As distributing point Pittsburg occupies
q position second to no city in the United
States. The total tonnage from and to it
amount to So, As, Dol tons in 1890. or this
amount the railroads carried "a, .3l6 tons
and ,S04, Ss5 tons was moved by river. In
addition to these figures the local tonnage
was 49, l24. $50 tons, making in round numbers
IOOO.O carloads CT freight during the year,
or an average of 200 cars daily. In other
words 1000 loaded freight cars enter and
1000 loaded cars depart daily, equal to 10000
tons received and 10000 tons distributed
daily to all points from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.
or the pig iron, rolled iron, crude steel and
steel rails, manufactured in the United
States, Pennsylvania contributed lO,95O. l0S
out OF q total of 200l3, 720 tons. Out of this
total Pittsburg produced over one-third of
the output OF Pennsylvania, or one-f1fth OF
the entire production of the United States.
The capital invested in iron and steel was
$50 S45, 600. or over one-fourth OF the entire
capital represented in the two cities. The
number of persons employed was 3S, 935. pay

vast array OF figures be ore US. the question
naturally occurs: Are our interests in the
way of the proper adj justment of freights, as
compared to other localities, properly looked
after by the shippers and secondarlly by
those of the railway men who have these
matters to attend toe
So far as the shippers are concerned, our
experience shows q woeful lack of self
interest on their part. Other cities, such as
we come into competition with almost daily
in the markets, are able to obtain advant-
ages such as are not even hoped for hitherto
10y US. Orders which we bid upon leave US,
and new fields for others are opened, in
which our best efforts fail to obtain a mar

An Argument for Freight Bureau.
A careful investigation of the matter
shows a disposition on the part Of the manu-
facturer and shipper at competing points to
look after their interests by harmony OF ac-
tion, and by paying competent man to
look after their interests. Some such ac-
tion is imperative, and we cannot too
strongly recommend the advisability of the
Pittsburg shipper doing likewise, and at
once.
comparison of the tariffs prepared by
the railway men shows concerted action on
their part, and we now come to some few of
the ".acts aud figures" gathered from this
source. The map of the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn of railroads shows Pittsburg to be half
way between New York and Chicago. Of the
total distance Ass miles to New York and

PUR|TYOF WHISTLES

When whiskies are prescribed or
used they should be strictly pure in
every particular. They should be
aged naturally, not by artificial pro-
cess. Their bouquet should be the
result OF natural influences, and not
of favoring essences; their action
should be exact, gently stimulating
and tonic, and not variable and ex-
citing. All whiskies offered by us
are the purest that can be obtained.
Our own brand, Old Export, is
now a pronounced favorite where

Mr. POwderly Addresses Them on the Sub
ject of Union.
Representatives Of the different railways met
In Wlkesbarre in convention Yesterday The
following orders were represented: Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers, Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen, the Swithers Mutual As
ISOLATION, Order Of Railway Telegraphers and
the Ladies' Auxiliary. Special trains were run
on all railroads. Fully 5000 strangers were in
town, but they were nearly all delegations. The
largest delegations we're present from New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The west
was poorly represented
The morning session was secret and held in
the armory. The object Of the convention was
stated, namely, to discuss the advisability of
consolidating all the orders under one head. II
IL said that the scheme was fayorably received
by all and will be put into effect before long.
The engineers in the western states are almost O
unit for consolidation. There is some opposi-
ton among the engineers in the east, but this
opposition, it is said, will be overcome without
difficulty. The session was harmonious.
Addresses were made by c. W. Wilson of
Phillipsburg, N. j., grand chairman of tie
grievance committee of the brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen on the Reading system;
&. II. Wilkens OF Chicago, assistant grand chair
man OF the Railroad Conductors Association;
A. b. McMahon OF Buffalo. chairman OF the
Order of Railway Telegraphers.
In the afternoon a public meeting was held,
at which 6,000 people were present Master
Workman Powderiy delivered a twenty minutes
speech. He said it was the duty Of railroaders
to unite under one head. In unity there was
strength. The railroads unite and pool their
interests. They do it for their own protection.
Their employees ought to have the same privi-
lege. II workingmen don't protect themselves
nobody else will. Powderly denounced the
Pinkerton men and Carnegie. He was loudly
applauded.
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we regard the interference Of
the Pinkertons in labor troubles as unpatriotic
and un-AWerican. We have confidence in the
power of y law to keep the peace. and there
fore demand the abolition by law Of the prac-
tice OF throwing standing armies of irresponsi-
BILE men around our mills and factories and upon
our railroads in times of labor disputes.

Connecticut Republicans irving to Count Out
the Democrats Elected Tuesday.
New HAVEN. Conn, Nov. 10.-The Union,
in an extra edition tonight. publishes the
following:
''The Democratic State committee is In
possession of evidence tending to show
that one OF the Republican managers is en-
gagged in conspiracy to again count out
Democrats who were elected TO state Offices
Tuesday. Misleading and illegal forms of
returns, to be used under the requirements
OF the constitution, were sent out from an
tanned several traps to catch the unwary
moderators upon the subject of rejected
votes.
BY counting all of these rejected votes
as If they were votes cast against Judge
Morris and his ass ociates, the conspirators
hope to wipe out the large majority received
by the Democratic candidates.
1t is known that several hundred votes,
many of them for Judge Morris, were
thrown out for illegality. On this basis
Republican Chairman Conton has been
claiming today that Judge Norris lacks
400 of majority.
General Merwin, Republican candidate
for governor and Chairman Benton of the
Republican state committee, when inter
viewed tonight said they did not know
officially whether Morris had majority or
not, and would not until the official count
was announced. AS to the allegation that
the Republican party was attempting to
steal the state offices, Benton declared the
story absurd in the extreme

California for CLEVELAND.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1O.-Suflcient re-
turns are received from California to show
that Cleveland has carried the state by at
least 600 plurality. Returns are in from
nearly three-Quarters OF the precincts in
the state, including practically all of San
Francisco. and those give Cleveland plu-
rality of $500. Nineteen counties from
which less than half the returns are re-
ceived gave Cleveland majority of nearly
500 in 1888. The chairman of the Demo
cratic state committee claims that Cleve-
lands plurality will be 4, 200 and the Re-
publican committee admits that the st ate
has gone for Cleveland. The congressional
contest is still doubtful. Three Democrats
and one fusionist Democrat and one Popu-

licEns. The Republicans admit that the
Democrats will have majority ST one or

SECRETARY FosTER's VIEW.
He Still Does Not Know What He Is Talking

He Still Does Not Know What He Is Talking
About.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 10.-Secretary
Charles Foster said this afternoon there
we're three classes OF people who voted the
Democratic ticket-one set of manufac-
turers who were tired Of labor troubles
and came to the conclusion that free trade
was better for them because it would re-
duce wages and thus compensate them for
a reduction of the tariff. Another class
concluded the Mckinley bill was too high.
don't know what effect those people had
but it was an excuse for such people as
McVeagh and Gresham to turn from it,
The third class was cheap labor, that class
who thought the profits made by manufac-
turers were not fairly distributed. The
school question affected Illinois and Wis
consin. in fact the Lutheran church made
itself felt in the west. When | got to Ohio
discovered trouble among the laboring
men. They were talking about Homestead
and about Carnegie being too rich while
they were poor. This is a strange result
il view of the prosperous condition of the
country. Every interest is in perhaps the
most prosperous condition ever known.
Labor never so much in demand; cost of
living never so cheap; failures never SO
few-yet In view of this prosperity the
people voted for q change, apparently not
knowing when they were well off.
