Comparative Cost of Transportation.

table giving the business of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad from 1865 to Jan. l, 1884, shows
that in the years 1883 and 1884 the average
charge for carrying freight over the Pennsylva-
mia has been brought down to less than cent
per MILE while the reduction in cost Of carriage,
as compared with the rate charged in 1865, was
over $50, 900. The greatest stickler for cheap
transportation, or the most ardent advocate Of
anti determination, il he had been allowed in
1865 to mark down the price of transportation to
suit his fancy, would not have ventured to re-
duce it 81, 900 per year. But the railroad
company, impelled by no other consideration
than the natural laws which govern all trade and
traffic, has reduced the comparative cost of trans
portaton on its main line, for the lasG seventeen
years, at an average rate of over 81, 000 600 per
wear

Vanderbilt Disguised with Railroad Pools.
William a. Vanderbilt is reported to be dis
gusted with pools as well as President Roberts.
Mr. Vanderbilt is quoted saying that railroad
pooling had proved failure He is credited
with declaring that it has been for the New
York Central the worst policy that could have
been adopted. When business is good, good
Gates can be had without pooling; when business
IS poor, no pooling arrangement has sufficed to
avert poor ones 1t has, however, enabled poor
roads to live largely at the expense of the better
ones; while 1t has held out an additional tempta-
ton to build unnecessary roads. If such road
could be built to pooling center, it Immediately
was in position to demand the allowance of a
certain per centage of the pooled business under
threat of demoralizing rates.

whom we left In charge of the office during
our attendance at the meeting of the Press
Association, and who during that time I'M

valuables to the tune altogether of $3.50,
and then after letting a number Of trades
men In for various amounts, skipped by the

NAVAL CONFEDERATION.
How Historic Huiks went Settling Down.

PORT WASHINGTON, l.. l., Aug. 2l.-A
fire, causing a loss Of over 500, 900, broke
out on BOARD the steamer Colorado" lying
of Plum Beach, near here, this evening.
The flames spread from the "Colorado" to
the following ships, all of which were
burned to the waters edge aud sank: "Min.
nesota," Susquehanna, "Congress,
"South Carolina" "Iowa." and Lolita
Grant"-all, with the exception of the last
two, formerly belonging to the U. S. Navy.
They had been condemned aud were bought
from the Government by Stannard & CO.,
who were to break them up for the old iron
aud planks they could get out of them. The
fire broke out on the forward deck of The
"Colorado," where the men were NJ work
burning up the plsnks to get the iron spikes.
On the right Of the Colorado" was the
"Susquehanna," TO which the Games spread
rapidly, aud before either 1t or the Colo.
rado" could be towed out, the flames spread
to the other boats. All burned like finder,
and the sky was red for miles around. The
heat was so intense that 1t was impossl BILE 10
get anywhere near the burning ships, while
the cracking Of the flames sound ed like the
sharp crack OF musketry. The flames swept
along the decks and bulwsrk of the ships
ana eat their way up the shrouds into the
rigging. The picture now presented of eight
burning vessels outlined against q bar k Of
inky clouds was one long to be remembered.
The fire burned so 6ercely that within three
hours nothing was left Of the once defenders
OF the United States but few charred planxs
and floating timbers. The bulls sank at
once to the bottom, going down with q bliss
and gurgis, amid cloud of steam from the
water IS IL swept over the burning wrecks.
The Colorado" was the first to sink, and
almost as the water closed over her, the
mast from the "Minnesosa" toppled over on
Tue Congress-" and together they sought
the sandy bottom Of the Sound. The "Sus-
quehanna" burst loose from her moorngs,
ana at one time the various fishing crafts
anchored along the shore appeared to be in
danger. She foated about fifty yards from
the shore, and after trembling for moment
keeied over and sank. The "South Caro-
lima" and "lowa" followed her to the bot
tom in short order, bat before going down
the fxmes spread from the "Iowa' TO the
"Lotta Grant" and "Fair Play" two schoon.
ers lying near the shore, and they too sank.
Who the owners Of the two schooners are
could not be ascertained, Is the crews be-
came 80 mixed up In the crowd Of specta-
tors that they could not be found. Mr..
ntannard, In conversation with reporter.
SAID "rhe loss to me is not less than $780,. E
wv as u was only for the iron In them that
bought them. Had the boats been service.
aoie' the ioss would have been footed up
INTO the millio1s." The loss on the schoon-
ers, II Is said, will not be less than s25, 600.

purpose Of making up "Pieneer's Record"

Mrs. Grant was an honest, devoted, loving

PARNELL,S POLICY.
He Thinks Ireland is on the Brink of Victory.

He Thinks ireland Is on the Brink OF Victory.
DUBLIN, Sept. AT the banquet given
by the Lord Mayor at the Mansion House
this evening, in honor of Parnell and his
Irish colleagues in the House of Commons,
800 guests were present, exclusive Of the
members Of Parliament. In 9 speech Par.
nell said, that If home rule was refused the
Irish, they would make II impossible. for the
English TO legslate. England could either
grant the Irish their rights to rule them
selves or make the country crown colony.
The latter would be practically tantamount
to the former. He denounced the outrages,
saying that the continuation of them would
be q terrible blow TO the Irish cause. The
land question was the great que stion in Ire
land.
Parnell was enthusiastically cheered
throughout the speech. He reminded bis
hearers that the statement that home rule
In Ireland was impossible, emanated from
the same man who said once that local gov
eminent was impossible. Referring to the
moonlghting outrages in Kerry, he thought
the perpetrators had some excuse in their
desperation and poverty. He prayed that
Irishmen would forbear, as such actions only
Injured the cause. With great emphasis he
asked the landlords during the coming win
ter Of farming depression to show the stuff
they were made Of by refranlng from exact
ing rents which the soil refused to Yield. If
the landlords persisted In exacting their full!
pound of flesh, In future there would be
little flesh left to exact. Parneil said he
felt confident that Ireland was on the brink
of victory.
LONDON, Aug. 30.-The Marquis of Hart
ington, who was Minister of War under the
Gladstone government, delivered an address
at Rosedale yesterday, in which he urged
the extension Of local selfgovernment, so
that Parliament might be enabled 70 give It's
attention solely to imperial legislation. No
party, he said. would ever concede Mr.. Par.
nells demands, the ultimate result of which
would be to bind British members, irrespec-
tive OF politics, to combine to keep the en-
pire intact. Lord Harrington said he was
glad that Parnell had explicitly defined bis
position, and the conditions upon which bis
alliance could be purchased. He thought
that no political party In England would
consent to acquire or attain Office by con
ceding Parnell's demands. lie believed that
that gentleman had for once made mistake
in openly stating his demands and thereby
insuring his own defeat.
