Coffin Wants All Cars Equipped
With Safety Appliances.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 14.-The
senate interstate commerce committee
to-day continued the hearing upon bills
relating to the equipment of freight
cars used in interstate traffic with
power brakes and auto-couplers. L. S.
Coffin, ex-railroad commissioner of
Iowa and author Of one of the bills,
stated to the committee that he repre-
seDted the brotherhood OF locomotive
engineers, firemen and trainmen, $4,000
organized railroad employees. in his eff
forts to secure this legislation. In an
swer to the argument of the railroad Of
ficials that the proposed legislation was
unnecessary, MIR. Coffin asked when did
railroad officials ever consider necessary,
legislation affecting their interests in
any respect? They did not want the
precedent established; they had no OBJ
lection to the legislation per Sc. Legis-
lation was necessary to compel the
laggards in railroad management to
keep pace with their competitors. Mr..
Coffin did not believe there was any
road in the country so poor that it could
not provide these safety appliances.
All that is asked is in the future rail
road companies shall finish their cars
before they put them into use. Stop
this thing of making cars four-lifthS of
iron and wood and one-Gfth of the flesh
and blood of tralnmen.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The Chinese
minister has sent instructions to the
consul general of China in San Fran
cisco to issue a proclamation in the
Chinese language explaining the objects
of the United States census, and advls-
ing the Chinese to give freely the lnfor-

call. This action was taken in order
that the Chinese residents of the cOun-
try may understand what the domicili-
ary visits of the census enumerators
mean, so that the means of collecting
the desired information may be facili-
tated. The official sanction which this
proclamation will give the census work
among the Chinese will be of material
advantage in removing prejudices and
in uuieting the suspicious with which
many of the Chinese regard anything

to die any moment. No cause is as,
signed for the act except that he had
considerable family troubles of late;
About ten days ago Lutes' wife h ad
