Washington, June 10.—In reply to the formal letter written by President Roosevelt to Chairman Wadsworth of the house committee on agriculture, disapproving of that committee's substitute for the Beveridge amendment to the agricultural bill regarding the Inspection of meat products, Mr. Wadsworth sent to the president a letter which is in part as follows: Pressed by the court for u reply, Dowie said: St. Petersburg, June  to reports received here from Blalystok, the attacks 011 the Jewish quarter continue, Jews tiring from the windows of their houses, thn soldiers answering with volleys, crowds of peasants, armed with dubs and scythes, pillaging and beating Jews and cavalry patrols hunting down pillagers.

During Itegent Luitpold's recent visit to Vienna he participated In a discussion in court circles as to the advisability of ending the ubsurdity of Buvoria being ruled in the nuiue of an insane sovereign. Prince Lultpold, It is understood, was assured that both the German and the Austrian court circles approved the plan of making him king. A change In the Bavarian constitution, however, would be necessary before this could be done, and it is doubtful If the diet will assent to the project.

It Is said that if congress had sent a measjii't? to . .President ltoosevelt providing for tiie construction of a sea level canal on the Isthmus of Panama he would have vetoed It. A serious wryftk occurred yesterday afternoon on the-Lrhtgh Valley railroad at Rummerfield, Bradford county. The east bound Black Diamond Express train was in a rear-end collision with a freight train. The express train locomotive was badly damaged, the engineer of the express was seriously injured, and several freight cars were smashed. Both tracks were blocked and traffic was delayed tlu-ougliout the evening. The people of Pittston have had many opportunities to become acquainted with the met'hods of the Bell Telephone people. But the company does not own all the town, not quite. When it put the screws on the physjciuns of Pittston and vicinity It little realized fhe hornet's nest is was stirring, and now that the hornets are getting busy the telephone company Is making every possible effort to back down gracefully and save its face. Many phones of the rival company are being put in lately. In vain the Bell Telephone company by adroit diplomacy endeavored to break up the doctors' unanimity and get In an entering wedge somewhere. The doctors stood as a unit. Then various sugar-coated compromises skillfully worded were held out. Now, physicians are as a class able to understand plain English and also able to smell a rat. Ilence the following statement given out after last night's meeting: OLD TELEPHONES NOT TO HE "Therefore In at least one of the two criticising you make of the bill you rnuit admit that you are absolutely wrong.

The bill appropriating $25,000,000 to continue the construction of the Panama canal, providing that no part of that sum be used In the construction of a sea level canal, was passed with tli« approval of the president.

Jew6 Blamed For Bomb Throwing. According to tfie information obtainable, the attacks 011 the Jews were provoked by the throwing of a bomb Into the Corpus Christ! procession, seriously wounding u priest, Father Fedoroff, who was at the head of the procession and several of his assistants. Although the Identity of the bomb thrower wns not known the responsibility was at once placed 011 the Jews. A mob quickly formed and for several hours ravaged the Jewish quarter— Novo-Schosseina, Lipova, Memietzka and Alexundrov streets—pillaging the shops and hunting down iind beating their occupants. For hours the bodies of the dead and wounded lay uncared for in the streets. Many Jews coucoaled themselves In cellars and attics, while others fled from the city. There in a long siding at the point where the accldhnt occurred,  east bound freight- train had been ordered to take the siding, to make way for the Black Diamond to pass it. For some reason the freight did not get into the siding as quickly as it should have done, and when the express came along several of the freight cars and caboose were still sticking out on the main track. $10,000,000 Loan For Frisco.

Lester of Georgia was seriously and probably fatally Injured by falling through the skylight of the apartment house where he has rooms. Mr. Lester had gone to the roof of the building to look for his two young grandchildren and apparently missed his footing, falling through the skylight, about thirty feet, to the eleventh floor. In the fall he sustained Internal injuries, and both legs were broken. He is sixty-eight years old. The caboose of the freight train was fortunately vacant. Hail any of the trainmen been In It they would surely have been killed. The caboose was completely crushed. The locomotive of the express ploughed through the wreckage and ran Into several cars laden with steel bridge girders. These heavy girders In turn did considerable damage to the front of the locomotive. The engineer of the express train was Henry Smlthkors, of Wilkesbarre, and thCk fireman Charles Marth, of Upper Pittston. Th»' engineer was seriously injured. His shoulder was either dislocated or fractured, and he Was removed to the Packer hospital, at Sayre. Fireman Marth escaped very fortunately without being Injured.

He had the disagreeable Job done as soon as he struck the city and then he had two teeth tilled.

A wrecking crew was sent down from Sayre and the work of clearing away the wreckage was pushed with all possible speed. However, trains In both directions were delayed for about four hours. It was necessary to send another locomotive from Sayre to take the Black Diamond eastward. Alderman Louis Smith performed a piece of work yesterday that had been turned down as beyond them by several city aldermen. This, considering the fact that Mr. Smith Is the newest alderman in business here, Is quite a distinction. The business was to certify a German legal document that was brought to him by a farmer. It was issued In Germany and did not contain a word of English. The alderman summoned his knowledge of the mother tongue to his assistance and had no trouble in doing the required business.

The strikers said this morning that the work was being done with the assistance of engine hostlers and other subordinate employes about the shops.

They did not demand any Increase /Df pay, but objected to being compelled to go to the ash track and the pump with engines.
