excitement in St. Petersburg.

London, Aug. ia dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Company from st.
Petersburg says the greatest excitement
prevails among the people in regard to
the coming manifesto BY the Gar, which
is expected to be issued tomorrow. 1t
is believed that the proclamation will
simply announce the creation OF the
national assembly which will be sum
moned to meet in January, and that
there will be no mention of the subject
of amnesty.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 1S.-The final
draft of the Cars manifesto in which
the announcement of the popular assem-
bly, will be made has been drawn up.
The date for its PRONUNCIATION has not
been fixed, absolutely, however. The
manifesto begins with the solemn an-
pouncement by the emperor that the
union which has always existed between
the Gar and the Russian nation must.
be strengthened, although the funda-
mental autocratic power must be strictly
preserved. While granting the Donna,
which will have only consultive func-
tons, the Car says that he is ready to
listen with attention to the voice of the
people. The first session is proposed
fer next January. The Gar says that
the D0uma is not necessarily the final
development, but, with the progress of
time, the assembly may change 10 its
form. The emperor concludes his man
ifesto with the statement that he is con-
tident that the successful operation of
the Douma will give new life to Russia,
weakened as she is by many disasters.
Arrangements are being made for the
propulgation, throughout Russia, of
the manifesto, with great solemnity.
The proclamation will be read in all
the churches, synagogues and mosques.

uecorerine the Dead

Norfolk, Va, August 1S.-Work of
recovering the dead from the wreck of
the Atlantic Coast line excursion train
which went through the draw into the
western branch of the Elizabeth river
yesterday afternoon was being carried
on rapidly :Eis morning Not only
railway wrecking crews we're at work,
but the big wrecking vessels Of the Mer-
rift and Chapman Company were busy
preparing to raise the engine and cars
which went to the bottom, freighted
with dead. Eighteen bodies have been
brought to the city and it is believed in
a short time when the passenger coach
is hoisted that at least twelve more
bodies Will be recovered. From the most
authentic estimates there are about
thirty dead or missing. Investigations
have been started to ascertain the cause
Of the accident. The bridge'tender is
said to have done all in his power to
flag the train, persisting in his endeavors
until he was carried down with the
wreck. Members of the crew of the tug
Glendale, for which the draw had been
opened were surprised to behold the
train dash upon the bridge and were
able to reverse the machinery just in
time to prevent being crushed by the
falling engine and cars. Four of the
crew cut holes in the top of the sub
merged coach and about thirty bodies
hoated up, most of these to be revived
into life. An examination this morn
ing would indicate that the train was
not checked by the brakes but by the
impact of the engine striking the bulk
head Of the center of the draw.
Norfolk, Aug. l8.-Divers at noon
went to the bottom of the river at the
scene of the Atlantic Coast Line wreck
and found full car load of dead men,
women and children who had been
drowned like rats in trap. The num-
Der of victims just found will pass 80.
Divers say the scene at the bottom of the
river is the most horrible ever witnessed.

ARare Feat In Surgery.

By the result of an operation recently
performed upon him by DR.. Samuel I.
Earle, ir., of st. Joseph's Hospital, DIR.
Eugene Lee Crutchfield, also of the hos
pital staff, has a cavity in his right side
through which communication has been
established between the outside world
and his alimentary canal by way of the
appendix, which has been sewed fast to
the cavity and the end cut of.
The operation is called appendices
tony, or Wier's operation. 1t is said
never to have been performed in Balti-
more before since its proposal by DR..
Wier in New York about two years ago,
and DR.. Crutch6eld is one of few per-
sons in the United-States who has thus
been operated on.
As a result, Dr. Crutch6eld is believed
to be in no danger of appendicitis, as he
can look down into his appendix when
ever he wants to, aud if it contains any
foreign substance, which is said to be
the cause Of appendicitis, he can easily
remove 1t.
That one of the results ofthe operation
is the prevention of appendicitis is only
an incident. The main reason for per-
forming it was an attempt to cure ulcer
alton, from which DR.. Crutchfield has
suffered several years. The operation
was performed July 81 in the presence
of II surgeons and physicians, and the
indications are that permanent cure
will be effected. - Baltimore Sun.

The Peace Conference.

Portsmouth, n. H., Aug. lS.-To-
days session of the peace conference
promises to be short one. The under
standing was, when the ENJOYS left the
hotel this morning, that they might be
able to conclude their business in time
to return to lunch instead of remaining
at their quarters at the navy yard, rs has
been their custom. The discussion will
be confined largely to Two subjects; viz:
the proposed restriction to be placed
upon Russia's naval armament in Asiat
ic waters, and the japanese demand
that her fishermen and seal hunters
shall be given privileges which they are
now denied in Russian waters of the
coast of Kamschatka. 1t is the intent
ion of the ENJOYS to hold only morning
session today, in order to permit ex-
changes with he Toxic and st. Peters
burg governments, and enable the sec
retaries to catch up with their work.
The statement widely printed that
when the question of the cession of Sag
hahn island waa passed over, the other
day, it was disposed of finally and
would not be again discussed is a mis-
take. Both the Russian and japanese
plenipotentiaries are agreed that that
subject, as we'll as The question of meet
ing Japan's war expenses, which was
passed over yesterday in the same way,
can be taken up again whenever they
feel so disposed.
Mr.. Korost0vitcz, of the Russian mis-
sion, however, announced that it was
the intention Of the plenipOteutiaries to
consider all of the postponed questions
Gin a bunch" as he expressed it. Be
sides Saghalin and the cash payment,
this general discussion will probably in
clude the naval armament question, and
that of the disposition of the interned
Russian warships. These four subjects
are the ones upon which advices are ex-
pected from Toxic and st. Petersburg.
They are the obstacles to the conclusion
of peace treaty. The first two the ia
panese are disposed to insist upon, while
the two last they could be persuaded to
abandon if, by so doing, they can bring
Russia to agree to the others.
Before the departure this morning of
the peace ENJOYS of Russia and Japan
for their conference room, in the navy
yard, seven miles distant, the announce
ment was made that when adjourn
ment was taken today, it would be until
Monday.
Portsmouth, Aug. Is. The following
official account of this mornings session

is known that the relations between
Great Britain and Germany have recent

extent beyond the knowledge of the
public. Precisely what happened has
not been learned, but serious situation
existed-indeed, it is understood, it has
not vet been dissipated, The British

viction that the German Emperor is
seeking to form European combination

Wife at Lodge; Cold supper;
Separation.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. IS. Frank
Trout was in police court yesterday on
the charge of abusing his family, the
evidence presented being that he had
slapped his wife, Mrs. Gussie Trout,
who is the junior vice chancellor of a
lodge of Daughters of America. ''Its all
because she wants 10 remain in that
lodge, and is kept out nights attending
its meetings." argued Trout to the court.
"She neglects the children, and come
home to find cold meals" "When a
man works hard all day he is entitled to
some supper when he comes home at
night, and he is entitled to warm suppers,
too" declared Judge William Lueders
from the bench. Mrs. Trout declared
that she would no longer live with her
husband after what he had said in court,
and Judge Lueders then ordered them
to divide their furniture and separate,
the woman to keep the little ones, and
the man to pay 81 week for their care.

After Mayor Weaver.

Select Council, the last ditch Of the
old political organization, opened yes
terday in Philadelphia the first real
battle against Mayor Weaver which has
been inaugurated since he broke with
the Durham machine. In regular ses-
sion yesterday they appointed a commit
tee Of seven to investigate all municipal
matters, the conduct of The Mayor and
all his official acts. 1t was announced
that the inquiry is to be thorough and
Impartial, but as every member Of the
commission is a red hot "ring" man it
is dou bted whether the probe will be as
impartial as is promised. The real pur-
pose is to try to find some ground for the
Impeachment Of the Mayor. Absolute
power is given the commission, and I'M

sion may issue subpenas. call for papers
and do pretty much as it pleases in the
probing line. Senator Penrose is cred
tied with inspiring the resolution by
which the commission was created.

The TAGGART divorce trial now going
on in Wooster, Ohio, is a disgrace to
army life and severe reflection on the
military branch of the government. The
testimony, however contradictory, shows
a most revolving condition of affairs at
the army posts where the Taggarts were
stationed and it is said that many of the
Others are more or less alike. The spec
tace of United States army officers and
their wives and visitors living together
almost in open adultery is most terrible
condition Of affairs to contemplate. 1t
is said that the divorce case may never
become an official matter. The War
Department officials are DESTROYS that the
same attitude of the government be fol-
lowed in that case as in all others of
similar character. There is naturally
every desire to avoid further scandal.
The testimony presented before the Ohio
court duplicates many well-known Off
GERS, though it is claimed that some of
the names of officers introduced are
without warrant. As the case stands at
present, it is regarded altogether as a
matter for the civil courts by the De-
partment. Later, however, it is said, it
may be found necessary to order courts
for the trial of some of the officers.
From the evidence it would seem to a
civilian that court of inquiry into the
case could not be too soon called.
