Where One Flasmnn Failed.
The hagman OF the Overland Express.
on the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy
Railroad was TO blame. primarily, for the
accident at Western Springs, ILL.,. on the
18th Of last July. The train was stopped
by signal early during the morning In a
fog 1t was being followed by the Fast
Mail. The trains. so our investigation
showed. were about nine minutes apart.
The f1agman. at the official hearing Of the
case. said that he went back as far as he
could and that he ran part of the way.
He put down two torpedoes, 30 feet
from the rear end Of his own train. On
his way back. the Fast Mail passed him
at fifty miles an hour. and a moment
later ran into the Overland Express. which
had not begun to move, killing eleven
passengers and two employees. and in
juring twenty-six passengers and two EN-
ployes.
THE trains. remember had been about
nine minutes apart In a test. after the
accident. it was found that a fagman. At
a brisk walk. could have gone back 2.A7
feet in six minutes. 1t was learned, also.
that the fiagman Of the Overland Express
put two torpedoes on the rail, which was
simply a cautionary signal. whereas he
should have used but one torpedo. which
would have been a signal for the Fast
Mail to stop.
There should be drastic and plain rules
governing the conduct of flagmen. Under
the most favorable circumstances Of day.
light and a straight track. they should be
required to go back not less than 1900
feet and when signaled in should invari-
ably leave torpedoes on the track. Trains
on the way would be slowed down in con-
sequence and trains waiting for the re-
turn Of nagmen would be delayed in get
ting started again. but safety to life and
property would be increased. Torpedoes
are not always used, simply because 1t
takes a little time to place them on the
rail. The engineman has blown his whis-
tie. the conductor Is impatientiy looking
down the line and the hagman. catching

Morgan Likes Old Photos Best.

]. p. Morgan's reluctance for posing
for the camera was explained by Fred

kunst told some delightful stories of Gen

and Edwin Booth.
Looking at one Of the old portraits of
Mr.. Morgan. the aged artist said:
1T Is not that Mr.. Morgan hates pho
tographers. but that he imagines that
he is not as good looking as he was
years ago. He wishes his old pictures
preserved for future use and taken for
the correct likeness of himself as he IL
to-day. rather than pictures that show
the change that has come over his face

Is as old as Noah. and the birds were

provisional government. The moment,
in fact, has not arrived, although the
contingency has been foreseen and
provided for. The special commission
in a headquarters staff with powers
to make plans to meet any emergency
and to determine upon questions OF
policy that may suddenly arise.
From their secret deliberations In
the Ulster Hall the delegates went
to luncheon at the Botanic Gardens.
Here one had an opportunity of see
ing what manner. of men they were
to whom Ulster has committed such
grave issues. For comparison must
go to the Imperial Parliament at
Westminster. 80.
Here were men of all ranks and
callingS, men of evident capacity and
experience. 1t has been said that revo-
buttons are begun by youth and ire
sponsibility In this remarkable gath
erlng were young men, but there was
none who did not carry with him an
air of experience and responsibility.
But the great majority were men of
mature years, men of position and
substance who would be the last in
any community to enter rashly upon
any desperate enterprise unless their
most vital interests were at stake.
Such a company could not fail to con-
vince the most sceptical of the deter
minaticn of Ulster to move from indif-
ference anyone who doubted the sim
cerity Of this protest, With such an
audience no appeal to passion could
be necessary These hard-headed men
know of the risks before them and
have counted the cost of resistance.
Lord Londonderry presided. AS the
descendent of Lord Castlereagh, who
carried the Act Of Union, he had ira
ditional claims upon Irish Unionists
and the energy he has displayed in
the cause has confirmed him in the
confidence of the people.
But the hero of the assemblage was
their leader, Sir Edward Carson.
Even those who do not scruple to de-
ncunce Sir Edward as a rebel and a
traitor cannot dispute the energy and
enthusiasm and skill with which he
has conducted the great campaign.
What he has done he has done with
ali his might, both of head and heart.
That he has the complete confidence
Of the people cannot be questioned
They are ready to follow witherso-
ever he may choose to lead them His
reception by the delegates was strik-
ing testimony to the hold he mas upon

FIRST Signatures to the Covenant.
Beifast--Monday.
If courage and enthusiasm, if devo-
Iion to leader, If foresight and pre-
paration are the conditions or victory,
then Ulster must win.
Some people may imagine that
where so much fervor and energy are
manifest there can be little prepare
ton. They are mistaken. This Is
no forlorn hope of desperate men; it
is an organized campaign in which
nothing has been left to chance.
When the day of battle comes, II

forces ready and the plan of action

Yesterday the standard of Ulster
received the blessing of the Church.
Today the council of war assembled
and arrived at certain grave Conclu-
siens, If these martial metaphors
sound Ike picturesque exaggeratlons,
the impression is due to distance,
Here they are commonplaces, for they
undoubtedly describe both the temper
and the atmosphere of the Province
of Ulster.
This morning 450 men met in the
Ulster Hall They came from every
part of the province, from every town
and hamlet, AID from every country
side. They were elected representa-
.tives, invested with authority to
pledge the word and the action OF
every Unionist in Ulster To this
council of war was submitted by the
Marquis Of Londonderry a resolution
binding them in a solemn league and
covenant to maintain the Union with
Great Britain, and promising each 10
the other that to the utteTmost or the
strength and means given US. and not
regarding any selfish or private in
terests, our substance, our lives, we
will make good the solemn covenant"
Each member OF the Council alp
pended his name 10 The covenant,
which will be signed by hundreds OF
thousands 81 the end Of the week.
The council also ratified and confirm
ed the steps taken by the special
commission to carry en- its work TO
