The Horse Market.

In the month of March there were sold at
the weekly auction sales of the two sales
stables here 3,527 horses and mules, and not
at any time in the last three years have
good horses brought better prices. There
is a surprising demand for horses to ex-
port Last month there were seven buyers
for foreign countries at these sales. 1t is
stated that fully one-half Of the horses sold
went to Germany, France, England and
Scotland. The significance of this is the
more marked when it is considered that I'M
til few years ago the movement was di-
rectly opposite. Thousands of horses used
TO be imported to. this country from Europe
every year, while now it is recognized on
the other side of the water that American
horses are superior to all others in wind,
limb and other desirable qualities and con-
Sequently they are bringing fancy prices
where the full value of such advantages
is realized. 1t is said that at the present
time foreigners are now driving more good
American horses than the Americans them
selves. Europeans, particularly Germans,
are driving American horses to their brew
cry wagons, for hauling freight cars short
distances and for all. drayage purposes.
American coach horses are very popular
the world over that the American trotIing
horse is without peer in any country, and in
this connection it Is stated that the horses
raised in Indiana and Illinois are looked
upon with the most favor. For years horses
bred in Pennsylvania stood at the head ;
now ii is the Indiana and Illinois bred
horse that is most sought.

The opinion of Judge Taft in the proceed
ing brought to foreclose the mortgage on
the Toledo, st. Louis & Kansas City Rail-
road, running from Toledo to st. Louis,
known as the Glover Leaf, was handed
down Saturday in the Circuit Court for the
Northern district of Ohio at Toledo. The
suit was a consolidated suit embracing both
a bill to foreclose the mortgage on the
road securing $9,G00,000 of bonds and Il
creditors bill to sell the road to pay the
judgment and floating debts The railroad
company and the judgment creditors at
tackled the validity of the bonds, claiming
that the bonds were void even in the hands
of innocent purchasers because issued in
violation of the law of Ohio, which requires
that railroad companies shall not sell their
bonds at less than IS per cent. of par to
to directors shall be null and void. 1t APP
peared in evidence that Kneeland. the con-
tractor, received 100000 of bonds, 81 ,250-
900 of common stock and 81 ,00000 of pre-
ferred stock in consideration of his rebuild
ing the old narrow gauge road from Toledo
to ST. Louis and paying off all the claims
which were liens underlying the old narrow
gauge first mortgages. The court, after an
examination of the evidence, embracing
five thousand typewriter pages, finds that
the company received as consideration for
the bonds material and labor amounting in
value to more than IS per cent. par of the
not invalid on the first ground alleged. A
decree for sale on the foreclosure bill and
also upon the creditors bill was ordered

A DECREASE IN TONNAGE
FLOOD DAMAGES CUT DOWN TRAF-
FIc OF SEVERAL LOCAL LINES.
Delayed Freishts Going Forward
Southern Indiana VIII Interchange
TraGlc with the Big Four.

Several of the local lines experienced an
other bad week; still, the roads that suf-
fered but little from the high waters han
died about their usual number of loaded cars
in the week ending Saturday. Of this num-
Der were the Vandalia, the Monon, the Gin
cinnau. Hamilton & Dayton, the Lake Erie
& Western, the Bee-line division of the Big
Four and the Chicago divisions west end.
The troubles from the high waters with the
roads that did suffer were quite equally
divided the past four days of the week end
ing March % and the first four days of the
week ending April 2, when the loaded car
movement again reached its normal vol
ume, but in each week there was trouble
from high waters the loaded car movement
fell about 5000 cars below the average of
many months past. Still, there is plenty of
business in sight, and as the troubles re-
sulting from the high waters are largely
overcome, freight officials anticipate a
heavy business the present month 1t will
require several days to move the business
that has accumulated on side tracks, since
the Big Four and the Panhandle lines were
tied up practically by the washouts be-
tween Indianapolis and Cincinnati and In
dianapolis and Columbus. In the week end
ing April there were received and for
warded at Indianapolis 2257S cars, 17,574 be-
ing loaded, and while this compares favor
ably with the corresponding weeks of 1897
and 1896, it does not with that of the bust
ness the roads have been handling at this
city each week since July /. Through bust
ness, both east and west-bound, despite
the opening of lake navigation on April 1,
bids fair to be heavy with Indianapolis
lines for weeks to come as there is a very
promising outlook for the shipment of

are two reasons for the light production.

wreck of the Maine Abandoned.

HAVANA, April 2---Orders were received
here to-day for the closing of the contract
with the wreckers now at work on the
Maine, and directing that salvage operations
should be suspended. The tug Merritt and
the barges Chief and Sharp will proceed
north as soon as practicable. The tattered
flag at the poop of the Maine probably will
be removed, Any further action that may
be taken will be the subject of a confer
ence. The decision arrived at is doubtless
based upon the report of Captain Chad
wick Lieutenant Commander Cowles and
Lieutenant Commander Wainwright, com
posing the board appointed to decide what
was best to be done with the Maine wreck.
In their report, 1t is believed. the board sets
forth that it was not possible to save the
ten-inch guns unless dynamite was used to
blow the tops from the turrets. All the
other valuable material of the Maine which
was not destroyed by the explosion or sunk
deep in the harbor mud has already been
sent north. The bodies of the victims of the
explosion which have not been recovered
numbering seventy-fiv or seventy-six, are
by this time probably completely disinte-
grated, but arrangements can be made with
the local authorities, should any bodies APP
pear on the surface, that they will be cared
for and shipped north by Ward line steam

A backward Nation.

NdSHInSlOu ISSl.
1--WE hear a good deal about the grand
eur of Spain in centres gone by" said
Mr. p H. Martin, of New Orleans, but in
most respects she was always one of the
backward nations. Her boasted art was a
fiorid foreign importation, and her litera-
ture was b0mbastic in style and full of the
exaggeration that seems to characterize
Spanish thought. For the discovery Of
America she is entitled to small credit and
to her everlasting shame is recorded in his
tory the ingratitnde with which she repaid
those who had served her. and the cruelty
that she exercised to the people of the ter
ritory she acquired by conquest Cruelty,
in fact, is a dominant trait of the Span
iards. Nor was Spain ever in reality a pros
porous country. In her best days the land
was always overrun with beggars. At no
time did manufacturing industries flourish.
Her exports have IN the main always been
those OF soil practically unimnroved-suc
as wool. hides. minerals, raw silk, and the
like. In the days Of her power she was
largely land OF mining camps and cattle
ranches, and never has she reached any
high plane Of civilization.
