The men were on their way home from

the electrical storm last night lightning
struck heavy feed wire of the West Penn
Railways Company, which runs along near
the barbed-wire fence, splitting the cable
and causing one end of 1t to drop on the
fence giving the latter very high voltage.
Weaver and Louis Long were instantly
killed when they touched the fence, and 1t

WOULD IGNORE TREATY RIGHTS.
Sir Robert Bonds Attitude Toward
the Modus Vivendi.

Being under the impression that Sir Rob
ert Bond had secured about everything of
Importance that he wished included in the
modus vivendi relative to the Newfound-
land fisheries. the officials here were con-
sderably surprised to read the bitter de-
nunciation that Sir Robert heaped upon the
ARRANGEMENT. which was absolutely neces-
sary to prevent serious friction between
two great nations. They were disposed to
draw a parallel between the attitude of the
Newfoundlanders and the Calfornians in
this matter each, according to the view Of
the Washington government, showing a
lack of appreciation of the improperly OF
attacking treaty rights by local leg; g;slation.
AS matter Of fact, the statement Is
made that, with the single exception of as
serting the right of American vessels to
ship Observation-Disclosures fisherman, the
American government has, for the sake of
claimed by it. And this right of shipping
fishermen is to be exercised in a manner
least likely to offend Newfoundland pride,
for the men are to be taken aboard well
off shore, and not within the territorial
waters Of the colony, although the Ameri-
cans have always insisted that they had
the right under treaty to take the men off
the docks If they cared to ship there
However. the further discussion Of the
subject is regarded purely academic in
view of the fact that the modus is now a
completed instrument, and if the New
foundland premier carries out his an
nounced purpose of executing the colonial
laws, even where they conflict with the
Americans treaty rights. it will be the
the case, and not the concern of the State
Departnent,

TURKISH MINISTER COMING
MEHMET ALI BEY'S APPOINT
MENT ANNOUNCED.
His Post Will Doubtless Soon Be Ele-
waited to an Embassy-Peculiar
Status Of Chekib Bey.

Forerunner of the new embassy about to
be established by the Turkish government
in Washington, Mehmet Ali Bey, is coming
to the capital as minister from the sublime
porte. The news came to the State De-
partment from Ambassador Leishman at
COnstaItinOple, who cabled the department
that the porte had requested to ascertain
whether Mehmet would be acceptable in a
ministerial capacity. The department re-
piled without hesitation in the Affirmative
and it is understood that the new minister
will be in Washington by the time Presi-
dent Roosevelt returns to this city from his
western trip.
In the selection of Mehmet Bey as minis
ter to Washington the sultan has again
given illustration of the extent to which
personal association dominates officials in
Turkey in such appointments; for the new
minister is the son of one Of the intimates
of the Turkish ruler. being the well-known
IZZet Bey, the sultan's personal secretary
for foreign affairs. which office necessarily
brought him into frequent and close con-
tact with his exalted sovereign. In addi-
ton IzZet Bey holds the important Office
of legal adviser to the sublime porte. The
fact that. with sufficient influence with the
sultan to enable him to select almost any
diplomatic post for his son, IZzet should
have chosen Washington is regarded
manifestation of the growing appreciation
a factor in international affairs.
Mehmet Ali Bey will doubtless in a short
time be elevated to the rank of amba ssador,
for it was understood when Mr.. Leishman
was likewise promoted that the Turkish
representation in this capital should also
be raised to a corresponding grade. He
will Immediately succeed Chekb Bey, who
has acted as the diplomatic agent of his
country here for several years under rather
anomalous conditions, though to the per-
feet satisfaction of the State Department.
Chekb was appointed by the porte in 1901
to succeed Ferrouh Bey as minister in
Washington He came to this city In Au-
gust of that year, but, owing to the alb
sence from town of the late President Nc
Kinley, he was unable to present his ere
dentials and secure formal recognition as
minister. The State Department, however,
extended to him the privilege of addressing
the department on any matter OF Turkish
business, pending more formal status.
But then came the tragedy at Buffalo, and
when President Roosevelt succeeded to the
presidential Office 1t was not possible to
present to him credentials addressed by the
Turkish government to another chief mag
istrate Therefore Chekib Bey waited for
new credentials from home to be addressed
to President Roosevelt. They never came,
and for six years the status of Chekib Bey
has been underlined. and he will retire from
Washington without actually having held
the office of minister.

NEW YORK, September 11.-During the
rush hours in the subway this morning
young negro, whose body has been uniden-
titled, was ground to pieces by a north
bound express. The negro boarded q local
train at 10th street and Lenox avenue,
and, according to the passengers, he acted
as If he was suffering from a nightmare.
All the way down town the negro slept a
few minutes at a time. and then would
wake up with a start and spring to his

him out of his snoring, which was dis
turbing the other passengers.
The sleeping man leaped to his feet with
the same nervous start as before, and
promptly tried to climb out Of an open WIN
dow. The nearby passengers caught hold
of him and pulled him, struggling. to the
senses, and a moment later he stood up. and
as the train stopped at Bleecker street he
made his way to the door and stepped on
to the platform.
negro strolled OF down the platform, and
without word or cry leaped right out
upon the track. A local train was only a
few yards off. but somehow the negro
stepped out Of Its way.
He was standing safely on the covering
of the third rail when the local pulled by.
He waited there while a southbound ex-
press roared past, and then started to
cross the northbound express track.
AS the shrill whistle Of the approaching
train warned him he turned his head and
seemed about to jump back. but his mo-
tons were too slow, and he was caught
by the car platform and crushed to death
before the motorman could bring the train
to a stop.
Traffic was held up for about fifteen min
utes on the express track. and the express
schedule was badly delayed throughout the
remainder OF the rush period as conse-

Lieut.. Sheridan Doesn't Care to Be a
"Coffee CoolerD

Young Phil Sheridan was relieved from
duty as military aid to President Roose-
welt at his own request. according to the
statement made by the War Department
officials today. The fact is that he has
been for the past two years on duty at the
White House. and he was moved by a laud-
able ambition to join the colors and take
up his trade of soldier. Youngsters with
out any considerable previous military ex-
perience with their commands who are de-
tailed to soft places like that held by
young Lee and Sheridan are sometimes re-
ferred to by their harder-Working brother
officers as "coffee coolers and that ap-
pellation would probably have been at
tached in this case had not the young sec
ond lieutenant himself demanded relief
from his social duties in Washington.
No successors to Lee or Sheridan have
vet been named. but 1t is understood that
new men will take their places as soon as
the Washington social season opens and
the President is again located in this city.

MAY TRANSFER AOK]
TALK OF SHIFTING HIM TO GER
MAN COURT.

BERLIN, September 11.-Count Inouye
the Japanese ambassador to Germany, has
taken his farewell of the imperial chan
celor, Prince Won Buelow, at Norderney
preparatory to returning to Japan. His
successor has not yet been appointed al
though it is asserted that Viscount Aoki
the ambassador to Japan at Washington
will be transferred here.
Count Inouye is reputed to have a thor
ough knowledge Of German aims and poll
cies which would make him a valuable
advisor at home. The attribute for which
he will principally be remembered in Ger
many is the extreme amiabiiity with which
he has overcome all embarrassments.
His most notable diplomatic achieve
ment while in Berlin probably was that of
impressing the foreign Office with the idea
that Japan was quite willing that Germany
should retain Kiao Chau, the territory on
the Shan-tung peninsula leased by Ger
many from China in 1898, because, from
the Japanese standpoint, so long as Ger
many retains territorial interests in the far
east she can be more easily dealt with
after the Anglo-Japanese alliance expires.
In the absence from the city of Viscount
Aoki, the japanese ambassador, who is
spending the heated term at Buena Vista,
Md, no information is obtainable to the
possibility of his appointment to the post
of ambassador to Berlin.
The ambassador is subject to the orders
of the home government" said an Of
fetal of the embassy today. I'VE know
nothing here of his being transferred to
Berlin, either affirmatively or negatively"
The possibility of such a transfer has
been discussed heretofore. but at the time
the officials of the embassy declared they
knew nothing Of 1t. Because Of the Ger
man nationality of Viscount Aokfs wife
and her reputed wish to return to Germany
to live, the story of the transfer finds
some credence.
The announcement of Count Inouye's in
tention to return home has been officially
reported in the japanese official gazette.
Whether he will return by way of the
United States or Siberia is not known to
the embassy here. 1t is customary in the
japanese diplomatic service to permit its
representatives to return home once in
four years, and the embassy officials here
are not prepared to say "hether the fare
well call of Count Inouye on Count Won
Buelow terminates his official connection
with Berlin or is just preparatory to a visit
home.

Actions speak louder than words. Both
the form and the substance of the note are
regrettable. Germany has not reiterated
her appreciation of the policing policy, YER
bally expressed last week. but has mani
tested an ill-tempere red frame Of mind and
has given entirely inopportune advice

spite of the anti-French rawlings of certain
German newspapers Germany and France
have reached a better understanding" add
ing:
incidentally Frances Interpretation Of
the note will be expressed by the character
of her policy in Morocco"
