The train left the Grand Central
station at 6:13 o'clock, drawn by two
heavy electric motors and loaded with
a matinee crowd and commuters on
their way home from business in the
city. 1t consisted of a combination
baggage and smoking car and five
coaches. After stopping at One Hun
dred and Twenty-nfth street the train
was scheduled to run express to White
Plains. At Woodla&n road the four
tracks run through a rocky cut and
take a sharp curve. When the train
reached the curve it was running at a
speed estimated by some at 60 miles
all hour. Both motors and the smok-
ing car swung safely around the curve,
but the other cars left the rails and

covered. Fire started in the overturn-
ed cars. but the flames were quickly
extinguished, and the firemen lent
their aid to the injured. Special trains
carried many of the injured to White
Plains and Mount Vernon. while others
were taken to hospitals in this city.
The rear car, containing more wom-

car ahead. 1t was literally torn to
pieces and scattered for 100 feet
across Woodland avenue. Many pas
sengers practically uninjured tumbled
from the cars and hurried to tele-

The train was in charge of Engineer

CASE UP TO HOUSE
Senate Has Passed Resolution Which
Roosevelt Asked For.


Washington-The state department
Is awaiting the disposition by congress
Of the pending immigration bill be-
fore proceeding further with the con-
sideration of the Japanese exclusion
question. If the bill Is enacted an
immediate effort will be made to come
to formal agreement with the Japan
ese government that will insure the
continuance Of the present policy Of
that government of withholding pass
ports to America to Japanese laborers.
So far as the pending bill is concerned
it is stated that there is every reason
to believe that it will be acceptable to
Japan. At any rate there has not yet
been the faintest sign of disapproval
in that quarter.
An interesting fact that has de-
veloped in the discussion Of the re-
spective rights Of state and nation
where treaties are involved is that in
at least one case the California courts
have taken the most advanced grounds
in favor OF the supremacy of the trea-
ties, in one instance holding that the
treaty right of aliens to possess real
estate could not be destroyed by a
state law.

kAuLBARs DISPUTES 1T
Tells Different Story From General
Kuropatkin.

Odessa-General Kaulbars, governor
general of Odessa, today said the
charges brought against him by Con-
eral Kuropatldn in his book on the
Russo-Japanese war, were entirely
false. He continued
"On the eve of the battle of Febru-
airy %, 1904. the Russians were camped
between the Sha and Hun rivers.
submitted to Kuropatkin a plan, SUBJ
sequently rejected, to attack jointly
the Japanese from our entertainments,
the Japanese having none. The de-
feat was chiefly due to Kuropatkin's
removing my reserves to reinforce our
left, thus running into trap of the
Japanese, whose demonstrative ad-
vance on their right effected the de-
sired concentration of our troops on
our left. My forces consequently were
inadequate to repulse the thanking
movements Of Nogis Port Arthur
army. Moreover, my army was en-
trenched with 100 guns for an at
tack on Sandpur when Kuropatkin in
stead ordered me. to oppose Nogi,
whom, with his reserves, he could
easily have beaten.
ION February 81 my army effective
ly covered the retreat of the other
armies. 1t was hunmanely impossible
to do more to save the battle, in which
l lost $4,000 men"
In conclusion General Kaulbars
points out that the real causes of Rus
sian defeat were the lack of patriot
ism, and the revolutionary ideas with
which the reserves were imbued and
the activity of the Chinese bandits in
obstructing the railroads
