Russia's New Army Wreck on the New York Central 58 Deaths From Collision on the Southern Railway. Judge Parker's Letter Democratic State Nominees. At Pleasant Ridge, seven miles north of Cincinnati, nine, possibly 10, school girls were suffocated In n vault during the forenoon recess Friday, and a score of others narrowly escaped the same- horrible death. All of the victims woro from prim nry grades. On opposite sides of the spacious grounds In the rear of the fichool building are two outhouses When the recess was given about 3C of tho smaller girls were in the out house assigned to them, when sudden ly tho floor gave way, precipitating them Into the vault below. This vault Is 12 feot deep and walled up with stone like a well. There was In It four feet of water that would have been over the beads of the chil dren falling Into It singly, but those falling foremost filled up the vault par tially, so that others were not entire ly submerged. The girls fell eight feet from the flooring, and the strug gles of those who were on top kept at leant nine underneath until the wore dead. Tho screams of the girls were dimly heard within the vault and they were most of them unable to speak when rescued. The teachers were soon rein forced by the entire population of the town, the police and fire departments tendering most effective service. The firemen drained tho vault, so as to be sure that the rescue wan complete. I'p the ladder climbed the little ones, drenched, gasping for breath and fntntlng as soon as taken Into the fresh air. As fast as they came within reach of the door those standing there reached down and lifted them from tho ladder, and passed them out to waiting friends. It was not possible to go down into the vault at first for the reason that one would Impedo the little ones who were climbing out. Finally the last girl that could get to the ladder got out and then the men went' In and brought up those that re lnalned. Russia Organizes a New Army. The division and reorganization of the Russian Manchurian army, regard lng which there have been rumors ever since the battle of Liao Yang was officially announced Sunday. Tho reorganization amounts to for mal notice to the world, as the emperor frankly explains In his rescript, that he intends to vastly Increase tho num ber of troops ut tho theater of war in order to force tho struggle to a sue cessful Issue In tho shortest possible time. Probably 'JOO.OOO additional men will be placed in the field. Five corps the third, fourth, fifth, eighth and six teonth are already destined for the front, and tnlk is that five more corps will bo sent forward. Eventually the creation of this second army Involves the selection of a commanded-ln-chle Not only is there no Intimation In the rescript that General Kuropntkin will have command of both armies, but he Is distinctly plnced upon the same footing as General Grinpenberg. Japs Control Water Supply. As a result of the battle before Port Arthur on Sept. 19, the Japanese suc ceeded In capturing several important positions, and the Russians ten ure of the big forts guarding the north northeast and northwest, sides of the town Is seriously threatened. Chinese Information places the Jap anese losses under 3,000 for tho three days fighting, and this comparatively small casualty list is due to the ex cessive care used by the Japanese In making their preparations for the ad vance. Possibly the most Important capture during the three days fighting was that of Fort Kuropatkln, which, while of minor value with regard to prevent lng the entrance Into the town of the Japanese, has been constructed foi the purpose of protecting tho source of the garrison's water supply. The control of this water supply Is now In the hands of the Japanese. Wreck on New York Central.

The name of the Democratic candl date for governor of New York state will appear on the ballots as "D Cady Herrlck," with a hyphen joinlni tho "D" and the "Cady." Tho genera lmprn-ston has been that the D li Judge Herrick's name was the inltia' letter of Daniel, but this is not thi case D-CADY HERRICK. In conversation the Judge explalne that he was not named after Danle Cady. the late wellknown merchant o' Amsterdam, as has been supposed His given name Is taken from that o: David Cady. a close friend of his fa ther. The senior Mr. Herrlck. I seems, had an aversion to donhh given names, and still wishing t( name his son after his old friend called him "I) Cady " This Is th way that Judge Herrlck always signi legal papers and the form in whicr his name appeared on the official hal lot when ho ran for district attorney In 1880.

Werner of Monroi (Republican), now of that bench h) designation by Governor Odell, and thi Republican nominee. Judge Parker's Letter. Alton B. Parker, In his letter ac cepting the Democratic nomination foi the presidency, criticises the Repub lican party on its stand in connectlor with tho tariff, tho acquisition of tlu Panama strip, government expendit ures, the postal frauds and reciprocity To sustain his former declaration thai tho common law could be applied tc the restraint of trusts, he quotes fron a decision of the United States su preme court. He accepts President Roosevelt's challenge In regard to tlu latter's executive order about pen sions, and says that. If elected h( would revoke the order, and woulc tiso his influence to have an ago in distinguished from a disability pen slon law properly adopted.

INTERNATIONAL MATTER. State Department Takes Notice ot Fining of a Legation Secretary. Washington, Sept. 27. Notico o) the action of a special Justice at Lee, Mass., In fining Hugh Gurney, third secretary of tho British embassy, fot speeding and contempt of court, was received at the state department In 8 telegram from Mr. Raikes, first secre tary of the embassy, who is at Len ox. The department Immediately trans mitted this telegram In substance to the governor of Massachusetts with tho suggestion that he do whatevei might be necessary to secure) the dip lomatlc immunity of Mr. Gurney. It Is believed at the department thai the matter may be far more serious than the local officials at Lee seem tc regard it. In the first place by constl tutional and statutory law the per sons attached to an embassy are ex pressly relieved from any legal re eponsibility, and the exemption ever extends to domestic servants. Section 4.0C3, revised statutes, de dares that any writ prosecuted In any court of the United States or of a state or by any Judge or Justice, In tended to cause the arrest and lm prisonment of any public minister oi his servant shall be void. The succeeding section provide! that every person by whom any sucr protest Is obtained or prosecutec whether as party or attorney am! every officer concerned In Its exeeu tlon "shall be deemed a violator ol the law of nations and a disturber ol the public repose, and Bhall be lm prisoned for not more than three yean and fined at the discretion of court.' It will remain for the governor ol Massachusetts to take Initial action lr this case, which will require promol redress. The last Important prece dent occurred In 1892 at the picnic re sort of Bav Ridge, near Baltimore when Dr. George, an attache of the Swiss legation In Washington, was ar tested by a deputy sheriff on the charge of being a pickpocket and was searched and otherwise treated in o humiliating manner by the local au thorltlea. The state department secured hit release at an early moment throng!; the governor of Maryland, who alsc caused the dismissal of the offendinf deputy and extended an apology foi tho Incident. Though the Swiss minister mlghl have pressed further punishment, he accepted what had been done as suffl clent, but the matter was deemed ol such Importance that ho could not give this notice to other governments until the Swiss federal council haf formally considered the case and ex pressed Itself satisfied. M. PLEHVE'S MURDER. Russian Police Claim It Was Work ol a Band of Conspirators In Geneva. St. Petersburg, Sept. 27. While some of the features of the plot whlc! culminated In the assassination of M I'lehve, the minister of tho Interior still baffle the police, the authorities profess to be now perfectly certair that the conspiracy was hatched lr Geneva by half a dozen Russians mostly Jews. The authorities know the names anr addresses of tho conspirators, but ar unable to take legal action agalnsi them owing to the failure of tho lawf of Switzerland to Interfere with po litical refugees, and therefore Rus slan terrorists are at liberty, fron their haven in the Alps, to conMnuf the work of assassination of Russian ministers so long as they are able tc find emissaries willing to risk theli lives, the organizers never venturing to carry out their own designs. Six men who engineered the Plehve plot, according to the result of the Russian police Investigation, are de clnred bpyond shadow of doubt to have organized the series of politics crimes, with the exception of tho mur der of M. Bohrlkoff, the governor gen eral of Finland, began wllh the nasaa slnatlon of tho governor of Ufa, or May 19, 1903, and ended with tbo blow lng up of Minister Plehve on July 2i ot this year. Gerehunln, whose plot resulted lr the assassination of Minister of thf Interior Siplagulno April 15, 1902, now turns out to have been only an em Issary of these Geneva terrorists For the first time the fact Is now rc vealed that M. Plehve's murder hac been preceded by four abortive nt tempts to encompass his death, whler the department of political police frustrated In the nick of time by the arrest of the would-be assassins, whe were quietly lmpr'soned. Only one of these attempts has hitherto becomo public and that was revenled by the accidental exploslor of a bomb In the Hotel Dii Nord, lr St. Petersburg. SasonofT and two ol Ids accomplices continue to malutair obstinate silence rcgarling the nssai sinntlon of Minister Plehve, nllhougl rne of the ficpimpHces has confessor that he threw a bomb Into the cana the morniii'iol' th assassination Her sleln. the oil. ir accomplice, ulioylnt the InJ'inelion of the terrorists, re Jnses to make any statement.
