A TERRIBLE MASSACRE
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY NATIVES
 ON SIBERIAN COAST SLAIN.
Pirates Whose Identity is Yet a Mys- tery Killed and Piilaged Merci- IessIy--RobbeFy Only Motive
 of the Mnrauders.

San Francisco, June 1S.--News of a terrible massacre of 15o natives on the Siberian coast has been received here in a letter from Petropaulovski. on the coast of Kamchatka.
 A. Moorogravlenoff has written to his brother, resident of this city, that in the early part of the year the natives in one of the small settlements down the coast, which he does not name. observed a yacht or schooer drop anchor in the harbor and her coming was hailed with cries of rejoicing. on the vessel came a number of small boats. The natives could see the crew piling what they thought were supplies into the smaller craft. Then the men pulled for the shore. During that night or the next day there was heard the firing of arms and later on smoke and fire was observed. This led to an investigation from Pstro> paulovski and other towns on the coast and a horrible tale of pillage and mas sacre was brought to fight.
 About the streets of the settlement. writes Moorogravlenof, were strewn the bodies of I50 of the inhabitants, shot and out to pieces by the pirates who, under the pretense of friendship, had gained a landing on the coast. Rob- berv was their only motives for every hut had been ransacked and anything of marketable value was taken. Who the n1arauders are cannot be learned, ex- centIng that some Japanese were in tha party. When Moorogravlenof wrote the people feared an attack on Petro- paulosk.

freight, double header, was making good time.
 Just west of the bridge they came together with terrific force, the three engines being piled upon one another fortunately. in such a manner that sufficient connections were broken to relieve the boilers and thus prevent the further horror of one or more ex- plosions.
 The fearful impact drove the paseen- ger trains tender into the baggage car and demolished 1t and the mail car. In an Instant the scene was terrible one. Along the track on both sides were scattered dead and frightfu1ly mangled men. while most of those who had been in the baggage car and on the engines were pinioned in the wreckage out of the immediate reach of helping hands. The damage to other cars of the passenger train was confined ale most entirely to broken windows. doors and the injuries to their occupants were bruises from the shaking up and minor cuts from flying glass.
 Heart rending shrieks from the in- jurd brought to the scene the occupants of all the farm houses within a conside- augurated rescue worK. Farmer's wives and daughters made bandages of their clothing and household linen and work ed heroically among the blood and grime. One or two physicians who had been passengers on the wrecked pas- senger train gave their services. Re- lief trains bearing physicians were sent as quickly as possible from Baltimore and Westminster.
 Those taken from the wreck and who have since died of their injuries were:

DEBATING SEPARATION.
Church and State BilI Before the French
 Deputlea.

Deputies.
 Pariss June lS.-The question of the separation of state and church Is still occupying practically the whole atten- tfon of the chamber of deputies. The de- bate has lasted since March 20, but when it is considered that 1t means an utter reversal of the long standing poli- .cy which regarded the church as a con- stituent part of the nation. it Is not sur prising that discussion has been ani- mated at times.
 However. the ardor of the debate ap- pears to have died out since the pass age of the first four sections. though the opponents of the measure continue to obstruct its passage to the best of their ability. Despite this and the long interruptions occasioned by the celebra- tion of three religious festivals, East CT. the Ascension. and Pentecost. much has been accomplished. Sixteen sec tions of the total of thirty-seven have been adopted, the fundamental princi- pies of the new enactment therein conl- prised including the delicate questions declaring that the state does not give official recognition to religion; suppress sion of the public worship budget and the settlement of the great problem of the disposal of church property, the lat- ter forming one of the most difficult questions raised by the bill.
 A method of pensioning members of the clergy claiming long service has al- so been satisfactorily devised and 1t on- ly remains now to settle system for the formation of the parochial bodies freshly brought into being, for the di- rection of government religious edifices and also to provide regulations for the control of the services. These two points will probably arouse considera- ble argument The committee having the measures in charge shows much willingness to accept reasonable sug- gestions that itfis hoped the entire bill will pass through the chamber before the long vacation which begins about a month hence.

 This brought the negro to a stand- still and the mob soon surrounded him. He was thrown to the ground and beat en and kicked until he was unconscious.

 SETTLEMENT Improvement in Franco German Situation. DIPLOMACY WILL PREVAIL Much Accomplished by a Friendly Conference.

 Agreement.
DIPLOMACY WILL PREVAIL

Paris, June is.-The improvement in the Franco-G German situation took a more definite turn today as soon as the semi- official version of yesterday's conference between Premier Hosivier and Prince Radolin. the German Am- bassador. became known. This version shows that the ambassador asked Frarce to accept in principle the plan of an international conferences. leaving the details to be adjusted later. Pre- mier Rouvier answered that he desired at first to be advised upon GermanyH objact in securing the conference and the questions 1t would be called upon to consider.
 As the result of instructions from Berlin, Prince von Radolin was able to respond to these inquiries and to give definite information regarding the German governments ideas on the scope and limitations of the confer~ ence More particularly was he ablG to relieve the conference plan from any appearance of being a menace to France or of being a preliminary step to override French prestige in Mo- rocco.
 with these explanations pourpariers will continue with good prospect ok resulting In a definite agreements There Is. however. a necessity TOT further exchanges beween the governs ments with the view of fully defining the extent of the conference.
 Premier Rouvier also conferred at considerable length with Paul Cambons French Amtassador to Great Britain, following the latter's conversations with Lord Landowne, the British for- eign minister. These conversations showed that the British deciination to- participate in the conference had been entirely free from the belltgerent tons ascribed to 1t. Moreover, Great Britain is resolved to adhere to article of the declaration of April &, which says;
 "The two governments agreo to lend each other diplomatic support for ths execution of tho clauses of this deciar~ atton."
 Great Britain intends to Loyalty iH terpret this article and according ta the Indications furnished py her VIII assist France in settling Moroccan af- fairs. Therefore If the conference takes place Great Britain will partaka therein with the provfso that the Scope of the conference must first ba clearly defined.

TicIkIed at EnRland's Refusal to sup@
 port France.
 Berlin, June 1s.--The expression through a semi-official newspaper of Paris that Great Britain does not sup port France steadfastly in the Moroc- co dispute pleases German observers because that is precisely the view upon which the German foreign office presses France to participate in the initial con- ference, Germany maintains that Great Britain offers no serious objection ana has informed Germany that she will participate in the conference if France does. Opinion here today is that Ger man diplomacy has inserted a wedge between France and Great Britain and destroyed the growing friendship be- tween them by putting France in such a position that she made demands on this friendship which Great Britain would not meet.
 Dispatches from Prince won Radolin. the German Ambassador at Paris, which were received last night were forwarded during the night to the Em- peror at Hamburg, where heS was on the Imperial yacht Hohenzollern. prep- aratory to going to Heligoland.
