A DECREASE In TONNAGE
THE CAR SHORTAGE WAS FELT Sc
RIoUsLY By ALL LINES.
Independent Position of the r. & t. III.
The Low capitalization of the
Pennsylvania Lines.

The train records show that there were
received and forwarded at Indianapolis in
the week ended Nov. 10 total of Is. l9S cars.
2O,O43 being loaded. 3.576 fewer loaded cars
than were handled at Indianapolis in the
week ending Nov. and 2,134 fewer than
in the corresponding week of 1899. While
the decrease in the loaded car movement
Is attributable largely 10 the increasing
car shortage. doubtless the heavy business
OF the preceding week was due to the
heavier shipments of grain and provisions
in anticipation of an advance in east-bound
rates, which. IL reports are true did not
become effective with Chicago roads. Now
that the lake vessels are no longer a factor
in the east-bound grain movement it is ex-
pected that prices will so adjust themselves
that shipments of grain will improve. Ship
ments of dressed meats. produce and live
stock are heavier than last month. and the
movement Of provisions TO Southern and
Southeastern States is heavy. West-bound
traffic is lighter and lower class traffic is
heavy. Hard and soft coal and coke.
heavy groceries and holiday goods are i'm
portant features OF the business handled,
consequently cars in both directions are
quite equally loaded. The empty car move
ment is comparatively small. The Big
Four lines proper handled at this point
last week 755 fewer loaded cars than in the
corresponding week of 1899, the Pennsyl-
vania lines 752, the Vandala 1S2; In fact,
the Indiana, Decatur & Western and the
ST. Louis and Cleveland divisions of the
Big Four were the only lines out of the
fifteen that received and forwarded more
loaded cars than in the corresponding week
last year. In the early part of the week,
on account OF the election, local business
was light, but improved the last half of
the week. The table below shows the num-
Der OF loaded cars handled at this point
for the week ending Nov. 10 and for the
corresponding weeks of 1899 and 1898:

the different stages of the stride were en-
tirely different from the way they looked

subjects were apparently on the verge of
falling down. All of them We're ungainly

fact during the presidential campaign,
when the illustrated journals We'd with

they appeared in the heat OF the battle.
The result has been painful, not to say har-

Bryan Jared slightly better, but his snap
shots make him look like a patent medi-
cine vender with an attack OF St. Vitus'
dance. They bear no more resemblance to
the great Nebraskan than they do to the
man in the moon. All the minor figures in
the campaign are correspondingly ma

for their low capitalization. The Eastern
lines are capitalized at $4,000 per mile in
bonds and $4,000 per mile in stock, and on
this capitalization of $4,000 per mile the

AS left the bank, where had been
most cordially received, with my SOW
ereign purse full and the nice crisp
notes for f250 carefully put by In my
pocketbook, began at last to believe
in my fortune. There Is solid, unmis-
taxable reality in the chink Of good
gold, while the supple civility Of the
great fnanciers, who had so lately
looked black at my overdrawn account,
proved how completely my position
was changed.
The mornings adventures and sur
prises had occupied much time, and 1t
was now getting late; past noon, In
fact We members Of the Intelligence"
made it point Of honor to be in good
time at the Otfice-an hour or more
earlier than this. 1t had hardly occur
red to me that need not so to the Of

Increased Number to Take Part In the Pres.
identIaI Election.

luentldl EIeCti0H.
A Washington dispatch Of Sept. 2t
says: Ten years ago the census showed
a total Of $4,000 taxed and taxable In.
dians having the right Of suffrage as
citizens Of the different states. Ninety
eight per cent. of these were living up
on the reservations and were practical
ly undistinguishable from the white
citizens Of their community.
The breaking up Of more reser7a-
tions will increase the number Of taxa
BILE Indians this census, and 1t Is possi-
BILE that nearly every red man in the
country will be enfranchised before
the presidential election of 1904.
OF the 100000 Indians in the United
States the most considerable and i'm
portant body are the 10000 belonging
to the five civilized tribes In the In
dian Territory and still living under a
tribal government. These tribal crgan-
izations are breaking up, the Creeks
and Choctaws having already signed
an agreement to. allot their territory
and become citizens Of the United
States. The Cherokees have set linn
it, which has nearly expired, to their
tribal existence, and the Chickasaws
and Seminoles are being treated with
by the Dawes commission, which has
been working there as agent for the
Federal government for six years.
These Indians will be found to be fa-
miliar with the duties Of citizenship
when it comes and familiar with the
machinery Of elections.
But those Indians from the small re-
servations, scattered from Maine to
California and making up total Of
81. 900, will come to the ballot, after
enfranchisement, ignorant both of Its
method and purpose. They have been
in the most literal sense, wards Of the
central government, and their only idea
of civil control has come from the ra-
tion issuing agents and soldier police.
