Ban johnson Talks of the American
League Situation.

President Ban Johnson, of the American
League. was in Cleveland last week and
settled the final details for the baseball
grounds for the American League club.
Mr.. Johnson would not ten what the con-
sideration for the lease of the field was,
but 1T is understood that the Robisons were
paid slightly in excess of $4,000 for a five
year lease of their field. Both Frank and
Stanley Robson are now out of the game
for good in Cleveland. A strong American
League team will be placed in Cleveland
in fact. a much stronger team will repre-
sent the Forest City the coming season
than was the case last year, when Cleve-
land was a member of the National League.
McAleer will manage the team for Somers
and Kilfoyle. and the fans in the Ohio city
will probably see faster ball thar they
have since the departure of Tebeau's
tramps.
practically every detail for the season
is settled said President Johnson, in Chi
ule. OF course, we wanted to fix up our
leases and sign the players before we made
up our schedule. Charles Comiskey is
working hard to get a strong team together
for Chicago, and there will be some fast
ball-playing seen on the South Side the
coming season. He is getting his grounds
in shape rapidly, and he viii have the most
convenient park in Chicago. Everything
is booming along the line, and / expect
to see the most prosperous season In the
history of the league =

Traffic on Pennsylvania Lines.

The Pennsylvania system. including all
lines owned, operated or controlled by or
affiliated in interest with the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, embracing 9,2S7 miles Of
road, is the largest American system.
Even this total does not include the Terre
Haute & Indianapolis, or the Terre Haute
& Peoria roads, which are operated by a
receiver. Referring TO the freight traffic in
1899 it is said that. although in 1ss7-only
thirteen years ago-the Pennsylvania was
no small system, it's business has more
than doubled within the interval. Since
1881 it mas increased three-fold. What the
Pennsylvania has accomplished In tins
field may be summed up in a sentence or
two. In 1899 II carried 10, sos, 000, 900 tons of
600, 600 tons in 1887; II secured average earn
ings per ton mile of only Alb mills. as COM
pared with I.30 mills; 1t was able to do the
business at an average cost per ton mile
of 3.4 mills, as against 497 mills; and, ac-
cordingly, it made net earnings of 1.2
mills, as against 2.33 mills. All told, the
lines east of Pittsburg and Erie last year
increased their tonnage mileage Is per
cent, with an increase of 1912 per cent. in
the train mileage. Including all OF the
Eastern lines operated directly, the ton
mileage of 1899 was 0,S95, 100000. as COM
pared with 9.214. 100000 in 1895. and the
freight train mileage was %, 147.0 900, as COM
pared with 20.952, 600. the average freight
train load standing at All tons. as against
3T5 tons the year before. Every division
shows a noteworthy Improvement in this
ment. On the New Jersey division the
average train load was raised from 351 tons
TO 400 tons, on the Pennsylvania division
from $50 to 464 tons, and on the Philadel-
phia & Erie division from 437 to 500 tons.
These items are at once striking and sig
nificant.

TRAFFIC STILL HEAVY
THE OF FREIGHT LARGE
FOR THE MONTH Of MARCH.
Freight business of the Pennsylvania
Lines Increased ThreefoId Since
1SS1-GeneraI Notes.

In no former year has the volume OF
freight traffic been as heavy in March as
this season. and the third week of the
month was no exception. there being re-
ceived and forwarded at indianapolis a
total of 1854 cars. 21.i56 being loaded. In
the corresponding week of 1899 there were
handled at this point 2O.719: in 1898. 1854:
in 1897, 1889; in 1886. 1862; in 1895. 1928;
in 1894, 1876 loaded cars. The empty car
movement last week also was larger than
usual. and there seems to be a demand
for all classes of cars. The advance in
grain rates of April 2 is so slight that it
did not increase grain shipments last
week to the extent expected; still, east
bound business in the aggregate is heavy.
In the way OF provisions, produce. dressed
meats, live stock, fertilizers, hides, veneer
ings and hardwood lumber shipments are
quite heavy. West-bound business is more
or less affected by delays in movement Of
cars over the trunk lines. caused by the
severe snowstorm of week before last.
Each day is now showing an increase in
west-bound tonnage. At the present time
shipments of agricultural and harvest i'm
plements are quite heavy, also of carriages
and other bulky freights. A large tonnage
of bituminous coal and coke Is still being
handled, and Of iron structural work, glass.
nails, gas and water pipe. which combined
a the tonnage Of low-class freights
heavier than usual. Local business con-
tinues to improve as the season for build
ing, making street improvements, ETC.,
comes on, and the bulk tracks. as we'll as
the city freight depots. are places of
marked activity Only those who frequent
such places for handling both light and
heavy freights can comprehend the i'm
mense volume of business done daily at
Indianapolis, and to this is to be added
the traffic OF the 2S4 private switches. The
table below shows the number of loaded
cars handled at this point for the week
ending March "a and for the corresponding
weeks of 1899 and 1898:

Beginning April / or a month later, West
Shore passenger trains, which are now
operated on the New York Central. be-
tween Hoffmans and Buffalo. will be re-
turned to the West Shore tracks. The Wa
bash management has protested strongly
against running West Shore trains on the
Central tracks. claiming that the West
Shore had practically lost it's identity. and
that In the west-bound through traffic the
West Shore was losing considerable business
owing to this state of affairs. The West
