“Your president secured frem me a

STATION ROOF FELL IN.
Aveldent at Charing Cress—~Tweo Dead
and Many Injured.
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.

sentencing to death au engineer named
Sokoloff and other leaders of the rall-

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 government undoubtedly is en-

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

bas become couviuced that Russia is

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

M. Witte was promptly defeated in

* THE CYCLE GRIND.
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.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 6.—Favorites

outrun all the way. St. Valentine wus
not fit, and The Regent, favorite in the
last race, was Leaten handily by the
long shot, Edward Hale

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 6G—At the
