that was backing Into the city from
New Britain at the Slgourney Street
crossing. Of the Injured two proba
bly will die.
Somo of the victims within easy
reach were dead, but were loft while
tlio rescuers tried to extricate the
UTlng. In one Instance It took an
Sour and a halt to rescue one work
tan who was pinned between the
truck. His head was hanging down
backwards and he suffered severely;
but the rescuers encouraged him,
Willie doctors reached between the
frame work which held him a pris
oner and treated the wounds on the
face and head.
There are throe unofficial versions
of the cause of the wreck. One is
that the passenger train for New Bri
tain went out on a wrong track.

bad the righi of way until 7 o'clock,
'and should have had a clear track;
that tho passenger train was ahead
of time at that point. The third is
that the work train opened a switch
ad failed to close it.

claims that he had the right of way.
aad his statements are borne out by
others on this train. Engineer WU
son, of the passenger train. Jumped
la time to escape injury. The pas
sengers, however, were badly shaken
up and some were cut by flying glass.
An express train passed on nn ad
Joining track soon after the accident
and sideswlped the wreckage. There
was much danger because the wreck
ed cars had to be maintained in nn
"upright position by stays while the
rescuers were underneath battling to
aave the lives of those caught In the
wreckage.
i During the excitement flre broke
out. After quenching the flames,

HE ORDERS UNCLE SAM TO JUMP.
ON BEST TERMS WITH THE JAPS
Viscount Aoki Says There Is No
"Situation" Takes a Broad View.
Washington (Special). Japanese Ambassador Ankl In an Interview,
talked freely regarding the relations between the United States and Japan,
incidentally expressing disbelief in the rumors that he is to bo recalled.
"There Is no 'situation,' " he said, "between Japan and the United
States. The best of relations exist, and there is nothing of a diplomatic
character under consideration. It is very distressing that there should
be agitation over trifles, which are purely of local import, if inrport
at all."
"Is the Progressive party strong enough to secure your recall?"
he was asked.
"I do not credit the story of my recaJl," he replied. "The Pro
gressives do not have a majority in the national legislature. I do not
know what their strength really is, but I think not very great. It is
bad that a few excitable ersons should cause the Impression to go
out that Japan Is aflame with Indignation over alleged, perhaps imagi
nary. Insults. Of course, the government could stop such talk, but
to do so might seem to give more Importance to it than would be
Justified. Some of our people are very sensitive, and also impulsive.
J? 18 a m,stakc however, to Imagine that Japan is anxious for trou
ble. Wo want no trouble. We have a population of about 50,000.000, and
your country has, perhaps, more than S0.000.000, with much more
wealth than Japnn. Tho conquests we seek are those of peace. Wo
have entered on a constructive era. As far as the status of my country
men in the United States is concerned, it Is possible that they are not
well understood, but I see no reason why, when they become used
to the ways of the country, they could not assimilate with the people
here.
"Would you advocate their intermarriage and naturalization?"
"Yes." replied Viscount Aoki. "I think it proper, If they Individually
see fit, to marry here. I would leave It to them. As for naturalization.
Japanese become subjects of other countries, and Europeans In many
cases have become suhjects of Japan. I have seen it stated In tho
press that they would not be likely to renounce their allegiance to their
own country, hut that idea Is exaggerated. The Japanese are not so
patriotic. If they go to another country, invest there, become interested
in the administration of governmental affairs there they are Japanese
no longer. Their Interests are all with the community where they have
their homes."
The Ambassador declared that It was a fallacy to suppose that any
country could ever dominate the Pacific. "It is too big," he declared
"and there are too many countries bordering on It. The Interests of
all must be conserved. And it Is idle to suppose that Japan can ever
hope to control such a vast commerce as even the Asiatic countries will
furnish."

the shipbuilders were receivea spec
ial bids from the naval constructors

tion of the department as a check on

UNITED STATES MS LEAD
Reserves Right To Present Armament
Question.
The Hague (By Cable). The sur
prise of the second session of the
Peace Conference was the formal
reservation by Gen. Horace Porter,
on behalf of the United States, of
the right to present the question of
limitation of armaments. Together
with this, he also reserved the right
to introduce the subject of the col
lection of contractual debts by force.
While this reservation was made
quite natually. In accordance with
a notice served on RusbIb during the
preliminary negotiations last spring,
and In order that silence now might
not be construed as acquiescence in
the restriction of -the work of the
conference to the limits of the 'Rus
sian program, it Is believed to Indi
cate a firm resolve on the part of
the Washington government, after
seeing the trend of the situation
here, to raise the question later If
it becomes apparent that the subject
is going by default.
It can be stated positively, how
ever, that no proKsltlon lias yet
been formulated by the American
delegates, but this action has re
newed the hope that the United
States would bring up the question
of limitation, and huB given great
satisfaction to the pacificists.
British Reservation.
Sir Edward Fry also served notice
that Great Britain reserved the right
to introduce subjects outside the
program, but less significance is at
tached to his action.
Another Interesting feature of the
session was Ilaron Von Bleberstein's
notification that Germany Intended
to offer the proposition of an Inter
national prize court to which appeals
could be made at the time of a mar
itime war, and the decision of which
should he final. General Porter sec
onded this proposition on behalf of
the United Stales, and Sir Edward
Fry declared that Great Britain pro
posed to advance a project on simi
lar lines.
Thn fact that the first definite pro
position submitted to the conference
should emanate from Germany and
receive the prompt and cordial sup
port Of the United States and Great
Britain, created an especially good
Imiiresslon.
Beyond these two matters, the ses
sion was prefunctory in character.
Four committees were created ns
prearranged, and the rules formulat
ed, except on permitting countries
to vote by proxy, ndopted. The
United States was honored by two
honorary presidencies, and Mexico,
Argentine and Brazil each obtained
recognition.
Watch for Anarchists.
Elaborate precautions still are be
ing taken to insure the safety of the
delegates from anarchistic attempts,
as well as to prevent eavesdropping.
Before the sitting the old castle
was thoroughly searched and all the
doors leading to the Hall of Knights
were sealed. A force of 20 police
occupied the cellar undernenth,
ready to respond to an electrical call
placed on President Nelidoff's table.
Shortly before the conference as
sembled the Russian minister of jus
tice telegraphed the Dutch minister
of justice that he had grave appre
hensions for the safety of the Rus
sian delegates. He begged the Dutch
authorities to take every precaution.
Accordingly, In addition to the pres
ence of Russian and Dutch detectives,
every time the conference meets, the
whole building, which is a perfect
rabbit warren, with winding stair
cases and small half-hidden doors
will be searched from top to bottom,
both at the opening nnd closing of
the session.
After each sitting all the exits will
le sealed up and the seals will be
broken only in the presence of rep
resentatives of the secretariat gen
eral on their arrival for the oiiening
of tho sitting.

Ambassador Lelshman visited thf
Porte after two months' abstention
and ho attended the selftmilk, aftet
which he be received in audi
ence s-j the Sultan.
Washington (Special). Gratifies
was expressed at the State Depart
ment at the report from Constantino
ple to the effect that Ambassador
Lelshman had at lnt succeeded in
settling the one question between
the Embassy .and the Porte which
remained of six open issues. This
has been a work of years, and. al
though negotiations were initiated
for the settlement of those questions
many years ago, not one of them was
finally settled until Ambassador
Leishmnn undertook their adjust
ment. As an incident it became nec
essary for CongreRE to raise the
American legation at Constantinople
to the rank of embassy, for other
wise it would have been Impossible
for Mr. Leishmar. to break through
the meshes of red tape In the Sub
lime Porte and renrh the person ot
the Sultan. When this was finally
accomplished the rest of the work
was easy, and It may be pointed out
that the settlement of all of the six
questions above referred to has been
affected since the American minis
ter became an ambassador.
First of these questions was one
rc-lating to change In tenure of title
deeds to Anierlcnn Institutions. This
was of great Importance to the Amer
ican colleges in Turkey, which other
wise must have suffered the loss of
most of their real estate and build
ings.
Second was permission to erect
buildings at Caesarae. This was also
in incident of Importance to Amerl-
enn . educatlonnl institutions with
Turkish offshoots.
Third was the grant of customs
Immunity at Beirut. All of the Amer
ican Presbyterian missions in Syrl;
were deeply interested In the settle
ment of this question, for they were
laboring under great dlscrimlnatlor
in favor of foreign religious denom
inational institutions.

Weekly Review of Trade and Latest
Market Reports.
R. O. Dun A Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Less activity Is reported In the
primary market for cotton goods,
but there is no evidence of weak
ness. On the contrary, several quo
tations are higher, print cloths rul
ing close to 5 cents. After the re
cent unprecedented activity some
diminution In demand is natural and
wholesome. It ig no less difficult
to secure early deliveries, and most
manufacturers have as much for
ward business as they are witling to
accept. There Is constantly less dis
position to undertake contracts for1
next year's shipment, conservative
mill owners striving to eliminate the
speculative feature because of the
uncertainty regarding deliveries of
new crop raw material and the possi
bility ef cancellation. Export trade
Is light. Many lines of fancy wool
ens have been opened, nlthoqgh buy
ers are not prepnred to operate free
ly aa yet. Offering of samples has
not weakened the tone, however,
prices ruling about the same as last
year and a few varieties are held
trlflo higher.
Some Eastern wholesalers have
placed large contracts with New Eng
land shoo manufacturers, but as
nil trade Is still light, buyers oper
ating cautiously. Returning sales
men report that Jobbers throughout
tho country carry small stocks and a
good autumn trade ig expected, al
though orders thus far this season
fall behind last year's to date.
