LACK OF BRAINS.
President Futile Thinks. is Cause of Train Wrecks
 in the West.

Boston, Oct 19. President Lucius Futile of the Boston and Maine rail- road, in public address here in which he was commenting on the number or train wrecks in the west, said that he could not account for them save by the explanation that for some psycho. logical reason the brains of the men in charge of the trains failed to work" at times. MT Futile thought that the demand for reliable men iA greater than can be supplied. It could not be fairly charged, he said, that the railroad men of the country are over worked.
 MT Futile added: '9The American railroads are largely operated on the mileage system. It offers the greater incentive to employees to make as many trips as they may be permitted to make in order to increase their wages, and 1t requires, not the greatest coer. cion to induce them to run, but the greatest watchfulness to see that they do not run more than they ought to.

s CANADIAN CAMPAIGN.
Fate of Laurier's Government is Now
 at Stake,

St John, N. B., Oct 19.-The cam paign for the election of members of the Canadian parliament on November 3, upon which depends the fate of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's government, is being yehemently contested in all parts of the country. In the eastern provinces candidates have been nominated by both the liberals and conservatives in practically every constituency. R. L.. Borden of Halifax, the conservative leader, will begin speaking tour in New Brunswick at Woodstock to- nor row Cabinet ministers will also de- liver numerous addresses in behalf of the government The liberals are re- lying on the prosperity of the country and on their program for the construc- ton of trans-c continental railroad.
 The railroad plan is unpopular in this city and the conservatives claim they will win both seats in St John. Hon Andrew O. Blair, former minister of railroads and canals, who resigned his portfolio and his seat in this city about year ago because he would not accept the railroad program, yesterday resigned as chairman of the railroad appointed after leaving parliament He announces that he still strongly ob- ieets to a Grand Trunk railroad, but has no intention of re-entering politi- cal life.
 The liberals hope to retain their large majorities in Quebec and Mime sota and thus be able to offset the con servative strength elsewhere.

FINAL ROUNDS IN

Hamilton, Mass, Oct 19-Harvard and Yale met to-day in the final team match to decide the intercollegiate golf championship, on the links of the Myopia Hunt club here Yesterday Harvard defeated Pennsylvania and Yale defeated Princeton. Harvard was the favorite before play com menced to-day, particularly as H. Chandler Egan, the national cham pion, is captain of the Harvard team. The light showers during the night served only to make the green faster this morning and while it was cloudy there was little promise of rain and the wind was light, making conditions very favorable for low scoring. It was arranged that IS holes should be played in the forenoon and second round of holes in the afternoon.

Petitions Presented by Sey era1 Bishops to Pope
 Plus X.

Rome, Oct 19. Several bishops of north Italy, including Cardinal Fer rari, archbishop of Milan and a close friend of the pope, have petitioned him personally to consider whether the moment has not arrived to d. low Catholics to participate in general elections. According to the petition CTS, their abstention from voting dur ing the last 34 years has brought no advantage to the claims of the vati- can, while it has seriously endangered the interests of religion by entrusting power to the open enemies of the church and they believe that if the Catholics are allowed to vote, if not for real clerical candidates at least for representatives it would insure the presence in the chamber of depu- ties of strong party capable of pre- venting the passage Of bills aimed against religion. The pope has not yet taken decision, but he has asked for the opinion of the most authori- taHve cardinals.

It is be. lieved that the two children who were burned were overcome by smoke in their beds.

Washington, Oct 19.The president has instructed Secretary of War Taft to proceed at an early date to Panama to confer with the president of that republic with view to com promising the differences that have arisen between the two countries. In a letter of instructions the president says: There is grounds for belief that in the execution of the rights conferred by the treaty, the people of Panama have been unduly alarmed at the report of the esta blishment of a government i'll the canal strip by this country.

LONE TREE HILL IS HELD
 BY THE RUSSIAN FORCES
Although Field Marshal Oyama Tried Days to Take it St. Petersburg i.
 View of the Situation at Present.

St Petersburg, Oct 19, 1:45 p. m.- The flush of enthusiasm yesterday evening over the capture of Lone Tree Hill and Shakhe, the repulse of the attacks of the Japanese left and the hard drubbing given General Yamada, with the capture of fourteen additional guns, has given way this morning to calmer and more sober apprafsement of these partial. successes. There is no official confirmation of the report that General Kuropatkin had re- stunned a genuine offensive, that the rather general Japanese offensive had exhausted itself, and that the position of the armies is now sort of dead lock, with the country rendered so sod den by the heavy rain as to compel a temporary suspension of general oper- ations A complete veil hides the movements east, but both Kuropat- kin's and Sakharoff's s reports say there were no collisions on that portion of the battle-ground Monday. or Tuesday. Field Marshal Oyama evidently con siders that Lone Tree Hill, from which Kuropatkin could pivot turn ing movement against his left to be of vital importance, as both Sunday and Monday nights, the latter during ter rife storm, made desperate efforts to recapture it, Accompanying the as saults with demonstratiye attacks against other points. But all the ef- forts failed. Neither Kuropatkin nor Sakharoff i'll the dispatches given out this morning send details of the defeat of Yamada's column and the capture of the Japanese guns. PiHful pictures are painted by the war correspondents of the shelterless troops bivouacking in the cold rain, the roads converted into quagmires and the roads flooded.
 Ehe military critics are not yet sat isifed that Oyama Is ready to relin- quish the offensive, expressing the opinion that he may still try to break through the Russian center in order to compel Kuropatkin to retire from the line of the Hun river, unless, as they believe, he has become convinced that the superiority of the Russian num- bers and reserves makes his with drawal to the line of the Taitse river advisable. '
 General Geisman asserts positively that up to yesterday Kuropatkin had not brought anything like all the regi- ments of his reserves into action and the number of fresh units behind
