CHAUFFEURS KILLED
Two Lose Lives In Collision
 With Farm Wagon.
TWO OTHERS ARE BADLY INJURED
Accident Occurs When Racing Men Try Machine at Midnight-Said to Have Been Going
 Very Fast.


 NEW YORK, Aug. 1O.-Two chauf- feurs were killed, two injured and two escaped injury when new racing car, bearing the number 80. 40, N. r., plunged into a loaded farm wagon in Thompson avenue, near the Winfield crossing of the Long Island railroad, tn Queens borough. The car is said to have been travelling not less than fifty miles an hour. The driver of the farm wagon was unhurt. He leaped before the crash
 The men killed were William Waller, twenty-three years old, of East One Hundred and Seventieth street and Forty-fifth street and Broadway and Harry Woodcock of Eighth avenue and One Hundred and Thirty fifth street.
 The men injured are in St. Johns hospital in Long Island City. They are Frederick Reissenberg, twenty five years old. and William Brown, twenty one years old, of 132 West Twentieth street. Reissenberg has contusions of the back and sprained spine. Brown suffers from decorations and abrasions yof the face and badly sprained left swrist. The other two men were John Chandler of 22S West Forty-fifth sstreet and John Haverly of Fiftieth street, near Eleventh avenue.
 Brown, the police of Newtown say, Is under arrest at the hospital for driv- ing on the wrong side of the road
 The car was taken out by Brown to try. The other i've went along to wit ness the test. There was no destina- .tion, the route simply being out along zthe Thompson boulevard. It was close sto midnight, and there was not much chance of meeting anything but auto mobiles. The farm wagon which was struck was bound for Manhattan. It was being driven by Herman Wricke of Elmhurst and was loaded with gen. eral garden produce.
 The automobile was speeding toward Jamaica, and those who saw it before the smash say that seldom before had anything torn along the road as it did. Wricke saw the headlights flying to- ward him and pulled well over, but the machine kept straight toward him. and he jumped. FI 4
 Apparently Brown saw the wagon just too late. He swerved and avoided running into both horses, but he took the feet from under one of them and then crashed into the wheel and body of the heavy wagon. The blow smash ed the wagon and overturned it, scat tering the produce all over the ground for a hundred feet. The horse that was hit was badly injured. Reissen- berg and Waller were hurled through the air, and both landed on their heads. Their skulls were crushed. Reissenberg was dead wHAsf pitkeh up. Waller lived awhile, and an automo- bile party which came along offered to take him to St. Johns hospital. The car reached there in couple of min- utes. but Waller was dead.
 wicke is also held at the police sta- tion in Newtown charged with driving on the wrong side of the road. Both he and the men in the automobile deny they were violating the law in this re- gard. The automobilists say they were not exceeding the speed limit and put the blame for the accident on the farmer.

Improvement In Situation to De
 Marked by Visit to Guards.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 10.-In view of the improvement in the situa. tion number of the guard regiments have returned to their summer camp at Tsarskoe Sclo. The emperor has arranged to go there and Spend Ave days.
 These imperial visits to the guards camp are gala occasions and are al. ways marked by festivities, theatri. calls, banqueting and toasting among the various regiments.
 The empress yacht Alexandra steamed to Peterhof, leading to the belief that the imperial family will soon make its postponed visit to Fin nish waters.
 Court circles are greatly relieved by the prospect of period of calm. which will give the government an oppor- tunity to begin its programme.
 The following appointments to the cabinet have been officially confirmed: Prince Vassilchikoff, minister of agri- culture; NJ. Filossofoff, minister of commerce; NJ. Iswolsky, procurator general of the holy synod.
 The Rossia says 1t is the intention of the government to fight counter revolution with the same energy it has been waging war against the enemies of society" and expresses the hope that moderate public opinion equally hostile to both extremes will grow rapidly.
 The Novoe Vremya, taking as its text the failure to employ summary executions as a deterrent to mutinies, complains that for years it has been felt that the government has not un- derstood how to employ f1rmness, add ing that instead of the ''iron hand in the velvet glove" there has been a putty hand clothed in an iron glove"
 The court of inquiry into the recent mutiny at Cronstadt advises the re- placement of Admiral Birileff, minister of marine, by some other officer as the head of the Russian navy.
 It is said that the place has been offered to Vice Admiral Dubasoff, who was governor general of Moscow up to July IS, when he resigned on account of the condition of his health.
 He is still suffering from the effects of wounds he received in Moscow on May 6, when bomb was thrown at him in the street as he was returning from a service in the cathedral.

LAW AGAINST FRAUD.

The object OF the pure food bill, re-

fact that worthless, and even poisonous
Ingredients are mixed with foodstuffs

A REMARKABLE WOMAN.


The Chinese Empress who may
soon again become notable figure on
the stage Of current history, has had
a most romantic career She has risen
from the position Of o slave girl to
one of the most potent influence in the
empire For as the mother OF the
Emperor, she Is the real ruler A
European lady who visited the Chinese
court some time ago. gives the follow-
ing description Of that remarkable
woman
she sat upon q diyan covered with
figured Chinese silk of bea Jtiful
yolk-of-ePg color Being low OF stat
urc her foot (which are % natural
size. she being Mnnchu) barely
touched The ground, and only her
head and shoulders were visible over
the table plncad I'm front Of her. She
wore a Chinese coat OF dlaphnnous
pale-blue yllk material covered with
the most exquisite Chinese embroidery
OF vine, leaves and grapes. Round
her neck was a gale-buc satin rib
bon studded with large, lustrous
pearls, pierced and sewn TO the ribbon.
Her head was dressed according to
the Mauchu fashion. the hair being
parted In front and brushed smoothly
over the ears, caught up ut the back
and draped high and wide over a kind
Of papor-cutter OF dark green Jade set
crosswise on the head The ends Of
this papcr-cutter wore decorated with
great lunches Of artificial flowers, but
tcriiies and hanging crimson silk tas-
sells
Her complexion ~ that Of a North
Italian. and being q widow her checks
are implanted and unpowdered. Her
piercing dark eyes roved curiously
about among her surroundings, Her
age II slxty-eight, but her hair being
dyed jet black and most Of II artificial,
her appearance Is that Of a much
younger woman.
Her hands are long and tapcring
and very prettily shaped, but they are
disfgured by the curious national GUS
tom Of letting the nails grow inordi-
nately long The nails " the two
smaller fingers Of the right hand were
protected by gold shields which Mt
ted to the finger like a lady's thimble
and gradually tapered of to a length
Of three or four inches"
Much has been said, especially by
soctarlan missionaries about the de-
graduation of woman in Aslatic coun-
tries, and in China In particular, and
we presume the condition Of the poor,
both men aud women, Is deplorable
enough but where woman has the
opportunities of advancement shown
in the career of Isl An, and where

SELL THE PHILIPPINES?

Some Of our contemporaries are
! advocating the sale Of the Philippine
Islands to Japan. In so doing they
are but sustaining certain portion
ot the Japanese press that has COM
rnenced an AGITATION for the peaceful
acquisition Of those islands.
We are told by American papers that
American methods Of dealing with the
Filipinos are ineffective. and that the
Japanese are much better equipped
for the task OF educating the islanders.
Il is IN other words. held that Ameri-
ca must accord Japan the lrst piace

Of our patriots mt home actually fear
It seems. for the consequences Of the
spread Of American institutions and
principles. They would limit those
privileges to as small an area as nos
slble. as If fearing their general appli-
cation. And so they clamor FOR the
lowering Of our Flag in the Philippines.
and the sale Of the group OF Islands to
Japan.
They do not even ask what the de-
sire Of the Filiplnos is in the matter.
They seem TO take II for granted that
the inhabitants should have no voice
in the disposition OF their land We
have every reason to believe that the
vast majority OF civilized FEpinos
prefer aflllhtion with America to Jap
anese rule. Possibly they would well
come autonomy and complete indie
pendence but that does not mean that
they would exchange their present
form Of government for Japanese iron
rule, There is every reason to believe
that those who know enough 10 form
an opinion of their own are perfectly
satisfied with the conditions as they
now are, because they understand that
self-rule under the American flag Is
but a question OF time and education.
1t will surely come, when the people
are prepared for 1t.
Reports Of satisfactory progress In
the Philippine islands are not infre-
quent Secretary Taft. not long ago,
In public address said that In Manila
he met 400 Filipino girls and boys who

teach the English language and the
rudiments Of education to the children
of their own race. lie also stated that
In 1900 schools In the islands the
Star Spangled Banner was being
sung in English. and that the memory
of George Washington was being re-
vered by those brown skinned boys
and girls In those schools, Just as II Is
revered in America. Why should they
be sold to an Asiatic power. after they
have just commenced to taste the
fruits OF American civilization?
The chief Asiatic nations will be
fast enough in power, and
probably in arrogance. without such
aid from the Occident. Let us keep the
American flag aloft wherever II has
been raised. and do our full duty TO all
who have found a refuge under It's
protecting folds. That Is the demand
Of true patriotism. That is an obliga-
ton from which Americans should not
shrink.
