In the history Of railroading on the

day night should take an important
place, as such a case seldom happens
on this or any other road. The train
derailed was No. GA, which consisted
Of engine No. 2S8, the caboose and five
cars. All the wheels left the railsand
bumped along for quite distance on
the road bed, tearing up ties and rails
for several yards.
The cars and engine were slightly
damaged, but the loss to the company
is comparatively small. Traffic was
delayed one hour.

Revolutionary Form.

Washington the opinion OF SEN
ator Long of Kansas, who made the
trip to the far east with Secretary
Taft and party, the greatest need OF
the Filipinos is freer trade with the
United States. The senator talked with
the president Thursday about needs
of the Philippine islands. He told the
president that in his judgment the
islands would be in serious financial
condition until a reduction of duties
on their products entering the United
States was made.
Recently" said the senator, the
Filipinos have suffered from the ty-
phoons and drouth. AS consequence
their crops have either failed or been
wiped out and they are becoming dis
contented Their discomfort does not
take revolutionary form, but is SIM
ply the result of existing conditions -
Senator Long discussed railroad
rate legislation with the president
briefly. He expressed the belief that
the matter would be disposed of early
in the approaching session.
