Change i'm n. & o. Directorate.

Much speculation was INDUCED in at Bal
timore. yesterday, as TO the significance
attached to the changes made in the di-
rectorate of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road at it's annual meeting yesterday
Capt. John p. Green, first vice president
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company;
Charles III. Tweed chairman of the board
and second vice president of the Southern
Pacific Railway, and Martin Erdman, of
New York. were elected directors in the
places of j. Kennedy Tod, of New York;
Henry Clay Pierce, of ST. Louis, and Alex
ander Brown, of Baltimore. The full list of
con, Martin Erdman. John p. Green. Ed
ward III. Hartman, James j. Hill, Suther-
land NJ. Provost, Norman B. Ream, VIII
liam Solomon, Jacob III; Schiff, Charles
Steele, James Stillman, Charles III. Tweed.
By the election of Captain Green the
Pennsylvania representation in the Balti-
more az Ohio directorate is increased to
two, the other representative of the Balti-
more & Ohio's big competitor being Third
Vice President s. NJ. Provost In the per-
son of Mr.. Tweed the Southern Pacific
Railway obtains an important representa-
tive in Baltimore q Ohio affairs. He is
closely allied with the firm of Speyer &
Co, which financed the reorganization of
the Baltimore & Ohio, is also Mr.. Erd-
man. OF the old directors Mr.. Hartman
is not only a director in the Southern Pa
cific board but he is also chairman of the
board of the Oregon Railroad and Naviga-
ton Company and president of the Oregon
Short-line Railroad. Mr. Hill is president of
the Great Northern Railroad Thus five
out of the twelve Baltimore & Ohio drec-
tors are important officers of other promi-
nent lines.
No Marylanders are now left I'm the Balti-
more & Ohio board excepting the two of
fetal representatives of the State, who are
ex-senator Arthur p German and Col l..
Victor Baughman. 1t was stated after the
buSin9SG pH
besides the election of directors was the
discussion of the annual report, which has
already been published. Mr.. Samuel Salo-
mon, chairman of the board, who presided
at the meeting, declined to discuss the sig
nificance of the entrance of another Penn
sylvania official into the Baltimore & Ohio
board, but Ii is understood that the pres
ence OF both Mr.. Green and Mr.. Provost
means that the two systems will work to-
gether in harmony, and that rate wars are
practically things of the past.

RATES FOR MERCHANTS
WESTERN ROADS WILL FOLLOW THE
TRUNK LINES IN THE NATTER.
Roads Planning Extensive Improve
ments-Trunk Lines to Discontinue
Sale OF Clergy Tickets.

Although they have fought against such
concessions for two years. and although
each one granted is put down as the last,
the Trunk-line Association, at a recent
meeting, decided to give a rate of a fare
and one-third TO the Merchants Exchange
of New York for its regular spring excur-
sion, the object being to induce business.
This is cue TO the other associations
and TO the other commercial centers, ard
from now on similar requests will he beard
from all the cities of the middle West for a
like privilege. The Central Passenger As
ISOLATION, the Western Passenger Associa-
ton and the Southern Passenger Associa-
ton usually follow the trunk lines in
this matter, arguing that If New York,
which is always protected from low rates,
is open the other associations are in duty
bound to protect the commercial centers
in which they are interested, hence they
form into line and name the same rate.

GOAL FAMINE:
Dfeary Outlook for the Approaching
 Wlater-Fr0m Many Causes.

There is a great possibility of a continaed and even augmented scarcity of coal during the eomiag wir ter, remarked a prominent coal operator at Little Rock, recently This is due to the spirit of unrest t among the coal miners of the cosn- try. Dewn in Alabama 10, ,000 hare gone out on sttike9making de. mand for 20 per cent advance for digging and 10 per cent advance for outside labor. The disaffection ap- pears to he spreading to the various coal districts of the south, and there are conditions which teed to aggra- vate rather than ameliorate tbe evil.
 "The conference held some time ago at Fort Smith arri~ed at 10 defnite decision looking to aa ad- jastment Of the differences. It was tacitly agreed that an advance of % cents per ton for digging should be demanded, and Of 10 cents Q day for outside labor. This was not, how ever, formulated into an express demand, aud, in fact the conference adjourned leaving it's work=ln an unfinished condition.
 "The government report shows shortage of 300, 600 tons in the out put of 1899 as eomoared with the proceeding year, Should the worst fears of the operators De realized, the shortage for the present year would be even greater. None of the mines are able to get sufficient number of men to work regularly, and especially the larger mines have been most seriously handicapped in this respect. The numerous wars and the increased amount of raj way budding has seriously decimated the mining camps of the country, and with the strikes have left tt e operators unabl1 to keep up the supply and to meet the demands of the public. ,
