IN MAGELLANIC CLOUDS
Mystery of Heavens Is Cleared Up by
the PesearcheS of Harvard
Observators

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, July 3.-The
researches being carried out upon
photographs of the two Magellanic
clouds have resulted. the Harvard OBJ
servators announce. in the discovery
of more than 100 variable stars in the

numerous.

there were forty killed. but probably
the number is not so great"
The train consisted of six cars, all
heavily loaded with passengers. The
three rear cars. diner and two sleepers,
were not derailed. The other cars were
piled up in an indescribable mass and,
with the crushed freight cars on the
siding. took fire. A rumor spread that
one Of the freight cars was loaded with
explosives, and for the time this had
the effect Of retarding the work of res
cue.
DR.. P. J. Farrell Of Chicago, one OF
the passengers, directed the work Of
rescue, giving medical attention to the
injured. Temporary hospital headquar-
teTs were hastily established in Litch-
field. A driving rainstorm prevailed.
The dead were removed as speedily as
possible 10 undertaking rooms. 1t is
probable that the exact number of dead
VIII not be known for several days, as
the passengers assert that bodies were
cremated IN the burning debris.
SEES VICTIMS CREMATED.
A. f. Darling Of St Louis, one Of the
passengers on board the observation
car. said:
I saw two persons burned 10 death.
one was a man and the other young
girl i 90 not know their names
W'reckage held them down until the
heat became unbeara bic and the men
who were trying TO save them could
not remain another moment.
There was another passenger, q
woman. whose feet were pinned down
by a heavy beam. 1t could not be
moved and she begged that her feet
be cut of The flames drove every
body away before she could be saved. "
T. Ward Of Chicago showed partic-
ular nerve. One of his legs had been
torn Of When he was carried out Of
the wreck he said:
Lay me down somewhere and go
hack and save the women and chill
dren."
The injured were mostly taken to
private houses in the vicinity Of the
wreck and later on those who were able
were removed 70 hospitals. The sur
VivOIs Of the disaster went TO St Louis
late tonight. One Of the survivors was
Andrew NJ. Lawrence Of California, a
Hearst political manager.
Charles COrneau. station agent at
Litchdeld. said that the wreck was the
result of malicious mischief He said

French Coal for Russian Fleet.

PARIS, July 3.-The reports that
France will permit the Russian Baltic
fleet to take coal at French ports along
the route to the Far East are officially
verified. This will permit France to
give notable evidence of her friend

JAPANESE WORSHIP MIKADo.
Bishop Says. the Little Brown Men
Have No Religion.

Bishop Partridge of Japan, during
a sermon at Grace Church yesterday,
spoke of the divorce of religion from
morality in Japan and the substitu-
ton, among the most intelligent Jap
anese, of patriotism for religion.
Many a Japanese had said to him, "
asserted the Bishop, Il don't need any
religion; Japan is my religion, the
Mikado is my God, what more do
need %
1t is impossible said Bishop Part
ridge, for an American to form any
idea of the appalling general vice that
is a condition of Japanese life. The
most vicious are the priests of the
Buddhist faith. Christianity, how
ever, is gaining ground and many men
high in social and national life are
Christians.

wegian vessels being given preference.
One Of the wounded Japanese pris-
oners who died was buried to-day.
The coffin was covered with the Jap
anese flag and with wreaths given by

FACES TWO WARS.
MUST NOT ONLY Fight Japan BUT
DOMESTIC FOES.
ColnCident with the Outbreak of Hos
tiiteS in the Far East, the Gar
Hears Of Revolutionary Out
breaks at Home.

ST. Pet rsburg, Feb. 1S,-Onicial
circles are awakening to the fact
that Russia has two wars on her
handsome against Japan in the
Far East and one against the dis
satisfied elements at home.
1t is remarkable as showing the
discomfort which exists through
out the empire that, as soon as it
became certain that Russia would
have to fight Japan, nows of at
tempted outbreaks were reported
from several quarters of the en-
pire.
There is trouble in the trans
Caucasus, there Is trouble in Fin
land, there is trouble in Poland
and elsewhere
The opinion is general that in
case of prolonged war with ia
pan, Russia will have to face out
breaks at home which will be little
short of revolution.
