It is known now that the immediate occasion for the recall of Crane was an article in the Washington special correspondence of the Chicago-ltecord Herald Sept. evidencing a some what minute acquaintance with confi dential matters supposed to lie1 known only by responsible officials in the state department and presumably by Crane, relative to the attitude of the United States government toward tlte two treaties recently concluded be tween China and Japan.

NUMBER GROWS YEARLY Leading Companies Hand Together to Secure lOnfoiTeiiient of Imxv to Mitigate Danger. Trespassing on railroad properly in violation of law has been responsible for the death of 47,416 people in the United States during the last 10 years, according to a compilation made by the Pennsylvania railroad. In the same period more than 50,000 trespassers were injured. Seven thousand trespassers were kill ed on the lines of the Pennsylvania itself. As the Pennsylvania reported that for the calendar year 1008 not a passenger had been killed on the 2?. 000 miles of its system, these figures may explain the incredulity with which similar reports were received in some quarters from the western railroads. In view of these facts many of the important railroads have determined to redouble their efforts to secure in this country that rigid enforcement ef the; law against trespassing which in Kngland has reduced the practice and accidents to trespassers to a minimum. ;rinluK I'.nrli Vrnr. The number of people killed while trespassing on railroads lias been steadily increasing every year. In IXIiIt 4,0(;:5 trespassers lost their lives on American railroads; five years later the number was 5,0"0, and in llMi? the number killed was 5,012, more than 13 each day.
