WILL SAVE MANY LIVES.
Law Compelling Automatic Car Coup
lers Now Effective.

Law competing AUTOMATIC Nar coup"
lers Now Effective.
\ national statute that will result in n
great saving of human fife became effec-
tive on the morning of Aug. /. II is the
law providing that all railway cars en-
gagged in interstate traffic shall be fitted
with automatic couplers and air brakes.
Hereafter any railway company that
uses a car not thus fitted will be liable to
a fine of 500 for each offense.
For years the labor people haSe fought
for this law. The number OF accidents
on the different lines. due to the lack Of
the coupler, We're becoming appalling. In
its annual reports the interstate COM
merce commission advocated its passage.
An average of 80 employees were killed
annually while coupling cars, while those
injured in the performance OF that duty
averaged $500 yearly
Outside of the accidents to employees
the coupler and brake also affected the
general travelling public, for had they
been in use ii is believed that many dis.
asters would have icen avertcd. When
it is shown that in the last ten years the
railway accidents in the United States
have injured from 10000 to $4,000 an.
nually and that the deaths which result.
cd numbered from 5000 to 5000 year
it can easily be seen what effect the brake
and coupler might have had in preventing
the horrors and preserving life.
The first hill for the automatic coup
Ter and brake was passed March =. 1893
This. however. was several times amend.
ed. in accord with the views of the labor
organizations. and row the act has be.
come operative.
Since the passage OF the law the inter
state commerce commission has given the
railroads two extensions of time in which
to comply with its provisions The first
extension was for one year, and the last,
granted last December, was for six
months. The cost OF compliance with the
law has been enormous.

DIR. Robert Coltman, Jr., the staff COR
respondent Of the Chicago Record in Pc
kin, who had not been heard from since
June IL, sends the following dispatch
from Pekn under date of July 21:
Baron Won Ketteler. the German min
lister, was murdered by Chinese troops,
and his secretary wounded June 20, while
on his way to the Tsung-li-Y amen. The
foreign residents are besieged in the
British legation, and have been under a
daily fire from artillery and rifles. The
cowardice of the Chinese fortunately pre-
vented them from making successful
seventy wounded. The Chinese losses ex-
coed 1000.
There has been no word from the out
side world. Food is plentiful. such as it

by Yung Lu asking il Sir Claude Mac
donald. the British minister. would con-
sent to a truce. The minister replied he
was willing. provided the Chinese came
no closer. The she'll firing then ceased
and everything is now quiet. We hope
that, having defeated the Chinese, relief
is nearing us. We are all exhausted with
constant standing on guard, fighting.

both night and day.
"All the legations except the British

sortie on the night of July 3, Capt. Myers
succeeded in driving back the Kansuh

that treachery is possible when the de-

Meanwhile we are living in intense anx-
iety and hoping for early relief"

China for his rescue. 1t will not make
any agreement or condition regarding his
rescue.
Numerous communications from Chin
Csc officials have been received Mt the
State Department suggesting that the
allies shall hc kept at IiHnrsin in order
that China MAY be able to protect the
ministers from further attack. The lntl-
nation has clearly been that an attack
upon Pekin will be followed 10y gem
eral massacre. The Government has re-
piled TO these intimations that it cannot
take them into consideration. 1t has
lodged with China demand for free in
tercourse with its minister. That must
he granted without condition. There will
Ice ne change. it Is asserted. IN the policy
of this Government toward China. but
China must carry cut her treaty obliga-
tions.
The President will not recall the troops
now in China NOR check their march ON
the Chinese capital. says Washington
correspondent. They will move forward
ia the rescue OF Minister Conger and 9th
OF Americans in peIlin. The condition
of the Chinese capital as reported by
Munster Conger will he the Presidents
ouly guide In future directions given to
Gen. Chaffee. There is no hope that these
conditions will appear more favorable
than they now do.
The Government. from the information
in it's possession, believes that the I'M
perial troops have attacked the foreign
legations. 1t further believes that Prince
Than. the father OF the heir apparent
has directed the hostile demonstrations.
Whatever the purpose of these attacks.
they were hostile TO this Government.
1t is reported from Shanghai that fifty
missionaries have been massacred in the
Shan 81 province. According to dis
patch from Tien-Tsin. under date OF sun
day. the Japanese vanguard has been re-
uulscd with Il loss OF $50 killed and
wounded,
The Chinese fortress at Hung Hun
was stormed by the Russians under Gen.
Aiyustoff July 80, thus relieving the posts
of Novokijevskoje and Postja. threaten
ed by the Hung Hun garrison. Many
guns were taken.
The Typographical features of the coun-
try between Tien-Tsin and pekin are
favorable to the operations of trained
troops against such masses ms the Chm
csc might collect to oppose them. The
land is low and nearly fiat. and the only
difficulties in the way of transportation
are the streams and the semi-swampy
character OF the soil. 1t is reported that
the Chinese have prepared dams that will
enahlg them to flood the country. but IT
is improbable that much could have been
done to make these works effective. A
movement up the Pei-Ho river might
even be aided by torpedo boats.
