Two Injured by Jumplnn.

Newport, r. Fifty persons had a
narrow escape from serious injury re-
Gently when they jumped from moy-
ing electric car to avoid the conse-
quences of a rear-end collision with a
work car, and two passengers were
hurt. They were Mrs. James T.
Kaull of this city, who received brok-
en- leg and Col. John l.odgers, also Of
Newport, who was badly bruised.
The accident occurred at Middletown,
on the Newport G. Fall River street
railway companys tracks. The car,
filed with passengers, was descending
the hill, when sand car sped down
the incline and struck the passenger
car at the rear end.
One passenger, who became aware
of the impending collision, shouted for
the others to jump, and all did so, and
the injured were hurt while so doing
The rear of the passenger car was

officers Severely Arraianed.

Washington.-Secre Bonaparte,
in his action upon the findings of the
court of inquiry in the case of the
Bennington explosion, severely ar
raigns some officers of the vessel for
failure to look after the safety valves;
orders Commander Lucien Young be-
fore a court-martial to clear himself
of the charge of neglect of official
duty" directs the court-martial of En-
sign Wade on the charge of neglect
of duty" and disapproves the court of
inquiry's finding that the Bennington
was '1n an excellent state Of discip-
line and in good and efficient condl-
tion."
Ensign Wade was in charge of the
machinery.
The action as to Commander Young
was taken in view of the fact that the
court of inquiry in its findings and
opinion did not pass expressly upon his
conduct and the question of his re-
sponsibility for the explosion.
Secretary Bonaparte, however, ap-
proves the court of inquiry indorse-
ment of the creditable conduct of all
the survivors Of the officers and crew
of the Bennington "after the explosion
occurred"

No Armlstice Yet.

St. PeteTsburg.-Thew war Office ut
$3.50 p m. Aug. 80 had not sent any
message to Gen. Linevitch concerning
the declaration of an armistice.
War Minister hudiger spent the day
with Emperor Nicholas at Krasnoye-
Selo, the big military camp near Peter
hof
The war Office addressed letter to
Gen. Rudiger asking for instructions
regarding the cessation of the present
DrenaratianR to shin further -tpAans-t~'
the front, ETC., and also regarding mob
ilization, but no answer has yet been
received.
There is reason to believe, however,
that Gen. Rudiger, after conferring
with the emperor, sent a message to
Gen. Linevitch creating an armistice.
1t is impossible to learn just what the
general said, but the war office is most
desirous of averting any engagement
which might result in needless loss of
life.

has been called on by the department
of state for an explanation Of charges
of disrespect to King Oscar of Swe-
den
Unless he can make one that is sat
isfactory he will be removed from the
post.
The department is in possession of
newspapers published in Gothenberg,
which have attacked the American
consul because of the failure on his
part to show proper respect to King
Oscar on the occasion of the latter's
birthday anniversary. One of these
papers charges that the flag of his
country was hoisted by every foreign
consul except the American.

Perhaps She Bet to Lose.

st. Louis.-Roland Harthes faith in
the ability of astronomers to accurate
ly forecast the eclipse of the sun won
him bride.
For many months Harthe, who lives
in Madison, has been paying assiduous
court to Miss Beatrice Simpson, pret-
ty girl of 20, who lives in Kane, ILL.,,
Miss Simpson agreed to marry him
some time in October. Harthe begged
for an earlier date, but she was OBJ
durate. Miss Simpson made wager
with Harthe that there would be no
eclipse of the sun. She said she did
not believe the astronomers could fore
tell such things.
The wager was an immediate we'd
ding. Immediately after the eclipse,
Miss Simpson declared that she had
lost her bet
A license was obtained and they
were married at once.

New 0rleans.-The official report to
Wednesday, p. M, on the yellow few
er situation:
New cases 46; total cases to date
1878; deaths today 4; total deaths to
date, 271; new disease centers 13.
The number of new yellow fever
cases has lowered around the same fig
ure for three days.
The new feature of the situation
outside of the city was the develop
ment of two cases in Vicksburg, which
were pronounced yellow fever by Sur
geon Guiteras.
Reports from Patterson indicate an
Improvement in the situation, but the
proximity of infection on a neighbor-

NEWS cooLLY TAKEN.
All Glasses in Russia AppreelatlVe Of
President RooseVelt's Work.

st. Petersburg-The news Of the
successful completion OF the prelimin'
ary negotiations for peace at Ports
mouth has been received here without
marked or even notable expressions
either of satisfaction or dissatisfac-
ton.
Tranquility is perhaps the best
term with which to convey tina senti'
ment of practically all classes In
Guiding the officials.
The general and pervading senti'
ment among the thinking element is
that Japan arrived at a recognition
of the fact that it was really impos-
sible for Russia to make any further
concessions because she desired to
avoid arousing among the people at
home sentiments which would consti'
v"ts -anst -serians menace in the
future.
1t is recognized here that Japan
also realized the necessity for last
ing and stable peace, and it is be-
lieved that the success of the confer.
ence was due to the fact that both
nations sincerely desired to effect an
understanding.
The hope is expressed here that the
same high spirit so necessary to the
success achieved at Portsmouth will
obtain until the work of the plenipo-
tentiaries has been finally concluded.
To this feeling can be ascribed the
fact that the more intelligent Rus
SLAMS do not regard the outcome at
Portsmouth as being altogether a dip
lOmatic victory or a success won at
the expcnse of Japan.
There are undoubtedly certain di-
vergencies of opinion among Rus.
slams on one or another of the points
set forth in the preliminary peace un-
derstandings. Those Emergencies
can be easily attributed to the exist
ing internal conditions in Russia. but
it is no exaggeration to say that all
classes are deeply and sincerely ap.
preciative of the efforts made by
President Roosevelt to bring about
peace.
Furthermore the general and sus.
tanned interest of the American peo-
pie in the entire matter finds due rec.
ognition and full appreciation here.
President Roosevelt's efforts, it is de-
clared, supplied the lubricants need
ed to overcome the initial friction
and TO keep the machinery of the
conference running to a successful is
sue.
In considering the lack of effusion
and all outward signs of satisfaction
with which the news was received at
st. Petersburg, it should be borne in
mind that the Russians are an undem-
onstrative people, and that the details
of the great disasters of the war were
received with the same apparent
apathy.
nett. is not ths custom Of the naonia
either upon occasions of great sorrow
or of great happiness. and the lack of
popular and spontaneous expressions
of satisfaction does not carry the
same meaning as it would in the Unit
ed States. Furthermore, news of
great events spreads slowly through
the empire and this initiates against
popular expressions of satisfaction
or dissatisfaction.

Severe Sentence Imposed.

Burlington, Vt.-One of the most

Washlngton.-The eclipse Of the sun

The observatory astronomers used
their fiye-inch comet-seeking telescope,

the spots had become known before.
