Appeals Through United States Min.

Washington, Dec. 12.-The Chinese

Washington, Dec 12.-Secretary
Houston Of the department of agricul-

tho use of government cash or credits
The new bank law is aimed to pro-

requirements, but the needs of the
community beyond those cared for
under the federal law should be cared
for by a system Of "co-operative credit
associations" financed with private

government to announce that General
Christian Beyers, the rebel leader, had
been killed have been made public.
It appears that during a sharp en-

Beyers with some others endeavored
to cross the river. They were fired
on and Beyers was seen to fall from
his horse. His body drifted down the
stream and then disappeared under
water.

The One Day Railroad strike.

The Delaware and Hudson Company
had n poor case In Its recent contro-
versy with Its men. and the contro-
versy was one which, both from the
railroad point Of view and from that Of
the general public, should never have
been allowed to occur.
The engineer and conductor Of a
freight train were discharged beca ,,se
they hauled a derailed car three and
one half miles without discovering that
1t had left the track. In the modern
days of railroading, when freight trains
are hanled by high power engines ex-
erting an enormous propelling power,
such mishaps are not uncommon and
are not as readily discoverable by loco.

tors as they were In former days when
engines possessed less power and the
motion Of trains was less continuous
and easy. The engineer Of the LusI.
tania would not notice anything at all
out Of the way II the vessel. running
at full speed through the ocean. struck
a rOwboat.
In such a case as that which hap.

for sixty or ninety days The dis.
charge OF these employees meant the

The upshot Of the affair has been

public interest. 1t must necessarily
harden the faces Of railway employees,

dealings with their employers in the
future. We do not think there IL a
