JAPAN'S POSITION.
Will Act Conservatively in the Mat
ter of Sending Troops to China.

Washington, July 12.--The japanese
legation has received a dispatch from
Toxic, giving briefly the details of the
assassination Of Baron Won Ketteler at
Pekin and the fighting around Tien-
Tsin. The dispatch was sent from To-
kio July 4, but was in some way sub
ject to great delay along the Siberian
route. 1t states that the German min
lister was killed by a shot, and that it
is not known whether the mob element
or soldiery is responsible for the shoot
ing. The japanese report of the fight
ing around Tien-Tsin is similar to that
already conveyed in the press dis
patches.
Concerning today's report from Yo-
kOhama that the government is being
urged to send $4,000 troops to China.
Mr.. Nabeshima, the japanese charge
says this is little more than press con-
lecture, and that there Is no present
evidence that the government has the
slightest purpose of sending more than
one army corps, or 90 900 men, to China.
While the popular sentiment In Japan
might favor the dispatch of a large
army to China, he feels that the gov
ernment will act quite cOnseryatively,
particularly in the view of the uncer-
tainty as to the terms on which Japan
is to undertake this mission.

HAS NO LOCAL BEARING.
Metzger Opinion Will Not Affect
This City, Mr.. Vosburg Says.

City Solicitor Vosburg stated to a
Tribune man yesterday that the opin-
ion of Judge Metzger Of Lycoming
county, in regard to the illegality of
certain paving contracts would have
no bearing in this city as conditions
existing here are different than those
existing in Williamsport, where the
contracts declared Illegal by Judge
Metzger were in force.
The opinion was to the effect that a
property owner cannot be compelled
as an Individual to pay for repairs
on a paved street caused by ordinary
wear and tear, even If q contract en-
tered into between the city and a con-
tractor calls for such repairs.
Mr.. Nosburg explained that in this
city the contract for repairs made
necessary by ordinary wear and tear
provides that the city shall pay the
cost of repairing, or in other words,
that 1t shall be provided for in the
appropriation ordinance ana not col
lected by assessments.
The contractors who put down the
pave originally are compelled to fur
nish bonds to insure the keeping of
the pave in good repair against defects
of material or construction.

SLAUGHTER OF
THE FOREIGNERS


saw a man in European garb directing
the Chinese artillery operations outside
of Tien-Tsin.
Foreign refugees from Tien-Tsin
openly accuse a European official,
whose name the press correspondents
suppress, and Colonel Won Hanneken,
who was formerly employed to drill
the Chinese troops, of being parties to
plot to procure the escape of Gen
eral Chang and themselves from Tien-
Tsin before the bombardment, leaving
the other foreigners to their fate.
Statements are in circulation in
Shanghai accusing the Russians of in
discriminate slaughter of friendly Chi
nese non-combatants without regard to
age or sex. The manager of a Chi
nese steamship company who has ar
rived in Shanghai asserts that he only
escaped from Tien Tsin by cutting off
his queueue and donning European
clothes. 1t is stated that the taotai Of
Shanghai protested to the powers
against these Russian slaughters.
Buddhists are Active.
1t Is asserted that the Buddhist
priests throughout the empire are pro-
pagating Prince Tuans anti-foreign
gospel.
News Is circulating, throughout the
Yang Use Valley thaS General Ma has
inflicted a crushing defeat upon the
allies at Tien Tsin and that the for
eign army has been cut to pieces east
of Pekin. The actual impotence for
the moment of the allied forces nearly
give color to these stories with the
worst results. The Shanghai cores
pondent of the Express gives Tien Tsin
advices of July s. when the superior
range of the Japanese artillery enabled
them to relieve the Russians, who
were hard pressed at the railway sta
| ton.

THE FORWARD TRAIN.
The men on the forward train say
they were moving about ten miles an
hour when they were overtaken. They
had laid in a switch at Paradise to let
No. pass, and there received orders to
run twenty-five miles an hour to keep
out of the way of the wild cat, which
followed them. They halted on ap-
preaching Cresco station, as No. was
due, but when they saw that No. was
not at the station they began to pull
out.
The rear end of their train was not
over one hundred yards beyond the
station when the runaway caught
them. No. in the meantime had come
into the station but was underway
when the runaway passed.
The survivors of the crew on the
second train say that scarcely any
shock accompanied the collision. 1t
seemed as if the train just slid into
the one before 1t and gradually came
to a standstill and began to pile up.
The caboose and four cars of the
first train and the engine and about
all cars of the second train, except the
one that was cut Off with the caboose,
were more or less wrecked. The big
engine and twenty-five cars went down
the bank. Blocks of ice shot into the
woods in all directions and a cushion
from the caboose of the first train was
picked up fifty yards away in a bog
by a passenger who was being trans
ferred around the wreckage.
1t was several hours before the re-
mains of the engineer and Cramer
were gotten out of the wreck. 1t was
expected that the road would be
cleared at an early hour this morning.
PASSENGERS TRANSFERRED.
Passengers on the Scranton bound
train due here at S.45 were taken
around the wreckage through the
| woods and brought to this city on a
special which was hurrledly dispatched
to the scene to bring back the In
jured trainmen. Physicians from the
Moses Taylor hospital staff were sent
with the train. Superintendent A. c,
Salisbury went thither with a wreck
ing crew.
While the road was blocked the first
class trains, milk trains and fast
freights were sent ar )und from Scran-
ton by way of the Jersey Central to
Easton and thence on the Pennsylva-
| MIA to Manunka Chunk, and trains
| bound this way took the same route.
