PULLMAN'S CHEAP POLICY

Sleeping-Car Companies.

Sleeping Car Companies Berated for Their
NigsardIy Policy.
Indianapolis as a railroad center, is disgraced
by the misman agement of sleepin gear interests
at this point Four sleeping-car companies are
represented here, namely: the Pullman, Wagner,
Woodruff and Baltimore & Ohio companies, and
thirty coaches and some twenty parlor and
ohair-cars arrive and depart here daily, and the

who, one during the day and the ether at night,

Union Depot, and so frequently are these boys
changed that any Information they give is unre-
liable. The Pullman Car Company at much less
important points has men competent to repre-
sent their interests day and night, and agents

THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION.

The Grandest Display of Railway Appli-
Rnces Ever Exhibited.
CHICAGO. May 23.-The National Railway Ex-
position opens in this city tomorrow night, and
in character and number Of exhibits certainly
promises to be the most stupepdous affair of the
kind ever undertaken. In addition TO the expOsi-
ton building proper, which covers three entire
blOcks, a temporary structure extending four
blocks to the south has been erected on the lake
front part, giving the total exhibit space of
$500 by 400 feet In the main exposition build
Tag arc the lighter exhibits, eomprising all the
composite parts which enter into the constRuc-
alien OF 3 railroad or its equipment, which are
portable. In the yard are locomotives,
freight and passenger coaches, water
tanks as complete in details as those
which can be found on the road, and other
thHgs which belong to the heavier part OF the
exhibition. Ia the gallery of the main building z,
running entirely around IL is track for the
electric railway. During the exhibition two cars,
capable Of seating forty people, win be run
upon It, Other features are miniature sleeping
and dining cars. complete in all their details;
tho largest, smallest and oldest locomotives in
the werld, aud the mammoth snOw-plOw used in
ths Rocky mountains. The exhibits in the main
building are mostly in booths, which have gen
orally been brightly decorated, and ingenuity
has been displayed in the arrangement of their
contents The building is to be Illuminated
with electric lights throughout, and when
peopled with sight-seers the scene
promises to be brilliant. Among the exhibits
which have already arrived Is the boiler of the
ssirowbridge LION" the first locomotive ever
ran in America The arabian No. L." which
went into service on the Bal5imOre& Ohio rail-
read in 1884, is also on display. Beside It Is al
old coach, of Tioga, and neither of these bear
any resemblance TO those used at the present
day. One of Stephensons locomotives, repre-
senting in its way the infancy of railroadir z.
built IN 1928, Will have place in the main
bnilding. As illustrating the magnitude of the
affair the managers assert that single exhb itors
of locomotives will display a larger assert
ment Of work than ever displayed In
all previous exDositions combined, which have
been held in London, New York, Paris, Vienna,
Philadelphia They also anticipate great
thrOngs, as, aside from the general public, the
number OF railway employees alone promises to
30 very great and an instance of this is cited in
the case of the Pittsburg q Fort Wayne Gem
pany, which has arranged to send Its 5000 en-
plovss at the expense of the corporation. A
oitlzens' committee has taken up quarters in the
exposition building to arrange for the acc0mmO-
dalton OF those in atten6ehee and to guard
against any adverse criticism affecting the
hospitality of the city.

DRY-GoODs RATES,
The Trade Seeking a Rehabilitation on Ger
tain Grades.

The Trade Seeking a Rehabilitation on Ger
tain Grades.
NEW YORK. May 23.-Representatives of the
dry-goods trade in this and other cities in the
East and West appeared to-day before the rail-
road commission sitting here to support the
claims made in their petition to the commission
n which 1t is stated that the existing classified
tiOn of domestic dry goods in western bound
traffic of the trunk lines Is UNJUST injurious TO
business, and should be changed. In support of
these charges it was urged that the class OF dry
goods against which the present olassif cation
bears the most heavily are mainly cotton goods
of the coarser and cheaper grades, and IL Is espe
otally for that class of merchandise that a re-
classification was asked.
Pool Commissioner Albert Fink replied that 1t
was necessary to charge higher rates on certain
articles In order that grain and other food
products can be carried at rate enabling
farmers to ship to the East and TO Europe This
discrimination is for the benefit OF trade i'm gem
eral, and the dry goods trade shares IN the bene
fits. Individual consumers OF domestic dry
goods would benefit so little by a reduction OF
frei ght rates on that class of goods that the
difference In cost would not be inappreciabl
while the reduction would benefit the trade
ny causing an increased demand for tho goods
After further discussion of the subject, the
commission adjourned to June 49,
