Once again the graves of our dead
soldiers-there were more yesterday
than a year ago-received their trib-
ute of lovely flowers from hands that
never grow weary of the labor of
love.
1t was a glorious day, as if all the
powers of nature had determined to
marshal all their forces of wind, sun
and air to make absolutely perfect a
scene of beauty under any circum-

a cloud in the sky, no dust on the

everyone knew the old veterans were
here to greet one another once again
and strengthen the old ties of COM
radeship before crossing the river and
resting in the shade of the trees.

The Russians are known to be
communicating with the Chinese bril-

terror among the natives.

A CRASH IN The AIR
A Scene of Horror on
the Third Avenue
Elevated.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, May "A rear end col
lision between two trains on the Third
Avenue Elevated between seth and
57th streets this afternoon killed Mo-
torman Cornell OF the rear train, and
seriously injured five passengers.
The trains were on the southbound
track. The first car of the rear train
smashed it's way three quarters of a
length through the rear car of Sc
cond train and the exposed wiring set
fire to the wreckage. The fire added
to the panic. Passengers leaped
through the shattered windows, BRAY
ing the dangers of the third rail, and
until firemen and policemen arrived
intense excitement prevailed.
With such force did the rear train
ram the one in front that the cars
were lifted from the tracks and then
settled down with a crash. SO great
was the force of the collision that the
cars could not be drawn apart, and it
was necessary to chop them To he ccs.
When the fire:nen arrived the pas
sengers, many of whom were women
were running s.hout wildly on the .e-
waited structure or were struggling to
get out of cars. Several were injured
by leaping from the windows.
The arrest of conductors of both
trains and the motorman of the first
train was ordered. The first train had
been held up by repairs at 56th street
and was at a standstill when the acci-
dent occurred.
General superintendent Frank He'd

pany, who took charge of the work OF
clearing up the wreck, said that the

Washington, May 10.--It is said
that the two United States warships
which haVsH been ordered to Cheefoo
will act under the instructions sug-
gested by the American minister and
the consul at New Chwang. 1t is be-
lieved to be desirable not to advance
the ships from this nearest neutral
port into the theater of war without
very grave reasons. So the captains
of the ships will communicate with
Minister Conger, who. in turn, is ex-
pected to communicate with Consul
Miller at New Chwang, though how
he is to do this in the event that tele-
graph lines are broken is not suggest
ed here.
