RAILROADS NOW PROSPEROUS.
Striking Contrast Between Their Presen
and Past Conditions.

Striking Contrast Between Their Present
and Past Conditions.
Chicago, Oct. 19.-Poore's Manual
Of Railroads, which is devoted to the
presentation of railroad statistics and
which is wholly bipartisan in charac-
ter, has given some striking statistics
Of the railroad tonnage Of the United
States from 1887 to 1899. The rail
way unit is the ton-mile-one ton of
freight carried one mile and the show
ing in Republican days of prosperity.
in Democratic years Of distress and
again in Republican years of prosperi-
ty is exceedingly striking. The ton
miles carried at different periods fol-
low:
Ton miles,. Ton miles.
1892 ...730, Cos, O11|1S97 ..7sS,3S5,44S
1894 ...674, ia, 747I 1899 ...975, 1885, 41
The table shows that, in free trade
times, the quantity Of freight trans
ported actually diminished, while nat
urally the population of the country
increased. When home markets were
restored by the policy of protection
the freight carried by the roads inn
nlediately* increased, the 1899 record
being nearly one-third greater than in
the hard time year 1894.

Wages Generally Increased,

Washington. Oct. 19.-Carrol1 D.
Wright, commissioner Of labor, has is
sued a bulletin showing the rate Of
wages in various occupations, for a
period extending back to 1891. The
data was secured directly from the
pay rolls of establishments in all sec
tons of the country. It pertains to
148 Establishments, representing TWEEN
industries and 1872 other occupations.
The comparison follows:
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1900-10-20

DuEing the years IN Which thecOurse
of wages declined, the rates of 1891
and 1892 in many instances remained
unchanged, and in like manner during
the last few years, in which the gen.
eral course of wages has been upward,
the wages in these instances have not
responded to the general rise. In other
instances the per cent. of decrease was
notably large during the years Of
depression, while during the last two
years of the period the reverse is true,
and a much larger increase really took
place than that indicated by the table.

order for 10000 tons of steel rails at

HE MERELY oBeYEO ORDERS.
But the Man ut the Wheel Almost
Wrecked the Nccsel.

Captain rom Evans, of the Neptune
Line steamer Runo, has indelibly i'm
pressed upon his memory name that
lie will ever consider has elements of
danger In 1t. Coming down the coast
on Oct. 81, bound from Rotterdam for
Baltimore, all hands, except the man
ut the wheel, were engaged furnishing
up the bright work about the decks. to
have the Runo look attractive when she
reached Baltimore. On the forecastle
was man named West, who was
wanted TO join the brass polishers aft.
The Runo at the time was steamlng
her best on course southwest by west,
Cape Charles lightshlp bearing on the
starboard bow. The second officer had
left the bridge, and Captain Evans
took the deck during his absence.
Learning that the man West was want
ed, Captain Evans shouted WEST"
and went down to the lower bridge.
Ii appeared to him to be but few
minutes when he looked over the side,
and, 10 his horror, discovered that the
Runo had Cape Charles lightship and
Hog Island on her port bow. Such a
position was inconceivable to him, and
lie rushed to the bridge and ordered the
wheelman to change the course as
speedily as possible 10 almost east. Sat
istied with her safe position, the south
west.by-west course was again re-
sumed.
Then Captain Evans demanded Of
the man in no uncertain language why
lie dared TO change the vessels course
which would have run her on the low
shores of Virginia within a short time
The man was surprised that the master
should ask such a question, which did
not improve Captain Toms humor af-
ter his recovery from scare. The man
said the Captain changed the course
himself. Then came the revelation.
When Capt. Evans shouted West"
10 the man on the forecastle the man
M the wheel took il as an order from
the master to change the course, and he
did so by bringing her up three points,
which put the bow directly inshore and
steaming AZ good speed for the dan
Gerous shoals off the coast. 1t would
not have been long before bottom
would have been found.
Capt. Evans says he will never have

as either North, South, East or West.
