real horns. The world OF science will

the existance OF such an animal were

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS
HAZARDS OF RAILROAD LIFE ARE
SHARPLY EMPHASIZED.
Losses Are Heavier Than on Big Bat
tIefieids.

Harrisburg, Pa, Dec. 2-Hazards Of
railroad life are sharply emphasized in
the annual report Of l. B. Brown, secre-
tary of the department of international
affairs, in which a parallel is drawn be-
tween the casualties among railroad en-
ployes in this state during the last year
and the union losses on some of the great
battle fields OF the civil war. The casual
ties among steam railroad employees in
Pennsylvania for the year covered by the
report were 1882 The combined figures
for the steam and street railways show a
greater number of casualties during the
year than occurred to the union army in
any one of the great battles of the civil
war" Figures follow:
During the year the number of passen-
gers killed was II and injured III. OF
the employees of the street railroads II
were killed and SIC injured; of other per-
sons 16 were killed and 1,67S injured; total
killed of these corporations 277 and the
total number of non-fatal, 1859. In dis
cussing the casualty figures reported by
the various roads Secretary Brown calls
attention to the significant fact that there
was a decrease in the number of employees
injured last year as compared with the
year before of 3,512.

Real Estate Value Have Taken a Sud-
den Tumble.

Guthrie, o. T., Dec. pa Muskogee
dispatch says word was received here
yesterday from Secretary Hitchcock re-
fusing to approve the application of
number of Creek citizens for the unre
stricted alienation of The land upon
which the town of Weeletka is located,
made some time ago and recommended
by the Dawes commission. For some rea-
son, not specifically stated in the refusal.
1t was not thought best TO grant the
request. The secretary in his recommen-
dations stated that the land might be
listed for sale and sold under sealed bids.
In the meantime the thousand OF so
people who bought possessionary rights
from the Indian owners of the land don't
know where they stand. and there has
been a sudden depreciation of real es-
tate values.
Many contend there is no difference be-
tween the status of this town and CO.
weta, where the unrestricted alienation
vas allowed.

NO HOPE FOR CHINA
Partition viii Be Her Fate Sooner or
Later

Pekin. Dec 23-The two members of the
diplomatic corps at the Chinese capital
whose opinions regarding the present
critical condition of affairs in the East
are probably most valuable are japanese
Minister Uchihda and Sir Ernest Mason
Satow, who, for over three years has rep
resented the British government at Pc
kin. 1t is no secret that both see only a
faint prospect of war being averted.
Minister Satow was connected with the
British diplomatic service in Japan for
a quarter of century. He is one of the
greatest of living authorities or Japan
ese history and literature and is in con-
slant communication with the foremost
statesmen of Japan. He Is quoted as say
ing that any one who imagines that Japan
will not fight for what she conceives to be
her greatest interests does not know the
Japanese people.
Minister Uchda is an adherent of the
young Japan party and has always adj
vocated war, if necessary, to secure the
evacuation of Manchuria. Sir Robert
Hart, director of Chinese imperial mari
time customs, said today that he feared
China would be the chief sufferer if the
war should occur, for she might be
ground between the two nillstones.
The decsdence of the Chinese govern
ment has never been more conspicuously
displayed than in these times when her
ministers go from legation TO legation
imploring other governments to help
China, without any thought of China help
ing herself There is absolutely no strong
man among the ruling ministers, Prince
Chun, Marquis Ting or Ii Hung Chang
all are venerable conservatives like Prince
Ching. Wa Ting Fang, the well known
ex-minister to the United States, tells his
official friends that he despairs of China s
future. 4 see no hope he says. for
China. The partition or the empire, soon
er or later, is inevitable"
He is Disguised with the official life of
Pekin and proposes to resign his f7<sent
position at the first opportunity. His
experience is that of the majority of en-
lightened Chinese officials. He cid work
in negotiating the commercial treaties re-
recently signed and was summoned 10 Pc
kin and given the vice presidency of the
board of commerce. The president Of this
important board is Prince raj Chen. a
youth. whose only qualification for the
position is the fact that he took a hur-
ried trip around the world when he repre-
scented China at the coronatio of King
Edward Yet. he vetoes most of the praC-
teal proposals made by the other mem
bers of the board
The greatest discourag cement prevails
among the provincial officials who come TO
Pekin. They all declare that they never
before found the government so lacking
in, olI
