Head on Collision on Albany A Pathetic Incident. Twelve-year-old New Yorker Returns to His Home. Ogden, Utah, Mar 27.—The presidential train traversed the state of Nevada yesterday and reached Ogden at 0:30 o'clock last night. The route lay along the Hnmboldt river, through the Ruby and Waahata mountains, and then descended Into the Salt lake basin. During most of the day the elevation exceeded 5,000 feet, and snow clad peaks were continually In sight from the car windows. At this season of the year the ride across Nevada la exceedingly disagreeable. The heat Is oppressive, and the dust from the desert Is frequently blinding.

She was on the south bound car with her fiance, George C. Barry of Troy, and Mr. Barry's father. When the crash came, she was crushed to death alrnoBt Instantly. Near her, pinned In by the broken wreckage, lay her sweetheart. Frantically he tried to reach lier, his own agonies from Internal Injuries forgotten. Finding he could not move, he appealed to his father, who was extricating himself, but the girl was dead. On the way to the city In the car he pleaded with those attending him to let him die and Join his sweetheart. He will probably obtain his wish, for his Injuries are pronounced fatal.

New York, May 27.—There was a killing of the fatted calf last night In the home of Derwln. De Forrest of 229 West Eighty-third street, cashier of the Hoffman House. The occasion was the return of his 12-year-old son Cresson, who Ave weeks ago took It Into bis head to run away. Cresson has been across the continent and seen a lot of things. He got home yesterday afternoon from the PaclSc slope on money | sent him by his father. Peking, May 27.—The sudden determination of the Qermans to evacuate Peking has caused great surprise, and the motive of the move la unintelligible to the ordinary observer. Only a few regulations for the transfer of authority have been made, and greater confusion than now prevails la feared In many districts following the removal of the troops. Everything depends on the prompt action of Li Hung Chang as viceroy and Choufu aa lieutenant governor of the province. Fortunately for Mrs. McKlnley, one of those heavy rainstorms which ao rarely visit this region swept completely over the state during the night, laying the dust and tempering the atmosphere. Rain fell also several tlmea during the day. The weather seemed almost like a special Intervention of Providence for the benefit of the gentle sufferer. Mrs. McKlnley passed a comfortable night crosalng the Sierras. Dr. Rlxey reported that Mrs. McKlnley was standing the trip ve.y well. She suffered no inconvenience from rarefied atmosphere.

It is the first of what It was announced would be a system of electric lines connecting Albany with New York city. A large number of New York city financiers are Interested in It because of the vast possibilities of electric power generated at Stuyvesnnt falls, Columbia county, which It has been found contains sufficient power to operate electric railways for a radius of 100 miles.

His parents say that he was moved thereto by his friend Harry Ray, who is one year older. The two boys played hookey from school a few days, and then one day Cresson walked Into his own home and told Ills mother that be woa going round the corner on his bicycle. He went. At the request of LI Hong Chang General Reld consulted with Field Marshal Count von Walderaee In regard to three points contained In the Imperial telegram of April 27. Count von Walderaee agreed to evacuate as the court returned toward the capital, to permit armed police to oCevpy gradually the districts near Peking and to permit 3,000 of General Yuan Shih Kai's trustworthy troops to come to Peking to maintain order on the evacuation of the foreign troops.

The present circumstances were so exceptional that the president set aside his compunctions aa to Snnday travel, so that his wife might sooner reach home. The president and members of the cabinet kept quietly to their rooms the larger portion of the day. Once or twice when the train stopped for water they alighted to stretch their limbs. At Carlln early in the morning the president shook hands with some of the people who bad gathered there, among them a number of Digger Indians who live In the neighboring mountains.

When Cresson did not come home that night, Mr. De Forrest questioned some of his school friends and decided that Creadon had run away and had gone up thfe Hudson. So he telegraphed to the chief authority In every town and hamlet on that river and anywhere near It. But Creason bad shores more distant that the Hudson's In view. His father began to think this when he dropped into the savings bank where he had deposited a goodly sum for bis offspring's future welfare and found that $85 of It had been drawn out by the boy.
