New York.-Important steps are
soon to be taken in this city and else
where to establish a system OF com.
pulsory and accurate records OF the
enormous number OF persons who are
annually killed and injured IN Amer.
ica's vast army Of Industrial workers.
In New York city alone the meager
records obtainable are startling. In
1904 there were 4.l62 persons killed
In New York city through accident and
negligence as shown by the reports OF
the department Of health. and these
reports are said to be incomplete.
DIR. Josiah Strong. president Of the
Institute Of Social Service. in speaking
OF tha number of persons killed each
year ia our industrial occupations.
made some astonishing comparisons.
He said:
I'VE in the United States kill In
four years some 10000 persons-more
than fell in battle and died of wounds
during the four years Of the civil
war. We are killing more than twice
as many every year as perished by
violence in both the French and Eng.
lish armies during the three years Of
the Crimean war.
"E'here are more killed and wound.
ed on our railroads every year than
the entire lokses OF the Boer war on
both sides In three years. We have
Industrial casualties enough every
year to keep one conflict like our war
with Spain going for 1000 years or
IL such wars going for 100 years. Our
peaceful vocations cost more lives
eyecy two days than were lost in bat.
tia during the entire Spanish war.
From the best statistics obtain
ahe, NAV say there are to-day 575.-
0C1 persons in the United States IN.
der sentence Of death to be executed
at an unknown moment during the
next ten years-1.l00 next week and
the same number every week until
the CHASTITY work Is complete. An In
telligent and earnest effort would pro-
cure the reprieve of multitude OF
these innocent victims"
For two weeks beginning January
cs an exposition will be held In the
American Museum OF Natural History.
In this city under the auspices OF the
American Institute OF Social Service
for the purpose OF studying and ex.
hib!ting safety devices for dangerous
machinery. methods OF Industrial
hygiene and to set In motion the
movement to establish more accur-
ate record Of Industrial fatalities and
accident In all parts OF the country.
At present Wisconsin Ii said to be the
only state In the union where any Of.
fort Is made OF ofhcial compilation Of
these statistics.
In Europe there are several perma.
nent museums Of this character where
experts are constantly studying how
to safeguard Industrial employees and
as result the percentage Of death
and injury from accidents has been
greatly reduced. Ex-President Cleve-
land and many other prominent and
influential citizens are interested In
this movement.

CONSIDER TERMS LIBERAL
Japanese Opinion of New Convention
With Korea.

Toxic, July 26.-The manner in
which the news of the convention be-
tween Japan and Korea has been gen
orally received is Indicative of salts
faction. It is felt among the well in
formed that Japan might have been
more exacting in her terms, curtailing
even the Korean imperial authority by
suggesting the rescript subject to the
approval of the Japanese resident gen.
eral The avoidance of such q de-
mand, it is believed, was purely out
of consideration for the prestige of
the Korean court. The extension of
the power of the resident general so
that he may appoint his nominees to
responsible positions in the Korean
government is especially welcomed in
Japan as one of the surest means of
preventing the adoption Of any meas
ure hostile to the Japanese or detri-
mental to the interests of Korea. II
is expected that the freer hand Japan
is now able to exercise in Korea will
socn be manifested by the peaceful
DEVELOPMENT Of the peninsula and the
maintenance of order in the Far East.

REFUSED TO ASK MERCY.
Woman Terrorist Privately Executed
at Moscow.

Moscow, July 26.-With the observ-
ance of the greatest privacy Madame
Fromkina, who in March last at
tempted to assassinate General Rhein-
bot, the. ex-prefect of police, and who
In May made an attempt to murder
the inspector of the political prison
here, wounding him with a pistol
which had been mysteriously SNUG
gled into her cell, was hanged in this
city at sunrise.
The authorities made every effort
during the past fortnight to persuade
the woman to plead for the mercy Of
the emperor, but this she obstinately
refused to do. Her parents interceded
with the throne in her behalf, but
their efforts were unavailing.
Madame Fromkina was not charged
with actual murder, but was accused
of making several ineffectual attempts
to kill officials. It Is believed that her
mind was unbalanced and that she
suffered from hysteria.
