Traders* Building, : : Chicago RATE DEMORALIZATION GRAIN NEVER CARRIED AT LOWER FIGURES THAN AT PRESENT. * A Large Passenger Business Expected Tills Fall—Preparing; for the Official Inspection Trips. a— — A freight traffic manager of nearly thirty years’ experience said, yesterday, that, in his long career he had never known grain carried from the West to the seaboard at as low a rate as at present, and the most remarkable thing about the situation is, that the heretofore conservative Pennsylvania is carrying business at as low rates as any competitor, reversing the policy of the late President George Roberts and meeting competition at all points regardless of rates. "I am satisfied,” said he, “that the Big Four, in connection with the Chesapeake & Ohio, is carrying grain from St. i/ouis to Newport News at 10 cents per one hundred pounds; that the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern, in connection with the Baltimore & Ohio, is carrying grain from St. to Baltimore at 10 cents per one hundred pounds, and the immense business of the Vandalia, in connection with the Pennsylvania lines, convinces me that it is carrying grain at the same rate. I know that representatives of the Pennsylvania lines West have been instructed to get the business and meet any rate named by competing lines. The only salvation for the roads is that other classes of freight are carried at rates which leave eome profit above actual coat of transportation. I fear, however, that rates on provisions will again go to pieces, although restored to tariff but a few days ago. Another favorable feature of the situation is that west-bound business is heavy beyond precedent in September, and rates west-bound are very satisfactory and well held.” When asked the reason for such a state of affairs he said thac the only reason he had yet heard assigned was that It was done to meet the competition which the Illinois Central, the Port Arthur and other gulf lines were giving them on export business, the PTastern lines taking the position that it was as well at the onset to give the gulf lines to understand that the Eastern lines intended to get their share of the business. Railroad Consolidation. It was announced in Philadelphia yesterday that tkrfc Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf Railroad Company, the headquarters of which are located there, has secured conthe Little Rock & Memphis Railroad, which runs between Little Rock and Memphis. It is the intention of the officials of the first-named company to build an extension of 153 miles to connect the two lines. In order to finance the deal anew corporation, to be known as the Choctaw & Memphis Railroad Company, has been organized, and the funds needed to build the connection have already been raised through the eale of $2,200,000 of the new company's bonds. The Choctaw & Memphis Company •will issue $3,400,000 first mortgage 5 per cent. bond 9 and $1,700,000 each of preferred and common stock. Out of the issue of $3,400,000 bonds, $1,200,000 will be used in the acquisition of the Little Rock & Memphis, and the balance of the issue, $2,200,000, will go to a construction company in payment for the building of the 140 miles of road. Over $42,000 a Dny. The Big Four proper, in August, earned, gross, $1,301,5'16.25, an increase over August, 1897, of $54,858.44. The earnings for the month averaged $42,092 a day. Heretofore President Ingalls and other officials of the road have been well satisfied when, during one month, the gross earnings reached $40,000 a day. Last month a handsome increase in passenger as well as freight earnings was shown. Personal. Local and General Notes. The Chesapeake & Ohio in August earned $28,704 more than in August last year. The earnings of the Lake Erie & Western lor August this year were $5,771 less than in August, 1897. Thomas Collins, widely known as a railroad contractor, is critically ill at his home in Bellefonte, Pa. On Sunday the Lake Erie & Western will run a joint excursion from Indianapolis and Muncie to Lafayette. Since Sept. 1 the Illinois Steel Company has received orders for 30,000 tons of steel rails, 4,000 tons for export. Vv\ W Ray. chief train dispatcher of the Vandalia, accompanied by his family, has gone East for a two weeks’ rest. The Western Trunk-line Association will meet again at Omaha on Sept. 15 to attempt an agreement on and maintenance of rates. Indications now are that the Chicago-St. Paul roads will agree on passenger rates, form some kind of a pool and maintain rates. Engine 362. one of the new mogul type Just turned out at the Altoona shops for the Indianapolis division of tho Panhandle, arrived yesterday. James R. Watson, general passenger Agent of the Fitchburg road, has returned frem several weeks’ absence In Europe, much improved In health. The Vandalia has Increased Its shop force at Terre Haute. The work of equipping tho cars with automatic couplers and air brakes has begun in earnest. Howard J. Bell, Western passenger agent of the Lackawanna road, has Jus; returned from an extensive tour west, including ScAitla and San Francisco. He says rail-

road and commercial men take a cheerful view of the business situation. A circular announces the appointment of R. W. Llghtburne, jr., as general freight agent of the Kaunas City, Pittsburg & Gulf, with headquarters at Kansas City. In the twenty-four hours ending at 11 p. m. Sunday the Panhandle handled on the Pittsburg division fifty-five east-bound and forty-three west-bound freight trains. R. C. Haase, who is to represent the Baltimore & Ohio at Detroit, on Wednesday assumed the duties of the position. His title will be district passenger agent. In August Western lines delivered at Chicago 33.443 carloads of grain, against 57,693 carloads In August, 1897. and 22,083 carloads of live stock, against 24.7.04 carloads in August, 1527. John Robertson, one of the veteran employes in the Vandalia shops at Terre Haute, was buried, on Monday. He had b‘ fti in the employ of the company twentyseven years. T.ue Railroad Gazette has revised its figures as to new railway mileage built in tho first six months of this year, making it 1,292 miles, two hundred more miles than first reported. The directors of the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Company have voted to pay the full amount of interest at 4 per cent, on the company’s adjustment bonds for the last fiscal year on Nov. 1. Ideas of railway officials seem to differ. Tlie Pennsylvania is taking off brakemen and reducing its train crews, while the Chicago & Eastern Illinois is increasing the number of men to constitute a train crew. Tho Santa Fe inaugurated its limited train service between Chicago and the Pacific coast on Oct. 20. So great have been the improvements to the roadbed that in both directions the train will be scheduled fifty miles an hour. President Ingalls has selected Decatur Axtell as successor of the late W. P. Walker. jr.. on the board of managers of tho Joint Traffic Association. Mr. Axtell lives In Richmond, Va., and is vice president of the Chesapeake & Ohio. Train 21, over the Panhandle and the Vandalia, was run yesterday in four sections. the last three sections carrying the Third Regiment of Missouri, from Camp Meade, to Kansas City. There were fourteen cars to each train. The railroad men’s meeting at Cumberland, Md.. on Sunday was largely attended. Every railroad order was well represented. Matters relating to legislation were discussed at length and also other topics of interest to the railroad fraternity. Under the new' order of things R. C. Jones, district passenger agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, with headquarters at Cincinnati, will have charge of all territory on the Panhandle west of Steubenville, as well as the Indianapolis district. On Tuesday there was shipped from Peoria over the Vandalia thirty carloads of sugar, the cars containing 16,750 bags of sugar destined to London. England. From here the Pennsylvania Company carried the freight, it going to Baltimore, to be shipped from there Sept. 9. Passenger men who travel over the country a good deal express the opinion that passenger business this fall will be much heavier than for some years past, and that the usual dull business after the large gatherings are over will not be experienced. The Pennsylvania Company has purchased a large tract of land at Pittsburg, costing SIOO,OOO, on which to construct a system of bulk tracks. In clearing the ground seventy dwelling houses had to be removed. In the yards there will be thirtytwo tracks arranged in pairs, with thirtyfoot driveways between each pair paved with stone. In commenting on the order to close all saloons on the Union Pacific system in connection with the eating houses. President Burt, of the Union Pacific, says: “If the railroad company, as it does, enforces a rule of the strictest sobriety among its employes, and particularly its trainmen, it Is inconsistent for the company to hold out temptations to them, as it did when these saloons were open.” The Erie and New York Central are engaged in a rate war between Buffalo and Niagara Falls. For years the rate was $1 each way; now it Is down to 40 cents one way, or 50 cents the round trip, and to ether points between Buffalo and the falls a proportionately low rate has been made. It is said the Lehigh Valley is about to compete for the business between Buffalo and Niagara Falls. The following bulletin has been posted on the bulletin boards of the Erie lines: “To all passenger conductors C. & E. Railroad: There are at present and will be many sick and enfeebled soldiers returning home on furloughs. Many of these are hardly able to care for themselves. I wish you would please arrange to give such parties your personal attention as far as possible and also arrange to have your train porters to attend to their wants, making them as comfortable as possible. Tt is the desire of President Thomas that this is done.”

WASHINGTON. Sept. 7.-A cable message was received front Havana to-day stating that the Spanish authorities absolutely refused to allow the Ceniel to land the provisions which she carried for the starving inhabitants of Cuba, unless the full duty was paid. Secretary Alger thereupon ordered the duties on the million rations to be paid and directed that they be distributed under the supervision of the United States officers. Whatever opinion the department might have of the action of the Spanish authorities, it is believed that the United States cannot afford to allow the people who are hungry to suffer because the Spaniards insist on the payment of the full duty. It is also stated by the secretary that the United States insists on conformity to its erders where it holds possession and the authority of Spain in Cuba nust 'oe. recognized where its flag still waves. “Tlie Cnlan Crane.” To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: It seems to me that your comment on the Cuban flag, in Tuesday’s Journal, is hardly as broad-minded as it should be. Tills Nation went to war for Cuba because Cuba was oppreesed, and not because we expected to find the Cubans beautiful or wellbehaved. As we then had the war missionary spirit, it seems to me that the peace missionary spirit ought now to inspire us. By so much as the Cubans are ignorant, thievish and ungrateful by just so much should the United States adhere to pursue and enjoy the process of civilizing and reconstructing them. If we cannot admire the Cuban we can surely be consistent enough to cleave to the beauty of the principle which sent men out to suffer and die for him. The betterment of humanity, the progress of mankind, is the er.d in view; let us not obscure It by too fastidious dissection of Cuban characteristics. When a surgeon has a tine wen to remove he ignores the patient’s personal appearance in his enthusiastic admiration of the wen. Since we are to cure Cuba, why not encourage enthusiasm until the operation is over? New Albany. Ind.. Sept. 7. C. E. Brown tut vr mi O’* New Pre*ident. PROVIDENCE.

BIG TUMBLE IN STOCKS BEARS MADE A RAID ON THE MARKET AND THE LIST SUFFERED. ♦ Sugar Was the Speeinl Object of Attack and Heavy I.ittaldntion Rc*ulted—Local Markets Firmer.

The bears got the upper hand very decisively In the New York stock market yesterday and precipitated a more active selling movement than has yet occurred. There was speculative liquidation during the afternoon on a very large scale and offerings of long stocks in some properties which had elements of weakness were a material factor in the decline. Sugar occupied the center of the stage all day. It was evident before the market opened that the bears had marked it for their own and everything that could be done in the wav of discouraging reports of the company's business and disastrous competition in prospect was done through the medium of inspired publications. The movement was opportune, as the recent bull movement in the stock was accompanied by rumors of an increase in the dividend, and the declaration yesterday of only the usual dividend brought hea 'y selling from disappointed holders. Torrents of stocks were dislodged on the decline and ail the usual devices were employed to give an appearance of inside selling. The final rally in the stock was only feeble, the last price being otic below Tuesday night's closing. The demoralization in Sugar affected the whole list, but especially the industrials, Tobacco, the American Steel and Wire stocks. Lead, Manhattan and Rubber all show sharp losses. The railroad list held out longer against the downward course, especially the grangers, led by St. Paul. Railroads ultimately yielded, however, many of them showing losses betweeen 1 and 2 points. Rock Island broke badly in the final dealings, showing an extreme decline of 1%, and the Pacific stocks were conspicuously weak on realizing in connection with the announced determination of Canadian Pacific officials to accept the decision of the Interstate-commerce Commission against the differential in their favor on freight rates. The railroad list during the morning ruled quite generally above the previous night's level and People's Gas was also a strong feature earlier.

Demand sterling fell further to $4.85%. This is considered to be easily within the gold import point and gold is expected to come this week, a small consignment being announced after the close of the market. There is a noticeable increase also in the deposits of 3 per cent, government bonds to secure deposits of public money. On the whole the prospect seems to be for larger supplies of money within a short time, although the call loan rate was marked up to 4 per cent, in the late dealings. Dealings in bonds were on a fairly large scale and prices yielded slightly in the later dealings. Total sales, $3,135,000. United States threes, when issued, advanced % in the bid price. Government bonds were otherwise unchanged. The following table, prepared by L. W. Louis, Room 11. Board of Trade, shows the range of quotations: Open- High- Low- ClosName. ing. est. est. ing.

Stead, in Review of Reviews. Bismarck may or may not have been a man without a scruple; he certainly was not a man without a very living faith in a living God. He took as little stock in “streams of tendency’’ as Mr. Gladstone himself. Oliver Cromwell indeed was not more firmly convinced of the reality of a uivine Providence than this intellectual giant of the skeptical nineteenth century. This was in him a lifelong characteristic. When he was a boy Bismarck’s parents made a great point of inculcating truth on his youthful mind. When young Otto was fifteen it was Schleiermacher who prepared him for confirmation. Old Bismarck wrote to the famous preacher and professor, begging him in his instructions to lay special stress on the virtues of sincerity and truth. Schleiermacher confirmed Bismarck, and gave him as his motto for the guidance of his future life an altered version of Ephesians vi, 7—" What thou doest do as to the Lord and not to men.” When he was in the heyday of his fame, in 1887, he talked much to Sir W. B. Ricnmond ahout religion and prayer. “I remember,’’ he said, “at fourteen thinking prayer needless, for it struck me then that God knew better than I. I think much the same now, except that the usefulness of prayer is in that it implies submission to a stronger powei*. I am conscious of that power, which is neither arbitrary nor capricious. Os a future life I do not doubt. The present is too sad and incomplete to answer to our highest selves. It is evidently a struggle, then only in vain if it is to end here; ultimate perfection I believe in.” Nor was he in the least disposed to shrink from professing his faith before men. When Mr. Gladstone died. Lord Salisbury described him in his eulogiurn in the House of Lords as a “most eminent Christian.” Followers of the meek and lowly Nazarene would possibly be slow to recognize the man of blood and iron as a disciple of the Christ who was crucified. But Bismarck himseif had no misgivings as to his place among the believers. Nor was his a death-bed repentance. He did not postpone his avowal of faith in the unseen until things seen were becoming dimly visible through the mists of death. In the supreme moment of his career, on the eve of the war which gave Prussia the headship of Germany, in the midst of the war that made Germany the master of Europe. he avowed with proud humility that to him all that was vital in this life sprang from his faith in the life to come. A Thin Game. New York World. “Hoh!” remarked little Johnny to his uncle, with whom his relations were confidential. “our Sabbath school superintendent thinks he’s an awful smart man, but I don’t know so much about it myself. I wasn’t there last Sunday, but the other boys tell me he tried to put up a cute Job on a certain boy, and it didn't work worth a cent.” "Didn’t eh?” “Nope. He stood up and smiled as if he loved little boys like candy, and requested the lad who put red pepper on the stove Sunday before last to come forward and get a nice book with lots of interesting pictures in it. Thought held fool the boy with such a thin game as that! Pooh!” “And didn’t it deceive th** boy?” “Nawi Jdoy wasn't there!”

WHEAT BECAME WEAKER EXPECTATION OF RIG RECEIPTS AND DECLINE IN CORN HURT. * The Threatened Freeze in Corn nelt Did Not Materialize—Pro Vinton* Ruled Stronger. * CHICAGO, Sept. 7.—Expectation of big receipts together with a declining corn market weakened wheat to-day. September closed %c lower and December %@%c. Corn lost %o%c. Oats declined %@%c. Provisions ruled strong, pork advancing 2%c, lard 16c and ribs 10012160. Liverpool cables were rather disappointing and that, together with the weakness displayed by corn, started wheat lower. The receipts in the Northwest were smaller and the markets in that quarter were firm. That resulted in a gradual change of sentiment here and there was some buying for the long account, which finally started shorts covering and materially helped the prices. The feeling among the bulls generally was that the market has had nearly everything against it of late and yet has been so stubborn as to indicate that It possessed a good jjeal of inherent strength. They argued that prices were more likely to rally than to meet with further losses and for that reason traders as a rule took the long side. Advices from Minneapolis said that the movement there for the next three months would be on an increased scale. That, in addition to the declining corn market, j-eaulted in cooling the ardor of the bulls, and unlr realizing and short selling the price gradually declined until the early gain was more than lost. The market closed near the low point for the day. There was very little demand for shipping parcels here and such bids as came to hand were at reductions and unworkable. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 750 cars, compared with 512 the corresponding day of the year before. The total receipts at Western primary markets was 1,134,000 bushels, against 1,163,000 last year. Exports from Atlantic ports were equal to 490,000 bushels. September oj>ened %c down at 61%c, rose to 63c, declined to 61%c and closed at 61%c, buyers. December started !4@%c lower at 60%@60%c, rose to 60760610, reacted to 60V6@60*4c and closed at 60%@60%c. The failure of anything like damaging frosts to make an appearance In the corn belt last night and predictions of generally warmer weather weakened prices in the corn pit. Shorts, who had covered up yesterday in fear that threatened freeze might be a serious one, resold and there was considerable liquidation of long property. Prices continued to sag all day and the close was near the bottom point of the session. December opened *4c lower at 30%030%c, declined to 30c and closed at 30%c, sellers. There was a good business done in oats at the lower prices. Corn was followed almost all the time, but the losses were not nearly so large. May started unchanged at 21%@~22c and declined to 21%c, buyers, the closing price. Good general buying by packers, with the English concerns leading, strengthened provisions. The cash demand continued good for all descriptions of hog products. December pork opened unchanged at $8.37*6, advanced to $8.50 and reacted to $8.40, the closing price. October lard began unchanged at $4.72*6, weakened to $4.67*604.70, Improved to $4.85 and closed at $4.8216, sellers.
