received a report from its marshal.
John p. Dohoney. who Investigated
the wreck Of July on the LigonIer
Valley Railroad. in which 81 persons
were killed. Mr.. Dohoney reports
that the wreck was the result OF the
reckless and inexcusable methods EN-.
ployed in the operation OF the line
particularly in the manner OF running
q passenger car loaded with excur.
sionisis ahead of a locomotive.
Marshal Dohoney says there were
ample facilities for shifting the pas.
songer car behind the locomotive.
which, II 1t had been done. would
have caused the engine and not the

of giving orders TO engineers. In this
case he finds that The order 10 the en-.
gineer TO hold his train until the
freight train had passed was not a
written order, but merely verbal
message, which the engineer either
did not understand or forgot.
The railroad commission will give
the company an opportunity TO an.

AGREEMENT TO SUCCEED
 THE TREATY OF 1892
But Russia Will Not Issue Passports
 to American Jews.

Washington. Nov. 14-An agreement Between the United States and Rus eia to take the place of the commercial treaty of 1892. the abrogation of which becomes effective January next, vir- tually has been reached, according to information from high official author ity Nothing as to the exact na ture of theS agreement is announced. It was declared probable, hoWe"e:, that 1t could be worked out satisfactorily 10 both countries before the date when the old treaty would expire,
 From such sidelight as Is ootGna- ble, 1t appears that Russia has not ccnsented to modify its practice of refusing passports to Americaa or oth- CT Russian Jews, The cZlrs gov- ernment has always held that such Jews. even though they are American citizens. are not entitled to travel or reside in Russia 1ecause the existing u ty provides that any American seeking to enter Russia shall submit to the laws and ordinances there pre- 1aIiing,
 The state department has never ad- mitted the soundness of thIs conten- tiun and when congress by resolution ordered the denunciation of the treaty --the actual though not the formal ground being this alleged discfimina- tion against American citi sens--the tepaitments position necessary be- came unalterable, With suen a wide difference between the tive countries both so firmly intreHehed, the one III a direct act of congress aHd the other upon leHg standing internal laws, ii seemed an almost hopeless uh1ertak- ing te prevent that complete sever snCe of trade relations besweeR twa friendly nations which had been dreaded by large business element,
