THREE INSTANTLY KILLED.
Shocking Accident on the Consolidated
 at New Rochetis.


 New York, Oct. 27..-Three men were instantly killed on the tracks of the New York, New Haven & Hartford rail- road this evening by the train which leaves New Rochelle for New York at I'll p. m. Two of the mems bodies were so badly cut up that the remains had to be gathered up piece by piece. ....
 One of the bodies was Identified as that of Frederick Walk. a laborer, liv- ing in the Borough of the Bronx. The other two are believed to be young men of the name of Spraker, who lived in a baoting house on Westchester creek.
 The fatalities occurred in the West chester freight yards, where there is a beWildering labyrinth of tracks. The men were seen walking the tracks in the direction of Baychester and the supposition is that seeing the train ap- preaching they jumped on what they thought was safe track and instead got on the one to which the train switched as it came through the yards.

UNION LEADER WAHLAID.
Chicago Man Attacked by Four Un-
 known Rufiiaus.

Chicago, Oct. 27.-Williarn Rossell, a, member of the finance committee of the Chicago Federation of Labor and for mer business agent of the International Association of Machinists, is at his home suffering from an attack made upon him by four unidentified men. Rossell, after being drugged, was hor- ribly beaten by the quartette, which then left him lying in the gutter for dead.
 The circumstances of the attack are almost exactly similar to those stIr- rounding the attack few weeks ago on Michael Donnelly, president of the Amalgamated Meatmen and Butchers organization. President Schardt, of the Chicago Federation of Labor, when told of the attack to-day, was reminded that he had been receiving numerous threat ening letters recently. The machinists' union to which Rossell belongs has em- powered it's business agent to spare neither pains nor money to bring the perpetrators of the outrage to justice.

STATEMENT TAKEN WnoseLr.
nIisapprehension of Amsrican Preinte
 Regarding Appofntmcnt of cardinais.

AckaFuthE MppOhht"cut ok kSHrulnais.
 Rome, Oct. 27.--The apparent misap- prehension under which an American prelate was laboring when he made the statement that several American cler- gymen would be nominated as cardi- nals is explained here by the statement that 1t is the custom in Rome to use the term American as applying to Canadians, citizens of the United States and South America equally.
 If the pope. therefore, mentioned his intention to create several American cardinals, he did not mean that they should be Americans in the strict sense of the word. g.s,ss
 South American countries. particular ly Brazil, have repeatedly asked for cardinals. It is probable that the arch bishops of Rio Janeiro will be the first South Americans to be raised to the purple.
 If this is done it will then be difficult to refuse the same favor to Mexico, which has a Catholic population almost equal to Brazil, and even more difficult not to extend the privilege to the arch- bishops if Buenos Ayres, Argentina and Santiago, Chile, where Archbishops Es- pinosa and Casanova, respectively, have been rivals for the red hat for years. :.f

AN ARMENIAN VENDETTA
CAUSE OF UNUSUALLY BOLD
 ASSASSINATION IN LONDON
Revolutionary Parry Evidently split Into Bitter Factions--RecentC Crimes Credited to This Condition of Afrairs- London Crime Presumably commit- ted by an Armenian from msrica.

London. Oct. 27.sagatel sagouni, president of the Armenian revolutionary society, was murdered at the doorstep of his lodgings at Nunhead, suburb of London, last night. The murder pre- sumably was committed by a fellow Arr nlenian recently from the United States. The assassination had a political mo- tive and was characterized by bold ness to which London has seldom been treated. It created an unusual sensa- tion, since it appears to have been only an incident in long and bitter ven- etta between factions of Armenian revolutionists.
 The attempted murder of Peter Kur- rigan, in Boston, the recent killing in Switzerland and the assassination of the most prominent Armenian in Lon don are so far achievements credited to the Armenian radicals here. It is said that two members of the opposi- ton party have already been killed in Russia. though the London Armenian revolutionary committee denies both knowledge of and responsibility for the crimes.
 It is generally expected that Sa- gouni's death is only the prelude to other chapters in the history of a bitter blood feud. The murderer, who has not yet been apprehended, left in the hands of the police two clues-a soft felt hat bearing the name of an American cloth ing firm and an automatic pistol of a. recent American make.
 Members of the Armenian committee here express themselves as certain that the murder is the work of an Alfarist member of the radical minority. The police are following up all clues sug- gested by Sagouin's associates. What may be possible coincidence is sug-1 gested by the fact that the Alfarist headquarters in London were recently closed, the members scattering to Egypt, Smyrna and the United States. The Macedonian committee attempted to cooperate with the Armenian com mittee in an anti-Turkish revolution in 1895, but subsequently, withdrew be- cause of the internacine strife of the Armenians.

A COINCIDENCE.
Armenian Sentenced in Boston for Mur-
 dorous Assault.

< u0rOuk AbSAutts
 Boston, Oct. 27. - CoincidVnt to the. murder in London of sagatel Sagouni, an Armenian, supposedly by a compat- riot who belonged to rival organiza- tion, was the sentencing here to-day of an Armenian named Samuel Gulesian to long term in state prison for an of fense similar in many ways to the Lon- don tragedy. Judge Stevens in impos- ing upon Gulesian a sentence of not more than twelve and not less than nine years for an assault with murder ous intent on Peter Kureghian, editor of an Armenian paper, said that the crime no doubt was Of a political nature.
 The assault on Kureghian occurred July z last. Gulesian and Kureghian were members of rival Armenian socie- ties and the shooting grew out Of the enmity which existed between the mem bers of the two organizations.
 Gulesian is only nineteen years old, and is said to be the only one of his family who survived the recent massa- cres in his native land.

SLEEPING CARS UNHEALTHY.
American Public Reaith Association
 D.scnsses the Question.


 Discusses rho Qusstion.
 Washington, Oct. 27.--At the after noon session of the American Public Health association there was general discussion of the subject of car ventila- tion, the concensus of opinion being that the air in sleeping cars becomes vitiated, and that there are fruitful sources of disease. The delegates were outspoken in condemnation of the al- legged lack of attention to the matter of cleaning blankets and furnishings in sleeping cars. Dr. J. H. Mccormick, of the state board of health of Kentucky, declared that an official investigation into the subject made by him disclosed the fact that the blankets were cleaned only once every six months. pr. c. B. Dudley of Altoona, Pa, chemist for the, Pennsylvania Railroad company, said the statements were unfair and de- manded that delegates furnish him the data on which trey based their state- ments.
 ]: The report of the committee on Cause and Prevention of Infant Nor tality'' was read by Dr. Henry Mitchell, chairman of the state board of health, Asbury Park, N. J. The remarkable dfminution in the number of deaths among infants during the past ten years. Dr. Mitchell declared has been generally ascribed to the recognition by medical practitioners of the advantages which attend cleanly methods in the collecting. storage and preparation of cows milk for infants who are artif- cially fed.
 Deaths from diphtheria have dimin- ished. Measles and whooping cough have varied but little in their periodical recurrence.

Missoula, Mont, Oct. 27.-After cov- ering himself in the east with honors won for rifle shooting, including the first prize at the Sea Girt tournament, Sergeant Hawkins (colored), of the Twenty fourth regiment, stationed at Fort Missoula, has returned to hla home to find himself less of a, herd among the officers of his home post. Hawkins mess mates had prepared for his home coming a reception and ball, hoping to use the post quarters. When permission was asked from the officers of the post to carry out this programme it was refused. As a result Hawking has asked for transfer to the Second battalion at Fort Assinniboine.

.MELLEN HI NEW FORK.
Not wiiIing to Discuss Ills Policy on
 --4, tho Consolidated. . z.

New York, Oct. 27.-Charles S. Mel len, who has just turned the presi- dency of the Northern Pacific railroad over to Howard Elliott, is taking brief rest in this city prior to assuming the presidency of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad. In reply to a question regarding his prospective policy MT. Mellen said to-day: @ ~
 T expect to be elected president of the New Haen & Hartford railroad next Saturday. Until become presi- dent it would be obviously improper for me to discuss my policy in that office. As a matter of fact, I have no policy. It is my purpose to do the very best that. can for the property" His attention being called to published statements that he was on record as being opposed to the New Haven & Hartford policy of electrical traction expansion, Mr. Mellen continued:
 What ever I may have said eight or ten years ago can have no possible sig nificance now. Railroad conditions have changed radically within the last ten years and it has been necessary for railroad managers to change their views. No successful railroad man has stood still. I expect to take up things as I find them in the New York. New Haven & Hartford and deal with each
 question as the exigencies demand. I
 do not say that will have no policy. I
 do not intend to go there and wabble, but my policy will be developed ac- cording to the conditions as I find
 thent.''
 Speaking of the Northern Pacific,
 Mir Mellen said: T believe that the Northern Pacifici is in as good physical
 condition as any railroad in the coun-
 try. It Is fine road, and Howard El-
 liott, the new president, is a fine man.
 The Alaska boundary decision will be of decided benefit to the American rail- roads. Had the award of the commits
 sion been the other way all of the traffic
 to and from the territory in dispute
 would have been taken away from the
 American lines and turned over to the
 Canadian Pacific. There is a great fu- ture for the northwestern country.'s

TRIED TO KILL PRES. DIEZ.
WOULD-BE ASSASSIN FIRES EYE
 SHOTS AT HIM.
None of Them Took Eneot-stan Officer wrenches Revolver from cIfminsIIs Hand-Prisoner . Man With a Bad Criminal Reconsideration Heartily Congratulated on His Escape.

Guanajuato, Mexico, Oct. 27.-Great excitement was caused to-day by an at- tempt on the life of President Diaz, who was a guest of the state govern ment during the festivities here The president. his staff and guests were passing by he Cantagor garden in a street car when man of the lower class named Ellis Toscano approached the car shouting and fired five shots from revolver at the car. None of the shots took effect. a.a
 Paklo Escandon, of the presidents s staff, rushed out of the car and caught the man. wrenching the revolver from him. The police took Toscano to pris- on. He is a man with bad criminal record and was but recently released from prison at Greanditas, where he had served a term for homicide. The matter will be investigated. .,....s...s a
 The president remained perfectly cool and was acclaimed by the crowd of cit izens. who showed their joy at his es- cape. e3 @.
 Toscanos evil record renders the theory of a deliberate attempt at assas- sination probable.
 The president received the congratu- lations of the citizens and diplomatic corps. E:.
 An attempt was made on the life of President Diaz on the 18th of December, 1897. He attended on that day the pub lie celebrations in the City of Mexico of the anniversary of Mexican indepen- .dence. During the festivities man rushed toward him and evading all ef- forts made to check his progress reach ed the presidents side and attempted to kill him. Great excitement prevailed, but it was soon seen that the efforts of the murderer had been futile. Presi- dent Diaz was not hurt. The assassin was at once arrested and thrown into prison. This attempted murder created much excitement and subsequently the assassin was dragged from prison by a mob and lynched.
