Coroner Wells on Fridty night. Five more witnesses , were L ueard. The jury was unable at the end to x the responsibility and returned an open verdict. ` : ' J. Wisdom, of Town who was a 7. passenger on the Cobalt yer, de-W posed that he was among the first _ to get out of thewreck. He went up to the `engine to see who was 4 hurt. Saw both the engineer and the reman. The engine was almost upturned. Examined` ground and no- ticed where -truck had rst left track. A This was about underneath the last_ car as it stopped. `Saw. the impres~ sion of the ange on the ties. Where the truck appeared first to have left the track the ties were hardwood, but a coach length or two away the` ties were cedar. Could not say which car hadleft track first. .-Would judge that the` train was not going beyond the usual rate of speed. He would have expected to see the eng- ine farther away, had it been derail- ed first. It wouldibe three or four car lengths past the curve `where the first `-marks were noticed on the ties. If the accident had been due_to ex- cessive speed the train would have run off on the opposite side. ` E. Jr Benn of` the Allandale C\.A. was the next witness. He, too, `was a passenger on the ill-fated train. The first intimation. he had that something was wrong wasrthe sudden stopping and the. application of the emergency brake. Did not! seem` to be travelling at an excessive` speed. Much of his evidence corro- borated that of the previous .wit- TICSS. i- Arthur 4Meeking,' the engineer, (sworn) said that he took charge of- engine 1023 at Allandale at 5.35 _a.m. when they pulled out. `He had often had the same engine. Always exam- ined, an engine before setting out and this one was in good condition. His attention was rst arrested by a sudden jerk from behind, as if the tender had raised. He put on the emergency brake.. The engine seem- ed to be pulled off, but he could not swear positively that it `did not leave the rails- first. They were 40 min- utes late in leaving Allandale. 4He was not going beyond a speed of 35 or 4o.mi1es an hour at the time of the accident. _ Was just _emerging from the south end of the curve. Had frequently rounded this same curve safely at 50 miles an hour. Had gone southon the ` previous Monday on a faster train, No. 66.: He had noticed that new ties had} recently been put down. There was. nothing to indicate that any part of the train was out of order. He had had 26 years experience on the road. a nasty son was ient isvnt g1,'SS. JAPAN Ann Tm: A unmzn STATES. J. `R.

There were oak ties on the curve, and from this point onward the- ties were cedar with an: odd oak tie. The ties had been renewed recently, but not beyond the place of wreck. V Mr. H. H.

Mr.` Strafhy then asked Does the condition of the ties affect the safety `of a train going 40 miles arr hour? The witness would not say yes or no. He would say yes, if rotten. 1A good deal of fencing here result- led, Mr. Lynch~ protesting against mere hypothetical questions. He was prepared toanswer the question in the negative`, if it was understood that the track was in the same con_- dition as at the point of accident. Finally he said-I don t .know. . v--.-av: That is why, while we speak of the `yellow peril, Japanese orators "speak of the `white peril. That is why they are aiming China, helping to train her growing army. They. count. on China` to help them some day to repulse the " Russian invaders, knowing that for an indenite period China, herself, will never; single- handed, be a serious military rival. All this being so, you can count up- on it` that Japan is much more con- 'cernd,in* the _double-tracking of the Trans-Siberian than she is inithe ar- rival` of; the American eet. i And thenyou should never for- `get i that a war with the United States would ; mean, Japa.n s ruin.

He thought that the place where, the train was shown to }have left the rails disproved Mr. |Strathy s theory, as at this exact `point the ties were of hardwood. JUL IJLII (llllLA`l\.Gll_D 6&1 auuau.

The Japanese wish: at any price to be the leaders of Asia. To achieve this end, one thing is obviously nec- essary, the mastery of China. This being so, the most dangerous enemy of Japan to-day is Russia.
