The American schooner w. ii. Swan
was seized by the collector Of customs at
New Orleans for carrying cOntraband

not down upon her manifest. she had on
board. clumsily concealed. thirty-scvcn
Mauscr rifles. fourteen bnyonets. forty
four belts of cartridges. forty-ninc boxes
of cartridges. one sack of cartridges and
three brass cannon. The ship cleared
from Santiago for II small Georgia port
and put into New Orleans In distress. and
when the customs inspectors boarded her
they discovered the cargo. The ground is
taken by the officials that not only are the
ordnance and arms contraband by not be-
ing on the manifest. but they are the prop
crty of Spain.

CHANGES ON THE B. & O.
THE CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP EX-
CITES WIDESPREAD INTEREST.
Annual Report of President Thomas,
of the MonoD, shows an Increase
OF $1O7,311 In Net Earnings.

Not only among railroad men, but in
business circles, was the reported deal by
which the Baltimore & Ohio is to change
ownership discussed yesterday. promi-
nent railway official said this is the first
time Western capitalists have taken any
part in the ownership or control of the lines
between the Atlantic coast and Chicago,
and it means" he added. that new era
is dawning with the railways, and unless
New York and New England capitalists
wake up to the situation some of the trunk
lines will be controlled by Chicago capital
instead of that of Eastern investors" He
expressed the opinion that this was but the
beginning of the changes in the railroad
map in trunk line and Central Traffic Assoc
citation territory; he thought the Southern
Railway Company would secure control Of
the Norfolk & Western lines which have
come to the front rapidly in the last two
years. 1.-THE Louisville & Nashville" he
said lis getting uneasy, and should it reach
north over the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
and the Evansville & Terre Haute no one
need be surprised. l predict that three Of
the big railroad companies will own most of
the roads in Central Traffic Association
territory before 1900" An important move
was made yesterday toward Fastening the
reported Baltimore & Ohio deal. Suit was
brought in the United States Circuit Court,
at Baltimore, for the foreclosure of the con-
solidated mortgage on the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad held by the Mercantile Trust
and Deposit Company. The mortgage was
executed on Dec. 1, 1887, and covered the
entire line of railroad of the Baltimore &
Ohio; all lands and tenements on the line
of railroad, except those occupied in Balti-
more as general offices; all the rolling
stock, tools, and implements; the first mort
gage bonds of the Wheeling Pittsbuhg &
Baltimore Railroad Company, and rentals,
tolls, profits etc. to be derived. The effect
of the foreclosure proceedings is to put the
reorganization managers in a position to
go ahead with their plans, whether all the
stockholders consent or not.
