TOO DIFFICULT TO SOLYE

The Central Traffic Association Vainly Tackles Some Knotty Problems,; Cartage Charges and Differential! Acrcss Lakt llicfcljran tbo Troublesome Question The Grand Trunk FroTts a Sturnblicff-Bloclc. The managers of the lines in the Central Traffic Association net At Chicago yesterday and tried in vain to ioWe some knottr problems that bare recently presented themselves, The Chicago & Grand Trunk Is s thorn In tbe flesh of some of the other roads, and all because it persists in parsuing a policy that is in the interest of Chicago shippers without discriminating against shippers at other points. Its position on tbo question of cartage has been steadfastly maintained, although repeated efforts bare been made to induce it to restore the cartage charges in that city. This was one of tho questions discussed yesterday, and Commissioner Blanchard and Chairman Walker were .requested to draw up an agreement to be submitted to the managers of all the Chicago roads for consideration. The committee on differentials across Lake Michigan reported that it had not been able to reach unanimous agreement, although a proposition to reduce the differential from I to 1 eent per one hundred pounds on Hour received 9 affirmative against 5 negative votes. The Western Freight Association bad declined to appoint a similar committee for a joint conference on the subject. On the question of differentials across Lake Michigan and the trannier of loaded tars across the. lake via Kewannee and Frankfort there was much earnest discusion. The Michigan Central and the Grand taplds & Indiana roads bad rsdooed the rates via Mackmavr to meet those of tbo Kewaunee line from St. Paul to the seaboard, and the Grand Trunk bad come to the rescue of the Chicago-St. l'aal lines by Ioining them in making tbe same rates via ;hicago- Nor could the Grand Trunk bo prevailed upon to reconsider its action, for, as a ooneoquenoe. it will get tbe great buls: of the Hour traffic via Chicago to tbe New England sea-board. The matter of the car transfer across tbe lake by tbe Kewaunee line was finally referred to tho ofliceri of the joint committee of tbe Trunk-line and Central Tratllo associations for a ruling. It was decided that all lines would unite in joint aotion through the commissioner's office when any action shall be deemed necessary to meet competition via the 800 line and Canadian Pacific to Eastern points. The division of east-bound freight iraftio from Chicago was discussed, but no conelusion was reached. v , Nothing came of tbe meeting of tbe passenger department of the Central Tratllo Association. The purpose was to adopt rules governing special party rates, but there was not a fall representation of the Interested lines, and it was decided to adjournnntilJan.il. when a joint meeting Will be held with the Eastern trunk lines. Earning of the Pennsylvania. The statement of the business of all lines of the Pennsylvania Company east of Pittsburg and Erie for November, 1802, as compared with tha same month in 1801. shows an increase in gross earnings of $322.557, an increase in expenses of fr9,S27, nnd decrease in net earnings of f Cfl.TTO. Tbe eleven months of 1S2J. as compared with the same period of 1891, show an Increase in gross earnings of $1,276,910, an increase in expenses of $3,701,789 and a decrease in net earnings of $1,424,879. , All lines west of Pittsbnrg and Erie, f6r November, 1892, as compared with the same month in 1891. show an increaae in gross earnings of $75,473, an increase in expenses of $20.103 and a decrease in net earn in as of f 154. 63a Tbe eleven months of 1892, as compared with tha same period of 1891, show an increase in gross earninss of S3,9J9.9&. au increase in expenses of $3,030,003 and a decrease in net earnings of J135,0C5. Changes on tha Mackey Lines. A list of appointments, to take effect Jan. 1, on the Mackey lines, which include tbe Louisville, Evansville & St. Louis consolidated railroad, the Peoria, Pecatnr& Evansville. and the Chicago & Ohio Hiverroads. has been made up as follows: J. K. Campbell, general agent of the L., E. & St, L.. Louisville; J. li. Sample, superintendent L.. E. & ttt. L., Huntingburg, Ind.: If. B. Starbuok, superintendent P..D.&E. and C. &. O. Rrailroads. Mattoon, 111.: E. O. Hopkins, vice-president aud gentral manager. Evansville; I?. A. Campbell. fenera! freight and passenger agent. St. oolsi A. O.

Local and General Kotes. J. II. Kurtz has been appointed ehlef eterk in the ticket receiver's office of the Pennsylvania Company at Pittsburg. The Panhandle limited train. 21. now makes tbe run between Pittsburg and Denlson. 93 miles, without making a stop. CoL William Shaw, who represents the Chicago, linrlmaton & Quincy in this territory, has retarned from Hot Springs much improved in health. The annual meeting for eleotion of directors df the Indianapolis, Decatur fc Western, which was called for yesterday, was postponed nntil Jan. 28. v Thomas Lamb, formerly a passenger conductor on the Pennsylvania lines, now with the Colorado Midland, is visiting friends in ltichrnond and Indianapolis. The Lake Shore road hasjnst completed an undergrade crossing at Cascade street, Erie. Pa,. which cost $43,000. but it will pre vent the loss of many lives in years to tome. The Baltimore & Ohio was the only one of the trunk lines which sold tickets during the holidays at excursion rates, and they are said to have done an unprccodentedly large business. Six distant switch signals are now being irected on the Indianapolis & Vinceunes road. This line is gradually beingeqmpped with modern inventions for the safe and sxpeditious movement of trains. The Ohio Falls iron-works, which manufacture largely railway supplies of a heavy character, will resume operations next Monday. The works have been shut down for some time, undergoing general repairs. Col. John Trindle. the veteran passenger conductor on the Yandalia. holds the first policy issued by the Railway Officials' and Employes' Association, which wss lasued in AuLtnst, 18S4. There are now over W.CO0 in the association. The citizens of .Marlon, Ind., are objecting because the three roads passing through the town have such inferior buildings for depots, and are urging the companies to unite and build a union station or replace their present inferior buildings with more modem depots. A. J. Ilitt has been appointed assistant general superintendent of all of the lines in the Chicagott Rock Island system west of the Missouri river. Mr. Ilitt was for many years a conductor on the Marietta A Cincinnati, and later general yardmaster of that road at Cincinnati. J. D. Welsh, general agent of tha Union Facitie. spent yesterday in the city, and from what can be learned the efforts of competitors of the Union Pacifio to turn business from it will be met by giving the ticket-scalpers an opportunity to handle Union Pacitio ticketa more freely than formerly. All the train-dispatchers of the Pittsburg division of the Pennsylvania Company's lines will be located at Allegheny after Jan. 1. This means the concentrating of tbe train-dispatchers' force at Wooster. O., and Allegheny. This places twenty. six train-dispatchers under the supervision of Chief Train-dispatcher Lang. All tfcs passenger equipment now run on the Indianapolis, the St. Louis, the Cleveland, the Cincinnati and the Chicago divisions of the lMgFooris equipped with the Janney courier and ataam-heatlng apparatus For the last ninety davs. at the several shoos of the lUg Four, the work of equipping the coaches has been going on. The Scsibem Factfio has placed an order for ten thousand tons or stsal rails in Kn island. San Francisco delivery, at figures which, it Is said, will force tho price of ateel rails oi American manufacture down

$2 per ton. For two years past $30 a ton has been the prevailing price of rails in this couutry. This means $23 per ton to meet English prices. The Chicago & Western Indiana management is getting tbe terminal system of several Chicago roads in shape for handling the world's fair business. Its four-tracked road, which now extends from Dearborn Station to Forty.sixth street, will, within the next ninety days, be extended to Sev-enty-hrst street, giving a four-tracked road out of Chicago for seven miles. A railroad attorney of high standing remarked yesterday, when speaking of the burdens that Harry Crawford, sr., was carrying in his Inuiaua Midland road, that without question Mr. Crawford was one of the ablest and shrewdest railroad attorneys in this country, but as a railroad man he was a failure. He made large fees as a lawyer, and theu expended the money in building railroads where no railroad man of good common sense would think of building a road. John Holland, foreman of the Chicago &. Alton railroad boiler-shops, in lUoomington, 111., tendered his resignation yesterday, to take effect at once. Mr. Holland has tilled this position since 1858. His resignation excites comment in railroad circles because it follows so closely the resignation of A. W. Ouackenbusb, maeter mechanic, and T. M. Hate, master of transportation of that road. No canse for the resignation is given. Tbe strike of tbe Alton boilermakers, which began four months ago, is still on. The ticket scalpers say that the general adoption of limited tickets will he of benefit to thera. as they will apply largely to local travel, irom which they now reap but little benefit. The limited tickets they will be obliged to handle more expeditioosly on through business, but tb!s means that they will buy -them at their own price, as they do excursion tickets good for forty-eight hours. The margin on the limited ticket, as a rule, is three times that of an unlimited ticket, while their loss if not sold is not so large. A railroad man of considerable experience, in speaking of the Louisville. New Albany & Chicago securing terminal facilities of its own, remarked that John R Carson, in 1887. when president of the road, bad an opportunity to secure the Indianapolis, Pern A. Chioago road from Indianapolis to Michigan City, with its excellent terminals at Indianapolis and its fine terminals and docks at Michigan City, at a sum which wonld not have exoeeded what the L., N. A. &, C. people have spent at Indianapolis and will spend to perfect terminals here. It is stated officially that the Chicago, Burlington & Oulncy has spent nearly three million dollars in construction of the buildings, bridges and other terminal facilities it now has at St. Louis, and that, beginning with the new yeur, it is proposed to make the St. Louis gateway of tbe "Q' as important a one as that via Chicago, running fast trains of line equipment, leaving on the arrival of the Wabash, the Big Four and the Vandalia and the Obio& Mississippi trains from the East, and. in turn, the "Q" will interchange traffic with the same roads on east-bound business to an extent to amply reciprocate. J. W.'Greenen. trainmaster of the Indianapolis division of the Pennsylvania lines, and a veteran iu the service of the company, atates that in his long service be has never known such a volume of business moving over the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg. There have been times when some one division was as crowded with freights as now, tint on other divisions traffic would be light, and engines could bo transferred from one division to another and relieve the blockade, but such is not tbe case now. Every division needs more power than it can obtain, and it is almost Impossible to hire engines from other roads, as business with them is equally pressing. Officials of the Order of Railway Condoctors are considerably exercised over so large a cumber ot passenger conductors employed on the Pennsylvania Hues withdrawing from the organization, and are quietly at work, hoping to iind the real reason therefor, and should it be discovered that it is tbe beginning of a fight on the organization by tbe Pennsylvania officials, an attempt will be made to induce all labor unions to boycott tbe Pennsylvania lines in alt directions. Officials of the road, however, hoot at tbe suggestion that tbe company is making a fight on any labor organization, saying that so long as the work of tbe company is done efficiently tbe man doing it will cot be disturbed, no matter what organization he holds membership in. The Pennsvlvaoia company is constantly summoning freight conductors, twoor three off of each division, to Pittsburg, to attend the sohool of preparation to handle passenger trains. They are supposed to know all about the moving of train signals and transportation matters, and thisschoollng tests them in mathematics and clerical work connected with the service ns a passenger conductor. He is obliged to know all about the classification of tickets, all railroad connections of the Pennsylvania lines, canceling of tickets, and to learn all the complications in this branch of service. This requires a good deal of close application and study. Occasionally a man, on learning what he has to go through to. become a competent pansonger conductor, withdraws aud goes back to his position as a freight conductor. "One of the mistakes of the owners of the Indianapolis, Deoatur & Western," said a practical railroad man, "is that they have not built to some one of tbe coal districts, and thus secured ooal for their own use and for shipment to towns and cities reached by tbe I., D. &, W. By building six miles of road the best coal mines of Parke county could be reached, and it is stated that this branch could readily be built for $30,000 or less by using old rails which should be taken up on the mam line and replaced with a heavier rail; and there are other points equally feasible to build to. I know that it is tbe intention of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton people, should they seoure control of the I., D. & W.. to build branches to collieries within a few miles of the I., D. & W.. and further that it is the intention of the C, H. &. D. to carry out President Hammond's scheme of building west to Quincy, or somo other good Western railroad point where good

connections can be made." J. . O'rteale, auditor of tbe I., D. & W., in speaking of building a coal branch, said the earnings of the road could be increased $10,000 a month without any extra exertidn, and he tbinks that if the present management continues in control of the property building a branch coal road will be one of the first moves after pending litigation is ended. Trustees Peirce and Sands favor auch a move, but as trustees they cannot take the necessary action. AMUSEMENTS. Three ot the city theaters will have changes of attractions to-day. At the Grand. Nellie Mclienry, a comedienne of excellent powers of entertainment, will open an engagement in II. Gratton Donnelly's musical comedy, "A Night at tbe Circus," which not only affords theolever star excellent opportunities, but also permits the other members of tho company to do something ' in the fun-making lines. There are plenty of songs in the piece, and some unique features, which have contributed much to its aaccp.ss. The engagement is for three nights and a Saturday matinee. Joseph Arthur's popnlar comedy drama, "The fctill Alarm," witbits various, exciting scenes. rorurs to , English's to-night for .the rest of the week, with an unusually strong cast, in whioh Will S. llarkins and Mabel Bert have the leading parts.. The chief interest, howover, is centered in "Little Tuesday," a wonderfully clever child, whose songs and danoes have made the "hit of the show," a the professional expression has it in "The Still Alarm" she introduces her various specialties m a very entertaining way. The Park's new attraction to-day will be Tomer's comedians iu a new farce-comedy, "A Fit in Three Spasms." There are such well-known performers as Ueorgo W. Turner, (tus Bruno, Lea Pearley and Josie Love in the cast. The last of the college clubs to sing in Indianapolis will be the Oberlin Club, at Plymouth Church, Saturday evening. Supplies for State Institutions. To-morrow is the day for ho award cf contracts for January supplies for the publio institutions in this city. The requisitions are on file in the office of the custodian of the 3tate-nouf. Are excellent for tbe relief of heat-recess or sore ; throat. They are exceeding ly effective." Chris-

MAY COMPROMISE THE WAB

Monument Commissioners and Grand . Army Committee in Conference s. Easla of an agreement That Will Probably Be Reached to Remove All I'ates from the Upper AstraaL A few weeks since the department council of the G. A. li. and a few past commanders met in this city, and the following com niittee was appointed to confer with the monument commissioners 'relative to the dates to which tbe members of tbe Grand Army and other Union soldiers in the State so eeriously objected: Commander Cheadle, C. A. Zollinger, John L. McMaster, B. C. Shaw, Benjamin Starr. Tuesday, upon the suggestion of . General Hanson, one of the commissioners, Commander Cheadle was telegraphed that tho commission would be pleased to receive the G. A. II. committee and listen to any proposition it saw fit to make. The committee, with Judge Black, District Attorney Chambers, Adjutant-general Bobbins, J. V. Hill of Greensburg, and J. M. Paver, who were present by tbe invitation of tbe committee, visited the commissioners yesterday. But two members were present, chairman Langsdale and General Manson, but tbe cha'rman said that any proposition which the committee had to make would be presented in writing to the absent members. The chairman called upon tbe committee for any statement or proposition it bad to make. Commander Cheadle said that the opposition to tbe Mexican dates was growlng more determined the more they were considered. lie said that posts of tho G. A. K. had voted nearly unanimously against the Mexican dates and had adopted a resolution in favor of removing all the dates from the upper astragal, while only six posts by a majority vote had sustained the action of the commissioners. He stated that a meeting of the Fifty-eighth Indiana Regimental Association, held at Princeton last week, at which uearly three hundred members were in attendance and a large number of members of other regiments, adopted unanimously, by a rising vote, a resolution against the Mexican dates. Some question being raised as to the nature of the resolution adopted by the Grand Army posts. Colonel Shaw read it from the circular, as follows: Kesolved, That we respectfully request the monumental commissioners to take from the upper astragal of tho monument all the figures now on the four sides that harmony may prevail among all who have contributed to the honor and glory of Indiana. Chairman Langsdale called attention to the resolution which bad been adopted by the commissioners regarding the tablets on the bases of the monument, nnd asked if there would be objection to them. For the information of the U. A. IL committee, the resolution was read, as follows: Resolved, That the north tablet of the monu ment be devoted to inscriptions of tho campaigns or vineennes ana Tippecanoe, givintr tue number of men engaged In each, and to Indiana's record In the Mexican war. designating the reg iments, with the number ot men In each, and the south tablet be devoted to Indiana's record : In the war for tho Union, giving the regiments and the numbers therein. The members of the committee hastily consulted, and replied that if all tbe figures were removed from the astragal the committee wonld make no farther opposi tion to the tablets, and would use its lntluencetonntan end to the contention. General Manson askea if the action sug gested by the Anderson Post resolutions would go on if such au arrangement wss made.' He was ready to accept the direc tions of tbe Legislature, and. perhaps would prefer that course. Major Bobbins explained the Anderson resolutions and the contention in Thomas Post, which Gen. Manson did cot understand. All of Thomas Post who expressed an opinion were opposed to tbe bgures. but a number of them desired to drop the contention and f;o to the btate encampment and get a relation declaring that the Grand Army would not participate in the dedication of the monument if the Mexican dates were not removed. All the members of the committee expressed an earnest desire that an arrangement might be reached which would put an end to the contention, which seemed to involve so many serious . conse quences. Chairman Langsdale requested tbe G. A. B. committee to put its proposition in writing and file it with the commissioners. The committee thereupon retired to Judge' Blaok's room, where, after an exchange of views, itadopted the following proposition: Indianapolis, Dec 2S, 1892. To the H. ncrable, the Board of Commissioners of the fetal eowue'a' ana sailors iiouumeuts Tbe undersigned, a committee appointed br direction of tbe council of administration of the Department of Indiana, O. A. H., to consider tbe controversy as to tbe dates on the State soldiers' and sailors' monument and to confer with tou concerning tbe same, and, ir polbie, to secure a friendly and harmonious adjustment of all differ ences, uo nereby submit to rou ror your consideration tbe following proposition, namely: That you remove all dates from tbe upper astragal of tbe roouument. If this aotlon is taken and tbe board, in Its wisdom, chould place tablet Inscribed with the data of tbe military history of Indiana on tbe north bae of tbo roouument. we are pathried that such action will not meet with 6trlous opposition from tbe soldiers of the Elate. Jos. li. Ciikadlk, Joitx L. McMaster, O. A. Zollinger, 11. C. Shaw. Bex J. 8TAKR, The committee and thosa who were with them were much encouraged over what they believe to boa satisfactory solution of the controversy over the monument, and, in consequence, wore very much relieved, knowing, as its members do, the dangers incident ton further protracted contention. Adopted the Aiideraon llesolatloua. Chapman and Ruckle posts in this city have indorsed the Anderson Post resolutions appealing the matter of the Mexican dates to the Legislature. Reduced Rids for the Groups. The monument commission yesterday received word from Nicholas Geigcr and Ilnndrieser. the successful designers of the war and peace groups, saying that they had forwarded reduced bids. PemUtent M'.rpri(enttton. To the Editor of the Indiananolls Journal: In the Indianapolis News of, the 27th the charge is made that "tbe G. A. K. strnggled to have their -badge on the monument." Allow me to quote from tbe proceedings of k the Department Encampmcst. March, 13, 1SS0: The monument committee. In a report signed by comrade Langsdale and other members of the commission, requested the G. A. 1?. to appropriate at least $:;(X)0 to place a memorial of the G. A. IL encircling the shaft Col. 1. N. Walker, then. A. A. G.f tosether with comrades James T. Jcnnston. GcoraO W. 6pahr, Irvin Robbies ar.d others, insisted that no badge of any order should be placed on the monument, and, After discission, the resolution to make tbo appropriation was defeated. At no time has the G. A. R. ever voted to place their emblem on the face ot the monument. At the last encampment it was voted that the statues representing dillereut eras in our military history should be placed adjacent to the base of the monument. The order has always endeavored to help make this a work of art, and not belittle it in any way. A Comhapk. Fire That HelpeU Out an Argument. A story-and-a-half frame, ocenpied by W. A. Runyan. near Twenty. second and Mississippi streets, was burned to tbe ground early yesterday morning. Tbe ten. ants were away at the time of the fire. The loss is total, but is largely covered by Insurance. Sam W. Cochran is the owner of tbe proporty. This blnte was cited by tbe committee of citizens which asked the Hoard of Pnblio Works lor fcro protection yesterday morning. L.arir Itel-Erre Deals. Knight & Jillson yesterday purchased from Mta.

The contract for the purchase was made and part of the goods shipped, while the Jenny people were manufacturing their wares at West Indianapolis. Before the entire lot was shipped, however, the Jenny, company sold out to tbe Thompson lioniton concern, and the latter declines to pay the commission. The consideration paid lor the St. Louis plant was 8130.000. Tollce Court There was a small dooket yesterday morning in tbe court for small offenders.

Story of a How on a 8treet-Car. .The street-railroad company was yesterday made defendent in a suit wherein Samuel E. Evans asks 15,000 for an assault upon him by a condnctor on the Irvington line. Evans says that he boarded a car at Maryland and Tennessee streets and desired to be transferred to an East Washington-street car; that he was put upon an Irvington car, to which line no transfers are permitted by the company.

POPDLIST POWWOW ENDED

Leaders Express Hie Hopes for tbe Future, and Then Disperse Manifesto Issued Ailing Legislators of the Faith lu Western States to Stand by Their Colors. The work which called the State and national Fopolitt leaders to this city was completed yesterday afternoon. Tbe principal matters under consideiation yester day were the instructions to State organ izers and tbe selection of the organizers. Henry Vincent, of the Non-Conformist, will be the organizer for Indiana. Alter the national executive board had adjourned yesterday tbe Indiana In dustrial Legion was organized. The or-. ganization of five counties, by the terms of the constitution, entitles a State to a State organization. It was shown that Indiana had the requisite nnmber. Jay county leading with five legions. All the Indiana Populists present were told to return home and each was authorized to organize a legion in his locality. II. E. Taubeneck chairman, and J. H. Tnrner. secretary of the national commit tee, left for Washington yesterday afternoon. Tnrner will at once occupy himself with the printing of the revised constitution, many thousands ot which will be supplied to the various States. Commander-in-chief Vaudervoort will leave for Chicago this morniug, and will, go to Omaha in a few days. General Vandervoort said to a Journal reporter, last evening, that it would probably be a week beloro he had his list of btate organizers complete, since the greatest care must be exercised to select the best-quali fied men available for tbe work. He, with tbe other leaders, expresses the belief that the Industrial Legion is to have . a phenomenal growth, and that it will exercise a potent influence in swelling tbe Populist vote. Tbe last act of tho national ex ecutive council, previous to its adjourn ment, yesterday afternoon, was tho promulgation of the following manifesto: To the People's Party Leclslator Elected in Ne Drasita, joining, .nouiana, uaiuorma, aorux Dakota ana other States: We hereby request that all and eaoh one of you stand firm when it comes to balloting for United States Senators in your respective states.
