ss The electric train which left this
city for Washington at 1865 o'clock
this morning half an hour later.
struck a Falls Church car at Alexan-
der Island station, near the south
END Of the Highway Bridge. The

aged, as was also the rear end of the
Falls Church car.
Four persons are reported to
have been more or less injured. They
are:
@ Abe L. Cohen, of Alexandria, head
injured and other parts of body
bruised.
Harry Moore, of Alexandria, arm
injured.
Miss Ndwell, of Del Ray, bodily
injuries.
Mrs. M. Weber, of Ballston, said
to be slightly injured.
The train from this city was in.
charge of Conductor Beach, and
Motorman Burns. Both escaped IN
jury.
The cause Of the accident is diff
ficult tc ascertain, although it is sup
posed that the motornlan of the
train from this city made a miscal-
culation. He may have supposed
that the Falls Church car would not
stop at Alexander Island; hence he
kept his train going at the speed
generally maintained on that pars of
the road. The Falls Church car,
however, had made stop, and was
moving slowly from Alexander Is
land when the train in its rear over
took and collided with it.

EFFECTS OF PARDONS
Czech Leader Declares Austrian Am.
nesty Will Not Clear Politics

Amsterdam, July "a Vienna dis
patch says that when the Austrian
premier, DR.. Won Saydler, read in the
house of deputies the proclamation
of Emperor Charles, granting am
uesty to civilians convicted of high
treason, lese majestic and offenses
against public peace, the German
radicals protested vigorously. The
proclamation was applauded loudly
by the other parties.
: London, July. 5.-The proclamation
of Emperor Charles Of Austria,
granting amnesty to civilians con-
victed of high treason and other Of
fenses, would never have been, pro-
mulgated except for the success OF
tn. new Russian offensive, in the
opinion of Doctor Benes, secretary OF
the Czech committee, as set forth IN
an interview obtained; by: the Central
News. Doctor Benes, who has just ar
rived in London, is quoted as saying:
"The condition of affairs i'll AUS
tria is very serious. The emperor
thinks that by granting amnesty he
will clear the political atmosphere,
which is becoming rapidly antagonis-
tic to the government, but | am as
sured that in stead Of having a
favorable effect en- the further course
of parliamentary session, as is the
hope of the government, the result
will be the reverse.
"The emperor's step will not re-
move the blot. We know why the
emperor acted as he did. He wishes
to win all parties to his side osten-
sibly to participate in the defense
against the Russians, but the Czechs
understand the underlying motives
and will not be trapped" l."

ALLEGED GERMAN INTRIGUES

Department of Justice Will Exercise
. Close Surveillance in Future.
4 Washington, July 5.-That German
sintrigues against property and sta
sions of the United States Navy in
this country must still be carefully
guarded against is shown by a case
which is now before the Department
Of Justice, says a statement issued
here today at Navy League head
quarters
In a southerni city with a popula-
tion of about 10000 people, says
this statement, there is colony Of
German subjects who recently pc
titioned the Government, through
the Department of Justice, to waive
certain of the restrictions placed
upon them as their residence 'ih
fixed zones.
The petition from the Germans of
the. southern: city;' mentioned above,
was so phrased on its face that it
apeared to be an entirely harmless
request. Federal officials in the
South were inclined to; grant it. The
petition was. however, referred to
Washington. An Investigation proved
that there was on foot a. scheme to
place certain : German, gents close
to the Navy Yard where consider
able mischief might then be done;
Itihas now been decided that not
ohlys will the areas; from which
these Germans are barred not be
Limited or, reduced, but that in
creased surveillance over every
movement will be maintained.
The belief is. expressed here that
had :;this request =, been granted, it
was the intention of alien enkmies
in other cites to make a similar re-
quest and that in. the end serious
harm might have resulted.
