in force and is now more violent than

workmen's pensions In france.

PARIS, Sept. 26.-Among the impor-
tant matters coming up when parlia-
ment reassembles is a financial scheme
whereby it is proposed to provide the
funds necessary for founding work
mems pensions without resorting to
fresh taxation. The basis of the
scheme, which, it is understood, FL
nance Minister Rouvier fully approves,
is refunding a portion of the public
debt by the issuance of "a per cent
bonds. This would have the effect of
saving $60,00O,O00 in interest yearly,
of which a portion would be used to
establish labor pensions.

LONDON CRITIcIZES.
Says Railroad Accidents Are Too
Common Here.

London, Sept 26.-The recent rail
road accidents in the United States
are attracting no little comment in
England. The Pail Mall Gazette says:
''They are far too common in Amer
lea, especially of late. The fact that
it is large country with plenty of
room for them to happen in is not
sufficient to explain them. Probably
the fundamental cause is the nasty
and imperfect construction of tba
lines. the makeshift arrangements for
saving time, and the general rush of
strenuous national life.
