RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.
First Half of 1903 Showed 1,771 Killed
and 22,972 Injured on the
Roads.


Chicago, March "a report of the
number of persons killed and injured
on railroads in the United States, com
pared with the number in Great Brit
ain for the six months ending June 80,
1903, shows LII killed and 22,972 in
jured in this country, against 311 killed
and 5000 injured in Great Britain. The
railroad reports explain this by the fol-
lowing statement:
Taking into consideration that the
railway mileage in the nited States is
nine times that of the United King
dom, the passenger mileage two and a
third times greater, the freight ten
times greater. n the railway en-
ployes two and a half times as numer-
Gus, the American railways do not suf-
fer in the comparison"
In July, August and September 1,025
persons were killed on the railroads of
the United States, an increase Of $50
over the corresponding quarter If 1902.
in h same time 14,162 We're injured,
ON increase of 5000 over the preceding
year. The increase is partly accounted
for by the growth in traffic and by the
fact that accidents are now much
more fully reported thar they were in
the preceding year" The quarter was
marked by a number of most disastrous
accidents, which swelled the total OF
fatalities. a condition which also will
affect the returns for the last quar-

MARTIN on THE TRUST.
Typical Case Which He Presented to
Show That Mean Men Are Vio-
Latina the Injunction,

Washington, March 3.-Congressman
Martin of South Dakota, who is pI:sh-
Ing the fight for a congressional inves-
legation Of the beef trust, presents a
typical case to illustrate how he be-
lieved the injunction case against the
beef trust was being evaded by that
combination, which, he stated, con
sisted of seven concerns. Mr.. Martin
said he was told by a stockman that
he had just sold a %trainload of fat
steers in Chicago. When he arrived in
that city he sought bids for his stock.
He went to the various concerns, but
could secure a bid for only one. He
anally accepted this bid. His curiosity
had been aroused and he resolved to see
what the reason was for this condi-
ton.
That night the steers were separated
Into sever equal lots and sent to the
wen different concerns. Explaining
further, Mr.. Martin said that before the
Injunction was issued it was the custom
Of these firms to agree the night before
on the price they would bid the next
day for beef on the hoof.
To illustrate the profit that he ASSERT
ed was being made by the beef trust"
Mr.. Martin said that IN February 1,
1902, the price of good to extra steers"
was $3.50 per hundredweight, and the
price for good to extra beef sides was
1000. Ol tAu6uSl i, 1ouo, Iue price OA
beef sides was the same as o. Febru-
ary 1, but the price of live beef had
dropped to s5.17 per hundredweight.
During the month of August, 1903, the
steers were sold on the Chicago mar
ket making, according to Mr.. Martin,
an additional profit to the trust for
the month Of 1852, 1868, or s144, 327 for
ach of the t~wenty-six business days of
that month. This sum, he declared,
would permit of the of S5 OOO.

WHY THEY ARE CLOSE.
saron Haysshi Says Japan Must Be
Secretive, and They Don't Want
the World to pi~saporove.

London, March Pin reference TO the
severity of the censorship exercised by
the japanese government over the
news dispatches of foreign correspond.
ents. Baron Hayashi, the Japanese
minister to Great Britain, said to the
Associated Press today:
II W had numerous representations
from English and other newspapers.
upon this subject, but l believe that our
position in the case is not only right,
who look carefully into the circum-'
stances. ,
I'VE are fighting against numerical
odds, which are quite out Of proportion
to the odds against any combatant I'M
recent wars. We are fighting for our
existence. and our only hope of main-'
tanning 1t is to strike swiftly n se-
cretly at the beginning. To get in the
first blow means more to us than, Il
think, 1t has eve meal to any bel,
ligerent, and to insure that it is vital
for US to demand a degree of secrecy
which has not been necessary in any
recent warfare. Even at the risk of
alternating temporarily the friendship.
of the press OF the world, we must pre-
vent even a whisper Of our real inten-
tons reaching our powerful enemy.

was our enemy. but against a psweri
like Russia, SO immensely superior in
eventual resources, it might turn the
scale. When you fight for life every
thing else becomes of minor import
ance. b
II cannot believe that Japan will lose
friends in the world because she has
been obliged to impose such a careful
censorship. I do not think the present
rigor Of this censorship will be contin-

conditions of the campaign make even

TROUBLE IN SIGHT.
Chicago Spring Labor Warfare fla;
Make 10000 Men Idle at ANY
Time.

Chicago. March b Chicago is pre-
pairing for the first crop Of labor diff.
f1culties for the year 1904. The stu
alton is fraught with the possibility Of
walkouts affecting in the aggregate,
10000 men belonging to unions whose,
wage agreements have expired.
Here is h list of employees who will
strike If their demands are not met:
Truck teamsters, 1900; blacksmithsI
and helpers, 1000; painters and dec
orators, $500; cement finishers and,
ers. beer bottlers and masters, 2,1O0;
woodworkers, door and sash factor
tes), 1900; carriage and wagon MAX
ers locked out), 1,10O; van teamsters
and helpers, 1000; fathers, 400; total
29,400. The carriage and wagon MAX
ers were locked out a month ago and
are still negotiating with their employ
ers.
All the unions in the foregoing list
held meetings and took what they
termed final action on the demands and
on the propositions submitted to them
by the employers. Strikes or a cessa-
ton of work are looked for in the cases
OF the fathers, brewery workers, brew
cry laborers, beer bottlers, malsters and
cement workers, and the employers
threaten a lockout to the painters I'M
less they recede from their demands.
There is a possibility that the truck
teamsters may reach an amfcable set
tlement with the Chicago Team Own
ers' association. The painters decided
to ask for a minimum OF As cents an
hour n a two "a agreement. The
bosses have offered 42h cents an hour
for the next yea the present schedule
OF 40 cents to continue for this year.

st. Petersburg, March Aft an att
tempt is made to lay a cable from the
island of Guam to Japan during the,
continuance Of hostilities, 1t will be re-
garded as contraband Of war under a
proclamation promulgated yesterday.
1t is not believed here the United
States will undertake or authorize such
a cable now, as it would constitute a
breach of neutrality according to the
Russian view.
The statement of the commander of
the United States gunboat Vicksburg

communicated to the foreign office by
the Associated Press correspondent,

satisfactory explanation. Regrets were
expressed that the incident had created
