A comparative table of the strength
of the merchant navies Of the world
which has just been published in France
shows that Great Britain possesses o.
800 trading vessels, with an aggregate
tonnage of 11,200,000 tons. OF these
vessels 4,649 are steamers, with tom
mage of $4,000 tons, or rather more
than one-half the grand total of burden.
The United States makes 4 very bad
second, with $500 sail and 100000
tons. Norway has 4.200 vessels, with
1,50G, 600 tons, and Germany, which
comes Immediately after her, has 5000
sail, with total of 100000 tons;
France, Italy and Russia bring up the
rear, each with less than 5000 vessels.
The proportion of steamers is, however,
of greater Importance than the total
number of ships engaged in trade, and
in this regard France stands second, al
though she has but 45S steamers, OF
667, 900 tons in all, to England's 4.649.
Germany presses her closely with 40
steamers and 476, 900 tons.

And little toss of the golden head.

And said her prayers. and went to bed.

But the last thought fades into dreamland's

Isn't it funny how dreams come true?"

The Strike Trouble at Cummings.

CHICAGO, June 5.-To-day. as we'll as yester-
day, was full of excitement at Cummings The
full Hyde Park police force was called out this
afternoon, and women to the number of several
hundred congregated about the crossing of the
belt line and the Rock Island tracks when an
engine was seen coming down to take
out the nail Upon the arrival
of the engine Superintendent Chamberlain told
the switchmen that they would be expected to
do no more. Then the engineer and fireman, at
the request of the mob. left the engine and stood
one side. Superintendent Chamberlain himself
at once boarded the engine. backed to the cars
and the coupling was made. Here trouble com
menced A chunk of coal was thrown which
hit Murphy, the man who did the coupling, on
the arm; another was thrown through the cab
window, narrowly missing Superintendent Cham
berlain's head The police forced the crowd back,
while the women yelled ''scabs," and applied all
eorts OF opprobrious epithets They said If the
police were men they would take Off their stars
and quit. At this juncture, crowd of men ran
up the track half mile and took out four
lengths of rails, threw them into the ditch
and destroyed the ties. While repairs
were being made the crowd swarmed

ing the crowd before them. through sloughs and
bushes During the charge of the police, An
drew Stub and VIM. McGinnis, who were ap-
parently leading the crowd, were arrested and
placed In Jail. They will be held for melting
riot When the engine finally crossed over
the repaired track and reached the main
branch a dozen cars were found standing
in such position across the switch that hour
time was consumed in making the way clear.
This done. the engine with the two cars of nails,
started for Chicago, but, when Stony Island ave-
nue. was reached switch was discovered half
turned Nothing further. however, delayed the
progress Of the train. No attempt will be made
to morrow to move the other cars, but on Mon
day they will be started, and serious trouble is
expected.

the bankruptcy courts. He also claims that the
Missouri Pacific road is the source OF the great

an Answer Which Has the Right Ring tn It.

Association. passenger department., has sent let
tess to the general passenger agents Of India

caxo aud its northwestern lines present cut
rates. as it would lead to a general demoraliza-
tion Of rates. FL. NJ. Bronson, general passen-
ger agent of the l., B. 6 W., under date of June

manner:
sReferrine to yours of the 9TH: The continual
repetition of such performances as are now go
ing on between Chicago, Council Bluffs and St

present against our belonging to any association.
We are asked to let those lines have rates of SO

business go TO Chicago, and stand still and wait
for fear il will demoraliZe business. Now.
claim that if the Central Passenger Committee
Is any good at all, whenever there Is q cut in
rates from Chicago, either east or west, that the
lines in Central Passenger Committee territory
not interested in Chicago should be notified

selves by using these rates as basing rates, and
IsUt let all the business drift into Chicago.

&Astue from having all the rates maDipufateu IN

tiDually defrauded ont OF our revenue by the
quarrels of lines terminating at Chicago. l have

Chicago to watch this business, and whenever
there is any cut from there either east or west,
that affects our line to put down our rates CORE
spondinely from all points on our road and pub

idea that has got into the minds of the people
that they can always get through cheaper by GO
