ANSWER OF UNITED STATES.

To this declaration our reply has
been made by the following memoran-
dunn:
'"Ihe government of the United
States receives with much satisfaction
the reiterated statement that Russia
has no designs of territorial acquisi-
ton on China and that equally with
the other powers onow operating in
China, Russia has sought the safety of
her legation in Pekin and to help the
Chinese government to repress the ex-
listing troubles. The same purpose
will control the government of the
United States and frank declarations
of Russia in this regard are in accord
with those made to the United States
by the other powers.
All the powers, therefore, having
disclaimed any purpose to acquire any
part of China, and now that adherence
thereto has been renewed since relief
has reached Pekin, it ought not to be
difficult by concurrent action through
negotiations to reach an amicable set
Element with China by which the
treaty rights of all the powers will be
secured for the future, the open door
assured, the interests and property of
foreign citizens conserved and full
reparation made for wrongs and in
iuries suffered by them.
As a result of these considerations
unless there is such a general express
sion by the powers in favor of contin-
ued occupation as to modify the views
of Russia and lead to a general agree
ment for continued occupation, we
shall give instructions to the COM
mander of the American forces in
China to withdraw our troops from
Pekin after due conference with other
commanders as to the time and manner
of withdrawal.
$50 far as we are advised the greater
part of China is at peace and earnestly
desires to protect the life and property
of all foreigners, and in several of the
provinces active and skillsul efforts to
suppress the Boxers have been taken
by the yiCeroys, to whom we have ex-
tended encouragement through our
consuls and naval officers. The pres
ent good relation should be promoted
for the peace of China.
"The government of the United
States is much grati6ed by the assur-
ance given by Russia that the occupa-
ton of New Chwang is for military pur-
poses incidental to the military steps
for the security of the Russian border
provinces menaced by the Chinese,
and that as soon as order has been es-
tablished Russia will retire her troops
from those places if the action of the
other powers be not an obstacle there
/ to.
"No obstacle in this regard can
arise through any action of the United
States, whose policy is fixed and has
been repeatedly proclaimed

Excursion Train Crashed With
Fearful Force Into Milk Cars.
OVER THIRTY PERSONS INJURED
The Impact Was Terrific and Both
Trains Smashed Almost TO
Kindling Wood.

Thirteen persons killed and over
thirty othe injured in the appalling
record Of a rear-end collision between
an excursion train and a milk train on
the Bethlehem branch Of the Philadel-
phia and Reading railway Sunday
morning at fairfield, Pa, twenty
seven miles north Of Philadelphia.
The wrecked train consisted of ten
day coaches and was the first section
OF large excursion made up of peo-
pie from Bethlehem, Allentown and
surrounding towns to Atlantic City.
1t left the union depot in Bethlehem
at 6:05 Sunday morning exactly thirty
five minutes behind the milk train.
The latter train consisted of two milk
cars and two passenger coaches and
had stopped at every station on the
road from Bethlehem en- route to Phil
adelphia.
AT 6:54 the milk tram drew up at
the milk platform at Hatfield and in
less than two minutes the special ex-
oursion train, running at the rate of
thirty-hve miles an hour, crashed into
the rear of the milk train The loco
motive plowed through the two pas-
senger coaches aud crushed them as if
they were egg shells. The milk car
Immediately. in front was also badly
wrecked. -Four persons, Godfrey Kae-
lin. his daughter Mamie, Harold Lam
dis and William Blackburn, on the
passenger car of the milk train, were
almost instantly killed. Fortunately
there were very few persons on this
train.
The excursion train was a picture of
indescribable horror. The locomotive
was mass of bent and broken iron
and firmly held the bodies of its en-
gineer and fireman beneath it's great
weight. Behind the engine six of the
ten cars were also mass of wreckage.
The first car was broken in twain and
the other five cars were thrown on
their sides, completely demolished.
Nine persons were killed in the first
two cars and the others in these
coaches we're badly manned.
As soon as the crash came a terrible
cry rose from the smashed cars, and
those who had not been injured quick
ly crawled or jumped from the cars
and went to the assistance of the in
iured. Many were pinned down by
wreckage and had to be freed by the
liberal use of axes. Messengers were
sent to the nearby villages for physi-
clans and relief train was telegraphed
for from Bethlehem. With fifteen doc
tors and half dozen nurses a special
train was sent from Bethlehem, but
before it reached the scene of the
wreck it was signaled to return to
Bethlehem, as a special carrying nearly
all the injured had started for the hos
pital at that place. On the run from
Hatfield to the hospital three of the
injured died.
There are conflicting stories as to
responsibility for the accident. One
version is that the engineer of the ex-
cursion train had been warned at Sou
derton, the station above Hatfield, that
milk train was few minutes ahead
of him. Another story is that the
train dispatcher's office in Philadel-
phia was at fault. The trainmen re-
fused to talk of the accident.

1t is probable that the metric sys-
tenn of weights and measures will be
introduced before long in Russia. The
bill which has been prepared to this
effect by the minister Of finance has
received the appreciation of the state
council, with the understanding that
the university and the various scienti-
&c societies Will give their assistance
in the certificates of the weights and
measures necessary for commercial
use. The details have been nearly all
decided upon, and will be submitted
to the council in the near future.
Since 1896 the metric system
has been used by the medical service
of the Russian army in the compound
ing of formulas, this having been
made obligatory.

today is on the road to become one of
the foremost powers in Europe. The
people have come to realize that the
war with the United States was a var
of governments, and no animosity ex-
lists between the inhabitants Of the
two countries. The war was a good
thing for Spain. The nation had been
giving it's best men and $l00000,000
annually to the wars in progress in
the Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico.
AS a result of the recent conflict the
powers of Spain are concentrated for

vancement. In 10 years the world will

The comparative ineffectiveness of
the rife fire of the British soldiers in
South Africa has called out a con
siderable amount of comment in Eng
land. A Bisley expert, writing in the
Daily Mail, notes that in the British
army volley firing is cultivated to a
large extent. He says that it is be-
lieyed to regulate the expenditure Of
ammunition, to compel each soldier to
fire cooliy with properly adjusted
sight, and to enable the commander
TO direct his fire at the desired point.
The same writer, however, says that
Burnham, the American scout, called
attention to the fact that the Beers
would duck" when they saw the
smoke of volIey, and rise to fire after
it had passed over them. The truth
IS that volley firing cannot be used to
advantage except against men IN
masses and at moderate ranges
American tactics. however, prefer the
use Of magazine fire at short ranges
and at the critical moment Of attach
~ defence. The English employment
of the volley is part Of the cons rya
t,va methods which prevail in thu
sarv,ce Of the Queen, and which have
roco,ved some pretty sewers
shocls IN the course of the war Il
South Africa.

It Is Now Rapidly Nearing
Completion.
BE A CREDIT TO THE CITY
People Who Have Examined il Have
No Criticism to Make-The
Matter of Lighting.

The time in which the new court house
at the head of Main street will be oc-
cupied is said to be sixty days or less.
The building is a magnificent one with a
commanding view Of the entire city. The
exterior is one unsurpassed by any court
house in the state, while the interior Is
arranged with the most modern improve
ments. The furnishings will also be of the
best in style, quality and durability.
There are but few, if any tax payers who
have seen the building who ave sug-
gested any great improvements on the
structure or it's furnishings, except the
county owning it's own dynamos for gen.
Grating light for the court house and
county Jail, which is situated on the same
plot Of ground. The basement of the
Jail building, 81 they argue, is we'll
adapted for such a plant which could be
operated at a great saving to the county,,
because the court house with it's many
large offices, vaults, court rooms and COR
ridors will be provided with numerous
electric lights. The first cost of such a
plant would not exceed the cost of light
ing the building for the first year. 1t
is also argued, n apparently very just
~. that such a service would produce a
better grade of light than can be furnish
ed by a general electric light company
which is called upon to furnish light for
an entire city at a time in the evening of
short days when good light is most need
ed in a court house. The tax payers who
are urging such a proposition will bring
IS s|sai %s1 h az ssf ;I.ne AS rs f2ent ssp se z ;se

of which two are varioloid and two dis
crete smallpox. Miss Nellie Burke and

number is unknown, probably a dozen or
less.
