The principal ground upon which the petit

DEALING IN FUTURES.
Mr.. Hatch Gives Hearings to Sellers of
Fictitious Cotton.

WASHINGTON. March 5.-The leading
authorities on the cotton trade were before
the House committee on agriculture to-day
for the first of a series of hearings on Mr.
Hatchs anticipation bill. 1t brought out
some sharp controversy, during which Rep
resentative Hatch, the author of the bill
Joined issue with President ]. o. Bloss, of
the New York Cotton Exchange, and Pres
ident ]. ". Labouisse. of the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange, as to the general prac-
tice OF selling cotton with the distinct I'M
Outstanding that ii was to be a speculation
with no actual delivery. Mr.. Hatch said
that this practice was carried on constantly
In Chicago, and he had evidence of unques-
tionable character as to the fact. Both of
the heads of the cotton exchanges contro-
verted this.
In the course of the discussion with Mr.
Bloss, Mr. Hatch asked how many bales
of cotton the New York Exchange had on
hand from day to day.
about 275.OG0 bales said Mr.. Bloss.
What are your average daily transac-
tions?"
less"
Then" said Mr. Hatch, your daily
transactions are more than the cotton you
have hand?'
Mr. Bloss assented. and then proceeded
to show that speculative markets had u
tendency to help prices. The higher the
market the larger the business. Mr.. BlosS
added that Mr.. Hatch had been misin-
formed or misled as 10 the alleged prac-
tice of making future contracts not to de-
liver.
Mr.. Hatch-Do 1 understand you to say
that all the trades made on the Board of
Trade in Chicago in any of the commodities
named in the bill are always terminated
by an actual delivery of the property?
Mr. Bloss-I say the contract calls for il.
Mr.. Hatch-You misunderstood my state
ment. That is exactly what L say. but there
is not one out of thousand ever termi-
mated in actual delivery and the general
understanding is that they will be settled
without that. If, according to your state
ment the rules of the Board of Trade re-
quire an actual delivery on every contract
OF that kind which is made, why is ii not
enforced?
Mr. BlOss-Because il suits both parties
to the transaction, either directly or indi-
rectly, to make other disposition of it.

East-Bound Rates Shaky.

A speck of war is arising concerning
east-bound passenger rates. Several of the
standard lines declared yesterday that if
the weaker lines did cease paying such
large commissions on New York business
they would put in effect an IS rate between
Chicago and New York. 1t is charged that
at least one OF the small lines is selling
tickets over the counter in Chicago for IS

why Earnings Are Small.

The business of Indianapolis roads has
been heavier than that of roads in most sec
tons of the country. In the month of Feb
ruary there were received and forwarded
at Indianapolis a total Of 72,OS4 cars, of
which number 56.202 were loaded; in Feb
ruary, 1898, there were handled at this
point 1883 loaded cars, or 16.OS more than
in February this year. Going back TO 1892
the exhibit is even much more unfavorable,
as in February. 1892, there were received
and forwarded at Indianapolis S0,645 loaded
cars, or 2443, more than in February this
year. Ii need not be surprise that with
such a decrease in traffic freight earnings
are so badly off, even were rates as good
in February this year as in 1893 and 1892.
The Pennsylvania Company handled at it's
city freight depots in February S0,346 94S
pounds OF freight; in February, 1888 a.

WAR CERTAIN NOW
The AtchisOn to Leave the West
ern Passenger Association.
It's Request for Boycott Against the
Southern Pacific Road Denied
Rates to Be Slashed.

Chairman Caldwell last night handed
down his decision denying the request of
the Atchison road for a boycott against
the Southern Pacific on passenger business.
After going over at length the causes of
the dispute, which have been published,
the chairman says that the Atchson is en-
titled to relief under the association
agreement, because the Southern Pacific
has not been guilty Of such action as could
render il subject to punishment under the
association rules, if 1t were an as
ISOLATION line. 1t being out
side line, the chairman argues, that
makes no difference whatever. The Atchi-
son would be entitled to no redress against
1t if it were in the association. This will
drive the Atchison from the Western Pas
senger Association, and Assistant Traffic
Manager Byrne will this morning send
formal notice that the Atchison road will
withdraw. II will then. unless the matter
is settled by arbitration. promptly
proceed to make it's fight on California rates
from Chicago instead of the Missouri riv-
er. and the prospect for some low rates to
California is very promising. The Atchison
once out of the association. will remain out
until the Union Pacific agrees to become a
member. Chairman Caldwell gave his de-
cision reluctantly. He would greatly have
preferred to have awaited the outcome of
the efforts at arbitration. Mr.. Byrne. how
ever, pressed him hard for the decision,
repeating that it must come at once or
not at all, as far as the Atchison'S MEM
bership in the association is concerned
There is a strong likelihood that libel suits
will be instituted by the receivers of the
AtchiSon road against Chairman Mldgley,
of the Western Passenger Association and
the general managers of several lines, who
have passed resolutions declaring that the
receivers and high officials of the road
have not been protecting it's interests as
officers of the court should do, because
they did not uphold the passenger agree
ment. Vice President Robinson and the
passenger and traffic managers of the Atch-
isOn have gone to confer with the receivers
Of the road, now in New York. about the
proposed suits, and about Withdrawing from
all the Western associations on account of
what they consider the insult offered the
officials of the Atchison system Mr.. Mldg-
ley declares that ii will make very little
difference if the Atchison did withdraw
from the Western Freight Association, and
declares himself undaunted by the prospect
of libel suits. The resolutions condemning
the Atchison were passed when 1t was
known by the meeting which passed them
that two other roads represented in the
meeting were and had been issuing passes
to influence business, which was direct
violation of the proposed pass agreement.
