Strike Spreading.

st. Petersburg, Mar. 4.-The
strike movement is spreading again,
and stringent precautions have been
taken to prevent disorder. The gem
eral opinion is that there will be no
violent demonstrations. 1t is gener-
ally believed that the strike, so far as
being general, will soon collapse. An
alienation of general strikes and
general resumption of work will
probably be the program for some
time to come.

SEVERAL KILLED
In TRAIN WRECK
Passenger Trains COllided Near
Pittsburg Last Night.
Hot Box Caused Train to Stop and
the Other Crashed Into the
Rear.
MANY PEOPLE WERE HURT

Pittsburg, Pa, March Am a
rear end collision last night between
two special passenger trains from
| Clevenland on the Cleveland and
Pittsburg railroad, en- route to
Washington. six men and one woman
we're killed and twenty other pas.
sengers injured.
The accident happened at Clifton
Station, eight miles west of Pitts
/ burg, and was caused by the first
/ special stopping to repair hot box.
The second train followed so closely
| that the flagman had not time to
get back far enough to prevent the
collision.
The first train carried a battalion
of the Ohio engineers. 1t was made
up of six coaches and a baggage car.
The second train, with the same
number of cars, carried the Tippe-
canoe club of Cleveland, with a band
of 20 or thirty women.
When the crash came the passen-
gers in the rear car of the first
train were the principal sufferers,
land all of the fatalities were in that
car. The wreckage took fire from the
locomotive and the entire first train
and three cars of the second were
burned.
New trains were made up and sent
to the scene to bring the dead and
injured to Pittsburg.
Mai. j. b. McQuigg. who was in
command of the engineers battalion,
suffered both legs broken at the
thigh, and will probably die.
The engineer of the second train
says the block signal showed a green
light and his train went ahead at
the rate of about forty-five miles an
hour. When the impact came the
engine of the second train plowed
through the rear Pullman in which
the officers were and half way into
the tourist car just ahead of it.

BOATS SEEM
EVENLY
MATCHED

Dorval Que, July 2O.-The prospects
were slim for contest between the chal-
lenger Manchester OF the Manchester
Yacht club and the Alexandra, the Royal
ST. Lawrence Yacht clubs defender. in
the 18th annual contest for the Seawan-
haka challenge cup. when the little yachts
were towed out to the starting lins on
Lake St Louis this morning.
At 1880 the wind was eight miles an
hour, due west. The Manchester and
Alexandra were given their finishing
touches By their respective crews, and
when they were lined up for the start
there did not appear to be any great
difference between the two boats. II was
claimed by the American boats admirers
that the fuller stern OF the American boat
made her faster boat and this claim has
been sustained in trials made in the early
week. the American making good time IN
a light wind.
The course for today was streightaway
windward and return, a total distance OF
IL miles. This course is said TO favor
the Canadian boat. The time limit was
fixed at $3.50. Charles Routh held the
tiller Of the Alexandra and A. Boardman
was in command OF the Manchester
A question was raised about the me-
chanical devise 10 raise sail on Man
chester. but no protest was made The
