FOR SAFETY OF TRAVELLERS
Device Of Berlin Underground Electric
Railway to Render Third
Rail Harmless.

The Berlin elevated and under
ground electric railway has installed
in the drivers. compartment a short
circuiting switch, so that the current
passing along the third rail may bc
earthed and the fuses blown at the
power station, thus rendering the sec
ton dead. An alternative means Of
short circuiting is afforded by a port
able bar which is provided with in
sulatins brushes of some length, and
which can be placed by the driver
across the third and return rails.
These devices are intended only for
use in the tunnel sections Of the rail-
way If 1t should be necessary for pas
sengers to alight from a train and
proceed to the next station, or to the
escape shafts which are being formed
between the stations. The tunnels are
now lighted from two independent cir
cults at intervals of q feet, and fire
extinguishers are located in them at
intervals Of 1925 feet. The hydrants
and sand boxes at the stations have
been doubled. and each station Is d.
rectly connected with the fire brigade
by means of an alarm wire. In addi-
ton to these arrangements the car
riages are equipped with portable sand
boxes and with other fire extinguish-
ing appliances using water.

JUGGLED, HE SAYS.
Mr.. Covherd Challenges Wright's
Figures on Wage Increase.
Cost of Living Has Increased Out Of
All Proportion TO Incomes,
Says the Democratic
Congressman.

Washington, Aug. S.-Chairman Cow
herd. Of the democratic congressional
campaign committee, has issued
statement in refutation of recently
published tables from the bureau of
labor relative to the increase in wages
and the cost Of living. Mr.. Cowherd's
conclusions are as follows: I'm the
bulletin on cost Of living and wages,
recently issued by the bureau of statis-
tics, the methods adopted are as re-
markable as the conclusions reached.
Wholesale prices have always been the
standard by which the rise or fall Of
the cost Of living has been computed.
Had Commissioner of Labor Wright
followed the customary course of using
wholesale prices, he would have been
confronted with the excellent tables
issued by Dun and Bradstreets, both
recognized as commercial authorities.
Dun's table of prices shows that from
July, 1897, the low point. to March,
1904, the highest point, cost of living

HAY CALLS RUSSIA DOWN.
Secretary of State Injects a Bit of
Ginger into "COntraband of
War" Dispute.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Secretary Hay,
In his Interpretation of Russia's seiz-
IRE of neutral vessels, directs attention
to the West African conference IN 1884,
when Russia took occasion to dissent
vigorously from the inclusion Of coal
amongst articles contraband of war
and declared that she would categoric-
ally refuse her consent to any articles
in any treaty. convention or instrument
whatever which would imply its rec
ignition as such"
He declares that the recognition, in
principle. of the treatment Of coal
and other fuel and raw cotton as abso-
lutely contraband of war might ulti-
mately lead to total inhibition Of the
sale, by neutrals, to the people Of bel
ligerent states, of all articles which
could be finally converted to military
uses. This the secretary contends
would not appear to be in accord with
the reasonable and lawful rights Of
commerce

IT is TO CIvILIZE THIBET.
= Expedition That Has Reached
Lhassa.

st. Petersburg, Aug. S.-The Novosti
In urging rapproachment with Great
Britain says that nothing is to be ap-
pretended from the Thibet expedition,
as the agreement between Great Brit
ain and Russia before the expedition
started gave assurance that it should
not extend beyond the borders OF
Thibet. The paper thinks that it is
natural and right that Lhassa should
be forced to forego her long exclusion
Of civilization, and adds: Great Brit
ain and Russia together have nothing
to fear from the yellow peril. 1t would
be better II the press Of the two coun-
tries, instead of accentuating differ
ences over the capture of a few mer-
chantmen, should work tremendously
for the agreement Of the respectiv.
countries in Asia. where the real In
terests Of both lie."

increased 43 per cent. The most skill
full juggler could not show such rise
in wages. Party necessities, therefore,
would not permit Mr.. Wright to use
this table and he dare not refute it.
"A bright field agent selecting his
stores and localities could find evil
dence in retail prices to support any
theory. This was the way in which
the cost of living was deduced. The
methods employed to raise wages were
equally as questionable. Every one
knows that the greatest increase in
wages Is to be found in those indus
tries where union labor is strongest
and where the strength of the union
had been developed during the period
under investigation, The greatest en-
ployers of labor in the country are
the railroads and no other industry Is
better barometer of the average
wage. The railroads employ all kinds
of labor, skilled and unskilled. union
and non-union. In no other industry
are as complete and accurate statistics
available. Each railroad reports to the
interstate commerce commission the
total wages during each year and the
total number of workmen on June 80
of that year. The average wage is,
therefore, easily obtainable. Why
were no railroad wages included in
Mr.. Wright's report? The answer is
apparent. The last report of the in
terstate commerce commission shows
an increase of railroad wages of only
three per cent. The railroads employ
more than 100000 men. Mr.. Wright's
figures cover 1882. Miners, one Of
the next largest bodies of laborers,
also are omitted. Mr.. Wright's table
does not show that any one of these
1882 men received more wages in
1903 than in 1902 or any other year.
1t only claims to show the hourly wage
for these particular men has increased
In other words, had mill raised the
wages of its employees 10 per cent and
then shut down one-half the time, this
would have figured in Mr.. Wright's
table as an increase in wages"
