The burning of swiftly moving passenger
train yesterday on a railroad near Bradford,
accident. There was oil on the track on a down
grade and the brakes would not hold. Sparks
from the engine set the oil on fire, and the fly
ing train wa assoon wrapped in flames. Presum-
ably the oil on the track was the result of
leakage from some of the many petroleum
trains which pass over the road daily. 1t is
difficult TO see what can be done to prevent the
repetition ofsuch an accident, short Of havingall
the down grades on railroads i'll the oil regions
under constant supervision.
NJ. Tricou, the Ambassador of the Republic at
Hue, the capital of Anam. seems to be diplo-
mat possessing moro shrewdness and tact than
many of the French emssaries have shown late
ly. At least he has apparently succeeded in
gaining the good will of the present government
at Hue, which was established by a revolution
based, so far as known, on hostility to the
French. The King hasreceived hlm with kind
ness and has expressed devotion to France, to-
gether with the hope that the severity of the
treaty stipulatiOns with the Republic will be
mitigated. All this seems to indicate that
French influence is again entirely inthe ascen-
dency in the Kingdom of Anan.
The farmers and dairymen who supply this
