A DECREASE IN TONNAGE - 4 A FALLING OFF IN THE LOADED-CAR MOVEMENT LAST NVEEK. Enst-Roond Hate* to He Restored— Hilling: on Differentials Troubling; the New York Produce Men. Following several weeks of unprecedentedly heavy traffic Indianapolis lines in the week ending May 14 show a decrease in the loaded-car movement; still last week's movement was above what has, until a few months past, been considered the maximum volume, 20,000 loaded cars, the average being but 18,000. In the week ending May 14 there were received and forwarded at Indianapolis 28.1 iO cars, 21,892 being loaded. This was a decrease of 1,272 loaded cars when compared with the week ending May 7, but was 4,611 more than were handled at this point in 1897, 5,468 more than in 1896, 3,340 more than In 1893, and 6,171 more than in 1894. From these comparisons it will be seen that the business of the week ending May 14 was largely in excess of any former year, even in months when traffic is usually the heaviest. The falling oft was wholly in eastbound through business and in shipments of grain, the higher prices apparently having checked rather than increased business. How'ever, the calls for cars on Saturday indicated that a reaction had set in, and that the lighter movement was but temporary. Shipments of provisions, cerealine products and dressed meats are up to an unusually large tonnage. West-bound business continues quite heavy and in excess of May last year, and an um sually large portion of the west-bound traffic Is of the higher class freights. Still In heavy groceries and iron structural work there is large tonnage. North-and-outh roads are in clover. It will be noticed that the Louisville and Chicago divisions of the Pennsylvania and the Big Four lints show a heavy movement of freights. Os course the war helps these roads, as it does the Monon main line, which is now doing the heaviest business north and south in many years. North-bound the roads named above are doing a heavy business. The south is shipping Immense quantities of fruits ana vegetables, and Southern pine and hardwood lumber is being shipped north by trainloads daily. Last week the Chicago division of the Pennsylvania line hauled north from here 560 and brought in 42S loaded cars, the heaviest business in the history of this division. The St. Louis and Bee-line divisions of the Big Four are again handling their old-time volume of business. So far as local business is concerned, freight agents say it is very active. The wholesale merchants and the commission houses are shipping more goods than for many years, and the packing houses, the stock yards and the manufacturers of products from corn are doing a larger business than ever before in May. The war has not decreased the shipments of any of the local manufacturers. Below is given the car movement for the week ending May 14 and for the corresponding weeks of 1897 and 1896: Name of Road. 1898, 1897. 1896. C„ I. & L.... 7 529 562 469 1.. D. & W 488 403 428 c..

New York Will Lose It* Prestige. The Interstate-commerce Commission, in dismissing the complaint of the New York Produce Exchange against the practice of allowing differentials to certain Southern ports on shipments of grain from the West for export, is causing much comment, as it is looked upon as being a serious blow to New York shipping interests. Not only the business associations of Philadelphia, Baltimore, Newport News and Norfolk are pleased over the ruling, but also Boston commercial bodies. The Boston Herald says: “As it is. New York gets a differential of 2 cents as against Boston on grain for local distribution, and were this difference to be applied to export grain Its effect would bv at once manifest. New York will find it a difficult matter to maintain her prestige as a grain exporting point through the medium of legislation, as there are other forces at work hardly within the range of human skill to overcome or set aside. It has been demonstrated during the past two years that there are a number of ports on the Atlantic and gulf seaboards whose location in reference to the great shipping centers of the West presents certain natural advantages which are not to be found at New York, and hence the change that is now taking place. The handling of traffic should be as far removed from artificial Influences as possible If the highest economy is a desideratum, and it is the application of this principle that marks the decay of New York’s export business.” Will the Instructions Be Obeyed? On Saturday the freight representatives of the several roads which are members of the Central Freight Traffic Association received notice from 11. C. Tucker, commissioner of the association, stating that the presidents of the several roads had authorized that east-bound rates should b? restored on May 30 to the basis of 20 cents per 100 pounds, Chicago to New York, and it was expected that every freight agent would govern himself by sucli instructions. Belt Road Traffic. In the week ending May 14 there were transferred over The Belt road 19,640 cars. Belt road engines handled at the stock yards 1,020 carloads of live stock, and for private switches on their line 754 loaded cars. Personal. Local and General Note*. J. Y. Falen has been appointed westbound agent of the North Shore Dispatch. George Breeount, commercial agent of the Monon at Cincinnati, spent Sunday in the city. A. H. Greevos will to-day go to Atlanta as representative of the Big Four as Southern freight agent. The International Association of Car Accountants will hold its 'Hnnual meeting at Atlantic City, N. J., June 21 and 22. The United States Investor computes the earnings of 130 roads for April at $14,533,066, an increase over April, 1897, of $5,967,969. Since Jan. 1 the Erie Western lines have earned $1,169,008. an Increase over the corresponding four months of 1897 of $50,490. The Wabash people announced that the Windsor & Buffalo Air-line, on the Buffalo extension, will not be opened for through business until May 29. J. J. Hannahan, vice grand master of the Brotherhood of Trainmen, will this evening address the railroad men and their families at Dennison. O. The Santa Fe has issued an open tariff making a 10 cents per 100 pounds rate on cattle and hogs between lower Missouri river points and Chicago. % The elevator of the Pennsylvania Company just completed at the South Chicago yards Is said to be the most modern and best equipped in this country. Money is being expended liberally on the Grand Rapids (v Indiana in the way of building new bridges, rebuilding depots and extending side tracks and yards. O. Cornlelson has been appointed superintendent of the eastern division of the Chicago Great Western, with headquarters at Dubuque. This division extends from Oelwein to Chicago. Samuel Goodman, general freight traffic agent or the New York Central lines, lias been promoted to the position of assistant freight traffic manager under General Manager Guilford. The American Express Company has declared a semi-annual dividend of $3 per share, payable July 1. The Adams Express Company has declared a semi-annual dividend of $2 a share. The Pennsylvania & Ohio Railroad Company is securing the right of way to build a road from Ashtabula to Painesville, 0., expecting to get the road built <o run trains over within twelve months. J. M. Wheelock, of Lawrence, Ind., who did the first work hi the construction of the Bee-line division of the Big Four, has in his possession a home-made auger which

was used to bore the holes in the mud sills to which the flat rails were pinned, which work was done in 1849. The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton has been given a contract to haul I,oo© carloads of coal from Cincinnati for the Indianapolis Artificial Gas Company, and is hauling it at the rate of ten cars per day. In making up the summer schedule of the Knickerbocker express over the Big Four between St. Louis and New York the time will be shortened, it is ur.derstod, thirty minutes, and possibly one hour. The Big Four lines proper handled at Indianapolis in the week ending May 14 a total of i£,991 cars, 10,559 being loaded, 674 fewer than in the preceding week, but -2,537 more than in the week ending May 13, 1897. E. A. Ford, general passenger agent of Cue Pennsylvania lines, is catching the war spirit. During the civil war he made a good record,. participating in several engagements, and w;fs once severely wounded. The Chicago & Northwestern passenger department has issued a very attractive hand book with cuts of the buildings of the Transmississlppi and International Exposition at Omaha and points of interest of that enterprise. The experiment of excess fares on fast trains between Chicago and Colorado points will soon be numbered among the mistakes of the past, as at the meeting to-morrow tli© excessive fare plan will be abolished, it is stated. The four Pennsylvania lines handled at Indianapolis last week a total of 7,139 cars, 5,235 being loaded. The loaded-car movement over the Panhandle east was the heaviest on record, being 1,392, against 1,033 loaded cars brought in. The Vandalia handled at this city last week 2,921 cars. 2,106 being loaded, 514 fewer loaded ears than the road handled at Indianapolis in the week ending May 7. Os the in-bound business 160 cars wore loaded with live stock. In its retrenchment policy the Panhandle is experimenting by doing away with brakemen on the Richmond division local trains, which usually consist of but two cars. The conductor will be required to attend to the train. The band of the Monon shops at Lafayette accompanied the Lafayette K. T. commandery on their visit to Indianapolis Friday, and the music rendered by it was spoken of in very complimentary terms by experienced musicians. George Daniels, general passenger agent of the New York Central lines, has taken the initiative in urging trunk lines to run excursions at low rates during the summer to Western points via Omaha, thus benefiting the exposition at that city. On Saturday afternoon the employes at the Monon shops, at Lafayette, with appropriate exercises, raised upon their new pole an American flag ihirty-six by eighteen feet. Col. R. P. De Hart made an address and the Monon shops band furnished the music for the occasion. W. H. Newman, who has been, elected president of the Lake Shore road, on Saturday went to New r York to meet President Hill, of the Great Northern on his return fiom Europe. It is understood that Mr. Newman’s position on the Great Northern will not be filled until May 20. William L. McFrederick, secretary of the Pennsylvania Company’s Employes’ Association, has just published his annual report showing that the organization is in splendid financial condition. At their reading room in Allegheny an immense map of Cuba has been placed on the walls. Engine 838, which hauled the exhibition train of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul which were in the city on Saturday, has a record unequaled in the world, that of hauling a train of thirteen cars seventyfour miles in seventy-seven minutes, slowing down at two railway crossings, one drawbridge and taking water when making run. One of the most remarkable railroads in the country will soon be completed. It crosses Lake St. Clair to the place known as the Flats, the Coney island of Detroit. In building the bridges, driving the piles and sheet idling, cribs, etc., 10,000 oak piles. 2,000,000 feet of hemlock, 3,000,000 feet of white pine, 2.000,000 feet of yellow pine, 600,000 feet of white oak timber. 100,000 feet of white cedar and 800 tons of iron will be required. Addison Hills, late assistant to the president of the. Lake Shore road, whose death was mentioned last week, was one of the originators of fast freight lines. He originated the present system of interchange of cars and of through billing. Mr. Hill always opposed pooling bills, taking the ground that pods prevented legitimate competition and led to the construction of new parellel lines of railway. P. A. Bonebrake, superintendent of the Louisville division of the Pennsylvania lines, states that this road, on the main line between Indianapolis and Louisville and the Cambridge City branch, is now doing the heaviest business at any time in the last twenty years, and a large per cent, of the business is the best paying class of freight. Passenger earnings as well are showing decided improvement over the spring of any year since 1893. Mr. W. J. Long, supervisor on the Michigan division of the Big Four with headquarters at Anderson, will on May 15 go to the St. Louis division to take a position as .supervisor of tracks of one of the most important districts on that division. The change will be a promotion, and carries with it a handsome increase in salary. Mr. Long has been in the Big Four service about five years. His first position was in the engineer's office at Cleveland, after he had completed a course in engineering at the Rose Polytechnic Institute. Terre Haute. In the fall of 1895 he took his present position on the Michigan division.

“YBLLOWI9M.” England Threatened vrith an Invasion of Till* Unpleasant Malady. London Mail. The very latest affliction of this decadent age is—yellowism. By this time most people, except in the extreme rural districts, are aware that the great American republic (there are several of them) is enjoying a more or less literary util put known as yellow journalism. There are three reasons given for the title, one being that a New York newspaper made a great feature of the yellow fever scare, issuing hourly editions full of absurd exaggerations; another accounts for the origin of the phrase by the fact of the extras being often printed on yellow paper; but the real origin of the term probably lay in an Immensely popular series of fictions in the New York World, illustrating the exploits of n. character known far and wide as the “Yellow Kid.” This “Yellow Kid” was a sort of precocious gamin-oum-brownie-cum- Wally pug child, and ho was at once seized upon and imitated in other New York journals. Soon whole pages were'being printed, mainly In yellow, recounting the adventures of the "Yellow Kid." The Yellow Kid generated an entire species of draughtsmanship and letterpress. In all the unpleasant rivalries between those two millionaire newspaper proprietors, Messrs. Pulitzer and Hearst, the Y’ellow Kid played a prominent part. Mr. Godkin, the editor of the New York Evening Post, is generally credited with having first referred to yellow journalism. He described It as that section of the public press which pamleled to the lower instincts of humanity, which reveled in sensationalism, which dealt in canards and horrors, and was without truth, art, refinement or grammar. But :t must not be supposed that this telling phrase is going entirely to be confined to journalism. It is much too good a term to be wasted when there is so much need of it. Why not yellow politics, yellow literature, yellow art. and—this above allyellow drama* 1 And so at this moment a wave of yellowism is sweeping over America. Its watchword is sensationalism. Do something daring, something to make a stir, to make people talk, or (in transatlantic phrase) to "make people sit up.” And somehow, as a mere Briton ponders upon this curious phase of decadence, ho r<.calls that in his own country there used to be a kind of literature—not so eonmian nowadays—known as yellow-backed novels. These were generally supposed to be a potpourri of blood and thunder, cheap sentiment. and a great deal of the doubtful; in fact, it was a sort of “The Conquerors” in book form, with the trifling exception that it was rarely dull. Then came a quarterly called the "Yellow Book,” and by-and-by there came along the "Yellow Aster." We, too. have had our yellowness in literature, and now we are going to have, if what a prominent English actor recently returned from Yellow Land says is correct, our yellow drama. Yellow drama, to begin with, is the sort of drama provided by the syndicate. The syndicate in America ts all-powerful. Just a- there are wheat trusts to control all the wheat, sugar trusts to controll all the sugar, oil trusts, coffee, beer and whisky trusts, so there has within the last year or two grown up a dramatic trust to control all the drama. It is not generally known on this sitle of the water that nearly the whole of the theaters In most of the large cities of the United States are controlled by a single syndicate. Almost every actor and aclr< ss in the United States of any repute—among the few exceptions being Mr. Joseph Jefferson and Miss Minnie Maddern—are in the pay of a solitary concern. Twelve of the principal playhouses in New Y’ork citv are in the syndicate's hands. With such a monopoly the kind of drama the syndicate provides is naturally one which it suits them to provide. Competition being thus ■slain, and theater-going being a habit with most Americans, the audience has to put up with what it can get. The Prevailing Fad. Puck. Winder—Why do you call those goods you manufacture “sanitary?” Grinder—Because 1 cun get twice as much for them.

Indianapolis Lost Sunday’* Game, but Went Down with Flying Color*. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. COLUMBUS, 0„ May 15.—Bumpus Jones was a stumbling block to the Hoosiers this afternoon, as six scattering hits were all the visiting batsmen secured, while they were obliged to content themselves with one run, and that was a gift. Frank Foreman also pitched a grand game of ball, keeping the nits well scattered and allowing but one pass :.o first, and like Jones, had it not been for an error, a successive row of ciphers would denote ths outcome of the game. Only two errors were made, the shffftstops on Bach team being the offenders, and it was due to their misplays that the runs were scored. It was a fast and brilliant game, three lighting double plays being executed and both twirlers were remarkably effective with men on bases. Foreman struck Lally out twice and Buckley fanned the air oncev on each occasion the situation being such that runs would surely have followed hits. The Senators could not hit until a man or two had been retired and only two of their hits did any good. In the second inning Stewart lilt to Hulen, and the latter made a bad throw to first. Allen’s single to the right field sent Stewart to third and he scored when Kahoe beat an infield hit to first. Buckley singled in the fifth and when Jones bunted Allen muffed Foreman’s throw to catch Buckley at second. Mertes sacrificed and Buckley scored when Hulen hit to Stewart the batter landing on first as Stewart tried to catch Buckley at the plate. After Lally struck out Butler singled, scoring Jones. Frank was hurt while sliding to second in the first inning, and was forced to retire from the game. Attendance, 2,500. Score: Columbus. A.B. R. H. O. A. E.

The Philippine islands are said to be rich in gold deposits. Officials of the Navy and State Departments say France is not violating the neutrality laws. The German people and press are still bitter against the United States, but the government remains neutral. Spain has protested against France permitting the cruiser Harvard to make repairs at the island of Martinique. Sampson's fleet was reported off the northern roast of Santo Domingo on Saturday. The Spanish fleet was at the island of Curaeoa, north of Venezuela. One American marine was killed and seven were wounded at Cienfuegos in an attempt to cut the submarine cables. The Spaniards turned Maxim guns loose on the Yankees. The cables were finally cut. (From Sunday’s Second Edition.) To Save Two American!*. KEY WEST. Fla., May 14.—The United States war ship Uncas, Captain Brainard, left here soon after midnight last night for Cuba to rescue two Americans captured by the Spaniards on Friday. Correspondent Knight, of the London Times, is aboard the Uncas. and the plan is to send him ashore under a flag of truce to negotiate for the surrender of the prisoners in exchange for two Spanish captives taken on one of the prizes. The Americans were carried over by a dispatch boat on Friday, and were sent ashore in a small boat, effecting a landing near Mariel. As the small boat approached the land there was no sign of life ashore, and it was thought the men were safe. Dispatches received yesterday told of the capture of the men by Spanish soldiery almost immediately after their landing, and of their imprisonment in Fort Oabanas as spies. Negotiations with Washington were promptly begun, and orders dispatching the Uncas on her mission of rescue came last night from Secretary Long to Commodore Remey.

French Pa pern Want Snlisidy. WASHINGTON, May 14.—A story is told to-night on apparently excellent authority which accounts for the unfriendly attitude of the French newspapers. The story is that an agent of the French press has been in Washington for several days trying to obtain a large sum of money from the government with which to subsidize the newspapers of Paris and other large cities. He is represented as having interviewed Speaker Reed and other prominent men, by all of whom he was rebuffed. His failure to blackmail the government accounts for the malice of his clients. The man is still in town, and has not given up his enterprise, though advised that its a hopeless cause. Sewell Will Not Go to War. WASHINGTON. May 14.—Senator Sewall, of New Jersey, who was nominated to be a major general in the volunteer army, has informed the secretary of war that he will decline the honor. This action presumably is due to the belief of the senator that In accepting a commission in the army he would be compelled to resign his position in the United States Senate. As Senator Sewell was appointed from civil life, the expectation is that the vacancy will be filled in a similar way. The senator had also been assigned to the command of the troops to be concentrated at Washington, and his retirement will necessitate anew selection for that command. Red Cron# Societies to Feme. NEW YORK, May 14.—At a conference of representatives of Red- Cross societies and the Philadelphia committee of relief societies, held to-night at the home of former Gov. Levi P. Morton, it was unanimously decided that the different relief organizations of the United States should amalgamate for the prosecution of relieving the sick, wounded and distressed in the Span-ish-American-Cuban controversy. Amalgamation is the outcome of a suggestion by President McKinley which Secretary of War Alger made to the Red Cross Society relief committee at Washington on Thursday. 9linrtnge of Conned Goods. RAN FRANCISCO, May 14.—The Immense purchases of canned goods made by the government in this city has practically exhausted the supply, and local merchants are keeping the wires hot with orders to replenish their stocks, which were generally reduced during the Klondike excitement.

THE CRUISER NEW ORLEANS. She la the Latest Type of u British War Ship. New York Post. Perhaps the most interesting vessel In the United States navy to-day is the new cruiser New Orleans. She is nothing less than a British man-of-war flying the American flag, for only a few weeks ago she was at having just been turned out. a spleqfp new cruiser, by the gfeat English ship-TTaking works of Sir William Armstrong. And. by way of an early variety In her career, she was at that time flying the green and yellow flag of Brazil. Even so late as a few days ago. when she left the navy yard at Brooklyn, there was still upon her stern In the midst of a mass of gold arabesque work the Portuguese name of Amazonas. When she was purchased by this government she was already owned by Brazil, and Brazilian officers had been living on board of her for several days. The Armstrong Company, of Newcastle-or--Tyne, had expressly built her for the South American republic, which takes no pains to construct its own men-of-war. preferring to pay other countries for doing such work. When It cornea to turning out a great ship of war, it is little more trouble to the Armstrongs to do so than it is to a Marblehead boat-builder to turn out a dory. The Brazilian Navy Department did not .nterfere with the designing of the Amazonas, except in insignificant details, so that she is to-day the very latest type of a modern British cruiser. Before going into technicalities let me speak of her general appearance. The New Orleans is a ship that makes an impression. Even a farmer could see something unusual about her. As she swung Into the stream last Sunday, from the navy yard, to start off for the war. she was sleek with anew coat of slate color, and her long and narrow- shape, low sides and extremely Jong guns made her look different from ordinary men-of-war. There was little top hamper about her, except two tall military masts, on each of which were two platforms mounted with small guns. She was so low as to present a small target to the fire of an enemy, and so full of guns as to give the impression of being extremely dangerous. She is very swift, capable of making twen-ty-one knots an hour; and now that her long flanks have put on the gruesome and evanishing color of war gray, her shallow form will glide through the furrows of the sea and be barely visible a few miles distant, even on a bright day. On a murky day she would be a deadly surprise to any enemv who is unprepared. The largest guns of the New- Orleans are twenty-five feet long, which is nearly five feet longer than similar guns of American make, and they add largely to the peculiarity of her appearance. There are six of these, and the caliber of their bores is six inches. One of them surmounts the forecastle—a "how chaser:” another one displays its humped back and long proboscis on the poop deck, while two more crouch on either side. It is very noticeable how exposed are all the guns of this ship, the sides of the ship being much cut away to allow a full swing for the long barrels. Between the six-inch guns on either side are two more guns of 4.7 inches caliber, and between these last two and directly amidships there is still another gun, a six pounder. The caliber of 4.7 inches Is new to us, the nearest we have to it being five inches, but the English guns, being longer, have more penetrative power than our own of larger make. It. is these differences and others in the guns of the New Orleans which have made her of great technical interest to our naval officers. Continuing with the list of her guns, there are. fore and aft, eight other six-pounders. These are what is known as rapid-firing Nordenfeldt guns, with a caliber of 2.24 inches. Two of them aae placed directly in the captain's quarters, which are not habitable when gun drill takes place. Up aloft in the military tops are six more small rapid-firing guns—four Nordenfeldt one-pounders and two of the d* Uly automatic Maxim guns. All these small weapons in the lops are for the purpose of destroying the great guns’ crews on the enemy's vessels when within the radius of accurate fire. A broadside from the New Orleans includes fifteen guns of all sizes. In size ami battery she should he compared with the Raleigh, but the latter's guns are not as effective as the newer Armstrong guns of the same bore. The weapon-throwing jm->w-er of the New Orleans is best explained by the statement that the “muzzle energy’’ of one of her broadsides during one minute is 7,278 foot tons, a foot ton Ijeing the product of weight by velocity. The muzzle energy of otic of the Raleigh's broadsides is about 15 to 20 per cent. less. With her low freeboard and great speed it is easily seen how elusive a target the New Orleans is, and with her powerful battery how destructive an enemy she may become. With a welltrained crew she should tire six shots a minute from her six-inch guns, twelve shots from her 4.7-inch guns and no less than twenty from her six-pounders. It will surprise the average citizen *0 know that a modern six-inch gun can be trained and elevated by a single man with a rapidity that almost reminds one of the ordinary handling of a fowling piece. In skilled hands the fearful energy which I have spoken of can effect a carnage that we must shrink from thinking of, and yet a carnage which all this energy is xpressly intended to enact. leaving such thoughts to the jingo, who relishes them much more than naval officers, let us go on to say that the New Orleans is fitted to run away as well as to fight, and that a hostile battle ship would soon make her fly. The guns of the latter are twice as large und twice as deadly, and besides a battle ship has side armor so thick that the guns of the New Orleans could not hurt It. The sides of an ordinary cruiser are only from onehalf to an inch thick. But the New Orleans has her engines, the vitals of the ship, below the water line, and also covered by a protective deck, which slopes downward as it approaches the ship's sides, and fs made Os steel three Inches thick. A still further protection of the engines is a row of coal bunkers six feet in depth, which extend along the inner side of the ship and rest on the protective deck. The New Orleans is what is known as a

Col. IliitilinHon'M Little Story. Boston Advertiser. The appointment of four major generals of volunteers at this early stage of the war. with nobody knows how many more to follow, recalls a little story that Col. T. VV. Higginson was in the habit of telling, to the infinite delight of his auditors, fluring the Butler gubernatorial campaigns. It will hear telling again, though m type it must inevitably lose no small share of Us oharm. Soon after the close of the civil war Colonel Higginson himse'.f went among some personal friends, especially farmers, to persuade them to give employment to ex-soldiers, tine day. in the hay harvest season, the coionel visited a prosperous landed proprietor who had readily responded to the patriotic appeal. “How do you ilke the soldier boys as hay makers?” asked Colonel Higginson. “Oh, well,” replied his friend, ”1 will tell you how It is. Yonder,” pointing to one loaded wagon, where a man who evidently knew his business was shaping the heap of fragrant dried grass, "is a private. Ho is as good a Held hand as i ever had or want to have. Ami there.” pointing to another part of thu field, "is a corporal, at work pitching hay. He is getting along from fair to middling. But. you se that man who Is raking -1 Well, he Is a lieutenant; and all I’ve got to say Is that if those are fair samples, you’ll never get me to hire a major general.
