The New Press Agreement.

When the executive officers of the
western lines met in st. Louis to agree
upon pass agreement for 1896, The
Herald stated that settlement would
be made practically on lines now gov
perning, and it has so done.
OF course, with the beginning of the
new year, all the roads will close down
tight on the issuance of passes-same
old thing as in the past But after the
first sixty days go changing down the
aisles of time, they will all loosen up
again-same old thing as in the past.
Taken all in all, anyone acquainted
with railway methods will CLEAN that
the new agreement is in some in
stances less binding than the old, in
asmUch as the roads are largely per-
Ribtad to issue passes first and make
teport of such issuance afterwards.
= Chairman Midgley has issued cir
cular showing in detail the amend
ments to the agreement of the present
year which were adopted. That por-
ton Of section which provides for
Independent action after notice, should
the local committee decline to author
ize passes, was amended so that the
present reading, which permits amy

progressixe RaiIronding.

The deadly car stove and the drip
ping oil lamp in railway coaches have
had their day, and are so near obsolete
that they are all but viewed as train
relics of barbarisn. Thus is the on
ward march of railway progress re-
corded-yesterday the old devices and
today the new, the while the pubic
mawels that the old were ever toler-
ated.
Steam heat from the engine, and
clear, steady light from Pintsch gas,
is now the order of the day, and aside
from giving better service in every
way, is most effective safeguard
again fire when accidents occur. Just
so long as trains are run, there Will be
now and then accidents that human
forethought and ingenuity can IN no
way avert-they will happen! But the
new system of heat and light does not
add to the horrors. as with the break
ing of the steam hose connecting the
engine and cars, there can be no fire
set to the splintered cars, and with
the breaking of the gas pipes and fix
lures. there is scattered no burning oll
upon the lucl1less passengers.
There are now but few roads in the
country not using this system, and
those that have not yet adopted 1t,
are DenQlllS every eIleISy pVNe1 Eo Ili@"I
end.
President E. B. Thomas, of the New
York. Lake Erie & Western, takes for
the Erie road the credit of being the
first in the United States to adopt the
Pntsch system.
Third VicA-President e Walter
Webb, of the New York Central, was
the enc to adopt it for that company,
when the other Vanderbilt lines fell
in line, and all of them are now using
it.
In many of the large cities the street
car lines have adopted it both for
cable and electric lines. 1t is found
that for the latter it nets good results
in the way of giving a clear and steady
light the stopping and starting of the
car cutting no figure in the fluctuation,
as is invariably the case when electric
light is used. Passengers can read by
Pintsch light. and in the large cities
the average business man wants to
utilize every moment of time to and
from his office, point not lost sight
of by those lines who catered to the
desires of a discerning public and thus
insured for themselves added patron
aae.
In this connection it must be said
that our Utah road, the Rio Grande
Western. must share in the credit of
early progression-it was early adopted
by them, anu at a. time when some of
the big eastern lines had not been
educated up to that standard.

HALF A MILLION.
Illinois Central Purchases the ST.
Louis BeIIeviIIe & Southern.


ST. LOUIS, Nov. 1O.-The Illinois
Central railroad is said to have pur-
chased the st. Louis, Belleville &
Southern railroad, which was sold on
Saturday, for use as terminal, which
the former road is badly in need of
here.
L NJ. Chipley, the financial agent
who made the purchase for $500, 900,
says he was acting for a syndicate of
New Workers. He refused to state
whether his syndicate was acting on
behalf of the Illinois Central, but said
the real purchasers would be known
within the next two weeks, when they
would meet and reorganize the road.
The st. Louis, Belleville e Southern
road extends from East ST. Louis to
Bellevllle, but has not been put into
full operation between the two places.
Its right of way extends through a
valuable coal region, which is part of
the railroad property conveyed
The Illinois Central for many years
past has operated it's passenger traffic
into st. Louis over the tracks of the
Vandalia from bingham and from
Vandalia, Ill. Its freight business has
been operated over the Vandalia and
the Cairo Short Line. In acquiring the
East st. Louis terminal of the Belle
vile & Southern, the Illinois Central
will be located near the Cairo Short
Line and Mobile & Ohio freight yards.

Fort worth REPRESENTATION.

Receiver J. Morgan Jones, of the
Fort Worth and Denver railroad, is
now in Denver in consultation with
G. NJ. Dodge, chairman of the. re-
organization committee. 1t is def
nitely known that reorganization will
take place within the next six weeks.
The road has been in the hands of the
receiver for twenty-six months, and
under the state law property can not
remain in the hands of the court for
period longer than three years. All
this begins to look as though that road
was in a fair way to prosper. Denver
people have always felt kindly to it,
and are much pleased over the turn
affairs are taking.

Santa Fe Makes the Time.

Santa Fe officials are now breathing
quite regularly since it is proven that
the time can be made right along on the
Chicago California flyer"
But on its first trip from Chicago it
looked blue for the run, as the Illinois
and Missouri engineers failed to turn
the trains over to the Kansas men on
time-it was one hour late. 1t was still
an hour late at Nickerson, Kansas, and
from that on some running was done.
From there to La Hunta the distance
is u miles, and all the way up hill on
delicate grade of two feet to the mile
there's where one whole hour was
made up-it was phenomenal. The
western engineers proved good stuff,
and every one of them pounded their
engines in a way that put the train in

An English Papers Comments on
His Inland Tonnage.

His Inland Tonnage.
Nearly every account of the COM
mercial tonnage of the different coun-
tries of the world places the United
States in a very invidious position,
BECAUSE such accounts ignore the
large tonnage that country possesses
in it's inland waters. Large passenger
steamers of 10 or 20 knots speed, and
of fully 5000 tons, have during the last
season been running in connection with
the railways on the great lakes. Cargo
vessels of like tonnage are being regu-
larly added to their fleets. Quite re-
Gently so-called revenue cutters, but
capable of almost instant conversion
into armed cruisers, have been placed
on these inland waters, and it is evil
dent, therefore, that if the United
States is destined to be no more in evil
dence in foreign waters in the future
than in the past, that disparity will be
reversed on the great lakes, where the
United States tonnage already exceeds
that of Canada by about a million
tons.
The immensely preponderating power
of the United States on the inland seas
of the American continent, and the eX-
tent of that power, may be cleaned
one point in the lakes in the eight or
nine months only during which there
was open navigation. exceeds the
amount of tonnage passing through the
Suez canal in a twelve month by no
fewer than five million tons. This ton
mage has carried during the last season
rhirty-four million bushels of wheat.
nine million barrels of flour. six and a
half million tons of iron ore, and two
and a half million tons of coal.
The most surprising circumstances
however, in connection with this lake
transport are the astonishingly low
rates at which the goods are carried.
and the fact that these rates pay. The
average rate for grain carried from
one end of the lakes to the other dur
Ing last season was equal to half a
crown per ton. whilst coal was con-
veyed at two shillings and penny per
ton. and for part of the distance at only
one shilling per ton. The remarkable
lavor-saving appliances employed on
the lakes in loading and dischargfns
alone admit of this. These rates are
not exceptional. and the proof that
they are remunerative is found in the
fact that American tonnage on the
lakes increased last season by 81 per
cent.--Liverpool Weekly Mercury.

Midland improvements.

The Colorado Midland, under Re
ceiver Ristin's able management, is
steadily forging to the front. The
road is doing an enormous freight
business, and passenger travel is on
the increase. A swift passenger run
vas recently put on between Denver
and Aspen, and was a winning card as
is proven by the patronage given in
return.
All the Midland passenger equipment
is now being put through the shops as
fast as possible and when the cars
come forth, are models of convenience
and beauty, keeping we'll in touch
with the specially prepared equipment
of big eastern lines. Added to this is
the fact that all the depots along the
line are being touched up and in the
painting of them are given a. standard

passes should be issued to act accord
ingly, upon giving written notice to
the chairman, was changed to read,
Giving ten days written notice to the
| chairman before doing so, which no
tice shall be promulgated. Section q,
which provides that a report of annual
or time passes issued should be for
warded daily to the chairman, was
amended to read, Each road shall
keep a record of transportation issued,
and shall make a report of the same
when asked by the chairman to do So"
A rule providing for the disposition
Of political, charitable and personal
applications was adopted, as follows:
Annual or time passes for political,
charitable or personal purposes may
be issued at the discretion of the diff
ferent companies; providing that the
district committees shall be previously
informed in cases wherein the control
Of shipments may possibly be in
volved''
That portion of section prohibiting
the issuance of transportation to bust
ness men or shippers as bondsmen or
directors of auxiliary companies was
amended by adding the following:
Should any company find itself I'M
able to conform strictly to the fore
going rule regarding bondsmen or di-
rectOrS it shall report its disabilities to
the district committee and confer with
interested lines, to the end that such
transportation shall be reduced to a
minimum"
In regard to land and immigration
agents, the following rule was adopt
ed: Land and immigration agents,
excepting those employed permanently
and carried regularly on monthly pay
ments of railroad companies, shall not
be given passes, but may be supplied
with book or ticket transportation by
roads employing them. The names of
parties to whom such transportation is
furnished shall be reported in the
same manner as formerly provided in
the case of the issuance of passes on
this account"
Rule 7, regarding the issuance Of
with the stock yards companies, was
amended by striking out the words,
whose time is wholly or mainly de-
voted to the interests of said yards
The restriction now reads, mo passes
shall be issued to such officers when
they are also shippers, nor should more
than two passes be issued to travelling
agents of any stock yards company"
In connection with rule IS, which
prohibits the issuance of transporta-
ton TO any officer, agent or employee
of any transoceanic steamship line
motion was adopted referring the mat
ter to the Chicago and st. Louis COM
mittees, together with the chairman,
after conference with the chairman of
the Western Passenger. association, to
formulate a rule to govern thereon.
Also that similar rule be recommend
