HORSE STATISTICS.

A decrease of 1866 is noted in the
official returns of the number OF horses
in the United States as compared with
1892, though there is an increase marked
in thirty of the States. The average
value varies from $3.50 in New Mexico
to sos. 43 in Rhode Island. 1t is easy
to account for the exceedingly low val
uation In New Mexico, for there the
horse stock is little better than the
wild ponies of Old Mexico, but why
Rhode island should claim the highest
valuation is not so easily explained.
The official report attributes the decrease
TO the general Introduction of electricity
as motive power in cities, and predicts
that there will not be again as many
horses in the United States as there
were on January l, 1893. History
would not seem to bear out this asser-
ton. When steam first took the place
of the stage coach ii was said by the
wiseacres Of that day that the horse
would soon become a thing of the past
anu HOIse-DTeeueIS Do uoPiiNSu VI tiSi
industry. Instead, more horses have
been used every season since then, and,
while it is true that for street-cars and
one or two other purposes electricity
can and possibly will take the place of
horses, no invention will ever be per-
fected which will materially affect the
number of horses in daily use.-[ Ex-

people of this country watching the
great strike of railway employees The
comparison is not inappropriate A
little more bad blood. a little more in

there have been numerous personal
encoun tiers, and yesterday at Chicago
federal authority was de6ed and
blood shed was narrowly averted.
The condition is feverish- Further
strain is likely to result very seriously
On the other hand there are CON
slant rumors of arbitra ton and peace

realize that nothing IS to be gained
by radical action and seem disposed TO
conservatism But despite all over
lures toward an AMIGA bic adjustment
of differences the situation was not
improved last night. From the head
quarters of the railway managers in
Chicago it was said the crucial point
would be raised within twenty four
hours from midnight but all during
the day there came reports OF trains

practically paralyzed throughout the
Western and Middle states, and all

it has been shown. in many Instances,

in the leading part. The critics were
very severe on the production. and Mr.
Buchanan, in turn, was very severe ON
the critics, but the public would not
accept the play.
Mr.. Buchanan has turned out a large
number Of plays during the past 10
years, and most of them have been fail
ures, partial or complete. He has scored
a few successes, however, notably
'tAlone In London, - a melodrama well
known in this country, and Sophia, 80
a play founded on Fielding's ''Tom
JONES' which ran for several hundred
nights at the Vaudeville.
Robert William Buchanan was born
in Staffordshire, England, in August,
1871. His father was first a socialist
missionary and afterward proprietor of
a newspaper in Glasgow. Robert was
educated at the high school of Glasgow
and Glasgow university and in his ia
theirs newspaper Office. In 1851 he
went to London and secured employ
ment on the newspapers, and his pen
has been busy ever since. His first
volume of poems, 'tUndertones, APP
peared in 1860 and was followed by
others in rapid succession, which soon
established his reputation as lone of the
minor choristers Of Victorian song.
His first novel, The Shadow Of the
Sword, - appeared in 1876, and the list
of stories which followed it is too long
to here enumerate.
It is safe to predict that Mr.. Buchan-

as versatile and his mind as vigorous as
ever, and his is a spirit that cannot be

BUCHANAN A BANKRUPT.

His Books Have Been Successful, but EIfs
Plays Were Uniformly Improbable.
Bankrupt authors are no novelty in
London, but when q man like Robert
Buchanan, who has been for 30 years a
popular poet. for IS years a successful
novelist and for 10 years a professional
playwright, becomes insolvent it causes
special wonder. Mr. Buchanan Is an
unusually gifted man, and his literary
work, which has been prodigious in
volume and uniformly good in quality,
has been quite profitable.
His plays, however, have been less
successful, and his recent appearance in
the bankruptcy court is probably due to
i'll considered dallying with the drama.
Our London dispatches attribute it part
ly to the failure of the play "A Social
Butterfly, - which he wrote in collabora-
ton with David Christie Murray, and
which was lately produced at the Lon
