Ileport of the Kxecntlve Council AD dresses by 31nirsi. Fotilke, Schurz and Others). HOSTON. Dec. 12. After an executive session the twenty-tirst annual meeting of the National Civil-service Iteform League was opened to-day. Dr. D. C CSilman. of llaitimore, presided. The opening session was devoted to the presentation of reports. The annual report of the council, which was first In order, said, in part: "The past year has been one of encouragement for the friends of civil-service reform. It has seen the restoration to the classified service of some'l.GuO persons in the War Department, removed from it by the order of May, lsy., the steady development of the merit system in the Philippine islands and the restoration of entire harmony in the relations of the league with the Civil-service Commission. "The language and official action of President Roosevelt leave no room for doubt as to his hearty sympathy with the friends of good government and pure politics. The recent election in New York will be almost certainly followed by a great advance in the practical application of the principles of the league." Everett P. Wheeler, of New York, delivered an address on "How to Specialize Civil Service Examinations." He' said: "The way to specialize the examination is: First To ascertain accurately and fully the duties of the office to fill which the examination was held. Second As far as possible to make the examination a specific tttit of the particular kind of work that the candidate, if appointed, will have to do. Third Above all things to avoid getting into a rut and thinking that because a particular examination was an excellent thing for particular place five years ago. it is of course the beat that can now be devised for another place. I am convinced from experience that if we firmly but courteously stand for our rights under the law and refuse to put unfit work upon the public, even though the public Is niggardly in providing compensation, we shall in the end justify our cause." A meeting in Sanders Theater, Cambridge, was addressed by President Eliot of Harvard. Carl Schurz, Dr. Daniel C. Ctilman and William Dudley Foulke. President Eliot Haid In part: "Ninety years ago my grandfather, who was a Iloston merchant, headed a public lottery, from the proceeds of which Stoughton Hall was built, and It stands to-day as a hall built by public lottery in Massachusetts. Shall we not find that, fifty years from now, it will be regarded as discreditable ami dishonorable for a man to use the salary of public position to promote his advantage, or even to promote the advantage of a political party?" Carl Schurz said that civil-service reform will not cure all the evils of a political system, yet with every officer rescued from the spoilsman the huckster will have less to deal with, and the field for meritorious candidates will be so much enlarged. Dr. Daniel C. Gilman, president of the leaugue. said: "The victories of the league have been won by long, patient efTorts. As It succeeds in national fields one sees more i that can be done In other fields." In urging the civil-service idea he said that it could well be used by school boards and even by churches seeking pastors. William Dudley Foulke. of Indiana, recently appointed a member of the national Civil -service Commission, said: "Nearly every applicant for office now bases his application in part, at least upon the statement that he is a devoted adherent to the civil-service law. That indicates an advance. It is because we have a leader. There is a man whit has the power to handle civil service in an almost autocratic manner. That man Is the foremost civilservice reformer in America President Koosevclt." TO EXPEND FIFTEEN MILLIONS. Syndicate May Construct n Hnihvn), Smelter, Steek Work ami Shipyard. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12.

A DAILY CHARGE FOR CARS

TUE M IDG LEY CAMPAIGN TO SECT HE ADOPTION OF THE FLAX. A .Number of Extension Planned for the Gould Lines (ieneral and Personal Railway Xeww. J. W. Midgley, formerly chairman of the Western Freight Asociatlon, is authority for the statement that the railroad companies of the United States lost 5200vm.OiO during ld through the unprogressive methods and unbusiness-like practices which prevailed in the interchange and handling of cars, and he is now engaged in a campaign with a view to getting the railroads to adopt the per diem charge for the detention of foreign cars, believing that this is at least a partial remedy Tot the decrease in freight-car utilizaticn which has been going on for years. In a circular sent out by Mr. Midgley the above statement regarding the loss for the curIt nt year is made, together with many other assertions that are severe and critical upon the management of the railroads in this respect. The circular letter as well as the subject the matter deals with is provoking considerable discussion, and it is asserted that ten of the roads centering in Chicago are ready to accept and put In force the per diem charge for the detention of freight cars. Mr. Midgely assumes that freight-car performance should have been at least 25 per cent, better than it was during the year, asserts that this is the .age of Indiscriminate building of freight cars, and charges the railroads with robbing one another by means of false car mileage reports, citing instances where roads defrauded a connecting road out of as high as JSo.OfO in one year. Mr. Midgley bases his estimates on the servile of l,3tö.521 cars, and provided there had btn a 25 per cent, greater activity in car movement, there would have been 273,1j more cars than would have been needed. J. R. Cavinagh, car service superintendent of the Rig Four, recently wrote an article in favor of the per diem method of handling cars, but added that the greatest cause nt Increased car detention is the fact that the facilities provided by the public or shippers at Important terminals have Increased but a very small pr cent, and are practically the same as they were Lcfore the era of big tonnage cars, and these inadequate facilities of necessity means greatly increased detention of cars in loading and unloading. Extensions) of Gonld Linen. George J. Gould, with Mrs. Gould, has just returned to New York from a tour of the railroads embraced in the Gould system a tour divided into two sections and lasting about two months, broken only by a flying visit to New York and covering practically the entire country from Utah to Texas. After a critical and analytical survey, not alone of his own railroads, but of financial and commercial conditions throughout the country. Mr. Gould is in an even more optimistic frame of mind than when he finished his big tour last spring. Mr. Gould was asked If he were willing to state at this time whether he intended to carry out the rumored plan of a transcontinental railroad, with tho Missouri Pacific. Denver & Rio Grande. Rio Grande & Western and Central Pacific as the main links in the chain. "I have heard nothing about that," said Mr. Gould. "Wp are working very harmoniously with our allied railroad connections, Central Pacific being one of them." Then Mr. Gould gave this Inkling of his plans of extending his network of railroads in the South: "We are contemplating a line from Arkansas City south to Lake Providence in Louisiana. In fact, it is under consideration now. The Texas & Pacific line is to be rebuilt and extended so that it will form a through line along the west bank of the Mississippi river between New Orleans and St. Louis. The improvement will Include also the rebuilding of the New Orleans &. Northwestern Railroad. The new line runs through a beautiful cotton country, and at present there is no line to serve it. The country is entirely tributary to the Iron Mountain system, hence the construction of the branches. We expect to get one of the New Y'ork city elevated rpads started with electricity In a very few days. We have Len delayed, as other people have been delayd. by the non-delivery of machinery. Our contracts are about a year behind, but we expect to have some trains running by electricity in the near future." Personal, Local and General Xntes. R. P. Sanderson has been appointed superintendent of motive power of the Seaboard Air-line, vice F. IL" McGee, transferred. The Peoria & Eastern earned In the first week of this month $53.9S4.1. an increase over the corresponding week of last year of $757.10. Within four months the Panhandle between Columbus and Woodstock will bo double-tracked. A strong force Is now pushing the work. The circular of President Loree. of the Baltimore & Ohio, states that after Jan. 1 passes to employes and half-rate tickets will also be abolished. Reports from Salt Lake say that every railroad In Utah is now engaged in a rate war on west-bound freight and that tariffs are being disregarded. The Big Four lines proper earned $3f3.04O..l5 in the first week of November, a decrease as compared with the corresponding week of 1900 oi $20.973.15. The Great Northern's earnings for November were Jl.OG5.5n9 in excess of those of November. 19 The increase since July 1 over the same period last year to December 1 was $4.023.24. The New York Central will nay a dividend of 5 per cent, on its capital stock Jan. 50. and the directors of the New York. New Haven & Hartford will declare a quarterly dividend of 2 per cent. The Wheeling & Lake Erie, now controlled by the Wabash, has planned for a large roundhouse, yards and repair shops to be located at Navarre. O.. and expects to make that an important point. Volney T. Malott. receiver, F. R. Barlow, assistant to the receiver. Harry Miller, general superintendent, and Benjamin McKeen. superintendent of the main line of the Vandalia. are Inspecting the road. The Pittsburp & Iake Erie Is now the greatest freight road, mileage considered, in the country. Its earnings this year will be close upon JT.ftrt.OOO. the largest earnings per mile of any road in the United States. Work on the new roundhouse and repair shops of the Big Four at Columbus. O.. is now being pushed vigorously. The roundhouse will have twelve stalls and will accommodate with these the largest engines built. J. B. Rucker, traveling freight agent of the Louisville & Nashville, was in the city yesterday. He said there is not a Southern line that is not embarrassed in Its business by a shortage of cars, so prosperous are the Industries of the South. John C. Wood, traveling freight agent of the Indiana. Illinois & Iowa, was in the city yesterday. He states that securing the right of way to Detroit is in progress, and there Is but little question that the road will be extended to that point. Commencing Jan. 6 the Moron will have dally through service to Florida and will issue tourist tickets to all Southern points with sixteen days' transit limit, with stopover privileges. All tickets via Ixmisvilie will be good to stop at French Lick. John McClurg. superintendent of motive power of the Peoria & Eastern, was in the city yesterday in conference with J. A. Barnard, general manager. He now na over K men tmnloyed at the shops in Urbana. III. He finds difficulty in getting n achinlets and bollermakers. C. B. Robertson, an engineer on the Lake Erie & Western, on Sunday completed his twenty-eighth year as an engineer on that road between Indianapolis and Michigan City. He has been connected with the road even longer than that. His father. C. (J. Robinson, was general superintendent for many years. John H. Berrlckman was recently offered a position In railroad eervlce which would pay him a larger salary than he receives & a representative of the Louisville & Nashville, but he declined on account of his mother, with whom he has lived during his entire life at Louisville when not on the road. Owing to it heavy coal and other traffic the Norfolk & Western Railway Company dy or.lt.rtid .Vl elirht v-t hoiisand-oound cs-

pacity box cars. yl eighty-thousand-pound capacity coal gondolas and 250 stock cars. As soon as these orders are out of the way 1,000 more eighty-thousand-pound ca

pacity coal cars will be ordered. J Commissioner Donald, of the Central Pas- j senger Association, is being highly com- j plimented by those who are familiar with i the records of its excellent administra- j , tion. and they say he richly merits the : Ugh compliment recently paid him by the j committee appointed to make an examlna- j ticn of the affairs of the association. The resignation of W. G. Purdy as president of the Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific was accepted yesterday by the directors of the company. William R Leeds was thn elected president. Mr. Purdy also resigned as a director and J. H. Moore was elected to succeed him in the board. D. G. Reid was elected a member of the executive committee to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Purdy on that committee. It was announced at New York jesternay that James J. Hill had resigned from the board of cirectors of the Northern Pacific Railway Company. The resignation 'j said to have been contemplated for some time. It was denied that it had been caused by the attacks made upon the Northern Securities Company, which is to operate both the Great Northern, of which Mr. Hill is president, and the Northern x acme. An official of tho Chicago & Northwestern, in explanation of the heavy westbound business, states that the consumptive demand for everything throughout the West is very large, especially in household necessities and luxuries, and the latter are the best indication of permanent prosperity. The entire country to the Pacific coast is a buyer, and as yet there is absolutely no accumulation, so large- has been immigration to the Wost the last two years, and it still continues. Thomas H. Quill, who will on Jan. 1 retire from the position of traveling passenger agent of the Chicago Great Western to accept the position of agent of a life insurance company at Pittsburg, is making his final trip before severing his connection with the railroad company. Mr. Quill was born in Indianapolis July 1. 1S7U, and at one time was connected with the Pennsylvania lines at Indianapolis, going from here to Columbus. O., then accepting a position with the Chicago Great Western. The Huntsville. Ala.. Chamber of Commerce has received information that a company is being organized in New York with a capital of $7.onn."0 to build a railroad from Huntsville, north to Winchester. Tenn., and Jamestown, thence to Bowling Green and Litchfield, Ky. The proposed road will be known as the Cumberland Mountain route. It is likely also that the line will be constructed towards the Southwest as far as Aberdeen. Miss. Work of construction, it is said, wiil begin early next year.

E. Brodbelt, special agent of the Certral Passenger Association of Chicago, speaking of the passenger business of the West, says there has been no occasion since the world's fair that took as many people to Chicago as the cattle show last week. It is estimated that fully 4"o.0 people attended the exposition. President Rauh, of the Union stockyards of Indianapolis, has already commenced negotiations looking to a similar cattle exhibit at Indianapolis in the fall of i:mJ. A number of exhibitors have promised to aid in the matter. The Canadian Pacific Railway has surveyed a route across Maine, to form a connecting line between parts of its system and provide a througli line for its traffic from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The road now crosses Maine from Mattawampkeag to Vanceborough. under a lease arrangement, on the Maine Central tracks. By bulldnig a line from Mattawampkeag to Princeton, the Canadian Pacific Railroad can be independent and can make connections which will give it through traffic by a shorter and easier route. It is understood that work will be begun in the spring. The Ime will cross a hitherto undeveloped part of Maine. The Wabash Railway interests are believed to be behind the Zanesville. Marietta & Parkersburg Railroad Company incorporated at Columbus, ).. yesterday by R. C. Burton and O. N. Townsend. of Zanesville. O.: J. T. Blair, of Greenville. Pa.: E. D. Fulton. Uniontown.

TRADE IS FALLING OFF

HIGH PRICES AHE DETERRENT TO gkxkhak msixKss. As a Result. Quotations Are Weakening I" Several Lines-More Liberal Arrivals of Grain. There Is no disguising the fact that trade the last few days hatf fallen off consider ably in volume in several lines, and with this, easier prices are developing. In vegetables of all kinds, Irish potatoes included, a weak tone prevails, and while not quotably lower on a number of articles they are not moving with any briskness. Buyers are not purchasing any more potatoes than are needed to meet daily requirements and consumer? arc curtailing "consumption by substituting other articles. Fruits, however, are in strong position, especially apples, sales being made at full quotations. There are still a few catawbi grapes on the market. Cranberries are active, with prices steady. They are used more extensively because other fruits -are much higher than usual. Flour moved up another 10 cents a barrel and is very firm at quotations. It has but little effect on the buying, as dealers had been expectlrg such advance and flour is still the cheapest article in the food line offered. Cereals of all kinds are higner. The wholesale grocers are having a good trade, with prices steady and unchanged. Navy and Lima beans, canned goods and dried fruits are firm. Canned tomatoes move slowly, while corn, peas and other lines are active. There is an unusual demand for dried peach?s. prunes and evaporated fruits, the trade increasing with each day, and with this, while prices are not advanced, they are very firm. There Is an active demand for Florida oranges. Florida mandarins and tangerines are now on the market.. Sales of nuts are large as the holiday season approaches. The produce mirkets are active and prices firm, except on eggs. People are using fewer eggs and the mild wvather has Increased receipts. Choice butter continues to move rapidly. Poultry and game are in good supply and prices are steady on poultry. Receipts, however, for the time being, are in excess of the demand. Provisions are active at the revised epjotations of Monday. Hams and smoked meats are in large demand, owing to the high prices which prevail for fresh meats. Other lines are without new features. Indianapolis Grain Market. The local grain market was hardly as active as on previous days of the week. Receipts are better than last month, but still fall short of supplying local dealers.
