is IN A DANGEROUS POSITION
AT THE MOUTH OF THE
URUGUAY RIVER.
She Is One Of Uncle Sans Old
Fashion Defenders And Has
Been Condemned Once As
Useless, But Was Still
Kept In Commission,

New York, March 30.-The Herald's
correspondent in Monteyidio, Uruguay,
telegraphs that the United States cruz
ser ran aground yesterday at Port
Nueva Palmira, at the mouth of the
Uruguay river. Tugs are at work at
tempting to pull off the cruiser. She
is in a dangerous position.
The Yantic is a fourth class old
fashioned wooden single screw cor
vett, of 40 tons displacement and
about 500 horse power.
Her armament consists of five guns.
She is commanded by Lie0t. Comman-
der f. Z. Gilmore.
On May 81, 1889, while engaged in
blowing up derelicts in the gulf stream
she was struck by a severe storm and
had a very narrow escape from de-
struction. She reached this city on
May %, having lost her masts and
all but one of her small boats.
She was transferred to the South
Atlantic squadron. In May 1894, a
board of officers which inspected the
vessel in the harbor at Montevideo
condemned her. She was repaired
and retained in the South Atlantic.
On March s, this year, while hel
crew were engaged in gun practice an
explosion occurred in which one sailor
was killed and one severely injured.

GOOD NEWS FROM PEARsALL.

Pearsall, Tex, March 30.-Special-
This has been the busiest week in the
way of cattle shipping that Pearsall
has ever known. One train load af-
ter another has been shipped from
here Just as fast as they could be
loaded for the last few days
Something near 1000 head has been
shipped from this place since last Fri
day morning and cattle are still in
the pens to be loaded as well as q
great many held in herds on the prai-
ries waiting till those in the pens are
loaded so they can be penned. The
cause of such heavy shipments is at
tributed to the shortage of the grass
in the pastures caused by the contin-
ued dry weather and are being ship
ped to the Indian Territory to be pas
tured until they are fat enough for
market. 1t is said that the rain that
fell in this section Of the country yes
terday will serve to stop further ship
ments for a while at least, as it will
not be long before there will be sutfi-
cient grass to fatten all the remaining
cattle. Quite a number of beeves have
also been shipped in the last few days
to the st. Louis and Chicago mar
ketS.

THE RAILROADS FIGHT.

They VIII Tr- to Maintain Another
Organization Now.
New York, March 30.-Leading rail
road lawyers of New York and Phila-
delphia will confer today at the office
of James G. Carter to see what can be
done to save the Joint Traffic associa-
ton Among the legal giants who are
expected to be present are Mr.. Carter,
leading counsel for the big railroad
pools; ex-Judge Ashbelgren, represent
ing the West Shore; Frank Loomis,
New York; James Logan, of the Penn
sylyania; Edward ]. Phelps, Freder-
lex L. Couredt and Lewis Cassleyard.
1t is generally agreed by the lawyers
that the decision of the Supreme court
iIf the trans Missouri Freight associa-
ton case is so clear that the Joint
Traffic association cannot hope for a
different decision in their case, now
pending.
This case was brought by the Unit
ed States District Attorney McFar-
lane, who in commenting upon it this
morning said:
dej.y.wase eenk examlq fiji ).
From careful reading of the
point in the Trans Missouri case
can't see how the lawyers for the
Joint Traffic association can expect a
favorable decision. The latter asso-
ciatoin has offended to. even a greater
extent against the Sherman law than
did the Western association"
1t is understood that the railroads
at their meeting will devote less time
considering the Supreme court figh.
than to devising other methods of
meeting the emergency.
One plan is TO ask Congress to pass
special laws so that pooling may be
continued under direction of the Inter
state Commerce commission. 1t is
argued this would enable the commits
sion to prevent discrimination and at
the same time enable the railroads to
avoid rate restriction. Another plan
to be considered is that the associa-
ton be in relation only to the classifi-
cation of freight This, it is argued,
would not be, a restraint of trade, and
therefore not violation of the law.
With freight properly classified the
railroad men think they might be able
to maintain rates by verbal arrange
ment with each other.

FELL FROM THE STAIRS.

Chicago, March 30.-County Com
missioner Nicholas Petrol fell over the
railing of the front stairway at his
home ut POS North State street at 2
o'clock this morning and received in
iuries from which he died half an
hour later. He returned at that hour
with a party of friends and as they
were chatting pleasantly he started to
go up stairs. Upon reaching the top he
lost his balance and fell over the rail-
ing into the basement at the rear. His
skull was fractured and he died in
half an hour from conclusion of the
brain,
Mr.. Petrol was brother Of Fire
Marshal Chas Petrol. He has lived in
Chicago many years and was a well
known figure in northside politics.

WILL USE ELECTRICITY.

Steam Locomotives TO be Replaced by
Electric Motors.
st. Louis, March 30.-The board of
directors of the Terminal Railroad as
ISOLATION have under consideration
the problem of changing the motive
power of the Terminal system from
steam to electricity. 1t is one of the
largest undertakings that was. ever
seriously discussed by st. Louis
corporation and will involve the in
yestment of millions of dollars of cap
ital. The idea of the terminal associa-
ton is TO dispense with the steam To-
comotives entirely and move all
trains entering the city-with cleo
trical engines An average of 100 pas
senger trains per day enter the great
passenger station at Eighteenth street
and the number of freight trains is
many times greater. All these will
be hauled over the terminal tracks by
electric locomotives if practical
solution of the problem can be had.
In addition to this the company
hopes to be able to do all its switch
ing in this city, East st. Louis ana
Madison with the same improved de-
vices. In discussing the. company's
plans President Julius Walsh says it
means a transferring of the whole
system.
IAN immense power station will be
required" says he. THE Baltimore
company has surplus power which its
superintendent supplies to parties us
ing electricity and if we adopt the new
motive power / suppose we would
follow the same plan. The cost Of OPP
GRAFTON could be certainly reduced in
that manner. 1t might be possible to
furnish the current for street railways
and other plants and profitable bus
mess built up in that way. The coal
consumption of a big station would
not be any greater and possibly not
so great as that of fifty locomotives"
