Automatic

Beginning with the year 1880 the total
equipment for the period covered in the
summary was: 1889, 1,09S, 602; 1890,
LOO, SO7; 1891, 1,221 ,OS9; 1892, 1,24S,-
22S; 1893, 1,30S, 734; 1894, 1,313,5T0;
1895, 1,306,26O. The report of the COM
mission says: "The summary, which
shows the total equipment, as well as
the equipment fitted with train brakes
and automatic couplers for each of the
years from 1889 to 1895, inclusive, pre-
sents comprehensive statement of the
case. and gives definite answer to the
question which naturally arises respect
ing the law referred to. Out of a total
of 100000, only 1862, 49S locomotives
and cars were fitted with train brakes,
and t)S,S56 with automatic couplers.
The increase in equipment fitted with
train brakes during the year covered by
the report was 81 ,506, and the increase
in equipment fitted with automatic cou-
piers was 51,235. While those figures
are considerable in themselves, they do
not indicate a rate of improvement which
will satisfy the conditions of the law"

Criticise the Count.

The Reichsanzeiger of Berlin replies
to Prince Bismarck's organ, the Hambur-
ger Nachrichten, on the latest phase of
the dispute concerning the disclosure of
the Russo-German treaty Of 1SS4-90, say
ing: 1.-THE question of the period of time
required for secret diplomatic occurrences
to lose the character Of state secrets can
only be decided by the Statesmen in Office,
by virtue of their responsibility and spe-
cial knowledge of the political situation.
Any deviation from this principle would
expose the country's foreign policy to sur
prises and perturbation, and thereby en-
danger the interests of state. If Ger
many gave an unconditional promise to
keep secret the fact as well as the pur-
port Of the negotiations with Russia be-
fore 1890. the obligation Is still binding
upon all cognizant of the matter, and this
consideration also precludes the possibility
of discussing the essential points of the
negotiations"
