NEW YORK, Sept. ll.-The death list of
today a accident on the Nintli avenue ele

early morning workers on their way down
town, pitched headlong Into the street.
Mauds at twelve. Three men are In hos
pitals with fractured skulls (me of these,
who as yet remains unidentified at Roose
velt hospital, is unconscious and not ex
acted to live. More than two score of
lersr.n were Injured, many of them seri
ously. The cause of the accident and the Im
mediate responsibility remain to be seen.
The molorman of the wrecked train Is a
fugitive, while a switchman, conductor and
four guards are under arrest The switch
man Is charged with manslaughter and
the trainmen are held as witnesses. To
night Coroner Bcholer, who hHs under
taken the work of fixing the blame for the
wreck, announced that the switchman's
bond had been placed at S.n'Ki and those
cf the witnesses at lino each.
The accident, which Is the worst In the
history of the overhead railroads In New
York, came when a southbound train on
the Ninth avenue line was switched off
to the Sixth avenue line at the Fifty-third
atreet Junction. The motorman, expecting
a clear track on the direct line of the Ninth
avenue, or disregarding the warning sig
nal that the switch was oen. rushed his
rain along at a high rate of speed. The
Irst car swung around the right angle
urve. holding to the rails because of the
eight of the train behind. Then the strain
ecane too great. The couplings broke,
he second ear was whirled about al
nost end for end, and to the horror of
hose who looked on from below, pitched
nto the street.
The first indication people on the stde
alk had of the accident was a loud rum
llng along the overhead structure. Look
.ng up they aaw a shower of sparks, then
followed splinters and the sound of split
ting tlmbera. Suddenly the outer guard
rail of the railroad structure gave way. a
core of bodies wre hurled through apace
and with a deafening crash the car fell
to the street. For an Instant It stood fairly
n end. Then the sides gave way aa If

OINPHT' PASS, Manchuria, Sept. 11.
Oeneral l.lnevltchs answer to Field Mar
shal Oyama's letter roqiiesting the arrange
ment of an armistice was dispatched today
by special messenger. In his answer the
Russian command'r-ln-chlef accepts the
proposals of the Japanese rommander-ln-chief.
which not only refer at considerable
length to the question of an armistice but
also to n' utral tones both on land and sea.
General Fiikushima and Oeneral Ovanov
sky, the respective plenipotentiaries, will
mret next Wednesday at Chakhodza. on the
railroad, as propused by Field Marshal
Oyama. The place Is midway between the
Japanese and Russian lines. At the meet
ing all the questions at Issue will be de
termined except that referring to the de
limitation of the neutral zones, which will
be left for the consideration of special
delegates.
TOKIO, Sept. 114 p. m.-On September
9 the Japanese commander In northern
Corea dispatched the bearer of a flag of
truce to the Russian camp, but the Rus
sians refused to treat with the Japanese,
owing to the nonarrival of any notice that
an armistice had been declared.
There has been recent skirmishing in
Manchuria. On September 9 two companies
of Russian Infantry, with two guns, opened
an attack, but were outflanked by the
Japanese and fled In disorder, leaving forty
dead on the field. The Official Gazette pub
lishes a statement, based on medical evi
dence, of the use of dum-dum bullets by
the Russians In the battle of Vladlmoroff
trTid other engagements on the Island of
Sakhalin. It also publishes charges of the
Russian abuse of the Red Cross flag and
alleged cruelties of Japanese killed in
battle.
ST. FKTKHPBl'RO. Sept. 11. A dispatch
from Godzyadanl of September 8, only a
small portion of which was allowed to pass
the censor, says that on August 14 there
were 2i."i60 sick and wounded officers and
men In HI the military hospitals.
A dispatch from Toklo to the effect that
ships carrying contraband of war are not
subjert to seizure during the armistice Is
declared here 'to be Incorrect. It was ex
plained today that such vessels are subject
to previous existing conditions until the
exchange by telegraph between St. Peters
burg and Toklo of news of the ratification
of the peace treaty. The armistice will be
fully effective In all other directions.
RATE OF DISCOUNT ADVANCED
Imperial Bank of (ierniany Halsea
Price for Loans from Three to
Four Per t ent.
BERLIN, Sept. 11. The rate of discount
of the Imperial bank of Germany was
raised from 3 to 4 per cent today.
The controlling reason for raising the
rate waa the comparative weakness of the
bank's reserves owing to the heavy de
mands of Industry and trade and to specu
lation on the bourse.
In proposing the increase 'Ice President
Gallenkamp pointed out that the gold stock
of the bank had been steadily declining fur
some months, having been reduced about
21.eno.OOu since June 23, and that it waa now
at the lowest for thia year,
One member of the centrat committee re
ferring to the state of foreign exchange
aald that gold would be more likely to
come from London to Berlin than vice
versa, while on the other hand gold would
be likely to leave Germany for New York
in payment for cotton and for American
securities bought by Germana. This he
aald, was regarded as an additional reason
for advancing the rate.
While the discount rate in the open
market haa been tending strongly upward
for a week, banks are not inclined to look
up money in bills, and money on call haa
grown more abundant and eaaier.
It is expected that demands for money
at the end of the month will be unusually
heav-.

Empire,
TOKIO, Sept. 11. S p. nv In accordance
with established usage, the cabinet min
isters have presented an official statement
to the Mikado explaining the necessity of
Instituting martial law at the capital and
at the same time ticking the imperial Judg
ment as to whether they should remain In
office or retire. The emperor's reply, which
was made today, advlnes them to retain
their respective posts.
The special session of the privy council
today lasted for four hours. No bill was
presented, only a report from the cabinet
ministers. Premier Katsura making an ex
tended statement of the peace negotiations.
According to the constitution a treaty
with other powers must be submitted to the
council before ratification. It is unusual to
hold a special sitting for simply making a
report on diplomatic affairs before a treaty
assumes a form ready for ratification, and
the sitting today without a special bill was
rather unexpected.
Opposition political parties have appointed
an extensive committee to fully report on
sufferings alleged to have been caused by
the police during the recent rioting. The
progressives and their local branches con
tinue to press resolutions against the gov
ernment. The Shlba branch condemns the
government's assumption of the power to
suspend newspapers, declaring It to be
wholly unconstitutional. Quiet, however,
prevails in Toklo.
Peare Terras Condemned.
A mass meeting at Osaka passed the fol
lowing resolution without hindrance on the
part of the police:
The peace that has Just been concluded
between Russia and Japan forfeits the
fruits of victory and sows seeds of future
complications and danger. The government's
high-handed and unconstitutional measure
has resulted In unexpected disturbance to
the peace of the city in which the Mikado
resides. The empire's honor has been soiled
and the spirit of the constitution lost.
Never has our country lieen brought to
face greater danger. Therefore, be It
Resolved. That we hope that the humili
ating peace agreement will be broken and
the government will resign.
lirUeom Makes Report.
OYSTER BAY, U I.. Sent. 11. -A resume
of the conditions In Toklo is given in a
cablegram from Minister Grlscom to the
secretary of state which was transmitted
today to President Roosevelt. The full
cablegram follows:
TOKIO. Sept. 11 The violence to few
foreigners and the attacks on Christian
churches reported In my previous telegrams
should not be considered to indica'e any
general antl-forein or anti-Christian feel
ing. The former was quite incidental and
the latter due to sporadic antagonism to
the Russian church and some native Chris
tians. The mob offered to spare one Am
erican church If the minister could show an
American flag; unfortunately he could not.
Newspapers nave during many months
raised popular expectations so high that
intense dissatisfaction with the terms re
sulted. Sentiment among army, navy and
nobility is said to be more conservative.
Japan newspapers- have been suspended.
Martial law probablv will be continued for
some time thus insuring quiet. Meanwhile
the legation guard of twelve soldiers will
continue.
Knaalan Army Objeeta to Terms.
GODZYADINI. Manchuria. Sept. 9-The
peace terms became known here today.
The majority consider them offensive to
Russian honor and dignity. It Is not clear
at what station the railroad is to be turned
over to Japan, at Kwang Cheng Tse or
Chantu Fu. This question Is very Impor
tant. If the transfer occurs at Kwang
Cheng Tse, then Russia cedes to Japan
a hundred miles of yet unoccupied line and
likewise the only coal mines south of Har
bin. From Chan Tu Fu start all the trade
routes to the very rich Klrln province, and
should the road become the property of the
Japanese to Kwang Cheng Tse the com
plete possession of Chang Tu Fu would
place Klrln under Japanese domination.
Should the transfer occur Chan Tu Fu
or further south, Klrln rrovlnee which
has supported the Russian army for six
months would remain Russian, which
would be "artlcularly to the advantage of
Russia, because the southern portion of the
railroad has no outlet. This and many
other questions auch as the Russian's
right to maintain consular officers and
commercial agents at I.lao Yang, Mukden,
Port Arthur and Port Dalny, should. It Is
claimed here be settled before the armies
withdraw from their strategic positions. A
high officer declared today that It would
be impolitic to permit the Japanese to set
tle In Kwang Cheng Tse, for tn case of
another war they could reach Harbin in
fifty hours, occupy Klrln and cut Russia
off from the Amur regions.
It was announred by the Associated Press
from Portsmouth. N H . August 30. that
the formal recognition of Japan'a posses
sion of the Chinese Eastern railroad be
tween New Chwang and Cheng Tse, In
volves the payment by Russia to China
of a sum estimated at J75.OHO.fioo. This Is
the Chinese Interest In the road and for
It China must be remunerated.
The question of the ultimate possession of
the road Is a matter to lie settled between
Japan and China. Japar) ran keep the
road, surrender it to China, demanding In
return the money paid by Russia to China.
If It electa the latter course, Japan will
therefore obtain as an Indirect "'spoil of
war." from Russia the llb,,m In addition
to reimbursement for the coat of main
taining the Russian prisoners of war.

NEW YORK. Sept. 11. -The departure of
the Japanese peace commission for Japan,
which has been set for Thursday, may be I
delayed by the Illness of Baron Komura,
who is confined to his apartments at the
Waldorf-Astoria.
The baron's conditions since Saturday has

The fact that the general mass of the
people are not working with the same real
that marked the earlier stages of the fight
Is given by the authorities as one of the
reasons why yellow fever here Is not de
clining steadily as It was a couple of weeks
ago The death rate continues to be ex
ceedingly low because the fever Is now
only occasionally found among the Italians
of the city, but there are more new cases
reported dally than the Marine hospital au
thorities expected would be the case at this
time. Over-confidence Is responsible for the
check in the excellent progress heretofore
made.
The situation at Tallulah and Iake Provi
dence is now causing the State Board of
Health more concern than anywhere else in
the state. The fact that Dr. Tlchenor has
asked to be withdrawn from the former
place has brought to light the demoralized
condition of affairs that prevails there. The

NEGRO PUPILS ARE EXCLUDED
Friction Over Enforcement of Law
separating; Rarri la Schools
at Kansas t lly, Kan.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. ll.-Negro
pupils were refused admission to the white
high Hthool at Kansas City, Kas., and the
ward school at Bonner Springs, Kas., ten
miles distant, today. In both cases the
negroes withdrew quietly and there was
no show of a clash. In Kansas City, Kas.,
it is said the negroes will test the case
In the courts.
The Kansas legislature last winter passed
an act separating the races In the Kansas
City school, a direct result of agitation fol
lowing the murder of a white boy by a
negro pupil. Bonds were voted to build
a school for the negroes, and pending the
erection of the strueturo Uie hoard of edu
cation planned to have two sessions daily
at the white school, that in the morning
for the white children and the session in
the afternoon for the negroes. The negroes
objected, preferring to sit with the whites.
At Bonner Springs, the school board ar
ranged separate rooms for the whites and
the negroes, but to this the negroes ob

rooms simultaneously with the white child

INDIANAPOLIS, Intl.. Sept. 11. -The In
ternational Typographical committee and
the committee from the Typothetae of this
city failed to agree to an eight-hour day,
to commence January 1, at a conference
late today. The local Typographical union
haa ordered all their members In this city
to strike at once In every shop In which
the eight-hour day Is not In effect.
One hundred and fifty men are Involved
here. President James M. Lynch, president
of the International Typographical union,
tonight said:
I have Instructed unions In their respect
ive cities to demand a contract Immedi
ately for an eight-hour da, to commence
January 1. If the demand is refused they
have been Instructed to strike at once.
BLOOM1NUTON, 111. Sept. 11 Job
printers today struck for an eight-hour
day In all but two shops In Bloomlngton.
These two shops signed an agreement.
CHARGES MADE AGAINST KLOPP
Protest Filed hy Printers Over Em
ployment of Nonunion
Men.
An overture to the threatened fight be
tween the local Typothetae and the Job
printers over the eight-hour day and open
shop propositions was played Monday
morning when President K. 8. Fisher ami
the executive committee of the Typograph
ical union waited upon the Typothetae and
filed charges that the Klopp & Bart'.ett
Co. is violating the agreement which ex
pires October S. This firm Is accused
of having nonunion printers in Its serv
ice. Several men, It Is alleged, who do
not belong to the union are working
In the establishment, although the agree
ment specifically provides to the contrary.
The men In Issue have filed application for
admission to the union, but the latter
claims undue delay to completing the trans
action. The matter was taken under ad
visement by. the Typothetae.
"Not guilty." said A. T. Klopp when
questioned. "In accordance with the terms
of the agreement I shall ask for a settle
ment by arbitration by a Joint board from
the union and the Typothetae. I have not
violated the contract and do not propose
to have the question settled by the union.
This move may or not be for the purpose
of precipitating the strike In Omaha before
October 5. Anyway it comes, however,
the employers are prepared for a finish
fight."
The Klopp & Bartlett Co., according to
Mr. Klopp himself, has been among the
most active members of the Typothetae
In arranging to resist the demands of the
union. One of the master printers declared
that the day after a walk-out of the
printers would aee this ahop and most
of the other, big ones of the city running
at almost full capacity.
Later in the day the Typothetae held a
meeting and decided to reply to the com
plaint of the printers to the effect that
the Klopp & Bartlett company had denied
the charges and that the Typothetae would
not take further action without the sub
mission oT additional Information. No ref
erence will be made to arbitration in the
