CRUEL RAILWAYS IN RUS STA.
They Kill Ten Times More People than
those of Any Other Country.

1t appears from railway statistics,
recently given to the public In Russia,
that the Russian railways kill ten
times more persons each year than do
those of any other country. BY similar
statistics printed some years back the
United States led the other countries in
this respect, but since 1893 Russia has
had the bad pre-emlnence of leading
the world as respects the numbers kill
ed yearly in proportion to the numbers
carried on its railways. Out of 50O,OOO,-
600 passengers on the American rail
ways the fatalities are $500, including
employees; while out of 52,OO0,000 pas
sengers on the Russian railways the ia
talities are g. 107. Including the Siberian
railway Russia's mileage is about &c.
600 miles, while that of the United
States Is about 1S6,000 miles.
The United States commercial agent
in Vladivostock reports to the State De-
partment that experiments have been
made on the st. Petersburg and War
saw road with an invention designed to
give warning and lessen the deadly
effects Of railroad collisions. Two
wrecking railroads were provided; on
the first the sleepers were displaced, on
the second the rails were displaced In
both cases the stoppage was immedi-
ate by the aid of this device, without
outside help and without injury to the
moving trains. The essential feature
of the invention is an iron tube, Of
usual construction, connected with the
general system of brakes and placed In
front Of the wheels. At the least ir-
regularity in the movement of the train
the tube, in consequence of certain cuts
made on 1t at intervals, breaks, and
thus produces the immediate stoppage
of the train, locomotive as well.

1T hasn't had that effect. He isn't OF

though his build is so slight that one
would not suspect him of strength.
He's gaining in firmness and quickness

that her conscience doesn't trouble her

crimes, she thinks, Is 10 turn "a girl-boy

French capital, as elsewhere, the cen

as French telephone users alleged, mis-
managed-by women But when busy
men have called up other firms and Of

the conversational tendencies of the

to the hop. So she went ovt. with
Burton, and gave him one-third of her
dances. Greville had another third,
and the rest were open to the post at
large.
Greville did not look happy at all. 1t
was not the target record he minded.
He never thought about that 1t was
having to go down the rd-wall TO
the hop-room behind Burton, and to
watch Miss MivaW leaning on his arm
and looking up into his face from under
the white mists of her lace hood. He
was not cOnsoled at all when she look
ed up into his own face even more
sweetly at the beginning of the second
dance, and whispered that she was 80
sorry"
Now rs the second dance had been
Greville'S the third was Burton's. That
was the way it had been arranged. AS
the band began the waltz, Miss Mivart
stood beside Greville in the center of
quite group. The commanding Off
Ger was in the group, so was Burton's
captain, and SO was the adiutant.
There were some others as well, and
also some women. Miss Mivart may
have chosen that position, or it may
simply have happened so.

umphantly.
But Miss Mivart did not heed him at
once. She was telling them all how
she had learned to shoot carbne as
well as any one, and they, the men, at
any rate, were hanging on her words.
MIR. Greville taught me-" she said,
"and so did Mr.. Burton" This was
the first either had known OF the 9TH
er's part in it, and they exchanged Il
look.) ''They taught me with their own
carbines, too. The very same ones
they used themselves in the competi-
ton. But shot best with Mr.. Burton's
carbine. He must have fiXel his rrig-
ger to pull more easily; it WAS almost
like, what do you call it, hair-trig-
ger?'
She looked about for an answer, and
saw on their faces stare Of stony hor-
ror and surprise. They had moved a
little away from Burton, and the com
manding officers steely eyes were on
his face. The face had turned white
even with the sunburn, and Burton's
voice was just trife unsteady as he
spoke.
"This is our dance. think, Miss Mi
vart," he said.
The innocent, round, blue orbs looked
just a little coldly into his. NO" she
told him, IL think you are mistaken. 1t

Expressing His Disgust.

Probably most writer's of serial
stories are familiar with the sensation
Of receiving letters of commentator
or disapproval from interested readers
who are following up the stories as
they appear in their regular weekly or
monthly installments. Occasionally
some curious person asks for private in
formation as to what the outcome is
to be, while others offer suggestions as
to the disposition to be made Of the
villain, or express a fear that the au-
thor intends to marry the hero to the
wrong woman.
The writer of a serial story in one of
the popular magazines few years ago
received the following letter from an
indignant reader. The names are
changed for obvious reasons:
Dear Sir: l take the liberty of tell
ing you that l regard your Simeon
Stacy now running through the Blank
Magazine, as little the thinnest novel
l have ever read. Furthermore, the
principal character In the story, to
whom you give the title role. so to
speak, is so thoroughly detestable

contempt for him by changing my
name-which happened to be the same
as his-to something as unlike it az
possible. Yours truly,

ECONOMIC sHIPBUILDING.

Seattle Post-IntelIigencer.
The opponents Of subsidies for Amer
ican ships and legislative encourage
ment for American shipbuldlng have
a stock argument which is being work
ed thoroughly. They point out that
American manufacturers are UNDER
selling those of Europe in certain de-
partments Of the steel and iron indus
try; that American locomotives, Amer
lean bridges and American agricultural
machinery are competing on even
terms with those Of all the world; and
consequently, they say, no reason ex-
ISIS why ships cannot be built as
eheaply in the United States as else
where. No reason, consequently, exists
for legislative encouragement 10 an
industry which ought to be able to
stand alone.
II is. Of course, sufficient answer to
say that the existing facts contradict
the theories; that the American ship
building industry does not compete at
present with that Of Great Britain, or
even Of Germany. The existing fact Is
a natural Offset to the closet theory.
The reasons why the American ship
builder cannot compete at present, and
why competition would be difficult,

The Washington correspondent Of the
Brooklyn Standard Union says at q
recent meeting OF the senate commit
tee on commerce the ship subsidy bill
was mentioned, and Senator Berry OF
Arkansas said casually that he sup
posed nothing would be done with Il
at this session. Thereupon Senator's
Hanna and Frye notified him that It
was the intention OF the republicans
to push that bill so as to make It the
unfinished business Of the senate after
the Philippine bill was out Of the way.
They emphatically stated It to be the
republican intention to pass that bill
through the senate at the present ses-
sion. Senator Berry then went into
the senate and discussed the matter
with Senator Jones OF Arkansas. An
informal conference was held and the
democrats determined to object to any
unanimous agreement fixing a day for
a vote upon the Philippine bill. The
object was to prevent the consldera-
ton Of the ship subsidy bill. This in
formation stupehed the republicans for
a while. After the motion Of Senator
Carter to take up the Alaskan bill had
been defeated by the narrow majority
OF two through the opposition Of the
friends OF the Philippine bill, It was
determined. In view OF the tactics
adopted by the democrats to move as
soon as opportunity for the consider
alton Of the Alaskan bill. despite the
fact that this motion. which would
be carried by the solid republican vote,
would displace the Philippine bill.
That might seem, at first. to be making
the passage Of the Philippine bin i'm
possible, but the republicans had no
such Intention. They had, as a Tart Of
their plan Of campaign. determined to
place the Philippine bill as a rider or
amendment TO the military appropria-
ton bill With their big majority this
can be done easily. and as the appro-
priation bill must pass, the Philippine
bill will thus be passed and put out Of
the way Of the ship subsidy bill, which
wili BY vote Of the senate be made
the unfinished business after the mill
tsry bin IL out Of the way. Thus they
propose 70 Outhank the democrats. and
it remains % Be seen If the democrats
by some other parliamentary maneuver
can prevent their trenches from being
carried BY the superior numbers Of the
republicans. The tactics pursued by
both parties were very ingenious.
