Engineer Mac Makes a Great
Record For Speed.
Gains 20 Minutes Lost Time in
1874 Miles
ON THE SANTA FE
Between Purcell and Arkansas
City-Passengers Scared.
Results In an Order From
Trainmaster McNally.
THE SANTA FE

Another record for speed has been
made on the Santa Fe.
Engineer D. c. Mac of the Arkansas
City division this week made a run that
has not been excelled perhaps in the
annals of speed trials on that road in
the way of making up lost time.
The distance is 154 miles between the
points and on the fast schedule of No.
406 Mr.. Mac made up the remarkable
time of one hour and ten minutes.
The engine went swinging and sway
ner that the passengers were badly
frightened and complained to the con-
ductOr.
It was a great record but has re-
suited in an order from TrainmaSter
NIcNaIly that hereafter not more than
% minutes of lost time can be made up
by passenger engines between Purcell
and Arkansas City.

he was pushed from the train by the
cOIOred porter, Wilkins, and that the

When Rankin became conscious he
denied that the porter had hit him and
remembered that he had left his bag

Dun's Report.

R. G. Dun & Co., in their weekly re-
view of trade, say:
1t can do no good to disguise the fact
that the large eastern advances on wool
to be held for higher prices have helped
to retard the natural declines on that
product, of which one hundred quota
tions of Coates Bros. of Philadelphia
average 1871 cents, against 2O.83 cents
February 1, while extraordinarily small
sales, only 2,614,300 pounds for the week
at the three chief markets, against IA
337 900 last year, 1868, 800 in 1896 and
1898. 800 in 1892 indicate very little de-
mand at this time for it. The truth is
demand for goods is not helped by the
high prices for wool. The cotton indus
try shows better conditions in spite of
the fall of cotton to the lowest quota
ton ever known, and there is larger
demand for most staple goods.
The iron industry still gains so rapidly
that an unhealthy boom would seem
to be in progress but for the peculiar
conditions. In spite of the commission

anthracite is now stronger at Phila-
delphia. But the consuming demand is
remarkably heavy and large contracts
this week cover 1900 tons structural
iron at Chicago, 1900 tons for Boston,
1900 tons ship plates at Cleveland and
a heavy demand for bars, the Pennsyl-
vania railroad requiring $500 cars and
the Northwestern 1000.
Wheat has been declining a little with
foreign reports somewhat favorable as
to European crops, and yet the actual
shipments have been 3,5S6,94 bushels,

cate that farmers are generally holding

likewise have been guilty Of gross mis-
conduct. Secretary Alger has cabled

accuracy Of the complaints.
The most serious allegations are
against brigands and lawless clements
in the smaller towns way from the
coast. 1t is said that taking advant-

ment from Spain to the United States,
bands of men have organized for rob.

plantations and levying tribute upon
the people wherever possible. In one
case, 1t is said, they made raid on 9
small town of about 1900 inhabitants
l5 miles from the nearest troops. and
burned and destroyed property to
considerable value.
