THE BRIDGE GAVE WAY.
Syracuse Car Dropped Thirty Feet
Into Bed of CanaI-Scveral In
jured, But None Killed.

Syracuse, n. Y. April 6.-While car
on the old East Side suburban line of the
Syracuse Rapid Transit Company was
crossing the James street bridge over the
Oswego canal in the heart of the city.
about $50 O'Clock this afternoon, the
bridge suddenly gave way. dropping the
car and it's sixty passengers to the canal
bed, thirty feet below. Several persons
were crossing the bridge at the time and
went down with the car, while horse
and loaded lumber wagon piled on top of
the heap, About forty persons were in
jured. 1t is not believed that any deaths
will result. although there are reports of
several of the worst injured bei1g dan
gerously hurt.
Had the canal been filled with water,
the result Of the accident would have been
terrible. The car struck the towpath end
first and then slid off into the mud at the
canal bottom, where it stuck. The water
would have been deep enough to cover all,
but a few windows and the front door,
and many of the passengers would have
undoubtedly perished.
When the crash came, persons on the
streets called the fire department.. Lad
ders were quickly lowered and the injur-
ed carried up and sent to their homes or
to hospitals in carriages and ambulances.
For more than year there have been
criticisms of the condition of the bridge.
The bridge was about eighty feet long and
sixty feet wide. 1t was broken sharp off
at both entertainments, the entire structure
going into the canal

EIGHTY MEN PER TROOP.
New Cavalry Regiments Not to BE Re-
cruited 10 Full Strength Ex-
cept the Fifteenth.

Washington. April 6.-An order was is
sued to-day at the War Department di-
recting that the five new cavalry regl.
ments Except the Fifteenth Cavalry un-
der orders TO the Philippines), be organ
lied on a basis of eighty men per troop.
Under the elastic provisions of the army
reorganization act troop of cavalry may
consist of from 65 10 100 men. The War
Department, after full consideration of
the subject, has concluded that a strength
of eighty men per troop will meet all
military requirements. No change has
been made in the organization of the reg
iments in the Philippines, and none is
contemplated for the present. The Fif-
teenth Cavalry. which is one of the new
regiments ordered to the Philippines, will
have the maximum strength of 100 men
per troop. The other new cavalry regi-
ments will be stationed in the United
States for many months to come.

Pekin-Gen. ChaRee Said 1t Would
Only BE Necessary to Occupy Five
Points With 2,OOO-Gen. WOEaclS
Thought 1,OOO Would he Sufficient.
Pekin, April 6.-The meeting of the gen
erals of the allied troops and Count Won
Waldersee this morning was of great in
terest and Importance. Though it was
known beforehand what had practically
been decided upon, still the meeting
showed conclusively the attitude of the
different powers. The only dissentients
from the plan adopted were Gen. Chaffee,
the American commander, and Gen. Wo-
gack, commander of the Russian forces,
who both thought that the number of
troops was too great. The other generals
were unanimous in the opinion that nine
points on the railway should be occupied
between Pekin and Shan Hal Hi, with
5000 men, exclusive of the two thousand
in Pekin. This will be a permanent
measure, while the reduction of the pres
ent forces will be made according to the
wishes of the respective governments.
The railway between Pao Ting Flu and
Pekin will not be guarded, it not being
a line of communication with the sea.
Gen. Chaffee suggested that it was only
necessary to occupy two points between
Yang Tsun and Tien Tsin and three be-
tween Tien Tsin and Shan Hai kwan,
with a total of 1000 men, exclusive of
those al Pekin. 1t was not necessary, he
said, to have soldiers al Tong Ku, as
naval vessels were always there, and also
because the reliefs were always passing
backward and forward.
Gen. Wogack thought 1000 men would
be sufficient for occupying Tien Tsin and
Shan Hai KWan.
The views of the majority will be pre-
sented to the ministers for immediate ac-
ton, as the generals feel that the accept
ance by the Chinese of these terms, in
cluding the total destruction of the forts
at Shan Hal Kwan, Pei Tang, Taku. Tong
Ku, Pei Tsan and Hang Tsun, will mean
complete submission when arrangements
ought to be made for the withdrawal of a
majority of the forces from China.

Of the officers were found. Deputy Sheriff
Goodrich had the keys to the jail and
these were taken possession of by the
mob. Arriving at the jail, the lynchers
entered and Hearn sank on his knees and
began to pray. Although his sentences
were almost incoherent, he insisted that
he had not killed King from malice, but
that the shooting was accidental.
The mob was unmoved. and, placing a
rope around his neck, they took him from
the Jail and hanged him to a tree.

Trading Elsewhere.
Washington, April 6.--An increase OF g
per cent. in the value OF merchandise I'm
ported into Cuba during the first three
quarters OF 1900 over the amount during
that priod of 1899 is set forth in COM
parative statement just issued by the di-
vision of insular affairs. War Depart
ment. Merchandise to the value of si9.-
7Ol'99S was imported during 1900 and ot
$50. 6.S53,122 during 1899. The exports of
merchandise are set down at $3S, S,020 ,03S
during 1900 and at $3s. .672l46 during 1899.
The imports from the United States
showed decrease of nearly $4,000 900.
while the imports from Porto Rico in
creased from $696, 1863 to 1858 9SS.
The total value of all exports during
the period of 1900 is set down at $40, l9e'
7O2 and for 1899 at $42. .2S2 $50. The exports
to the United States decreased nearly S.
100000 in value.
The falling off of commerce. both to and
from Cuba with the United States,
causes considerable surprise The War
Department has referred the question to
the authorities in Cuba to ascertain spe-
cihc cause for such difference between
the figures of 1899 and 1900. There is an
intimation that native hostility to the
United States is shown In the trade rela-
tions. The trade that has fallen off with
the United States has gone largely to
Great Britain and Germany.

INDIA BEING DEPOPULATED.
Famine and Cholera Doing Their
WOrk~-PrOvinces show Heavy De-
creases Instead of Increases.

London, April 6.-The depopulation of
India through famine and cholera is as
suming alarming proportions. The latest
advices from Simla say the census re-
turns of the central provinces show
decrease of over 100000 since 1891, when
under normal conditions an increase Of
100000 might have been expected.
1t is estimated that 100000 have died
in India since 1896 from causes directly
due to the famine. In Western India
things are even worse. The Oodepoor
state returns show a decrease of $4,000
or 45 per cent. of the population; the state
of Bohapul shows a decrease of S0S000;
the district of Banda shows a decrease
of 124,OOO. In Bombay City the popula-
ton diminished by $4,000.
The localities which escaped the plague
show a satisfactory. though uncompensat-
ing increase. For instance. Madras, which
has gained per cent over 1891.
