Ninny Mile* of Second Track to Be Laid on Rond* < roKnlng Indiana the Coming? Year—General Nolen. * On statements made to the Interstatecommerce Commission by C. G. Blake, a coal dealer of Cincinnati, and the rate sheets on file in its office, the commission has issued an order directing an investigation of the following charges against the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Company: Fi r st, transporting coal from mines in West Virginia to Cincinnati at less than the published tariff rates; second, exacting greater charges from Blake and others than it has from the Chesapeake & Ohio Fuel Company for transporting coal from West Virginia mines to Cincinnati: third, discriminating In transporation facilities in favor of the Chesapeake & Ohio Fuel Company against Blake and others, including preferential and unjust apportionment or allotment of cars at the mines for loading and shipment of coal, and at times absolute neglect to furnish cars within a reasonable time to mine operators not conected with the fuel company. The case is set for hearing in Washington on Nov. 28. Detective Work. The minutes of the Association of Railway Claim Agents, covering the ninth annual meeting, recently held In Indianapolis, have been published in pamphlet form. The addresses arc interesting and contain much xaluable information. That of L. F. Loree, general manager of the Pennsylvania lines, was on railroad detective work, chiefly on the Pennsylvania lines, and was listened to with much interest.' Mr. Loree said he was rather astonished when he got the figures for 1897 to see what a lot of miscellaneous people had been gathered in as a result of the labors of the detectives. He said that during the year 5,513 persons were arrested on the Pennsylvania lines west. 4,531 for stealing rides on trains, 119 as trespassers, cloven on the gate ordinance at Cleveland, nineteen for robbery, 220 for petit larceny, 319 for intoxication, 209 for disorderly conduct, 186 for vagrancy, thirty-one for deft troying property, sixteen for stoning trains and fifty-two for miscellaneous offenses. In his address Mr. Loree said: “It may interest you to know what this costs us. To me it was one of the most gratifying results. Prior to the organization of the police service the force of special officers and watchmen on our Northwest system eonsisted of 115 men, and cost us $6'.*.846.16 per annum. The service to-day consists of one inspector, two clerks, five captains, thirteen lh-utenants. two passenger station watchmen, seven freight station watchmen, eleven shop watchmen, twenty yard patrolmen and twenty-two road patrolmen, a total of eighty-three men, and it costs us $53,429.40 a year. i. e., we are working with thirty-two less men, and we ore saving $16,425.76. We have substituted for a class of men who were of but little use a class of men who are of the greatest use; we have rid our road practically of trespassers. we have saved money not only, as Mr. Gilbert says, to his department of claims, but we have saved money on our pay rolls, and we are discharging a duty that as one of its best and most distinguished citizens, 1 think we may fairly be held to owe the State.’’

l*rr*onnl. Local aiul General Koten. The Chicago & Alton has declared a quarterly dividend of 1% per cent., payable X)e<\ 1. Charles Merrill, Western traveling passenger agent of the New York Central is In the city. The receivers of the Baltimore & Ohio announce that on Dec. 1 they will redeem all receivers’ certificates dated June 1, 1&)6. John Browning, passenger conductor on the Motion, has so far recovered from his recent injuries that he will take his train again next week. C. O. Stimson, division freigat agent of the Big Four, has been offered a more important position and has its acceptance under consideration. The Vandalia handled, in October, at Indianapolis. 14.617 cars, 12.471 being loaded, the mad bringing in 7,621 and forwarding west 4,850 loaded cars. The Big Four inspection party will reach here from the West this morning, and will to-day go to Greensburg, thence south over the Louisville division, ending the trip this evening. The McKinley Club at Huntington. Ind., cn Wednesday evening had a grand rally, and it is stated that of the several hundred employes in the Erie shops at that point every one was present. Louis Drago has been appointed Canadian passenger agent of the Vanderbilt lines, succeeding J. J. McCarthy, recently promoted to be general Western passenger egent of the West Shore. C. A. Barnard, who for three years past has represented the Continental line at Chicago, will go to Cincinnati to take the position of local freight agent of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton. The Baltimore & Ohio Railway has ordered 2,000 freight cars from the Missouri Car and Foundry Company, of St. Louis, making a total of over 25.000 that have been purchased in the past two years. The inspection part: of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific has returned, and President Purdy is much pleased with the business outlook on the several divisions. The party was out on the road ten days. Walter M. Pennington, general agent of the Vanderbilt fast freight lines at Memphis, Tenn., was in the city yesterday. He reports the cotton crop beginning to' move briskly and traffic very heavy with most ot the Southern roads. 'rSe earnings of the Indiana, Decatur & Western for October were nearly 13.000 in excess of those of October, 1897. The road is now earning enough to pay operating expenses and fixed charges and leave a surplus in the treasury. It is stated that the Panhandle will build a few miles of road from Zanesville to Lebanon, connecting the Panhandle with the Cincinnati Northern, which will shorten the line to Cincinnati and give a high-and-dry inlet to that city. Fort Wayne, on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago, has become one of the most Important way stations on the line in t> e way of shipments of freight, the manufacturers alone shipping twenty or more carloads of freight daily. C, A. Asterlin, joint ticket agent of the Nickel-plate and Columbus & Sandusky r<*ads at Bellevue, has been appointed district passenger agent of the former road, with headquarters in Fort Wayne, to succeed M. C. Baker, resigned. John Ferguson, general baggage agent at the Union Station, yesterday received a telegram from Springfield. 0.. announcing the death of Walter Trask, one of the older of the baggagemen at the Union Station. Trask was visiting In Springfield. The inquiry of the Interstate-commerce Commission Into the charges of rate cutting by the Baltimore & Ohio, made by the Southwestern Traffic Bureau, has been postponed until Nov. 21, which doubtless means that no more will be heard of it. The Wagner sleeper Mameluke, which is run on the limited train between Boston and Chicago, is said to be the finest and most complete ear of this class. It contains two dining rooms and a buffet. In addition to the usual smoking room and lavatories, and cost $19,000. Employes on the Panhandle lines west are entitled to a frank or pass for boxes or boskets free of charge, and it Is not unqsual for a baggageman on a train or a brakeman on a freight train to bring in butter, eggs, etc., consigned to employes of re•pective railroads. Several days ago William A. Sullivan, commercial agent of the Big Four at this point, was offered the position of assistant general freight agent of the Chesapeake & 'bio, with headquarters at Richmond. Va. Lest evening he said that the matter had rot been definitely decided on. or, in case be did go. when the promotion would become effective. It is understood that aJaould

Mr. Sullivan accept, his place will be filled by the promotion of some of the present local representatives. T. H. Johnson, chief engineer of the Pennsylvania’s Southwestern .system, has been authorized to at once begin the work of laying twenty-eight miles of second track on the Chicago division, which is the bebinning of constructing a double-track line from Chicago to Logansport. The net income of the Rock Island road for the month of September was $332,049. a decrease of $29,262 from the same month of last year. The net Income of the road for the six months ending Sept. 30 was $3,758,829. an increase of $337,185 over the net income of the corresponding months of the preceding fiscal year. The Chesapeake & Ohio reports gross earnings for September of $1,022,201. an increase of $84,378 as compared with the same month of last year, and net $363,973. an increase of $40,245. For the three months ending Sept. 30 the gross earnings were $3,022.095, an increase of $120,16-1 as compared with the corresponding period of last year and net $1,068,213, an increase of $61,852. J. M. Chesborough has completed his work as joint agent at Pittsburg for the roads during the Knights Templars conclave, all tickets still unredeemed being worthless, the time for honoring the return portion of the tickets having expired. On Tuesday evening Mr. Chesborough was given a banquet. He will now return to Detroit to look after the interests of the Queen & Crescent road In the North. On Tuesday the Big Four began putting its coaches in the shops for repainting and needed repairs. Last winter every coach owned by the company went through the shops and underwent general repairs, consequently, the work will not be so heavy this year, but it is the intention to convert several of the best coaches into broad vestibuled cars similar to those now running on the White Special between Cincinnati and Chicago. ' It is stated that the business of the Big Four iu the natural gas belt in October has exceeded all former records, at the more prominent manufacturing points twenty cars being loaded where ten to twelve were a year ago. and the gains in receipts from sales of tickets at Anderson, Mancie and several other points has been highly satisfactory. Where there was trolley-line competition the passenger revenue has not been much affected. The new block signal service and the long passing tracks put in this season on the Big Four between Indianapolis and Cincinnati are doing much to expedite the movement of trains. “But the fact is,” said one of the officials, “the Big Four company, if business continues to increase as it has the ast two years, will be compelled to double its track between Indianapolis and Cincinnati to prevent a congestion of trains. Traffic is now so heavy that It requires the greatest skill on the part of the train dispatchers to keep the fast passenger trains cn time. About twenty-three of the 110 mile* is now double track: the long passing tracks which could be utilized as second track will double-track the road an additional twelve miles, and on 90 per cent, of the rest of the road the grading for second track would not be expensive.

Rhea said to me last spring when we were all wearing flag stick-pins and fastening our shirt waists with army buttons. something that I disputed at the time: “Ah,” said she. “you Americans are as fickle, as mercurial, as changeable as we French. In two, three months the war will be over. Three weeks, a month, you will have forgotten it. You will not cheer, you will not care.” I thought it was absurd then, but now I perceive that the spirit of prophecy is not wholly dead among us. We are tired of cheering already.

A RECOVERY IN STOCKS RAPID ADVANCES IN THE LIST SHORTLY BEFORE THE CLOSING. ♦ Some of the Grangers Made New High Record Marks—Local Trade Continues Promising. * At New York yesterday money on call was steady at 1%®2 per cent.; last loan. 2 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 3%@4% per cent. Sterling exchange was firm, with actual business in bankers’ bills at 54.86%@4.*6% for demand and at $1.82%®4.83 for sixty days; posted rates, $483% and $4.87; commercial bills, $4.82. Silver certificates, 61%®62c; bar silver, 61 7-16 c; Mexican dollars, 47%c. At London bar silver was steady at 28%d an ounce. Total sales of stocks were 194,300 shares, including: Atchison, 4,505; Burlington. 6,113; Louisville & Nashville. 80,740; Manhattan. 2,202; Metropolitan Street-railway, 8,319; Northern Pacific, 6,393; Chicago Northwestern, 6,393; Rock Island, 5,947; St. Pau), 11,870; T'nion Pacific preferred, 3,432: Tobacco. 22,000; Federal Steel, 10.308; Federal Steel preferred, 14,204; Sugar, 30,000. The stock market psactlcally retrieved yesterday the losses of the two previous days, the majority of railroad stocks closing within a small fraction of the prices of last Monday. There was considerable irregularity at the opening, due to the depression in London. There was a good deal of activity during the first hour, mainly centered In the specialties, and changes in the railroad list were almost unappreeiable, though the market held a very hard surface. Trading was dull almost to the point of stagnation until the last few minutes, when the most notable gains were made. The movement started with a sudden advance of nearly 4 points in Metropolitan Streetrailway and Consolidated Gas followed with an almost equal gain. St. Paul preferred sold at 162%, anew high record, and Great Northern preferred jumped over a point. Other railroad stocks which extended their net gains to a point or over were Omaha, Northwestern & Denver preferred. Gains in the grangers and Northern Pacific and one or two other stocks approximated a point. The market was held through the early dealings by strength of Sugar, which rose above 115 and closed after various fluctuations. Tobacco and Federal Steel preferred also showed a hardening tendency, but were much less active than of late. The recovery in stocks was attributed to relief over the more peaceful prospects abroad indicated by the recovery in British consois, the easing of the discount rate in London and the weakness of the w’heat market. London bought in the New York market for the first time in several days. In view of these developments and the continued ease of the local money market the advance in sterling and continental exchange is difficult to account for. An incident of the outside market was the declaration on Standard Oil “assignments” of what is, in spite of circumlocution employed in announcing it, a dividend of 3 per cent, regular quarterly and 4 per cent, extra, bringing the dividends for the year up to 30 per cent., against 33 per cent, last year and 31 per cent, the year before. The traffic statement of St. Paul showing an increase for the fourth week in October of $141,464 was a sustaining force throughout the railroad list. There was a good business done in bonds, especially in reorganization fours, which showed a uniform tendency to advance. The liquidation of some heavy blocks in Atchison adjustments carried the price down %, with a subsequent recovery. Southern Railway fives rose to par. Total galas were $3,040,000. United States old fours, coupon, advanced % and the new' fours, coupon, declined % in the bid price to-day. The following table, prepared by L. W. Louis, Room 11.

MORE PEACEFUL NEWS ENABLED SHORTS TO EFFECTIVELY HAMMER GRAIN MARKETS. * Wheat and Corn Were Both Weaker from the Start—Provision* Scored Gains in All Lines. CHICAGO, Nov. 3. —More peaceful news from abroad to-day and a slack export demand, together with a heavy increase for October in European stocks, caused a decline in wheat. December closed %@%c lower. Corn lost %c. Oats advanced Me. Pork left off 21x0 higher, lard 2% #sc and ribs 2%c higher. Wheat opened weak enough to suggest that an era of universal peace had suddenly supplanted the late protracted period of war clouds. English government securities, howe’ er, opened somewhat lower than they closed the day before and according to rumors floating around the pit, England appeared to be spoiling for an immediate tussle with Russia as well as France, .vn inkling of what subsequent cablegrams revealed must, however, have been known to some traders who at the start had December wheat for sale at from Me to %c below last night's close. Some of the early selling was doubtless due also to the appearance of fine weather and the probable effect in prolonging the time of heavy deliveries by farmers. Chicago receipts were 313 cars, compared with 116 the corresponding day of last year, while Minneapolis and Duluth got 1,201 cars, against 1,037 a year ago. Primary Western market receipts aggregated 1,536,000 bu, against 1,423,000 a year ago and 1.288,(Mi0 for the same day last week. The Atlantic and gulf ports clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 500,000 bu. New York reported foreign acceptances comparatively light, both from the United Kingdom and the continent. The opening decline in prices here permitted the working of 56,000 bu No. 1 Northern for shipment to London. A Liverpool cablegram reporting Odessa stocks of wheat officially to be over 6,000,000 bu, instead of only 3,400,000, as reported at the end of October, had a considerable bearish influence. Another depressing feature of the day's news was Beerbohm’s statement, which made European and on passage stocks of wneat and flour 9,700,000 bu larger than estimated Oct. 1. December opened %#%c lower at 66%@66%c, declined to 66%c, advanced to 67c, then reacted to 66% c. At this low figure holders of put privileges had a profit and in trying to secure profits advanced the price to 66%@66%c, sellers, at the close. Trading in corn was not of an important character and although the feeling was rather heavy at times on account of the declining tendency of wheat, the loss for the day was all accomplished %t the start. The fine weather was suggestive of Increased offerings from the country in the near future and the estimated number of cars for inspection favored the same idea. The shipping demand was light, but the strength displayed by oats maintained prices. Receipts were 448 cars. December opened Me lower at 32%c, declined to 32#32%c, advanced to 32c and closed at 32%c, buyers.

Oats were particularly active and decidedly strong at times. Continued light receipts and a good general cash demand inspired heavy buying of futures. Receipts were 217 cars, or considerably less than estimated. May began a shade lower at 24%@24%c, advanced to 2514 c and closed at 25c, sellers. Liberal hog receipts and the weakness in grains started provisions weak. There were more buyers for the offerings, however, than could be supplied at the lower figures. Buying on a moderate scale continued even when prices rose beyond yesterday’s closing prices. January pork opened 5c lower at $9, advanced to *9.12%, then reacted to *9.97%, buyers. January lard started a shade lower at $4.97%, declined to $4.95, then advanced to $5.02%, buyers, the closing price. January ribs began 2%c lower at *4.62%, rose to *4.u(%@4.70 and closed at *4.67%. buyers.

The tone was steady and prices were unchanged on the basis of 2c for regulars. Woolen and worsted dress goods divisions of the market show rather more business doing in seasonable lines, but the demand was not satisfactory to sellers. Metals. NEW YORK.

Widely Different Characteristic* of the Gariepine* and Uuntus. Rev. John Mackenzie, In Good Words. Speaking of South African native races, and guided by comparative philology, we find that there are only two distinct families of people in the whole country. There are very many subdivisions oi* clans, but only two distinct races. These have been named by comparative philologists the Gariepine family and the Bantu family. The Gariepine are yellow, light-compiexioned people, with oblique eyes, strongly resembling Chinese or Mongolians in all matters of personal appearance except the hair, which merely dots the head like bushes in a barren country, and is curly. The old tribe names are well-nigh disused now In public returns In the colony. On the mother’s side these colored people are chiefly Gariepine, but they probably know no language now except Dutch and English. This is certainly true of the young people. Found by the first Europeans in possession of the southwest portion of the continent, they were pastoral people, and loved the banks of rivers for their flocks and herds. lake some of the tribes of north Asia (whom they otherwise resemble physically), these yellow South Africans made their huts with mats, which they spread over slender bent poles. When, as graziers, they wished to move their herds, they folded up their mats, collected and tied up the slender poles of their huts, secured all on the backs of pack oxen, and proceeded to their next grazing grounds, much in the same way as Tartars and Mongolians are doing to-day. Beyond the woolly hair which these two families of Africans have In common, they are in all other respects widely different from one another. In common with Europeans. the yellow’ people ieak varieties of a “suffix'* language, while in common witn the Islanders of the South seas, the Bantu, or dark, people speak dialects of a “prefix” language. The yellow people are akin to north Asia and to Europe, not only as speaking suffix languages, but also in some of their ancient customs. There is, for Instance. the interesting fact that among Asiatics as well as Europeans, and from the earliest times, the “daughter” has been the “milkmaid” of the family, as, indeed, the derivation of our word daughter itself conveys to us. The ancient custom is the same among the Gariepine people in South Africa. I

have seen the girls of those yellow people go forward of an evening to meet the homecoming cows, and, deftly throwing a rein or cord over their horns, lead them quietly to the neighboring tree or pole and proceed to milk them. Now in the same neighborhood, in a village of the Bantu people, no woman might enter the kraal or cattle pen or mingle with the cattle; it was "forbidden” according to their old customs; in short, it was "uncanny.” Again, it is well known to Chinese scholars that there are “tones” in Chinese; that is, that the height or lowness of the tone in which a w r ord is uttered will decide what is the meaning of the word. For Instance, I am informed that in Chinese a certain word, in the first tone, means to fly; in tho second tone to subsist; in the third tone, to swim, and in the fourth tone, to issue. How necessary’ to pitch one's words aright in China! But, strange to say, it is equally necessary in South Africa if one is speaking the old Hottentot or Koranna language. Thus, in the latter language. Dr. Bleek tells us that a certain word, if pronounced in a loud key, means handkerchief; the same w’ord, three notes lower, means the spot, and four notes lower still it stands for the adjective dark. Beyond the lozenge-ehaued eyes of the yellow people, their milkmaids, their suffix languages. It would seem that the “tones” of their old language complete the proof of their former connection with north Asia. One Good Tiling, Washington Poet. There Is one good thing about the Ohio gold fields. The government will not have to Invest in reindeer for the benefit of those who we prospecting out there.
