in preparatio for the game with Cornell
on Saturday. In two fifteen-minute halves
played against scrub team they scored
but one touchdown. Kafer, who was out

tors of the Pennsylvania lines, states that
on account Of the rapidly increasing bust
ness number of Improvements will be
necessary for Indianapolis, Cincinnati and
st. Louis. These will be in the form of
increased yard tracks, new sidings and the
construction Of warehouses. There will also
be other work done, but the above will con-
stitute the main operations. Everything is
encouraging and the outlook Is exceedingly
good The party was struck with the
amount of corn which will have to be
moved during the coming winter in the corn
belt in Illinois. Most of this is Oh the
Peoria and Panhandle systems. and the
business on these roads should be unusually
large. The most encouraging feature of the
trip was the condition of the agriculturists.
The farmers all seem TO be prosperous, and
they have a market for everything they can
raise. There is trouble in securing labor,
and at no place could surplus be found.

New York to-day to take action on west
bound freight rates. This announcement.

was entirely erroneous. Referring TO the
east-bound rates promulgated at the recent
Chicago meetings, he said the movement
was by no means as sweeping as some of
the reports tended to indicate. The grain
rate had been fixed on a basis of % cents.

quoted rate, based on 20 cents, which has
prevailed for the last five years. Previous

cents. The attempts to advance freight

are an effort TO get back at the rates for

theless, the condition of grain and grain
products was such to indicate that they
could stand an advance without injustice 10
shippers. The railroads had been getting
miserable rates on east-bound business, but
the times of financial depression had passed
and the railroads thought they should share
