The infant child of Mrs. Marsh had been ill with pneumonia and the mother had been watching over it for some days. It is believed the mother fell asleep from fatigue and never awoke, being suffocated while asleep. TWO KILLED Engineer and Brakeman Are Crushed to Death in Wreck.

Hazing of every kind will be stamp- ed cut of the naval academy, at An- napolis, regardless of the number of dismis¢nls from the brigade of mid- shipmen, necessary to bring about this result. Two midshipmen, Coffin and Van Derveer, will be dismissed from the academy by the secretary of the navy, one for hazing and the other for countenancing, it by failure while on duty to report its occurrence. Other dismissals will follow as often as midshipmen are found guilty of hazing or countenancing it. Arouscd by the condition of affairs, hich reports show to exist at the lemy so far as the treatment of rth class men are concerned, Sec- retary Bonaparte telephoned to Rear Admiral James E. Sands, superin- tendent of the academy, a request to come to Washington as soon as pos- sible for a conference. It will be the initial step in a new and vigorous campaign to be waged at Annapolis against hazinz. Admiral Sands “will have the unqualified sup- port of the navy department in his ef- forts to abolish the evil, and Secre- tary Bonaparte announced that the admiral possessed the full confidence of the officials at Washington, in his ability to handle the situation to the entire satisfaction of the department. Congressional investigation of the conditions at the academy has already been proposed, in a resolution intro- duced in the House by Representative Loud, of Michigan.

SAFETY APPLIANCES INCREASED Inter-State Commerce Commission Reports Progress. The annual report of the Inter-State Commerce Commission was made- pub- lic on the 14th, The report shows 568 complaints filed withthe Commission duri: ag the year, including: formal and informal proceedings. The number. of investi- gations .on formal complaint institut- ed during the year is 65, involving di- rectly the rates and practices of 321 carriers. Seventy-nine hearings and investigations Were held. Six cases were settled through . concession: of relief by carriers and 22 cases were discontinued. Forty-five formal de- cisions were rendered. Within the year improvement has taken place in the condition of safety appliances. This gratifying condition is in great measure due to the action of the courts in clearly defining the statute, leaving no room for doubt concerning its proper nterpretation and application. The great progress in the case of air brakes has been accompanied by marked deterioration in the condition of hand brakes. There is still room for improvement in the maintenance of the retaining valves of air brakes. CANNOT DISARM NATION | President Replies To Requsst of De- legation of Shakers.

REGULAR WARFARE WAGED Insurgents Capture a Baronial Strong- hold After Most of Its Defend- ers Are Killed. It seems to be beyond that bloody collisions have occurred between troops and the united peasantry and workmen in the streets of Riga, during which machine guns were used. The situation is most serious in the country, which is practically aband- oned to the revolutionary bands owing to the concentration of the troops in the cities and towns. Against some of the estates where the landlords, aided by a few faithful adhereats, are attempting to protect their prop- erty, the revolutionists are conduct- ing regular military operations. They reduced the garrison of the estate of Baron von Loewis to submission after most of the defenders had been killed, and plundered and burned the buildings and carried off the baron. The survivors were made prosoners. The outbreak of the mutinous spir- it in the Manchurian army is partly attributable to the failure to pay and properly feed the troops. The latter problem is. especially difficult owing to the impossibility of forwarding | adequate provisions from Russia on account of the practical paralysis of the railroad to Siberia. . Reports from the provinces indi- cate that the country generally re- mains close to the boiling point. The situation in the Caucasus is again serious. The Tartars and Armenians are murdering each other as of yore. At Elizabethpol especially there has been a savage exhibition of race ‘hatred. question TO STOP REBATES Attorney General Directs District At- torneys to Enforce Law.

The method of proceedings suggested is by way of indictment. It is the expectation that this let- ter will result in the prompt investi- gation of all complaints made of dis- criminations by carriers, followed by the indictments where the evidence warrants.

The London “Daily Telegraph” prints the concluding part of the dis- patch from Moji, Japan, giving de- tailed accounts by refugees of the al- leged sacking and burning.of Harbin, Manchuria, by mutinous Russians. It says the mutineers set fire to and pillaged houses in every direction and seized all the weapons and ammuni- tion they were able to lay their hands on. When dawn came, according to these accounts, all the mutineers crept into hidding places. Daylight revealed the Chinese quarter in ruins and 400 Russian citi- zens lying dead or wounded in the streets of Harbin. The authorities, the accounts say, really assisted the mutineers in sacking the remnants of the city, while pretending that they were making efforts to suppress the mutiny. CZAR CHANGES HIS MIND Project to Grant Universal Suffrage May be Abandoned. It is learned on high authority that the government has finally decided against universal suffrage and prac- tically in favor of the old project of 21 workmen representatives and the extension of the ballot to the small rent payers, merchants and the edu- cated classes. However, the law must pass the council of the empire and receive imperial approval. If the decision is upheld it is apt to end all question of the support of the zemstvoists. The situation is exceedingly omni- ous. Public opinion is practically unanimous that the government has entered upon the fatal path of reac- tion, and that Witte’s ministry must fall : FACTORY IS DYNAMITED Friends of Dark Tobacco Growers Are Suspected.

SOME JUMPED FOR SAFETY Force of the Collision Carried Both Cars a Distance of alf a Square. Running at a gate faster thna a mile a minute, one of the heavy cars of the Meadville-Cambridge Springs line dashed down the entire length of College hill at Meadville, Pa., and meeting a car bound for Cambridge at the foot of the hill, blazed from there to Randolph street a path of death and destruction.

The loaded Cambridge Springs car had turned up North Main street. The motorman shouted a warning to his passengers. He either had to make the Baldwin street switch or be crushed by the wildcat car. The men on the runaway car saw a col- lision was inevtitable and started jumping on all sides. Passengers on the upcoming car followed suit but the cars were so crowded that all could not escape. The two cars crashed together and the momentum of the runaway car- ried both cars below Randolph street, a distance of about 150 feet. It is said that Mrs. Breed was walking in the street and was crushed by the wrecked cars. The body of Mr. Beckman was badly mangled. a large piece of timber going through his body.
