Pnssenger Business Light.

The complaint is general among passen-
ger officials that, aside from the moving of
troops, travel is light. Two or three days
in. the week there is a very satisfactory
local business, but east and west and north
and south it Is not as heavy as in April
Usually by the middle of May travel to
Eastern pleasure resorts sets in quite brisk
ly, but as yet it is far below that of either
of the last three years. Passenger men are
looking for quite rush to Michigan and
Northwestern pleasure resorts and to those
in Canada when really hot weather sets in,
but they may be disappointed unless il is
more definitely known how serious the war
with Spain is likely to be- The war thus far
has had the most disastrous effect OH Euro
pean travel and along the Atlantic coast.
AT the steamship offices large numbers of
sailings are being Cancelled. The departure
from there of the great ocean line Amer
lean steamers that have been taken into
government service has proven beneficial to
the lines still in business The manager OF
a well-known line is quoted by New York
paper as saying that half of the reserva-
ton OF last winter had been Cancelled. Travel

which is great dsa ppointment to the man
ayers of the Northwestern lines. and the
passenger officials of the roads which have
been OF late putting on fast train service
senger officials None of the new trains is
Iemunerative, and they will probably be
taken off: Unless travel soon improves
many of the roads will cut down their train
service. following the example of the Lee
high Valley, which has taken off thirty
accommodation trains and increased the
stopping places of its fast trains Passenger
men are hoping that few weeks will allay

SHIPPERS DISPLEASED
CUTTING OFF FREE STORAGE RE-
GARDED AN UNJUST EXACTION.
Passenger Traffic Disappointing
Travel Light in All Directions
Personal and General News.

Shippers do not take kindly to the new
rule of the Trunk Line Association cutting
off free storage at the Eastern trunk line
terminals. Western shippers forget that this
has been done in obedience to the orders of
the Interstate-commerce Commission. AS
the rule has been applied thus far only to
New York. it is regarded by New York
business men with little favor, they feel
ing that it will divert traffic to other points.
The new rule went into effect at New York
on May IA, and since that date all ship
ments that were not received on arrival
at the freight depots and bulk yards have
been sent to warehouses and subjected to
storage charges. The only hope that the
shipper has is that the railroads will break
their agreement and ignore the interstate
commerce rule, as they have so often done
before

Paving of Morris Street.

The Board of Public Works yesterday
awarded contracts for the improvement of
Morris street, which action had been de-
ferred from May 20. This is one of the most
important street improvements to be made
this year. The Capitol Paving and Supply
Company secured all of the three contracts,
which specify pavement of creosoted wood
en- blocks and combined cement curb and
gutter. From Madison avenue to " est
street the cost will be $4.26; from West
street to Dakota street, $276 from Dakota
street to White river, 50 SO.
