I00LING EAILWAYBUSINESS

Qlr. Depew's Views on the Subject as Given Before the Senate Committee. flThe Interstate La?r Inoperative Unless Tools , Are Legalized Western Roads Catechised ' oa the Payment of Commissions. t New York, May 7. Tho Senate committee which is investigating the work of the interstate-commerce law, resumed its labors at tho Fifth-avenue Hotel at 10 o'clock 4his morning. Senator Piatt has been add'nd. to the Senators present yesterday, and "the committee to-day is composed of Chairznan Culloin and Senators Piatt, IIiscock, Blair, Harris, Gorman and Kcagan. Channcey M. Depew, of tho New York Central, find General Manager Joseph Hixon, of tho Grand Trunk railroad, were in attendance to submit to the committee's probing, and a dozen or two interested spectators helped to fill the large parlors. Chauncey M. Depew was the lirst witness called to tho chair. Many of his statements showed that he agreed on several points with the opinions of the two previous witnesses. Commissioner Fink and President John King, of the Erie road. Mr. D?pew gave his opinion on the workings of tho interstate law, and to a question as to what amendment he could sug gegt to the presont interstate law in order to protect the American roads, Mr. Depew eaidthct tho roads doing business in this country, whether Mexican or Canadian, should be made to comply with tho conditions of the law as the American roads fcnust do. At present, he said, it was very easy for the Canadian roads to get large quantities of freight by means of rebates. Pooling he considered a good thiutr, and ehould have been permitted. The tendency of all roads is to lov.er freight rates, and 210 amount of pooling could affect this tendency. The interstate-commerce bill, by making the roads publish their rates, had given the stronger roads more business, and taken it away from the weaker roads proportionately. The interstate law will jever be ellective nor operativo until, in nomo form or another, you have a legal jool. Chairman Cnllom questioned Mr. Depew closely as to the practice of using Canadian cars on American roads, and vice versa, from Air. Dcnew's answer it appears that American and Canadian cars are used indiscriminately on both sides of the line, without regard to tho imposition of 'customs duties upon tliem, although the jGraud Trunk line uses ten American cars Ion its line where the Central uses one of the (Grr::'l Trunk's cars, making the proportion therefore about ten to one. ( Senator Piatt Don't you think it would Jjave been better if goods destined to points "within tho United States borders had never been allowed to go through Canada! Mr. Depew If you go back to that, yes; Lut the tiling is now an existing fact. In concluding Mr. Depew's testimony. Senator Blair wished to know what would lye the result of war between Canada and the United States. "Well, it would last just two days," said the Central's president. Mr. Deppw was followed by General 'Manager Joseph Nixon, of the Grand Trunk. Mr. Nixon described his road and its terminals, and. after some questioning, linally acknowledged that the Grand Trunk practically controlled the rates between Chicago and Portland. After recess, the examination of Mr. Nixon was resumed, the lino of inquiry devolving iuto tho reason for tho alleged Increase of freight tihipments over tho Grand Trunk road. In response to a question by the chairman as to the fare from Chicago to Liverpool. Mr. Nixon said it was the regular published railroad rate, with the steamer fare added. He also described the government subsidies granted the Canadian Pacific road, and said that the sura of 100,000 per annum had been devoted for a steamship lino from some port not yet named. Mr. 'Nixon also answered a large nnmber of questions put by members of the committee with a view to finding out how much of the tonnage carried by the Grand Trunk road orig inated in tne united States, hut without much result. Chairman Culloin Suppose wo made it obligatory for tho Canadian roads to obej" tho interstate law! Mr. Nixon I think that would bo an international question. The last witness of the day was First Vice-president Felton, of the Erie road. Jlis discourse was largely explanatory of. the Erie's methods audits losses since the abolishment of tho pooh He corroborated President King in all the hatter's main points, and was well s applied with figures to make his statements clear. In his opinion a legalized rool, under the control of the interstate commission would bo an excellent thing for both shippers and the railways. m President Charles Francis Adams, of tho T'nion Pacific, will bo tho lirst witness examined to-morrow. The Payment of Commissions Washington', May 7. Western railroad men chatted and gossiped animatedly this morning in the rooms of tho Inter-state-commerce Commission while awaiting the opening of tho investigation into thematter of the payment of commissions upon tho tale of passenger tickets. Chairman Cooley opened the hearing with a few remarks upon the importance of the investigation, and then called upon the railroads in alphabetical order to state what, if any, commissions they paid. Mr. J. E. Hannigan, general passenger agent of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern Railroad Company, the lirst witness called, tiled a written statement setting forth the amount of commissions paid by his company, and stating that they paid reasonable ticket commissions to authorized agents, but to no others. The Chicago t Alton and the Chicago, Burlington it Quincy road also filed written statements giving the information called for. Mr. C. II. Heafford, general passenger agent of the Chicago. Milwaukee &, St. Paul, said his company pays ticket commissions to agents of connecting roads, and to some other railroad companies. Theno payments were made in accordance with the agreement between Western roads, and no commissions were paid except in pursuance of the agreement. So far as witness knew, the agreement was faithfully observed by all the parties to it. There had been a previous arrangement concerning rates of commission, which, after being observed for a while, had been broken by the withdrawal of some of tho lines party to it. The violation of agreement usually took the form of the pavment of commissions in .excess of that agreed upon. He testified that there was alao a certain class of commissions paid on account of emigraut exfenses. These commissions, however, were united to emigrant travel. Mr. E. P. Wilson, general passenger agent of tho Chicago fc Northwestern lvailroad Company, said his road paid commissions on competitivepassenger business. The rate paid was restricted by tho terms of tho agreement of the Western passenger agents. Tho agreement had been faithfully observed by the Chicago A. Northwestern. Prior to the making of this agreement, commissions nshighasTiO or 40 per cent., ho said, had been paid, lie was questioned concerning tho sale of tickets by scalpers. Their source of revenue, ho taid, was ostensibly and originally the purchase and sale of portions of unused ticket. He had no doubt there wer other sources of revenue, among which was the sale of tickets went them by railroad rompanirs hard pressed for hnsincs. Ho did not think this was a custom. It was done in times of disturbance?. ... John Sebastian, general passenger agent Df the Hock Island railroad and of the Cliitago, Kansas 3c Nebraska Kail road Company, frankly admitted that these roads paid commissions, and said they were Mrongly in favor of pa'ing commissions. They behoved in It. S'o demoralization existed on account of it, and none was anticipated. In response to a question by Chairman Cooley, witness said he did not think the commissions paid were largo enough to make it an object for the passenger jurent and tho man to whom the commissions were paid to agree to divide up what whs made in this way. General Passenger Agent W. R. Busen- , back, of the Chicago, tit. Paul & Kaxuaa

Citv TCnilrond rnmn.inr. said his comnanv

paid commissions only in accordance with the agreement of tho Western Passenger Agents' Association. F. B. Clarke, general traflic manager of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis Sc. Omaha Railway Company, was a member of the Western Passenger Agents' Association and tho trausmissoun association. He gave the maximum rates paid in commissions, and said he regarded the effect of the agreement between these associations as a great improvement over the bad and demoralized condition of business previous to the agreement. Witness also said tho money made by the commission agent was considerably reduced, owing to the stoppage of the pavment of commissions by many of the Eastern trunk lines. Tho money paid in commissions last year by the company he represented, amounteu to more than 7,000. Mr. James Baker, general passenger ageut of the Wisconsin Central, said his company was a member of the Western Passenger Agent' Association only, and not connected with any other association so far as passenger business was concerned. The commissions paid by the company were not used to cut rates. The general manager of tho Illinois Central prefaced his testimony by siying that the Illinois Central was peculiarly situated. It was composed of a Northern and a Southern system, and an Eastern and Western system. The Eastern and Western system was a member of the Western Passenger Agents' Association, as was also the Northern and Southern system until the line of the latter reaches tne Vandalia line in Illinois, when the line entered a section of country in which competition is encountered, and where one competing line is in favor of navinir commissionH and the other 'adverse to doing so. The Illinois Central, therefore, pays commissions on the business going over this line, which varies considerably. The system as an entirety can be considered a commission system. It was not so much the management, but a caso of commercial interest, in order to get a share of the competitive business. Mr. Jeffrey gave figures, showing amount of competitive business which would bo affected by a non-payment of commissions. He submitted considerable data concerning the commission of the roads, and was examined by the commissioners at lencth. Mr. O. W. Ruggles appeared for theMichigan Central, and testified that the company pays no commissions to agents of connecting lines, nor does it allow its own agents to accept them. An exception was made of the emigrant business and of the Pacific coast business. K. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the lines west of Pittsburgh of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne fc Chicago Railway Company, said that his company had paid no commissions to any one since the passago of the interstate-commerce law. Testimony was also given for the Detroit, Lansing k Northern, and the Flint & Fere Marquette companies. Tho Wabash Railway Company was then called. Mr. John McNulta, general manager, appeared as tho representative of tho company. Before proceeding with his statement, Mr. McNulta said that some statements had been made iu answer to tho commission's order by Mr. Wm. Brown, representing the Chicago & Alton, which ho desired read. Mr. Brown had filed his answer with the secretary of the commission, and it had not yet been made public. Mr. Brown thereupon read his statement of the commission business of the road which he represents. In it was contained a number 01 charges against tho Wabash road. When he had completed the reading of it he turned it over to Mr. McNulta, who took it up in the order of the charges enumerated. The first of these concerned tho improper uso of mileage tickets issued by tho Wabash road, which charge Mr. McNulta pronounced nnfounded in fact. His orders in this respect, he said, had been strict and imperative. It was true there was manipulation of mileage tickets on railroads, but it was not confined to any one road. Another charge was that tho Wabash had carried theatrical parties between certain points at less rates than those published. These Tates, it is charged, were arrived at by various dovices. Mr. McNulta, in replying to this charge, said that so far as ho knew and believed, tho statement was not founded on fact; that such practices were contrary to his instructions, which were that these classes of people should pay the full tariff rates on every instance. In answer to a question by Commissioner Morrison, as to whether base-ball clubs and opera companies travel at special rates, witness said if any such arrangement existed he was not aware of it. Mr. H. C. Chappell, general manager of the Chicapo &. Alton road, testified in rebuttal of the testimony of Mr. McNulta. He said that recently he had men buy mileage tickets of brokers and travel over tho Wabash road. It was not in tho issue of the tickets that complaint was made, but that the conductors on tho road do not rroperly identify the public using them, le knew also of persons who had purchased tickets over the roads east of Chicago at less than tho published rates, and this had occurred within the lust thirty days. Even as late as last week, a broker's office in Chicago had been examined, and mileage tickets were found for sale at less than tho published rates. Chas. M. Haves, the general manager of tho Wabash Western company, submitted the answer of that road. Mr. Geo. Daniels, formerly vice-chairman of tho Central Traffic Association and now passenger agent of the New York Central road, was called to tho stand, and gave it as his opinion that the payment of commissions on tickets oftentimes resulted in a cutting of rates. J. R. Wood, general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company; Mr. E. P. Wilson, general passenger agent of the Chicago te Northern, Mr. Haggles and other gentlemen were then asked to take the stand in turn, and were questioned generally concerning the efiect of the payment of commissions. The prevailing opinion see.ned to be that the practice resulted in the cuttiug of rates, and was injurious to railway management. Several other companies submitted their answers through their representatives, but no new features of interest wero developed. Tho hearing then adjourned. . Personal, Local and State Notes. Tourists' tickets at reduced rates to summer pleasure resorts will be placed on sale May 15. The Litchfield car-works, at Litchfield. 111., have been awarded a contract to build 500 box cars for the Texas Pacific road. John W. Cloud has accepted the secretaryship of the Master Car-builders' Association. His headquarters will be Buffalo. N. Y. The regular monthly meeting of the passenger department of tho Central Traflic Association will be held in Chicago on Tuesday, May 14. W. H.- Fisher, district passenger agent, and G. W. Clements, passenger conductor on the C. H. fc D., have gone South for a few days' recreation. One week from to-day tho consolidation of the Bee-line with the Big Four will bo perfected, unless Judge Burke, with his one share, interferes with tho programme. The Indianapolis fc Vinceunes management have contracted for a new iron bridgo to cross Eel river. When this is completed all the important bridges on the road will be iron structures. Ticket acents here have been notified by the roads interested that the Yellowstone National Park will bo opened one month earlier this year than ever before, so advanced is the reason. The changes in time schedules of the through trains in and out of here, which are to be made next Sunday, are tho most radical in many years. In nearly every case there is a shortening of running timo between terminals. The Omaha-Chicago live-stock pool has been broken. The Burlington has given notice to its agents to notify shippers that hereafter live-stock trains on that road between Omaha and Chicacro would be run as fast as steam could pull them. Within a few days the charter of tho Evansville. Fort Wayne fc Chicago Railroad Company is to be amended, increasing the number of the directors, and Dr. Henry Jameson, of this citv, is to be one of the two new directors wno will bo elected. Clouds of dust continue to sweep through the new Union Station and to annoy tho merchants on South Meridian street in the vicinity of tho station, simply because tho wealthy Union Uailway Company and the street sprinkler caunot agree on the price for the work. President Ingalls, of the C, I.. St. L. & C, has given orders tnat the road, its entire length, be placed in the most perfect physical condition. It is his intention to expend a considerable sum of monev in reducing the graden on tho eastern division and taking out tho curves. Ho says that his idea of what time should be in ado between IndianapoUa and Cincinnati-will not

be reached until the run is made in two hours and twenty-five minntes, which is an honr quicker than most of their trains now make tho run. A car-load of freight shipped from her ovrr the Vandalia and C, B. & Q. from Ea3t St Louis, billed to Portland, was delivered on the morning of the ninth day, which is said to be the best timo ever mado on straight billed freight between tho points named. The Toledo. St Louis & Kansas City road earned in April, $06,7S6, an increase over earnings of the corresponding mouth last year of i,265. The Louisville, Now Albany & Chicago earned $173,SS8; increase this year, $11,&"j0. The Ohio & Mississippi, f 2l8,aC7; increaso this year, $23,2$3. Within the last eighteen months the Kades of tho Lake Shore road in northern diana havo been to reduced that their ordinary engines haul thirty-five loaded cars from Chicago to Toledo with as much ease as they did twenty-five before the grades were cut down and curves taken out The Lafayette Call says that the roads centering at Lafayette still have a pooh consequently the building of a belt road would not help the manufacturers in rate matters. This is rather rv flimsy reason for

not building a belt road, as pools are me 8 al, and this one. 11 there be one. can reauiy be upset. The rail joint invented by M. W. Thompson, engineer of maintenance of way on the Pennsylvania road, has been adopted by a number of Western lines. The Chicago & Northwestern has just ordered 20,000 joints. The joint can be as readily applied to an eighty-ponnd-to-the-yard rail as to one of lighter weight. Harry Drew states that work will, be commenced next month on the Evausville, Fort Wayne & Chicago road, which is 109 miles in length, located on the tow-path of the Wabash canal, between Fort Wayne and Lafayette. The money is already raised to do the work. It is understood that other roads are behind this enterprise, which will, at the proper time, show their hand. Theexecntive committee of the American Ticket-brokers' Association has changed the place of holding their annual meeting, which occurs on tne 22d of this month, from Indianapolis to New York. When Indianapolis was selected there were not so many important questions for them to settlo as now, and tho executive committee thought that their association would bo given more importance if it convened in New York. The monthly report of the Railroad Gazette shows that thero were in the United States, in the month of March, 101 accidents, in which twenty-two persons were killea and 104 injured. There were thirtyeight rear, front and crossing collisions, which is far too great a number when facilities for preventing this class of accidents are considered. But four of the accidents in the month occurred on Indiana roads, and in each case the loss was comparatively small. Some of the best informed railroad officials at this point are pleased over tho position that Commissioner Fink took before the senatorial committee on tho question of differentials and pools. In tho West tho prevailing sentiment is in favor of pools instead of differentials. When a road is given a differential no one knows to what extent it is using it, while under pools each road knows just what its competitors are doing; hence, pools are much more desirable than tho giving of a -differential rate to a weak line. 1 On Sunday next the Baltimore & Ohio will put on a limited special out of Cincinnati for New York, which will leave the Grand Central depot at Cincinnati on tho arrival of the Indianapolis trains from the west,- and making the run one hour quicker than any of its competitors between the points named. The B. & O. seems to be after the Pennsylvania Company at all points which it strikes. Since it put on six trains a day between Washington and New York, making the run niue minutes quicker than does the Pennsylvania, their travel, it is stated, has increased largely. 1 A railroad manager yesterday remarked that steel rails were now selling at lower figures than they will again in the next ten years if the plans of tho owners of the teel-rail mills are carried out. He said thero was no question as to the consolidation of the steel-rail mills East, as has been done in the West, and the consolidation of intersts of the estern and Eastern mills would soon follow, when rails would sell only at prices to keep out foreign-manufactured rails. For such mills as that at Indianapolis and at Cleveland thero was not the least show, and the sooner they were converted into mills to manufacture something else the better for tho owner, l Railroad officials are of the opinion that the Northern Pacific has made a mistako by securing the Wisconsin Central road to get into Chicago. There are six lines between Chicago and St. Paul, and all were feeders to the Northern Pacific on Northwestern and Pacific coast business; now tho N. P. antagonizes five of of these lines by gathering in the Wisconsin Central. Tho Minneapolis, St. Paul &, Manitoba will now become a much moro important line, as it parallels the Northern Pacific as far as Helena. Then, as far as possible, tho Missouri river lines will bo given the business Which the N. P. has received in the past. Freight men say that they do not see compensating advantages to the Northern Pacific through the new deal. Harry Crawford, the well-known railroad attorney, has made his appearance i'n new quarters, and has filed a suit in the United States Court, at Lonieville, against tho estate of the lato E. D. Standiford, claiming that, the estate is indebted to him in tho sum of 175,000. The bill is a long one, containing twenty paragraphs, in which Mr. Crawford goes on to relate that, in 1SS1, in order to prevent the Chicago & Atlantic Railroad Company from obtaining judgment against tne Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railway Company, he transferred to Standiford 1,175 shares of stock: that Standiford afterward acknowledged his indebtedness and promised to6ettle; that afterward he died intestate in this city, and left personal property in the hands of R. S. Veach, which was insufficient to pay the claim. Ho says that tho deceased (Standiford) left enough real estate to pay the same, and he now sues all the heirs of deceased to make his bill, and asks that an order be made preventing the heirs of deceased from disposing of tho property until his claim is satisfied. D. W. Janowitz, district passenger agent of the Northern Pacific, takes exceptions to the statement of General Agent Reed, of the Union Pacific. He states that it is not a fact that the Union Pacifio is selling tickets to Paget sound points. Hesavs that thero is not a tioket agent in this Territory who can or will sell tickets to Tacoma, Seattle or any other Puget soimd ?oints reading over tho Union Pacific, 'hey will sell to Portland, Ore., and then tho traveler must purchase a local ticket beyond that point. There has been unpleasant feeling over this matter between the passenger men of the Northern and Union Pacific for some time, put it will toon blow over, as the higher powers of both roads are working on the problem of a harmonious traffic and trackage arrangements which will put an end to this controversy. The Union Pacific has threatened to build into tho Northern Pacific territory, and this has opened the eyes of the Northern Pacific people to the fact that they had better enter into some traflic arrangement which will be of benefit to both parties, and doubtless before the close of the present month the misunderstandings will be adjusted. Mr. Cleveland's House Is Unlucky. Washington Critic Oak View is acquiring something of a record for disappointments. It was from that place that a defeated President retired from the pinnacle of prominence to a law office in Jsew York. The property was to have been leased to the late Dr. Harvey Linsley, who died last Sunday afternoon. Ho had made all his arrangements, and was to have occupied the country-seat with his family when death frustrated his plans. A Jealous Fling:. Boston nrrald. New York is already talking about taking the lead in celebrating the fourth centenary of tho discovery of America by Columbus, three years hence. Presumably the champagne has been ordered for the" ball. The body is moro susceptible to benefit from Hood's Sarsaparilla now than at any otker season. Therefore take it now.

MY MEMORY WAS BAD

Frequently Forgetting the Name of Most Intimate Friends. The Trouble. She Found, Was the Result of Many Changes The Condition and tho 3Ieans Employed to Remove It. "It was about one year ago, as I remember, wo were going to havo an entertainment at the church, and it was necessary for mo to dress all in white. The weather was yet cool and I felt all the time that I was taking a cold, and I was not mistaken, fori afterward had one of the worst colds I ever had in my life," said Miss Loniso Vou DeWalleto the writer. 'It settled in my head and on my lungs and I am sure I never got over tho effects of it, for my head was FULL AND HEAVY all the time, and I found that I took more cold on the least exposure. A thin, watery discharge began to flow from my nose, and my eyes watered freely and my throat would getsoro at times. My noso stopped up first on one side and then on the other, and I was annoytMl greatly by the fullness and tightness across the bridge of the 1 mMm& MISS LOUISE VON DE WALLT2 705 North Alabama st. nose. Mr memory was very bad. I would often forget things that had happened but recently, and sometimes I could not recall thename of an intimate friend if I should happen to meet them unexpectedly. This was a groat annoyance to me. The accumulations in the head and throat became thick and tenacious, and kept me continually hawking and spitting to clear my throat. I found that all my symptoms seemed much worso in tho morning. I would get up TIRED AND EXHAUSTED, with a coated tongue and a bad taste in tho mouth, and of course I had no appetite, in fact, I could eat very little at any meal. My rest was bad and my back and bead hurt me constantly, and all in all Iwasthoroughly miserable. I had tried several remedies without any improvement, but I determined to take active treatment. Having satisfied myself that the Blair Treatment was all it was reported to be, I placed myself under the Treatment, much to my satisfaction. I havo treated two months now, and am IMPROVING RAPIDLY. The bad symptoms have all disappeared and I am feeling like another person: my appetite has returned, my head and throat are clear and well, and I can cheerfully recommend the Treatment to those who feel as I did." .
