THE ATTEMPT TO murder the Presi-
dent of France, it is stated, was made by
p person Of weak snd perhaps slightly
deranged mind, who had been wrought
uoOn by the incorporate utterances OF a
part of the press and Of socialist and ar
ti-miitarist sgitatOrs. That is not only
possible, but also quite probable. Blu;
even under that explanation the incident
il not to be regarded IS Insignificant, as
the experience OF this country shows.
Ia the United States President was not
only fred at but actually killed by a
wretch whose mind, perhaps naturally
weak or wayward, had been perverted
and melted to the deed by the utterances
OF licentous press and of socialist and
anarchist agita,ors. Fsllieres was more
fortunate than Mckinley. That was
the chief difference between the cases.
They both involved the same abhorrent
passions aud practices. They both point
the same lesson, of the evil results which
may proceed from wicked or merely
reckless suggestions, even beyond their
makers intent.

Cen. AIikanofr Assassinated.

Alexandropol, Russia, July 16.-Pay
ing the penalty for atrocities committed
in putting down disorders in Russia,
Gen. Aliksnon, former Governor OF
Tiais, was assassinated early today by
terrorists who threw bombs at the car
riage in which be was riding. Nine.
Gliebof, wife of Gen. Glieboff, who

Alikanofi's son and Nine. Gliebof' q
daughter escaped with serious injuries.
Alikanoh, nicknsmed the "Wild-
beast" and officially known as the
"Pacifer" of Kutais province, was the
most hated man in the province. The
attack is credited as a fresh terrorist out
break. Fears have beea aroused that
outrsges will follow 10 other cities.
Two bombs were thrown. The 6rst
demolished the carriage and the horses.
The second struck between the general
and the woman. Both we're blown to
pieces. The street was practically de-
serted at the time and the terrorists had
little difficulty in escaping. In May OF
last year at BoUsm Ahkanoff was seh-
ously Injured by a bomb. Cossacks
fred on the crowd that gathered and set
fire to buildings in which they reirested.
Hundreds were killed or injured.
Alikanoff incurred the emnity of the

ing uprisings in Kutais province in 1905.
Hundreds OF persons were killed by the
Cossacks he sent through the region
while the fertile valley was almost laid
in waist.

The Explosion on the Georgia.

Boston, July IGNORE names are
yet TO be added to the list of dead from
yesterdays explosion on the battleship
Georgia.
Midshipman James 7. Cruise and Ed
ward j. Walsh are already dying. 1t Is
question whether Cruise can survive
until the arrival of his father, Major
Thomas Cruise, who is hurrying to his
sons bedside from Omaha, Neb.
Several of the Others will have hard
fights for life and the surgeons fear all
OF them will not win. The six who
succumbed last night died practically
from shock. The wounded who surviv-
ed until today have passed that danger,
but the fearful nature of their burns and
the fact that all inhaled both the flames
and the nOxinous gases that filled the
turret after the blast gives the doctors
the grayest concern.

forfeit his watch and all his spare cash
to satisfy the proprietor. This started
the fight.

ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTHERN.

ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTHERN.
AS the result of the derailment OF
three cars of a north bound passenger
train on the Southern Railway at James
town, n. c., near Greensboro, yesterday,
II persons, mostly employees of the rail-
road, were injured. According to an
official statement issued by the company
in Washington last night, the derailment
WAS due to Cracks buckling under
the dining car" A dispatch last night
says the wreck was caused by a mis-
understanding of orders on the part OF
W. o. Craig, operator in charge of
the block house at Carnegie. He let
the engine into the block with the under
standing that the fast train was an hour
and 80 minutes late, when it was only
an hour late. Because of threats of
lynching, Craig abandoned his post aud
fled and two other operators we're tried
before one was found who would be will
ing to remain in the block house dur
ing the night. Craig returned later
and will face the responsibility for his
mistake. Among the injured are: |. L.
Bowman, white, fsgmsn on train 30,
aged about 40 year,, of Alexandria, Va,
bad cut over left eye and right leg
slightly sprained; d. L. Balthis, con-
ductOr Of train 30, of Washington, bad

ant superintendent of the Southern Rail-
way, of Strasburg, Va, back wrenched

A SPECIAL committee of the American
Medical Association, which was ap-
pointed three years ago to investigate
the instruction and standards of the
various medical colleges in the United
States, mas now submitted its report,
which condemns about One-half of all
the so-called medical colleges in the
land, aud appeale to the public to aid
in remedyiDg this evil. Among the
members of the committee are Drs.
Bevan, OF Chicago; Frazier of Penn
sylzania University; Witherspoon, OF
Nashville; Councilman, Of Boston !;
Vaughan, Of Ann Arbor, and COlwell,
of Chicago. The committee finds that
there are too many Of these schools in
which preliminary education is iu-
sufficient, and in which the course
OF instruction is inadequate and the
lack of trained teachers evident. 1t
appears that there are now in this couE-
try 100 medical schools, or as many as
in all Europe. The report holds that the
great advance in the sciences in recent
years has made necessary a much broad
err and more thorough course Of medical
education than formerly prevailed. 1t
insists that four-year high school course
is required a year of physics, chemistry
and biology, two years of practical lab
oratory work, two years of clinical work
in hospitals, and year as inferno in a
hospital. To provide adequate equipment
of medical schools they must be endow-
cd. 1t is found that many of the medi-
cal schools are still conducted solely for
profit, which is contrary 10 the spirit of
true attainment.

TUESDAY EVENING. july 10. 1857
THERE ha, been another very serious

THERE has been another very serious
explosion on one of the big U. :. war
vessels. While the battleship Georgia
was at target practice the charge for sn
8-inch gun was ignitCd in turret, ard
many officers and men were killed and
injured. The Missouri, the Massachu-
sets AID the Iowa have suffered from
premature explosions or the burning OF
charges ia the turrets, and each accident
leads to some additional safeguard, but
the handling of smOkeless powder In
breech- loading guns in the very narrow
quarters of the turrets continues to be
very hazardous. There is apprehen-
sion among naval men concerning the
frequency with which serious accideDtS
have occurred in the new navy. Since
the Spanish-American war there have
been an exceeding large number of acct
dents due to explosions in gun tprrets,
and with the exception of the boiler ex-
plosion on the Bennington the greatest
loss of life has been due to gun-turret
explosions or the ignition of powder in
such turrets. During the SO years COW
ering the period from the close of the
civil war in 1865 to the destruction OF
the old batileship Maine in 1898 there
were % accidents in the navy, including
the total loss of % ships. On January
Is, 1908, charge of powder exploded
in an eight-inch gun on the Massachu-
sets, killing nine enlisted men. On
April 9, 1903, twelve-inch gun on the
Iowa exploded during target practice,
killing three enlisted men and wounding
four Others. Ga April IS, 1904, ter
rible accident occurred on the Missouri,
when by "asreback" an explosion was
caused which resulted in the death of
five officers and twenty-six enlisted men.
Ga April 10, 1905, an exl losiOn in one
of the six-inch turrets Of the Kearsarge
severely wounded three men.

THE W., A. & F. @. RAILWAY

II
The necessity Of reforms in the equip
| ment and management of the Washing
ton, Arlington and Falls Church Rail-
! way was yesterday urged upon Commits
sioner Henry O. Stuart, of the Virginia
State Corporation Commission, by q
committee representing residents along
the line of the railway.
Commissioner Stuart went to Wash
ington yesterday for the purpose of max.
ing an inspection of the road, including
the methods, facilities, equipment, track
age, and conditions near the scene Of
the recent wreck at Clarendon, resulting
in one death and about thirty other
casualties. He was accompanied by
Commonwealth Attorney Mackey, r.
O. L Moucure, representing the COM
muters' interests, Superintendent Gar
rett, Of the road, and others. Almost
the entire length Of the road was trsv-
ersed.
After the tour OF inspection, Commits.
sioner Stuart appointed Orandsll Mac
key, Frank Il. Lyon and r. O. l..
Moncurs a committee to draft recon-
mendstions OF any changes that should
be put into effect, in addition TO those
specified by the recent order of the CON-
mission. These recommendations were
drawn up and given to the commits
sioner before he left the city last night
for Richmond.
The committee asks that the route to
Rosslyn be supplied with large double
truck cars, equipped with most modern
improvements, and, In view Of the sharp
and heavy grades, with air and emef-
gency brakes; that, 1t through schedule
to Rosslyn is not put into effect, double
truck cars shall run between Rosslyn
and Clarendon on q fifteen minute sched.
ule, and not held exceeding Eve minutes
waiting for connection; that red and
white semaphores and lights be main
tanned at switches, except where double
tracking is provided.
The commission is urged to compel
the double tracking of the road between
Falls Church. the Aqueduct Bridge, end
Arlington. The committee recommends
that the road be given the following
time limit to accomplish the double
track i'm movement: From Clarendon to
Veitcbs Summit, December 81, 1907;
between Veitchs Summit, West Falls
Church, Clarendon, and Rosslyp, July
l, 1908, aud between Arlington june
ton and Clarendon, December 81, 1908.
Other recommendation are for the
better accommodation and safety of the
travelling public. The commission is also
advised that the road has failed to COM
ply with its order by failing to supply
sufficient equipment during the rush
morning and afternoon hours. The over
crowded condition of the cars at these
hours and inadequate schedules are
pointed out as needing immediate rem
edy.
Commissioner Stuart declared last
night that he had notified the attorneys
for the road to be present at the COM
MISSIONS hearing 10 September, when
the question whether the commissions
orders have been complied with will be
