Nearly All Were Americans Who Had
Just Arrived on Steamer
From New York.
Salisbury. Knuland, July 3. Driving
at a mad pace over the London South
western railway, the American Line
Kxpress, carrying 43 of thn steamer
New York's passengers from Plymouth
to London, plunged from tho track Just
after passing tho station hero at 1 :57
o'clock this morning and mangled to
death In Ms wrecksgn 23 passengers,
and four of tho trainmen.
Hcald those to whom death came
speedily, a dozen persons were injured,
some of them seriously.
The !te hour of tho New York's ar
rival at Plymouth saved many lives.
She carried moro than 00 travelers for
London, hut many of them elected to
travel on comfortably to Southampton
In preference to tho late landing at Ply
mouth anJ tho long night ride across
thn country. If the New York had
made a faster passage thn somber roster
of tho dead and Injured would have
Iwn larger.
Thn surviving passengers and train
men describe the sound of the wreck as
like the discharge of a series of heavy
guns of varied caliber, and when the
crashing of the wreck was past there
came calls of the injured, some shriek
ing wit1' pain and fear and others
moaning as if bewildered by the shock.
Itellef came quickly, although It was
an hour Leforn the last body was
dragged from the wreck. Thn police,
attractid by tho noise, called ambu
lances and surgeons and warned the
hospitals to prepare to receive tho in
jured. Tho railway yard quickly tilled
with police, doctors, nurses, trainmen
and volunteer.
Thn darkness and Incredible destruc
tion mado tho work of reecua exceed
ingly dllllcult. Lamps and torches
wero brought to light the desolate
scene. Tho station was converted into
a surgery and the platform was made a

LOOKING FOR GOOD MAN.
Czar Finds Difficulty In Selecting New
Prime Minister.
St. Petoabug, July 3. No definite
statement with reference to the retire
ment of tho Gortmykln cahlnot was
forthcoming today. Emperor Nicholas
Is apparently encountering trouble In
finding a man to whom to intrust the
reins of power and effecting an under
standing with the Liberal groups of
parliament.
Tho Constitutional Democratic par
liament commltteo met this afternoon
behind closed doors to discuss tactics
under the situation. The Associated
Press was informed after tho meeting
that tho committee adhered to Us for'
mer decision that nothing less than a
fully responsible cabinet will be accept
able, and that Constitutional Demo
crats will refnso to take portfolios in
anv mixed cabinet.
Tho leaders scarcely expect that these
tonus will bn accepted at present. In
deed they have slight desire to shoulder
tho responsibility of government, when
tho country apparently Is on tho verge
of n series of outbreak and disorders.
Tlolr present plan Is to adopt toward
any now ministry the same tactics thoy
havo followed in tho past, the accept
ance of what Is good in the policy o'
tho government and unsparing criti
cism whero that policy does not square
with their ideas. The immediate pass
age of a voto of lack of conQdonco Is
probable.
It is etatod that Minister of Interior
Stolypin and Mlnlstor ot Finance Ko
kovsoft will submit to the lower house
of prrllament, probably tomorrow, a
request for an appropriation ot 50,
000,000 for famine rollof.

Conlrnillrlorr Vftrsloim of I tin I'nnn

I know, aa every schoolboy know,
Urn legend thnt a certain count' of
Salisbury dropped her gnrter nt n bull,
rind that tho king, picking It up nmld
tho smile of courtier, linnded It to
her with tho hnppy and now Immortal
phrase, "Hon! aolt qui mal y peniw."
Hut thl legend, I recallf-d, hod
to go tho way of tho story of King
Alfred and tho cnkcn, tho story of Will
iam Tell and tho apple, and many an
other pretty fairy tale of history, soya
a writer In tlw Sphere. At last I went
to Sir Nicholas Harris Nicholas "His
tory of tho Order of Knighthood,"
where I found a delightful mass of
contradictory authority produced.
Tho tale of the ensign and namo of
tho order wero first told by Polydoru
Vergil (1470-1M5), who wrote In tho
tlmo of Henry VII. and Henry VIIL.
mid who sold that tho lady wan "tho
queen or tho kins' mistress." Segor.
whoso work, "Honor, Military and
Civil," opiteared In IMS, 2.T0 year af
ter tho order wo founded, was tho
flrat to aoy that It wa tho Countess of
Salisbury. Other writers say that It
wo tho Countess of Kent. John Anstl
(HVKM744), garter king of arms, who
published several heraldic works, ridi
cule tho whole story. He confess
that an author of Henry VI.'s time,
who wrote In Lntln and whoso work hi
now entirely lot, upheld It.
Knplmel Hollnshcd, n chronicler who
died In 1."S0, tells the atory In detail
and say tho lady wn tho queen, which
surely rather spolli tho significance of
tho legend. Sir Harris Nicholas him
self thinks tho story I not Improbable,
although bo urge tho fact that Jean
Frolwurt, who I tho hest contemporary
authority on the reign of Kdward ML.
whllo ho haa much to say about the
order In hi hundredth chapter, iIom
not refer to It, nnil Nicholas admit
that this tell very much against the
uppoed origin of tho story ; but Frols-
sart muy have thought tlio matter too
trivial to relate.
It Is not, I may add, claimed that
the Incident cnusetl tho foundation of
tho Order of tho Garter, but only that
