Prospective Passenger War.

CHICAGO. April 4.-Unless the Western
roads speedily adjust the matter they are
likely to have all sorts of trouble over the
question of first-class and second-class
sleepers. The Great Western. as already
published, has announced that it will make
second-class tickets good in first-class Sleep
ers, and the other roads are not looking on
the prospect with any amount of favor.
Many of them claim that they will not
break down the dividing line between the
first-class and second-class tickets, but If
the Great Western adheres to its declaration
they will grant the passengers over their
lines some concessions that will equaIize
matters with the Great Western This
means, in all probability. that they will re-
duce rates between Chicago and Kansas
City. There. is certain to be a hard fight
among the lines of the Western Passenger
Association before this is done, as the ma
jority Of the lines in that organization are
at the present time strongly inclined to-
ward conservatism. However, they will not
sit on one side and see the Great Western
take any traffic from them to which thew
consider that they are justly entitled.

Talk of Glass Factories Closing.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
EIIWOOD, Ind, April 4.-Window glass
workers are somewhat uneasy because of
current reports that the Western association
will close down all the plants for the sum-
mer between now and May /, because of ex-
cess stock on hand and dull market for the
product. Repeated meetings of the manufac-
turers have no doubt given rise to these ru-
mors, the truth or falsity of which cannot
be ascertaned as manufacturers are silent.
Should it be so, the workers will thus lose
four months work this fire and will be left
in bad shape. When the next wage scale
is arranged they will arrange it so that man
ufacturers cannot break their contracts with
the workers by shutting down the plants in
midwinter, and an increase of 15 per cent. in
wages will be demanded.

morrow will say: The Baltimore &
Ohio Northwestern railroad to Chicago has
for the present been dropped. At least moth
ing will be done towards affecting this big
combination until both roads are out of the
courts. Charles o. Scull, general passenger
agent of the Baltimore & Ohio is authority
for the statement that the Northwest COM
bination will not be pushed. He says the
Baltimore e. Ohio Southwestern will not be
abandoned, as this would abolish the route
to st. Louis. Both routes will be held by the
company. Mr.. Soul thinks the Baltimore &
Ohio will soon be out OF the hands of the
receiver as the condition of the business
of the road indicates such prosperity that
it will shortly be released. The party of Bal

WV. DlMOND'S

Much of the solid silver ware
used in Honolulu is bought in
San Francisco by people visiting
there because it is cheaper.
Twenty-Five per cent duty is
a great deal too much to pay
and it tempts people to make
purchases while they are where
they may buy it cheaper. There
is nothing criminal in the tran
saction, just bit of practical
economy. There would have
been no necessity for these buy
ers to go abroad, if dealers were
willing to divide with their Gus
toners. The profit is large
enougllt on solid ware to cut off
the twenty-five per cent, and
sell it at a margin satisfactory
to every one. People do not
buy when they are abroad be-
cause they can get better goods,
but because they can get it
cheaper.
The selections made by us
are from three of the largest
factories in the States. We buy
for cash and get the articles
cheap and will sell them at TWEEN
ty-five per cent. or exactly the
same as is charged in San Fran
cisco. We have child's sets at
1918 and full tea sets for a great
deal more; the quality has never
been surpassed in this country
and the prices have never been
equalled.
