eminent Announcement-Le
ton Guards Withdrawn.

Toxic. Sept. 11.-Mob violence has
subsidized and popular indignation has
been considerably allayed by an an
nouncement by the government that
the report that Cape Soya, on La Pc
rouse straits, could not be fortified by
Japan is unfounded, the only stipulation
made with Russia being in regard to
the free passage of the straits.
Gen. Sakuna has withdrawn the
guards from the foreign legations,
which are deemed to be in no danger
and without the necessity of strong pro-
lection. However, sentries in small
squads continue to watch the legations
and the military patrols have been ex.
tended in order to completely protect
the city. There have been no further
demonstrations against churches or
missions. 1t was feared for a time that
the crowds might menace the larger
foreign missionary establishments. at
Tsukiji and Aoyama, but the principal
establishments have not been disturbed

CAR FALLS 10 STREET
Awful Disaster in New York City in
Which Twelve Lives
Are Lost,

New York, Sept. l2.-Twelve per.
sons were killed and more than 20
injured when the second car of a
Ninth avenue elevated train jumped
tlie track and fell from the structure
To tae street at taa junction of the
Sixth and Ninth avenue lines at
ft.ty-th!ra street aad Ninth avenue
Monday. The accident. the worst in
the history OF the overhead railroads
in New York. came when south
bound train On the North avenue line
was switched off to the Sixth avenue
line at the Fifly-third street junction.
The motorman, eXDectin. clear
track on the direct line Of Ninth ave-
nue.. or disregarding the warning Sig
nal that the switch was open, rushed
his train along at a high rate OF speed.
The first car swung around to right
angle curve. holding to the rails be-
cause of the weight of tie train be-
hind. Then the strain became too
great. The couplings broke. the sec.
ond car was whirled about almost
end for end.
Suddenly the outer guard rail Of
the railroad structure gave way, a
score of bodies We're hurled through
space, and with a deafening crash the
car fell to the street. For an instant
it stood fairly on end Then the sides
gave way as If they were made OF
pasteboard belching ont mass of
humanity. Those passengers who mad
not jumped from platforms and win.
dows before the plunge came. were
thrown into mass at the forward
end of the car. AS the injured men
and women were struggling to free
themselves, the heavy front trucks of
the third car on the train fell almost
in their midsl as the car itself jumped
partly off the elevated structure and
was wedged against building at
the southeast corner of Ninth avenue
and Fifty.third street.
Two versions of the cause of the
wreck were told to the coroner. One
of these was that the switchman had
set the tracks for a Sixth avenue
train and when he saw his mistake
had attempted to rectify it while the
| train was on the curve, the change
throwing the second. third and fourth
cars Off the track. The switchman
however, declares the wrecked train
had Sixth avenue signals set, and he
! expected it to slow down to take the
| curve. Instead, it maintained the
F, speed usual with Ninth avenue trains
on the direct line.
