Facts made public by the Interstate
Commerce commission show that the
quarter including July. August and
September Of 1904 was the worst in the
history of American railroading, so far
as concerns fatal accidents TO passen-
gers. During these three months 22S
passengers and 1888 employees were kill
ed and 2.104 passengers and 1888 en-
ployes injured in accidents. Other ac-
cldents to passengers and employees,
aside from collisions and derailments,
bring the total to 1882 killed and 13.2O7
injured, a total of 1929 casualties in
three months, or very nearly 1855 for
each day dneluding Sundays in the
three months. These figures cover
2,76o different accidents-an average of
exactly thirty day-which involved a
p1 operty loss Of $2,4S9,O7S
If this or much of it, has come from
trying to do too much business for the
equipment perhaps there ought to be
less trying of that kind. 1t doesn't
seem to pay. Here we have a direct
property loss of practically two and a
half millions. Damages in the case of
the more than fourteen thousand cas-
ualtfes doubtless may be assumed to
&
reach as much more. This gives US five
millions in three months, or at the
rate OF twenty millions a year. At FIVE
per cent. this represents the interest
on four hundred millions, or one-six-
teenth the total capitalization of our
railrcads-ss,955, 2O7, 1896.

1H r. RUSSIAN NOE,

Not very pleasant Sunday news from
st. Petersburg, and yet just what was
expected. And 1t looks very much as
if there would be more such news from
st. Petersburg, or other places in Rus
STA. The people there seem to be really
waking up TO the idea that they are
entitled to and can get better govern
ment. Many are ready to die in sup
port OF that idea. and perhaps many
will have to die before the stubborn
and stupid government of Russia will
be able to, see what is going on, And
when 1t does see perhaps it viii be too
late for it to save itself. The harden
ing of rulers hearts and heads is some
times a very necessary element of
change. @,&& 10
Yesterday. as before, there were signs
that Russian soldiers are not all will
ing killers Of their brothers. If the
Car can't DEPEND on his soldiers and
policemen his despotism is fast weak
ening. Perhaps this particular out
break win be soon over, but it is only
a symptom Of the real trouble. The
Cars government is not popular. his
foolish and wicked war with Japan is
not popular. and he may be about to
find that a revolution Is popular. The
sympathy Of the world Is with the Rus
sian people in their efforts to find a
better way Of living. and the world
knows that there, is better way. There
may be startling news from Russia any
day. There viii certainly have to be
some concession to the people by the
Gear, and that may not cure the dis
ease. 1t viii not unless it is a more
radical one than anybody has right to
expect from a. decaying government
trying to avoid its downfall.

A NEg WRINKLE.

They aren't afraid to make expert
ments in California, or, at least, to talk
about making them. The proposition to
train monkeys to pick the prune crop
has been advanced by Martin ". seeley,
an orchardist who resides in San Jose,
Cal. He conceived the idea of train
ing the animals to do such work while
a resident of Central America. Seeley
says that he has made arrangements
with a. B, Janos of Acapulco, Panama,
for five hundred native tanned monkeys,
and that this shipment is now on it's
way to California. Seeley declares that
he will have no trouble in training the
animals to pick the fruit and will place
muzzles on them to prevent them from
eating it. ~
Happy thought, 1t will be interesting
to see how it comes out, OF course il
monkeys can be trained to pick prunes
they can also be trained to pick or
anges, lemons, etc. So, perhaps Cali
fornia is on the eve of another econ
onic revolution or something of that
kind. And perhaps the Amalgamated
Association Of Fruit Pickers will have
something to say. They will not let
monkeys take the bread and fruit out
of their mouths without a lively pro-
test. There may be a monkey question
ON the Pacific coast, as well as a Chin
csc and Japanese question.

At a recent meeting of the Imperial
Geographical Society at Weadikawas,
Russia, the explorer, Arakelyani, made
some interesting statements about the
religious sect of the Babists. This Ma
hammedan organization was founded in
1874 by the Persian Mirsa Ali Mohamed
and now numbers about 100000 mem
bers. According to the "Bejan"-the
Koran of this sect-all men are breth-
rem and should sneak and write the
same language. The year is divided
into nineteen months and nineteen days,
of which the latter five are devoted to
repentance. OF these 100000 members
over 100000 live in Persia, where they
have been allowed to build their own
churches,w lille the remainder is spread
over Egypt Arabia, Turkestan and
even China. The present head OF the
sect is Abbas- Effendi, who lives in Per-
sia. The founder of the, organization,
Mira Ali Mohamed, was killed in Per-
sia three years ago. 49,,

He was pitted against the champions of the world, shooting against a man who had broken SU7 straight and another who had broken 245 straight. But in the last 50 bird match, which was to settle the ownership of a silver toilet set. he broke them all, beating Gil bert, Crosby, Heer and Borden. On May 30. 1902. at Racine.
