NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
RIdleulous Farm. Area Stsiistles.

The Census Bureau is keenly alive to
the importance OF the serious charges
of gross inaccuracy of its statistical re-
ports made by an investigating COM
mittee of the National Board OF Trade.
Mr.. Hart Mommsen, the expert chief OF
the division of agriculture of the bureau,
promises an elaborate report in answer
to the disclosures made bv the Board
of Trade. but he contents himself for
the present with the following state
ment:
This apparent variance between the
census figures and the areas of the
counties indicated requires detailed cx-
planation which cannot be made in a
few words. 1t is due chiefly to error
on the part of the farmowners and op-
orators, and not to the inaccuracy i'll
the Census Bureau.
Many farms are of such extent--as
i'll Texas, for example, where single op-
orators work half county each--that
accurate statements as to the property
owned are impossible to get Many
farms overlaD from the county to an
other, and are reported to the enumer-
ators in both counties.
Many other difficulties arise in the
course of sueh an enumeration as this,
which cannot be so easily set forth"

"sELF.HypNorlsM" OF A CHILD.
Fire Didn't Burn Her, But Ska Peeled OF As
II Blistered.

Philadelphia (SpeciaD An extraor-
dinary case OF "seli-hypnotism," as
some physicians have termed the NAL
ady, has just been cured by specialists
in skin diseases at the Polytechnic Hos
pital.
Little Rosa Hurwitz, 63o Redman
street. was able to go to school after
suffering FIVE weeks from the effects OF
a fire which did not burn her, but
which frightened her so badly that the
skin peeled off her entire body as il
she had been actually blistered.
Rosa's mother believes that the
Fright came out through the skin. y
This explanation is not in accord with
the views OF celebrated specialists.
The fright affected the child's
nerves, and the consequence was a
peeling off OF the cuticlc, but what
nerves were affected and how is more
than we can say" said professor at
the Polyclinic. The childs body re-
sembled in a measure the body OF a
person who had been severely burned,
but the pain and exhaustion were not
so great. just what the physiological
action was we cannot explain"

Admit Uniformity Of Rates.

Answers of the Lehigh Valley Rail
road Company, the Delaware and Hud-
son Company. the Erie Railroad Com
pany and the New York, Susquehanna
and Western Railroad Company to
the complaint of W. r. Hearst, of New
York, who charges discrimination on
the part OF the coal-carrying roads in
favor OF anthracite coal operators, were
received by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
In a general way the roads question
Mr.. Hearsts interest in the matter,
contending that he has not been injur-
ed, nor has he authority to present
his petition on behalf OF so-called in
dependent producers OF anthracite.
There is no denial OF uniform sched-
ule OF rates. but it is contended that
any uniformity OF rates for anthracite
coal transportation by the various car
riers has been the natural and in
evitable result of competitive conditions,
which require i'll the case OF anthracite
coal, as with other commodities, that
traffic OF the same character from the
same or competing localities be car
ried at substantially the same rates by
competing carriers"

The Life. Saving Service.

The General Superintendent Of the
Life-Saving Service has rendered his re-
port for the year 1902. 1t continues to
show most gratifying results of the work
OF this humane organization.
The number of disasters to vessels
within the scope of the operations OF the
service during the last year was greater
than ever before. with the exception of
the years 1893 and 1901, yet the loss OF
life was very small The number OF lives
lost from documented vessels-those OF
FIVE tons burden or over--was only 10,
while 8 were lost from smaller craft
sailboats, rowboats, etc.-making a total
of rs, number far below the average.
The amount of property imperiled
was greatly in excess of that of any
previous year in the history of the SER
vice, owing to the unusual number Of
large vessels involved. No less than 81
vessels. of over 1000 tons burden-of
which number 80 were steamers-suf-
fered disaster The loss of property,
however, was comparatively light.

Berlin (By Gable The first assump-
ton that Herr Krupp, the great gun
maker, whose death was recorded Sat
urday, committed suicide is yielding to
precise and abundant testimony to the
contrary Professor Binswanger,
physician OF the highest reputation, was
in the apartment adjoining Herr
Krupp's sleeping room when he was
stricken on Saturday morning, and DR..
Pahl. Herr Krupps family doctor, also
was in the house. They summoned
several other physicians, and it is re-
garded as being beyond belief that all
of them should have connived at con-
cealment of the cause of death. which
they ascribc to a stroke of apoplexy, in
duced, they add unofficially, by mental
excitement from which Herr Krupp was
suffering.

was at Hamburg Thursday last, and at

Globe Circling Naval Bases.

Secretary Moody is said to be op-
posed to the establishment of an eX-
tensive globeencircling system OF naval
coaling stations.
As a result of his views on this sub
ject the plans OF those naval officers
who believe the United States should
now secure concessions which will be
of possible value in time of war may
be brought to halt. Mr. Moody,
since he assumed the administration of
the Navy Department, has not recon-
mended the establishment of a single
coaling station. His objection TO the
expansion o. the coaling- station system
is believed to be based on the opinion
that it is an unnecessary expense, and
that it is not judicious move to es-
tablish such station, for instance, in
the China sea, which will be of no par
ticular convenience, except, possibly. in
time of war.

GRANGE FOR wOMANs RIGHTS.
Resolution Adopted by the National 0rganiza'
tion Before Adjournment

Lansing, Mich. (SpeciaD The Ma
tional Grange renewed its recognition
Of woman's equality by adopting the re-
port of its committee on good OF the
order, which declared that every pos
sible thing should be done 'to put wo-
man in possession of all those political
rights and property interests that the
spirit of modern civilization demands" ="
The report further says that the vice
of intemperance should be checked and
the crime OF easy divorces which has
made America too conspicuous i'll the
eyes of the world made impossible.
The duty OF the Grange was declared
to be to impress upon the farmer that he
is an American citizen with political
duties to perform, and that the man who
neglects them because politics are too
dirty for him is just as much a criminal
as the man who neglects TO drain a cess
pool that threatens his family because it
is ill-smelling
A resolution indorsing the initiative
and referendum was defeated by the
committee on resolutions by a vote of
TO 9. The Grange adjourned sine die.

TRAIN ROBBERS Big LOOT
Rock Island Fast Express Successfully
Held Up.
CARS ARE DAMAGED BY EXPLOSION.
Five Masked Bandits Use the Usual Method

Davenport, la. (SpeciaD Train No.
IL, westbound. on the Rock Island
Road, the regular ST. Joseph and Kan
sss City express, was held UP at I1.3o
o'clock p. m.. three miles west OF this
city by masked bandits, who cut off the
express and baggage cars, forced the
engineer to run two miles up the
track, blew up the through express safe
with dynamite and escaped with their
booty. The amount is variously esti-
mated at from $1,000 to $4,000.
According to different reports there
were II or IS in the gang. The train,
which was due to leave here at 1898 p.
m, was IS minutes late. and pulled out
for the West after a short halt, 1t had
just passed through the village OF
Rockingham. on the outskirts of the
Rock Island Railroad yards, when the
engineer saw a red lantern on the
track and brought his train to a stop.
As he slowed down two robbers
sprang on the footboard OF the engine
and covered him and the fireman with
revolvers. While the engine crew was
thus kept quiet others OF the gang
menaced the crew and passengers in
the coaches. One OF the bandits un-
coupled the express and baggage cars
from the rest OF the train, and then the
engineer was ordered to pull out. Two
miles west OF Rockingham there is a
stretch OF heavily timbered country
and in this the engineer was ordered TO
stop. The bandits blew up the
through safe with dynamite using an
extremely heavy charge. The noise OF
the explosion was heard in Davenport.
After wrecking the safe the robbers
mounted the engine and ran down the
track. 1t was reported that they lett
the locomotive at small station called
Buffalo and escaped in the darkness.
The train was the fast westbound
express. which left Chicago at COS and
which runs through 10 Fort Worth,
Tex, via St. Joseph and Kansas City.
The name OF the engineer is Shaffer
and the conductor is Trumbull.
The explosion badly damaged the car,
but no one was injured.
