EIGHT DEAD;F0RTY INJURED
Passenger Train Crashes Into
Rear of Work Train.

Hartford, Conn.,, June PA pas
senger train on the Highland division
of the New York. New Haven and
Hartford railroad crashed into the rear
of a work train backing into the city,
killing eight workmen and injuring
more than forty.
In one instance it took an hour and
half to rescue one workman who
was pinned between the trucks. His
head was hanging down backward and
he suffered severely, but the rescuers
encouraged him while doctors reached
between the framework that held him
a prisoner and treated the wounds on
his face and head.
There are three unofficial versions
of the cause of the wreck. One is that
the passenger train for New Britain
went out on wrong track. The Sec
ond is that the work train had the
right of way until o'clock and should
have had a clear track, but that the
passenger train was ahead of time.
The third is that the. work train
opened a switch and failed to close it.
The engineer Of the work train claims
that he had the right of way and his
statements are borne out by others on
his train.

INTENDED AS A TEST
Resolution in Commons Cnrtai'-
ing Power Of the Lords.
PREMIER MOVES ADOPTION

If Favorable Action Is Taken Eli!
Will Follow Emphasizing the Prin-
cpio of the Predominance of the
Elective Branch of Parliament.
London, June 25.-Premier Camp
bell-Bannerman, before the fullest
house of the session, moved the adop-
ton Of his resolution curtailing the
power Of the house of lords. The gal
Ieries also were crowded, those pres
ent in that part of the house including
many peers who were anxious to OBJ
serve the beginning of the attempt to
reduce their power to control legisla-
THAT in order to give effect to the
will Of the people as expressed by
their elected representatives it is nee
essary that the power Of the other
house to alter or reject bills passed
by this house should be so restricted
by law as to secure that within the
limits of single parliament the final
decision Of the house Of commons
shall prevail"
Replying to a question the premier
said it was not proposed that the res
clution dealing with the house Of
lords should be moved in the upper
house after it's discussion in the house
Of commons had been completed. He
emphasized the fact that the resolu-
ton embOdies the principle Of the pre-
dominance of the house of commons
and said that in adopting this course
they were following certain historic
precedents. The resolution itself,
even if carried, would not have the
effect of law or procure the desired
results; bill would be necessary and
the government would exercise it's
discretion as to when it should be in
troduced. His majesty's ministers
now only desired to test the opinion
Of the house and make sure they had
the house of commons behind them.
They held the view that the house of
commons alone was authorized to eX-
press the countrys sentiments. He
declared that the only course open
was to recognize ungrudgingly the
constitutional authority which resided
in the house of commons.

STRIKE STATUS UNCHANGED
Telegraph Companies Will Not Neso-
tate With Union.

San Francisco, June 25.-No word
indicating an early settlement Of the
local telegraphers' strike has come
from the New York head Office Of the
Western Union and Postal companies.
Officials of both companies in this city
say they have been instructed to have
no dealings with the Photographers
union looking towards settlement,
but that former employees will be re-
ceived as individuals.
A new phase of the strike as it at
fects the Postal men who are out lies
in the fact that unless they resume
work at once they will lose standing
In point of emitting them to pensions
of 20 per cent of their salaries after
fifteen years in case Of being incapaci-
tated for work. The pension, which
amounts to $3.50 year at first, is in
creased at the rate Of per cent each
year for ten years. In case the strik-
ers from the Postal company return
later on they will be considered new
employees and will have no time to
their credit.

FIRST RESPECT The LAW
France Will Show Clemency at
the Proper Time.

Paris, June pa delegation from
Mines, headed by the mayor of Mines,
visited Premier Clemenceau and plead
ed the necessity for the immediate re-
lease of M. Ferroul, ex-mayor of Mar
bonne, and the imprisoned members
of the committee of Argelliers and the
quashing Of the proceedings against
the resigned mayors and other mem
bers of municipalities as the best
means of restoring tranquility in the
south of France.
M. Clemenceau replied that the gov
eminent was disposed to show Glenn
ency at the proper time, but that moth
ing could be done until the mayors
and municipalities had set an example
Of respect of the law by resuming
their functions.
The peasants in the Argelliers dis
trict are returning to work in the
Vineyards. The town is practically
deserted save for the troops encamped
in the public squares.
The reports received from all parts
of the disturbed departments are uni
formly reassuring. There has been no
further violence anywhere, but sol
diers in many places are still patrol
ling the railroads.
An incipient mutiny occurred at the
barracks of Avignon, capital of the
department of Vauclause, about fifty
miles from Marseilles. Some soldiers
Kissed Colonel st. James and sang a
revolutionary song, forcing the colonel
TO retire. Later the lieutenant colonel
Dalbier, who is very popular with the
soldiers, appeared on the scene, ad-
dressed the men and restored order.
