A DECREASE IN TRAFFIC
LESS THAN 10000 LOADED CARS HAN
DIED HERE LAST WEEK.
Mistakes of Passenger Conductors, as
viewed by a General Superinten-
dent-General Notes.

The train records show that a total Of e, 81
cars were handled at Indianapolis in the
week ending June 3, and or that number
10 e92 were loaded. which Is 4H fewer loaded
cars than were handled at indianapolis in
the preceding week, and 1,2M fewer than in
the corresponding week Of 1898. but. going
back of 1898. the exhibit is more favorable
for this year, there being 1,2SS more loaded
cars handled here last week than in the
corresponding week of 1897, 4,4s7 more than
in 1896. 200 more than In 1925 and 4.467 more
than in 1894. From the above comparisons
IL will be seen that the business now NOV
ing is phenomenally large for early June.
AS for some time past, all decreases in
business are on east-bound tonnage and
cnlefy IN grain as more Provisions hides
are moving eastward than usual al this sea-
son of the year. As for several months past,
west-bound business is heavy beyond pre-
cedent. There has been some falling off
in high-class freights west-bourd for the
last two weeks, but this has been more than
offset by the increased tonnage of low-clas1
freights. North-and-south roads continue
to make favorable exhibits. Immense guam
titles OF lumber from the Southern States
and of fruits and vegetables are being
more machinery is being shipped and con-
siderable quantities Of merchandise. Local
business continues TO exceed the expecta-
tionS OF the most sanguine freight officials.
A falling Off is looked for in late May and
early June, but the amount OF freight han
died over the city freight-depot platforms
and in the bulk yards has never before
been equalled. and freight men say it is
all carried at good rates. In handling fruits
and vegetables, building material and ma
terial for street improvements the bulk
tracks OF the companies come In good play,

LONDON. June 3.-The fickleness OF pop

in the case of Tod Sloan, whose recent fall

sportsmen and have retired to America. II

Cecil with rantings against the honesty OF
Sloan's Oaks failure, until the hotel officials
rad to demonstrate. Col. Tom Ochiltree de-
clares himself heavy loser and says sloan
is a great jockey for five furlongs. but when
every one expects him To win and backs
him heavily. he Is left at the post. and that
in no other way could he have lost the
Oaks.
In spite of the clatter of disgruntled los
ers Sloan maintains hopes of ultimate sue
cess this season. OF 103 mounts he has now
won 81. while Otto Madden. heads the list
with 80 winnings out OF 36l mounts and
Roates has IS wins out OF 2ol mounts, so
Sloan has won 50 per cent. OF his races and
