.Freight Business Improviue.

The train records show that last week there
were received and forwarded at this point total
of 1901 cars, of which number $4,000 were
loaded cars against 1869 in the week ending
April 10, of which number 1869 were loaded,
and against II, 270 for the corresponding week in
1885, of which number 1852 were loaded cars
From this it will be seen that ,301 more loaded
cars were handled at this point last week than
in the week ending April 10, while there
we're but 572 less loaded cars han
died last week than in the cor
consideration the exhibit is certainly crafty
ing one, as it shows that the strikesin the South
west are not so seriously affecting business as in
either of the three preceding weeks However,
east-bound shipments still exceedingly light.
1t is not overstating matters to say that the
prospects for an early improvement are good. as
shippers will no longer hold back business ex-
pecting reduction in rates, and indications are
tat there is to be in the near future a
bitter export demand for grain and provisions.
West bound the tonnage with all roads was
heavier last week than 1t was east bound.
Freights which were held back were forwarded,
and yards at this point are now well cleared OF
west-bound freights. North and south roads are
averaging we'll in volume of traffic with the
April tonnage OF former years. Corn, ice, pro-
visions are moving southwark in considerable
quantities. Local business was heavier last
week than in the preceding week, but hardly up
to the tonnage of the corresponding week. 1885.
Live stock traffic, both local and through, is
moving more freely and compares favorable the
last few days with that Of 1885, in April. Below
we give the number of cars received and for
warded at this point in the week ending April IL,
and of the corresponding week. 1855:

that arrangements were pending to make 1t good
when he left Angelica He said that Mr.. Paul,
one Of the directors. would reach here to-mor-
row, and that after an interview with him. he
would make q complete statement concerning
the affairs of the bank. Mr.. Robinson said that,
on account of his age ard failing health, he
should have resigned year ago, and then he
would not have had to face the present trouble.
Mr.. Robinson says the report that the bulk of
the money was dropped in the Chicago wheat
market was false He said that he did deal in
wheat but did not drop any of the banks money
nor any of his own. In regard to the Graves
tate, he says that the failure Of the bank did not
affect the estate, as the bank was not indebted
to the estate over $40. He says that his disso-
lutte SON is in the West and is quite able to look
after himself; that he has not advanced him a
penny for years, and that the report that this
may have had something TO do with the defalca-
ton is untrue.

From the above statement il will be seen that
6l3 more loaded cars were forwarded last week
than in the week ending April 10, while there
were 499 fewer cars than in the corresponding
week, 1885,
Officers and agents Of connecting lines of the
Central Passenger Committee here received the
following notice from Commissioner George H.
Daniels. "Your attention is respectfully called

tee which it will be necessary, in future. to en-
force IL is as follows: In order to throw
proper safeguards around the issue of passes on
account of the passenger department., 1t is here
by agreed that no passes shall be issued to pas

ployed by connecting lines in the passenger
service, except upon the request of the general
passenger or ticket agent of the company in
whose employ the applicant may be; Ii being
further understood and agreed that this bylaw
shall be printed and made use of by all lines in

which do not come to US through the channel
above designated"
The l.. b. s. w. shows disposition to keep
ont of the Central Traffic Association so far AS
Its passenger business is concerned. A little
study OF their business becomes matter of inter

this amount the freight traffic paid
81, 6l5, 567; the passenger business S973, 578,
or fully 40 per cent Of the gross
earnings, which is q remarkable exhibit
for Western road. A majority of Western
arrangements feel nicely if 80 per cent. of the
gross earnings come from passenger business.
That the l., B. e. W. is well situated and gets
its full share of the travel, no one will question
who notices their trains. OF course If this bnsi-
ness is secured by cutting rates, the l., B. e. w.
should by all means steer clear of all agree
ments. The understanding now is that all roads

Strike of Lake Shore switchmen.

CHICAGO April 17.-At o'clock this even
ing the switchmen employed In the various
yards Of the Lake Shore railway through
out the city and suburbs carried out their
threat to strike If the company refused
to discharge eight men who accepted work from
the road during the strike of 1881. The strikers
number seventy-four men. A meeting Of them
and their sympathizers was in session near the
Forty third-street yards, when q messenger ar
rived from the general yardmaster with COM
munication, stating that he had been instructed
to say the company declined to accede to the de-
mands for displacement of the eight so called
"scabs" in its employ here. Immediately news
OF the companys action was spread and all the
union switchmen promptly ceased work. With
equal promptness advertisements were sent by
Lake Shore officials to all the morning papers,
calling for fifty switchmen to apply at the COM
pany's Offices for work. 1t Is not known whether
not the strike is begun by authority of the
switchmens union. A feature of the strike is
that, unlike the Missouri Pacific strikers, the
men who have gone out do not claim to be any
longer employees of the Lake Shore road They
say they have ''gone out for good" All dis
claim any intention of interfering in any way
with the operation of the road.
Late tonight the Lake Shore officials at

Prince Bismarck on Che Polish ouestlon.

BERLIN, April 1.-THE final debate in the
upper house OF the Prussian Diet on the bill to
Germanize Poland was the occasion of strong
speech by Prince Bismarck. The Chancellor,
in replying to the charge of Polish member
Herr kiochielski, that the government policy of
determination would never cause the Poles to
feel discouraged, denied that he was an enemy
Of the Polish people. He said that he only
wanted to protect the Germans; that the bill in
question aimed solely at the raising of the bar
rier against Polandism. He claimed that by the
authority and influence of the Polish nobility and
clergy entire villages had been forced to be-
come Polandized. After making this speech
the Chancellor walked to his home, and was
followed by an immense crowd who cheered all

The c., B. g. @. people seemingly entertain a
kindly feeling toward Indianapolis and its sys-
tenn Of roads, and, in connection with the l., B.
6 W., are turning q good deal of business in this
direction, both passenger and freight. The
Omaha Daily World Of April ID has this to say
of the matter: mot long ago the World called
attention to the fact that Omaha shippers ana
travellers were compelled by pool alliances to pay
tribute in every form to Chicago, as against Gin
cinnati, Indianapolis and the great manufactur-
ing cities of the Ohio river valley. This tribute
is enforced by the delay of mails at Chicago, the
combination Of railroads with bus lines, hotels
the East, by Peoria, was shown to be eight hours,
as against Chicago. A part Of the article
referred to was an interview with an official Of
the Indiana, Bloomington 81 Western road, in
which he described the method Of Chicago in
whipping railroads into avenues of tribute. The
article has resulted in agitation Of the rights
of shippers and passengers, and has had some
effect. Beginning on last Sunday, frstrclass
through coaches are TO run daily between Indi-
annapolis and Lincoln via the Indiana, Blooming
ton & Western railroad and the Chicago, Bur-
ington & Quincy railroad, as follows: Leave
Indianapolis at 7:50 A.. NJ; arrive at 1130 A. NJ
Leave Lincoln at $3.50 P. M; arrive at Indianapo-
lis at $50 p. M.
''General IlckeC ana passenger agent EuSClS,
of the Burlington & Missouri. speaking of this
remarkably long line haul, said this morning that
in some respects it was an experiment. The
cars would make trips of nearly 700 miles, plac-
ing Omaha In close relation with Indianapolis,
the greatest inland railroad city in the world.
Mr.. Eustis added that the value of Indianapolis
as connection was highly appreciated by the
Burlington, and that they would try to devslope
the new line.
'If it succeeds In passenger business, closer
freight alliances may be made and the Chicago
contribution avoided The difference in the vol
ume of business would more than compensate
the Burlington for its haul from Galesbur9 to
Chicago.
$50 far there Is little in the new method for
Omaha beyond the fact that it will tend to
develop Nebraska A similar throughcar serv-
ice has been put on between Kansas City and
PEORIA but in that case free chaircars instead of
ordinary coaches are used These chair-cars are
necessary to compete with the Chicago g Alton
line which, connecting with the Indianapolis
road at Bloomington Ill, Is a strong competitor
of the Burlington.
ssThere great industries at indianapolis
which are developing for the lack of what
Omaha has in abundance. An exchange would
benefit both"
