the defeat of the Republican party be-
cause of its great weight and response

arisen within the past few years. The

LESS LOSS OF LIFE.
Gratifying Result of Equipping Cars
With Patent Couplers.

The interstate commerce commission has
issued a bulletin in accordance with the
provisions of an act of Congress of March
8. 1901 requiring common carriers engaged
in interstate commerce to make full report
of all accidents to the interstate commerce
commission, from which it appears that
during the three months ending September
80, 1901. there were 24o killed and 2,622 in
jured in collisions. derailments and miscel-
ianeous train accidents. Other kinds of ac-
cidents including those sustained by en-
ployeS while at work and by passengers in
getting on or of cars, etc, increase the
total number to 725 killed and lo,4ST in
Jured. The number of passengers killed in
collisions and deraiIments during the quar-
ter was fifty-seven, which is very large and
equal to more than half of the total shown
for twelve months in the commissions an
nual report for 1900. The present record is
swelled by single collision in August in
which twenty-eight passengers and three
employees of the road were killed. The total
number of collisions was 1,247 and derail-
ments 1902, of which 217 collisions and
ninety deraflments affected passenger
trains. The damage to cars, engines and
roadway by these accidents amounted to
81, ,S42,224. This does not include damage
to merchandise in cars.
The number of accidents to EMPLOYEES in
coupling cars continues to show a gratify-
ing decrease, as compared with former rec
ords, the Improvement being due to the use
OF automatic couplers, under the law of
1888. The number killed was thirty. which

tailed causes of these accidents. One hun

SLATED FOR REMOVAL
BRIDGE SPANNING STH STREET
BETWEEN BUILDINGS.
Structure May Be Taken to Rock
Creek Park-Notice to
Owner.

The foot bridge which has for many
years spanned Sth street, connecting the old
Post Office Department building with the
red brick structure on the northwest cor
ner of Sth and streets, is to be removed
An arrangement to this end has been enter
ed into by the District Commissioners and
the Secretary Of the Interior, which latter
department now occupies the post office
! structure. If the Commissioners can make
still further arrangements to that end, the
bridge will do duty In the future in Rock
Creek Park. In reporting upon the matter
to his associates of the District board, Col.
John Biddle. the Engineer Commissioner.
SAYS
THE matter Of removing this bridge over
Sth street was taken up several days ago
with the Secretary of the Interior and 1t was
thought all arrangements had been made
with him SO that the District could proceed
to remove the bridge, 1t being the intention
to make use Of it in Rock Creek Park,
where 1t was considered to be worth at
least the cost of removal. 1t appears from
a letter from the Secretary of the Interior
that he, while in favor of the removal of
the bridge, does not consider that he has
authority to grant permission for its re-
| movai I8 ana suggests that the owners Of the
| building at the west end Of the bridge be
communicated with on the subject
Il therefore recommend that the owners
be notified that the bridge is no longer
| be removed within sixty days from the
date of the notification; that If they do not
wish to go to the expense Of removing it,
! the District will remove 1t upon condition
| that it is to have the material in the
bridge"
Copy Of Agreement.
In his letter to the Commissioners on the
subject Secretary Hitchcock inclosed copy
| of an agreement obtained from the Post
Office Department from which 1t appears
! that on March 16, 1882, Robert A. Hooe and
Robert Beverly entered into an agreement
with the Postmaster General to erect a
building at Sth and streets northwest to
| be leased by the Post Office Department
| and it was also agreed that a safe and
secure iron bridge shall be constructed over
| the street from said building to the corri-
dor of the post Office building. connecting
with the second floor thereof"
From this, says the Secretary, at
| would appear that the question as to what
disposition should be made Of the bridge
| is not one for determination by this de-
partment but would seem to be one for
4! consideration of the District Commission
ers and the persons by whom 1t was con-
| structed. l may add that the bridge Is

VISIT TO JERUSALEM
SIZE OF CELTIC'S PARTY TAXED
CITY's FACILITIES.
United States Consul Merrill Reports
on Provisions Taken for the Com
fort of the Tourists.

United States Consul Selah Merrill, at
Jerusalem. has made report to the State
Department, under date of March II, relat-
ing the events connected with the visit to
that city of the 500 American tourists form
Ing the Celtic party. The report follows:
THE steamer Celtic, with upward of 800
American tourists on board, arrived at
Jaffa on the 9th of this month and left to-
day for Egypt. All this company among
whom were many persons of distinction,
visited Jerusalem. They came in two sec
tions, the first numbering about 600 and the
second upward of 200. The difficult and
frequently dangerous landing and embark
alton at Jaffa were accomplished without
accident of any kind. This city can accom-
modate 300 and possibly above 400 tourists
fairly well, but when the number rises
above 400 at one time many persons have
to put up with poor accommodations and
with guides that are noted only for cheek
and deplorable ignorance. Such a crowd is
unwieldy at best, but trust that most of
them enjoyed their brief visit to the holy
city.
Steps Taken to Insure Comfort.
This consulate did all that was in its
power to do for their comfort and con-
venience. We waited upon the governor
and obtained a detail of special policemen,
with special officers to serve for the occa-
sion. We called the drivers together and
warned them that they would be held re-
sponsible for any accident. This was very
necessary as the native drivers have no
other idea of driving than to hold the reins
and lash their horses into a gallop, and
there was no other way to restrain these
Jehus than to threaten them in a body.
We sent word TO the sheikhs of the neigh
boring villages, where vicious boys are
known to live. the Mount of Olives, Beth
any. Silwan (SIloam), Neby Daoud prophet
David. that they should not modest the
travellers. We instructed the police to send
away from the city, or to have them under
special surveillance, any men or boys that
were known to be pickpockets or petty
thieves.
"As the trains arrived in the evening, and
as the streets are not lighted, 1t was ar
ranged that the station and the street to
the city. one mile distant. should be light

the municipality to have the streets-as 1t
