Anything BUT BRIGHT.
Manager ChappelI, Of the Alton, Says
the Outlook for Railroads Is
Gloomy.
GRAIN RATES CUT AGAIN.
The Rate Diff. .culties Between Western
Roads Referred to the General !
Managers.

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-General Manager
G. Fl. Chappell, who, with other officials
of the Chicago & Alton, has just COM
pleted tour of inspection over the
lines of that road, takes a rather bearish
view of the crop outlook. When asked
about railroad earnings during the last
half of 1883, he said:
'"The prospect is decidedly poor. In
the first place the wheat crop is not
turning out nearly so well as was ex-
pected, and there is scarcely any of it
moving. 1t was expected that the wheat
would grade No. in Chicago and st.
Louis, but it now appears that it will
only grade 3 and 4. This, of course.
cuts down the market prices and re-
duceS the amount shipped. The oats
crop is also turning out badly. and /
understand that is only showing
eighteen or twenty pounds to the
bushel. The corn crop is all right,
but there will not be enough
moved this year to affect earnings. On
the whole, the outlook for the railroads
is anything but bright, especially when
we consider the new lines that are in
vading the territory every year." In
regard to the removal of the fast trains
to Kansas City and Omaha, MIR. Chap
pell said they would certainly have to
go, and that the managers would not
revoke their decision. 1t was purely a
matter of economy, he said, and there
was absolutely no foundation for the
report that the long lines had threat
ened to cut the rate unless the limited
trains were removed.

PRESIDENTIAL PLUMS.

Mr.. Cleveland Has Determined
That Soft Places in the Army

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-A striking
instance of the persistence with which
President Cleveland holds to prede-
termined course of action will shortly
come to light. There will be retire
ment in the subsistence department of
the army. which will cause several pro-
motions and leave vacancy of cap
fancy to be filled by appointment.
The position is desirable, and there
has been a flood of applications from
every quarter pouring in upon the presi-
dent. Your correspondent is able to re-
port conversation which Well-known
gentleman had with President Cleye-
land On Thursday last concerning army
appointments in general and the pros.

FLAGRANT NEPoTIsM PREVAILED.
Old men who had arrived almost at
the age of retirement were appointed
from civilian life to positions which Off
GERS who had served in the army for
years should have received. Second
.lieutenants fresh from West Poiut, and
men with strong political backing, were
pushed into staff positions and far more
deserving and meritorious officers were
ignored. The army was made the tool
of politicians. I determined to stop it.
said Mr.. Cleveland, emphatically, II
hope that l shall have put the appoint
ments to the army in such position
that no subsequent administration will
ever dare revert to former prac-
tees" These so-called ''SOft places"
belong to long and meritorious service.
Would it be right to pass over first and
second lieutenants who have served
from fifteen to twenty years without
even re ching captaincy and appoint
to this vacancy young second lieuten-
ant who has served but six years? Yet
that is what am asked to do. There
are over sixty applications for this
place, and do not know of recent ap-
pointment which has caused more an
noyance Or made me more enemies than
this one will. There is young second
lieutenant, the one of whom spoke,
who had the strongest possible political
and social backing. 1t was necessary
to tell his friends that he could not have
the place. By so doing

"But it would have been wrong to
promise him the appointment. l have
sent to all the department commanders
and to the adjutant general asking who
is best fitted and most deserving of this
place. | do not want to see the man
who will get it. He will be appointed
on his record. The man who is found,
on consultation and comparison of the
recommendations to be the most deserv-
ing and most fitted, will get the place.
This is my view of the way to fill staff
positions in the army, and [ shall adhere
to it. The patronage of the army has
been looked upon and treated as per-
quisite of the president under the past
administrations. 1t will not be by me-"

The Arkansas Congressman Con-
templates Some Reductions on
the Tariff.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-Congressman
Breckenridge, of Arkansas, introduced
several tariff reduction bills in the house
to-day. They place cotton bagging, coal
oil and petroleum and cotton seed on
the free list. One of the bills provides
that distilled spirits containing so
per cent of anhydrous alcohol shall paw
90centS internal revenue tax per gallon:
and that alcohol containing 81 per cent
of anhydrouS alcohol shall pay ST 80 per
gallon; provided that no change of
duty shall be construed to apply to what
is known as beverage whisky. Another
bill affecting sugar tariffs pro-
vldeS that all sugar above No. 13 ID. S.
and not above No. 16 ID. S. shall paw
2.52 cents per pound; above No. 16 and
not above No. 90, 2.62 cents per pound:
above No. 20, 2.70 cents pei pound. Mr..
Brecklnridge, in explaining the object
of these bills to a United Press report
er, said that he was aiming more at the
trust features than those of the reye-
nue.. He hoped to destroy the monop-
oily and trusts formed under the present
tariff and internal revenue laws. With
that purpose in view, and also the fact
that there was no prospect of any legis-
lation on the tariff in this congress bv
the passage of either the Mills or
the much-talked-of senate bill.
he believed something may be
accomplished by specific measures.
81 have in dealing with this sugar ques-
ton" said Mr.. Breckenridge, confined
my propositions to the fine sugar. |
have protected the labor involved. and
also the legitimate interests of the re-
finers and dealers. | have reduced the
margin on the higher grades of sugar.
because only on those grades are trusts
formed, there being no opportunity to
form trust on raw or unrefined sugar.
l put bagging on the free list till next
March, when the new crop comes in.
The article for consumption till that
date is under contract, and the con-
tractors are protected by their contracts.
The result of this will be that the trusts
will be squeezed. Then L give free ma

CHICAGO, Aug. 2O.-Recent move
ments tend to confirm the belief that
the Illinois Central will not only invade
Nebraska. but also Wyoming and pos
sibly Colorado. The objective point
will be either Ogden or Denver, with
the chances in favor of the former. Ar
ticles OF Incorporation of the Wyoming
& Eastern Railroad company have
recently been filed with the
secretary of the territory at
Cheyenne. The Illinois Central is be-
lleved to be backing this enterprise.
The capital stock is 100000 and the
length of the road to be built in the ter
ritory is 425 miles. The initial point of
the new road is at or near Twin Creek,
on the southwestern boundary of Utah
and Wyoming, where it is to connect
with another road to Ogden and Salt
Lake City,, The. route designated is
easterly and northeasterly through the
valley of Horn Fork, the South
Pass, the Sweetwater and North
Platte valleys, to the Nebraska bound
ary. Between the main lines of the
Elkhorn valley (Northwestern) and the
Union Pacific, is a vast unoccupied
stretch of country, the productive
wealth of which has scarcely been
touched. The eastern counties are well

STILL UNSETTLED
Concerning the Northern Pacific
Agreement.

Special to the Globe
WINNIPEG, Man., Aug. 20.-Mr. Ken
bricks is expected here tomorrow, when
developments in connection with the
railway situation are expected. The
government state positively that the
deal is not off, and they intimate that if
certain amendments to the contract,
which they will insist upon, are con-
ceded, it will be ratified by the legis-
lature when it meets. Unless these
amendments are conceded it is not
likely that the contract will be adopted.
They would not have the effect of ma
terially altering the completion of the
contract. The announcement that a
proposal is to be made by the ST. Paul,
Minneapolis & Manitoba people is1e-
ceived here with deriSion, as it is be
lieved to be simply-a bluff and job put
up by the Canadian Pacific railway to
prevent cOnsummation of the North
ern Pacific agreement. 1t is said that
the fact that the Minneapolis d Mani
toba receives annually half million
bounty from the Canadian Pacific rail-
way to stay out of the country is enough
to make the public recoil from entering
into any agreement with that company.
