WHY YOU OUGHT TO JOIN.

The Spirit of the Board of Trade.

The Board of Trade is an organization to promote harmony and good will in our business relations and transactions with one another, and to secure concert of action in all matters having for their object the building up and improvmeat of our city in its manufacturing, industrial, and other commercial relations. It is also interested in whatever will improve the social and educational interests of the city, and whatever will beautify and develop the advantages of Terre Haute as a city to live in or transact busi-

ness in.

Either we are receiving very unfair and one-sided reports of affairs in Egypt or the battles that have been fought lately are the most wonderful in the history of warfare. The pro portion of losses is out of all reason.

The Fitz John Porter bill passed the senate yesterday, hut with an omond ment which will necessitate its return to the house for concurrence before the president is called upon for the part he is to take in regard to the most discussed measure ever before con gress.

There was considerable ef a contest among the Republicans of New York over the selection of a chairman of the local campaign committee. Mr. John J. O'Brien, who was opposed by the "half breeds," as they were formerly called, was elected and it was thought there was danger of a split, or at least that the so-called "half breeds" would become apathetic in the campaign The leading men of this branch of the party, however, have been iuterviewed and they thoroughly diBpel any such supposition, sayiug they intend to do all in their power for the good of the Republican ticket.

The effort of the Western Press Association to pocket the news for forty-eight hours, as exclusive property, Is a fair specimen of the cheek of an over-grown monopoly. The W. P. A. should be cut In two.

The above is from a newspaper that uses the plate telegraph which is furnished by the sneak press association, and the statement is about as fair as any that is made in opposition to the copy-right bill. The effort is to copy, right the news for eight hours, merely long enough to prevent the duplication of it by newspapers that appear almost simultaneously with those which are at the expense of gathering the news. The eight hours limit does not prevent an afternoon paper copying the news of a morning paper nor a morning paper copying the news obtained and published by an afternoon paper. It is by such misrepresentation as the above that the opponents of the measure expect to secure its defeat. A fair and frank discussion of the facts can not be undertaken by them without disclosing the sneak steal, of which the general public has a very limited knowledge.

The attorney general has called the attention of the United States distiict attorneys and marshals to sections 5354, 5355,4278 and 4279 of the Revised Statutes, which regulate the shipment of explosives and the punishment for the infringement of the law. The offr cials are instructed to be diligent in their efforts to prevent the offenses against the laws. The attorney general referring to the occasion for issuing the instructions says: By the direction of the president I have to inform you that it is reported that certain" persons are aiding in the prosecution of heinous crimes, by shipping to foreign ports explosives, dangerous in the highest degree to life and property. No proof has been adduced that this rumor is founded upon fact, and the president cannot believe its truth. The honor of this nation, however, requires that it should not be open to imputation, unfounded though it be, of the slightest appearance of tolerating such crimes, whether to be committed against our people or those of other countries."

By appearing in the reichstag and makiog along explanation of his conduct in returning the Lasker resolution BiBmarck admits that he is not satisfied with his position in that matter. His explanation differs from his letter returning the resolution, which letter would have sufficed for him if he had not arrived at the conclusion that he was in a very sorry predicament. His speech, yesterday, disclosed the hatred he bore Lasker, a feeling which he could not hide though his enemy is in the grave. It was, no doubt, the bitterness of his animosity toward Lasker that made him do what he did respecting the resolution of the bouse of representatives. Ho could not tolerate the idea of any one expressing kindly sentiments for the man toward whom be felt such bitter hatred. His speech will be found in the telegraph this morning as will comments made upon it by members of the house committee on foreign affairs, who will report on the resolution to-day. ?•$"

TO EUROPE BY RAIL.

A Boston Visionary Proposes to Ran a Railway to Alaska and Siberia. Washington Special.

Washington is the very paradise of visionary people, but no scheme, however visionary, that has been proposed here quite equals the plan of George P, Shire, formerly of the army, but now a mining engineer in Boston. He is here trying to get up a company for the connection of the Northern Pacific railroad with Alaska. He says that the mining regions of the section to be opened up by this proposed line will fully warrant its building. He also believes that a system of snow-sheds can be devised by which the tracks can be protected from the heavy snowfalls of the severe winters. But Gen. Shire would not have his line stop at Alaska. He says that the Russians are already beginning to cross Siberia with railroads, and it is only a question of time when St. Petersburg will be connected by rail with the coast at Behring'e strait. China will in time have a railroad line along the eastern coast. General Shire would have the ferry boats connect at the narrowest point of Behring's strait with the two railroad lines, when the water was open, while huge sleds could be used in the winter. When all this is brought about passengers can take a Pullman car through for Europe for at least six months in the year. General Shire believes the European traffie would be heavy. Many people do not go to Europe because of their fear of the sea. The greater time required for an all-rail trip to Europe would be compensated by a variety of scenes and the greater safety insured. All-rail to China would be possible under this system. General Shire believes that this railway project is one of the things certain to occur in the next twenty-five years.

Miss Terry in Washington. Washington Letter. Miss Terry, during her stay here, has been the guest here of Miss Olive Risley, the adopted daughter of William H. Seward, who accompanied him on his travels around the world and edited his journals of that trip. Miss Risley-Seward owns a quaint and pretty old home here, and during a recent visit to England she made the acquaintance of Miss Terry, and invited her to become her guest when she came to America. Many ladies have been invited to meet Miss Terry, and they have all come away quite fascinated by this London actress, and raving over the wonderfully picturesque gowns that she wears. At a lunch party she wore a white pong robe embroidered in yellow and looped over a yellow petticoat, but draped and arranged in such an inscrutable and artistic way as to defy the ordinary eye.

"Indeed, replied the young man, evidently very much pleased, "and what part of the pies does your sister make "She cracks the cosoanuts with her teeth."

WISE AND OTHERWISE.

memory's dream.

No matter how often love's sunniest gleams Light the past seeing Blnmber of memory's dreams, i, .. The shadows dim following silently fall, And rain bitter tears of regret o'er it all. Before our fond vision some dear friend we trace. With a smile which, of old, we had know on his f£ce.

Ail the beautiful past is revealed, but we crave. In our foolish affection, the lost of the grave. And so, in my dreaming, a summer long fled Comes back with the blue of its sky overhead, And the love of my boyhood to thrill me again, I hear her sweet voice singing softly the strain Of each tender old song that may tell me anew That always and ever her love shall be true. But she with the bliss of that summer is gone Life sings their lost truth in a sad undertone, And the light of its dreams with the light of its day Are chased by the rain and the shadows away. .* —[John S.

A Manager's Bad Luck.

Easton (Pa.) Special to Philadelphia Press. Manager Collins, of the Frederick Warde Dramatic company, said tonight he had no idea that Warde intended leaving him until Saturday, after the performance, when Warde told him that he would start for New York in the morning, not to return to the company. The contract between Collins and Warde was for four years, and this is the twenty-ninth week of the third year. There had been engagements made for thirty-two weeks next year. Mr. Warde received $50 a week above all expenses, and was to receive a certain part of the net proceeds at the end of the fourth year. From this the $50 each week was to be deducted. The season had not been prosperous the first two years, and Mr. Collins lost over $20,000. Mr. Warde was dissatisfied at not making more money, but said nothing of leaving. He was indebted to his manager $6,000. Mr. Collins feels keenly Warde's actions, and he had brought out Warde and the latter was just beginning to make himself known. W. E. Sheridan has been eng^-od to take Warde's place, and joins the troupe at Detroit March 20.

East Bound Freight Rates Reduced.

Yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock telegrams were received in this city by several of the local freight agents, informing them that the east-bonnd freight rate on goods of the eighth class, between Chicago and New York, has been reduced from thirty to twenty cents per hundred pounds. Cereals and flour constitutute the eighth class, and are the heaviest class of eastern shipments. A reduction from thirtyfive to twenty-five cents has been ordered on the seventh class, which contains nails and iron of all kinds, and is the only car-load rate outside of staves and lumber, and consequently one of the most important classes. Staves, which are shipped on a thirty cent basis from Chicago to New York, remain the same, as also the lumber rate, constituting the tenth class.

An Express reporter, in conversation with one of the leading local freight agents, asked, "Were you expecting this reduction?" "Yes, I might say I was. I have been looking for some move of this kind for the last four or five days, con sequently I was not much surprised."

What effect will this reduction have on the roads and their freight traffic?" was the next question asked. "Well, in short, it will be a losing game for many of them yes. nearly all of them. It has been claimed that goods of the eighth class can be hauled at sixteen cents a hundred and some little profit be made, but this has never been proven, and I doubt very much that it ever will. The present rate of twefity cents is entirely too low to be profitable, and will not, as is generally thought, increase the business to any extent. Our merchants were perfectly willing to ship at a thirty cent rate if they were sure that others were getting no better. The reduction was made in order to 'even up' the points like Peoria, St. Louis and Chicago, where the trunk lines havejbeen cutting. You see

lineB

that

have been strictly maintaining rates have been doing nothing since this cutting commenced. They could do nothing and maintain rates. Shippers usually ship by the line that gives them the best rate, but now that the rate has been reduced to the lowest cut, this will once more put all lines on an equal footing." "Do you think the reduction w^ be permanent?" waB the next question. "No, I do not think it is a fixed rate for the simple reason that it is not paying the roads, and railroads do not usually carry either passengers or freight at a loss for any length of time. I think the rate will be raised to 25 cents on eighth class goods and 30 cents on goods of the seventh class. At that rate they would make some profit." "What is the local freight outlook?" "With all the miners out and the rates down, things look blue indeed."

A representative of one of the largest fast freight lines was next seen by the reporter. To a question re garding the reduction he said: "I do not know much about this matter as yet, but I do know if the rates are lowered much more this line will be withdrawn until such time that it can earn a respectable interest on its investment."

A leading business man was next seen: "All we want is a fair and quitable rate for our shipments, but above and beyond all things else we want a regular rate. So much uncertainty in rates is very disastrous to us, and has caused the downfall of many substantial firms."

Local Mention.

The Yandalia west-bound passenger No. 1 was delayed two hours yesterday, on account of its eastern connections.

In the six months ending March 1, the E. & T. H. moved north 13,956 bales of cotton against 13,766 last year.

Travel to the west continues very heavy. Through western trains over the Vandalia are avraging from nine to thirteen cars.

In the year 1883 the C. I. St. L. & C. and the Yandalia carried between Cincinnati and St. Louis 10,320 passengers, on an average of 860 per month.

The invitations for the semi-annual convention of the General Passenger and Ticket Agents' association, which convenes at the Burnett house, Cincin nati, on the 18th inst., are out, and very elegant ones they are, too, being very stylish and costly. With each invitation one or more complimentary tickets of the lines entering Cincin nati are enclosed. They, too, are gotten up in the most elegant style, showing that the cost w8s not considered in their manufacture. All the tickets ai good for 30 days, giving the boys, who attend, plenty of time to "take in the town The success of the convention is fully assured, as there will be between three hundred and four hundred delegates present. It is thought that one representative will be in attendence from Terre Haute.

Mr. J. R. Wood, general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania company, has, on behalf of that corporation, presented to the grand lodge of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, whose headquarters are established in this city, two elegant engravings representing the celebrated "horse-shoe'' -curve and the noted "pack saddle," on the line of the Pennsylvania, a few miles west of Altoona. They are "real things of beauty," consequently they must be a "joy forever."

A meeting of the managers of all the lines forming the Decatur freight pool was held yesterday. Mr. A. E. Shrader, traffic manager of the Illinois Midland, was in attendance in the interest of that company, who put in a claim, that, notwithstanding the Midland delivers as much business in Decatur as the P. D. and E, they have only been allowed 10 per cent, of the business while the P. D. and E., have been receiving 15 per cent. For sometime past all the other lines have been in favor of reducing the P., D. & E. to 10 per cent, and increasing the Midland to at least 15 par cent, and some of the managers thought that 20 per cent waB not too much to allow the Midland. The P., D. & E. has all along been sternly opposing this contemplated change, bat with no very decided effect. Yesterday all the P., D. & E. forces were marshalled to the front, yet it availed them nothing, and their per cent, wasj reduced to 10 and the Midland was increased to 15, which is a more equitable division.

Mr. J. R. Kendall, assistant general freight agent, and Mr. N. X. Elliot, master of transportation of tbe Vandalia line,, left last evening for a tour of business and inspection over the Logan division. They will return in two or three days.

Mr. E. R. Bryant, the representative of the Star Union.fast freight line at this point, has just returned from his duck hunt. Mr. B. is an excellent shot and had no trouble in "downing" the birds, but had considerable difficulty in finding them after being killed. Nevertheless he managed to bag a baker's dozen.

The Board of Trade.

The membership of the Board stead ily increases, many going to the rooms to give in their names. The following were added yesterday:

C. F. Putman. K. M. Lewis, Mdse. broker. J. C. Watson, plumber and steam fitter, J. W. McClain, architect. Wm. H. Wiley, Sup.t. public schools. The meeting of millers and grain dealers last night was attended by all of the trade with very few exceptions. The committees to represent this interest in the standing committees of the Board of Trade were nominated. The inspection of grain and the appointment of a grain inspector, very important matters to the trade, were diBcussed.

The convenience of the Board of Trade rooms for meetings by the different local business interests is apparent. There will often be occasion for the assemblage of business men and as most of them are, or will be, members of the Board they will use the convenient and accessible Board of Trade rooms.
