AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Probable Consolidation of Tiro System. St. Paul, May 2. A Winnipeg dispatch gays t ho Northern Pacific and the Manitoba and Northwestern otlicials are negotiating "with a view of either consolidating the two roads into ono system, or at least making a traffic agreement hy which the trains of either road will pass over both lines, and

by which tho trains of the Northwestern will run into "Winnipeg over the Northern Pacific. The same dispatch says that General Manager Graham, of the Northern Pacific k Manitoba, and General Manager Uakcr, of the Manitoba fc Northwestern, wero in t. Paul a few days ago consulting with Northern Pacific otlicials about the proposed arrangement, and that all the parties are agreeable to the scheme. The "Wisconsin Central Deal Closed. New York, May 2. The Northern Pacific directors, at a special meeting to-day, closed the negotiations for operating the Wisconsin Central on a traffic agreement. The agreement is in the shape of three contracts, ono providing for the use of the Wisconsin Central tracks to Chicago; the second providing for the use of the terminals in Chicago, and the third provides that the Wisconsin Central shall make no contracts with any other roads. The resolution ratifying the agreement passed unanimously. It was also agreed to reopen the negotiations for a joint lease with the Union Pacific, of the Oregon Navigation Cdmpany. Earnings of the C. B. 4Q. Boston', March 2. The March statement cf the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company shows: Gross earnings, $2,073,758; increase, $SC2,570; expenses, $1,372,COfr, increase. $15,393. Net earniD gs, $700,702, against a deficit of 8146,415 in March last year, increase, 87,177. From January to March 31 the gross earnings were S3,7St,8G3, an increase over the same period last year of 81,217,802. The net earnings were $1,579,942, an increase of $S59,4C8. Personal, Local and State Notes. Thomas Noonan, general manager of the B. & O. Kankakee Dispatch, returned from the East yesterday. There were transfered over the Belt road in April, 47.903 cars, against 44,160 cars for the corresponding mouth, 1888. Belt road engines in the month of Aril handled 2,453 car-loads of live st k, against 2.G09 in the corresponding xnetn last year. . The outside offices of all the strong lines at this point show larger receipts from sales of tickets in April, this year, than in the corresponding month in 18S8. W. II. Prouty. general passenger agent of the Newport News &. Mississippi Valley com pan v (Western division), was in the 'city yesterday, calling on friends. J. D. Marston has been appointed general fbaggage agent of the Chicago & Rock Isl'dnd road, and will have charge on all lines 'east and west of the Missouri river. J. B. Eckman. secretary of the Indianapolis branch of the Central Traffic Association, was called to Washington Courthouse, O., last night, by the eudden death of his sister. Geo. II. Smith has been appointed assistant general ticket agent of the Chicago & Kock Island road, and Geo. L. Rhodes assistant general passenger agent. The headquarters of both will be at Chicago. J. H. Lawder has been appointed acting general freight agent of the Denver, Texas fc Fort Worth road, vice W. W. Finlay, who. May 1. assumed the duties of chairman of the Transmissouri Association. John Talbott has been appointed commercial agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul road, with headquarters at St. Joe, Mo. Mr. Talbott for some rears was in the car accountant's office of the Vandalia. The Baltimore & Ohio now has under construction seventy -ono locomotives, 500 boxcars. SCO flat-cars, four baggage-cars, six postal-cars and twenty-six passenger coaches, all of which will be in service by Jnlyl. The light business which the weak toads are doing, and the heavy traffic of tho fctrong lines indicatos two things: That rate-cutting now prevails to a minimum decree, and that the weak lines are getting badly squeezed. . Several of the roads will soon issue orders that no picnic or excursion trains "will be run over their roads on Sundav. Such an order has been in force on the Vandalia for several years, and tho road has prospered highly under it. On tho 11th of this month, both the passenger and freight departments of the Cincinnati. Hamilton &, Dayton Railroad Company will occupy their new rooms in the Chamber of Commerce, at Cincinnati, and Avill have the finest offices in that city. Robert Thompson, on May 1, assumed the duties of assistant treasurer of tho Terro Haute A: Indianapolis road. Mr. Thompson has for some time been in the auditors office, and is an excellent man for the position to which he has been appointed. General Manager Moore, of tho Cincinnati, Sandusky" &. Cleveland road, spent j esterday in the citv trying to straighten out some of the old receivership snarls when the road wae operated by the Indiana, Bloomington AWestern company. L. C. Morris has been appointed general a sent of the Ohio, Indiana &. Western road at Cincinnati, to look after both freight and passenger business. His office, after the 15th of this month, will be in the new Chamber of Commerce Building at Cincinnati. A. F. Banks has been appointed general freight and passenger agent of the Central Iowa road, with headquarters at Marshalltown, Iowa. Mr. Banks was for some years with the Continental Fast Freight line, with headquarters at Indianapolis. The growth of the business of the Chesapeake & Ohio road since M. E. Ingalls took the presidency has been remarkable, more especially its export business. Within the last few months this-road has delivered at Newport News, for export, 200,000 bales of cotton. General Manager McCrea,of thePennsyli viaua lines west of Pittsburg, has issued a circular to tho effect that hereafter individual and private stock cars will not bo transported over their lines except when loaded with horses. All other stock must ho shipped in cars of the company. Traffic Manager Murray, of the Chesapeake fc Ohio road, was in New York this week, where ho had a meeting with traffic managers of other trunk lines at Commissioner Fink's office, and expressed a desire to have competitors of the C. fc O. underbtaud that it was a rate-maintaining line. General Roadniaster Brown, of the Nebraska division of tho Union Pacific, has t:ken an advance reform in hands. He has issued orders that section men in future must not smoke while at work, and must brine their dinners in a tin bucket, in order that tho track may not be forsaken at noontime. The Pennsylvania lines have in their own tuTvice over 00,000 freight cars, and have on their lines, any day of the year, from 25,000 to SoKX) cars of foreign roads to look after. This department has a special force, one of t lie duties of which is to see that cars are not delaj-ed one hour more than necessary in moving over their lines. If the Union Pacific road purpose to hold their business in this territory, they should at once appoint a representative with headQuarters at Indianapolis. Business to Colorado points is now heavier than at any jrevious time, and this is the first time in ten years that the U. P. has not had a representative here to care for their interests. President McKcen and General Manager Hill, of the Vandalia, are spending a day or two on theT. H. & h. divisiou, inspecting the road, with a view of coming to some conclusion ns to what improvements shall ho made to the property this year. But few Indiana ronds are in as good shape physically as is the Terre Haute fc Logansport. - At a meeting of the stockholders of the" Vinr-nnes Owensboro railroad, nt Oakland (Jity. yesterday, Joshua I). Powers, of the First National iiank of Owcusboro, Ky., "vsa awi'df d the contract tobiiild theroad, and to .rccept as nay the lpnds and stock of thn road. All the directors were present. The road is to be built insido of two years. Now tho rumor comes thut tli ptm-haR-ing committee of the Wabash have their eve upon the Indianapolis. Decatur Jfc. Western road, and if they can secure satisfactory terms from the Hammond syndicate they will either purchase or lease the road. One of the officials is quoted as Maying that the Wabash wished to get hold of it and ,tha cut on through coaches between In

dianapolis and Kansas City, and make better time than could any of their competitors, as they would have the shortest line. It has leaked out that tho Queen & Cresent people are anxious to secure control of the Louisville Southern road, which will let them into Louisville under very favorable circumstances. In connection with the Louisville, New Albany &. Chicago road it is proposed to establish a through line of coaches between Chicago and New Orleans. Tho outlook for car-works in this State, the Indianapolis car-works excepted, is not very tlattenng. The latter have Contracts which will keep them busy until Aug. 1, and more contracts in sight. The Terre Haute works have but 150 to build before they are out of orders; the Lafayette works but 200, and the works at Michigan City are practically shut down. The annual meeting of the Michigan Central stockholders was held at Detroit yesterday. Something over $15,000,000 of stock was voted on. Mr. F. S. Winston, of Chicago, was elected a member of the board in place of John B. Farwell. The other members were re-elected. The gross earnings for the year show a decrease of $393,9w, and the expenses an increase of $211,arJ. The monthly report of J. B. Eckman. secretary of the Indianapolis branch of the Central Traffic Association, shows a gain in tonnage in April, by the weighing of carload freights, ot 8,934,55S pounds; in weighing of platform freights, a gain of 802,788 pounds, making a total gam of 9,737,336 pounds. The Indianapolis association now employs five inspectors at the platforms of tho city freight depots, and sixteen weighmasters at scales: these weighmasters weigh only car-load lots. The lines in the Central Traffic Association which do an east-bound business are very anxious to drop rates and give business a start, but the trunk lines riatly opnose such action. The Erie and the New York Central have plenty of business through their lake connections at Buffalo, and probably want the cars of Western roads to haul it, while the Pennsylvania has so much local business that through traffic does not worry them, and what they get they consider so much gain. Receiver Moore, of the Indiana Midland, has a good idea if he can carry it out. He proposes to run trains direct into Indianapolis, using the Louisville, New Albany fc Chicago road from Westfield. a distance of twenty miles, to get in here. Such a scheme is just as feasible as for the Cincinnati, Wabash &. Michigan to run in here over

tne tsee-nne, and unrtcr as favorable circumstances as though they had an inde?endent line. In return, the Indiana Midarid, which intersects the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago at Ladoga, Ind., proposes to onen a short freight route by which the L., N. A. fc C. can get in here with business from the southern part of their road. In hauling stonefrom Bedford, it would be a good thing for the L., N. A. &C. Col. H. C. Moore, who died last week at St. Louis, was probably one of the best known civil engineers in Indiana and Illinois. His first work in Indiana was the construction of the White Water valley canal; his next work was to locate the old Indiana Central road, now the C, St. L. & P., between Richmond and Indianapolis; he was then appointed chief engineer of the Ohio & Mississippi road, going from that road to the Missouri Pacific. In 1879 he came back and was appointed superintendent and civil engineer of the Indiana & Illinois Central road, ard located and built the road from Guion into Indianapolis, now the Indianapolis, Decatur & Western road. His last imnoitant engineering work was locating and building the extension of the Indiana, Bloomington & Western road from Indianapolis to Springfield, O. For a few years prior to his death he had been residing with a son in St. Louis. Robert Moore, whot like his father, is a very eminent civil engineer. The estate of H. C. Mooro is estimated to be worth $200,000. Among the valuable property which he owns is the ground now occupied for the base-bal park in this city. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN". Indications. . Washington.

A DANGER OF THE FUTURE.

The Republic May Be Attacked "When It Overshadows Europe's Great Towers. London Spectator. If the United States were a small power, her '"original idea of diplomacy." as the German Chancellor's penmen call it, might be considered a caprice, and passed over with a smile; but her people are becoming the greatest nation in the world. It is Irobable that nothing short of actual vioence would now induce anv nation to attack her, while she could, if she pleased, almost ruin the commerce of any nation ou the globe. It is true she has scarcely any regular army, her 25,000 men being overworked at home; but 'if a neighboring planet kept no army, it would not bo subject to attack. Her coast, if threatened, would bristle with torpedoes and new means of destruction, and her protectionists would bo only too pleased if importation stooped. Her navy, though etill small, is rapidly increasing, so rapidly as to bo a subject of special reports to the maritime powers; and if war were in immediate prospect her limitless command, alike of money and men, would soon draw a fleet together. Besides, apart altogether from her existing resources, the growth in strength of the Union affects tho imagination of tho European States. There are children alive who will see, or at all events may see, the "North American Republic," with a population of 200.000,000, and the means of raising 300,000,000 a year; and the idea of incurring the enmity of such a power is as appalling as the idea of lighting Hussia would be, say, to Italy or Spam. America could be met only by a confederation of Europe, which, without some great change of circumstances, would be impossible, or possible only if all Europe felt it too dangerous to put up with the treatment one power was receiving. This immunity from attack or affront is, however, precisely the reason why American politicians should, in foreign affairs, be scrupulously just and courteous. We do not mean in that remark only to appeal to their generosity, though that feeling will weigh strongly with the general American people, but to their natural appreciation of what will constitute a wise and permanent state policy. Some day or other, perhaps soon, the Union will be exposed to some of the dangers which throughout history have beset any power supposed to bo too strong for the safety of the rest of the world. Every one of those dangers will be exasperated if the remainder of the powers feel that they are treated with contumely, and their idea of contumely is, in the main, derived from their interlocutor's manner. No German soldier at heart cares ono straw if Samoa drops into the sea; but every German soldier cares if when a salute is required by etiquette, the salute is refused. If ever there is a combination against the Union, it will be on some question of honor, or feeling, or sentimental European pride, not on interests of boundaries. We can make our point perhaps clearer by an illustration, which will be better understood on that side of the Atlantic than on this. The Union already stands toward the Spanish and Portuguese American states in the relation which she may one day stand toward Europe itself. Her foreign office already claims something like a protectorate over both Americas, and desires to wield a preponder-. ating influence from the St. Lawrence to Patagonia. It forbids any government to cut the Isthmus of Panama, and warns Europe, in a President's speech not to meddle with any state "lying south of us," though it mav be 4,000 miles oil'. If it persists in that desire, it will acquire such influence inevitably and naturally, unless it provokes the amour propre of the states in question into a combination in defense of their political independence. Those states have no charge to bring against their mighty neighbor, except her masterfulness, and no fear of her, except that they may be treated with too little consideration. Nothing but affront or injustice will tempt any of them even to appear to quarrel with tho Union; andit iseven accidental affront or injustice, therefore, which an able diplomacy would most patiently avoid. ABOUT ADVERTISING. The One and Only Way for a Business Man to Prosper Plain Facts. Texas Sittings. The man who is in any kind of business whatever who refuses to advertise is going to regret it sooner or later, probably sooner. N'ot only must the business man advertise, but he must keep on advertising, if he expects to prosper. A single advertisement is not enough. You cannot eat enough to last a year, and you cannot advertise on that plan, either. Advertising pays, and pays well. The surest way to add is advertise. When a certain man was asked how he was going to manage his business during his vacation, his reply was: "I'll just take my advertisement out of the paper, and there will not bo any business to manage." A well-known . authority on advertising says: "Tho man who says he don't believe in advertising is doing just what he deprecates. He hangs coats outside his door, or puts dry goods in his windowsthat's advertising. Ho has painted cards lying on his counter that's advertising. Ho sends out drummers through the country, or puts his name on ; the wagon that's advertising. If he has lost a cow, he puts a notice in the postoffice, or tells his sister-in-law and that is advertising, too. He has his name in gilt letters over well, what is that but advertising. He paints his shop green or red; or, if h is a tailor he wears the latest style; if a doctor, he has a boy call him out of church in haste: if an auctioneer, he bellows to attract the attention of the passer-by; if a heavy merchant, he keeps a pile of boxes on the sidewalk in front of his doors and all for advertising. A man can't do business successfully without advertising, and the question is whether to call to his aid the engine that moves the world the printing-press with its thousands of messengers that aro working by night and by day or go back to the days when newspapers, telegrams and railroads were unknown. RICHMOND'S BREAD RIOT. Jefferson Davis Describes a War-Time Incident. Beanvoir Letter to the Richmond Dispatch. On the day of the. riot (April 2, 1803) Mr. Davis said he received word while in his othce in Richmond that a serious disturbance, whicn the Mayor and Governor Letcher, with the State forces under his command, were entirely unable to repress, was in progress on the streets. He quickly proc eeded to the scene of trouble in the lower portion of the city, whither the venerable Mayor had preceded him. He found a large crowd on Main street, although the mass of the rioter were congregated on one of tho side streets leading into that thoroughfare. They were headed by a tall, daring, Amazonian-looking woman, who had a white feather standing erect from her hat, and who was evidently directing the movements of the plunderers. The main avenue was blocked by a dray from which the horses had been taken and which had been hauled across the street, and it was particularly noticeable that, though the mob claimed that they were starving and wanted bread, they had not confined their operations to food supplies, but had passed by, without any effort to attack, several provision stores and bakeries, while they had completely gutted one jewelry store, and had also "looted" some millinery and clothing shops in the vicinity. At the confederate armory, in Richmond, were engaged a number of armorers and artisans, enrolled by General Gorgas, chief of ordnance, to work especially for the government. These men had been organized into a military company under the command of a captain, whose bearing was that of a trained, sturdy soldier, accustomed to obey orders, and ready to do his duty unflinchingly, no matter what it might be. This company had been promptly ordered to tho scene of riot, and arrived shortly afterMr. Davis. Mr. Davis mounted the dray mentioned and made a brief address to the formidable crowd of both sexes, urging them to abstain from their lawless acts. Ho reminded them of how they had taken jewelry and finery instead of supplying themselves with the bread, for tho lack of which they claimed they were sutlering. He concluded by saying: "You say you are hungry and have no money. Here is all I have; it is not much, but take it." He then, emptying his pockets, threw all tho money they contained among the mob. after which lie took out his watch and said: "We do not desire to injure anyone, but this lawlessness must stop. I will give you five minutes to disperse, otherwise yon will bo lired on." Tho order was given the company to prepare for tiring, and the grim, resolute, old captain who, Mr. Davis said, was an old resident of Richmond, but whose name he does not recall gave his men the conimand, Load!" The muskets wero then loaded with ' buck and ball cartridges, with strict observance of military usage, and every one could see

that when their stern commander received orders to fire he intended to shoot to kill. The mob evidently fully realized this fact and began to disperse, and before the rive iaiinutes had expired the trouble was over and the famous misnamed bread riot was at an end. IN SHARP CONTRAST.

The Model as Pictured by the Tainter and the Model as Seen at Home. New York Sun. "Womanhood" a background of misty gray, shadows soft and dreamy, a woman floating through the shadows, with white arms raised high above her head, clothed only in thin, gray draperies, trailing and fading into the clouds in which she floated. Every curve of the gleaming white limbs, every line of the slender body, was revealed by the clinging, transparent folds which only heightened the loveliness they could not conceal, and fell away softly from tho full, white throat and snowy breast. The face was uplifted and turned slightly away, in an exquisite pose, but something in the chaste lines of the beautiful figure revealed all the purity, sacredness and ideality of womanhood. Men looked at tho picture with earnest faces; women's chatterhushed as they approached it. "It almost makes me cry, it is so pure and beautiful," said a pretty, impulsive girl; "I could always be good if it hung in my room." The artist stood in the angle of the railing as the people crowded up to see his work, and some one said: "Is it an ideal figuref" to which he answered: "I painted it from life, except the face, which is idealized a little." High up in an old tenement-house, with passages, and up tumble-down stairs, in a tiny room, a woman sat crouching over a smoking fire, endeavoring to coax its coals into lite and warmth. Her dress was old, and faded, and soiled, a tear on the shoulder revealing the white flesh; her shoes were ragged and down at the heel, fastened by ono or two buttons; her hands were smirched with coal dust. A frowsv boy came banging into the room, with a bun in one hand and a greasy newspaper in the other hand. "Here's the paper the boss sent up to your man, and is he any better, he says." "He is worse, answered the woman, apathetically, as she took up the paper aud went into another tiny room, where, on a ragged couch, a man with consumption was watching her with burning eyes. She turned the "paper to the art notes, and, after a little search, said: "Tho picture has sold for $1,000, and I only had $20 for the pose, and it was so hard, and made my arras ache so I couldn't fix 'em in the night so I could go to sleep. The coal's nearly out, and the rent isnt paid, and your medicine is all gone." "What was the pose, Annie?" "This. See!" Sue raised slowly on one toe and threw her hands above her head. The clinging, limpid, faded dress outlined curves of gracious Deauty, the soiled sleeves fell back from dimpled white arms, the hands, save where the coal smirches blackened them, were white as snow, and they wero faultless in shape. Through the rent in her dress the bare shoulder gleamed like marble, and the loosely-fastened collar slipped back from a full, beautiful throat, the gray dusk of the twilight shrouded her with dreamy shadows, and the Uplifted face was turned away. The President at the Sub-Treasury. New York Tribune. President Harrison made his bow to a New York audience yesterday, and a more favorable impression than he created it would be hard to produce. His all too brief address at the sub-treasury was a model of terse and pithy expression, and his style of delivery captivated every hearer. It was no easv task that was assigned him that of following the eloquent and scholarly oration of Mr. Depew, but he was fully equal to the occasion. Each one of the few sentences that he uttered made a point. A New Breed. Burlington Free Press.
