MIST OBSCURES SIGNAL. Of the dead sixteen were passengers in | U two rear cars of the Marlborough train. The other two were Engineer Barnard of the Montreal express and his fireman. No passengers on the express | n were injured. Of those who lost their lives a number were apparently | killed instantly in the collision, while oth- ers were either burned to death or died from suffocation. k wreck was primarily due to thick | ther, which apparently obscured sig- | t by the forward train, which at| time of the disaster was standing in of Bakers Bridge station. The al: train, drawn by two locomo- nd consisting of nine cars, crashed into the rear of the Mariborough branch local, demolishing the two rear cars, According to the statement of persons | who were at the depot a brakeman was | sent from the Marlborough branch train to place a fuse or redfire torch some dis- tance in the rear. The night was unusu- ally dark, partly owing to a dense mist. The torch had not been set more than a minute before the roar of a heavy train around a curve a short distance east. of the depot was heard. Within a few see- onds the headlight of an on-rushing loco- motive showed through the mist, and be- fore a voice could be lifted to warn the in the waiting train the two | engines, traveling at a speed | y-five miles an hour, crashed into | The impact was terrific. The leading locomotive telescoped the | rear car of the Marlborough train and the | second vngine forced this mass against | the third car of the local and completely wrecked it. In these two cars all but two of ike fatalities occurred and prac- tically all of the injuries. The collision | destroyed the forward locomotive of the | Montreal train, but the engine following, { although much damaged, did not leave the rafls. None of the cars of the ex- i press was thrown from the track and the collision apparently had little effact upon | those in them. FIRE ADDS TO HORROR. | ¥ire added to the horror, flames almos: | immedfately communicating to the wreck- age of the passenger coaches. A number of passengers, who had been pinned | down by broken seats, were incinerated. Some of them, however, had evidently been Killed instantly. The flames made it dificwt to reach some who were alive, but who haa been unable 14 free themselves from the mass.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2%.—Following the suggestion of President Roosevelt for uniform _eligibllity rules in college athlet- ics and for the elimination of unnecessary roughness, brutality and foul play in | football, the University of Pennsylvania | has 1aken the initiative for the suggested reforms and has addressed & circular let- ter on the subject to the heads of ail ties, colleges, private schools and other institutions in the United States in- | terested in athletics. This action was taken after a number of meetings of the university committee on athletics of the University of Pennsylvania, at which President Roosevelt's thoughts on the The committee formulated rules which it is thought will meet the situation and decided to send them to the authorities of all educational institutions in the country for considera- tion and adoption if they met with ap- proval. i The rules proposed provide that no stu- dent shall represent his collegein athletic sports during his first year of residence, nor for more than four years thereafter; proficient in scholarship be allowed on the teams, and that the college authorities student from athletic sports. The commiitee inclosed a copy of a communication received by it from the board of coaches, which (so far as the committee feels itself competent to deal with the technicalities of football) meets with its approval. CHANGES IN THE RULES. The board of coaches discusses the ich football has been sub- jected, and ventures the opinion that the danger of injury in mass play is more ap- parent than real. Nine-tenths of all se- rious injuries, the board says, oceur in so-called open play. The board suggests the following changes in the playing rules: F “‘unnecessary roughness,” up,” “the use of the open hand or el. bows,” etc., a penalty twenty-five yaras; for the offense of slugging with the fist, of “kneeing” or of other equally unsportsmanlike action, that the player not only be disqualified by removal from the game, but that for the remainder of the half in which the offense occurred his | team be obliged to continue the game | without a substitute for him and that the player who shall for the second time in one season be penalized for brutality be ineligible to represent any college or uni- versity for the remainder of the season. POSITION OF DR. ELIOT. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 26.—Presi- dent Eliot of Harvard, in an interview to-night, stated with considerable empha- sig that he would not invite a meeting of university and college presidents to un- dertake the reform or abolition of foot- 'ball, as he was requested to do in a telegram sent him by Chancellor Mac- Continued on Page 3, Column 2. “piling —The crews of two Black Sea warships are supporting the Sebastopol mutineers and refuse to obey their officers. CREWS OF TWO WARSHIPS AR E SUPPORTING THE REBELS . AT Seaport City Is Turned Into War Camp. SEBASTOPOL, Nov. 2.—Though the mutinous sailors have not yet submitted, but, on the contrary, have received prom- ises of support from the crews of the bat- tleship Panteleimon (formerly the Kniaz Potemkige) and the eruiser Otchakoff, and though they are in complete posses sion of Admiralty Point, wheré the bar- racks are located. therc .were no disor- ders to-day and the situation is regarded as _much Improved. The mutineers have been deserted by the Brest regiment, which marched off under arms to a camp formed by loyal sailors and sent a message to Vice Admiral Chouknin asking his pardon and saying they were ready tosreturn to duty. The crews of all the ships excent the Pan- teleimon and the Otchakoff refused to join the mutiny and refused to answer the signals of the sallors on shore. The men on the ships named have not yet risen. The authorities have posted artillery on the boulevard, which is the sole ave- nue of communication between the city and the stronghold of the mutineers, and on the Balaklava road, the only other egress from Admiralty Point. They have the mutineers completely hemmed in, but are awaiting the arrival of the troops from Simferopol before attempting to retake the barracks. Small bodies of unarmed sailors, how- ever, were allowed to enter the city to- day and they strolled about without be- ing molested. The Government buildings are guarded by troops. ‘The mutineers apparently are in a state of excellent discipline. They have con- structed barricades, have placed a guard at the aqueduct which supplies the bar- racks and have thrown out pickets, which take regular turns at guard duty. They declared that they had risen ' because their commanders had withheld conces- sions promised by the Emperor and that they are ready to hold out until these are put into effect. ¢ & The strike of the railroad men in sym- pathy with the mutinous saflors fs de- laying the arrival of troops.

SEBASTOPOL, Saturday, Nov. 2 (mid- night, delayed in transmission).—The long expected mutiny of sallors who have been i | | { e FLEET COMMANDER, MAY BE DICTATOR OF MUTINEERS, on the of revoit has come, and the Black Sea verge Russla’s stronghold is in danger of falling completely into their hand: The situation is very critical. All the | shore equipages, numbering 4000 men, are in open rebellion, having driven away their officers or taken them prisoners. The Brest regiment of infantry went over in a body to the mutineers. General Neplueff, the commander of the fortress, is u captive. The Bielostok regiment, the only other regiment in the city, recelved the mu- tineers with cheers, but thus far it re- mains loyal, Some of the artillerists also have joined the men in revoit. Besides the Bielostok regiment there are two battalions of artillery and a bat- talion of fortress artillery here. The Euxine fleet is standing in the of- fing and is still obeying the orders of Vice Admiral Chouknin, but the crews are disaffected and there is great doubt whether they can be restrained from join- ing the mutineers and greater doubt that they would fire upon them. The Seventh Army Corps and the com- mander of the corps hav been hastily summoned from Simferopel, eight hours distant. There is every evidence that the mu- tiny was deliberately and perfectiy ‘planned by the Social Revolutionaries, who have been pushing: their propaganda with great energy since the St. Petess- burg strike was orgavized to save the Kronstadt mutineers. On Friday eight sailors at the barracks seized, disarmed and expelled their of- ficers. They then assembled a great meeting. mander of the practice squadron, sup- ported by a company from the Brest reg- iment, went to the meeting and when it refused to disperse ordered the troops to fire. however, two shots rang out and Cap- tain Stein of the company fell dead and Rear Admiral Pizarevski received a ball in his shoulder. During the night the sailors, with the ald of the Social Democratic leaders, hav. ing learned a lesson {rom tne less pru- dent mutineers at Kronstadt, they eleet- ed officers and decided upon a programme, pledging themselves not to pillage, kill or drink vodka, and to take measures to prevent rowdyism. mfluflum&ai_-' 1.

PETERSBURG, Nov. 21—1:30 a. m.— | tI At midnight the press was informed by an officlal of the Admiralty that the re-| ports received up to that hour showed there had been no conflict at Sebastopol yesterday. So far as the officials knew, the crews of the Black Sea fleet were still loyal, but beyond that no informa- tion was vouchsafed. It {s mot known whether the troops which were ordered to proceed from Simferopol have arrived at Sebastopol. The sailors who mutinied number about 4000 and belong to various equipages, from the Twenty-eighth to the Thirty-sixth. Including the sailors on board the ships there were about $M0 in Sebastopol when the mutiny occurred. The troops in the garrison consisted of the Brest and Bie- lostok regiments, with two battalions of artillery and one battalion fortress artillery. The Bielostok regim during the outbreak several weeks ago, fired upon the soldiers, and at the Admiralty no doubt is now entertained that the mu- tiny was the result of the carefully pre- pared work of revolutionary workers, to whom the support given the mutineers at Kronstadt by the workmen of St. Pe- tersburg offered a powerful weapon. Prof- iting by the mistakes of the mutineers at Kronstadt, however, those at Sebasto- pol took particular care to adopt meas- ures to prevent their meeting degenerat- | ing into a drunken riot, and, so far as known, both the mutineers and the work- men in the vort have comported them- selves in a perfectly orderly fashion. REBELS HAVE ABLE LEADERS, There Is a strong impression here that ihtelligent leaders are at the head of the movement. It is evident also that the sailors at Kronstadt have had under- round information of what was oecur- ring at Sebastool, because on Saturday morning, before the news was known in St. Petersburg, reports of the mutiny re freely circulated at Kronstadt. Vice .Admiral Birileff, Minister of Ma- had issued a formal order threat- ening with arrest and the severest pun- ishment under the law all those who cir- culated reports of the mutiny. In both Cabinet and naval circles it is regarded as absolutely vital that the mu- tiny be crushed in the severest fashion at any cost, if discipline in the navy is to be restored and the army held loyal. In the event of the saflors of Viece Ad- miral Chouknin's ships remaining loyal they will co-operate with the troovs of the Seventh Corps from Simferopol. SCENE OF COMING BATTLE. The problem of hemming in the mutin- eers and subduing the revoit is stated by mnaval officers to be comparatively easy. The marine barracks lie at the ex- tremity of a narrow tongue of land jut- ting out between the southern roadstead and what is Kknown as the “ships bay.” The barracks of the uJielostok regiment are at the very neck of the peninsula, nestling under” the sheiter of the famous | Malakoft Hill, barring the route to the city, which _.es on the southern side of the roadstead, opposite the quarters of the sailors. The warships could enter the roadstead and ships bay, practically surround the mutineers on three sides and batter their barracks down about their ears. The forts of Sebastopol lie west and south of the city and along the north shore of Sebastopol Bay, and only the could be barracks. ntrance to the roadstead brought to bear upon the its TROOPS MUTINY.

PETERSBURG, 26.—The sue- cessful mutiny of the s: accompanied by the first open revolt an entire regiment of troops, has created the greatest alarm in Government circies and ne attempt is made to disguise the lors of Sebastopol, serfousness of -this latest erisis. The army is the last prop of the Gov- ernment. Mutiny is contagioys and the epidemic of revolt, which has attacked in turn practically all the units of the navy from Viadivostok to Kronmstadt, it is now feared is destined similarly to spread throughout the army. Ugly re, have been repeatedly culated of sedition among the sold in Manchuria and it was specifica ported a week ago that General - vitch had to pu wn a mutiny with stderable bloodshed and that subsequently he caused forty-two men to be shot No confirmation of this report was ob- tainable, but whether it be true or not the morale of the troops on garrison duty in Russia has certai erywhere been shaken by the revolut and the fidelity of of the Guard regime During the disorders following the g mulgation of the imperial manifesto £ he provincial Governors refrs testing _the ¢ of the troops, preferring to rely “ossacks, who showed no signs of wavering.
