MANY KILLED AND WOUNDED.
Meager Details of WOrkingmen's Col
Iisions with the COssacLs.

LONDON, March 25.-The Daily Mail pub
fishes the following. dated March a. from
it's ST. Petersburg correspondent:
Yesterday Saturday five hundred work
ment from the Obouchower metal works
paraded on the Nevsky Prospekt. On the
way thither they demolished the state
brandy booths. Eight hundred Cossacks,
with drawn swords, met the workmen, and
a sanguinary encounter ensued. The num-
Der of killed and wounded is kept secret.
1.-The police have discovered plot
against the life of the Car. 1t appears
that a group of students drew lots, and
that the fatal choice fell TO the son of a
prominent general. The student told his
father, and the latter informed the Car,
imploring him to leave St Petersburg.
The ST. Petersburg correspondent of the
Daily Express says: I'm the last encoun-
ter at Narva Gate one hundred working
men are reported to have been killed or
wounded by the Cossacks.

United States. The Radicals. however, in
sist that they cannot recede from their
former position without loss Of dignity. and
they still hope that some concession, no
matter how Insignificant may prove
sufficient excuse.
Already the Radicals are taking their cue
from the Conservatives and pointing out
that commercial interests demand recogni-
tion. There is possibility of uniting the
Conservatives along this line. The platform
OF the Conservatives calls for a reduction
OF American import duties on tobacco and
sugar, and approves any scheme of rela-
tions which the United States government
sees fit 10 impose. In fact, the situation
is leading TO a point where commercial in
terests will be the chief question under dis
oussion at the next session Of the conven-
ton, and it is not unlikely that a resolu-
ton will be adopted asking for a reciprocity
treaty.

ODELL IS THE LEADER
HIS VIEWS ACCEPTED BY MR..
PLATT,s POLICE CONFERENCE.
No Constabulary Legislation Will BE
Attempted This SessiOn-COnference
Said to- Be Harmonious.

NEW YORK, March 4.-Leading Repub
lican politicians of this city and State met
in Senator Platt's rooms at the Fifth-ave-
nue. Hotel this afternoon and were in con-
ference for several hours. AS result of
the conference il was decided to attempt
no police legislation this session. The con-
ference adjourned subject to the call Of
Senator Platt whenever, in his judgment,
police legislation seems necessary. All who
were talked with say the conference was
harmonious.
Long before the time for which the con-
ference was called the corridors of the
Fifth-avenue Hotel were filled with State
leaders and members of the Legislature.
Every one of the leaders summoned to the
conference attended. There was a large
sprinkling of local politicians and many OF
the upstate politicians who were attracted
TO the place of conference, but who were
not summoned as participants.
Though no one would say it directly, all
who attended the conference admitted that
il had come to the views of Governor Odell,
and it was considered that he had virtually
triumphed and that the organizat ton was
with him.
This evening Senator Platt gave out the
following statement: "The general opinion
| of those at the conference that the
| police conditions existing in New York
| ought to have the attention of the Legisla-
| ture, but that it would be useless to pass
| any bill, as the Governor has declared that
| he would veto it. Some of those present
| favored State police law, and others
| favored a metropolitan district, but ii was
| conceded by all that nothing should be done
| at present.
| Il regret the situation as 1 believe that
| some action by the Legislature is important
| for the city and Republican party, and
| think that such will be the general opinion
soon. But if nothing is TO be done, and if
| the present bad conditions are to be SUBJ
| mitted to. the Legislature is not RESPONSE
| BILE for that
IF it turns out, in the next municipal
| election, that the judgment which 1 have
formed upon this subject has been wrong,
then i shall be glad that Tammany has
been left in control of the police

Blazing Oil Ran Down the Main
Street of the Village, Setting Fire
to Many Baildings.
RESIDENTS BARELY ESCAPED
AROUSED FROM SLEEP WITH LITTLE
TIME TO REACH SAFETY.
Loss Upward of elphia
Ice Palace and Plant Destroyed,
with Loss Well Insured.

NEW YORK, March 25.-A river of fam
ing oil swept down upon the little village of
Glengardner, n. j., while its inhabitants
were asleep this morning and reduced elev-
en- buildings. stores and residences to ashes.
The fire was extraordinary in its character
and in it's origin.
The village is in a valley on the line of
the New Jersey Central Railroad. An i'm
mense freight train was coming east at
$3.50 a. m. 1t was composed of string of
coal cars and eighteen tank cars High
above the village the tracks of the railroad
run along the side of a mountain They
descend as they approach the village, but
even at the station are considerably above
the main street, which runs up to the depot
at a steep incline.
A few miles west of the village while
coming down the incline around the noun
tain, the train parted. The engineer on the
forward part pulled open the throttle Of
the engine and tried to race away from the
after section. which was increasing it's
speed every second He managed to keep
clear of the racing cars until he got oppo-
site the depot at Glengardner when the
second section smashed into the first. The
first section, composed OF the coal cars,
was going at high rate of speed and none
of its jolted off the track The
forward car, one of the oil tanks of the
runaway section, hurled sidewise
across the tracks and the oil tank cars
behind it were piled UP on top of ii in every
way.
The first crash caused the oil in one of
the tank cars to explode and ignite, and the
ha ntb 70
plode one after the other. The incline run
ming from the depot down to the main
street acted as a sluide for the burning oil,
and it poured into the chief thoroughfare
of the village, setting fire to everything it
touched. Houses, fences, trees, shrubbery
and barns were reduced to ashes in an in
credibly short time.
The villagers, awakened by the explo-
sions, rushed from the oncoming flood of
blazing oil. carrying children in their arms
Some risked their lives to free horses. COWS
and dogs in outbuildngs, but other un-
fortunate animals could not be reached in
time and were burned.
Within five minutes after the first explo-
sion the flowing river of oil had reached the
Masonic Temple, in the heart of the village,
and ten minutes later that structure was
cnveloped in flames. Then building after
building all of them frame, took fire as
the oil reached them, and within half an
hour an area five hundred feet square was
mass of flames.
From the wrecked cars the oil also flowed
down the incline of the railroad track,
making a long line of fire that destroyed
the ties and bent and twisted the tracks.
The loss is estimated at from 100000 to $780,
