A Car Famine.

A car famine is threatened. The Bal
timore and Ohio feels the pinch severely,
the officials of that company are in a
quandary as TO how TO meet the demand
of shippers this fall.
The Baltimore and Ohio now has 49,
900 freight cars in service and these are
loaded and unloaded as rapidly as possible,
but still the company is unable to meet
the demands made upon it. 1t is estimat-
ed that the road could use at least 10000
more cars than it has in service. Most OF
the other leading lines of the country are
short anywhere from l 900 TO 10000 cars,
and it is impossible. therefore, for the
companies to remedy the shortage by
borrowing from each other.
The grain movement has begun, and
this will furnish tremendous tonnage.
The movement of coal is also heavy,
and nearly all the lines are short OF this
class of cars. Add to these the in
creasng volume of other classes of ton
mage and the predicament Of the trans
portation companies may be better appre-
ciated.
The Baltimore and Ohio owns several
thousand more cars than it did year
ago, and has awarded contracts for hun
dreds additional. The Northwestern lines
are said TO have at least 5000 more cars in
service than they did last year, but the
shortage still exists and the prospects are
not encouraging for relieving the situation,

Shoemaker Says They Are
Incapable of Self Government.

CINCINNATI, March 9-M. NJ. Shoe
maker of this city, author and traveller,
has just returned from a years tour,
including India and the Philippines.
He spent the greater part of the month
of January in Manila, where he made a
study of the Philippines. He says self
government by the Filipinos would be
impossible; that the natives would soon
relapse into savagery. They are, he
says, a treacherous. suspicious and no
account race They need the iron rule
of good government to keep at all
within the bounds of civilization. The
half-caste class in Manila, correspond
ing to the mulatto, are the most intelli-
gent.
Speaking of how the insurgents pro-
cure arms, Mr. Shoemaker says there
is a report in Hongkong that firm in
Shanghai, consisting of five brothers,
furnish arms and escape responsibility
by representing that each one is
resident of a different country, so that
if one nation objects the blame can be
laid on some other country.

citizens had been warned, and were
prepared for the gang. One robber
was shot and killed by Louis Smith,

the robbery in the bud, the remainder
