according to the general view, should much
ahortcn tho campaign, but this Is a matter of
doubt. It is generally recognized, especially
by diplomatic observers, that Great llritaln is
making this war something more thaa a cam
paign against two little allied republics. She
proposes to give the world a demonstration of
lier military powers and resources on the same
ecale as she recently made a display of her
naval supremacy. If It wero otherwise tho
whole world would before now have been
ridiculing her for mobilizing tho whole military
lorceof the Empire In order to orush a people

for envious Europe, and It remains to bu seen
If tho Continent will be duly Impressed.
The outcome so far as South Afilca Is con
cerned Is such a foregone conclusion that a
lively discussion as to the political fate of the,
allied republic has already begun. It Is tin- I
derstood that the Cabinet has not reached a
decision, beond, of course, agreeing that
there must be no more Independent States in
South Africa, Borne favor a partition of the
republics between Natal. Cape Colony nnd
llechuansland, and others favor an adminis
tration as a Crown colony. The schema which
seems to meet with the most public favor,
however. Is the crentlon of a Dominion of
South Africa, somewhat similar to that of
Canada, with five federal States, Cape Colony,
Natal, the Transvaal, the Orange ltlver and
Rhodesia: a Oovernor-Oeneral to be appointed
by th Crown, each Htato to have a local legis
lature and the Dominion Parliament to sit at
Cap Town.

Different stories were told yesterday after
noon of how tho accident occurred, but the
one agreed in by all eyewitnesses of the affair
who could be found was to tho effect that a
boy, clinging to tha gate of a oar which had just
started, after being stalled for nearly half as
hour, swung his body out as he reached a place
where a number of passengers, who had left
their tiains on account ot the blockade, were
walking along the footpath between th up
town and downtown tracks. There was no
help for thoso who wore in tho boy's way. and
they were bruahed off the footpath Ilka so
many sticks of wood,
Dlockades, acoordlng to regular passengers,
have occurred with annoying frequency on the
Drooklyn Elevnted Railroad sinco the Installa
tion of electricity ns a moth power, and when
one occur at the rush hour, as it did yester
day, the i assengers promptly tako to the foot
path aud ruako for the nearest station, fiom
which they go down to th street nud continue
their journey by trolley mis. It was the tall
eid of the rush hour, about H;30 o'clock yester
day morning, when a motor car broke down
on the downtown track near Concord street.
Trains coming up behind were stalled, nad
before long the blockade extonded up Myrtle
avenue to juit beyond Hudson avenue, and up
the Fifth avenue Una past Tulton street.
Every train was crowded with passengers
and when the blockade had lasted about ten
minutes people began to gat impatient an I
wanted to know when they wore going to move
nghln. The conductors and gatemon couldn't
enlighten them, but made no objection when
passengers began opening the gates and
climbing out on the footpath. This method of
gi'tting ahead was adopted all along the line of
the blockade and, despite the danger of It,
there would probably have been no nccident
but for the circumstance mentioned above.
The footpath is made of planks and Is about
four feet wide. There Is no rail on either side
of it. nud the uptown tracks are fully llfteeu
faet away with an open space beteen, except
where iron glrdera cross, Caught aathe unfort
unate walkers wero yesterday, there was noth
ing theyooulddo but mnka a wild jump for tho
uptown track or sprint for one of the girders,
across which they could walk to safety. Ac
cording to all accounts, those who wro brushed
off hadn't time to adopt either method of
reaching a place of safety.
Probably a hundred passengers had made
their way to stations of the road by means of
the footpath when tho blockade was raised.
The broken-down motor car was pushed on its
way and the trains behind began to move.
The first half dozen trains in the blockade were
underway again before the last four or five
trains had started or their rasssngors knew
that the blockade had been broken.
Among the trains which waro stalled just
east of the Ilrldca street station on -Myrtle
avenue was one of tho Fifth nvenuellne, drawn
by a motor car. The pnsspngers of this tialn,
like th' so on the o'her trains, had been taking
to the footpath, and just before, the blockade
was raised n number of them. Including several
who were Injured a few minutes later, clam
bered down and made for the Urldge street
station, Hehlnd them on the footpath wss a
score of other persons who had left other
trains.
It was about half a minute after theso Inst
few Impatient passengers left the Fifth avenue
train that there was a general starting up of
trains all along this endofthellne. The motot-
man of the Fifth avenue train started ur
slowly, but kept inoroaslng his speed all the
time. Apparently thero was no danger ahead,
and tho walkers had nothing to fear from th
train a long ns they stuck to the path.
Just as th motorman begun to Increase his
speed, a boy, who had got off of one of the
Hldgewood or Lexington avonue trains behind,
paw an opportunity to olamber aboard. He
inude u spring from the footpath to the rear
platform of th last cnr of the Fifth avenue
train. Ills fet struck the platform, but slipped
and he waa left clinging to the closed gate. He
was perfectly safe nnd In nnother minute
would have been upon the platform and In a
position to open or jump over the gate. Hut
In scrambling for n foothold, ho swung his
body out from th trnln, which was now
moving swiftly, and bumped against a man
who was walking along the footpath.
This man was August Schneider, who died
afterward from his Injuries, Schneider gave a
scream and went flying off the footpath In
rapid succession six other weie swept oft.
One man just managed to reach the Drldge
street station In time to save himself: and
nnother man, although carried off of his feet,
clutched the edge of tho footpath as he fell,
and hung on until the train had passed. He then
pulled himself up and orawled ulong the foot
path on his hands and knees until ho reached
the station.
The scene on Myrtle avenue Immediately
attar the men fell was frightful. The seven
men' who hail beu knocked off the elevated
structure cam down so suddenly that before
persons In the street could reallz what had
happened thuy were pl.od upon one another,
bruised and bleeding In thu middle of the
roadway. Two or three of (ho men let out
screams for help as they fell and their outcries

struck the heavy feed wires ot the trolley road
while falling, which probably accounts for th
fact that noo of thorn was Instantly killed.
All seven fell in a heap just abovo Drldge
street and almost dlrootly In front of William
M. Hhlpman's feed storo.
A woman who waa passing rushed Into tha
store nnd after emitting a acream, threw up
her hands and fellln u faint on tha floor. Mr.
Hhlnman, followed by several of Ills employees,
ran Into the streol, and. seeing the men lying
In the middle of the road, went over to them.
A dozen others enino up at th same time, nnd
whll soma did what thy could forth Injured,
others ran to telephone for ambulances.
The plight ot the men who had fallen was
pltluble. Ono or two, fortunately for them,
were unconscious, but th othnr wer In pos
session of their senses aud war suffering
agony. Not one was able to move, and they
just lay arid walled for somebody to pull thorn
apart.
In a few mliuitus ambulances arrived from
several liospituls, including th Drooklyn aud
tho Homa'opathlc. The former I closer to tho
fceeneot the accident than any ot the others,
but when It came to n question of remov
ing the more seriously injured, th
surgeon from the Homaxipnliilc Hospital and
one from th Drooklyn Hospital got Into a dis
pute. While tho victims of the accident were
lying on the ground the two young doctors
bickered, until finally Police Captain Duun
settled their argument by ordering allot the
injured taken to the Drooklyn Hospital.
August Schneider waa picked up bleeding
from the cars, nose and mouth. It was clear
to the surgeous that ha was mortally hurt, and
he was taken away as soon an the dispute be
tweeii tho doctors wax settled. At tha hospital

Fourteenth Street Worried Over tha
Situation Up the Stnte, Which Threat-
ant to Interfere with III Profile Hare, j
The non. Diehard Orokar took part at his
club last night In th last social function that
he will conduct until after Nov. 7th. He
entertained the Lord Mayor of Dublin, John
E. Hedmond. and William Temple Emmet, at a
dollar dinner. Function at the club are usually
much more sxpanelve, but since Mr. Oroker
has come out for the Hon, William Jennings
Bryan as th "natural and approved leader of
the Democratlo party of tke nation," and since
Mr, Dryan has expressed his preference for
dollar dinners, dinners of that price hav be
come the rul. The Lord Mayor met Sheriff
Dunn yesterday before he went to the club.
"Ha. Ha," said the Sheriff, "I'm glad to see
ran. lr. I'm glad to hear you've got as good a
job In the old country a I've been able to pick
up here. You're a good man."
There was nothing political In last night's
function at th club.
Considerable satlsfaatlou wn xrresied yes
terday by th old-time leaders of Tammany
Hall at the fact that Mr. Croker had reconciled
himself to giving up his club during the cam
paign and that he would be on deck at Tam
many Hall on Monday to take per
sonal charge of thing. In spit of tho
expressed confidence ot the Tammany
leader and the Democratlo leaders from
up the Stat it Is a fact that Mr. Croker In con
siderably worried. The Tammany chUftaln Is
atlsfltd with the situation in New York. Ho
belloves that his oounty tlokst will be elected
by a big majority, and lie believes that h can
tak away come of the Assembly districts from
the Republicans, but close friends tell him thnt
things are looking very bad for him outsld ot
New York and King county, and that usless
something more than Is being done Is don
pretty qulok the possibility ot electing a Dem
ocratlo majority in th Assembly this year will
be gone.
Mr. Croker wants to get tho Legislature to
assist him In his business In New York eity,
but more than that h wants to gat It to pre
vent the dipping ot Tammany' olawe that
will surely follow the racltctlon of a Hepubll
can majority.
Tammany Hall wants, moro than anything
else, to be let alone, A hostile Legislature can
raise Cain with the "graft" that it Is having
now, aad that explains the tremendous in
terest thai Tammany's chieftain and Tam
many herself have In Democratlo success
In th State this fall, Whll thure I bo
open growl about the work of the Exoutlve
Committee of th Democratlo State Committee,
whieh has charge ot th campaign In th
Stat, there Is a feeling that Chair
man Danforth's committee is not doing
nil that could be done. Chairman Dan
forth himself I doing piles of work, but
sine tho appointment of the oommilteo
and the onenlug of the headquarter In the
Hoffman lions but one member of the com
mittee charged with the duty ot running th
campaign has even called at the head,
quarters. That member waa Judge S. S.
Little ot Chomnnr. II packed up sev
eral days ago and want back to his home.
The Hon. FrankiCarnpbell, the chairman
pf the UemooratlcfStnte Committee hasn't been
around for a week, and It le not known when
helacomlag. Tins leaves tha whole burden
of the campaign on Chairman Dnnforth. and
Tammany Hall folks think it If- about time
that some of the other committeemen got
around and took hold. They don't like the
looks of things.
Chairman Danforth himself has not ex
pressed any particular desire for the presence
of other members of tha committee. Chair
man Dnnforth la uot betting any money, for
money is a scarce nrtlclo around Demo
cratlo headquarters this year. but
ho has his rainbows on tap. and yester
day he was so much encouraged by the
outlook that one rainbow was trotted out la
the shape of a candidate for Speaker of the
Assembly. The occasion was tha receipt of a
despatch from Schuyler oounty to the effect
that the sun was shining up there and that the
Hon. J. K. Barnes, n physician ot Pnan Yen
had a fine cbance of bolng elected
"Dr. Domes." said Chairman Danforth, "is
just th man for Speaker of th Assembly,"
Then he thought a minute nnd added In an
undertone, "or leader of tha minority in case
we do not carry the Assembly. He will make
and eioellent presiding officer. It Is true
that he has had no experience In the As
sembly, but experience la not absolutely
necessary. The non. George W. Palmer, the
Demooratlc leader of the Aseembly last year,
served only one term before he was chosen
leader, and he was eminently successful."
It need only be added that Schuyler county
Is ii rock-ribbed Republican county, and that
Dr. Barnes's chnncea nf election there, accord
ing to nil reports except the ono received at
Democratic headquartora, are about as good as
are the chances of electing a Republican as
semblyman in th Fourteenth assembly
dlstrlot In this town, where a member of the
Tammany Hall General Committee it running
en tha Hepubllcnn ticket.
Amonc Ur. Danforth's visitors yesterday
waa the Hon. Robert A. Maxwell, the chief
headsman of President Cleveland's Admin
istration. Mr. Maxwoll was a supporter ot
Palmer and Ducknor in 18SH). He couldn't
stomach the Hon. William Jennincs Bryan
and the Chicago p'atform. Mr. Maxwell
declared yesterday at headquarters that he
and all the other Democratsthat he know were
Inline, and that Incase nf the nomination of
Mr. Bryan next year they would support him.
Another visitor at the headquarters was the
Hon. Robert Hamilton of Fort Edwards. Mr,
Hamilton and Mr. Maxwell each got a view of
the cold storage-room shut oft by the door
that Mr. Danforth had hung nftor his interview
w tth the Hon. David II. Hill at the Manhattan
Hotel earlv In tha week.
John F. flaynor. tho treasurer of tho Demo
cratlo Btato Committee, was another visitor.
Mr. Danforth said that Mr. (iuynor is by
v.rtue of ills oftlc transurer of the
campaign commute alto. Mr. Ouvnor
was asked if the Hon, Perry Belmont had
sent his check this year. H" shook his head,
llo was inked if ths Hon William C. Whitney
hud come up Mr. Gaynnr shook his head,
And so ho continued tn shako while a list of nil
the customary contributors to tha Democratic
campaign fund was cone through with.
Then Mr Gnynorsald he thomjht there would
be money enough lo pny tho rent of tho
rnnma and buy poslag stumps.
They wer illnusinc tho Fusion ticket ut
