started according to one version. by the
unavoidable failure Of necessary part OF
the equipment, and according to the otner
by the carelessness or disobedience to or
ders or forgetfulness of the engineer OF the
switching engine, or possibly the yard mas
ter.
In the former case there Is clearly no
one to blame for the disaster, unless 1t De
that the air hose had not been sufheientiy
inspected. Such materials, subject to ire
quent and sudden strains, may break with
out warning, even under system OF the
most careful and frequent scrutiny. 1t Is
the constant endeavor of the railroad COM
panies to reduce this danger to a minimum,
and millions are spent yearly in experiments
with new appliances. The industry has
been greatly extended and minutely special
lied as the exposition now In progress in
this city amply attests, and yet. despite
all the care and expense in preparation and
all the ingenuity in invention, vital parts
will break at inopportune moments, caus-
Ing frightful disasters.
If In fact, however, the trouble at Har-
risburg was started by the presence OF a
switching engine at point where 1t had
no business to be in view of the state of
the traffic. whether the freight train was
late or on time. then clearly some one was
at fault, and the disaster falls into the
class of the preventable wrecks.
The Harrisburg tragedy affords an open
field for the discussion of this matter Of
safeguarding the public. The demand for
fast travel has resulted In the quadrupling
of the tracks many of the trunk lines of
this country. as in the case of the road on
which this disaster occurred. Nothing more
seems possible short of the wide separation
of all tracks, adding prohibitively to the
expense of establishment and maintenance.
The acute problem of modern railroading
does not relate to unpreventable wrecks,
but to the infinitely various and frightful
ly frequent accidents due to the failure Of
the human judgment. 1t is to that point
that the progressive transportation workers
Of the country are now chiefly addressing
themselves, and the country prays that they
may soon find way to interpose check
between the travelling public and the for
getful. reckless or incompetent operative.

to perfect the methods and to develop ex-
perts for the various branches of the work.
In behalf of the police count 1t Is fair to
say that the enumerators, being daily sta
toned in the neighborhoods they are as
signed to cover, are at least supposed to be
familiar with the general run Of the popu-
latfon, perhaps more SO than the federal
enumerators who are hired for ten-yearly
occasion without especial knowledge of
their fitness or familiarity with the field
1t is to be hoped that investigation will
prove the general accuracy of the police
count. The showing of increase 1t disclosed
was gratifying. while not involving a
stretch of credulity. The indicated growth
IL entirely normal when the conditions
which are today attracting population to
the capital are considered.

Railroad Disasters.

Railroad accidents are of two general
classes. preventable and unpreventable.
In the former class are those that occur
through the carelessness, forgetfulness.
recklessness or incompetency of operatives.
engineers, conductors, signalmen. switch
men or dispatchers They arise from mis-
understood or misstated or forgotten Or
ders. causing the running of trains into
open switches or into each other, or the
failure of hagmen to obey the rules re-
quirinS them to go back a sufficient dis
lance from a stalled train to warn the
next occupant of the same track. This
class of disasters Is the most frequent. as
the news reports OF the constantly occur
ring wrecks clearly attest.
OF unpreventable accidents enough are
happening in even these days of mark I'd
improvement in the mechanical equipment
OF lines and appliances to indicate that the
railroad growth has been more rapid than
the development OF the capacity of the
mechanical genius of the period. The
strain on vital parts of the machine is at
times too great to be withstood. This
arises in large part from the demand for
faster speeds for both freight and passen-
gers. for closer connections, for fewer de-
lays in traffic.
<>SSo'uihs W the nrst explanation given
of the Harrisburg horror, that disaster fell
within the category OF unpreventable &C.
cidents. This statement was that the
"buckllng'' of the freight train was caused
by the breaking OF an air hose, happen
ing beyond the range of prevention In the
ordinary railroad practice. A later dis
patch however. tells a different story. A
shifting engine was seen by the freight en-.
gineer to be approaching his train on The
same track. He applied the air brakes sc
sharply that the freight train '.buckled.
thus obstructing the passenger track and
wrecking the express, which by a rare
chance happened to come along few mo-
ments later.
Here. then, was chain of circumstances

A Melancholy Finish.

IT'S saddening indeed to view
This world and its distress;
IT'S worse to think how much is due
To downright carelessness.
Despite the papers which explain
How such things come to pass,
Again. again. and yet again,
Some one blows Out the gas.
Who shall describe the ways of Fame?
Mysterious are her rules.
The same reward Fate Oft win claim
For martyrs and for fools.
With some discretion let this life
Be nodded, as we pass
IT'S fine to perish In the strife
But don't blow out the gas.

The Russian Ambassador.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New 1ofk Tribune
1t is obviously the intent of the Russian
government to keep itself represented IN
America by an ambassador who is an ex-
pert in far eastern politics. For seven
years It has had at Washington Count Cas-
sini one of its most experienced and astute
diplomats and the one who was foremost
in the efforts to secure for Russia exclu-
sive privileges and predominant Influence
in China. 1t was. indeed, Count Cassinfs
work at Picking that opened the present
chapter in Russo Chinese relations and led
straight 20 the viceroyalty of Admiral
Alexieff and the serious complications
which have resulted from 1t. At Washing
ton Count Cassini has served his sovereign
with indefatigable devotion and with much
efficiency, for which he is now to be re-
warded with promotion to the ambassa-
dorship to Spain. He is to be succeeded
at Washington by Baron Rosen, who Is
also an expert In Asian affairs and has
played an important part in the promotion
of Russian designs in the far east.
