Driving at a mad paca over tba London South weatarn railway, tba Amarican Lina Ki press, carrying 43 of tba steamer Naw York'a passengers from Plymouth to London, plunged from tha track joat a(tr passing tba itation bero at 1 .57 o'clock thia morning and mangiad to death in Ha wreckage 23 passengers, and four of tba trainmen. Betide tboaa to whom death came apeedily, a doien peraona were injured, aome of them aeriouily. The late hour of the New York'a ar rival at Plymouth saved many Uvea. he carried mora than 60 travelera for London, but many of tbem elected to travel on comfortably to Southampton in preference to the late landing at Ply mouth and the long night ride acroee the country. If the New York had made a tauter passage the somber roeter of the dead and injured would have been larger. The aurviving paaaengera and train men describe tha aound of the wreck as like the discharge of a eeriea of heavy guna of varied caliber, and when the crashing of tha wreck waa past there came calls of the Injured, soma shriek ing with pain and fear and others- moaning as if bewildered by the shock Relief came quickly, although it waa an hour before tha last body was dragged from the wreck. The police, attracted by the noise, called ambu lances and surgeons and ' warned the hospitals to prepare to receive the in jured. The railway yard quickly filled with police, doctors, nurses, trainmen and volunteers. The darkness and incredible destruc tion made the work of rescue exceed ingly difficult. Lamps and torches were brought to light the desolate scene. The station was converted into a surgery and the platform was made a mortuary. - LOOKING FOR GOOD MAN. TOO BUSY FOR REVISION Senator Warren Says Country la Too Prosperout.to Think of Tariff, Washington, June 29. Senator War ren made a speech in the senate today on bis resolution calling on tha director of tha census for a statement covering tha extent of tha livestock industry of tba United States and of tha foreign business in tbia country in leather and raw material. Ha cited tba recent agitation concerning thia industry as bia reason for seeking this Information. 11a confidently asserted that tha state ment wonld show an aatonishing in crease and that tba product of not leaa than 12,000,000,0X0 annually, mora than tba value of all tha gold produced by tha United fits tea in tha entiia bia- tory of tha country. Warren pronounced as unjust and selfish tba demand made by tba manu facturers lor free hides. Ha aaid that wnila tha livestock men do not envy Massachusetts its prosperity they do not deaira to add to it by taking off tha duty of hides and wool, and cloaed an appeal for tha continuance of tha tariff. "We are," ha aaid, busy, too well employed, too well paid far our labor, too prosperous to think seriously of tariff revision in tha year of oar Lord, 1908." FAITH IN THE BAY CITY. Claua Sprecklea Says It Will Ba tha Greateat Port on Hemisphere. Chicago, June 29. "San Francisco will soon ba Greater San Francisco in deed aa we are in name. Things have settled themselves since our terrible dis aster, capitaisis are putting their mon ey into rebuilding and enlarging and in beautifying, and tha people general ly are exercising a great degree of con fidence in tba city's future prosperity." Clans Spreckles, of S in Francisco, who with his wife waa in Sin Francisco yesterday, thus expressed himself in discussing the future of hia home city. All financial interests, ha said, al though he spoke es.ciaiiy for the sugar interests were firm in the belief that San Francisco would become the largest and most important port of en try in the western hemisphere. "When our Oriental trade, already large, has become still larger, and when new modem buildings have sprung np out of tba ruins, as they surely will, San Francisco will be a greater city in all ways." he said. ATTORNEYS ARE CALLED. Czar Finds Difficulty In Selecting New Prime Minister. Rt. Peteabua. Julv 3. No deunit statement with reference to the retire' ment of the Oortmykin cabinet was forthcoming today. Emperor Nicholas is apparently encountering trouble in findina a man to whom to intrust the reins of power and effacting an under standing with the Liberal groups of parliament. The Constitutional Pemocralic par liament committee met this afternoon behind closed doors to discuss tactics under the situation. The Associated Press waa informed after the meeting that tha committee adhered to its fir mer decision that nothing less than a fully responsible cabinet will be accept able, and that Constitutional Demo crats will refuse to take portfolios in anv mixed cabinet. The leaders scarcely expect that these terms will be accepted at present. In deed they have slight desire to shoulder the responsibility of government, when the country apparently is on the verge of a series of outbreaks and disorders. "Their present plan is to adopt toward any new ministry the same tactics they have followed in the past, the accept ance of what is good in the policy o' the government and unsparing ciiti clam where that policy does not square with their ideas. The immediate pass aite ot a vote of lack of confidence is probable. It is stated that Minister of Interior fitolvpin and Minister ot Finance Ko- kovsoff will submit to the lower house f narliament. probably tomorrow, a request for an appropriation of ISO, 000,000 for famine relief. Intended to Surrender. St. Petersburg, July 3. The depoei tions of various officers and sailors of the torpedo boat destroyer Bedovy, forming the documents in the court martial of Admiral Rojestveneky and other naval ollicials, who surrender to the Japanese in the battle of the sea of Japan, in May of last year, are pub lished today. The sailors' testimony indicates that the admiral's party hnarded the Dedovy with the full in .ntlon of surrendering to the first Jap. anese ship encountered. Their initial act was to order a white flag prepared. Sedition Spread Among Mexicina. Mexico City. July 3.

Attorney General Moody bad conferences today with Frank B. Kellogg and Charles B. Morrison, who have been engaged as special connrei in the investigation which is being mad into the affairs of th Standard Oil company, with a view to ascertaining whether there have been any violations of the anti-trust law. With reference to this it was stated today that further investigation is to be made. Tha attorney general also held con ferences with some of the district at torneys he had summoned to Washing ton, and it was stated that they weie being instructed as to bow they should proceed against the Standard Oil com pany. It was also said to oe most likely that special grand juries will he called to determine whether the Standard Oil company has been granted rebates or concessions. FORM NEW MINISTRY Spread of Revolt Among Troops Alarms Czar and Court. GOVERNMENT IN FEAR OF ARMY News From Provinces Shows Gene ral Anarchy To Ba Growing Procurator Gives In. St. Petersburg, June 30. The cam paign which tba opposition elements in parliaments are waging to compel Emperor Nicholas to dismiss the Go remykln ministry and accept tba prin ciple of responsible ministry prom ises to be successful soon. Both the emperor and the conrt are frightened into surrender by the alarming spread of revolutionary ideas among tba troops. When the Preobrejensky regiment, "His Majesty's Own," pronounced its solidarity with parliament at Krasno Selo, lesa than a dosen miles from the Peterhof palace, tha emperor's eyes opened and tba court began to realise that there was only a step from that to declaring allegiance to parliament aa against tha government. Even tha procurator general of the holy synod, M. Pobedonostseff, who to day celebrated his sixtieth jubilee of bis entrance into tba service of the state, and who baa been much at Peter hof recently, is said to have reversed tha position of a life time and to have advised the emperor to yield to th de mand for a responsible ministry as the only means of preserving the throne. Tba government's sudden fear of affronting public opinion, after finding the army affected with the revolution ary propaganda, is shown in the hur ried grant of a new trial to seven men condemned to death at Riga, the ac quittal of six others and the commuta tion of death sentences imposed on the three murders of the foreman of the Putiloff Iron works. The news from the provinces shows that general anarchy is growing. In Altara and Tauride provinces the peas art i are abandoning the fields, and in Tula province roving bands are march ing through the country, dragging in their wake not only the workers from tba fields, but the domestic servants of the gentry.
