ENGLISH RAILROAD FATALITIES
Operations Across the Water OHer rig
ures for Our Comparison.

Operations Across the Water OHer Fig
ures for Our Comparison.
Last year the railroads of this coun-
Try killed one passenger IN every ], 957,
Al they carried, and injured one in
every 81, 424. The English roads killed
one in every AZ, 793, 800 carried and in
jured one in 1 $40, 745; and the English
roads accomplished this while carrying
almost two passengers for one that our
roads carried.
These statistics should sink deep into
the mind of every citizen When there
is such a great disparity as this in the
records Of two nations It is time to think.
If American railways cannot be OPer-
ated for profit without such disastrous
results, that fact alone should be reason
enough for public control. But while
they are privately owned, the people
should insist upon reasonable Precau-
tons and adequate expenditure to as
sure some measure of safety.
The Indianapolis News has the right
conception of the situation. 1t says;
eve Overwork enginemen and hremen.
We do not have proper road beds. We
do not take proper care Of them. We
do not, in short, go to the considerable
expense that a proper ordering of rail-
way system means.
Just as certain as arithmetic, if we
took the same pains that the English do
we would get the same results, and just
as certainly till we do we shall not. As
long as we permit the utter Indifference
to life, the utter lack of care in public
things, so long we shall be killed and
MANNED, as we are Genius means an
in6nith capacity for taking pains We
have yet 20 learn the lesson of life. +"

Wednesday, August 10, the Russian
Port Arthur squadron attempted to es-
cape, but was roughly handled by Ad-
miraI Togo's feet, the Russian admiral,
Without, On the flagship Czarevitch,
several other officers and 200 men being
killed and many wounded. Admiral
Togo's early report Of the engagement
is as follows:
'sOur comb med feet attacked the en-
emy's feet near Gugan rock. The Rus
sian vessels were emerging from Port
Arthur, trying to go south. We pursued
the enemy to the eastward. Severe
fighting lasted from o'cOck until sun
down. Toward the close the enemy's
FIRE weakened remarkably. His fOrma-
ton became confused and then his
ships scattered.
1.-The Russian cruisers AskOld and
Novik, and several torpedo boat de-
stroyers fed to the southwark. Other
Of the enemy's ships retreated separate
" toward Port Arthur We pursued
them and It appeared that we inflicted
considerable damage.

cIes belonging to the Russian battle
ship Czarevitch floating at sea. The
Czarevitch probably was sunk
eve have received no reports from
the torpedo boats and the torpedo boat
destroyers which were engaged in the
attack on the enemy's ships.
1.-THE Russian vessels, with the ex-
ception Of the AskOld, the NOvik, the
Czarevitch and the cruiser Palada, ap-
pear to have returned TO Port Arthur.
''Our damage..was.slight- Our fighting
power has not been impaired"
Sunday, August "A, the Russian ar
mored cruiser, Rurik, was sunk in a
naval engagement in the straits Of KO-
rea, and the armored cruisers, Rossia
and Gromoboi, escaped in a badly dam
aged condition. The Russian deet was
opposed by Admiral Kamimura with
four light japanese cruisers, the engage
ment lasting about FIVE hours, from
early morning until noon, and ending in
complete japanese victory. The Rurik
was a very large and heavily armed
vessel, nearly equal to a battleship.
The size Is indicated by the fact that
the japanese picked up 600 of her crew.
Later reports as to the Port Arthur
squadron say, that the CzareYitch and
three Russian torpedo boat destrOyeTs
made the port of Using Tau, German
Chinese port, and that they were so
badly damaged that they have been dis
mantied and put out of commission IN
til the end of the war. The Russian
cruiser, Palada; of the Port Arthur feet,
has not been heard from, and Toxic
dispatches say she was tOrPedOed and
sunk in the night engagement August
10th.
The several vessels that put into Port
Arthur made another sortie Tuesday,
August Is, and were engaged again
with Togo's feet. The harbor has be-
come untenable, and they must either
surrender with the fall of the fortress
or fight their way out, infiict what dina
age they can to the japanese navy, go

PORT ARTHUR BOTTLED UP.


PORT ARTHUR BOTTLED UP.
Paris, Feb. Io.-An eminent military
authority connected with one Of the
embassies said today that Port Arthur
was practically besieged, and it was a
serious question whether this would
not compel either the abandonment or
the surrender of the fortress with its
men and material. The grounds for
this belief were stated to be as fol
Admiral Togo's ships, on the watch
at the entrance Of the port, prevent i'm
gressY or egress, thus establishing a
virtual blockade and cutting off the
chances OF relief from seaward. The
Japanese troops near New ChWang
and under points Of the Lao Tung
peninsula are able to interrupt the
railroad forming the line Of coinnuni-
cation and supplies between Port Ar
thur and Harbill. The result is the
gradual inyestiture Of Port Arthur
within The Japanese naval and military
lines. 1t will require a bold action OH
the part of the Russian forces to pre-
vent the final accomplishment Of the
silyestiture and slow reduction Of Port
Arthur.

COTTON FUTURES IN ABALLooN
Market Scars, and Spots are Lively
Also.

The cotton market during the last
three days has been a. delightful SUR
pr Sc to Amer1cus ''talent" and not a
few of the wise ones got into the bal
loon before 1t started on it's trip to az.
Aure heights. August contracts have
advanced fifty points, or a half cent,
since last Friday, while the fall months
have climbed the grand also to a good
extent. Spot cotton feels the effect OF
this advance and the finer grades are
probably worth 103 cents here on such
market. The advance is attributed
to the great demand for August cotton
to fill contracts, and fear is expressed
that the present high level of prices
may not hold good very long.
