and, bo far as is known only threo of
tho occupants of theso cars escaped
death. Fortunately, two sleeping
cnrB and a diner, completing tho train
remained on tho track at tho edgo of
the abyss and none of thoso on board
woro killed or injured.
How many perished probably will
novcr bo definitely known, for tho
treacherous sandB are drifting over

was begun about midnight on an ox
tenslvo scalo and Is still In progress
tonight. All bodies found woro

been enacted that tho occupants of

did not reallzo that an accident had

CUSSED AT LENGTH.

agreod to, but Its naturo was not dis
closed. Secretary Hay also presented to tho

cabled tho Btate department by Minis
ter Grlscom at Toklo confirming tho

was purely academic and not In any
senso relatfvo to the attitude of Amer

powers.

ter Lelshman has been heard from

boo fit to make public tho mlnlster'n

oral statement that negotiations had
taken a moro favorable turn ami thero
was an expectation of a speedy and
satisfactory adjustment.
Thoro Is, however, n vagueness
about Uio Turkish statements and
promises that has caused tho depart
ment, having In mind past experi
ences In the way of promises, to In
struct Mr. Lelshman to see to It that
theso propositions are reduced to such
concrete form and are mado In such
a binding manner that there cannot
bo any question as to their fulfill
ment hereafter by tho Turkish govern
ment. It Is confidently expected that tho
Turkish negotiators will accodo to
such a demand on the part of Mr.
Lelshman and It is predicted that tho
initiations will bo concluded success
fully by Monday next.
