 Four Killed In ontario and western
 Wreck.
 MIDDLETOWN, N. r., Aug. 4.-A head on collision between milk trains on the Ontario and Western railroad yesterday afternoon at Hortons, Dela- ware county, resulted in the death of four persons, the wrecking of two en- zines and the ditching of several cars.
 A loaded milk train. southbound, and train of empties, northbound, had or ders to pass Galloway, one mile north of the wreck, but for some reason the southbound train passed the point and met the other on curve. Reports reach here that the killed are:
 Andy O'Neal of Norwich, engineer of the southbound train; Robert Reese of this city, fireman of the same train; Michael Fully of this city, fire man of the northbound train, and Frank E. Monroe of this city, train man of the same train.
 Benjamin St. John, the engineer of the other train, jumped from the cab, escaping serious injury. His father, also an engineer, was killed in a simi- lar accident several years ago a few miles from the same place.
 Both the engines and seven cars were thrown down an embankment. The hremen and Engineer O'Neal were found under the engine.
 Andy O'Neal, who met death, was in a similar accident on the same road eight years ago yesterday, having a remarkable escape from injury. His brother is George ". O'Neal, fore man of engineers on he road

mitcherr Reports No Change.

wILKESBARRE, Pa, Aug. A. President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers made another. visit to Scran- ton yesterday. Before going he said there was no change in the strike situa- hon He did not think that an attempt would be made to resume work at any of the collieries the coming week. From what he could learn the Oxford mine, in the Lackawanna region, was being operated by new men. None of the old employees had returned, and at meeting they pledged themselves not to return. Mir. Mitchell said the same conditions prevailed throughout the entire region. The strikers were still confident that they were going to win, and so long as they felt that way there was little probability that they would report for work.

NO COALITION PLANS
Russia's Position Relating to Sugar Counties Defined.
GOVERNMENT NOTE MISUNDERSTOOD.
American Newspapers Had Inter- preted It to Mean a Combine xn Europe Against Amer
 fcRn Trade,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Mr. M. Routkowsii, the financial agent of the 2 Russian government at Washington, has, by direction of the home authori- ties, made the following official state ment regarding the recent note of the Russian minister of finance relating to the Brussels sugar conventions:
 'sIn view of the erroneous interpre- tation by many organs of the Ameri- can press of the object and meaning of the recent note of the Russian minister of finance sent to various govern ments, whose representatives have signed the Brussels convention on sup pression of bounties on sugar, M. Rout- kowsky, financial agent of the Russian government in the United States, has been instructed to communicate to the American press that in case of the neg Rtive answer of the powers to the above mentioned note and the establishment of countervailing duty on Russian sugar the imperial Russian govern ment shall consider the establishment of such duty as an infraction of its commercial treaties with powers so do. ing and therefore free from obligations imposed by them and at liberty not to comply with their stipulations when ever it will be to the advantage,o of Rus sia.''
 Many of the American newspapers, M. Routkowsky explained, have inter- preted the note referred to as a move on the part of the Russian government to inaugurate a European coalition against American trade. Such an un- derstanding, he declares, is entirely in correct and does the Russian govern ment an injustice The note was sent by Russia to the governments partici- pating in the Brussels sugar confer ence and also to the American govern ment merely as an act of courtesy, the United States not having been a party to that conference. In retaliation for the countervailing duty against Rus sian bounty sugars imposed by the United States, Russia now imposes her maximum tariff rates. The object of the statement, NJ. Routkowsky says, is to show that Russia is not engaged. in any effort to wage a campaign against American trade, but to make plain to the parties to the Brussels con- ference that the imposition of counter vailing duties against Russian sugar will be met as 1t was in the case of the United States. The question Of the le- gality of the countervailing duty on Russian sugar is now pending, in the United States supreme court

Knowredge sharpena sight.

Wonderful stories are often told of the powers of vision possessed by savage races. During the recent Cambridge anthropologicaI expedi- tion to Torres straits, the visual acuity of the natives was carefully tested, and Mir. Rivers, who made the tests, concluded that the excellence of vision shown by savages has a psychological origin; that is to say, it arises from knowing what to look for. When the European acquires familiarity with the environment he can see as far as they can. Thus the power of an Indian to tell the sex of a deer at such distance that distin- guishing features like antlers were invisible was found to rest upon his knowledge of the peculiar gait of the male deer-Youth's Companion.

An Ugly Feeling Against the State Guard-Soldiers Are Frequently JostIed and Otherwise Am

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Aug. 4.-A double guard supplied with ball car | tridges surrounds the camp now, and the sentries have been instructed that If stone throwing is repeated they must shoot to kill and investigate aft erward. One of the recent attacking party, a Lithuanian named William Stoponitz, is under arrest and is con- fined in the guard tent, and the pro- vost marshal is on the trail of others. The entire Eighth regiment was called to arms during Saturday night as result of three attacks made by a band of men in ambush who threw stones at the troops now in camp on the plateau outside the town. These attacks had become so frequent that Brigadier General Gobin decided to adopt stern measures. No disturbance occurred last night.
 Colonel Hoffman said that he did not know whether the stone throwing was done to annoy the troops or to see what the regiment would or could tlo

 The colonel said there is an ugly feeling among many persons against the troops Reports are being made to him daily of soldiers being elbowed and otherwise annoyed on the streets. 1t was the intention Of Colonel Hoff- man to give a parade in the town proper as compliment to the briga- dier general, but owing to Saturday nights affair it was decided that 1t would be better to have the parade take place within the camp.
 The soldiers spent quiet Sunday. There was large crowd out. The regiment chaplain held services in the morning, and in the afternoon each command gave dress parade.

rich and Lodge Visit Oyster Bay.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 17.-Sena-
tors Hanna, Spooner, Allison, Aldrich
and Lodge and Postmaster General
Payne spent several hours with Presi-
dent Roosevelt during the day and
discussed with him the entire political
situation, having special reference to
the condition in the Western states
which the president is to visit on his
approaching trip. The parties to the
conference were very reticent after
they returned from Sycamore Hill,
but it can be stated on reliable author
ity that it was decided to make no at
tempt to revise the tariff at the COM
ing session of congress; that the presi-
dent is to maintain his position as to
the trusts, and, further, that he is to
insist in his demand for reciprocity
with Cuba. It is understood that he
will fully outline his policy regarding
this latter question in some of the
speeches he is to make on his West
ern trip.
It also can be stated on excellent
authority that the coal strike was not
discussed.
The presidents purpose in having
this conference was to ascertain if
there had been any marked political
changes in the different sections of
the country during the past year. The
conference, it is said, showed that
there had been none.
