It Is probable that the metric sys tem of weights and measures will be Introduced before long iu Russia. The bill which lias been prepared to this effect by the minister of finance has received the approbation of tbe htat. council, with the understanding that the university and the various scienti fic societies will give their assistance in the certificates of the weights and measures necessary for commercial use. The details have been nearly all decided upon, and will be Kiibmltt?d to the council in the near future. Since 18',G the metric system Las been used by the medical service of the Russian army iu the compound ing of formulas, this having been made obligatory. Dr. Leopoldo Arnud, the Spmish con sul In Chicago, who has tendered Ills resignation, said that he believed the work of reviving commercial Interests between the United States and Spain had been done well. He added: "Spain today is on t;ie road to become one of tbe foremost powers in Europe. The people have come to realize that the war with the United States was a war of governments, and no animosity ex ists between the inhabitants of the two countries. The war was a good thing for Spain. The nation had been giving its best men and ?103,000,0!)0 annually to the wars in progress in the Philippines, Cuba and Porto Itico. As a result of the recent conflict the powers of Spain are concentrated for the country's development and ad vancement. In 10 years the world will not recognize the nation." i The comparative ineffectiveness of the rifle fire of the British soldiers in South Africa has called out a con siderable amount of comment in Eng land. A Bisley expert, writing in the Daily Mail, note's that in th: British army volley firing is cultivated t: a large extent. He says that it is be lieved to regulate the expenditure of ammunition, to compel each soldier to tire coolly with properly adjusted sight, and to enable the commander to direct his fire at the desired point The eame writer, however, says that. Burnham, the American scout, called attention to the fact that the Boers would "duck" when they saw the smoke of a volley, and rise to lire after it bad passed over them. The tuith is that volley firing cannot be used to advantage except ' against men in masses and at moderate ranges. 'American tactics, however, prefer the use of magazine fire at short ranges and at the critical moment of attack or defence. The English employment of the volley is part of the cons rva tive methods which prevail in the service of the Queen, and which have received some pretty severe shocks in the course of lue war ta . South Africa, BRESCI IS SENTENCED Anarchist Slayer of King Humbert Goes Up For Life. IS THE EXTREME PENALTY IN ITALY IIU Trial tt'aa Without Any Kicltlng IikI.ImiU nnl W Quickly Concluded. The trial of Bread, the anarchist who July 20 shot and killed King Humbert, of Italy, at Monza, while his majesty was returning from a gym nastio exhibition, opened at Milan, Italy, Wednesday. At the close of the trial Rresci was pronounced guilty and sentenced to imprisonment for life. An immense crowd of people gathered about the court from early morning, seeking ad mission to the court room, where only a few places were reserved for the ticket-holding public. The bearing began at 9 o'clock, llresci sat in the dock, calm and al most indifferent. His counsel, Signor Morlino, made various requests for an adjournment, which were refused. He said tbat.Uresci wrote to the judges declaring he would not reply to the in terrogatory. While the indictment, which was very long, was being read, Bresci was apparently unmoved and scanned the faces of the audience without any signs of fear or effrontery. The in dictment showed that the assassin in dulged in incessant target practice, and that he prepared ballots so as to render them more dangerous. The witnesses were then introduced. There were eleven for the prosecution and five for the defense. The exam ination of Brefei followed. He declared lie decided to kill King Humbert after the events of Milan "to avenge the misery of the peopb and my own." He added, "I acLtf with out advice or accomplices." The prisoner admitted the target practice and preparation of the bullets. Jie spoke in a low firm voice and said raid he fired three shots with his re volver. Two wooden targets were here placed on the table before the judges. Two hours suspension of the court followed, and then the witnesses were heard. A brigadier of gendarmes, Salvatori, recapitulated the story of the assas ination of the king. He said he saved Bresci from the crowd which nearly lynched the assassin. Bresci when ressuod was covered with blood. General Avogadro Des Contes di Quinto,' the king's aide-de-camp, who was with the king when he was killed, recounted how the king was shot. The royal groom deposed that he seized Bresci by the throat. A wit ness named Ramella, who lodged with Bresci and a friend three days prior to the crime, said the prisoner was al ways perfectly calm.

THIRTEEN DEAD IN COLLISION Excnrsion Train Crashed With Fearful Force Into Milk Cars. OVER THIRTY PERSONS INJURED The Impact Was Terrific and Both Trains Smashed Almost to Kindling Wood. Thirteen persons killed and over thirty others injured in the appalling record of a rear-end collision between an excursion train and a milk train on the Bethlehem branch of the Philadel phia and Reading railway Sunday morning at Hartfield, Ta., twenty seven miles north of Philadelphia. The wrecked train consisted of ten dey coaches and was the first section of a large excursion made up of peo ple from Bethlehem, Allentown and surrounding towns to Atlantic City. It left the union depot in Bethlehem at 6:05 Sunday morning exactly thirty five minutes behind the milk train. The latter train consisted of two milk cars and two passenger coaches and had stopped at every station on the road from Bethlehem en route to Phil adelphia. At 6:54 the milk train drew up at the milk platform at Hatfield and in less than two minntes the special ex cursion .train, running at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour, crashed into the rear of the milk train The loco motive plowed through the two pas senger coaches and crushed them as if they were egg shells. The milk car immediately, in front was also badly wrecked. Four persons. Godfrey Kae- in. his daughter Mamie, Harold Lan- dis and William Blackburn, on the passenger car of the milk train, were almost instantly killed. Fortunately there were very few persons on this train. The excursion train was a picture of indescribable horror. The locomotive was a mass of bent and broken iron and firmly held the bodies of its en gineer and fireman beneath its great weight. Behind the engine six of the ten cars were also a mass of wreckage. The first car was broken in twain and the other five cars were thrown on their sides, completely demolished. Nine persons were killed in the first two cars and the others in tht3e coaches were badly maimed. As soon as the crash came a terrible cry rose from the smashed cars, and those who had not been injured quick ly crawled or jumped from the cars and went to the assistance of the in jured. Many were pinned down by wreckage and had to be freed by the liberal use of axes. Messengers were sent to the nearby villages for physi cians and a relief train was telegraphed for from Bethlehem. With fifteen doc tors and a half dozen nurses a special train was sent from Bethlehem, but before it reached the scene of the wreck it was signaled to return to Bethlehem, as a special carrying nearly all the injured had started for the hos pital at that place. On the run from Hatfield to the hospital three of the injured died. There are conflicting stories as to responsibility for the accident. One version is that the engineer of the ex cursion train had been warned at Sou derton, the station above Hatfield, that a milk train was a few minutes ahead of him. Another story is that the train dispatcher's office in Philadel phia was at fault. The trainmen re fused to talk of the accident. GETS HANDSOME FEE.

TEXT OP PROPOSAL As Suggested to United States By tho Russian Qovercraent. crrosmoN fkoh son quarters. Ollirr I'owrn Hat Ilrrn Akkrd to Con- KUr the Mattr Fully and Make Jtply Thereto. The state department has made pub lio the text of the Russian proposal and its responso as follows: Telegraphic instructions sent to the representative of the United States in Berlin, Vienna, Paris, London, Rome, Tokio and St. Petersburg. Department of state, Washington, August 29, 1900. The Russian charge yesterday made to me an oral respect ing Russia's purposes in China, to the following effect: "That as already repeatedly declar ed Russia has no designs of territorial acquisition in China; that equally with other powers now operating there, Russia has sought safety of le gations at Pekin and to help the Chi nese government to repress the trou bles that, incidentally to necespary defensive measures on Russian border, Russia has occupied Nowchwang for military purposes and as soon as order is re-established will retire troops therefrom if action of other powers be no obstacle thereto; that the purpose for which the various governments have co-operated for relief of legations in Pekin has been accomplished; that, taking the position that, as the Chinese government has left Pekin, there is no need for her representative to remain, Russia has directed Russian minister to retire with his official personnel from China; that the Russian troops will likewise be withdrawn; und that when the gov ernment of China shall regain the reins of government and afford an au thority with which the other powers can deal, and will express desire to enter in negotiations, the Russian gov ernment will also name its representa tive. Holding these views and pur poses, Russia expresses hope that the United States will share th& same opinion." ANSWER OF UNITED STATES. To thb declaration our reply has been made by the following memoran dum: "Tho government of the United States receives with much satisfaction the reiterated statement that Russia has no designs of territorial acquisi tion on China and that equally with the other powers mow operating in China, Russia has sought the safety of her legation in Pekin and to help tho Chinese government to repress the ex isting troubles. The same purpose will control the government of the United States aud frank declarations of Russia in this regard are in ajcord with those made to the United States by the other powers. All the powers, therefore, having disclaimed any purpose to acquire any part of China, aud now that adherence thereto has been renewed since relief has reached Pekin, it ought not to be thnicult by concurrent action through negotiations to reach an amicable set tlement with China by which the treaty rights of all the powers will be secured for the future, the open door assured, the interests and property of foreign citizens conserved and full reparation made for wrongs and in juries suffer 3d by them. As a result of these considerations unless there is such a general expres sion by the powers in favor of contin ued occupation as to modify the views of Russia and lead to a general agree ment for continued occupation, we shall give instructions to the com mander of the American forces in China to withdraw our troops from Pekin after due conference with other commanders as to the time and manner of withdrwal. "So far as we are advised the greater part of China is at peace and earnestly desires to protect the life and property of all foreigners, and in several of the provinces active and skillful efforts to suppress the Boxers have been taken by the viceroys, to whom we have ex tended encouragement through our consuls and naval officers. The pres ent good relation ehonld be promoted for the peace of China. "The government of the United States is much gratified by the assur ance given by Russia that tho occupa tion of New Chwang is for military pur poses incidental to the military steps for the security of the Russian border provinces menaced by the Chinese, and that as soon as order has been es tablished Russia will retire her troops from those places if the action of the other powers be not an obstacle there to. "No obstacle in this regard can arise through any action of the United ' States, whose policy is fixed and has been repeatedly proclaimed. (Signed) "Alvey Adee, "Actg Secretary." A MMIt ShrinVorn.
