Vice Admiral BlrllefT, who has been
named for the supreme naval com
mand In the Pacific, will leave SL
Petersburg for Vladivostok ou May
25th to assume charge there and
make preparations for repairing and
refitting the vessels of Vice Admiral
Rojestveusky's fleet when they ar
rive. Reports of Vlco Admiral Rojest
ven sky's breakdown and his surrendei
of his command continue lu circula
tion, one rumor saying that Vice Ad
miral Nebogntoff, though Rojestven
sky's Junior in rank, has been ordered
to assume the command,; but Admiral
Dlrllt'ff said ho had no information to
that effect.
Position of Russian Fleet.
The apparently complete disap
pearance of the Russian Far Eastern
fleet lends to the belief iu Paris
either that a buttle Is Imminent oi
that Admiral Rojestveusky has suc
ceeded In establishing a naval base.
On the other hand, it Is pointed out
that the position of the fleet May
IB in lut. 13.30 and long. 111.30 indi
cated thnt It might have been decided
to follow a course north of Luzon into
the Pnclfic Instead of going through
the straits of Formosa, where Ad
miral Toko is believed to be awaiting
Admiral Rojestvensky.
Some experts maintain that the fleet
has been divided for the purpose of
permitting one division to reach Vlad
ivostok while the other occuplea the
attention of Admiral Togo.
Japs Raise Sunken Warships.
Advices from Japan state that the
work on the cruiser Variag being
rnist-d at ChemtiiiK) is almost com
plete. It was expected she would be
floated at high tldo on May 28 and will
bo ready for Togo a short time there
after. A small warship sunk near the dock
nt Port Arthur will socn be raised and
pliieed In commission. The work of
refloat lug the war vessels at Port Ar
thur was begun on May 15. There
are good prospects of saving six. The
Bnynn Is only slightly damaged, no ma
terial injury having been done below
the water line.
Council of National Defense.
The first stop towards the institu
tion of the long contemplated council
of the national defense to co-ordinate
vcik of the military and naval ad
nitulKtratlouR, has been taken in an
Imperial manifesto creating a special
preliminary commission under the
presidency of Grand Duke Nicholas
NIeholaiev'.ich.
It is understood the formation of
the new council means the definite
abandonment of the plan of sending
Grand Duke Nicholas Nlcholaievitch
to the Far East to assume supreme
command on land aud sea. General
Lluevitch nnd Vice Admiral Birileff
will he left unhampered except as to

Lease Gas Works For 75 Years.
Amid scenes of disorder unprece
dented in annals of Philadelphia's leg
islative body, city councils voted to
lease the city's gas works to United
Gas Improvement Co. for a term of
75 years tor the total sum of $25,000,
000, the money to be paid in various
amounts before the end of 1907.
Councils' chambers and committee
rooms were crowded with excited citi
zens protesting against the lease from
1 p. m., when tho proceedings opened,
until after 8 p. m., when select coun
cil passed the bill and scut it to tho
mayor.
Mayor Weaver is expected to veto
the bill and In that event both cham
bers will probably pass it over his
veto.
A .letter from Mayor Weaver was
read asking tho committee to postpone
action for tho present. No action was
taken on the request.

LOCOMOTIVE EXPLODED
Tes'ing of Boiler Caused Dath
of Six Men.
Another Boiler Explosion at Staples,
Ont., Killed Two Men and Seriously
Injured Seven Twenty Persons In
jured In a Collision on Elevated
Road In New York.
Columbus, O., May 23. Six men
were killed by the explosion of the
boiler of an engine thai was standing
near the Hocking Valley railroad
roundhouse on West Mound street.
The six men who were killed were at
work nearby.
The building was damaged and quan
tities of the debris were scattered for
hundreds of feet in all directions. Sev
eral of the men killed were thrown
high Into the air.
Physicians and ambulances were
summoned and the police were noti
fied as soon as the first excitement
following the explosion had subsided.
The engine that exploded was being
tested for its first run after rebuilding.
Four other engines standing nearby
were wrecked.
The bodies of the six men were ter
ribly ma.igled, arms and legs being
scattered in all directions. One man Is
believed to liuve been blown into. the
river and is not accounted for.
The d-ad: Fred Shuttle, Amos

One other employe was Injured.
COLLISION ON ELEVATED.
Shattered Care Narrowly Escaped Pre-
cepltatlon to Ground Far Below.
.New York, May 23. Twenty per
sons were Injured, six of them so se
riously that they were sent to hos
pitals, an 1 more than 100 persons nar
rowly escaped death or serious injury,
when a swiftly moving train crashed
Into two others on the high elevated
structure on the Third avenue line at
133rd street and Alexander avenue.
Among the most seriously Injured
was Clara Jennings, 32 years old, of
Rochester, N. Y. She was taken to
Lincoln hospital suffering from shock
and cut by falling glass.
Only tho best of good fortune pre
vented a terrible tragedy. After the
crash the ends of the shatteied cars
hung far over the side of the elevated
structure at one of the highest polnt3
on tho line. Had they moved a few
inches more they would have pitched
to the ground fur below with awful
results.
Good fortune also kept the wrecked
cars free of the heavily charged third
rail. As they bounded from the track
they rolled away from the deadly rail
and settled down, safely but insecure
ly, at the most distant point possible
on the narrow trestle. ,
Two trains were standing on the
trestle waiting for the drawbridge
over the Harlem river to close, when
a third train ran around a curve and
crashed into them. The motorcar of
the third train and the rear car of the
second train were smashed and thrown
half around and the other cars were
tossed about and some of them over
turned. Passengers were thrown violently to
the floors of the cars and many of
them were severely cut by glass which
flew from the shattered windows.
The scene which followed was wild
beyond description. ' Men and women
fought to escape from the cars which
they feared might pitch to the street
below any minute. A fire alarm
brought several ladder companies to
the scene, but by the time they had
arrived nearly every man who had
been on tho train had reached the
ground by scrambling down, the iron
pillars which support tho elevated
structure. The firemen carried down
several women and a ffuniber of per
sons who had been injured too severe
ly to help themselves.
Among the passengers in one of the
wrecked trains was Miss Anna Wall,
a trained nurse of College Point. L. I.
Miss Wall dressed the wounds of sev
eral severely injured persons, tearing
to pieces her own whlto petticoats for
bandages.
"When the crash came the men In
the car acted like beasts. They made
a mad rush or the doors and paid no
attention to the women who had been
thrown to the floor by the shock. One
man climbed through a window and
anpther tcre a woman's frklrt off in his
desperate efforts to get out.
"I saw one woman 'irith a baby In
her arms pleading with a man to take
the child and save it, but he replied:
'Why, I've got all I can dp to take care
of myself.' "
The motormnn of the rear train has
teen arrested and will be held pend
ing an Investigation of the cause of
the disaster.

NO CHANGE OF VENUE.
Eugene A. Georger Must Stand Trial
In Erie County.
Buffalo, May 23. Justice Daniel J
Keneflck In special term of the su
preme court handed down a decision
denying the motion for a change ol
venue in behalf of Eugene A. Georger,
late president of the German bank.
In connection with the decision he
handed down a memorandum In which
he set forth that although there might
be some criticism among some of the
depositors, there Is a disposition
among even these to have the civil
and criminal responsibility of the de
fendant and his associates fairly and
judicially determined and that if there
be any prejudice it will readily show
Itself in securing a Jury, and the court
may then grant the relief which the
defendant seeks now. The memoran
dum follows:
The defendant asks that the place
of trial of the indictment against him
be changed to another county, on the
ground that he cannot obtain a fail
and Impartial trial here. I have ex
amined with some care the voluminous
papers presented on this application
It appears therefrom that the failure
of the German bank, and the causes
which led to such failure, have been a
constant subject of newspaper com
ment and of public discussion since
the bank closed Its doors.
Many of the articles in the local
columns of the press are somewhat
sensational In character, after the pre
vailing fashion of newspaper report
ing, but the editorial discussions are,
on the whole, conservative and tem
perate. It appears that the defendant's ad
ministration of the affairs of the Ger
man bank while he was its president,
and his action in selling his stock to
the persons who were In control ol
the bank at tho time of its failure,
have met with some public criticism,
and have engendered some prejudice
on the part of the depositors of the
bank.
I believe, however, that even among
the depositors there Is a disposition
to have both the civil and the criminal
responsibility of the defendant and
his associates fairly and Judicially de
termlned, nnd that the larger number
of the depositors do not approve ol
the grotesque antics Indulged In at a
recent meeting of the creditors' organ
ization. However that may be, I do not be
lieve that outside of the depositors
there Is tny such feeling of prejudice
permeating this great community as
will prevent the defendant obtaining
here an Impartial determination of the
charges made against him. If any
such prejudice exists it will readily
show Itself In securing a Jury, and the
court may grant the relief then which
the defendant seeks now.
The motion is denied.
Identification of Paul Jones' Body.
Paris, May 23 An elaborate de
tailed report giving the Identification

London, May 23. Ambassadoi
Choate unveiled a memorial window
to Jolui Harvard in St. Saviour's
church, Southwnrk, In the presence oi
a large gathering, including members
of the American embassy. The am
bassador in presenting this, his part
ing gift to Great Britain, said he de
sired to signalize his long residence
nnd work In Great Britain and though!
there was no more fitting manner than
as a loyal son of Harvard to dedicate
a window to John Harvard In a church
so closely identified with the foundei
of the great American university. The
archbishop of Canterbury accepted the
gift. This was Mr. Choate's last pub
lic function In England. The American
flag floated over the Southwark church
during the ceremony.
