ate statement showing the risk persons
take IN travelling on railroads through
out the United States.
For the fiscal year ending June 80,
1908, the total casualties were S6,393, or
more than enough persons TO populate
q city of the size of Wilmington. This
number probably exceeds the fatalities
Of year Of the Russian-Japanese war.
Alarming as these figures appear in
the aggregate they lose their force when
compared with the total number of per-
sons who use the railroads in year.
There were 694.S9l.535 passengers carr
ried in the fiscal year, which proves
that little more than one person out Of
1000 met with mishap I'm travelling.
out Of the total casualties, 9,S40 repre-
sents the number killed, and 1858 the
injured.
The commissions statistics also show
that the par value Of the railway cap
ital outstanding al the end of the fiscal
year was S12 800 25S which repre-
sents a capitalization of S63. 1856 mile

According to intelligence received
here the Japanese last night attacked

The general staff has received no in

its last appearance.
The japanese advance to TatchekiaO

compelled To camp for the night close

their fires and went ahead to get
ready for rhe night when they heard
the whistle OF the engine on the short
line running 10 the park. They were
all very near the track, as they were
camped on the right OF way and they
lined up to let the train pass. When
the engine came around a curve some

his whistle and they neard him set
