THE ERIE TAKES ACTION
ITS OFFICIALS REPUDIATE THE
JOINT PASSENGER AGREEMENT.
Return of P%ierpont Morgan and w. n.
Vanderbilt Expected to Disclose
TruthfuIness of Rumors.

The Erie Railroad has given notice
through the general passenger agent Of
its intention to withdraw from the joint
passenger agreement. as a result of TIE
joint passenger committees failure to
take decisive action on the matter of ex-
cess fares. The Erie is one of the differen-
tial roads which has been Directing siren
uously to the goads on the matter of diff
ferentials, believing that the standard
roads have been surrounding the differen-
tial lines with burdensome letters. One of
the demands recently made by the differen-
tia1 lines was that the standard roads
either slow down their passenger trains.
or allow the diferential roads to run faster
trains. In case this was not done, which 1t
was thought they would hardly concede,
the differential lines wanted the others to
charge excess fares from way points and
on west-bound trains, to even UP matters
The joint passenger committee, in its ses-
sion recently, took up the matter. but
failed to come to an agreement upon 1t.
Now all are waiting for the action of
the presidents. If the presidents shift the
question or fail to meet the demands of
the diferential lines, there is a possibility
Of a breakup in the joint passenger agree
ment that will turn pandemonium loose on
the railroad world. The Erie appears not
TO be alone In this matter, for it seems to
be backed up by the other diferential lines
which are fighting against the goads
fiercely.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CHICAGO, June 14-Jack Katol's superb
pitching defeated the Indianapolis team
to-day. Only four singles were made off
his delivery and one of these should not
have gone safe as it was not a hard
chance. Hoy Inc Brodie both went after the
ball, but owing to Hoy's deafness, he could
not hear the shout for him to take 1T and
the ball fell safe between the two felders.
Chicago made only five hits OFF Dammann,
but two of them were doubles and, coupled
With Hickey's errors, they were enough to
win the game without difficulty. Magoon
played a brilliant game and mad one
beautiful stop of a hot liner, although he
could not recover in time to catch the
runner at first. Katoll was inclined to be
wild at times and gave six bases on balls,
but the champions could not make the
hits needed to bring in runs.
The biggest weekday crowd of the sea-
son turned out to see the game, although
1t was better weather for football than the
national game. Two double plays were
among the fielding features. the work in
the field being remarkably fast and clean
cut, with the exception Of that of Hickey,
who threw wild and failed to field ground
ers clearly. TIL big crowd cheered both
teams for their good work, but the game
was not of a nature to arouse great enthusi-
asm owing to the lack of batting features.
The Indianapolis team seemed unable to get
the ball out Of the infield when a hit was
most needed, while C~hicago's hits were few
and far between. The contest was a pitch
ers' battle from the start. For a cold day
the twirling was way above par. Dammann
was effective. but Katoll turned on full
voltage and fairly whistled the ball across
the plate. Tomorrow Denzer, another
speedy pitcher, will be tried. Fisher is
slated for Saturday and Katoll will go in
again on Sunday. To-day's victory makes
seven straight for Chicago. Score:

~Trunk-Line Rumors.

1t Is expected that the return of J. Pier
pont Morgan and w. K. Vanderbilt from
Europe within the next few days will
soon be followed by the disclosure of the
actual facts relative to the current trunk
line rumors. The future of the Reading,
the Lehigh Valley and the Jersey Central
Is concerned in these rumors. Mr.. Morgan,
more than any other man, is in a position
to tell what is to be done with the Reading
and the Lehigh Valley, and as soon as Mr..
Vanderbilt resumes his business activity
such important trunk line changes as have
been planned will doubtless be brought to
a focus. Signs that something unusual
was going on in connection with the three
railroad properties named have been visi-
BILE for several weeks. The favorite theory
of the rumor makers Is that there is to be
a division of the coal carrying roads be-
tween the Vanderbilt and the Pennsylvania
interests. Whether either the Vanderbilts
or the Pennsylvania will take actual ply
ing or the Lehigh Valley is a question
about which there is doubt. Under the
laws. of Pennsylvania forbidding the con-
solidation of parallel n competing lines
the Pennsylvania is debarred from taking
direct control of the Reading. 1t is re-
garded as practically assured that the
Pennsylvania relations to the Reading
will be similar to. it's relations with the
Baltimore e. Ohio and the Norfolk &
Western, viz, as a large and influential
stakeholder. The Jersey Central IL is be-
lived will be brought into the trunk line
fold on the Community Of ownership"

officials representing the General Traffic
Association and other roads east-bound
out Of st. Louis, met at the trunk-line
headquarters in New York. yesterday. for
the purpose, 1t was declared, of adopting
some means to prevent further rate-cut-
ting east-bound from Chicago and st.
Louis. This phase of the railroad freight
situation has. admittedly, reached an
acute stage, the competition Of the steam
ship lines along the lakes running TO
Buffalo having seriously interfered with
the freight business of the railroads. The
railroad representatives held two sessions,
that of the morning being presided over by
Commissioner Goddard. The afternoon ses-
sion was rather protracted, but, so far as
could be learned, no definite conclusion
was arrived at.
James McCrea, first vice presid mt of the
Pennsylvania lines west of Pftts)urg, said
OF the meeting: "There was a general dis
cussion of the rate situation. II SEEMED to be
the consensus Of opinion that rates were
in fairly good condition, but that affairs in
general admit of further Improvement. We
reached no definite conclusion" Other Of
ficials intimated that a tentative plan for
settling existing difficulties has been form
ulated. but that the situation still re-
NAMED in doubt. 1t is believed that anoth-
er meeting of these same interests will be
held shortly.

CHINESE SECRET SOCIETIES.
A Great Power Whose Ways No White
Man Understands.
New Orleans

New Orleans Times-Democrat-
"Apropos of the Boxer outrages In
China" said a gentleman Of this city who
have given a good deal of study to Orien-
tai customs, IL don't believe II is possible
for an American to fully grasp the in
tricacies of Chinese secret societies j have
been intimately associated with local mis-
sion work for a dozen or more years and
have become very we'll acquainted with
a number of educated Cinnamon, who have
endeavored TO explain the system. but IL Is
still a profourd mystery to me. All the
great 'tongs, or societies, have a certain
afiliation. and the power they WELD is SIM
ply amazing. Some years ago. to give you
an illustration, a very decent Chinaman
named Lee Wung. who belonged TO the
local colony. was badly swindled by a
partner in a shrimpery On the lake. Tho
fellow sold out the concern and went away
with the money, presumably TO China 1t
seemed like a hopeless case, but Wung
was a man OF some influence In ms own
particular hui or branch society. and he
made an appeal to the head men of the
tong to which the absconder belonged.
They were located In San Francisco. and
after a lengthy correspondence they I'm
some manner reached the rascal and made
him disgorge. At any rate Wung got part
of his money. and the natives who had
bought the shrimpery quietly vacated. That
case is well known here and greatly aston
ished a shrewd New Orleans lawyer who
represented the purchasers Everything
was arranged through the societies, but
how IL was done and on what basis OF
equity nobody knows outside OF the nego-
tiators. One thing is certain the final de-
cree of the chiefs of any of the orders Is
invariably obeyed to the letter. On several
occasions that I call TO mind members
OF the New Orleans colony nave quarreled
among themselves, hired lawyers and TAX
en- their trouble into the magistrates
courts, when suddenly their society would
intervene. an order would go forth and the
affair would be dropped like a red hot coal.
Where such sinister and unquestionablc
authority resides, who exercises IL and how
IL is administered are things beyond the
ken OF the white barbarian"
