New York, May 1l.-A rear end col
llslon w two trains on the Third
avenue elevated railway between Fifty
sixth and t1fty-seventh streets, killed
Motorlnan Cornell of the real train, and
seriously injured five passengers.
Inc tfalns We're on the southhound
track. h first car of the rear crashed
lts way three-fourths of its length
through the rear car of the second train
ana the exposed wiring set fire to the
Wfeckage. The fire added to the panic,
passengers leaped through the shat
tered windows, Drawing the dangers of
the third rail, and until fremen and
policemen arrived intense excitement
prevailed.
with such force did the rear train
ram the one IN front that the cars were
llfted from the tracks and hen settled
down with n crash. lettering on the
edge of the elevated structure two cars
hung out over the side at an angle of
about 40 degrees, but the coupling held
and they were soon prOpped up by fire
men. SO great was the force of the col
liSlon that the cars could not be drawn
apart, and 1t was necessary to chop
them to pieces.
When the fremen arrived the pas

Is Amounted.

Washington, May 11.-President
Roosevelt had a long conference today
with Secretaries Hay and Tart and
Attorney General Knox, at which regu-
lations to govern the isthmian canal
were determined on finally. The fol-
lowing IS a brief resume of their pro-
visions:
While the creation and work of the
commission is committed by law to the
president, whose authority in that re-
gard is practically supreme, the presi-
dent directs that the commission shall
exercise its powers under the direction
and supervision of the secretary of

Gen. George w. Davis is appointed
governor of the American zone OF the
isthmus. Until the expiration Of the
Fifty-eighth congress the isthmian
commission will exercise legislative

SIR he DEAD.
Famed as an Explorer of Dark Africa,
Was a Correspondent and
knighted by Victories.

London, May 11,-Sir Henry NJ.
Stanley, the African explorer, is dead.
He was attacked by pleurisy a fort
night since at his London residence.
His illness was complicated by chronic
heart trouble. He had been in a semi
conscious condition since Sunday aft
ernoon.
Henry Morton Stanley (whose real
name was John Rowlands) was born
near Denbigh. Wales, in lS41. He was
of obscure parentage; was thrown up
on his own resources at an early age,
and. 1t is said, worked his way as a
cabin boy TO New Orleans, where he
was employed by q merchant named
Stanley, whose name he adopted, He
served in the confederate army, and
later in the United States navy; went
TO Turkey as a newspaper correspond
emit; went with the British expedition
to Abyssinia in 1868 as a correspondent
of the New York Herald; was sent by
the Herald in search of Livingstone in
1863; started from Zanzibar in March,
1871; found Livingstone at Cjiji in No
vember, 1871, and returned in 1872;

Army Is Now Evacuating New

FLEEING BEFORE THE JAPS
Russian Forces Are Not Sufficient to
Hold This Section of the Country
-Fene Wang Cheng Has
Fallen.

New Chwang, May 10-There is every
cided to e~vacuate New Chwang. Troops
have been leaving here all day. Forts
have beer d~ismantled and all artillery
has been placed on board trains. All
the local transportation has been COM
wandered by the Russian authorities.
There is current here Il native rumor
that Japanese troops are in Foo Chau
Bay Con the west side of the Lao Tung
peninsula and about sixty miles north
of Port Arthur, but this report lacks
confirmation.
The fear is held here hat If the Rus
slams leave and the japanese do not
at once take possession of New Chwang
the brigands, who are now across the
river near Wing Kow, will pillage the
place. The foreign residents are pre-
pared to resist the %brigands should they
o N over. The British consul has re-
quested that a gunboat be sent to New
Chwang.
The Russians probably will destroy
the gunboat Sivoutch before leaving.
The vessel is at New Chwang.
Fire on Train.
Japanese troops fired On what prob
ably was the last train out of Port
Arthur as it passed near Port Adams.
They used artillery and small arms
and killed or wounded several Chinese.
1t is reported here that Viceroy Alex
Jeff was slightly wounded prior to his
departure from Port Arthur. He bare
ly escaped from there before the jap
aneSe closed the lines of Communica-
ton.
The Russian general staff have NOV
ed from Lac Tung to Mukden.
Russians hero will not talk of the sit
uation for fear that they a impart
some information. They do not on
slider that their forces here are suffi-
cient to old this section of the country.
1t is probable that the Russian troops
will withdraw TO Hardin.
The Russian civilians at New ChWang
are leaving hurriedly, n many ma
tives are fleeing the city in fear that
they will be subjected to maltreatment
at the hands of the ~brigands.
To Resist the Brigands.
Shan Hai Kwan, May 9.-Refugaes
from New Chwang are returning there
armed to resist brigands who are said
to be across the river near YingkoW
waiting an opportunity to enter New
Chwang and pillage between the anti
cipated evacuation of the Russians n
the entrance OF the japanese. The ref
ugees ave urgently requested that a
second gunboat be sent to New Chwang,
the British consul having already re-
Quested the presence of one gunboat.
It is believed here hat Viveroy Alex
Jeff and Grand Duke Boris are still in
Port Arthur.

THE WARS PROGRESS.

; The war Is now progressing rap
idly enough to suit the most fas-
; tidious. The Japanese have Port
Arthur absolutely invested: COM
; m%unication is u off both by rail
n wire. Russia has 22,0 ZOO men n
the still important-remnants of her
fleet In the stronghold. whose fall
seems foredoomed. The Japanese
can now take way enough of their
fleet to cVermatch the V~ladivostok
trance to the harbor blockaded. So
another sea fight may be among
the early possibilities.
With Port Arthur corked at both
ends. the Japanese are bringing
their mysterious armies out of the
o%bscurity that has baffed all efforts
at locating them, and are pushing
their campaign In Manchuria. Rus
sian unpreparedness and the hol-
lowness of Russian bluff are daily
being shown to be of the same u
perlattve degree as Japanese prepa-
ration and intelligent capacity to
perform. The Yalu was crossed
without difficulty and the Rus
slams routed Immediately afterward.
The Japs displayed a truly Ma
poleonic mastery Of the art of ar
tlllery warfare, and by taking about
a third Of all the effective artillery
the Russians had in Manchuria
nave added Immensely to the in
'IHeitE u llc COilD3l
The Russians after their defeat
fell back toward Feng Huang
Cheng, where it was said they
would fight a great battle. But to-
day comes news that they have
abandoned THIS point In turn and
are still falling back on Mukden.
1t is hardly possible that the Rus :
slams nave escaped from this i'm :
portant and fortified point with
their stores and baggage, on such :
short notice. and the Japanese will ..
probably find themselves in pos
session of immensely valuable :
stores.
The Japanese might go too far.
but they Will hardly make so dan
gerous a mistake to mar a cam
paign so magnificently planned as i.
theirs is now proved. They want :

that when peace comes they may :

6 o'clock last night.
1t is believed the spot wher the
japanese have cut the railroad and
telegraph lines Is near Port Adams, OPP
posite PitseWo. No news of other
landings on the Lilac Tung peninsula
has reached the general staff.
Important developments are hourly
expected from Feng Weng Cheng.
News of heavy fighting there Is anti
cipated shortly, A telegram from
General K~uropatkin says General Ku-
rokfS army is advancing upon the Rus
sian position in two divisions. The
enemy, with artillery, he reports, has
reached Kao Lii Meun, called the Gate
of Korea" which is within ten miles of
Feng Weng Cheng. The report that
Russia purposed sending troops to
Shan Hal Kwan is officially denied to-
day.
Russians Expected It.
The calmness with which the Rus
slams accept the isolation of what al
ways has been regarded as the Russian
Gibraltar in the far east is remarkable.
In military circles 1t has been consid-
cred inevitable from the first. No at
tempt is made to belittle the energy
shown by the enemy, but from a stra-
tegic point Of view the investment of
the fortress is regarded as relieving the
military situation on the mainland,
Which had peen much embarrassed by
the necessity for maintaining the sea-
grit stronghold at, the extremity of the
Lao Tung peninsula. Besides the ut
most confidence is expressed in the
apli'y ui me lortress 10 Wlthstand a

peninsula from Kin Chou, thirty miles
above, TO Fort Arthur. is an entrenched
camp commanded by a chain of most
formidable Notifications, which sur
mount the crest of every hill. Millions
of roubles and years OF work have been
devoted to rendering the place impreg-
nable by land or sea. The railroad cir
