Busiest Railway Station.
From the Loudon Chronicle.

Which Is the busiest railway station IN
the world? One would naturally expect 10
find 1t In the worlds metropolis. but 1t is
located in city that has only a tenth of
the population OF London. Every day
10000 passengers pass through the
Flinders street station in Melbourne. Our
own Liverpool street station, according to
an Australian statistician. comes next
with 12S.OOO The reason for this ap-
parent anomaly is that in London and
other populous cities Of the northern
hemisphere the traffic Is split up among
various competing companies and sta
tions whereas In Melbourne, where the
railways are the property OF the state, 1t
Is concentrated on one spot.

Dead and Dying Everywhere.

All day of the 10Th and the next day
fighting around Groveton was fierce and
bloody. The railroad cut where the losss
were heaviest. was 1000 yards in the
rear of the Dogan house. Pope withdrew
on the night OF August 30 and the next
morning Mrs. Dogan and her children re-
turned to the farm. OF this the old wom
an said:
Funeral parties of both armies were
burying the dead. When the children
and l got back to what had been home
large parties of men were going about
gathering up the wounded and putting
them in rows in our yard or wherever
there was shade. There were hundreds
everywhere about the fields thickets and
along the fence lines. The children and l
took buckets of water and went out In
the field and did what we could for the
poor fellows. Most of the wounded in
this field were Yanks. but that didn't
make any difference after they were hurt.
All of our bed sheeting and table linen
went for bandages."

"The one thing that most strongly
impressed itself upon the mind Of
a careful observer in Europe at the
present time is the fact that the
continent of Europe does not like
the United States. They regard us
as bumptious people that ought to

When you determine on your cot
ton acreage this year, YOU who have
not yet done so, ask yourself the
question whose crop you are pitch
ing and intend to raise-your own
or someone clse's? Make up your
mind to raise nobody's cotton but
your won. If you can not put in
land enough for more than five bales
of cotton for yourself, put just that
much in and no more, and put the
balance of your land in corn and
oats and something to eat. There
is never a day in the year that
corn and oats will not sell and fetch
good prices. Every day you can
sell sweet potatoes, onions, cabba.
ges, pumpkins, peas and poultry,
eggs and butter, so see to II that
you raise enough of these things for
home consumption and to sell. The

ought to make your living off him,

ours. actuated by the 100000 900 of
gold which we took during Decem-
Der and January. The balance of
trade in favor of the United States
during November, December and
January was over S3OOOO0,0O0 and
every dollar of gold we took was
obtained by commodity bills, and yet
they seem to think that Europe loan
ed it to us as a matter OF favor.
1T is our growing Importance as
a naval and military power that
most distrubs them. II disturbs the
international balance of power as It
heretofore existed and upon which
their diplomacy has heretofore been
based Neither doesthe continent
of Europe like Japan and for SINH
lar reasons. Her recently achieved
naval and military prestige and her
English alliance have brought Japan
to the front in the family of nations
an aggressive force that must be
reckoned with within world politics.
1t calls a halt TO territorial acqui-
sition in the east, and from now
on is likely to mark recession in
European influence in Asia. Con.
comitant herewith, European com
merce is suffering a serious check
and Is bound in future in view OF
the wonderful commercial and adap
liability and activity of the Japanese
to encounter a competition hereto
fore unknown. The yellow peril"
that loomed in the earlier stages of
the Russo-Japanese war still stalks
the continent of Europe, although
it is no longer politics to proclaim
the same.
1T follows from this condition
of affairs that nothing would ba
contemplated with greater compla'
ceucy by the continental powers
than a war between the United
States and Japan. A taxing of the
strength and a wasting of the re-
sources of these two powers, not in
volving themselves, would tend to
restore their relative power and
precedence in the council OF nations.
This explains the repeated ru-
mors from Paris, Berlin and st. Pc
tersburg of difficulties between the
United States and Japan; the wish
is father to the thought, and the
continued preN ction of trouble IS
made in the hope of melting tho
same. They expected some disaster
to befall our fleet in its Pacific
cruise. They consider Admiral Ey-
ans as something of a swashbuck'
Ter and they regard the president as
impulsiye and they seem to have
really persuaded themselves that
disaster or complications must en-
sue. The fleet proceeded on its
Journey not only without mishap
but in n manner demonstrating ef
ficiency. The reception It received
has proved the wisdom of the cruise
and no one can fail to read from
! II the closer ties between the two
Americas, which must be of a great
| commercial and political advantage
in the future. Our European censors
are proportionately disappointed.
1T was never more apparent thar
now that the only European friend
we have is England. England il
the only European power that woult
not welcome a condition of affairs
that might bring to us disaster ol
defeat England's interests parable

our prestige would be alike prejudi

New York and Boston note brokers re-
veals the astounding extent of the lat

servatively estimated at $2,O00,000 IN
Boston operations alone.
The work of the gang compares well
with the famous Austin Bidweil case,
in which the Bank of England was
swindled out~of f1,000,000. 1t was de-
clared tonight that when the present
case is cleared up the amount of the
latest fraud will be found to rival the
English losses. The mode of operation
is similar and the success or the note
brokers' combination compares Well
with that of the English swindle.
Two prominent Bostonians whom the
authorities are tracing tonight have
fed. Another is closely watched, ana
tify his arrest. Still others who are
believed to be involved are being
watched by. the local authorities.
All of these note kiters are known
to have been allied with h. j. Dunning,
now in the Massachusetts state prison
for similar offepses.
Arrests are expected at any moment
here, and then, the authorities declare,
the roundup will be quickly made both

charming college romance of Harry
Norman Child. freshman of the col
lege of commerce at the state unlver-

is almost % years old. Miss Cummings
is nearly Is and pretty, and a member

They arrived at the courthouse steps
at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon and
stood there to discuss the next move.
Pale, but brave. they made the plunge
and walked into the county clerks Of

so easy on account of the county clerk

still while he photographed them.
Child raved, then begged. The girl
blushed and hid her head.

-Oh, what shall we do?" said the girl
We are discovered"

Finding that the newspaperman
would not be a party to the secret we'd
