DISASTROUS WA11 ON BATES

Cuts by the Grand Trunk Road lhatMnst Bo Met by Its Eastern Competitors, A Fight that Means Money to Dresscd-Beef Shippers lut Great Loss to Kalhvay StockBjeclal to the Indianapolis journal. Chicago, June 15. To-morrow marks tbb clash of the lines of battle of the Grand Trunk road and its Central Traffic competitors. The preceding redactions in rates have "been but mere skirmish tires, and not even the contestants themselves knew "whether there would be a battle. The light is now fairly on, however, and the "victory will be to the Grand Trunk, if it steadily makes a three-cent lower rate than the Lake Shore, and it will be to the Lake Shoro and the other Central Traffic lines if the Grand Trunk abandons its demand for a three-cent differential rate and agrees to charge tho same rates as its competitors. It is a renewal of the fight of two years ngo, when the Grand Trunk won, after a struggle which reduced 75-cent rates to 5 cents, and entailed a loss of millions of dollars on Central Traffic lines. The reduc- . tion began this time with the Grand Trunk basing at 45 cents and its competitors charging 4S cents. By the see-saw process of the other lines meeting the Grand Trunk rates and the Grand Trunk dropping three cents to preserve its differential, the rates beginning to-morrow are S9 cents for the Grand Trunk and 42 cents for the other lines. On Friday the other lines will come back at the Grand Trunk again by quoting a SO-cent rate, and then it will be the Grand Trunk's turn. These reductions involve, not only the immense amount of traffic going in refrigerator cars, but also live stock and all its.product3. . Tho whole fight is a harvest for the dressed-becf and cattle men, who will charge just as much for their product as heretofore and pocket the difference ; in freight rates. Every 3-cent reduction' meant just $6 a earless freight for the shippers. The joke of the whole matter, however, is that the Wabash and Canadian Pacific are standing the brunt of the reduction. It will be remembered these two lines formed a new route to the seaboard which practically monopolized the dressed-beef and kindred traffic. Well, the new route is still takintr nearly all of the business, but tt steadily declining rates, which will reach a nn-paying basis with one or two more reductions. As a rival general freight agent remarked: "It is getting to be a mighty costly fight for the line carrying the freight." Althou gh attempts are now on f ootjto clear tip the Western freight situation, nothing has been accomplished, in the way of advancing rates. They are still on what may "be termed a war basis, although there has teen no open reduction or secret cutting for some time. Strange as it may seem to those who know the contempt with which the interstate-commerco act is regarded by . many railroad men, this freedom from manipulation is owing almost entirely to fear of it. Since Chairman Cooley has sufficiently recovered to again take his duties as commissioner, it nas quietly been given out that he is just "honing" for a chance to secure evidence of a manipulated rate, lie knows as well as anyone that they were of momentary occurrence, but the difficulty was in securing evidence, lie has Hooded the West with secret agents, who confidingly gave themselves away to intended victims, but .who had the good effect of inaugurating a reign of temporary honesty among Western rate-cutters. This truce was seized upon by Chairman Walker, of the Interstate-commerce Railway ' Association, and several of the Western , presidents to formulate a now agreement ' or a new association. The present one has no standing whatever, General Manager Egan. of the Kansas City road, remarking in a Western Freight Association meeting the other day that his line did not consider itself bouud by tho interstate association, although his road had not even considered it worth their while to withdraw. In other words. be considered it dead since the withdrawal of the Union Pacific and tho Northwestern. The new movement has attained such proportions that it is certain of success if Congress sanctions pooling as is expected. - Chairman Walker, who returned Friday from Washington, said on this subject: "It As almost certain that Congress will amend the interstate-commerce act so as to allow pooling. All practical men must see that it is the only way of securing stable and reasonable rates. The fear of unreasonable rates is the only argument against . pooling, and if the regulation of the pools were left in the hands of the Interstatecommerce Commission there would be no danger of any unreasonable rates being charged. If pooling is recognized, we can easily avoid the disastrous rate wars which it has come to be known are as bad for the shipper as they aro for the roads themselves." The Dannar Week of the Tear. The train records show that there were received and forwarded at Indianapolis in the week ending Juno 14 a larger number of loaded cars than in any week of . the present year, exceeding tho movement of any previous week of 1S00 by 1.2S8 cars, comparison with corresponding weeks of previous years being even more striking. The excess this year over 1S80 is 3.8C7 cars; over 1888, 4,031 cars; over 1SS7, 4,911 cars. The increase seems to havo been general in its charactsr, the north-and-south lines showing the most marked improvement; the Cincinnati lines, especially, doing an exceptional business. Easthound the shipments of grain are comparatively lignt, and export business continues down to a minimum. Shipments eastward of lumber, wool and live etock are heavier than usual in June,, and the shipments of the latter will increase from this on for some weeks to come. Westbound the tonnage is very satisfactory in its volume, exceeding that of last year 10 to 12 per cent., and the billing shows that the business is carried at good rates. Shi proents to Pacific coast points have increased largely the last thirty days, the traffic eeemingly having adjusted itself to the prevailing rates. Business over the north-and-south roads is practically limited by cars. The Big Four (Chicago division) delivered at Cincinnati 1.403 loaded care: the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Indianapolis handled at this, point 1,023 loaded cars, which was the banner week of this year for that road, and this road is troubled to get cars enough to handle the business o He red. The Jeffersonville, Madison Sc. Indianapolis and the Chicago division of tbe Pennsylvania lines were never doing a heavier business. Local business of all classes continues very ht.avy, and tho business is of so miscellaneous a character as to demonstrate that the business of the country is on a bjaltby basis. Tb large apount of building going on in the r v v nid o er the Stato makes the shipments vi In Jdit.g material an important f eaturo f t)i . local business, and manufactories of all kinds are shipping goods in ail directions. Below is given the number of cars received and forwarded at Indianapolis in the week ending June 11, as compared with corresponding weeks ia 1S80 nd IStiS:

It will be known as the Canadian Pacific line, and to say that the other eastern lines out of Chicago look with favor on the en croachments of this foreign line would be far from speaking the truth. The inauguration of no new line has stirred up more feeling than this. Francis Lee. one of the officials of tho Canadian Pacific, when interviewed by a reporter of a Chicago paper, said: "All we do i to give the Wabash our through passengers from Montreal and other points at Detroit and take theirs going to points in Canada, We simply say to them, 'Here, you take theso passengers from Detroit to Chicago. We will furnish you with them in these Wagner coaches, and we will take any that j'ou bring us from Chicago for Canadian points at Windsor and carry them to their destination.' Our arrangements are. in fact, simply a traffic agreement in regard to through business, very similar to that which the Milwaukee fc St Paul has with the Northern Pacific, or the Chicago & Northwestern has with tho Union Pacific. Wo do not come here with any intentions of being disturbers of the peace, or with any desire to interfere with existing rates. We have no intention of inaugurating a rate war, either passenger or freight, and there is no foundation for the rumors that are afioat in that respect." Personal. Local and General Notes. T. O. McXeff has been appointed agent of the Indianapolis &. Vincennea at Spencer, Ind. Tho stockholders of tho Cincinnati. Ham ilton & Davton will hold their annual meeting in Cincinnati to-morrow. The Louisville, New Albany &. Chicago is neguxiaung wiiu me vjuiv rana vaxworks for additional freight equipment. J. F. Tucker, assistant general manager of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, is to be appointed, it is stated, assistant to the president of the road. The Indianapolis car-works have been asked to bid on 200 refrigerator cars for Armour fc Co., and a like number lor tho Fairbank Canning Company. Since May 15 the Lake Shore road has i a . . i , i a : received iweniy xeu-wiieei iqcouiuuvcs from the Brooks works, and six switching engines from the Rogers locomotive-works. Three of the Mackey lines show an in crease in earnings the first week of June of $2,685. And the Ohio &. Mississippi comes ud with an increase the first week in Juno of only $409. . General Manaeer Black, of the Louisville, New Albany &. Chicago road, has notified holders of annuals over- the Monon that a new form of nass has been adopted, and that old passed will not be honored after Julyl. The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton and tbe Erie people are nguring to secure an oince 021 wasnington street in a gooa loca tion in which offices both tbe passenger and freight traffic of the lines will bo looked after. This week a meeting of the directors of tho Richmond Terminal system is to held. when it will be decided whether the Rich mond Terminal will be represented indi vidually or as a corporation m the new Baltimore &. Ohio deal. me vandalia management announces that the St. Joe extension will not be opened on the 15th, as expected, but it will be between now and the l6t of next month. The Vandalia people are purchasing independent terminal facilities at St. Joe. : Thirty days from now tho Transmissonri Passenger Association will pass out of existence. Of the twelve roads which were in it all but three have given notice of a withdrawal from the organization, and it disbands through force of circumstances. The four train-dispatchers who resizned last week on the Louisville, New Albany cc umcago roaa because tne omcers were willing to give them a chance to do so, say that they were unable to do the work assigned to them. Their places have been hlled by promotions. The survey of the Grand Rapids, Chicago & St. Louis road from Grand Rapids to Isenton Harbor; was completed last wek. The line, when bnilt.it is stated, will be operated bv tho Grand Ranids & Indiana Railroad Company, meaning that it is a Pennsylvania Company extension. '. The understanding now is that A. M. Stimson. seneral a cent of the liiir Four. will, on Julyl, take the superintendency of the Kanawha & Ohio Valley road, and o rn Di : 1 : A. hl; division of the Big Four, is to be superinJI A.

At the special meeting of the incorpo rators of .the Indianapolis v Northeastern Railroad Company, called for ths 27th of this month, stops will probably be taken A i ii i 1 1 . . , lowaru commencing iuo ouuumg oi me road, which, when completed, will be the direct eastern line of the Lake Erie & Western, running from Indianapolis to Muncie. Tho Vandalia has been experiencing a good deal of trouble from high waters in the vicinity of Logansport, on the T. II. & Lu division. On account of their track be ing undermined, for three days they havo been using the Panhandle tracks to get their trains through, ine Wabash had trouble on its Lei river division from the same cause. The election of Robert Harris, ex-president of the Northern Pacific road, as one of the directors of tho Toledo, St. Louis te Kansas City road, is exciting some comment. and the election of II. O. Armour. another of the directors, is evidence that there is good money backing behind tho road, which certainly, until quite recontlv. has been a burden to its friends. Boston capitalists having sunk millions of dollars in tne property. Shipments of frnits will hereafter be ac cepted by the lines in the Central Tratfio Association from lines south of the Ohio river without prepayment or guarantee. with the understanding that in cases where melons, fruits or vegetables aro refused or sold for charges any deficit will be made up by . tbe road over which the goods have passed from the point of shipment to destination, such deficits to be prorated on the basis of revenue to each road transporting tho property. E. B. Stahlman, formerly general managor of tho Louisville, New Albany & Chi cago road, now third vice-president of tho Louisville & Nsshvillo, Las mado some statements that mzy have a bearing to de feat tne bill now pending before tho House giving tne interstate-commerce commis sion the power to fix rates. He states that it will require at lenst 1.500 clerks, as the Louisville & Nashville with its 4,000 miles of road, keeps seventy-hve clerks constant ly employed in tlie department which fixes the rates. The ten-wheel express engines which the isaiawm locomotive-wonts built for the Baltimore & Ohio road were guaranteed to haul seven passenger coaches up a 117-foot grade seventeen miles long at twenty-live miles an hour. Tho one which has just been put in service has more than met tbe guarantee, last week hauling with ease eight leaded coaches up this grade at tbe required speed. With these engines tho weight on tho drivers is 102,000 pounds. Tho total weight of the engine, without tank, is io.iav pounas. The Erio is assuming the aggressive at this point, and with good results, as is evidenced by the increase of Erie business over the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton. The newtrallic agreement between tho two roads is said to cover a period of thirty years. All former contracts havo been for only five years. H. G. Stiles has been ap pointed joint agent ot the two companies at this point, a ad he has employed several clerks whoso services will oo entirely in tho interest of the Erio road. W. H. Ten nis, who has been apppiuted the treneral agent of the Erie in this territory, is one of the Erie's old war-horses, having been with It lor twenty-lour years. The prospectus of a newly-nroiected transcontinental railroad has just been issued. The name signed to it is Thomas Breen. Tho road is to be called the Vir ginia, Missouri & Western. It is to run from Norfolk, Va., through Virginia, Tennessee. KentuckyMissouri, Arkansas, In dian Territory and Texas, to Iscilita. N. M., where it will make connection with the lines running to San Francisco. Ac cording to the prospectus preliminary survey has been made, and elaborate calcnla4inti. . n nr tlitf Vi K1a j-i t - 2 . n A S70.000.000. Tho road is to be bonded at $25,000 per mile of double track and 815,000 per mile oi single track, tho bonds to run for fifty years at 5 per cent. The intention of the company is to have the main line in operation from Portsmouth. Va.. to Bel mont, Mo., within three years from next

January. One clause of the prospectus reads thus:" "What is now reauired to uo

done is to raise about S500.000 by subscrip tion to the stock of the company of county bonds, this amount to be used in the accurate security of the right of way by deed and other expenses, preparatory to issuing the bonds of the company.

To the Editor ot the Indianapolis Journal: It would Tsecm, from the numerous re ports of live-pigeon matches of late in the papers, that our humane people havo gone to sleep. Why is Indianapolis to bo dis graced by exhibitions not allowed in other cities? Hecause in these other cities the laws are enforced against such sports, so from all directions the shooters Hock to our city, where, although we have ample law we seem to have no one bravo enough to raise a voice against its violation. Can it be that out people approve of such educa tion for their children? It has been said (nerhans not justly) that the Commercial Club would not denounce it, becauso these matches are a means of bringing strancers to our city. A bull-tight has been sdggosted as giving variety, being nuite as hnmano, and drawing equally well. The clergy of this city are unanimous in their condem nation of the apathy of our people, and have signed a remonstrance, which it is hoped other citizens will indorse. Drawn up by private enterprise, under tho auspices of no society and circulated by a lady wo is actuated solely by her pity for the 1 less and her disapproval of cruelty, it shi.uld have the support of every lover of the human race, for while it is true that mercy "blesaeth him who cives and him who takes," it is enually and sadly true that cruelty degrades all who perpetrate and witness it more than it harms its speechless victims.

ANOTHER GAME FOE QUINCY

Indianapolis Starts in with a Rush but Unable to Hold the Advantage. Two Thonsand People Witness the Contest Evansville and Terra Hante the Other In terstate Winners Association Games. HIE LOCAL GAME. A Large Crowd to See the ITome and Quincy Team Tlay. . . Tho ball game at Coy's Park yesterday afternoon proved a strong attraction, and two thousand people saw Quincy defeat Indianapolis in rather a loosely-played con test. The grounds are not of the sort conducive to brilliant Melding. They are rough, and errors come very easy. The pitcher's box is higher than the plate, and this elevation gives tho pitchers an ad vantage which tends to make tbe hitting light Indianapolis tried Healy, of Noblesville, in the box, and he bothered tho visitors not a little with his left-handed curvec. He is a feather-weight pitcher, but, with tho necessary experience, will hold his own in the Interstate League. His support yesterday was very poor.. Had it been of the right sort the game might have resulted differently. acuaub was away off in his work at tnird. ana bliarp's catching was wretcued. lie had never before caught a left-handed pitcher, and seemed unable to handlo liealy's delivery with any success. Swift made hi hrst appearance with the team ana distinguished niraseli by a great ono-handed nick-up of Kout clltTs slashing t grounder in the sixth. Ho plays very deep and his long reach enables him to stop most every thing that comes his way. Swift is, however, a second baseman, and not used to the position he played yesterday. A uign inrow in mo eigmu inning, wmcu coat a conple of runs, partially spoiled tbe impression he made on the play in the sixth. The borne team did no batting to speak of. Schaub's home-rnn hit over the right-held fence in the second inning being the only long hit of the game. Al I isher, of this city, who plays short for Quincy, was the only member of that team who gauged Healy's delivery. He hit for two double baggers. Routcliff stopped two long line drives by l'andall and Petti ford which looked safe. Long played a pretty game at second for Quincy, and Meek's back-stop work was excellent. With two out in the hrst, Randall got a base on balls and reached third on wild throws by Munger and Slater, the former having tried to catch him napping. Pettiford was applauded as he stepped to the plate, and responded by driving the ball to left for a single, Kandall scoring. This performance aroused much enthusiasm. O'Leary retired the side on a foul fly to Meek. The visitors in their half, however, put a damper on the crowd by getting in two runs. Houtclitf was hit by a pitched ball, and by leading off first, drew a wild throw from Healy, .which advauccd him a base. Prcscott hit a slow ono through the box and heat it to first. Long struck out. Prescott stole second, and Sharp threw down, Goldie returning the ball too late to catch Koutcliff, who is too fast a runner to work that play on, and who scored quite easily; Slater hit to Hcalj who threw wild to first, Prescott reaching third and scoring on Fisher's sacrifice. Uu&chman flew to Pettiford. Swift's base on balls, and Schaub's hoinerun hit netted Indianapolis two more in tho second. Buschnian's fumble gave Weihl a life in the third, and Randall's single to center advanced him. Meek threw wild to second to catch Randall on a steal and Weihl came home. Pettiford and O'Leary struck out, and Swift was thrown out at first by Fisher. The home team could no nothing after this inning, getting bnt one safe hit a slow grounder, which Weihl beat to first in the eighth inning. It availed nothing, however, as he was doubliU'd on Pottiford'a fly to Routcliff. : Quincy took tho lead in tho fifth and hold it to the end. Prescott hit safe and stole second. Long was retired 'at first and Slater struck out, but Sharp missed the third striko and Prescott scored, Slater reaching first. Fisher's two-bagger to left 6ent him home, liuschman was thrown out at first by Swift, bnt Murray's grounder was fumbled by Schaub and Fisher scored. Meeks struck out. Slater's single to left, a sacrifice, a passed ball and fumble of Bnschman's grounder gave Quincy another in the seventh. In the eighth. Goldie's fumble of Prescott's grounder, a wild throw by Swift, another error by Schaub, and Bnschman's single, added two moro to the visitors' string. Score:
