In going into the finances of the
different departments. 1 find that many
of them have gone far beyond the ap-
preparation made for these departments

the heads of the departments were ex-
travagant.
Deficits Reported.

FEAR OF WAR,
Moved English Railway Magnate to Concede the i
 Wishes of Strikers

London, Sept 21-Fear of war with Germany was what caused the speedy settlement of England's great railway strike. This fear was instilled into the minds of railway magnates by the
 British government.
 Although this information has been
 in the hands of number of London
 Newspaper editors for a week, none
 has yet seen fit to print it.
 Whether the government really be-
 lieved war to be imminent is not
 known. But the final argument used
 by the officials in their efforts to in-. duce the railway companies to agree
 to treat with the strikers was an ap-
 peal to their patriotism, as we'll as to
 their pocketbooks, is vouched for by
 one of the magnateS who participa ted in the various conferences. To quote
 his own words: i've were beaten by
 Europe"
 For two days the companies had held out obstinately In their determ-
 ination to refuse any sort of recogni- tion of the unions. The managers declined to meet the representatives of the Amalgamated Society of Rail- way Servants even in the presence of the government officials. Suddenly
 changed. The strikers committee was called into the government board of trade to sign up an agreement pro- viding for a settlement of the dispute by means of commission whose de- cisions should be binding even if ab- solute recognition of the unions should
 be involved. Sir Guy Granet, presi- dent of the great Midland railway, who had been particularly bitter in his denunciation of the strikers and who had declared only "A hours be- fore that he would see his road bank rupt rather than give in, was the first
 to put his name to the document The strike came at peculiarly CD. perfume time for the government to use the war argument The negotia- tions between France and Germany over the Morocco question had reach- ed the deadlock stage, and seemed | on the verge of being abandoned aI- l together. The tone of the German
 press had become blatant to the point
 of belligerency. and the feeling of glee
 in Berlin over Englandfs internal
 troubles was unmistakable
 The railway managers were quick
 to see the point

Maxim SiIencer Is Tested Out
 On Big Cannon

New York. Sept. 21.-Hiram Percy Maxim, inventor of the Maxim gun silencer which was tried upon guns at Sandy Hook two days ago, yester- day refused to discuss the Sandy Hook tests of the mechanism that was first fitted to small arms.
 ''The tests are a matter for the Government to give out from Wash ington, if it sees fit, or to keep quiet about, if it does not. For me to speak of it would not be proper.
 ..I can say, however, in regard to tests at Hartford, which were not pri- 'vate and which dozens of persons know about, that they were success full. Along the principles of the si- lencer for small arms one was manu- factured and tried on a field piece.
 s"The cannon in question was what is known as six-pounder, with a projectile twelve inches by three in- ches. The test was satisfactory in ev- erv respect. We shall start at once the manufacture of silencers for guns from three to fourteen inches in di- ameter.
 .eThese silencers will be sold to all the Powers, companies having been organized and patents obtained"

SNAPSHOTS OF THOUGHTS

Paris, Sept. 21-Major Darget. all ready known to fame for having pho- tographed rays emitted by human be ings, which he calls "" rays, IS now taking snapshots of thoughts.
 The major thought of a bottle. There was no bottle about; he simply formed a mental picture of bottle He concentrated his thoughts on that maginary bottle. He did his think ing in a dark room. His eyes were fixed upon a plate placed in dish of developer. His fingers were in the dish.
 At thef end of few minutes bot tie was reproduced on the plate. The major says it looks just like the bot tie he was thinking about.
 The picture has been exhibited be- fore the Academy of Science, together with another picture of another thought bottle taken under similar conditions and in the presence of six witnesses.
