The train, which left Chlearo at it o'clock lat night and was due here at 10:30 this morning, is a through train running octween Chi cago and Bnn Francisco. It was running at a higher spued than usual today, being ten or fUteen minutes behind Its schedule.

The cars which left the track were a mall car, a baggage and express car, the smoking car, a chulr car and a tourist sleeping car. Three tourist sleepers, two standard Pullmans and the dining car remained on the track. The Smoking car split the baggage car ahead of It Just below the floor line, and the baggage ear when It stopped was on top of what was left of the smoking car. The othr derailed cars were Jammed against the rocks of the bluff, except the splintered fragments of the smoker. None of the passengers In the cars which remained on the track were hurt. Work of Belief. Relief trains with physicians and Bur geons left this city for the scene of the wreck aa soon as possible. Pending the arrival of the relief trains the able-bodied passengers and trainmen did all they could to care for the dead and alleviate J-he dis tress of the injured . Their effort wei v handicapped by a cold rain Which ' fell steadily and added to the gloom of the situation. The passengers worked heroic ally under dlfneultles, and when the doc tors arrived most of the dead and injured had been taken out of the wreckage. In many instances it was necessary to ,dlg under (he debits to extricate the unfor tunate victims. One man in the smoker had been pinioned against a hot stove, with one foot in the stove, suffering untold agony as his foot was slowly burned by live coals. This' was one of the many agonizing scenes witnessed by the rescuers. The injured were given emergency treat ment at the scene of the' wreck and later brought to hospitals In this city, where It Is reported tonight that all will recover.

OPTIMISTIC CONCERNING THE CANAL Sees o Obstacles In the Way of Con struction of Bljr Ditch, Which He Believes Will Be Complete In Fifteen fears. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. Oct. 30.-(Speclal Tele gram.) J. A. Market of Omaha, who was recently awarded a large contract for feeding the people employed on the Panama canal which called for the expenditure of many millions of dollars In the Panama canal sone and which later was cancelled, Is In Washington, presumably preparing to establish the commissariat for a railroad to be built In Virginia. This proposed new railroad seems to be of rather mysterious origin, but It will be built, so it Is said. Mr. Market stated that he has no knowl edge of the Interests back of this new enterprise, nor does he care, his business at present being tnfurnish men and food for railroad projects anywhere throughout the United States. Locating the Camps. Since the days when Market conducted the Millard hotel in Omaha and eating houses along the line of the Union Pacific railroad he has branched out In numerous directions Mr. Markel now maintains an office In New York and Is M the field to supply new railroad companies wfth com missary stores, with laborers, with hos pitals and physicians. Tomorrow Mr. Mar ket will go over the road, the location of which he does not even know, with a view of locating provision camps. lie has had mediately after the new year. there are no great engineering problems to be overcome. After six months on the zone, he gives It as his opinion that labor can be obtained from countries adjacent to Panama and that it would be a mistake to employ either Chinese or. Japanese labor. . 1 Three Things Essential. "Three things are essential In the build ing of the canal." said Mr. Markel.

Some such scheme as 1 suggested, however, will have to be adopted for feeding the laborers on the canal and I still hope that my plan will be adopted THREE HURT IN AUTO SMASHUP Walter Scott, the Spendthrift Miner, Fatally Injured While Trying; to Win.

In Issuing the writ, stated that it was necessary that the members of the finance committee of the school board be notified of every step In the proceedings nd that the state's attorney be given ample time to go through the petition, which covers many paKes of typewritten matter. He denied the petition of Messrs. F. J. Qulnn and J. A. Well, attorneys for Dougherty, to hear t.he petition today or tomorrow. The petition was brought for the purpose of reducing the baft In which Dougherty Is now held and which aggregates S101.000 The petition avers tht out of the tftal of 1 140 Indictments returned against the defend ant that sixty-three hare been discovered, which are practically duplicates. This number the petitioner asks to have trlcken from the list The petition also declares that It la Im possible for Dougherty to give (he ball de manded, which It la declared is out of all proportion to the amount alleged to have beeen embessled and asks to have the . amount fixed at I25.OTP or JBO.Ono. which the defendant believes he can furnish.

In return for this he would take school scrip and orders on the school treasurer, wltn which he would reimburse himself for the advances thus made. The petition declares ' that If there are any alleged shortages it -will be discovered that they have arisen from a "confusion of accounts." It further declares that If he Is confined In Jail that his private In terests will suffer to the extent of at least $15,000; that one bank, at leant, in which he was Interested has been forced to close its doors; that threats have been made to force him into bankruptcy, h which case the securities which he has deposited with the school board to cover any alleged shortage will seriously depreciate in value and thus cause a probable loss to the school board, and, lastly, that his liberty is nec essary to the preparation of the defense of the charges made against him.

D0UMA WILL BE REPRESENTATIVE It Win Have Absolute Legislative Powers and Determine the Extension of the Franchise. TKXT OF THE MANIFESTO. We, Nicholas II, by the grace of Ood. emperor and autocrat of all the Russia, grnnd duke of Finland, etc., declare to all our faithful suhjerts that the trouble and agitation in our capitals and in numerous places fill our heart witi, excessive pain and sorrow. The .happiness of the Russian sovereign Is Indlssolubly bound up with tho happi ness of our people, and the sorrow of our people Is the sorrow of the sovereign. From tho present disorders may arise great national disruption. They menace the Integrity and unity of our empire. The supreme duty Imposed upon us by our sovereign office requires tis to efface ourself and to URe all tho force and reason at our command to h.isten In securing the unity and co-ordination of the powers of the central government and to assure the success of measures for pacification of all circles of public life, which are essential to the well being of our people. We, therefore, direct our government to carry out our Inflexible will In the follow. Ins manner: "First To extend to the population the Immutable foundations of civic liberty, based on the real inviolability of person, freedom of conscience, speech, union and association. "Second Without suspending the already ordered elections to the stato douina, to Invite the participation In tho douma so far as the limited time before the convoca tion of the douma will permit, those classes of the population now completely deprived of electoral rights, leaving the ultimata development of the principle of the elec toral right In general to the newly estab lished tcgislutivo wder. of thjigtv -. . "Thtvd To eetahltnu as an 'unchangeable rule that no law shall be enforceable with out the Approval of the state douma," and that it Bhall be possible for tho elected representatives of the people to exercise real participation in the supervision of the legality of the acts of the authorities ap pointed by us." We appeal to all faithful sons of .Russia to remember their duty towards the father land, to aid In terminating these unprece dented troubles and to apply, their forces In eo-opcratlou with us to the restoration of calm and peace uxm our r.atal soil. Given at l'eterhof, October 30, in the eleventh year ol our reign. NICHOLAS. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. SO-MidnlghU "1 um sure the American eople. who un derstand what freedom In, and the Ameri can press, which voices the wishes of the I people, will rejoice with the friendly Rus sian nation at this moment, when the Itus rton people have received 'from his Im perial majesty the promises and the guar antees of freedom and wilt Join in the hope that the Russian people wllf wisely aid In the realization of those liberties by co-operating with the government for thoir peaceful introductkn. Only thus will It be possible to secure tho full benefits of the freedom conferred upon the people." Count Witte, Russia's first premier, to night sent the above message to the Ameri can people through the Associated Press. End of the Autocracy. He had Juat arrived at his residence on Kamnienenrovrov prospect from Peterhof, where, in the Alexander palace., the em peror two hours before had given his final apprpval to a manifesto and to a program which will forever end the rule of ab solutism exercised by him and his Romanoff ancestors for 300 years. A simple perusal of the manifesto shows how complete Is the emperor's abdication of bis autocratic power. The very style of the document Is clear and direct and de void of tho verbose, vague and bombastic phraseology which heretofore has charac terized his majesty's manifestos. It not only betrays real authorship, but shows that the emperor at last has Irrevocably bowed to the Inevitable. He does not even conceal the fact that the discontent and agitation of his subjects has driven nun to take the step and practically yields every thing civil liberty, the Inviolability of per son and lltx-rty of conscience, speech and assembly. He not only converts the farcical Imperial douina, with only consultative power, Into an absolute legislative assembly without the asHint of which no measure shall become law and before which all gov ernmental authorities must answer, but promises eventually universal suffrage. The title. "Autocrat of all the Rusci.is," with which the manifesto begins, now takes its place with' the title of "King of Jeru salem," borne by the king of Spain and the emperor of Austria, and with other obsolete titles of European sovereigns. J. Plerpont Morgan, Jr.. and George W. Perkins were with Finance Minister Kokov soff when the hitter received the news. It was a drumatlc moment. The minister was called to the telephone and when ho re turned he was greatly agitated and said: "Gentlemen, ihe old order r-f things has changed. Russia has a constitution.
