RATIFYING TIIE AGREEMENT

Probability that All the Western Roads, gave One, Will Sign It as Amended. Interstate Commissioner Walker Unanimously Tendered the Chairmanship of the Executive Board The Changes Made. Chicago, Jan. CO. -The presidents of the Western railroads, after being in session just one week, completed their work of revising the great agreement which is to form tho basis of tho Interstate-commerce Railway Association, and adjourned this evening, subject to the call of tho chairman. Tho last thing they did before adjourning was to declare themselves unanimously iu favor of making A. P. Walker chairman of the executive board. Mr. Walker is at present one of the members of the Inter-etate-commerce Commission, and while Lis celection is a surprise to all tho prophets -who have undertaken to name tho person on whom this honor would fall, everybody s ready to concede that a better or more judicious choico could not have been made. Since the avowed object of tho association is the enforcement of the provision of the interstate-commerce law, the selection of a man in Mr. Walker's position to administer its affairs will, no doubt, be accepted as a guaranty of sincerity. Besides, Mr. Walker's course as a member of tho commission has been such as to convince railroad men of his ability to easily grasp all the intricate details of the traffic and rate affairs, to conectly interpret the law and to decide knotty questions. The greater part of today's session was taken up in considering the merits of the respective candidates for the chairmanship. Many names were presented, among them those of C. C. Wheeler, P. P. Vining, J. W. Midgley, R. S. Hayes, and then. Several of the candidates developed considerable strength, but as the. agreement specifically provides that tho chairman of the executive board must be elected by a unanimous vote, one opposing vote was sufficient to defeat any candidate. After a good deal of disenssion and fruitless balloting, some one in the meeting was visited with a bright idea, and the name of A. P. Walker was presented. The result was a unanimous vote in his lavor, and he was declared tho choice of the meeting. Final action, of course, will not be . taken until the agreement has received tho signatures of all the companies that are parties to it. The document is now ready to sign, and a committee was appointed to obtain the signatures of twenty-two roads that now constitute the list. The two other members of the executive board, beside Mr. Walker, are, by resolution, to be elected by tho board of managers. Sir. Walker was notified by wire of the action of the meeting, ana it was generally believed that he would accept. The qnestion of salary has not been considered, but it is not likely that the pay will be less than $25,000 a year, while the salary of an interstate-comnierco coininiseioner is but $7,500. The position of the Chicago, Burlington & Northern remains unchanged. It has not consented to sign the agreement, except on condition that the northern lake routes be brought into it: but, on the other hand, the road has not absolutely refused to sign. -The officials of the company have the matter under consideration, and itwas generally regarded to-night as almost certain that they will eventually yield. There seems to be little doubt that all the other roads will sign without resistance, and that , the Illinois Central will rigidly adhere to the terms of the agreement whether it signs or not. Presidents Hughitt, Cable and Strong constitute the committee appointed to secure the signatures. In the amended document, which is now given to the public, the original agreement of the presidents, known as the agreement of Jan. 1, is taken from the body of tho contract and placed at the head as a prelude or introduction. This is followed by the articles of agreement, the first of whicn defines the objects of tho association, and the second thp construction of the board of managers, etc. Article 3 is amended to read as follows: "A rate committee, appointed by the board of managers for the freight and passenger departments, shall be constituted, whose province it snail be to establish rates, rules and regulations on the traffic subject to this association, and to consider changes therein, and make rules for meeting competition with outside lines. Their conclusion, when unanimous, shall bo mado effective -when they so order; but, if they ditter, the question at issue shall be referred to the board of managers, and if they disagree it shall he arbitrated by the executive board as hereinafter provided. Notwithstanding the decision of the arbitrators the company claiming the right to make any particular rate may, after such decision, make such rate on ten days' notice." Article 4, relating to divisions of through rates, is also amended. It provides that the divisions of through rates shall bearranged through the association, tho intention being that the bidding for business by means of private concessions shall cease, and that tho divisions on correspondinir traffic shall be open to and alike by all lines; provided, however, that when one road has a proprietary interest in another the divisions between such roads shall bo what they may elect, and shall not bo the property of the association; provided, further, that as regards the traffic contracts at, this date actually existing between "lines not having common proprietary interests, the same shall be reported, so far as tho divisions are concerned, to the association, to the end that division with competing lines may, if thought advisable by them, be made on eaually favorable terms. The penalty clause is bo changed as to provide that $100. instead $250, shall be tho minimum line for each violation of tho agreement, but, in addition, it provides that the company so convicted shall forfeit the revenue received by such violation. In cases of violations in which proceedings have been taken under the rules of auxiliary associations, and penalties collected, proceedings may be had under this article, m order to finally determine responsibility, but penalties previously collected shall not be assessed a second time. Article 12 is amended by striking out tho clause providing that an employe, after once being discharged for intentional violation of the rules of tho agreement, shall not be re-employed by any road in the association. Article 13 defines the territory to be covered by the association as follows: The business to be covered by this agreement jhall be all the State and interstate traffic, both freight and passenger, which is competitive between tho parties hereto, or any twoornioro of them, which business has origin or destination in tho States of lllifcois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wisconsin and Minnesota, and the Territories of Utah, Wyoming, Dakota, .ew Mexico, Montana and tho Indian Territory, except Pacific coast business, now covered under the present agreement of the Transcontinental Association lines, lexas business now covered under tho present agreement of tho International Association lines, and business passing between points north of tho Ohio river and point south of tho Ohio river, both of hich aie east of the Mississippi river. By unanimous action of the managers of the interested lines, any traffic may be included in this agreement or exempted from ,t' I'or th purpose of considering matters 'bich particularly affect lines in any given territory, the association may bo divided into sections by the board of managers, and lor the consideration of subjects, solely concerning these sections, separate meetings may be held. Article 14 provides that the board of managers, by unanimous vote, shall elect an auditor and treasurer who may bo the samo person, and who shall have charge of the ttatifttical information. 1 he amendment to the arbitration article provides that questions on which the board of managers fail to agree shall be referred y the executivo board, composed of tho chairman and two others chosen from the chairmen of auxiliary associations. lho duration of the agreement is to be absolutely ninety days from Jan. 1. m, jubject to thirty daynr notice thereafter of um desire of any party to withdraw from or amend the same, and in case any sueh notieo fthall bejrivcu, tho chairman of tho ft

cxecntivo board shall forthwith call tho presidents together to consider the matter. A special article provides that tho Wabash becomes a party to this agreement only for that portion pf its road from Chicago to Last fet. Louis and Hannibal, via Tolono, All.

There are rumors of another iniunction suit beincr brought. H. Bennett, who, on tho first of this editor of the Kailroad Gazette, with headquarters at Chicago, is spending a; day or two in this city, forming an acquaintance With triA Tnilrr-oi-l man C.N.Clark, the newlr-elected nreshlent; of the Cleveland. St. Louis & Kansas Citv road, is in Alton, 111., arranging for terminal facilities at that noint. lie savs that trains will bo running between Alton, 111., The Evansvillo Journal savs that thft right of way of the projected road from Vinccnues to Owensboro, Ky., known as tho Vincennes, Oakland City & Owensboro road, has nearly all been secured, and the road will be pushed to completion as early us possioie. General freight agents are receiving nu merous inquiries regarding rates on ice, to oe snipped irom iar JNorthem points to Southern markets. Present indications are that the north-and-south lines are to iret more money out of this traffic than in any lonner year. The New York Central road is trvinir the patent Pillar clocks, which indicates tho length of time between trains. When a train passes one of these clocks the single hand Hies back to zero and then travels slowly ahead until the next train comes along and sets it. Six of the new encrinea which the Hem line has ordered are to bo built at the Schenectady locomotive-works. Three of them are to bo heavv nassentrer enirincs. which will be placed on the Indianapolis division of the liec-line proper to haul tho heavy express trains. E. II. Babcoek. formerlr ceneral manacrer of the Kvansvillo & Terre ilauto road, who a few years ago went to Calif ornia for the benefit of his health, has becomo verv wealthy through the purchase of a tract of land known as Coranado island, ou which he has built a $100,000 hoteL On the 10th of next month, the Pennsyl vania Company will nut on a Pullman sleeping car to run between Indianapolis and Washington. It will be hauled out of here on tram No. 20, leaving Indianapolis at 3 P. M., and will land passengers in Washington a little after noon tho next day. II. W. Gavs. formerly crenernl. freicrlit agent of the 1. & St. L. road, now general manager of the Wiggins Ferry Company. at oi. ijouis, is maKing an excellent record in his last field, having reduced the operating expenses S3 per cent., and increased the gross earnings iJ5 per cent., while the net earnings show np proportionately well. Tho bill before the Legislature of Ohio. making 2 cents per mile the rate on passengers carried over the lines in that State has been shelved. It was found that it would crinwle tho nasseneer service. Another bill to classify roads, making 2 cents a mile the rate on some of the larger ones, and not disturbing the rate on the weak lines, has also been shelved as being inconsistent. Freight men are patiently waiting for steady cold weather to solidity the country roads. Until within tho last three days Illinois and Indiana have been seas of mud whero there are no gravel roads. What troubles tho freight men most is that unless business revives soon the grain crop of 1S6S will benefit the water routes more than it will tho railroads. E. S. Corthell. consultine encineer in the construction of tho Eatfs jetties at New Orleans, is spending a uay or two in tne city, examing the plans of tho new Union Station here, and also learning the plan on which the Belt road was built and the methods by which it is operated. At New uneans a new union station is xo oe ounc and a belt road, much tho character of ours is to be constructed. President Porter, of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois road, is in tho East. Ho tells tho friends of the property that the business of tho road holds up much better than the management Jiad anticipated, in view of the mildness of tho winter, which has so seriously cut down the volume of the coal traffic, 'ine usual quarterly dividend has been declared, and there is still a hand some surplus in the treasury. One of tho favorable features of tho railroad situation is that the roads now reporting earnings are doinr: so upon a very small additional number of miles. Apart from the action of the presidents and bankers the railroad results since Jan. 1 are good. In the third week of January twent3'-six roads show an increase of 20 1-2 per cent, in gross earnings and for the second week of the month sixty-six roads show an increase of 8 1-2 per cent. The fact seems to be settled that the Evansvillo & Kichraoud railroad is to be built by way of Sej'iuour, although the people of Columbus are protesting vigorously against that route. Chief Civil Engineer C. S. Slayback, of Evansville, is now engaged in inspecting the country which the road will traverse between Columbus and Seymour. It is understood that ho will make a favorable report. General passenger agents and ticketscalpers are watching with a good deal of interest what action Congress will take regarding tho recommendation of the Interstate Commissioners on excursion and commutation tickets and on the matter of paying commissions. The commission recommends that tho act be so amended as: First, to define what shall be considered excursion and commutation tickets; second, to prohibit all payments of commissions on sale of tickets and all sal of tickets for interstate business, except by regular agents of carriers; third, to require carriers to provide for tho speedy and convenient redemption of unused tickets or coupons. The successful operation of the interstate law is to a considerable degree hindered bv the fact that the Canadian roads are not subject to its provisions. Considerable business has been diverted to Canadian roads, which have been able to ofier lower rates than American roads. The tea shipments are but one of tho important items which tho former have secured by ottering lower rates. Formerly tho Ame-icau transcontinental lines carried large quantities of tea from San Francisco to the Eastern markets, but a Canadian subsidized steamship lino aud a Canadian state-aided railroad, which is untrammeled with the interstate law and the regulated charges resulting from it, are rapidly securing the cream of this business. Such competition, says an old freight man, is unfair to American roads. Harry Crawford is in the city, engaged in the pending suit as to the ownership of the Indianapolis, Decatur & Springfield elevator. In commenting on the railroad situation, he said: "The almost unanimous action of the presidents of the leading loads in the country is tending toward a better maintenance of rates, and that ought to bring new money into the empty treasuries of manv roatts. A slight increase in rates wouldwith the large volume of traffic to be carried duriug the year bring in a large revenue in tho aggregate, without reallv being felt by tho shipper, and it wotifd certainly insure tho maintenance of the reduced dividends of the Western roads, beidesfiiabliugthem toget rid of numerous Hoating debts and other financial embarrassments which aro worrying many of tho companies."

AWARDED TO AN INDIANA COOTANY.

The Soldiers1 Momument Shaft to Be Constructed by Terre Haute Contractors. Yesterday afternoon tho Soldiers' Monumeut Commissioners opened tho bids for tho construction of the main shaft of tho monument. Thirteen were received, several of them having been placed with tho commission some weeks ago. The bids aro as follows: John Bogle, by E. g.

Grmdell, for Indiana Stone-sawing Company, Chicago, 111 -An David Keed, Chicago, I1L Ife0,o00 Terre Haute Stone-works Company, Terre Haute. 1S9,C00 The bid was awarded to the Terre Haute Stone-works Company, which has been, it is said, very successful in constructing public works throughout the State for some years past. One of the best examples is the Terre Haute county court-house, which the company erected at a cost of $500,000. It has been held by many experts to be as fine a structure, for the money put into it. as can be found anywhere in the West. The work on the monument will begin at once. Tho erection of the shaft at 139,000 will leave the commission in possession of a cash balance of about 55,400 for the ornamentation. Allof thefigures, filagree, shieldsandgrouns adherent to the shaft proper would probably cost about $45,000, brought here and fastened in position on the monument complete. The architect learned by telegraph yesterday that tho platform to tho large model was then in the custom-house in New York, and Secretary Gookins sent telegraphic orders for its immediate sliipment to this city by express, last night. When this arrives, aud the model and groups are placed upon it, it will afford a verv perfect idea of the appearance of tho great work itself. After the construction of the ornaments, the commissioners count on having $10,000 left for the large art groups around the base. This sum is held, by those competent to judge, to be verv small for such a grade of art as would be desirable, and the idealistic features at first thought of will have to be seriously curtailed. Mr. Schmitz will personally let tho contract for tho shaft ornaments to the lowest efficient bidder, in German'. BASE-BALL AFFAIRS. President Young Thinks the Franchise Will Be Taken by the Brush Syndicate. None of tho local bidders for tho baseball club have yet received any official information from League headquarters in regard to what disposition has been or will be made of t fie Indianapolis franchise. A special telegram from Washington, however, credits President Young with having said that tho Brush syndicate will probably succeed the old organization. It is stated that Mr. Brush's high standing with the League members, the fact that ho is on , at least two important committees, and is regarded as a man with much base-ball wisdom, will give him an advantage over other applicants. Mr. Young, however, was very favorably impressed with the oiler of Messrs. Dickson & Talbott, and had not Mr. Brush .been an applicant these gentlemen would have been given tho club. Other League officials, as well as President Young, admired tho promptness and business-liko manner in which they acted, and Brush and the League's obligations to him were the only obstacles between them and tho franchise; and it is still possible, but hardly probable, that they may get the Hoosier ball" team. Present indications point to an early settlement of the question. Henry Coburn did not institute any ; legal proceedings yesterday, but simply filed a written protest with the secretary of tho club against the surrender of the League As this had already been done, however, Mr. Coburn's notice will hardly change the, siil!A rf f )ia ltnn,l f 1 1 yttnti va Un ula ! perfectly firiendly to Mr. Brush, but desires to protect himself as far as possible, and took this step with legal advice. Mr. Daniels, who is representing several of t 10 guarantors, said yesterday that he had taken no action in tho matter aud did not know yet what his course would be. Emmett feeery has gone to Denver ana will be absent for six weeks. n Election of Officers. Adoniram Grand Lodge of Perfection (A. and A.

DAILY, SUNDAY AND WEEKLY. The Most Complete Newspaper iii all Departments in the State 6f Indiana. No newspaper la tho West 1 more widely or more favorably known, than, tho LndulnItous Journal. By tiio display of enterprise and strict attention to tho wants of tho reading public, dorIng the great campaign of 1888, it has taken a leading position among the most prominent Journals of tho country, and la certainly among tho best.

It is the only newspaper in the State owning and publishing all tho news furnished by tho two great press associations (tho Western Associated Press and the United Press), in addition to which it furnishes an abundance of e pec Lai service from all the principal cities of tho country. It has been, and will in future be, the aim of the publishers to make the Indianapolis Journal a perfect and complete newspaper, deficient in no department or particular. Tho paper challenges comparison with any of its contemporaries. No Indiana reader, certainly no Indiana Republican, should be without tho Journal, While it is thoroughly and soundly Republican in politics, devoted to the interest of the Republican party, the Journal will not allow ita news to bo colored by partisan bias, but will give the news of the day without fear or favor. Owing to the prominence of Indiana in the next administration, tho Journal will give particular attention to Washington news, which will be given far more completely than ever be fore. For this reason, if for no other, no Indiana reader can afford to bo without it for the next four years. In addition to its new features, the Journal regales its readers with tho productions of somo of the best known literary men and women ot the day. Many of the most celebrated magazine writers and authors are contributors to its literary columns, making it a paper for the household and homo circle. - Special arrangements havo been made for features of this character, which will appear in tho Journal during tho coming year. These appear most largely in the Sod at Journal, which is a special edition, and can b subscribed for and received exclusive of thf Dailt Journal. , V TIIE INDIANA STATE JOURNAL (TIIE 'WEEKLY EDITION.)
