TRAINS IN COLLISION

As the result of a head-on-collision
on the Silverbrook branch OF the Penn
sylvania and Reading Railroad yester-
day afternoon, between freight trains,
two locomotives were demolished and
several cars were derailed blocking
traffic for several hours.
No direct cause Of the accident is now
known although it is supposed that
the signals were misunderstood by one
Of the crews.
Seeing the danger the engineers sand
ed the rails, put the brakes on and
reversed the levers, but the headway
was too great and the trains came to-
gether with a crash. The engineers
and fremen jumped before the trains
met. Engineer Wilson w. Pfettyman
sustained a sprained leg by hitting
log when he landed on the ground.

Toxic. March 9. I p. m.--The Japan
ese have cut the railway north Of Muk-
den.
Field Marshal Oyama in an order di-
recting the pursuit Of the retreating
Russians yesterday prohibited his
troops from entering Mukden in masses
in order to preserve the respect Of the
tombs and sacred places Of the Imper-
ial Chinese household and to protect the
welfare of the inhabitants.
Toxic is Celebrating.
Noon.-Although the actual extent Of
the success gained by Field Marshal
Oyama's army is unknown, Toxic is
ALREADY celebrating the victory. Flags
ARE going up all over the city and
crowds are on the streets, eagerly buy
ing the extra editions of the local pap
.ers and congratulations are pouring
into the office of the Minister Of War
and to the army staff headquarters.
It is rumored that General Kuropat-
kln's retreat has been partly cut of.
insuring heavy losses Of supplies and
the capture of many prisoners; but
this 1t is impossible to confirm.
An official announcement Of the re-
suit OF Field Marshal Oyama's pursuit
OF the Russians is expected here later

Great Battle Ragged Ali Day.
a. m.-The great battle in Man
churia ragged all day yesterday along
the entire enormous front. The Jap
anese were generally victorious and
they drove the Russians from a series
of important positions.
BY nightfal it seemed imperative
that General KuropatlSin would have to
withdraw his shattered legions and
avoid a complete disaster Indeed. II
seemed impossible for him to effect a
retreat without heavy losses of prison
ers. guns and stores
Losses Exceed 100000.
The continuous BATTLE is already the
bloodiest of the war. Upon the ground
that General Oku alone gained lay
5000 Russian dead Reports from the
other armies are expected to triple this
figure. 1t is estimated that the japan
ese have lost 50.000 making the join
slaughter far exceed 100000.

Seaford. March 9.-While running at
a high rate OF seed the southbound
Norfolk Express on the Delaware rail-
road struck an obstruction on
freight train lying on siding at Ross

All Of the coaches on the train were
damaged and the mail car was nearly
wrecked. A window in the mail car
was completely torn out
The passengers were badly shaken up
and were greatly frightened. Had the

It, He has long wanted an opportunity
to see the United States. believing he
can learn much that will be useful to
him in his great work Of reforming
Russia. Having seen New York he
also wishes to visit Chicago, the I'M
portance Of which he recognizes.
He has recovered from his stomach
trouble, which caused him considerable
annoyance, and henes that his health
will remain good. 1t is possible, also,
that the czar will direct him to return
at once, in which case he will not be
able to go to the west.
Invitations have been received by the
Russian statesman to pay visits to
various parts of the country, but his
present plan limits his trip to the
points named.
