The Railway Age publishes a lengthy ar
ticle on receiverships and foreclosures of
last year, in which it shows that during
last year thirty-four roads, with 5.441 miles
of lines and q bond and stock capitaliza-
tion of about $275,6 800 900, Joined the list of
railways operated by receivers. The most
important failure of the year was that of
the Baltimore & Ohio, with 1904 miles of
road and over 12 millions of bonds and
stocks. besides heavy fioatinp debt and ar
rears of interest. The bankruptcy of this
old and formerly profitable company was
diScourdging evidence of the effects of un-

ures include the Louisville, New Albany &

and two related Eastern roads. the Cen

nearly IL millions Of investment. The other
insolvents represent smaller mileage al
though the aggregate losses involved to

no less than 90 roads were sold for their

WASHINGTON. D. c., March 26.-With
the exception OF the first hour the whole
of to-day's session was spent by the Sem
ate behind closed doors, when not only
was the arbitration treaty discussed in
some of its bearings, but also was the
party organization OF the Senate, no def
mite results being arrived at on either
subject. During the opening session the
Civil Service Commission was subjected to
another raking down at the hands OF Gal

his statement the other day about the

employ ment in the Government Printing
Office were submitted had been challenged
by "penny-a-Iiners" in the press and by an
official OF the Civil Service Commission
he had obtained printed copy of the cir
cular which contained that and other
equally absurd require ments = which
would, he said, have prevented Phil Sher-
idan from making himself famous If the
Civil Service Commission had got chance
at him. and would have even shut him out
from employment in the Government
Printing Office.

BALTIMORE, Nd, March rs. With ref
erence to a report that the Minneapolis
and St. Paul wheelmen would withdraw
their support from the L. A. W., Albert
Mott, chairman of the L. A. w. Racing
Board, said:
1.-THE United Wheelmen will have q
more brief and precarious existence than
even the Knights Of the Wheel of Detroit
had few years ago. The grievances of
the United Wheelmen are based upon the
racing interests of the L. A. W., which
affect comparatively few members, while
the Knights of the Wheel movement was
a direct split from the L. A. w. by promi-
nent officials of the L. A. w. With that
great advantage and with numbers far ex-
ceeding that of the Minneapolis move
ment, the Detroit affair was SO insigni6-
cant 10 the l.. A.. w. that its existence was
only known by an occasional and stray
newspaper paragraph.
"The affair at Minneapolis is not new.
The same parties have been struggling for
several years in the throes Of rebellion,

followers, the dignity OF the revolution is
much dwarfed in the public eye and the

RAIL ROAD men
NOT IN ACCORD
Legal Lights of the West
Differ From Eastern
Opinion.
Chicago Magnates Believe That
All Associations Are
Ontlawed.
Already the Rate.Cutting Is On and
the Travelling Public May
Reap the Benefi'.

CHICAGO, I'LL, March Pa confer
ence of the lee al represent tatives of Chi
cago railroads was held to-day in the
office of George r. Peck, general counsel
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
Railroad. B. F. Aver, general counsel for
the Illinois Central, presided. and there
was full attendance of lawyers from the
important lines west. south and north OF
Chicago. The conference was called on
account of the Supreme Courts decision
adverse to railroad traffic associations.
The prevailing sentiment of those present
showed that the Western railroad lawyers
are practically unit in the opinion that
the Eastern railroad lawyers and joint
traffic association magnates are wrong
from a legal standpoint in assuming that
the decision does not place the stamp of
illegalitv on any other association except
the Trans Missouri Freight Association.
The lawyers declared unanimously that
the decision outlawed such associations as
the Western Freight Association, and the
result OF the conference will be that such
roads as have not already formally with
drawn from that organization will forth
with send notices to that effect.
The relation of the decision to passen-
ger associations was not discussed sufi-
GENTLY for q general opinion to be given
out, and each road for the present will be
guided by its own lawyers.
The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
and the Sioux City and Northern, the lat
ter road running between Minneapolis
and O'NeilI, Nebr., sent notices of with
drawel to-day from all traffic associations.
The Western Freight Association has
practically ceased to exist, many en-
ployes having already been discharged for
lack of work to DO and those of higher
grade are seeking positions elsewhere.
Most of the officials have contracts which
run to 1898, including Commissioner
Midgeley, who is now in the Holy Land on
q sick leave of absence.
The disagreement of transcontinenta tai
roads as to the payment of commissions
is supposed to have received indepen endent
action by the Union Pacific, which may
pc the beginning of serious rate trouble
in the absence of a transcontinental
agreement, except on paper. The Union
Pacific is said to have raised com missions
over its lines from the Missouri River to
Denver 81. and to California points So.
The Chicago-St. Paul passenger situa-
ton is also reported to be in a condition
bordering on ccllapse in rates. The Su-
preme Court decision has had the effect of
abbrogating the agreement of the Trans
continental Passenger Association to POOL
the business for the Christian Endeavor
convention, to be held in San FrancIsco
next July, and there is danger now of a
free-fur-ail bid for the business by each
line, which might bring rates from
Chicago and return down to $50.
