American consu. at Marking, China. reports to
the State Department that he has obtained in
formation concerning such project from Lao
Tsung Yao, chief commissioner of the Bureau
of Foreign Affairs of the Liang-Kiang provinces.
Lao, the consul says. is a highly educated
Chinaman a graduate of the Middle Temple,
in England, and has been admitted to the Eng
Iish bar. He informed Consul Gracey that he
had had several discussions with the Viceroy
regarding the ultimate fate of Manchuria should
this territory be returned to China the terrni-
nation of the present trouble.
Lao suggested the advisability OF placing Man.
churia in the position of an experimental ground.
He recognizes the effort toward reform which
ia being so strenuously made by the government,
and has suggested and discussed with the Vice
roy the use of Manchuria as testing ground
for these reforms such as opening the country to
foreign commerce. granting mining and railway

PREVIOUS al" ACCIDENTS,
Boast of Passengers Safety Failed
Since Use of Electricity.

Before the installation Of the third rail sys-
tenn II was the boast Of the elevated railroads
that they had no fatal collisions The only acci-
dents we're the running down Of some man on
the tracks occasionally. Since electricity was
adopted as a motive power cars have left the
tracks many times and there have been many
collisions between trains.
December i, 1902, a train Of the 6th-ave
line was switching "empties'' across to the ex-
press tracks at 134th-st- and Sth-ave. It ran
into q train drawn by locomotive. Two cars
were pushed over almost into the street One
man was badly hurt. On September Of that
year one man was killed and three badly injured

down.
An accident similar to that of yesterday. with
no fatal results occurred at the 53d-st curve. on
February Is, 1903. The last two cars Of a south
bound train left the tracks as the train rounded
into 53d-st. They hung over the street ana nag
not the couplings held everybody in them would
probably have been killed The passengers were
forced To walk to the 50tfl-st- station. No ex-
cuse ever was given for the accident On FED
-uary q there was a collision in 6th-ave. near
42d-st The motorman OF a train ran into one
ahead which he had been following so closely
that passengers afraid, had left the train at
various stations Several people were somewhat
hurt.
There was collision on the 3d-ave, road at
51th-st. on May 10 of last year, in which the
motorman of the rear train was killed and sew
eral persons badly injured The officials never
could find out why the motorman ran past sig
