an exception, trimming may extend

some high class jackets are enriched by
jet or gilt embroidery or braiding on the
fronts, up the open seams at the back
and on collar and cuffs. Collars are
generally flariDg and sometimes with

the collar is turned down, circlets of

10 all the railroads of the country will not
fail TO have some influence upon earnings.
though the action of the traffic associations
will not work so material change as has
resulted from the Self-imposed ciaSsifica-
tons already accepted.
The committee which made the report
10 the respective traffic associations were
possessed Of 4 limited authority. Il had
no creative power. Its duty was simply
to consolidate existing claSsifications. This
work it has done and has submitted its
work to the associations to which it was
responsible. While it has done the work
well, and while some reductions in earnings
may result at first, when the final consum-
nation of the project is reached our rail-
road systems will be placed on a basis
which viii assure enduring prosperity
always assuming that management of SUI
ficient intelligence and broadness TO appre-
ciate facts is in control of operations.
The main point of contention which has
resulted in the secession of the Transcon-
tinental association was the dispute as to
carload rates. On the roads of the far
West, at some seasons, carloads are diff
cult to procure, and the placing Of less than
carloads on carload basis was sure TO re-
suit in greatly diminished earnings to
tnem, While II was no severe harCSnlp 10
the trunk and Missouri river lines which
received the freight that was brought from
the Pacific.
The far Western lines run through a diff
cult and sparsely settled country, whose
productive capacity cannot be compared
with that of the Eastern section, and a
change of classification which operated to
reduce present earnings could not fail to
awaken concern, if 1t did not endanger the
possessions of the holders of the property.
And it is not altogether impossible that the
thought which influenced the action of the
association which parted company, was due
TO the sense that the work of the associa-
tions east and south OF the Missouri should
push their work TO completion before the
remainder of the country should be adapted
TO its requirements.
In every aspect then, the situation Of the
railroads is encouraging. Unity Of action
has been secured. Harmony ought 10 be
the watchword. Fixed rates under uni
form classification has been the main point
10 which the efforts OF railroad men have
been devoted since 1887, and their eXertions
are now bearing fruit. The consolidation
of management actually preceded in large
measure the action Of the presidents de-
signed to consolidate the financial interests
of the roads. Their work was rendered
easy, and its success assured in advance.

devoted to doing good among all who
needed her aid and she has won an appro-
pirate title of Lady Abbess." She has

SOLVING THE PROBLEM.
The Classification Changes and Their Eff
fects Upon Earnings.

The New York Journal of Finance has
the following regarding the Uniform CLASH
tication which will doubtless prove of in
terest:
II the view expressed in the Journal of
Finance that the falling of of railroad
earnings is coincident with the changes
made in classification is correct. il relieves
the railroad situation of much that has been
q matter of concern. # II is but a mere
step towards more stability in rates and
practical unity of action in the future, no
fear need be felt with regard to the situa-
ton.
That rates fell off on the Eastern roads,
known rs the trunk lines, 1T the beginning
of 1855, Immediately after the application of
4 new classification, is matter of record
and that earnings were materially lower
that year than in the year previous is also a
subject Of statistical information; and,
further, that they have increased with
rapid strides, strides which have kept pace
with the development of the country, is
also fact proven by undisputed evidence
This means well for the railroads since the
adoption of uniform classifcations is pub
lie notice TO railroads operating under them
of the rates charged by every other road
and matter which cannot fail TO instill uni
lyersal confidence in railroad management
But the work is not yet completed. 1t is
still progressing. While the classi6catioos

What Channcey Says.

In regard to the proposed scheme of Jay
Gould by which gigantic consolidation of
Western lines was to be effected by which
the financial management of all South
western roads should be under one head,
Chauncey NJ. Depew was interviewed in
Chicago the other day. He says:
ia is utterly impossible that corporations
should be formed TO control vast lines of
railroads in the West No matter what the
nature of the corporation, it would instantly
be called trust. The public would not
stand it. State legislatures and congress
would pass such laws as to ruin the security
holders. Such combinations can never come
TO pass. The Escanaba and Iron Mountain
and the Schlesinger mine deal was carried
through by a syndicate, all the members of
which are interested in the Northwestern.
That road will consequently carry all the
output OF the mines, and the deal was car
ried through for that purpose"

a WESTERN FAIRY TALE.
What Paper On the Spot Says About the
Reports.

Reports'
We had thought that the Western rail
road reporters were responsible for the
fairy tales that were told about railroad
following from the New York Herald of
Saturday morning suggests that they are
not entitled TO all the credit. It would ap-
pear that Western railroad officials also
know what is going on in the East, for one
Of them says in this positive manner:
Gould raised ten of the thirteen millions
necessary to pay the floating debt and Sc
cure control OF the Union Pacific from the
Equitable life insurance company. Then
he gobbled the road. But the dear public
was too suspicious to buy his load of stocks
and his fertile brain conceived the Western
traffic scheme. II was systematically
doomed as the savior of Western roads,
and in the momentary confidence inspired ne
unloaded 100000 coo in a lump on the
Equitable and enough besides to pay the
Union Pacific floating debt Then he began
Immediately diverting former Union Pacific
traffic TO his Missouri Pacific, he having $50
in the latter TO 81 in the former
We admit that there is some color for
this story. Mr.. Gould has a great many
friends n the board of directors of the
Equitable assurance society. The Mercan-
tile trust company, which IS closely allied
to the Equitable. is Mr.. Gould'S pet trust
raj agent in such transaction. But in the
first place. it was not necessary to raise
sl3, 600, 900 to take up the floating debt of
the Union Pacific. There was considera-
bic amount required for equipment, but the
pressing necessities of the company could
have been met with a very much smaller
amount. But it will be observed that Mr.
Gould not only "unloaded &c., 900 in q
lump on the Equitable but enough to pay
besides the Union Pacific floating debit
1t was not until then that he began to divert
Union Pacific traffic to the Missouri Pacific
This we all know that he has done, and
that the Union Pacific and the Northwest
ern have suffered since the change
of management and the diversion Of freight
to the Missouri Pacific. But we may be
permitted to show some surprise at the
magnitude OF these figures, and modestly to
doubt that President Hyde, who is the Gus
todian of many millions of money for the
benefit of the widows and orphans of in
sured heads of families, has secured the
agreement of his executive committee to
loan of twenty odd millions upon TO better
security than that which was pledged for
the floating debt of the Union Pacific.

Wizard Has Prevaricated.
A Chicago dispatch says: The attention
of President r. r. Gable of the Rock Island
was called this afternoon to what purportS
10 be an interview with Jay Gould tele-
graphed from Denver. That part Of the in
terview in which Mr. Gable was most in
terested was the one in which Mr.. Gould
was quoted as saying: 81 wish emphati-
cally TO deny that l am seeking to disrupt
the Western traffic association. While do
not deny that such thing has entered my
mind more than once, still it would not be
policy for me TO do so. Don't think for u
moment that l am afraid to attempt such u
thing. I dare do anything. The Santa Fe
and Rock Island are often pointed out TO me
as great rivals. 1t IS bosh. for reasons
which Mr.. Marvel and Mr.. Gable can both
explain. Neither one of these roads can
make move without consulting me-
\ perceptible sheer curled the lip Of Pres
ident Gable when he read this portion of
Mr.. Gould's alleged statement. He said
the announcement that Gould had consid-
cred the proposition to disrupt the Western
traffic association would surprise nobody in
the railroad world. Neither would any one
question the reason which he assigned for
refraining from it-that is, that it would
not be policy.

Denison Boiler Makers Strike.
Special to the Gazette,

special " tuc GaLtltc-
DEN1soS, Ten, April GA walk-out
occurred at the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas shops among the boiler makers, this
morning, and every boiler maker in the
shops is now awaiting developments, The
cause Of the strike was the discharge of a
union man for refusing TO work last night
without helper be furnished him. He re-
ported this morning, when he was promptly
discharged by Master Mechanic McElvaney.
This was the signal for general walk-out
and every man in that department threw
down his tools. The men say all they want
is justice and will not return to work until
it is done them. Master Mechanic Noel
vaney says that no Inconvenience will be
experienced by the road and that other
men can be readily put in their places. The
they will be returned to work as soon
as the matter IS brought before Gen
eral Master Mechanic O'Herrin.
