PROPOSED RAILWAY RATES.
Shippers Object to the New classification
,3oing Into Effect

Washingt ton, December 22-'Phss hear
ing before the interstate commerce
commission, called on account Of COM
plants made by shippers againststhe
proposed new classification Of freight
by railroads operating under the official
classification, was resumed to-day. by
agreement Frank. Harriott, general
traffic manager of the Erie railroad.
and member Of the official classification
committee, testified as to the new class
ification. He reiterated Gills state
ment of yesterday that the new classi-
fication was adopted because the rail-
roads absolutely needed increased reve-
nues. The inquiries developed an ad
mission by Harriott that on an average
the miscellaneous cars carrying arti'
cles paying less than car load rates
were being more heavily loaded now
than heretofore; therefore, the earnings
of that class of traffic were greater.
Attorney General F. S. Monnett, of
Ohio presented resolutions adopted by
the commercial interests directing at
tention to the testimony adduced at the
present hearing, showing discrimina-
tons against small shippers in favor of
large shippers. The resolutions We're
supplemented by petition by a large
majority Of shippers in attendance up
on the hearing, asking the committee to
lay the testimony before the attorney
general of the United States with a
view to have him bring action against
the railroads to prevent the new classi-
fications becoming effective January l,
1900.
Chairman Knapp, of the commission,
maintained it had no more authority to
make recommendations to the attorney
general than the representatives of
shippers. The commission had no OBJ
lection furnishing the attorney general,
at the suggestion of shippers, a tran
script of the evidence adduced at the
hearing, together with a petition from
shippers for action under the antitrust
law. Testimony Is being given showing
the operation of the new classification
would be in restrain of trade, and to
that extent a violation of existing law

COAL And RAILWAY PROSPECT.
What the Ell Paso & Northeastern Ex-
va nonfu

President c. B. Eddy Of the El Paso
g. Northeastern railroad, returned from
the east where he conferred with the
capitalists interested in the New Mexico
coal and railroad enterprise in Otero
and Lincoln counties. Mr.. Eddy, from
the knowledge he had gained in the
east and as a result Of conferences with
railroad officials, predicts that within a
year an extension to the north and to
the west will be made with the Ell Paso
& Northeastern. Mr. Eddy continued;
"The FL Paso & Northeastern will un-
der no circumstances nor condition ex-
tend ITSELF. We are going to push the
coal fields for all th.ya areworth. We
have man in Colorado and Mr.. Alex
ander in Illinios who are securing all
the laborers and experienced miners
possible. We get in four new engines
next month, big consolidated ones, and
with the additional rolling stock order
ed end to come at once, we will be able
to llaadle lots of coal. We realize the
demand and the possibilities in the coal
trade and we are going to meet them

Free to Sell War Supplies.

Chicago, December ga special to
the Record from Washington says:
President Kruger's government has for
mally protested to Secretary Hay
against the sale Of munitions Of war by
American manufacturers and mer-
chants to the British government. This
protest was designed to prevent the
British government from obtaining
much needed war supplies, but it
proved Of no avail. 1t is said Secretary
Hay sent a reply to the Boer govern
ment reiterating the neutrality Of the
United States in the present war, and
declaring American citizens in trading
with both belligerents violate no neu-
trality obligations.

BOSTON BANKS.
They Helped One Another and Restored
Confidence.

Boston, December 22.-There was d
nervous feeling apparent in financial
quarters to-day before the opening Of
business on account of the troubled as
pect Of the situation resulting from the
closing of the Globe National Bank.
Considerable confidence was expressed,
however, that the action of the clearing
house last week in making certificates
available in case of emergency would
avert any further serious failures AT
the Globe bank to-day all the clerks
were busy when the regular hour for
opening came, but the doors remained
closed, and a notice bearing the sigma
ture of d. G. Wing, temporary receiver,
gave the reason.
Boston, December 22.-The galleries Of
the stock exchange We're crowded to-
day when business began. The marke.
was weak at the opening. Trading was
very animated, and violent fluctuations
in sugar We're recorded. The coppers
were a trife weak, Montana dropping
5, but recovering half the loss almost
immediately The market showed good
support sstga4,
Receiver Wing and President r. H.
Stevens, of the Globe bank, declined to
say anything about the situation to-
day. There was no unusual scene
around the bank, although a number of
out town customers who came to
draw money for Christmas were consid-
erably upset by the information that
the bank had closed. The National
Shawmut offered to advance to-day to
all depositors of the Globe bank against
their deposits SO per cent net of the
amount Of the same.
The action of the National Shawmut
Bank had an excellent effect in all cir
cles, and within a short time after it
became known, except for the feverish
tendency of some transactions ON the
stock exchange, the financial sections of
the city were as quiet as usual. 1t was
learned in connection with the Globe
Bank case to-day that of $3500,000 ad-
vanced by the Boston clearing house to
the bank last Saturday, 100000 has
DeeII Eepdlu. LIE net dlut-
of securities given the clearing house
| for the loan is $4,500,000.
Boston, Mass, December 22.-The
| creditors of John p Squire & Co., cor
poration, at meeting to-day voted to
continue the business firm under the as
| signee, subject to the assistance and ap-
proval Of a committee Of three repre-
senting the creditors. After the meeting
| it developed that Mr. Chaplin's denial
| of the reported indebtedness Of the firm
| to the Globe Bank caused sensation,
| as he stated the firm was reported as
owing more than $1,000,OO0, through fal-
Styling the books of the bank. This was
done Chaplin explained, by charging
notes and collateral loans against the
| firm without crediting collateral, so ev-
cry loan was made to appear twice as
large as it should. An explicit examina-
ton of the books caused the overdraft
| to disappear. At first it was not con-
sidered wise to give publicity to the con-
dition of the banks affairs, but the as
signment is thought to make it prudent
| to do so now.

LAND GRANT DECISIONS.
Gases In Which the Granting Power Was
Tnadeuuate.

Washington, December 22.-The Unit
ed States supreme court to-day rem
dered decisions in two cases involving
two land grants in New Mexico, both
opinions being by Justice Peckham. The
first case was the claim of S. Endicott
Peabody in the Vallecito de Lovato
grant of ia, 400 acres near Ojo Caliente;
the other that of j. Francisco Chaves
to 5000 acres in Valencia county, near
Torreon. Both grants were made by
provincial officials of New Mexico uIl-
der Mexican rule, and were declared by
the court of private land claims invalid
on the ground that the granting author
ity was inadequate. The opinion hand
ed down to-day afflrms the opinion OF
the lower court.

The WOOL MARKET.
A Poor Demand for Wool, But Prices We're
the Highest Of the Year.

The American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter of Boston said Yesterday:
THE tightness of the money market
cut short the demand for wool, and as q
result the wool market has been almost
lifeless the past week. This is q time oi
the year, however, when quiet business
is always expected, being the holiday
and stock-taking period.
"The tight money market could not
have come at q better time for the WOO
trade, as their obligations matured last
November. Their wool has been largely
sold and turned into cash, and the mem
bers of the trade are not borrowers to-
day. The demand for wool is now run
ming more to the coarser grades. Fine
woods have reached such high point
that manufacturers are trying more anc
more to substitute medium woods fol
them. The sales of the past week have
been made at the top prices of the year.
