A Personal Deal.
It is noticeable that there is no rep-
resentative of the Russian Foreign Of-
fice among the Emperoe's entourage,
nor is the German Ambassador, Count
Alvesleben, on board the Polar Star.

Berlin, July 22.—The meeting of the
Kaiser is the exclusive object of the
Czar's journey. The Czar expressed
desire to consult the Kaiser, and tne sea
was selected as the meeting place as
the Czar cannot go to Germany nor can
the Kaiser go to Russia DU account of
the political condition. These are es-
tablished facts.
Not Ready for Liber0.
St. Petersburg, July 23.—Ruseia, is not
yet ripe for Parliamentary institutions.
The nation lacks both leaders and edu-
cation in load self-government.
This is the view of Constantine
Petrovitch Pobiedonostieff, Procurator -
General of the Holy Synod, who for two
generations was one of the moving spir-
its in. Russia's internal policy. Ile said
- the reformers were largely theorists, who
aiasevere attempting to fit the cloth of we'd -
ern institutions to a nation having its
own peculiar and distinetive ideas and
institutions. "Whatever the outcome of
the present movement may be," he eaid
"there will be more agrarian disorders
and uprisings, like that headed by the
rebel Cossack, Y.emelyan Pugaticheff, and
he determined to fly from the danger
on his yacht.
There is another element in the situa-
ion, however, of winch no knowledge. The German Government ia interested in

as has been shown by the Czar himself

MARVELLOUS ESCAPE OF FIVE
CARLOADS OF PEOPLE.
Buffalo, July 24.—An eastbound 'Wa-
bash passenger train, running on the
Grand Trunk tracks, left the rail e three
•miles west of Bridgeburg at 7.30, o'clock
last night.
Among the injured was Miss H. M.
Condit, of 11 Park place., Bleomfield,
N. J. Her right arm was broken. Miss
Condit is now at the General Hospital.
There were about 80 passengers. all of
whom were well shaken up, but none so
badly hurt *as Miss Condit.
Two waiters in the dining car were
cut about the hands. One hail his back
hurt. P.oth were brought to the General
Hospital in charge of a doctor from Fort
Erie.
The train was made up of it combina-
tion car, two sleepers, a chair ear,
and -a diner. The locomotive was of the
atlantic type. The engineers says he
was running at the rate of 40 miles
an hour when the accident occurred.
The engine did not leave the rails, but
the tender did, and all the ears followed.
The track is perfectly straight at the
scene of the wreck and in good con-
dition. There are no switches there.
The train crew was at it loss to account
for the accident. It is probable that
something dropped from the engine,
derailingthe tender.

THE EARTH TREMBLED.
THE SHOCK CENTRE PROBABLY IN

New York, July 24.—A Vienna dee-
patch to the World says that one of the
most violent earthquakes ever known
was indicated by the seismographs of the
hydrographic instruments at latibach •
and Pole yesterday. Between 3.55 and
4.57 it. m, the instruments showed extra-
ordinary movements in waves signifying
an earthquake catastrophe at a distance
of 0,000 kilometres (about 3,700 miles).
At 7 a. m. the instruments wore still vi-
brating.
The.distance indicated by the seismo-
graphs would locate the ,earthquake in
Central Asia, the most probable point, or
in mid-Atlantic or in the Arctie regions,
or in South Africa.
