bought the bonds and whose own plans might be

fear but that the wisdom of the act will bs
abnndantly demonstrated in the near future.
There are enough to criticize in the management

The New York Shipping List says: "How very

rapidity with which Improvement in the iron
trade has been reflected on the other side. No
sooner was the advance in steel rails cabled to
London than speculative movement in Scotch
iron was commenced that advanced prices more
than two shillings per ton. in the expectation,
probably, that the experience Of 1880 was to
be repeated, but fortunately for ourselves the IN

The Outlook for Peace Still Unfavorable.
There is faint belief that the trunk line
officials will at their meeting in New York. to-
day, do something toward settling their troubles
and the restoration of rates. There is rumor,
but it lacks confirmation on careful inquiry, that
the issues between the trunk lines had been
practically settled by an agreement between
them to establish money pool, under heavy
forfeits, to last for seven years. without the
privilege of withdrawal On any account. There
seems to be some reason to think that such
pool was contemplated by the managers of the
Vanderbilt Pennsylvania negotiations, but that
when the proposition was submitted to
the Baltimore e. Ohio company it met with a
positive rejection on account of stipulation
upon which the New York Central insisted to
the effect that there should he but one rate to
the seaboard from Western points. The claim
that neither Philadelphia nor Baltimore should
have low err rates than New York has long been
a subject of dispute between the New York Cen
trail and more it's southern competitors. That was
the only issue involved in the great war of 1876,
aud that seems to be the main subject of the pres

CONSCIENCE of the severity of the present rail
road is questionable though some astute
managers think that it will su bmit rather than
entail further loss. Yesterday the reduction OF
rates was made prominent in the higher classes
of freight, and Western shippers could almost
name their own terms. 1t looked as though
some time will elapse before any satisfactory ad-
justment among the carrying roads can be
reached.

The Rate Situation at Chicago.


CHICAGO, Sept 15.-The war of rates among
the east bound roads yesterday assumed a new
phase in that fast-freight lines operating over
the Erie. Lackawanna and Vanderbilt roads,
with the exception of the Blue line ordered an
advance in grain rates to New York to IL cents
The Pennsylvania people claim not to be taking
grain at a less rate than IL cents to New York
and are not anxious to carry at that figure.
None of the roads will agree to quoting shippers
present rates more than twenty four
hours in advance. and all indications
point to speedy advance from
all Interior Western points. In this connection
the statement is made by people in the con-
fidence of the management of Eastern trunk
lines that an agreement has already been made
providing for a seven-years money pool on bust
nees to the seaboard. AS evidence that some
understanding has been reached among the East
ern trunk lines, the fact is cited that they are
now demanding their full proportion of a 15c
rate ON grain to New York. and the further fact
that the agents of Chicago east bound lines have
instructions to quote present cut rates only from
day to dAy,

The Cheap Transportation Question Solved.
Water transportation, year by year, cuts less
important figure so wonderful cheapening of
transportation between the West and the East
has been going on for twenty years, but there
was time when the closing of the lakes and
canals was followed by an advance of railroad
tariff. Of late this has not been the case. the
competition between the trunk railroads being
30 eager that the canals do not appear to be
taken into consideration. To-day the capacity
of the trunk lines is largely in excess of the bus
mess dozen years ago the building Of the
trunk lines of railway by the government was
urged by influential element for the purpose
West and the East and to put an end to the mo-
nopoly of the railroad corporations Now pri-
waite capital has constructed many lines that
the business is not sufficient to keep the lines
employed.

Matters Coming to q Head.

It has been well known for some months past
that the Union Railway Company and the c., H.
& D. Railroad Company disagree as to what rental
the latter shall pay for use Of Union tracks and
the Union Depot. The Union Railway Company.
which reorganized May l, 1884, adopted new
method of fixing rentals of leasing lines which
makes them pay in the same proportion as do
the proprietary lines paying interest on the APP
praised value of the Union Depot, etc., and on
the wheelage basis for the use of the Union
tracks and Belt railroad. The c., H s. D. fall
back on their lease with the rgnal
Union Railway Company. which stipulates
that they shali pay but $500 per month for the
terminal facilities furnished by the Union Rail
way Company, and they have rendered this
sum from time to time since the new Union
Railway Company took control, and the latter
refuses to receive it. taking the ground that
they, not the c., Fl. 8 u. company, are to fix the
rental of leasing lines. Matters will now likely
come to head, as the Union Railway Company
now retains the money all tickets sold at the
Union Depot offset against the rental
they claim is due them from the c., FL. 6 D.

The Trouble Mr.. Carlisle Caused iy Making
Too Many Promises.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2-There were n lot Of
mad members at the House 20 day. This was
the last day of this session on which bills could
be put upon their passage under suspension of
the rules and over one hundred members hal
secured pledges TO be recognized by the Speaker
for the purpose of calling UP bills they were
especially interested in. Among the many bills
were several providing for public buildings in
numerous cities Before II o'clock tllis morning
members began calling at the Speakers room at
the Capitol TO ascertain the order in which they
were to be recognized. What was their amaze
ment to find, not Speaker Carlisle there. but
Mr.. Blackburn, with the information that he had
beer designated to act as Speaker pro tempore,
and the further information that "the Speaker
was suffering with 2 bad cold;" and their amaze
ment was aggravated by being informed by Mr.
Blackburn that he knew nothing about promises
to recognize members, and should act in that
matter only rs the eXigencies of the occasion
dictated. Then there were complaints loud and
deep. Some disappointed members went so far
as to say Speaker Carlisle was not i'll, and was
only hiding from thep, knowing he had prom
ised to recognize ten times as many members as
it was possible for him to recognize

A Strong Speech in Support of the Senate
Interstate Commerce Bill.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb 2-Senator Harrison a6-
dressed the Senate, this afternoon, on the inter-
state commerce bill. He opposed the Reagan
bill and gave his reasons for supporting the Sem
ate bill on this subject His speech was an excep-
tionally strong one and commanded the atten-
tion OF the Senate because fits very clear law
points and originality. Senator Harrison sever
al times engaged Senator Coke, of Texas who ad-
vocafes the Reagan bill, in sharp colloquieS-
The Lone Star statesman WINGED under the In
dianians logic, and for awhile the debate was en-
ceedngy interesting Senator Harrison thought
the Senate bill, which provides for commission
to see that the law regulating interstate COM
merce enacted by that measure is properly ex-
ecuted, would be infinitely more satisfactory in
its result than the Reagan bi that commits
sion would avoid much litigation and yet
secure the same benefits to injured parties by
negotiation for reparation between complanants
and offenders; should the offenders refuse to be
just and repair wrongs, then the commission
would report them to the prosecuting attorneys.
and prosecution would follow. The Senate bin
made it possible for railroad company to right
wrong without prosecution, through the me-
Gium of commissioners, but it could not be done
under the Reagan bill, because to pay back to =
the shipper excessive charges would be giving .
rebate which tho Reagan bill forbids, The
schedules in the Reagan bill were, the Senator
thought, impracticable, and the directions laid
down as to long and short hauls were untried
and were not known to be just A commission
could ascertain what was just and equitable to
all parties on these points and report to Congress,
and future legislation could be enacted The
position taken by Senator Harrison is consid-
cred the one nearest to equity to both shipper
and corporation assumed by the many who have
spoken on the subject.
