TWELVE KILLED IN COLLISION.
Fast Passenger Train and a Freight
Crash Touether In Ohio.

Cleveland, Aug. Is. - A fast east.
bound passenger train on the Nickel
Plate road collided with a west-bound
freight train early yesterday at Kish.
man, Ohio, resulting in the death OF
twelve persons, while at least twenty.
five others were injured, eight OF
whom will probably will die. The
wreck, according to the officials of the
company, a caused by a misunder.
standing of orders, or neglect to obey
them on the part Of the crew Of the
freight train.
Aside from the engineer, the men
killed on the passenger train were all
riding in the smoking car at the head
of the train, and were mostly foreign
laborers in the employ of the Stand.

Fort Seneca, Ohio, to B%rookfeld, Ohio,

Killed at His Post,
while trying to reach for the air brake
after seeing the headlight of the

self by jumping.
The high speed of the passenger
train threw its locomotive and first
three coaches over on the engine of
the freight train, t~elescoping the
smoker and the car following. The
forward cars of the freight train were
splintered to fragments.
OF the passengers in the smoker,
none escaped injury. Fortunately
there was no fire, but the heavy tim.
bers of the wrecked cars pinned down
many and prevented them from get
ting out until assistance arrived.
As Don al possible after the wreck
occurred doctors were sent on a spe-
cial train to the e from Lorain.
President Caniff of the Nickel Plate
stated that from the information in
the hands of the officials, the freight
train crew had orders to go on the
siding at Kishman and there await
the passage of the passenger train.
Why this was not done in time to per-
nit the passenger train to go by, or a
flagman sent out, has not yet been
learned. A rigid investigation is,
however, being made by the railway
officials.
1t is said that the watch of the engi-
neer of the freight train was slow and
that the engineer believed he had
eight minutes to get his train o N the
siding before the passenger train was
due. The freight train had slack
ened speed and was about to back in
on the siding from the main track
when the passenger train came tear
ing along at the rate of forty-fve
miles an hour and dashed into it.

PLOT TO BLOW UP PRESIDENT,
Report of Plot to Wreck His Train
Near Ridgewood, N. J..


New York, Aug. 15,-The Erie rail-
road officials were alarmed for the
safety of President Roosevelt on his
way from Chautauqua to Jersey City,
Is shown by the fact made known yes
terday that the presidents car did not
come over the main line. Instead the
Chautauqua special was broken in two
at Suffern, Rockland county, and the
presidents party was brought in by a
roundabout way over two small
branch roads.
Ordered by Underwood.
President Roosevelt is said to have
objected to the unusual precautions
taken, but acquiesced when positive
orders from President Underwood of
the Erie were shown him. These or
ders were issued as a result of a let
ter received by the Paterson police
saying there was a plot to blow up the
presidents train near R~idgeway, N. J.
The Chautauqua special was
stopped at Suffern early Saturday
morning. There was a conversation
over the telephone following a scurry-
ing around of railroad lei of that
town. The plan decided upon was to
send the president to S%parkhill, a
small town on the Hudson three miles
below Nyack, by an old single-track
road, known as the Piermont branch,
and thens into Jersey City on the
Northern railroad, a branch having its
terminus in Nyack.
President objects.
President Roosevelt was awakened
and told of the change in the schedule,
as the officials did not like to take the
responsibility without his consent.
The president, after some discussion,
said that he was Gin the hands Of the
Erie" and while he had nc fear Of
his train being wrecked on the main
line, he would do what the railroad
men thought best.
Along the Piermont branch and the
Northern railroad extra men guarded
every part Of both roads.

BUT TWO BIG BARRIERS TO AN
AGREEMENT REMAIN As
HIGH AS EVER.
OUTSIDE INFLUENCE AT WORK
FOR THE MOMENT THE EFFORT
OF BOTH SIDES Is TO
GAIN TIME.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. Is. - No
gotiations over Sunday. The session
of the plenipotentiaries which was to
have been held yesterday afternoon
was postponed by mutual agreement
out of reverence to the fact that it
was the holy Sabbath, which is uni.
versally observed in Russia as a day
of rest.
The Russians had not been anxious
for a session yesterday and in the
morning the japanese took the initia-
tive and through the Intermediary OF
Mr.. PIERCE, it vas decided to postpone
the sitting until to-day. The situation,
therefore, remains the same. 1t would
perhaps not be too much to say that
the general
Feeling Is More Hopeful
in spite of open predictions made by
personages connected with both sides
of the negotiations, that before next
Sunday the plenipotentiaries will
reach an impasse where a rupture will
become inevitable. This pessimistic
view is based upon the fact that so
far as known the two big barriers to
an agreement-indemnity and Sakha-
lin-remain as high and insurmounta-
BILE as ever.
The real struggle is only postponed.
The main problems are no nearer So
luton than when the plenipotentiaries
met. The principal reason for OPP
timism lies in the fact that confronted
with the absolute refusal of the Rus
sian reply to
Admit the Discussion
of either indemnity or the cession of
the island of Sakhalin, the Japanese
proposed to take up the consideration
of the conditions seriatum. From
this it is assumed that the Japanese
are prepared to yield or have reason
to believe a way will be found to over
come the objections of their adver-
saries when the crucial test comes.
An intimation comes from a high
source that very strong outside inf1u-
ences are at work on both sides and
that for the moment the effort is to
gain time. The plan of having Rus
STA practically satisfy Japan's claim
of reimbursement for the cost of the
war by the purchase of the Japanese
military evacuation of Sakhalin con-
tinues to be advanced. Such a solu-
ton would permit Russia to say she
had paid neither indemnity nor coded
a foot of territory.
Witte Was Sensational.
The debate in Saturdays confer
ence over the first condition-the rec
ignition of Japan's "preponderating
influence" over Korea, involving her
right to control the administration of
the Hermit kingdom, use the littoral
for strategic purposes, etc.-was of a
remarkable character. Indeed, the
position taken by Mr.. White was SEN
sational in the extreme. His attitude
reveals plainly the Russian tactics.
They propose to raise before the
world the specter of the yellow
peril" Russia claims that Japan's
present purpose is to get a foothold on
the Asiatic continent from which to
extend her influence and dominion.
