Zlembers of the National Raslness Lesine Working Up a Convention Other Railway Nerrs. A movement to remedy defects In the interstate-commerce law has been got under way at Chicago oy the National Business League. Invitations will soon be sent' to railway officials, shippers, merchants and members of Congress to attend a meeting and express their opinions as to what legislation Is needed to bring railway rates and the division of traffic out of the more or less chaotic state into which they were thrown by the decision of the United States Supreme Court two years ago. The question of legalizing pools end giving the Interstate-commerce Commission authority to enforce Its decisions, with the privilege of appealing to other courts for reversal or affirmation, has been a point of division between various railroads since the pools were chattered and it Is proposed to bring about a decision of the subjects. C. S. Tomllnson. secretary of the National Association of Merchants and Travelers, declares that the fupport of that organization will tic given the movement. Among the railway men who are to be invited are: Receiver S. M. Felton, of the Cincinnati. New Orleans & Texas Pacific road; E. B. Rcbblns, of the St. Louis & San Francisco; General Manager T. I Day. of the Minneapolis & St. Paul; Edward T. Jeffrey, president of the Denver & Rio Grande; W. M. Truesdale. president of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western; Jresldent Horace G. Burt, of the Union Pacific, and President Edward S. Washburn, of the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis. The men named are members of the advisory committee of the National Business League. Shipments of Machinery. If the railroads were getting a fair rate for the movement of freight there would be a fair account of dividends at the end of the year. The Pittsburg Post gives the following statement regarding business at that city: "At present there are 3S0 carloads of machinery consigned to Pittsburg firms waiting to be unloaded in the district. The cargo is worth millions of dollars and such an enormous amount of freight of this kind was never before concentrated at any one city In the world. Between West Homestead and Oliver thre are 130 loaded cars, and at various other points the remaining cars necessary to make up the above figures are stored. The freight consists of machine tools, hydraulic and electric hoisting and traveling cranes, rolls, shears, punches and a hundred different varieties of machine tools for factories. A rough estimate places the value of the entire supply at I2.&M.O0O. Tills represents only machinery and castings from other points which have been shipped here, and it does not include the hundreds of cars of brick, lumber, structural steel and other building materials consigned to builders of new plants or owners of old establishments. "All the P.. V. & G, the Union Railroad' end the P. & L. E. sidetracks between Eighteenth street, on the South Side, and Oliver were crowded with loaded cars yesterday. Along the West Penn, the B. & O., the P. it. W. and all the connecting lines there was a Jam of freight. The new, works of the Carnegie company at Munhall and West Homestead have increased the local freight shipments' tremendously." Local, Personal and General Xoten. A large amount of work Is being done on the roadbed of the Clover Leaf, including fills to supersede trestles. The Monon has made a number of Improvements at Cedar lake which are much appreciated by pleasure seekers. The St. Paul's earnings for the second week of July show an increase of $J31,52S, and for the month thus far $125,345. Four huge gun carriages for coast-defense works on the Atlantic coast passed through Ilttsburg on the Panhandle on Tuesday. The Pittsburg papers estimate the loss to local steam and traction companies by reason of excessive rains this season at $125,0cn). The receivers of the Wisconsin Central nave transferred all the property In their way Company. On the 1st prog." J. M. Norton, traveling freight agent of the Chicago. Rok Island 6 Pacific, with headquarters at St. Louis,

will come to this city as commercial agent of that road, having charge of Indiana and Louisville business. The Canadian Pacific's earnings for the second wffk of July were. 1567,000, an Increase of S1,0X) over the earnings for the corresponding period of 1S0S. John 8. Lazarus, general freight and passenger agent of the Indiana. Decatur & Western, went East last evening on a trip combining business and pleasure. Freight business Is so heavy on the eastern end of the Panhandle road that a number of old-style Class I engines hae been pressed into service on through runs. It Is expected a successor to William Qulnn. superintendent of the Cincinnati & Sandusky division of the Big Four, with headquarters at Springfield, O., will be apTMJinted Aug. 1.

It is claimed the Erie Is the only road that has carried out the agreement of the presidents to withdraw reduced tourists rates to Boston, pending: the arbitration of disputes relative to passenger business. Harry Rrown. of Zanesvllle. O.. who was a member of the Tenth Ohio, had an order for transportation refused by the Cincinnati & Muskingum Valley Railroad last October and was ejected from the train. He now sues the company for $5,000 damages. The earnings of the St. Louis & Southwestern for the first half of the month show an increase of 336.015. This is a very favorable showing, as the earnings for the corresponding period last year were the largest in the previous history or the road. The Missouri secretary of state yesterday chartered the County Belt Railway, of St. Louis, with a capital of ll.ww.uw. the incor porators being prominent St. Louifans. The road will be thirty miles long and will- en circle the city, connecting all incoming lines. I. W. Berry, train dispatcher at Beardstown, has been promoted to be superintendent of the St. Louis division of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, with headquarters at Beardstown, vice W. CJ. Hosier, who resigned to accept the position of superintendent of the Reading division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, with headquarters at Philadelphia. A. G. Shearman, general agent of the union l'aclnc at Cincinnati: It. H. Hijrgins, assistant general passenger agent of the banta Fe at Pueblo: G. D. Bacon, general agent of the Chicago. Rock Island & Paetne at Cincinnati, and J. Stanley Orr, traveling passenger agent of the Southern Pa cific, are in the city making common cause in the effort to secure the next meeting of tne ipworth League lor California. Traffic Manager Robertson, of the Pressed Steel Car Cmpany. of Pittsburg, turned a neat trick recently. There was a shipment to be made of SO0 steel cars to the Oregon Short-line. The company would have to pay 4 cents a mile for the hauling of the empty cars. Mr. Robertson had them load ed with coke for the Illinois Steel Company, at Chicago. Thus the cars each earned for the Short-line $13.72, a total of about $5,000. The Interstate-commerce Commission will hold a meeting at Chicago on Aug. 7 to confer on tne export problem In freight tratnc tariffs. Recent press reports an nounce a great improvement In the export tarirr effective Aug. 1. but the tariff schedules have not yet been tiled with the com mission. The presidents of the trunk lines comprising the Western territory will hold a session at Chicago on Aug. 8 to consider the general situation. VITAL STATISTICSJULY 19. Births.

Elated at his successes (In gathering an Insurgent army), Aguinaldo had proclaimed himself president of the Filipino republic, and established executive and legislative departments, his evident intention being to secure complete and independent control of the islands. Through the efforts-of one or my staff officers I was able to gain some knowledge of the personal attributes of Aeulnaldo and his so-called cablnot. Aguin aldo was described to me as thoroughly honest and sincere; not well educated, but a natural leader of men, and possessing con siderable shrewdness and ability. He waa very popular among the common people, who had Implicit confidence in him; but the opinion among the better classes was that he had not sufficient education or experience to make a suitable president. He was at one time governor of a small town in one of the provinces, and it is said that he was formerly a school teacher. The position of secretary of state was at this time being held open for a prominent native citizen. Arellano, reputed to be the foremost lawyer of the islands. He was not at Manila at this time; although he had been repeatedly sent for, he could not get through the Spanish lines. He was reported to be an avowed annexationist, who had little faith in the ability of the Filipino people to govern themselves. Next to Aguinaldo in point of popularity was one Marlona Trias, secretary of the treasury. He had been vice president of a former revolution. A former school master. a cousin of Aguinaldo. and a man of little or no ability, was secretary of war: and the secretaries of the navy and of the in terior were reported to me as honest. cana ble men. Aguinaldo had gathered about him as personal advisers and councillors quite a numoer or emcient men. principally lawyers. more or lem qualified, naturally or by edu cation to nu tne positions assigned to them. My Informant designated one of the cabinet officers as a "swelled dunce," and one of Aguinaldo s foremost generals as a "vicious, uneducated ignoramus and highway robber:" from which it will be seen that the person nel of Agulnaldo's cabinet was not such as to give us much confldence in it. A Novel Sight. Norfolk .Virginian. Karly yesterday morning about two miles from Selma, N. C. one of the Southern trains ran over the right arm of Frank iTice, a white man. completely severine it frcm his body. He was drunk and down with his arm across the track. He was found half an hour later and taken to beima by an engine. He walked around a while before Dr. Noble could be called to dress his wounds. Then he went to the depot and sat down. He had not been there long when a negro man came aionpr wun the lost arm. which he had found on the track. The sight of the lost member infuriated Price and he "cussed out" the negro and started for the doctor's office, the negro following him with the arm. On the wav Price stopped and "cussed out" the bar keeper who, he said, sold him the whiskj. "It was a novel sight," said the man who brought the report of the accident to this city, "to ?ee the man walking about the street and a negro coming alonjr, behind him with his lost arm.

WAITING FOR ADVANCE

IX TIIC MEANTIME DEARS ARE IIAMaiEi:i"G STOCK MARKET. Early Gulns In Wall Street AVer Wipe I Out Later on Continued Pressure Local Trade. At New York, yesterday, money on call was steady at 21i'54 per cent.; last loan, 3 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, WiTUX per cent. Sterling exchange was steady, with actual business in bankers' bills at $4.874.87 for demand and I4.S4-&4.84U for sixty days; posted rates. $4.8S'34-SS and H.SS318S&; commer cial bills, 4.82$4.&3ii. Silver certificates. 6061c; bar silver, GOUc; Mexican dollars, 48c. At London bar silver closed steady at 27d an ounce. The Intense dullness of the New York stock market yesterday continued to be the main feature of the trading as for some time past. Not only was it true of the New York market, but of the continental and London markets as well, and speculation at different exchanges In the United States was reported in the same dull and neglected condition. The whole speculative world maintained Its waiting attitude. Many fac tors which have been adduced to account for the hesitation have been successively eliminated, but the hesitation still persists. The bears took some heart of grace from this continued disinclination to advance and made quite a vigorous attack on the New York market late in the day. Earlier gains In come of the specialties were wiped out. notably' in the Tobacco stocks, in Sugar and In Steel, and the whole market dropped to the low level of the day. Missouri Pa cific and Wabash preferred led the decline. the latter with a net loss of l1,. The grang ers all weakened sharply and Atchison pre ferred was notably heavy in tone. Brook lyn Transit lost the greater part of Tues day s gain and Manhattan dropped a point below Tuesday night. Metropolitan Streetrailway, on the contrary, resisted the de clining tendency, and closed unchanged. Federal Steel common fell away heavily z fointa in the late trading, although the pub ic announcement that the judicial injunc tion against the distribution of the dividend declared on the stock had been continued. was not made until after the market's close. New York Air Brake made a meteoric dis the validity of one of its patents. The stock opened up 17 points and then fell 3) points and closed with a net decline of 1 point. The close was at 200 bid and 230 asked. The market enjoyed a period of some strength early In the day, but the transactions were en such a small scale as to lend little sig nincance to tne movement of prices. Money continued to work rather lower. out is still above the rates at other domes tic centers. Fears of the gold movement seem to exercise a reflex influence between London and New York. New York is In rear that the money stringency in London and on the continent will draw gold from there as the rates work lower. London Is In fear that the coming export movement of mercnancuse rrom the United States will emphasize the strineencv abroad and so nrnlong the stagnation of speculation.

I don't want to make a reckless assertion, but I doubt, honestly, whether there was one mn in all Boston who had his thumb blown off last Christmas or. was hit in the eye with a rocket stick. Yet Boston is a good. God-fearing community. You see, my friend, customs differ. Here we celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace by raising as big a row as we possibly can, and on the Fourth of July we knock off, go picnicking and ruminate quietly on the greatness and glory of the Nation.

GRAIN VALUES SHRINK

WHEAT FL'TmES LOSE ANOTHER, CENT AND BULLS DISCOURAGED. Corn and Oats Touch the Lowest Point In Month, labile Provisions Score Another Advance, CHICAGO. July 13. Values continued to shrink on the Board of Trade yesterday. Wheat closed at the bottom of a lc decline, corn lost c, oats i while provisions closed unchanged to TVic lower, the latter in pork. Wheat traders were In an optimistic mood In regard to the new crop at the opening of the market. September opened at a decline of US?sC. with initial trades at 71Uc A few fives changed hands at 71io immediately after the opening. This was the highest quotation to-day. Perfect weather everywhere In the wheat belt, primary receipts unprecedented at this time of the year, lower cables from both England and the continent and the entire absence of demand for cash wheat were a few of the items in the early batch of news which brought long wheat -into the market In great quantities. Puts at 70'ic steadied the market for a time, but as soon as buying against these privileges was over the decline began afresh and continued until the closing gong sounded. Primary receipts amounted to an even million bushels, against 343,000 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth received 476 cars, against 60 last year. Atlantic port clearances, wheat and flour, amounted to 440,000 bushels. Local receipts were 1X cars, against 87 a year ago. September touched TOHIOc about noon. At this figure all the shorts put out In the past few weeks showed a fine profit and there was considerable coveringenough to rally September to 71c, but the shorts appeared to be the only buyers and the market fell of Its own weight to 70Uc and closed at 70c, a net loss of TiQlc. Fine weather for growing corn and liberal receipts were again too much for corn bulls and with a weak wheat market the combination in favor of short sellers could not have been better. Primary receipts were 87S.O00 bushels, compared with 414,000 bushels a year ago. With this news as a starter September opened Vic lower at 22H'&32Hc Many belated longs threw their holdings on the market and a steady decline ensued to the close, which was at 32c a net loss of ic. Local receipts were 5u6 cars, against Zfi a year ago. Export and domestic cash demand was reported much Improved. Oats followed the other markets without special news affecting; the conditions. The market held remarkably steady through a greater part of the session. Just before the close one or tne local bull leaders became a heavy seller, and his offerings were not absorbed without a corresponding decline. Local receipts were 170 cars. September opened a shade lower at ric, sold at 201,4S2uc. declined to 19ic and closed at 19&nl4c. a net loss of c. Provisions opened strong In sympathy with an advance of I0lfl5c for hogs, iront taking soon wiped out these early gains and the market ruled rather heavy until the close. There was no particular news to bring about a decline other than the weakness In grain. September pork opened 610c higher at $9.S59.40, declined to $9.17 and closed at J9.22M, a net loss of 7Hc. September lard opened 5c higher at 35.62-i, declined td Jo.&o and closed at ...

That buildings of extreme height are not entirely modern in their conception has lately been proven by Prof. Lrciant. tho Roman archaeologist, who has discovered some ancient bulldlnsr laws of that city, which restricted the height of buildings for reasons similar to thoe urged to-day. Allusions are frequently made to the great height of the tenement house 'by Roman writers, but no definite figures are given until the time of Augustus, when the height of such structure was limited to sixty feet on the street front. In the rear, however, the buildings were often several etorles higher, and the law of Augustus applied only to new structures. It is stated that these Roman buildings had generally ten or twelve Horles In the front and fourteen or fifteen in tho rear, the lower stories being about eight or ten feet in height, while at greater distances from the ground the height was much less, sometimes not even five feet. It la quit certain that the Roman tenement houses at times were at least 10 feet in height on the street, and 120 to 13) feet In the rear, and the changes demanded In the law were on account of the various dangers caused by such) buildings. If the height of the stories was no greater than that of an apartment of a poor family found in a house in Pompeii, about four feet three inches", it seems likely that a Roman tenement houe. in point of numWr of storks at least, rivaled a modem o trice building. Isn't It tbe Unscrupulous Pabllsherf Springfield Republican. The report that tho edition of "Joe Choate'a Jest Book," compiled from Mr. Choate'a witty sayings by an enterprising hack writer of defective tarte, has been suppressed by the London publishers in deference to the ambassador protest, seems to have been but half the truth. It appear that Mr. Choate dimply bought in the whole edition. This points out an easy way to the indigent auu unscrupulous, author ta xaalct a llvlcr.
