THE LONDON WEEKLiES.
Not Generally So Friendly i'm Their
m on the Presidents
Messages as the DaiIies.

London, Dec. THE comment of
the weeklies on President R~oosevelt's
message to congress is not generally
so friendly as that of the dailies. The
Speaker devotes the entire space to
acrid comment on the trust refer
ences. The paper declares the pres
ident's treatment of a grave, econom-
ic situation is trivial in form and
unsatisfactory in substance, adding:
ibid we not entertain a genuine
belief in the goodness of the Presi-
dents intentions, we should regard
his diagnosis of the Industrial STU
alton as insincere."
The Speakers word picture of the
widespread ruin, corruption, econom-
ic tyranny and domestic affection
brewing over in America, as the re-
suit of trust domination, would be
a revelation to the most ardent anti
trust advocate in the United States.
The article concludes as follows:
"For such a student of industrial
politics, as Mr.. Roosevelt processes to
be, to ignore these conditions, is an
act of intellectual daring that does
him little credit. The upshot OF the
message is to minimize and misrep-
resent the dangers of trusts and to
postpone any serious attempt to
grapple with them"
The Saturday Review, on the other
hand, remarks:
"AIl industrial undertakings in the
United States are more scientifically
organized than in any other country
as we have learned to our cost. The
trust is the last word of this s.ys'
tenn of scientific organization, and the
president is right when he declines
to hamper the captains of industry.
Turning to the canal treaty, how
ever, the Saturday Review declares
Great Britain has sacrificed every
thing to gain the problematica
friend ship of the United States
(which will last just so long as i
takes America to build a fleet, ane
not q day beyond"
The Outlook is mildly commenda
tory of the message. 1t says:
"The anarchist programme /:
splendid in theory, but in practice /
Is impossible"
As regards reciprocity the Outlooi
remarks:
Cranky, selfish America will &C
cept freely whatever benefits herself
but will be careful that no infant in
dustry is squeezed out of the per
ambulator."

HUNGARY,s STORMY ELECTION
The Battle of the Ballots Is Made Ex-
treme1y Lively In the Land
of kOssuth.

A Vienna correspondent of the Lon
don Daily Mail says hat many curious
incidents, some comic n some
tragic, have characterized the Hun
garian general election. Hungary dur
ing the election resembles a vast 0at-
tlefeld. Tt is estimated that fully two
dozen lives have been lost and hum
dreds have been injured. AT Csarka

cellars, outhouses, stables and cattle
sheds till the polling was over.
A landowner named Mr.. Guensberg
was dragged from his carriage at
Raczalmas and beaten and stoned by

to kill all who refused with scythes,
with which they were armed. A mob

their chivalrous devotion to Queen

A ACCIDENT.
Engine and hire Cars 60 over o

High.

Vancouver. B. c., Dec. AT Sis
o'clock yesterday morning as a Ca
madam Pacific freight train was pro-
ceeding east at a slow rate of speed
around a dangerous curve. 400 feet
above the Fraser river, Engineer Ran
dali suddenly came upon a rock slide
scarcely so yards ahead of him. A
signal was given to the brakeman
and the engine vas reversed, too
late. The train was going scarcely
five miles an hour, but the heavy
train behind piled the engine on the
rocks, and before the engineer ana
fremen could jump the engine rolled
over and over 300 seet down the sheer
bluff toward the river. Engineer
Randall and Fireman Potruf were
crushed to death beneath the engine.
They were from Kamloops. Three
cars were wrecked, going over the
bank after the engine. Traffic was de-
layed six hours.

TIPS ON A TRIP TO MEXICO.
How to Dress and for the
lima of the Republic to
the South.

If you are going to make mountain
excursions in Mexico take rough and
warm clothing, and leggings, to be
used on horseback trips. Ii you are
intending to pass much time in the
cities, provide yourself with a dress
suit. The Mexicans are gay and hos
pitable and glad of the company OF
strangers who come properly intro
duced. You will thus be prepared for
the opera, which is a favorite amuse-
ment in the capital and for all social
functions, says the Detroit Journal.
The lowest temperature in the city
of Mexico is in the month of Deem
Der. The average of the thermometer
is then 53.4 of Fahrenheit. The high
est temperature is in May, 64.6, which
means a variation of about II de-
grees from summer to winter. The
evenings are always somewhat chilly,
in the rainy season damp, and there.

In other places in Mexico the tenn.
~perature is a little higher or a little
lower than in the city, according to
the altitude. Near the coast it is
much warmer; on the higher eleva'
tions it is colder.
On Mexico railways people make
themselves comfortable in the most
unconventional way. Smoking is Gus
tomary in all the cars. The ladies dc
not object. As a matter of fact many
of them set the example by lighting
cigarettes. The Mexican cigars are
famed for their mildness. Many
smokers think them superior tt
Havanas. They are certainly good
and cheap.
The great altitude of the Mexican
table lands affects newcomers. 1t pro
duces dizziness and faintness, espe
cially on making any exertion, a:
walking rapidly, or the like. The sys
tenn soon conforms to the change INT
after a few days %sojourn the rare
ness of the atmosphere tends toward

of the City of Mexico is nearly 5000

highest in the republic, though on

coed it.

WORK OF TRAIN wRECKERs.
Train Thrown from Track
but no One Killed.

Passenger Train InfO"h AEOA0 AAOS
but no One Killed.
Portland, Ore, Dec. THE east
bound passenger train, No. 2, on the
o. r. & N, which left this city at 3
a. m. yesterday, was wrecked II miles
east of The Dalles yesterday after
noon. The engine turned completely
over and the mail car left the track,
but only turned partly over. The COM
posite sleeper and diner left the
track, but remained upright. The
other cars, including a private car
containing Col. r. C. Clowry, general
superintendent of the Western Union
Telegraph Co., and party, remained
on the track.
Engineer Maurice Cavanaugh was
scalded and perhaps internally in
iured. Fireman Frank Chase was Sc
riously hurt. None of the passengers
were injured.
The wreck was undoubtedly the
work of train wreckers, as an ex-
animation showed that a rs inch
square nut had been placed ON the
outside rail of a three degree curve.
Another nut was also found on an
outside rail about 100 feet ahead OF
the first one.
Two men who have been at work
near The Dalles are suspected OF
wrecking the train, and the company
has offered 1000 reward for the ar
rest and conviction of the criminal.

MRS. SMITHS CARD PLATE.
How That Lady Exercised Her inge-
nuity to Turn Her Common Name
to some

ST have just discovered a new adj
vantage in the ownership of the name
Smith," said the talkative ~stationer,
according to the New York Times.
1.-THE gain derived from this possession
is particularly marked If the
happens to be John. And John Smiths
wife profits from the combination even
more than John himself.
sOne of my customers is Mrs. John
Smith. Mrs. Smith buys books and
magazines from me, and has all her
calling cards printed here. She has
been buying her cards al this store for
the past five years, and l thought L
knew her needs pretty well, conse-
quently I was surprised to notice,
about a year ago, that there was a
wonderful growth in the size of her
orders. Now, I know something about
this particular brand of John Smiths,
personally, and I was well aware that
the lady's visiting list, which had
never been large, had not been swelled
through the sudden acquisition OF
wealth or fame, yet here was Mrs.
Smith multiplying her supply of cards
by 25 in less than no time, and not a
thing to show rs for the sudden
rush of business.
"I bore my curiosity in silence for
some time, out one day, when Mrs.
Smith came in for a second time in
n week and duplicated an order for
1000 cards, 1 threw discretion and po-
| likeness to the winds and asked her
how she happened to be doing such a
land-ofice business in the calling line.
| She blushed a little and then said:
"'Oh, dear me! These cards are not
all for myself-not nearly all OF them.
I looked up a list of Mrs. John Smiths
in the directory, found those who were
then out of cards, and who had lost
their name plate or never had one en-
graved, and offered to let them have
the use of mine for a nominal sum.
This could be done easily enough, con-
| sidering I never had my address print
ed on my cards, and in cases where the
other Mrs. Smiths desired the omls-
sion I struck a bargain without any
trouble.
"eYousee,h having once ordered a Mrs.
John Smith plate from you. you run
off my cards at a very reasonable rate,
and / resell my cards to the rest of the
Mrs. John Smiths at ar advance of ten
cents per 100 cards. This saves them
the expense of a plate and brings me
in a little money besides. 1t is quite a
scheme.
"'Of course we couldn't work it il
we weren't all the wives of John Smith,
which makes the name something to
be desired, after all
"Mrs. Smith looked rather sheepish
when she finished her explanation. =
hope,' she added, with an apologize
little laugh, that I am not defraudine
you by pushing my plan with so much
energy
ST was, in truth, a little miffed al
the thought of all those plates L hao
been fooled out of making, but, in spite
of my chagrin, I brimmed over with
admiration for Mrs. Smith. Not at all,
said I. And I must confess that
though I AVE met a good many Smiths
in my time, for pure enterprise you gs
the whole family one better"
