TRAINS CRASH;
NO HARM DONE
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PITTSBURG, May 16.-In the presence
of 300 delegates to the International Rail
way Congress, George westinghouse to-
day showed how easy 1t was to wreck a
train without causing any damage The
collision which Westinghouse arranged
for the entertainment of the visitors took
place on the interworks railroad. which
is owned by the Westinghouse interests
A train was made up of fifty steel cars.
which had just been received from the
shops. 1t was then distributed into three
sections. Two of these sections were al
lowed to remain stationary on the track,
with a space of about fifty yards between
them. The third section, with an ordin-
ary engine attached, was then drawn
away a distance of two miles
The engine driver pulled open the throt-
tie and the third section Of the train
dashed down the track at speed Of forty
miles an hour. There was crash as the
rear of the moving train dashed into the
cars which were standing on the tracks;
but, instead of the cars piling up on the
tracks in a twisted mass, there was just
a slight quiver and then they settled
down on the tracks again, at the same
time all three of the sections coupling
together automatically.
The cars and engine were equipped
with friction draft gear which, 1t is
said, will absolutely prevent wrecks OF
this kind
After the first test, Westinghouse had
attached to a train single phase elec-
trio locomotive and the same experiment
was gone through with. This is the first
time that an electric locomotive had ever
drawn such a large number of cars. The
visitors were astonished at the success
of the experiments.

NEW YORK, May 1s.-'Nan" Patterson
is going into vaudeville after ALL All the
chorus girls talk during and after her
trial about the little cottage in Washing
ton and the simple life is known now. as
it was suspected at the time, to have
been purely for publication. 1t was not in
her character, said those who knew
Nan Patterson.
The girl is to appear at house in this
city next Monday night She has been
engaged for an indefinite period, depend
ing on her capacity to draw. Her salary
will be $500 a week. and it is understood
that she will split this up with her law
yers until they shall have received some
thing like an adequate fee for their SER
vices at the successive trials. Lawyer
Levy repeatedly said in court that he and
his colleagues were not getting any
money for their work.
NAN will go on the stage in some sort
of singing part. with a background of six
girls who have appeared during the past
season in act with a well-known come
dian. Inasmuch as she can't sing or
dance, the hardest work she will have to
do will be to show herself to sightseers
who failed to gain admission to the court
room during the trial. She will have many
elaborate and more or less costly cos
tunes. After a season in New York she
will go on the road if business warrants.

LONDON, May 16.-The correspondent
at Tsingtan of the Daily Telegraph,
denying the reported German occupation

firm of Diedrichen & Jebsen is now
running steamships regularly from
Tstngtau TO Haichou, ana, as these are

The samc correspondent says that, on

BERLIN, May 1.-THE Foreign Office,
replying TO an inquiry regarding the ex-
citement in Toxic over the report that
German troops had occupied Haichou, in
the southern part of the Shantung penin-
sula, said the report was wholly incorrect
and one OF several reports designed to
make it appear that Germany was at

in Manchuria. The German Government
is doing nothing in Shantung outside of
fulfilling her treaty agreement with
China. which fact has peen commune

Governments. The Foreign Office regards
these reports rs spread to mislead the
world concerning Germany's aims and

TOXIC. May 16.--It is semi-officially an
nounced that the Government has re-
ceived conflicting reports relating to the
alleged seizure of Haichou. One is to the
effect that the Germans have occupied
the place, where they raised and saluted
the flag. The other is that the Germans
are merely engaged in surveying. Pend

RUSSIA TO rEND ANOTHER FLEET
Division of Warships Almost Ready to
Start for the Far East.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 16.-The naval
game in the Far East is watched with
intense interest here, but the Admiralty
is able to throw little light on the situa-
ton. 1t gives no confirmation of the To-
kio report that Admiral Rojestvensky re-
turned to Honkohe Bay. The Russian ad-
miral is keeping his movements and
plans secret, not communicating even
with the home authorities.
The many wild reports emanating from
Toxic are attributed to the agitated state
of mind of the Japanese over the coming
battle. The story that sailors from the
crews of the interned Russian ships at
Shanghai are being sent to complete the
complement of Rojestvenskys fleet is
nonsense, as is the previous story that a
large numbsr OF mercenaries were shipped
at Madagascar.
The admiralty considers there is no
harm now in divulging the fact that Ro-
JestVenskys ships are overmanned, in
stead of undermanned. When they left
Libau there was still hope that Chilean
and Argentina warships could be pur-
chased and portions of the crews de-
signed for them were carried on board
the Russian fleet.
Many naval men incline to the opinion
that Rojestvensky will pass out of the
China Sea into the Pacific through the
Ballingtang channel, north of the island
of Luzon, Philippine Islands, and give
Formosa a wide berth. instead Of sailing
through the 200-mile stretch of the Straits
of Formosa, in which the Russians might
be subject to a torpedo attack.
Another division of reinforcements for
Rojestvensky is almost ready at Kron-
stadt and will be sent out under the
command of Rear Admiral Parenago. 1t
will consist of two fine new battleships,
the Slava and the Emperor Alexander II;
two cruisers, a torpedo cruiser, gun
boat, transport and several minor units.
The division is now engaged in speed
trials and maneuvering off Kronstadt.
The appearance of this reserve division
in the Far East in the course of the sum-
mer. should the hostile fleets suffer equal
ly in the coming battle, is counted upon
to give Russia the necessary decisive
preponderance on the sea. The posses
sion OF. this division. naval men believe.
may eventually prove Russia's salvation.
