New York. Aug. 29.-The directors of
the Atchison railway and the Pacific

is in this city but declines to give any
particulars of the conditions of the pro-
posed arrangement with the Pacific
Mail company or the likelihood of its
being put in force. 1t is understood,
however, says the Evening Post, that
there is every prospect of an acceptable
agreement being concluded which will
give the Atchison railway the facilities
it needs for developing its commerce
with Asiatic countries and which its
officers regard as seriously hampered
under its present contract for steam
ship service from California. particu-
larly with the new line into San Fran
cisco completed and in operation.

Used.

New York. Aug. 29.-Several marked
innovations are to be made in lawn
tennis next season. A new style of net
is to be used. the ball is to be slightly
changed and some of the rules will be
adapted to international conditions. At
the close of the all-co1ners' national
tournament at Newport DR.. James
Dwight, president of the United States
National Lawn Tennis association,
said:
THE English tennis players who
came over last year, while they did not
fully appreciate the conditions that
prevail in this country, were expert
critics and pointed out several defects
that are to be speedily remedied- The
white nets under the dazzling sunlight
they complained of and said it was i'm
possible to see the ball as it bounded
in the opposing court. New nets are 20
be used which are made of a fine light
brown Irvine. The top is a band of
white canvas. Such a net can easily be
seen through and does not dazzle the
vision of the contestants by its white
ness The new ball will be as hard as
the English one and the variation in
size and weight will be SO Slight that it
will not affect the play in any way"

Percentage of Persons Injured on
Railways Increasing.

The statistics of railway accidents in
this and in all other countries are appall-
ing every year, says the Railway Age.
Taken in the aggregate and without com
parisOn with the number of casualties
from other sources, they seem, at first
glance to prove the locomotive to be an
engine OF destruction more terrible than
war But when it is remembered that the
number of men engaged in operating the
railways of the United States is many
times greater than all the armies and ma
vies of the world. and that the number OF
passenger journeys in year in this
country alone is about half the number
of the entire population OF our globe, it
viii be seen that a great number of cas-
ualties is to be expected. The question
will be, is the number unreasOnably
large and may it be expected to decrease
or increased
The last statistics of the interstate COM
merce commission show that in the year
ended on June 90 1900. the railways in the
United States then aggregating 1913 900
miles. caused the death by accidents of
