Lincoln, Mass, Nov. 27.-sixteen
persons lost their lives in the rearend
collision at Baker Bridge station on
the main line of the Fitchbbg division
OF the Boston and Maine railroad dur.
ing the night. Twenty-Five persons
were more or less seriously injured
and others sustained cuts and bruises.
Those who were witnesses of the
collision say the local train, which
consisted of four cars, three Of them
passenger coaches, had just pulled out
Of Baker Bridge depot, small flag
station about mile and half west
Of Lincoln station. Just west of the
flag station is a highway bridge over
the railroad. The train had entered a
deep cut after passing under the
bridge and the rear car had just
cleared the structure when the heavy
Montreal express, consisting Of nine
cars and two locomotives, crashed into
the rear. The impact was terrific and
probably majority of those killed met
death almost instantly. The forward
locomotive telescoped the rear car and
passed part of the way through the
coach Immediately ahead. The sec
ond car of the local train was also
badly damaged, but the first car and
locomotive escaped.
The leading engine Of the express
was practically destroyed in the col
lision and the work was completed
when fire, which Immediately broke
out among the wreckage, consumed all
the woodwork of the two rear cars,
which remained on the roadbed, and
incinerated a number Of the victims.
The fireman Of the leading locomotive,
Charles E. Barnard. was burned to
death in his cab, but Engineer Con-
ners managed to escape in some
strange manner.
The second locomotive of the ex-
press was badly damaged. The engi-
neer and fireman of this engine es-F
capped injury and no person in the
coaches of the Montreal train was In
jured. All the cars remained on the
rails.
Many of the passengers Of this train
assisted in the work Of rescue. The
glare of the burning wreck lighted the
awful scene and above the hiss of es-
Gaping steam and the cracking of the
flames arose the shrieks and groans of
the victims and the excited cries of
the rescuers. Several passengers In
the rear car of the local train were
caught in the ruins of the locomotive
and coach and the flames prevented
helm from reaching them

What Japan May Do.

One of the best informed men at the
war office, who has followed past events
closely, and who has served many years
in Asia, said:
IF Russia continues the war she
stands & chance Of seeing her entire
territory east of Lake Baikal pass into
the hands Of the japanese. It is by no
means inherently impossible that the
japanese army should press on to the
very confines OF European Russia il this
should be deemed advisable.
THE military situation in Manchuria
is not as encourag ging for Russia as was
the naval situation before Saturday.
| The japanese army under Oyama is in
leyery way stronger than that OF Line
witch.
The Russians are led by men who
have been repeatedly beaten and who
paralyze each others efforts through
jealousy and hatred of each other. Time
and again the japanese even under mucn
less favorable Conditions have beaten
them. That they viii continue to do

Mastery of the Sea.
While fast japanese cruisers will un-
doubtedly scour the seas for the trans
ports and light vessels which were left
behind when Rogestvensky made his i'll
fated attempt to force his way into the
sea of Japan, he can now divide his
force, guard all the entrances TO the
Japan sea and spare the vessels for the
purpose of preying on Russian COM
nerce and hunting out Russian trans
ports.

The same thing might be said Of
many Americans. If you were to
want Chinaman as a hired girl
you would want to pick your China

certainly unfit for that kind of work,
yet others are famous as cooks and
for their cleanliness and neatness in
domestic service.

WHAT CHINESE QUESTION.

A correspondent of the State Jour
nal pounces down on a recent sugges-
ton that appeared in these columns,
that in view of the shortage in the
farm hand crop and the supply of
hired girls, the Chinese be given ex-
perimenta1 jobs in these lines He
cuts down the suggestion in the days
Of its youth and holds it up that the
public may see it's quivers.
ITO say nothing of their undesirable
qualities as citizens Of a free nation"
says our correspondent. they are en-
tirely unfit for farm work" and he
proceeds to prove it by saying that
the average Chinaman seems to have
no capacity for learning to handle a
horse, and the horse is still essential
to the work of the farmer.
"In spite of all the fairy stories of
the wealth of the Kansas farmer"
continues the correspondent, "he has
still to depend on his old and tried
friend the horse. The auto is vet in
the future as applied to the pillow and
the reaper. Did any of your readers
ever see a Chinaman drive a horse ?
The writer has had considerable
knowledge of the race in Australia
and on the Pacific coast, and he has
never seen one who knew anything
about the management. of horses, and
they don't seem able to learn
Yet there are places on the Pacific
coast where Cinnamon do considera bic

has seen numerous Cinnamon driving
horses hitched to big wagons of

correspondent, "and can be taught

gree, but horses are not in their line
