RAILROADS.
Freight Shipments to the East by
Rail Falling Off.
The Grand Trunk Objects to Certain
Treatment It Has Received.

EAST-BOUND FREIGHT MOVEMENT.
The railroads leading east from this city
feel quite crestfallen on account OF the I'LL
mel1se decline III east-bound freight ship
ments during the past week. The heavy IN
crease in shipments during the few weeks
previous had inspired them with the hope
that they would continue to do rushing
business for the rest OF the season, and in
stead of a decline they expected astlIi further
increase But the vesselmen were not fool
ish enough to persist iu the policy Of keep
ing up high and proscriptive rates simply to
please the railroads aud force business to
them. Instead of charging from seven to
eight cents per bushel On corn to Buffalo,
rs they did a week or two ago. they
have now come down to about five cents
per buslleI, and this action has caused the
heavy decline in shipments this week. And,
as the yessel-men are not likely to make the
same mistake asail1, they will no doubt keep
I'D reasonable rates for the rest of the season,
and consequently will get the business
The shipments by rail for the week ending
July amounted to only 29, !S9 tons, against
S,7t2 tons the week preyions,-a decline OF
1888 tons. As during the last part OF the
mouth shipments are usually heavier than
during the first part, it is very likely that the
present week will show still heavier de-
cline.

Special Dnpotch to 9ns Chicago Tribune.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July s.-Tle Govern
ment has finally decided to do something i'll
the matter Of the outrages committed by the
Spanish cruiser Nunclo in firing upon the
American vessels. the Sarah Merritt and the
Eunice Newcomb, the former OF Phliadel-
plla and the latter Of Boston. The inforna-
ton which the State Department has this far
received is quite unsatisfactory. The fact
that the Boston vessel has started on her re-
turn trip to the West Indies without giving
adequate information as to the attack upon
her, leaves the Government greatly in doubt.
The aflltlavits which the Collector Of the Port
of Boston has recently sent, made by some
of the members of the late crew, do not salts
factoriy explain the tact Ihe samG IS h;r 1lne
the Merritt, and the subject is complicated
still further from the fact that the Spanish
Minister here, speaking on behalf OF tha
Spanish Government. has officially dealed TO
the Spanish service which in any way CORE
suonds to the description Ut the Nnncio,
given both by the officers of the Merritt
and Of the Newcomb. It evidently is the
purpose Of the Splsn Go7epnmGtT 6eievo 70
that The supposed Spanish vessel is
pravateer sailing under Spanish co1ors. Our
Government has finally decided to know all
the facs in the ssma a1tcd reen an TINS f nte
