believed, will persist until success crowns
their efforts and until they become but
part OF grand, irresistible national de-
mand for ship protection.
There are some who seem to think that
the new era will usher in nothing but steel
and steam This Is quite mistake. Wood
and sail are still available in even these
modern times, both for safety and profit
Because the present sovereign of the seas
discriminates against wood and sail it
does not follow that her ltlsty rival-our-
sclres-shall also discriminate against our
own.
The thoughts of the American people,
only from association. however. turn to
the great steel transatlantic steamships,
and picture a revived shipping as but an
augmentation OF such vessels. The oppo-
site. however. will be the case. Freight
vessels are the craft that give strength to
merchant marine. just like the pr.vates
give strength to armies. And the freight

The Gibson Tahleanx.

These living pictures. which will be pre-
scented at Ranke's hall next Thursday
evening, Will be revelation to all those
interested In seeing the creations of the
pencil artist vivified on the stage by
beauty and grace. Every effort is being
made to present the tableaux to the pub
nc in the most artistic way, and the fact
alone that the prominent ladies' of st,
marx s church are at the head of the en-
tertalnment guarantees a most complete
success in every sense OF the word The

Claimed by the theater-going public that
living pictures are uninteresting and lack
the faculty OF arousng the enthusiasm of
an audience. Different ii is, however, with
Inc Giosonian pictures; they are most life
Ike, perfect representations of lifs's senti-
ments, hopes and encouragements, and
Tor that reason will certainly be most in
teresting also for the younger people.
The tableaux Will follow each other with

Railroad Earnings for 1905.

The first quarter OF 1896 has proved con-
siderably more favorable to the railways
as a whole than the same period of 1885.
Many roads have shown large gains In
gross earnings, and most of these still
larger gains In net: and while. on the other
hand. some have earned less even than
they did year ago. the number OF these
IS small, and the losses were generally
light. The Railway Age publishes a table
showing the gross earnings OF i23 roads in
the United States, Canada and Mexico. ag-
gregating &C. 80 miles. for the three months
ended March 81. OF these roads 90 show
gains compared with last year, aggregar-
ing 0,t5So 600. and while 81 failed to earn
as much as last year the decreases aggre-
gated only ss06000. The net gain for all the
roads named amounts 10 sis per cent. De

or nearly 10 per cent over last year: and
assuming the same general result for tho
rest OF our railways the earnings OF the
past quarter were about S2o.0oo, 900 more
than in the same period a year ago
on The whole. the Age thinks that, con-

RUMOR NOT CONFIRMED.
Canadian Pacific win still Take Seat
tie Freight shipments.

Some days ago a rumor gained currency
throughout the city that deal had virtu-
ally been closed between the Great North
ern and the Canadian Pacific railroads by
which each was to withdraw from the
others freight territory. This meant that
the Canadian line was to withdraw from
Seattle, and the Great Northern from Van
couver. The rumor did not appear to
spring up out Of the ground. 1t reached
the Canadian Pacific offices in this city
from many sources and from people who
had been led 10 believe IL on apparently
good authority.
But II was killed yesterday by telegram
from the general traffic manager of the
Canadian Pacific. who had been asked for
an authentic statement concerning the
matter. and who replied that there was not
a word of truth in the report. and that the
Canadian Pacific was here to stay.
