda has been filled by the celebrated
Cardinal Nicolas Ledochowski an exile
from Germany. who had spent two years
in Prussian prison previously, owing to
his conflict with the Falk laws. After his
liberation the pope called him to Rome and
raised him to the cardnalate as special
token of regard. The congregation of the
propaganda has the general control of the
Catholic faith in missionary countries like
the United States. where no state religion
exists by law. Questions Of ecclesiastical
discipline. episcopal appointments. etc.
come under its management. and az Car
dinal Satolli knows the needs of Catholicity
in America from personal observation. his
present appointment may be significant.

ACCEPTING THE SITUATION
FILIPINO INSURGENTS ARE sURREN-
DERING THEIR ARMS.
Rebels Are Reported to Be Tired of
the Game-Have Not Obtain.
ed Supplies.

Reports received at the War Department
show that the late Filipino insurgents are
accepting the situation with comparatively
good grace and are surrendering their arms
and ammunition to Uncle Sans troops
with commendable rapidity. According to
one correspondent. the reports from the
different sections of the archipelago indi-
cate that the rebels are getting tired of the
game and will lay down their arms at In
tervals as the troops press them to the
point of starvation and the rainy season
approaches. The Filipino has a dread of
the heavy fall of rain. especially when he
has not comfortable quarters in which TO
smoke his favorite cigarette. and he will
not feel like enduring campaign during
that period unless there have been plenty
of supplies gathered to last through the
heavy dOwnpour of rain.
In securing supplies and establishing the
required rendezvous for carrying on guer-
ri!la warfare during the rainy season. the
rebels are said to have been most unfor-
tunate. The activity of the troops In the
different sections has made 1t almost fmpos-
s!bie for them to secure sufficient num-
Der of recruits to fill the vacancies occur
ring In the ranks. They would choose
rendezvous and stock II up. only to have
1t reduced and destroyed and their force
scattered to the mountains. where they
have been almost cut off from any base
Of supplies.
The result has been that the more rea-
sonabie insurgents have seen the fut.llty or
further resistance and not only come in
and surrender. but are using their influence
to induce their friends to follow their ex-
ample. The futility of further resistance
seems to be apparent to the more intelI-
gent and 1t is safe to say that the guer-
rilla campaign proposed by the leaders for
the rainy season will fall through with the
exception of a little looting and cut-throat
work in the more Isolated districts. The
present activity has a most effective inf1u
ence and as the rainy season approaches
the results are more apparent.

THE UNITED STATES REGARDED

Mr.. Tower, American Ambassador ia
Russia Discusses Interna-
ttonal Relations,

Mr.. Charlemagne Tower, United States
ambassador to Russia. arrived in Washing
ton this morning and went directly to the
State Department to pay his respects to
Secretary Hay. Mr.. Tower is on a three
months leave Of absence from his post.
This leave was applied for four months
ago. so that his return at this time cannot
be connected with the Chinese situation
Mr.. Tower declares that, judging from
the feeling he saw at st. Petersburg and
In the other great European cities through
which he passed on his way home. the
United States is in a peculiarly favored po-
sition. While there was no sign when he
left Of the present great upheaval in China.
with its accompanying International COM
pncations. 1t was evident to him that. in
any such question as this. the United
States as a nation occupied the singular
position Of being the only power in the
world that could act to advantage by rea-
son Of its possession Of the unreserved
confidence of the other powers.
One and all regard the United States as
free from selfish motives in its eastern
policies. and consequently are disposed to
attach great weight to the utterances Of
the State Department and are likely to
accept Its leadership on disputed questions.
without suspicion.
LAS far the report of war between
Russia and China Is concerned" said Mr..
Tower in reply to a question by a Star
porter. Il think 1t Is totally unwarranted
What l have understood Is that the Rus
sian government has declared a state Of
siege. which Is equivalent under their pro-
cedure. merely to a military government
for the purpose of restoring order. 1t is
not declaration Of war in any sense
Il can tell you said Mr.. Tower. again
referring to the high position which this
country occupies one Of the powers OF
the world. that President Mckinley has
done more for the United States in the
eyes of the world than any man IN
generation"
After remaining here a couple of days
Mr.. Tower will leave for Philadelphia, and
in short time he will go to Canton to
see President Mckinley. He said that the
relations now existing between Russia and
the United States were Of the most cordial
kind. and that no question Of any kind was
pending that could affect this cordially.

1t is expected the board Of education will
have so far completed the work of estab-
fishing the new system for the manage
ment of the public schools of the District
as provided for in legislation of the last
Congress. that It wiz be able to adjourn for
the summer by the, 1st of August Before
the summer RECESS the superintendent. Mr..
Stuart will probably have a conference
with the board, relat to the course of in
struction. and by the, time the board comes
together again he will be in a position to
make a recommendation on this important
subject. 1t is already pretty we'll deter
mined that grammar will be one of the
text books In the schools during the next
year. The superintendent and the assistant
superintendent are now engaged in ex-
amining booksffw with the view of making
some specific recommendation. 1t is also
believed that another change will be made
and that there will be some time devoted to
the spelling drill in lower grades The
changes to be made in the course of in
struction will. it is believed, bring thu,
schools nearer to the standard demanded
by the community, as well as render them
more efficient.
