LONDON, Dec. 6.~Ninety feet of the roof of the southernmost end of the Charing Cross railroad station collaps- od without warniag bere, carrying with It some forty workmen who were en- gaged iu repairs on that section of the roof. The casualty Met of this extraordina- ry scaldent includes two persons who are known to have Leen killed, two persons missing and probably burted beusath tons of debris, eight seriously injured and twenty slightly injured. The falling walls of the depot cruab- ed the roof of the Avenue theater, ad. Joining the station, lajuriog thereon several men who were at work on re pairs, < Four tralus stood in the statien ready to start, and hundreds of persons were gathered on the platforms awaiting the departure of suburban trains and the arrival of the Continental express, which was due jo a few minutes, when the walls supporting the great iron spans fell outward. With this support removed, the spans fell with a tremen- dous crash, crushing the foremost cars, which happlly were uot oceupied, but the falling roof carried with it the workmen who had been swarming smoug the girders. All the casnaltiés were confilued to the workmeu In the station and ou the roof of the theater and to a few station bands. Not a “single passenger was bart. For some time the scene of confusion was indescribable. Charing Cross Is the most centrol as well as ove of the busiest of London's railroad stations, and bad a larger portion of the roof given way the loss of life would have been great. As a result of the accident the station will be closed for some days. Senator Arrested In Murder Case, CHICAGO, Dec. 6. — State Seuator Frank C.

LONDON, 6.—8pecial dispatches from St. Peterfburg, via Eydtkubuen, Prussia, confirm the former repert that & guard for the Awerican ambassy con- sisting of marines under a petty sffioer from the United States erulser Minne apolis hus arrived at the Russian oapl- tal, that Premier Witte has presented to he csar a scheme for universal suf- frage ln opposition to the proposal for restricted suffrage which the committee of ministers had been considering and that Lieutenant General Rudiger, min- ister of war, has reversed. the judg- ment of the court martial at’ Samars sentencing to death au engineer named Sokoloff and other leaders of the rall- road strike. Thus a general railread strike is averted. The striking telegraph operators at- tempted to hold & meeting in the bullMd- Ing of the Imperial Economic society. The president of the soclsty was In- beld without the authority of the pre- feet of police und he drove to the pre- fecture to obtain ibe desired permls- sion, Meanwhile Cossacks entered and demanded . that the meeting disperse. The strikers refused to obey the de- mand, whereupon a commissary of po- lios “ordered the Cossacks and the po- lice to disperse the meeting, which they did, beating all who remalued with the flats of thelr swords and with thelr whips. : This affair apparently bas strength- ened the determination of the strikers to stand firm until their demands are granted. The s @ of the Moscow telephone operators, who cut the wires and tore up the poles, has severed the last weans of cowmuuication with the ancient cap- tal. Present conditions are unbearable, und sympathy with the poorly pald post and telegraph employees ls now turn- lag ioto indiguation against the strik. ers, and the public Is supporting a formidable movement which hay Leen started Ly all classes 10 throw off the yoke of the revolutioudiies, The government undoubtedly is en- courngiug the organization of these forces. The Law aud Ovder party took the lead, which is now being followed by the Society of Strike Breakers, but the most Lnportant movement has been started under the leadership of Father Gapon, the former idol of the work: men, who since bis residence abroad bas become couviuced that Russia is uot prepared for a republic and Is up pealing to his comrades to cul loose from the revolutionary agitators. A Bt. Petersburg dispatch via Edy- tkubnen, Prussia, says that @e em- peror is now entirely supporting Pre wisr Witte both la his policy of rigor ous suppression of strikes of govern- ment employees and of early convoca- ton of the douma. Witte and his stall are working uight and day iu the elab- oration of a vole registet which they say, will be the nearest practicable ap- proximation to universal suffrage. It 1s promised that the douma will meet in St. Petersburg not later than Jan. 28 There ls 8 strong conviction everywhere outside of Witte's entour- age that this doums will never meet. One hears saoch remarks as, “Witte shows about the same knowledge of the fighting efficiency of workmen's unions as Alexelelf showed with regard to the Japanese.” M. Witte was promptly defeated in an attempt to restore the international postal service ArTaRugements were made by which the leading vipress de. livery compeny was to pul its mea on the mail trains to do the sorting and stapling. The Postal Employees’ union immedi. ately communicated with the Railway Men's unlon, who replied that they would strike If such a scheme were attempted, Thereupon the government dropped the attempt. A great estate in the province of Menja belonging to Count Witte's son- in-law, Cyril Naryschkin, has been plundered, The mansion and farm bulldings were destroyed, Over 15,000 Cossacks and {ofantry, with machine guns, occupy the capital, Warships For St. Petersburg.

Twelve Teams Now Ia Six Day Race at New York, NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—The most ex- =iiing sprint at the six day bicycle race in Madison Square Garden occurred when. Tommy Hall took the planked track to relieve Matt Dewnmey. Hall injected real inte the race and after getting half = lap ahead laid low dience, which had gvewn somnambu- lent, suddenly swoli¢ and nearly raised the roef with its cheer. Try as he would, however, Hall sould uot main tain his lead. The crowd urged him ou, but the other riders were now theroughly awake, and they began to bunch vp again. MeDosald, the foungster, made him- self a favorite by pluckily keeplug the track for over six bours. His partner, Galvin, who was shaken up in a éplll early In the day, was net able to re enter until 1 o'clock. McDonald had been keeping the pace for him since Dussot, who collapsed, pulled himself together and jeined the procession at 2 o'clock. The first aceddent occurred when An- tonine Dusset of the Swigs-French teamn suddenly collapsed while being relieved by Derflinger. Dussot was at the top of the track on the northwest corner when the aceldent oceurred. His wheel slipped down the smooth In- cline, but did uot Interfere with the other riders. He was helipad to his feet, and Dr. Cramer examined him, but found that be was uninjured. The wheel was wrocked. Opinion as to which will be the next team to drop out seems to be centered on the French one. Louis Troussklier complained of a weak back, and his ef- forts to keep up with the others are painfully apparent, especially at the lutermittent bursts of speed. Some seemed to think that be will not last the rest of the day. His team mate, Docoup, also look tired and does uol respond with very much alacrity when his time for relieving comes. The twelve teams are still running very evenly, with about S87 miles each to their credit. Gotowin Was the Only One.
