THE QUESTION SETTLED
HEATING CARS BY STEAM FROM Lo-
COMOTIVEs A SUCCESS.
Earnings of January Very Satisfac-
tOry-Great Demand for Cars of
All Kinds-GeneraI Notes.

Until the recent severe weather the most
sanguine advocates of heating trains by
steam from the locomotives had fears that
in extreme cold weather it could not be done
with an eight or ten-car train. The last
ten days the Big -Four and the Pennsylvania
lines have given the matter the closest at
tention, with the most gratifying results.
William Garstang, superintendent of motive
power of the Big -Four, as did the Penn
sylvania lines placed experts on mechanical
appliances on through fast trains of six to
eight cars to take note of the steam pres
sure required to properly heat the cars and
OF the temperature in different parts of the
train when the thermometer was Is to 20
degrees below zero. and at no time during
the coolest night did the temperature fall
below 65 to 6S degrees. These observations
have convinced mechanical engineers that
heating trains by steam is a marked sue
cess, but open to further improvement.
which viii tax the engine less to furnish
the steam required for heating long trains.
With four or five-car train there is no
important effect on the locomotive notice
able from the heating

A conference was held in Washington yes
terday between the Interstate-commerce
Commission and the presidents or other
principal officials of most of the great rail-
way trunk lines over the rate situation.
There were about twenty officials present.
Cooperation between the roads in the trunk
line territory to maintain rates, it was re-
ported, had resulted in more stable rates
than for some time prior thereto. The con-
ference was the result of a meeting held in
Washington on Jan. II at the instance of
presidents attended and when assurance of
q desire to restore rate conditions to a nor
NAL condition was pledged by all. Since
then there have been conferences among the
railroad authorities themselves and yester-
day they reported in the main a generally
satisfactory understanding. No road, it
was stated, had broken this informal agree
ment for uniform tariffs.

The Financial Chronicle. in it's compila-
ton Of railway gross earnings for January,
shows that of 12S roads which have sent
returns eighty-1ve enlarged their earnings
as compared with the same month last year,
while thirty-eight suffered a reduction
With two exceptions the losses are not
large, and the result is that for the whole
12S roads the statement records a gain of
1924, 1853, or 40 per cent Considering that

in 1898 follows gain of no less than S. )
Cos, or 1856 per cent, last year.
