FREIGHT TRAFFIC OF WEEK
Slight Decrease on Indianapolis Lines
but an Increase Reported at Chicago.
Western Traffic Association strengthened by
the Tra~nscontinental Becoming Part Of
It-Alleged Discrimination.

The train records for the week ending
Jan. "a show o considerable decrease in
movement of loaded cars, and empty cars
are accomplishing on side-tracks. This is
not o surprise to freight men, the surprise
rather being that the falling off in business
did not come some weeks earlier. East
bound the shipments of live stock and ex-
port freights average well with that of sew
eral weeks past. but in shipments of grain
and cotton q decrease Is shown. and should
esst-bound business be light for several
weeks to come it will not be unexpected.
West-bound the tonnage is heavier than
was looked for in January, exceeding that
of the same month of 1890. The west-b0und
shipments are made up largely of dry goods
and heavy groceries for the West n
Southwest, and transcontinental line
freights, which consist largely of furniture
and machinery. The transcOntinental
lines are now bringing in a good deal of
fruit and other California products, n
the transcontinental business is seldom
so near equal In tonnage In both directions
as at the present time. Through business
with the north-and-south lines continues
light, while their local traffic rather ex-
ceeds expectations. For many years there
has not been a winter in which so much
timber in the rough has been handled in
this section. the weather having been such
as to admit of bringing lumber, slaves,
heading. etc., to the railway lines in un-
usually large quantities. As o rule the
freight men are quite well satisfied with
what the roads are doing. and feel that they
will be able to hold freight earnings up to
those of the corresponding weeks In 1890
through the winter months. One notice
able feature about business at the present
time is the evenness IN freights moving In
both directions, last week there being but
ninety-tve more loaded cars forwarded
than were received. Below is given the
number of loaded cars received and for
warded at Indianapolis in the week ending
ut midnight. Jan. "a, and comparisons with
the Number handled in the corresponding
weeks of three preceding years;

the company of his brother, and was
told by Col. Arnett that he was called
in Part One to attend to some cases

The Governments z ttitude.

WASHINGTON, May 11.-Secretary
Tracy this afternoon sent out word
from his Office that he had nothing to
say about the Gillian vessel 1tata or
the Charleston, and Commodore Ram
sey, the Chief of the Navigation Bureau,
said that he was not at liberty to say
anything whatever on the subject. The
official mind OF the department is
evidently In dread that possible I'M
guarded admission to a reporter might
result in the disclosure Of the plan Of
campaign, in which the entire available
naval force in the Pacific is arrayed
against one steamer, whose war-like
character has not yet been demon
strated, certainly the government
appears to be making extra
ordinary efforts to recapture
the Itata, for In addition to
cabling Admirals Brown and Mccain 10
head off the runaway before she reaches
Gillian waters, it is understood that
instructions have been sent to United
States Consular officers at all points be-
tween California and Chilli, where the
Itata could reach, to promptly advise
the naval officers of her movements II
she is sighted.

Formerly this land was on the low,

CHARLESTON'S CHASE
After the Itita-She is Going Fifteen Miles
nHour.


an Hour.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-The fact
no longer is concealed even in official
naval circles that the swift cruiser
Charleston is now off in hot chase after
the Chillan transport Itata, which left
San Diego last Friday while under ar
rest and carrying off the Deputy United
States Marshal,
lieved to be lying off Cape San Lucas,
the southermost point OF the land
In Lower California. The sea run to
Chilli is about 700 miles. The Itata be-
ing loaded, and although reputed as
fast craft, it is estimated that she cam
not exceed six to eight knots, and the
Charleston, which left San Pedro this
morning, IL is thought certain can over
take her in advance of the transport.
The Charleston left San Pedro shortly
after o'clock this morning, and was
sighted ten miles off Point Iona, hav-
ing made ninety mile run in six hours,
or at a fifteen-knot gait. There were
additional orders awaiting her at San
Diego, but she kept on her south
ward course without stopping. There
are no telegraph stations south OF
Enscanada, just south Of the boundary
line in Lower California, so that save
such meagre information as may be
brought north by one Of the Panama or
coast steamers, nothing further is likely
to be heard from her or the Itata until
the Charleston returns, or is heard from
at some Of the Mexican ports, which
cannot occur before Thursday or Friday

THr DIRECT TAN AND THE VIRGINIA
DEBT.

We are now awaiting the decision OF
the Department Of Justice as to wheth-
or West Virginia is to get her share Of
the direct tax refund or not, and wheth-
or or not the United States Government
can make itself a preferred creditor and
hold it as part payment OF West
Virginia'S share Of the Virginia debt to
the United States
The Government holds $500 Of
Virginia 6 per cent. bonds, purchased
before the war, and before West Vir-
ginia was sliced off of the mother State.
Virginia's share Of the direct tax refund
can not be withheld because the tax was
collected directly from the people, aud
consequently cannot be held for pay
ment Of any debts Of the State, but
must be paid back to the people them
selves. from whom 1t was collected. In
the ease OF West Virginia, however, the
payment must be made to the State it.
self. The question is, whether or not
the United States can hold this $751;,

tor against West Virginis'S share Of
Virginia's debt II the Department of
Justice decides that the Government
may do this thing, it would, Of course,

The Times" Don't Know Everything.

New YORK, May 1.-THE Times says:
Those who know the swift little Itata,
whose career is thought to be threat
ened by the action of certain {. 5. cruis-
ers, are of the opinion that the vessel is
as safe now as she was in the harbor at
Valparaiso. The swiflest cruiser in the
United States navy could not catch her
now, that she has so long lead. She
has a speed Of Is knots, day In and day
out. Seventeen knots is not too much
for her. She is 200 feet long, with 1000
tonnage. To send the Omaha in chase
of such craft would be like sending a
tortoise after a reindeer. II the Itata
is caught, it will be by the San Francis
co or Pensacola heading her off, but
even then she can take advantage Of
neutral water as her officers are Eng
lishmen, and naturally will hug the
shores where they are not far from neu-
trial waters.
