CHICAGO. March 13.-The board of
managers of the Joint Traffic assoeia-
ton has authorized the Grand Trunk
road to make the same elevator and
terminal charges on oats to Montreal
as have been made by the Canadian
Pacific. Roads have been notified that
the commissioner has been authorized
by the board to grant authority to
meet the cuts in round-tTip passenger
rates made by the outside roads. The
board further decided that no allow
ance exceeding $3.50 peFyscarload on
oats and 81 on other grain shall be
made for THANKSGIVING grain at Western
terminals.
Positive and authoritative denials are
given by the governing powers of the
Big Four and Chicago & Eastern Hi
nois roads to the report that a deal
has been consummated for the pur-
chase by the foTFner'sof the property Of
the latter The dea1iis no nearer being
closed now than 1T was four years ago,
when the Big Four made an inventory
of all Eastern Illinois property. The
result Of that inventory was to con-
vince NJ. E. Ingalls, president of the
Big Four, that the Eastern Illinois
property was worth considerably more
than he could afford ito pay for Chicago
terminals, to securef which was really
the only particular object he would
have had in view in buying the prop
erty. Since that time the Big Four
has been using the Eastern Illinois ter
minals here to "a limited extent, but
the purchase of the property is as far
off today as it has ever been.
A three-cornered fight, which has
been in progress among the New Eng
land, the Central Traffic and w estern
Passenger association roads since 1895,
is now in affair way of settlement. It
was over the division of through rates
on Knight Templar and Christian En-
deavor business to Boston that year.
The rule is that initial lines have the
right to fix the basis on which rates of
this kind shall be made. Central Traf-

NEW YORK'S KICK.
Basis of Complaint of Loss of Corn
Trade.

NEW YORK, March 13.-The produce
exchange is busily engaged in prepar-
ing its case against the Joint Traffic
association, which the interstate COM
merce commission is going to hear on
Monday. For a week Henry B. Her
bert, chairman of the grain committee.
and Assistant Superintendent Nc
knight have been in consultation with
counsel for theseXchange preparing sta
tistics' intended to show how the ex-
port trade of New York city has been
almost ruined by the discrimination
praeticed' agafnst 1T by the Joint Traffic
association. The net gain in the re-
ceipts of corn. last syear by Atlantic
seaports was Al. 40, 71S bushels. The fol-
lowing table shows what a small per-
Centage of that increase New York got
as compared with other cities: New
York, 3,417,972 gain in bushels; Boston,
S61 1898 gain; Philadelphia, 6,615. 305; Bal
timore, 15,S69,831; Norfolk, 9,345, 1922;
Newport News, $50, 29O; total, Al, ITO, 718
bushels.
The produce exchange will show that
the increased exports of corn last year
at five seaports were 80, 687, 725 bushels.
while New York exports decreased $685.
627 bushels, as the following table will
explain: .s. .

Another table will show loss to
New York of wheat exports of 657, 730
bushels; to Norfolk, 1865, 765; to Newport
News, 1.16S,073, against gains by Bos-
ton, Philadelphia. and Baltimore of r.
594, 419 bushels. Still other statistics to
be submitted show that while New
York in 1873 exported 67.98 per cent Of
the entire corn crop which went abroad
from the Atlantic -seaboard, in 1896 it
exported but 29l8 per cent. AT the
same time BOston'sT exports increased
in the same period from OLA per cent to
1913 per cent, Baltimore from % 81 per
cent to 29.61 per cent, and Norfolk from
80 per cent to 14-46. B
The hearing next Monday promises
to be one of the most important in the
history of the interstate commerce
commission, and the produce exchange
promises to bring forward testimony
of a sensational character 1t is said
that the reasons why the Vanderbilts
have diverted the corn traffic from
New York over the New York Central
to Norfolk and Newport News over
their Chesapeake & Ohio route will
make mighty interesting reading.

wrung from the banks or bankers by pro-
cesses that are not likely to be repeated.
Since the instruction began money has
been raised in Cuba by devices in the way
of forced loans that even the most firmly
intrenched despots have seldom dared to re-
sort to. Weyler issued $40, 000 600 in paper
money under the threat that whoever re-
fused to take it should be peremptorily locked
up and kept in prison.
Forcing the people to take green goods
in payment for solid values can be made
to go at prison doors and at the point of the
bayonet, but the limit must finally be reached.
Spain has gone ashore financially and it is
most unlikely that she can ever again score
a popular outburst or pad Cuban credit
with any more worthless paper.
No wonder her rulers, who understand the
desperate financial straits in which the king
dom finds itself, are adopting a conciliatory
course.
They have no relish for more war-par-
ucularly war with the United States What
could that mean to Spain but financial ruin
and national humiliation?

Named the POpulist Party.

1t was David Overmyer of Topeka Kan,
who christened the Popuist party. It was
soon after the Peoples party was organized,
and the question of a and taking name
was being discussed why not call your
party PopuIist?' asked Overmyer of a little
group of reformers at Topeka. 1.-The name
is new and l believe would express what
you want" The idea struck a Populist
editor there, and he wrote an editorial in
dorsing It. 1t soon became popular and the
next national convention adopted II. The
word populist IS not in the dictionaries, ex-
cept, perhaps. the latest printed.

CUSTOMS RECEIPTS.
Over a Million Dollars for the Day

NEW YORK, March 13.-The total
payment on account of duties at the
customs house today amounted to
81, ass, 693, of which $1.270,696 was paid
on goods Withdrawn from bond. max
ing one Of the largest totals in the his
tory of the custom house. Payments
on sugar alone were said to have
amounted to several hundred thousand
dollars. This anxiety on the part of
the refiners was caused by the fears
that the change from an ad valorem
TO a specific duty would largely in
crease the rate of duty on the sugar at
present held in bonded warehouses.

Its Winter Has Not Been an

CHICAGO. March 13.-Vice President
Bond, of the Milwaukee & ST. Paul
road, said today that the st. Paul is in
as good condition as it has ever been
and is equal to that of any other
Western road. The company has had a
bad winter, caused by interruption Of
traffic. While the winter has been
troublesome to the St. Paul road, it
does not necessarily follow that it has
been very expensive, provided the thaw
comes in such a way as to obviate Sc
rious floods and the consequent dam
age.
Earnings Of the Chicago & Northern
Pacific for the month of January were
$S4,S96, against $67,755 for the same
month last year; increase $17,141. Net
earnings for the month were $69695,
against $43,355 last year; increase $685.

IDLE FOR SEVEN YEARS.
Omaha Compelled to Get Out Its
Rotary at Last.


The officials of the Omaha road are
kicking against fate It is all owing
to the quantity of snow which has
fallen the past week. Friday the
South Dakota and Southern Minnesota
divisions Of the system were opened
after a great deal Of difficulty, and
there was consequent enjoyment. The
officials were proud of the fact thai
ordinary snow plOws had been suff1-
cient for years to keep all the lines
open. Seven years ago the road pur-
chased a new rotary snow pillow at q
large price, and the pillow was stored
in the rOundhouse to await the COM
ing storms. For seven years the pillow
has stood idle, but. yesterday after
noon, it was oiled up and brought out
for use the first time. The pillow will
be sent out on the Huron branch and
the branch to Sioux Falls, where the
drifts were reported as being rapidly
piling up. The snow which started
yesterday afternoon threatens to cause
a great deal of trouble on all the lines
running out of st. Paul.

sic worth and natural picturesque adj
vautages of that beautiful lookout
point on the mountain overlooking
Frederick and Middletown valleys,

has moved several OF our enterprising
citizens to form stock conn any for
that purpose.
The general plans propose hotel to
cost anywhere from SIS, 900 to $50, 900,
the Identifying of the adjacent prop
erty, owned by the Braddock Heights
Company, and in every way to make
the place fitting aud desirable for sum-
mer boarders, of whom Frederick Coun-
ty always gets large number. Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, Washington, Ha-
9erstown and other places are repre-
sented by summerers at the various
boarding houses, and yet the field is
large and uncultivated one. With a
hotel on or near Braddock Heights I'M
der proper management, attractive
grounds and other obnveniences usual
ly found at tirst-class places, there is
no reason why the new venture should
not be abundantly successful. Freder-
