Little by little the truth about the inharmonlous
relations existing between the East and west trunk
line railroads is coming to the surface. Notwith
standing all previous official denials of the well
authenticated reports that the schedule rates were
not maintained it is admitted that they have
not BEEN and II in reported that tho trunk line
officers say that if necessary they will refuse to
pro.rate on through rates with the Western roads
in order to remedy the existing trouble" To
comprehend fully the meaning of the quotation IL Is
necessary 10 understand that the term western
roads" means roads west of Pittsburg and Buffalo,
ard that the Western connections OF the
Baltimore and Ohio, the Pennsylvania
and the Central and Hudson companies are prac-
tically under the same management az the lines
east of Pittsburg and Buffalo 1t is the same old
story that it has been with all preceding disagree
mcnts: First denias of any cutting; next, that 1t
is unimportant and will be romedled; and finally
before the rupture becomes open, the Eastern trunk
lines always have put their foot down, declaringthey
would not "pro.rate." More than two months ago
TIE TRIBUNE directed attention to the very large
proportion Of the business out OF
Chicago which the Grand Trunk and the
Baltimore and Ohio roads were obtaining. and
to the small proportion, compared with
previous seasons, which the Vanderbilt lines were
obtaining and suggested that freight. no more than
passengers went 100 or 200 miles further than the
direct route unless paid for it. The more equal DIS
trbution of business shown by the last two weeks
returns than had been shown by the returns OF
merchants from Chicago for many preceding weeks
indicated that some equalizIng method had been
employed. The reports from Chicago during the
last two days clearly indicate that the method
used was a meeting of the cut rates by the lines
which had before, at least approximately, held to
the schedule.
To-day's stock market presents little Tor
comment. The business, which amounted to
293.3 800 shares was made up principally
by the trading of some spectators. Prices gener-
ally opened weak and lower, but there followed

LITTLE PROGRESS MADE IN THE sENATE-THE STATE
OF THE TARIFF MEASURE IN CONSIDERABLE
DOUBT
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEi
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Some influence Is mys-
teriously delaying action upon the Tariff bill In
the Senate Under show of diligence little pro-
gress is made and hour after hour passes IN profit
less discussions speeches to which few OF no
Senators listen There is doubt that large
majority of the Republicans and small majority OF
the Democrats together making majority OF the
Senate earnestly desire to pass the pending bill.
Nor is there any doubt that many of those who are
indifferent secretly opposed to 1t viii vote for IL
if the final stage is ever reached The SITUATION Is
such end of the session Is SO near ana
SO much general business remains to be doue-hat It
will now only be necessary to extend the debate
every few days to accomplish the purpose OF the
enemies of the bill, without placing the RESPONSE
bility conspicuously upon anybodys shoulders.l wo
appropriation bills already lie upon the clerks table
ready for consideration in the Senate. and
two more will be reported from the Appropriations
Committee Tomorrow Ii is is understood to be
the opinion of a majority of the Appropriations
Committee that their duty TO the public will require
them to call these bills up early next week whether
the Tariff bill is disposed of or not.
Senator Sherman to-day said i'll debate that he
proposed offer substitute for the whole metal
schedule, and upon his request that schedule,
which had been taken up to-day, was laid over
Every argument which it Is possible TO invent upon
either side of the question has been heard over
and over again. and there is good reason why the
debate upon it should be prolonged. But inasmuch
as the proposition to the duty upon the single
item of iron ore gave rise 20 debate of three or
four hours to-day, it is more than likely that day
at least will be devoted to the metal schedule, and
it is among the possibilities that it will consume
the remainder of the week. There is also a report
that an attempt will be made to restore the woollen
rate to that which it pays at present
and this, too. is likely TO be a
fruitful subject of contention, the issue of which is
doubtful ~
An hour and half was consumed this evening by
the Democrats in wrangling and determinations be-
tween the free-traders and the proectiODlsts over
their general policy during which Senator voorhees,
and Senator Vance cOllided" with some Violence
much to the amusement of the Republicans. The
fact was made very plain that the Democrats have
no tariff policy upon which they can unite. Ihey
are upon record upon all sides of every ques-
ton, and their quarres with each other
already have very encouraging appearance
for the Republicans. Senator Morrell to-day ex-
messed the hope that the Senate would remain in
session tomorrow until it disposed of the BILL In
the conflict of hopes, opinions and Intentions the
fate of the hill in the Senate is stu involved III con-
siderabl,dOubt.

WAsHINGToN Feb. 15.-The House Committee OF
The Whole spent about six hours to-day III discuss
ing the sugar tariff and did not reach conclusion
respecting the first paragraph Of the schedule The
discussion was very animated and cove~Nd nearly
every point of controversy involved in the entlre
schedule the opposition to the polariscope and the
fight between the sugar refners importers and pro-
dneers. as well as the question of rates The COM
p,ttee has recommended duty of 1.25 cents per
pound on all sugars not above No. 13 Dutch stand
ard testing by the polarscope not above 70 degrees
and a. 100 of cent additional for every additional
degree or fraction of degree.
As soon as the first paragraph had been READ the
advocates of free sugar lifted up their voices ana
considering the small number OF votes they couio
muster. they made a good deal of noise, and drew
down upon their devoted heads the unsparing de-
nunciation of Chairman Kelley ana inc eioquon'
wrath Of Mr. Ellis, of LOUISIANA WHO
has given unvaryng votes to reduce du'ies
during the last fortnight. The free sugar
amendment was reiected-26 to 1872. Among those
who spoke in favor of it was ID. Z. smith, OF

rns perils of Boy Babies,

II isa perp'exing fact that while more
boys arc born than girls, there is a sur
plus Of female population. OF the child
ron born in this city during last year.
l4.0jS were males and 1928 females,
and yet 10 is impossible for SSl en7 mem.
bcrs Of the gentler sex IN this country TO
find husbands without inyeigling an
equal number of males TO commit biga-
my. II has commonly been supposed
that war and the hardsbips and the
hazards peculiar to their manner Of life
are the causes OF the excess of mortal
ity among males, but writer in an
English medical journal presents statis-
tics to show that four per cent. more
boys than girls die before reaching the
age OF five years, and intinates that an
explanation is to be found in the differ.
ence In nursing the two sexes receive.
He does not say whether boy babies are
hugged too much or pinched to death by
their fair attendants, but reform In
the method OF their treatment appears 10
be imperative. The writer to whom refer.
ence is here made is ungallant enough
to suggest that the excess OF NOR
tality among male infants may be due in
part to higher organism than that of
girls, but Of course the explanation Is
unworthy Of consideration. Our fair
friends will perceive the gravity Of this
subject, for the preservation OF boy ba-
bies is essential to the supply Of the de-
mand for husbands. There are nearly q
million less males than females in the
United States already, and the stagna-
ton Of the matrimonial market begins to
excite alarm.
