SteeraGe Passenger.

As the North German Lloyd steamship
Grosser Kurfuerst, bound for Plymouth,
Cherbourg and Bremen, was passing Rob-
bins Reef yesterday morning, man was
seen by Capt. Howe Of the tug William j.

oeeding slowly. was stopped within several
lengths and lifeboat was lowered. Be-
fore it was swung out from the davits a
IA ilor had thrown over life buoy to tho
man in the water, who appeared to be
unable to swim. The lifeboat oircled about
the place where the man had been seen
to disappear while the McCaldin hooked
I'D and headed for the lifeboat.
CarN. Howe learned that the man was n
at serage passenger and that he either had
wanted to commit suicide or TO get ashore
II the latter WA his intention II is likely
that he was .one Of six persons who had
been ordered deported on the steamship
The lifeboat picked up the buoy and was
holsted aboard the ship, which was de.
layed about an hour.

LIFESAVER LOST HIS STOCK.
Frazer Finds That the Way OF the Hero Is
Not ALWAYS Easy

Not Always Easy.
Sammy Friedman. 3 years old. fell into
the Fast River from Pier SO yesterday
afternoon. Half dozen men and boys
were lounging on the dock, but no one had
the nerve to 60 over after him. Instead
they hunted for rope, unmindful Of the
fact that the baby was too small to grab
it.
Rudolph Finger, 81 years old, was a
b lock away, peddling cantaloupes from a
wagon. He heard the racket and dashed
his horse toward Pier SO. The cantaloupes
flew in every direction. Little Sammy
had drifted under the wharf by that time.
Finger located him and dived for him.
The child was brought up unconscious.
Policeman Muller, who appeared as they
dragged him out, remembered that the
nearest ambulance call was two blocks away.
He jumped into Fingers wagon and drove
a bumpy course at top speed, scattering
the rest OF the cantaloupes. DR.. Ward
of the Presbyterian Hospital arrived with
the ambulance and revived the child.
Later in the afternoon Finger presented
himself at the desk OF the East Eighty
eighth street station.
"See here. he said. what do l get out
Of this? was selling those melons on
spec. They're gone, and people are eating
free melon on me- Does the city pay me?'
The desk sergeant was obliged to refer
him to Andrew Carnegie.

TOXIC, July 25.-The steamer Manchuria,
having on board Secretary OF War lei'
and his party, including Miss Alice Roose-
velt arrived on the Japanese coast at day
break. The Manchuria was mot at the en-
trance Of Toxic Bay by three steamers
chartered by the American Friends society.
These vessels saluted the Secretary with
hundreds Of bombs and display OF day
light fireworks when the Manchuria arrived
of Uraga where Commodore Perrys eH-
petition anchored in 1853.
From Uraga the Manchufia was escorted
by warships detailed for the purpose TO
Yokohama. The bands OF the warships
played and their yards were manned IN
honor OF the American guests. After
brief stay in Yokohama, where the Governor
and various populations welcomed them,
the party proceeded in special train to
Toxic.
The citizens here had been notified OF
the arrival of the Manchuria edrly in the
morning and began to gather at the rail-
way station to welcome the Americans.
The square at the station was decorated
with the brilliant red and purple banners
of numerous municipal glds and corpo-
ratl0nS. Inc streets IN inc Nicinily Vi .h9

many blocks. All the city was bright with
decorations, conspicuous among which
were the flags of Japan and the United
States. Even the street cars bore the
word Welcome
The party arrived at II o'clock in the
morning and received popular demon
stration that exceeded any that was ever
given here to foreign prince. The vel

the cordial greetings we're over the Amer!-
cans were escorted to imperial coaches that
were waiting for them and were driven to

with immense crowds, and the continuous
roar OF -banzai' which followed the party
from the station to the palace showed the
place the Americans hold in the hearts OF
the Japanese people.

at was a physical impossibility for
the switchman to have turned the switch
while the train was moving rapidly over
it. Statements to that effect are abso-
lutcly incorrect"
Mr.. Hedlcy said the switchman as
serted that the train showed signals in
dicating it wanted the Sixth-avenue line
and that the motorman disregarded the
signals indicating that the switch was
set for that line, and ran the train as tast
as though he were going to run straight
ahead down Ninth avenue.
The train was southbound Ninth
avenue local, and should have contin-
ued on the straight track, instead OF
being switched to the curve. by which
Sixth avenue trains proceed on Fifty
third street from Ninth avcnuc to Sixth
avenue. A Sixth avenue train had Just
passed, and the switch to the curve was
open.
Owing to this open switch the first
car OF the Ninth avenue train took the
switch, just barely staying on the rails,
and turned into Fifty-third street, in
stead of going down Ninth avenue, The
first car OF the train made the curve IN
safety, but the second left the rails at
the curve, and the weight OF the train
behind it swung it around end OH end,

Then it rolled over bottom up and
plunged through The flmsy guard railing
and dropped end first into the street.
As it went into the street some of It's
passengers jumped from the platforms
and windows either onto the elevated
structure or into the street. Some saved
their lives in that fashion, but others
were killed by their own fall to the
pavement. Then the trucks of the car
behind fell upon the already wrecked
car and helped to crush its imprisoned
passengers to death.
More than so persons who were in the
second car were hurled III heap into
the lower end of it, where many OF them
were killed. Some who were not badly
injured climbed painfully over the seats
and along the interior of the roof. which
then formed the bottom OF the car. to
