They Were Stopped at Trinidad. But

New YORK. July "A passenger
who arrived on the steamship Finance
reports a large seizure Of arms on the
Island of trinidad. The Venezuelan
consul in Trinidad, a British island in
the West Indies, learned that the cargo
of British steamer which had ar
rived from England was for Venez-
uelan insurgents. He immediately
notified the island government, and an
investigation revealed 1850 rifles with
ammunition for q considerable force.
The Venezuelan consul Immediately
demanded that the arms be condemned
as contraband. This the Trinidad Off
cials would not do without further in
quiry. After questioning the master
of the steamer and the other people
who claimed ownership, it was ascer-
tanned that the arms were for the in
surgents in Cuba. The master declared,
however, that his cargo must net be
molested as it was in transit. He said
he had mo intention of landing the
munitions i'll Trinidad, and on this
statement he was allowed to retain the
cargo. It is intimated that the arms
were intended for the expedition led by
the sea-going tug George W. Childs,
and that subsequently they were trans-
ferred to her.

Small Shipper.

WARRINGTON, July 3.-The 15 rail
way nagnates who accompanied j.
Pierpmt Morgan on his yachting ex
| pedition from Long Island Sound die
something more than revive the "gen'
tleme1's agreement" for the restora-
| ton ofeast and westbound rates over
the trunk lines. More important even
| than the resolution they adopted pledg-
| ing themselves as executive officers oi
the leading railroad systems in. the
United States to maintain schedule
rates, was the informal discussion that
was had looking to the enactment OF
railrohd pooling bill by the Fifty
+ fourth congress. The great comblna-
tions bf capital interested in railroad
securities realize more and more clearly
each ducceeding day the vital imports
ance Of have law which will prevent
the cutting and slashing OF rates.
Te pooling bill, which failed last
wintef by scratch would have saved
the railroads tens of millions of dollars
during the year 1895. The re-enacted
gentle mems agreement entered into ON
j. Pi@pont Morgan's yacht will, OF
course, cut down the loss, but such a
compdct lacks the binding force of a
statute and fails to impress investors
as being permanent Hence the desire
Of the magnates to impress congress
into their service to protect them from
themselves and from the temptation to
grant rebates to heavy shippers.
VIII Have Different Plan.
They propose to go about this bust
ness next winter on different plan
from that carried out in the Fifty-third
congress. They will not ask for the
enactlnens Of pooling bill as meas
ure intended to benefit the railroads,
but will work the wires to secure
the desired legislation as scheme
designed to protect the small shipper
and the general public against the dis
ordinations now enjoyed by the heavy
shippers. AS matters now stand, the
firm or establishment that can ship 10
cars, 100 cars, or 300 cars a day has
distinct advantage over the man who
only ships one carload or part of car
load day. The heavy shipper secures
substantial rebates from nearly every
road in the country, and the greater
the volume of business, the greater the
rebate he exacts from the transporta-
tion companies which are given the
privilege of doing his hauling. Congress
will be asked to correct this evil.
The party that was on board Mr..
Morgan IS yacht represented about one
third of the entire railroad capitaliza-
tion of the United States, and they are
in position to command the situation.

Cuban revolution, he said:

parts Of the province of St. Jago de
