Freight train mileage was 43 0,812, showing the average number of tons pe# train to have been 174,05 The number of passengers carried one mile per mile of line for therailways of tho entire country was 75,751 The number of tons of freight, carried one mile per mile of line was 457,245, These figures measure the density of traffie. If corrosponding figures bo given for the various groups wmto which the torritory of the country is divided, it shows that the number of pussengers cartied one mile per mile of livo in the New England states group I, was 233,530, and in the middle states, group II, 183,121, Tnis shows tho greater donsit in tho districts named. The number of tons of freight carried one mile per mile of line in the middle states was 1,848,107 and in In- diana, Ohio and in the southern perinsula of Michigan, group 111, it was 708,763; in Gulf states, group V, It was 304,365 and on the Pacific slope group X, it wis 101,506, These fizures show how diverse are the conditions, s0 far as deasity of traffic 18 concerned, un: der which the railways in various sections are operated, The revenue per passenger per mile of line for all the railways in the United Statos was 2.617 ceats; the average cost of carrying ono passenger one mile was1.917 cent. The revenue for carrying @ ton of freight one mile was .94l cent; the cost of carrying a ton of freight one milo was .60+ cent, The revenuo from a passenger of pessenger traftic train run one mile on all the railways in the United States was $1.05.041; the cost of running a passénger train one mile was 80.051 conts, Tho revenue from a freight train running one mile was £1.65.434; tho average cost of running a freight train one miln wus $L05.711. These figures show the margin from avtiich railways must secure their profits in the business'of transporting passengers and freight.

Theso figlres represent the averago of chirges and not the rates on any particular commodity or for any particular trip. Accidents, The total number of persons reported by railways as killed during the year was 6,240, and the total number reported as injured was 4. Of the total number killed 9,451 were employes, 255 passengers, and 5,384 were classed as “other sons.” In this latter ve included the large number of sui- 390 were yes, 2441 passengers, besidos 4,200 un- iied. " 1f tho number of omployes killed be assigned to the total nuwber, it appears that one death occurs for every 306 men em- vloyed on the railways, and one injury for every sixty-three en empioyed. The largest numver ’of casuaitics occur to mon engaged dircctly in handling trains. Thus, while trainmen rep- resent but 18 per cent of the total number of employes, the casualtios sustained by them account for 53 per cent of the total casualties. A passenger riding continuously at the rate of thirty ‘miks per hour wight expect immunity 4 from aeath by railway accident fof 1,700 years but an engineer, a brakeman or a conductor, under the same conditions, is liablo to a fatal accident at the end of forty years, The most common accident to which railway employes are liable rosults from coupling and unconpl- ing cars. The total number of casualties that can bo traced to this source are 8,210, of which 369 were fatal. D OF NE ENGIN CERS. Extracts from Commoilore Report. Wasmisaroy, D. C., Nov. Melville, chiof of the bureau of steam en- gincering, has submitted his annual report to the sccretary of the navy. After det ing the work accomplished duriug the p fiscal year and the condition of the ma- chinery of the vessels of the navy, the report touches upon tho needs of the various navy vards. By far the most important feature of the report is Commodore Melville's statement touching the personuel of the'engineer corps. Ho says: “It 1s with regret I am again compelled to report that the number of en- elville's gineer ofticers is insuflicient for the proper performance of the duties belonging to them, and to emphasize the fact that unless measures are at onca taken to remedy this condition ana to stop the steady docrease 1n numbers, we shall before long have a pamful awakening by a serious break- down or accident on some of our ves- sels, There is o limit to even & naval engineer's endurance; and while the ofticors of the engineer corps will do their best to make all needtul repairs and keep in efticient condition the magnificent machinery of the new vessels, from which the country justly expects so much, and in which it takes proper pride, they can 20 no further than the limit of their physicai strength. When this has been reached the machinery must tako care of itself.” Commedore Melville says that the number of engincer oficers shouid be at least 300, and even this number would be inadequate unless supplemented by a suficient number of intellizent and skilled ofticers and well trained firemer FLORID.

MUTUAL DISTRUST OF AUSTRIA AND ITALY Result in the Italitn Chamber of a Question Propounded in the Aus- trian Reichsrath — Belgie um's Singular Attitude, [Copyrighted 1991 by James Gordon Bemett.] Pams, Nov. 20.—|New York Herald Cable —Special to Tur Ber,]—The political world in Franco takes nostock in the solidity of the triple‘alliance. It is believed that in passing from theory to practice, the allies will no longor agree togother. At least so people argue, an argument that explains the close attention with which diplomacy follows the incidents taking placo yestoraay in Rome. There is ro attempt to hide the dissatisfac tion felt there on account of Austriu-Hun- gary, the cause thercof being the speech of M. Kalnoky, the Austrian prime minister. A Catholic deputy in the Austrian reichs- rath asked M. Kalnoky how a good under: standing botween tho pope and the Italian government coutd bo reached. M. Kalnoky replied that no one had yet found a solution of that problem. Thereupon the Ttalians took offense, and yesterday a deputy in the Italian lower chamber interpellated the marquis di Rudini, asking by what right the minister of an allied power spoke about an Italian question settled these many years by [taly.. The [talian premier replied that he did not see that any other power had taken any part in Italian affairs. The ofticial policy of Austria had always been satisfactory. The deputy retorted that even France considered the question of the papacy settled. The discussion was postponed until tomorrow, Italian touchiness on all questions con- nected with the papac; an agroement ou this question between Italy and Austria, consequently the alliance is always on tho point of dissolution. Italy dis- trusts Austria on the papal question; Austr suspects Italy on tbe irredentist question. When two persons who stand witn clasped hunds are always watching sach other to seo that they are not mutually robbed, there is makes impossible littlo chance that they will long remaiu united. A peculiar anti-Franch movement has started in Belgium. One would think that its instigators took the cue from Germany. Bilis were posted all over Brussels, protest- ing against the class books given to children, from which they learn to despise Germany. ‘The protest also appeared in Lo Rehin (newspaper), with a plan for initiating Bel- gium into the ways of German life and making known her truo friends. The symp- toms are regarded as signifying that Bal- gium is making proparations for future ovents, such as a violation of her neutrality in case of war. DISURD. IRIKERS. LY They Capture a French Mine and Defy the Authoritic: Paws, Noy. 20, —Eight hundred strikers aL River de Gier, after holding disorderly meetings and purades today, captured the Ague Grand mine and rebapuised it “Ber- tholet mine,” in memory of a former deputy of the Loire district.
