RAILWAY NOTES.

New buildings and improvements are still
progressing along the line Of the shenandoah
Valley railway.
Dispatches from Chicago state that there
were tumOrs there Of n 10 cent grain rate TO
New York, and that the decentralization was
extending to the higher classes OF freight.
A total loss of about $4,000 was occasioned
by the burning, Tuesday night, Of the Knox
and Lincoln nd station ut ROcknnd, Me-,
together with seven ears and quantity OF
freight
Col. Fred Grant has declined the position
offered him in the engineering department Of
the Chicago and Great Western terminal
scheme at the request and because fthe desire
Of his mother, who wishes him TO reside with
her in New York.
IL is feared that the complications into
which the western railroads huyc drifted are
OF such serious character that q western
war, not unlike that which his been waIcd
for year or two pnst between eastern trunk
lines, is inevitable.
II Is semi.oiiiclally stated that the Intcrna.
tional and Great Northern road which is q
part of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas system,
has floating debt of Sl,0OD,OOO, and that the
Rio Grande division Of the Texas aud Pacific
has not been nblc to earn onc-half its fixed
charges during the past year.
In the review Of the business situation, Gen.
eral Manager Swand, Of the American Iron and
steel Association says: There Is q more hopeful
feeling prevailing IN business circles in all
large manufacturing and business conters.
steel rails have advanced from S2I in July, In
Pennsylvanin, to s2g and $50 at the close OF
August. We know OF several thousand tons of
standard sections that were sold last week by
Pennsylvania company for delivery in No
yember and December at $50 at the mill.
The Galveston and st. Louis Construction
| Company has obtained entire control OF the
Gulf, Short Line and 81, Louis railway aud will
| begin Immediately putting the road In thorough
| condition preparatory to extending II to Garth.
| age II is understood that all the Indebtedness
| against the railway company has been paid by
| the construction company, which will complete
| the link between the Gulf and 81. Louis, ext
tending through the entire length OF the vas.
| pineries Of Texas.
The South Pennsylvania Is now nothing
more than projected road without as Mr..
Roberts says, a mile OF track, any rolling stock
| or stations, and, In fact has nothing but a few
| furrows and partlally.bored tunnels. Work has
| practically stopped thereon, and so far as any
| influence II may have upon the future relations
| of the trunk lines TO each other Is concerned II
has been strangled before peeplng into exist
ence. The sui OF the attorney general, what
| ever else II may accomplish, won't provide
| money for building the road as an independent
| line; and until that is done the South Penn.
| Bylvania has 10 more to do with the situation
| than the great trnnscontinental air lines which
| have, in times past, been so freely projected
upon paper.-Wall Street News

The Campaign "weekIy Republican

The Campaign "Weekly Republican"
Desiring TO do all in our power toward insur-
ing the success of the Republican cause in
states which hold elections this year, we have
decided to send the weekly issue of THE
NATIONAL REpuBIIcAN from this date until
the 18th of November for the merely nominal
price of ten cents.
THE WEEKLY REPUBLICAN, Is almost entirely
filled with reading matter, and no effort is
spared to make 1t more than satisfactory to the
most exacting of Its patrons
In Its editorials, its news from all part of the
world lis contributed and selected articles,
and market reports from the important trade
cSnters, THE WEEKLY REPUBLICAN is conceded
to be the best political and family newspaper
ever published at the national capital.
One dime will put a copy of THE
WEEKLY REPUBLICAN into any home in
the United States from now till Nov. 10.
One dollar will supply ten copies to ten
separate subscribers Ten dollars will send
leo copies TO 100 different addresses
Candidates for state or county offices can
find mo more effective way of promoting
Republican success than by aiding in the
circulation Of THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,.
State, county, and township committees
can push forward their work in no more
efiectual manner than by sending the WEEKLY
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN among the voters.
The publishers confidently expect that the
liberal offer now made will be gladly accepted
by many thousands of earnest Republicans,
as well as intelligent Democrats, who arc
willing to invest ten cents in order to learn
from the most reliable source and in respectful
language the views of the opposition.
