RAIL FATALITIES DECREASE.

Washineton.-A report by the inter

quarter ending March 81 shows that rail
accidents have decreased over the like
period of last year. The number this
year is 65 killed and 1,972 injured. While
these figures tell ghastly story of de-
raiments caused by defective roadways,
broken wheels and broken rails, the num-
ber of fatalities has been reduced 100
per cent over last year. The number
of train accidents decreased 7S5 during
the same period.

WOULD DIVIDE AUSTRALIA.

Adelaide South Australia.-The sixth
annual labor conference, consisting of
federal and State public officials elected
by the labor party, voted that Australia
should be divided into larger number
of States. The sentiment prevailed that
decentralization was essential to the con-
troll of the government by the people.
One speaker said that there should be
1s or 20 States in the Australian con-
tinent, instead of the six that now exist.
