WAR CLOUD TH!CKENS AGAIN
Negotiations Between Japan and
Russia at a Standstill.
Their Preparations for HOstilities
-Milxado Demands a Treaty.

Berlin, Oct. 19.-The negotiations be-
tween Japan and Russia, according to
the view of the situation taken here, are
not making progress. Each side, it ap-
pears from official information, will not
yield on the essential propositions.
Japan persists in requiring an agree
ment that shall now delimit their re-
spective spheres of supremacy and
Japan declines to consent to the general
policy of drift" under which Russian
influence will, the Japanese say, stead
lily bear upon Corea and edge forward
until the time is ripe for acquiring q
part of or the whole country. Japan, as
previously cabled from here, is deter
mined, according to the German view,
to have settlement with Rus "a by
treaty whereto they both must abide or
else-and the threat is ever in the near
kground-hostilities will begin.
This is the danger in plain view. The
Japanese government seemingly makes
no particular concealment from the
diplomatic corps at Toxic of this atti-
tude, one impression being that Japan
is merely playing a diplomatic game
and another being that the government
is in deadly earnest Russia's even in
creasing military preparations in the
far east and Japan's nearly completed

WORK TRAINS
COME TOGETHER
Terrible Result Of a Collision in
New Jersey.
FIFTEEN LABORERS ARE KILLED
Most of Them Were Italians Who
Lived i'm Trenton-FOrty Others
Injured i'm the Wreck,
Some Seriously.

Trenton, N. j., Oct, 19.-Fifteen per-
sons were killed and about 10 more in
jured IN collision which occurred Sat-
nrdav on the Belvidere division Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company near
Washington's Crossing. The persons
killed anu injured were laborers who
were on q work train and were on their
way to work at Washington's Crossing
to repair washout along the road. Four
teen bodies have been taken from the
wreck an6 one more body is known to
be under the debris. Only two or three
of those injured will be permanently
MANNED.
AS soon as the collision occurred
special train was sent from Trenton
with corps of physicians and the dead
and injured were brought to this city.
The injured were taken to ST. Francis
hospital. The dead men, with one or
two exceptions, are Italian laborers who
resided in this city,, the others being
colored men. Their bodies were taken
to the morgue for identification.
Cars Are TeIescoped.
The train bearing the men who were
killed and injured was made up of four
cars, two coaches, in which the men
were riding and two flat cars in the rear.
The train stopped near Washington's
Crossing to receive orders respecting the
passing of the regular passenger train.
While the train was standing on the
track it was run into from the rear by
gravel train. The two fat cars tele-
scoped the two coaches. There were
about $50 men In the two cars. AS soon
as the accident happened the Italians
became frantic and made an attempt to
do bodily harm to the crew of the gravel
train. Word was sent to Trenton for
police assistance, but the men were
finally quoted by the foreman.
The railroad authorities here are ret
icent as to how the accident occurred,
but it is believed that the gravel train
either failed to see any adverse signal
or, that the flagman of the first train
failed to go back sufficient distance.
