RAILRoAD KALE1posooPE.

How By Simple Twist of the Wrist the
officials are NJ ade to Change.
Mr.. T. B. whitney, present assistant
general freight agent of the Union Pa
oific, with headquarters here, will in all
probability be made general freight
agent of the Denver, Texas and Fort
Worth line of the Pacific, with head
quarters at Denver. It has been ru-
mored that Mr.. Whitney would go to
Omaha as general freight agent, but the
Denver story has better foundation, and
there is indeed little doubt but that it is
true.
At Denver Mr.. Whitney will succeed
Mr.. II. A. Johnson, who went from the
general freight agency Of the Memphis
q few months ago to take the place he
is now about to relinquish. Mr.. johnson
will go to San Francisco in charge of all
the Union Pacitic's coast business, and
will there succeed MIR. b. Campbell who
will be sent back to Omaha to follow Mr..
J. s. Tebbetts. the man who is named
for the berth recently occupied by the
fresh and oyerzealous Mr.. McKibban.
Mr.. J. V. Parker, who was let out at
Salt Lake City several weeks ago, is to
come here in charge of Mr.. Whitney's
Office as assistant general freight agent.
These changes have not yet been an
nouncsd officially, but excellent author
ity says they will all take place.
The announcement of Mr.. johnson 8
removal will not be a surprise. 1t
was understood at the time he went
with the Union Pacific from the
Memphis that no ordinary position
awaited him when General Traffic Man
ager C. S. Mellin saw 1T to elevate
him. The Pacific coast business of the
Union Pacific is very large, and al
though MIR. Johnson title will probably
be nothing more than general agent the
salary will be one of the best paid. Mr..
johnson is a capable railroad man and
but for a difficulty with President
Charles Francis Adams few years ago
he would be higher with the Union Pa
cifc than he now is. He was reinstated
when he left the Memphis, at the earnest
solicitation of his warm personal friend,
Mr.. Mellin, the traffic manager. His
upward course will now be clear.

THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL.
An Almost Complete Tis-Up Over tbs System.
Unanimous in Opposing Superintendent
RusseiI-Ruin TO Fruit and
Vegetable Growers.

CENTRALIA, ILL.,, June 25.-The
Illinois Central strike has tied up every
thing IN the freight lines here. About
sixty men departed for their homes last
night, there to remain until the strike
is settled. The men are almost unani-
nous for the removal of Superintendent
Russell.
RUIN TO FRUIT AND VEGETABLE GROWERS
ANNA, Ill. June 2j.-The orders of
the management of the Illinois Central
railway to their agent here not to re-
ceive any perishabie freight until further
orders almost causes panic among
fruit and vegetable growers. They are
in the middle of the raspberry season,
and tomatoes and eueumbers are be-
ginning TO come in. The failure to get
transportation for these crops means
rum to many of them. An attempt was
made TO ship by express, but before half
of the stuff could be loaded the express
agent was ordered not to receive it.
CONFERENCE.
CHICAGO, ILL, June 25.-Absolute
tic up on the Illinois Central railroad
continues to-day. A conference between
the officers of the road and committee
of strikers was appointed for 9 O'Clock
this morning. Judging by the result SO
far it is not likely TO result favorably.
CHICAGO, ILL. June photographic
adyices from points in this state, Wis
consin and Iowa indicate the tle-up is
not as complete outside of Chicago as
was generally supposed yesterday. The
fact is the chief officers in the United
Railway employees who live in Galesburg,
ILL.,. If, has taken no action in the matter.
Yesterdays action of the strikers in de-
olaring tie-up on all lines under the
management of Division Superintendent
Russell, was taken without authority,
and in hope that the chief of the order
would approve it as an accomplished
fact. While most of the branch lines
seem to be at standstill, advices are to
the effect that the main system, which
trayerses the state from Dunlap to Cairo,
is still in operation, and that the lines in
Wisconsin and Iowa have not so far been
affected

Chauncey n. Depew Will In all Probability
FIJI this Important Position.
Special to the Gazette.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, June Psi is prac-
tlcally settled the president of the Ma
tioDal worlds fair commission will be
Chauncey NJ. Depew of New York, who
has signlied his willingness to John
Boyd Thatcher to accept it, At first
Depew refused to permit his name to be
mentioned, and it was because of this
that ex-Minister Palmer of Michigan en-
tered the lists as q candidate. When
Depew finally decide to permit his name
to be mentioned in this connection, he
stipulated bis acceptance depended upon
the unanimous accord of the national
commissioners. The understanding now
is there is no qualification whatever, for
it IS well known Mr.. Palmer has some
adhereuts who will vote for him in
preference to DepeW. That the latter is
the choice of the majority of
the commissioners, however, there
is no doubt. The friction between the
national commission and board of local
directors is already apparent. It is the
intention of the commissioners TO permit
local directors to choose either secretary
or directors general for the fair, al
though the directors all along considered
it was their province TO choose these two
officers. Even on the question of site
the commissioners will have full sway,
and whether they will accept the lake
front IS q matter of doubt as most Of them
think at least one thousand acres should
be devoted to fair purposes.

Goldthwaite Makes Liberal Offer Of Cash
Right OF Way and Depot Grounds.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
GoLDTHwAITE, Tex. June 23.-Col.
Chambers, representative of the Fort
Worth and Rio Grande railway, met
the citizens of Goldthwaite to-day to re-
ceiye any proposition they had to make
to induce that road to build to this place
from Comsnche. An obligation agree
ing to give a subsidy of $40, 200 and right
OF way through the county and depot
grounds in the town of Goldthwaite was
signed by committee of fifteen. 1t is
confidently believed that this will secure
the early building OF the Rio Grande to
this place, as we are directly in the path
of that road to the iron mines of Llano.
Having secured the Rio Grande we will
necessarily get the Cotton Belt extension
from GatesyilIe, W en- the railroad CEN
ter of Texas will be west of Fort Worth.
At present, by the Santa Fe, we are 225
miles from Fort Worth. The Rio Grande
will reduce the distance to about 100.

The Rock Island.

Mr.. Cherry, of the Coats thread
company, was in the city to-day, fresh
from business trip through the Indian
Territory. He reports that the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific has put a crew
of sixty five men at work grading in the
Washita valley, and that they are head
Ing us straight for Denison as possible.
The general opinion up there is that the
Rock Island is coming to Denison wheth-
er they also go to the Panhandle or not.
II is thought that the active movement
by Mr.. Gould has stirred the Rock Island
people to renewed activity, and that the
Santa Fe will not delay much longer
building their much-talk ed of line to the
Gate City = Denison Herald.

SIGNS OF ACTIVITY.

Indications that the Texas and Pacific will
Get a Move on Herself.
General Manager Grant of the Texas
and Pacific went West over the road
several days ago on business that has not
been made public, but there are those
who predict that his trip has some sig
nificance. He spent the most of Sunday
in this city and while here made a
thorough inspection OF the yards in COM
pany with other officers of the road. 1t
is said that the Texas and Pacific Will
very shortly begin extensive improve
ments in the yards at this point, the
improvements to be according to pro-
gramme mapped out by Mr.. Gould while
in Texas. 1t is also intimated that the
work of the Texas and Pacific will not
stop at this, but that other important
work will be done west of Fort
Worth. 1t looks very much
like this road is going to get move on
herself at last and begin the work the
people have been looking for for a long
time. The purchase of the Denison,
Bonham and New Orleans road by Mr..
Gould, the transfer of which has just
been made to his lieutenants indicates
that he is on the eve of reaching out for
territory he has long had his eye on. 1t
would be no surprise if important move
meuts by this road should be developed
in q short time.

THE RAILROADS.
4 Popular Method of Doing Business
Adopted by the Denver Road.
Big Railroad Strikes at ST. Louis and on the
Illinois Central-Local and General
Railroad News.

The manner in which patrons of the
in cases where damage or loss has been
sustained in consignments of merchan-
disc is making that road more and more
popular every day, and it would be q
pleasant feature in railroad history if all
other roads would follow the example.
In cases where a merchant on the line of
the road receives a consignment of
freight which has been damaged in
transit or has been broken open and
portions of it distracted, whether the
loss occurred on the Denver road or on
the consignment, the merchant is at
once paid for the loss and not made to
wait until the railroad ascertains
where the loss occurred. In speaking
of this matter to GAZETTE reporter yes
tsrday General Freight and Passenger
Agent NewlIn said:
81 have adopted this rule as pure
matter of business and right. If a n
signee has sustained loss on goods
shipped him he is entitled to remunera-
i4Oh 4AOAa hhO NhN 90 HO 40 ASSo
able TO lose the use of his money for any
length of time than the railroad is, why
We just pay him the amount of the loss
he proves up and then begin the work of
Rsoertaining where the blame is. We
take receipt for the money so paid, and
should it appear that the loss was on
some connecting line, this receipt is in
the nature of a voucher which the Den
yer can present to the other road.
'You see it might take six months TO
track back and determine who is respon-
sible for s loss sustained, and If
merchant was kept ont of his
money that long it might in almost all
cases work n hardship on him. In or
der 10 avoid this we just pay the dam
ages or loss, and go back on the other
road, II another road is at fault. II the
loss occurs on our line it is the same.
''This is certainly calculated to popu-
larize the Denver with the public, sng-
gested the reporter.
Eyes, I suppose so, but that is not
what prompted the adoption of this rule.
a desire to do the square thing by our
patrons was the prompter. OF course,
in cases of the kind 1 have mentioned,
the road could keep q consignee out of
money a great while, but what would
be the good of it? The road would gain
nothing and the patron would suffer in
convenience, -

Katx Conductors Fired.

Spoilers are again working on the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas, and as a re-
.ult thres passenger conductors were dis
charged several days ago. One of them :
James Mallory, is an old timer, but tfs
other two, W. J. Cornelius and Ed QRr-
rigen, were promoted from freight Tqns
only few months ago. There Is eon-
siderable uneasiness among those re
naming as they do not know who wiz
the next to go. When sweeping dls-
charges took place some time ago on ting
road the salary of conductors was raIsea
from 500 to SIPS per month and the Nod
required to give bond ia the sum of S30e
each. This company pays its conductors
more than any other company in the
country.

Powers to Be Enlarged.

The Omaha papers publish the state
ment that the authority of General
Manager Meek of the gulf division of the
Union Pacific is to be extended, and that
he will have charge of some of the off,
Gals in that city. This is confirmed by
the appointment of S. F. Rhoades as su-
perintendent of the stone department,
with orders to report 10 General Manager
Meek in Denver.
The extension of Mr.. Meek's powers
means that the administration is well
pleased with his able management, and
this speaks volumes in his favor.

Five Hundred Freight Handlers Omit work
ut st. Louis.
Special to the Gazette.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 25.-Without
warning 500 freight handlers and plat
form men in the East st. Louis railroad
yards quit work this morning. Not o
pound of freight is coming to the city.
The strikers were paid yesterday, and
held a meeting last evening. 1t was de-
cided to demand an increase from 81 %
to $1.50 per day of ten hours. This
morning the demand was made, and on
failing to receive an immediate advance
the men all went out. The strike will
tie up thousands OF cars of freight in
tended for this city and the Southwest.
1t is regarded as positive that the switch
men and other railroad employees will
take advantage of the tie-up to present
grievances. The Vandalia has applied TO
the East st. Louis police for a squad to
protect the depots and roundhouses from
damage.
