Quits Office as Viceroy of India on Account of Dispute. EARL OF MINTO HIS SUCCESSOR Refusal of British Cabinet to Appoint Mayor Barrow Brought Matter to Crisis. The resignation of Lord Curzon of Kedleston, as viceroy of India, and the appointment of‘the Earl of Minto as his successor, was announced at the India office in London. According to the correspondence which is issued in the form of a white book, it appears that Lord Curzon’s resignation was cabled to that office on August 12. The cor- respondence shows a decidely bitter feeling between Lord Curzon, the In- dia office and Lord Kitchener, com- mander-in-chief of the forces in In- dia, over the new plan of army ad- ministration in India. Lord Curzon's dissatisfaction came to head with the refusal of the cabinet to appoint Major General Sir on Lord Curzon’s recommendation, military supply member of the coun- cil. Replying on August 2 to the refusal of Mr. Broderick, secretary of for India, to make his appointment, Lord Curzon requests that the govern- ment reconsider its . decision, ‘in order to enable me to accept the re- sponsibility which 1 infer jesty’s government still desires me to assume.” a3 Lord Curzon’s Mary Leiter, of Chicago 12t she was unable to endurzs the climate in India and this may Lord Curzon to resign.

CURZON RESIGNED | coe core asseve | TRuN DASHES INTO DRAW | { | | Many Negro Excursionlsts Meet Death Near Norfolk, Va. AIR BRAKES DID NOT WORK Train Could not Be Stopped at Bridge According to General Orders. Owing to the inability of Engineer D. L. Reig to control his air brakes an excursion train from Kinston, N. C., bound to Norfolk, Va., plunged through an open draw over the west- ern branch of the Elizabeth river, eight miles from Norfolk, and half a hundred persons, mostly negroes, were drowned. The list of injured, so far as can | be ascertained, numbers nearly 100, though most of these are slightly hurt. Among the victims the only white | ones were Edward J.

The specific or- ders of the road to stop all trains at the bridge whether the draw is open or not was apparently ignored. The train plunged into the abyss. Both, engineer and fireman, discovered the open draw too late to stop the train. The airbrakes were applied but did not work properly.

REFERRED TO HIGHER POWERS Disagreement Causes a Suspension of Negotiations Till Further Orders Are Received. After the settlement of seven of the twelve points which the peace en- voys at Portsmouth had under con- sideration there was a halt in the ne- gotiations until the commissioners could communicate with their home governments. ) The peace envoys reached the question of indemnity, and after dis- cussion without any agreement laid it aside to be taken up later, along with the question of the cession of Sakhalin, which previously was sim- ilarly treated. The following points were agreed upon at the early stages of the proceedings: 1 Recognition of Japan's preponderating influence in Korea. 2 Mutual obligation to evacuate Manchu- | ria; Russia to retrocede to China all Special | privileges. 3 Japanese obligation to restore the sov- churia. 4 Mutual obligations to respect the terri- torial and administrative integ and the principle of the “open door.” 6 The surrender of the Russian leases on the Liabtung peninsula, including Port Ar- thur, Dalney and the islands. Eastern Railway from Harbin southward. 8 Retention by Russia of the portion of the linefthrough Northern Manchuria, con- | necting-the Trans-Siberian road with Viadi- vostok. and 6, were disposed of to observe the integrity of China and the policy of the “open door” for the commerce of all nations Article 6 covers the surrender of the Russian leases to the Liaotung peninsula, Port Arthur, Dalny and the Blonde and Eliott islands. To article 4 both parties gave ready assent, and the official statement of the adoption of that article took care to state it was agreed to “unanimous- ly.” = Article 5, the consideration of which was postponed until later, provides for the cession of the island of Sakhalin. Discussion appearing use- less at this stage on account of the firm megative given in the Russian reply, it was decided on motion of the Japanese, to defer its discussion, thus reveaiing the Japanese intention of postponing to the end the life and death struggle. This is the usual procedure follow- ed in diplomatic negotiations, enabl- ing the megotiations to come to ac- cord upon all possible points before tackling the crucial issues. The fact the Russians acquiesced ‘in the propo- | sition that the world should not ac- cuse them of being responsible for precipitating the break, if break is to be, and wrecking the conference. This in itself is a hopeful sign. “In the morning sitting of August 16, the conference has taken up the discussion of article T. The dis- cussion not having been finished the conference took a recess at 1 o’clock. The session was resumed at 3. “At the afternoon session of the conference articles 7 and 8 were dis- cussed; article 7 was settled in prin- ciple and article 8 accepted unani- The conference at 6:30 ad- journed until 9:30 to-morrow morn- |a ford just below the Adkins home | jing” It was officially explained that there remained not a difference to be adjusted on article 7, but only the elaboration of a single point. Article 7 is the cession of the branch of the Chinese Eastern rail- road from Harbin southward, and ar- ticle 8 provides for the retention by Russia of the portion of the line through northern Manchuria, con- necting the Trans-Siberian road with Vladivostok. - Beilhart Wants Money.
