LONDON STATION FAILS.
T'7oo Dead, Thirty Hurt in Roofs
Collapse at Chafng Cross.

London Dec. 5.-Ninety feet of the roof of the
southemmost end of the Charing Cross Railroad
station collapsed without warning this after
noon, carrying with it forty workmen who
We're engaged in repairs on that section of the
roof The casualty list of tbs extraordinary acct
dent includes two persons who are known to have
been killed, two persons missing and probably
buried beneath tons of Wreckage eight seriously
injured and twenty slightly injured. The fall
ing walls of the station crushed the roof of
the Avenue Theatre adjoining injuring thereon
several workmen.
-Four trains stood in the station ready to start
and hundreds of persons were gathered on the
platforms awaiting the departure of suburban
trains and the arrival of the Continental Ex-
press which was due in few minutes when
the walls supporting the great iron spans fell
outward. With this support removed, the spans
fell with tremendous crash, crushing the fore
most cars, which were not occupied. The falling
roof carried with 1t the wOrkmen who had been
SWarming among the Orders.
All the casualties were confined to the work
men in the station and on the roof of the the
atre and to a few station hands Not single
passenger hurt.
For some time the scene of confusion was
Understandable. Charing Cross is the most cen
tral as well as one Of the busiest of London's
railroad stations, and had a larger part of the
roof given way the loss of life would have been
great As a result of the accident the station
will be closed for some days.

Secretary Root Hopes Something
Can Be Done Later.

That this would be an unfavorable time for rep
reservations in behalf Of the Jews in Russia and
that any action at this juncture would be unava-

Root IN 2 letter to Simon Wolf which made
public yesterday. Mr.. Root expresses his sym
pathy with the sufferers and says in part:
With the hoped for establishment of a more lib
eral form Of government and the restoration of ad
TuinistTative control over the remote of the
occurrences which are greatly to be deplored,
this government may look for practical response
to its repeated solicitations of freer treatment of
American Hebrews, and may be in position to
treatment of all Jews in Russia and the better
protection from the consequences of deep lying
racial antagonsm The problem is one which
strongly attracts the sympathetic attention of this
government.

The resolution follows
Be it resolved, by the House of Representatives.
OF the United States of America, That the mem
bers Of this House learned with profound sorrow,

people, ever animated by the spirit of Justice and
humanity, and strongly imbued with the recogni-
ton OF the brotherhood of man. which is the
GROWING glory of civilization, stand aghast at
the base Intolerance Of brutaized men, who with
out prOyocation, have in this age of enlightenment
committed unSpeakable atrocities and crimes
against life and property that outrage every hu-
man feeling, evoke condemnation and shame
the civilization of the world. The American peo-
pie have been deeply stirred with pity for the
fortunate sufferers, who have been plunged into
grief that beggars description. and tender them
the expression of their heartfelt sympathy. Be 1t

Resolved, That the President OF the United states
is hereby respectfully requested il he finds it not
incompatible with the public interests such
good and friendly offices with the Russian govern
ment the traditional and unbroken friendship
between the two nations may justify. and secure
such action by the Russian government as may
tend to prevent the recurrence Of such outrages in
future
