killed ], persons and injured q, ~
during the first three months Of this
year, according to a bulletin issued by
the Interstate Comnesc &c Commission
today. The electric railroads in the
same period killed IL and injured 669
persons. The figures show an increase
of 466 killed and 6, 10 injured over the
casualties for the same period OF last
year. The great increase was to large
extent attributable to an avalanche IN
the state Of Washington and a derall'
ment in Iowa, both in March. In these
two disasters 14l persons were killed
and 80 injured. Eliminating these ac-
cidents the record shows no remarkable
difference from the corresponding quar-

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
FRIDAY EVENING. AUG. ..

THa republican ship has been re-
tarded by storm warnings lately, and
there has been more or less confusion
among those at the helm In the midst
OF the anxiety incident to the funnel
shaped cloud of insurgency that did So
much damage in portions OF the west
ern country this week and while many
standpatters were about TO emerge
from storm cellars, Senator Gore at
Muskogee yesterday precipitated a sen
sation by his charges against Ren
higher up" naming Vice President
Sherman among several lesser lights
in the republican party who had,
the senator alleged, been plan
ming to add to their private capl-
tai by accepting considerations for
their influence in connection with coal
lands belonging to Indians. The
charges were made openly before a
congressional investigating committee,
and Senator Gore must have realized
the responsibility of such allegations.
The vice president and others against
whom these shafts were aimed have
positively denied the charges and have
bedecked themselves with the white
roses OF innocence. The country will
await with interest the outcome OF tins
last clap of thunder which has driven
the accused to shelter. This is the sec
ond time a republican vice president
has been charged with uSng his official
position for his own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
Schuyler COlfax over third Of cen
tury ago was cast into the same bed
with those who had fattened on credit
mobilier. He failed to live down the
odium cast upon him. VIII Mr.. Sher-
man prove more fortunate?

THE adjournment Of the BRUSH
Parliament will probably facilitate
rather than embarrass the nego-
tiations for an amicable settlement
Of the great constitutional questions
which have been ycxing the United
Kingdom. Between now and mid
November statesmen on both sides
will have opportunity for deliberate
and dispassionate thinking, and it is
scarcely conceivable that such coh-
sideration OF the matters at issue can
fail to produce useful results. The
"Mother of ParliamentS" is not going
To Stultify parliamentariSm.

THE negro pughst is still causing an
noyance. He is about TO invade the
fashionable section known as Brooklyn
Heights, it being, it said, his purpose
70 become a resident Of that section,
which has maintained It's exclusive
character for more than a century.
Johnson is negotiating for the purchase
OF house in that locality. 1t is I'M
derstood that Johnson. if the deal goes
through, will maintain the house in a
style corresponding to the prevailing
fashion in Brooklyn's exclusive social
community. Should he be excluded
from participation in affairs at the
Heights Casino, his prospective home
has a terraced front, stoOp large enough
10 accommodate an ordinary sized or
chestra and leave room for a cOtilllon or
a cakewalk. Another prospective

Beecher's old pulpit in Plymouth
Church and who once said that ne

with Henry Ward Beecher fought for
the emancipation OF the slaves, will
now feel that their predictions Of half
century ago regarding the possibilities
OF negro advancement have been full
filled.
