were killed and 23,422 were injured, as
compared with 2727 killed and 81, 179 in
iured in 1898. This marked decrease in
casualty is partly due, the report says, to
the decrease in the number of men en-
ployed and the decrease in the volume of
business handled. The increase in the
use OF automatic appliances on railway
equipment also may have rendered railway
employment less dangerous.
The number of passengers killed was 324,
an increase of IS, and the number injured
was 1904, a decrease of 1876.
TO show the ratio of casualty it may be
stated that one employe was killed out of
every 42S in service and one injured out of
every 80 employed.
In concluding the report the statistician
renews the recommendations made in pre-
vious reports in regard to the desirability
of requiring all the reports from express
companies, corporations and persons own
ing rolling stock used in interstate COM
merce; corporations, companies and per-
sons owning depot property, stockyards
and elevators used by interstate carriers,
and from carriers on waterways that
compete with railways for traffic.
Reference is also made to the question
of requiring the railways to report freight
earnings by commodities. On account of
the present depressed financial condition
of railways it has been decided to let this
matter rest another year, although there
is no question as to the desirability of such
reports.

CORNELL MEN ARE ANGRY,
DiSpleased at an English
Papers Accusation of
lmmodeSty.
Britishers Shocked at the Low Gu
of the American OarSmen's
Jerseys.

LONDON, Eng, June 16.-The Cornell
oarsmen at Henley and their friends are
very indignant over a criticism of their
costume which appears in Field and which
seems to reflect upon the modesty and
propriety of the costume. The article be-
gins by saying they appear in sleeveless
jerseys, cut very low, adding that they will
do well to abandon these garments imme-
diately, as they cannot be worn at the re-
gatta under the rules and are considered
unsightly in this country.
The article then goes on to say that the
Cornell style of rowing is quite opposite to
what is considered correct by English au-
thorities and shows no improvement upon
that of previous crews from America. Re
ferring to Wednesdays spin with the
Henley Rowing Club scratch crew, Field
says that the Cornell men did not acquit
themselves well and went all to pieces at
one time and became very ragged.
What the Cornell men object to is that
the writer of the article was introduced to
them by a representative of the United
Press and was shown every courtesy. He
knew all the circumstances under which
the spin with the Henley crew was ar
ranged. As he was rowing with scratch
crew Coach Courtney purposeiy, to even
things up, put four substitutes in the Cor
nell boat and they had no difficulty in get
ting away from their opponents. They did
not go to pieces.
The matter of their jerseys was also ex-
planned to the Field man. All have worn
regular Henley jerseys throughout their
practice period, except two, who are having
theirs retitted.
English opinion at Henley increases
against the chances of the Cornell men.
Their stroke is unfavorably commented
upon on all sides. One of the officials of
the regatta said to representative of the
Associated Press:
''As man who has seen the crews here
year after year 1 tell you they have not a

LYING At DEATHS DOOR,
Joseph Macdonough, the Mil
lionaire, Expected to Pass
Away Soon.
His Malady Is Bright's Disease OF
the Kidneys = Sketch of an
Eventful Career.

Joseph Marlborough, the well-known
millionaire, is lying at the point OF death
at DR.. Rosenstirn's hospital on Suffer
not live more than few days, despite the
fact that everything is being done to the
uttermost limit of medical skill to prolong
his existence. The dying man is suffering
from Bright's disease of the kidneys in the
last stage, and he is unconscious the greater
part of the time.
A cable dispatch has been sent to his
son, Joseph w. Macdonough, who is now
in Japan. and his daughter, Mrs. gar, of
New York, is already on the way here.
The second son, William O'Brien Mac
donough, is in attendance upon his father
constantly.
Mr.. Macdonough's life has been of event
full interest from the fact that since start
ing out as boy he has been the founder
of his own fortunes, and in being such he
has passed through more than falls to the
lot of the ordinary man. He was born in
Galway, Ireland. sixty-three years ago,
and came to America with his parents
for California, reaching here in the midst OF
the gold excitement. In short time he
had accumulated what was at that time
considered a fortune-about $4,000. He
then left for Mexico and Central America,
and afterwaTd returned to New York to
bark in business. 1t was here that he
met with reverses and lost all his wealth.
Soon after the civil war broke out and Mr..
Macdonough enlisted in the Sixty-third
New York Regiment, which won such a
record for itself in the battles OF the war.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-17

He rose to the rank of captain of the COM
pany and saw service in some of the most
hotly contested battles. At Gettysburg he
was severely wounded.
1t was in 1870 that he again set out for
California, and it was here he made his
second start in life He married Miss
O'Brien, the sister of William S. O'Brien,
member of the bonanza firm. He en-
gagged in the coal and iron business, and
from the start was successful in accumu-
lating wealth. His capital was augmented
by 100000 when Mr.. O'Brien died and he
broadened the field of his operations. His
money was invested in real estate and he
selected some excellent locations. Among
his property interests are the Marlborough
Iheater in Oakland, a lot on Turk and
Taylor streets, on Mason and Turk streets,
two pieces on Market street, several lots on
Mission and the property on Folsom and
Spear streets where his coalyards are
located.
DR.. Rosenstirn, while giving no hope OF
Mr.. Macdonough's recovery, thinks that
there is chance for his life being pro-
longed until the time of his daughter
arrival from New York.

CYCLE RECORD BROKEN.
Some Splendid Runs Are Made by the
California Cycling Club.

California Cycling Club.
The fve-mile record was broken at the
road race of the California Cycling Club on
the San Mateo-San Carlos course yester-
day.
The race was one of the most interesting
of the season and, considering the records
made, the most important. A large rep
resentation of the club was present and all
the wheelmen were in good trim. Specta-
tors were also numerous and encouraged
the record breakers to put forth their best
efforts.
The handicap was satisfactory. Several
of those who started ninth, tenth and
eleventh finished near the top of the list.
The contestants, with their positions and
times, were as follows:
H. Klaunberg, position 10 at the finish, time
G. J. Vermeid, position 10, time HAT; A. Z.
Nelson, position 3, time 1916; G. w. Thomas,
position 5, time l3 80; A. w. Green, position
w. Strahle, position 6, time 40; j. Wall,
position l, time 12:32; H. A: Friedlander,
position Il, time 1924; C. Birdsall, position
II AZ 10; A. Thiesen, position q, time ID AZ;
d. Iceberg, position 4, time 1888; F. Struven,
-, time 1915; P. Alexander, position 10, time
II 03; j. w. Harvey, position Is, time II :53.
2. Alexander's time of 12:03 breaks the
tiye-mile record of the coast, and won the
first prize of SIS medal.
Wall won the medal for first place at the
finish and also the prize for the second
best time. There were several other prizes
awarded, consisting of sweaters, bicycle
suits and various other articles useful to
wheelmen. The race was great success.

ager of the Stearns bicycles, says in the
Newspaper Maker that next year, after the

instead of in the monthlies as now. The
daily paper is the paper of the present.

PLETHORA OF MONEY.
1t May Induce the Bank of England t.
Reduce Its Rate.

1t Mag Induce the Bank of England to
Reduce Its Rate.
LONDON, ENG, June 16.-The rumor
that the Bank of England contemplated
reducing its rate to IL per cent probably
originated in the decision of the Joint
stock banks to reduce the scale for deposits
at short notice from "a to u per cent.
With consols at nearly 10Y, unless some
thing happens to relieve the plethora of
the money market the Bank of England
directors will eventually be forced to take
such steps.
The stock market resumed fair activity
during the week, speculation in both Eng
fish and continental securities being re-
vived. In African mines the movements
of the week were mostly upward. Spanish
securities were heavily sold on the strength
of the Cuban trouble. In Canadians and
Argentines all good investments were
better.
Americans were firm, except those
threatened with assessments. Rumors
that the Northern Pacific would be assessed
$15 a share caused the stock to be freely
offered. Following are the advances on
the week:

son, Lake Shore, Reading frsts and

were fractional, except Erie, Norfolk and
