Since the assassination Of Mr. Me-
ktnley there has sprsng up strong
seatimen, aud protest against the
time honored custom indl,ged Ia by
our Presidents Of shaking hands.
Many have long coutended that the
custom was useless. and that IL placed
too great a burden upon the man
who stands for hours graspirg the
hand. Of those fling past II is a
pretty cnstom and were there no
chance FOR danger in il. il might be
followed Il the President is equal to
the task. II is true that il brings
the President closer TO the people. II
makes those who touch his hand feel
that they know him better, but they
might be foregone in the interest Of
the Presidents safety. All the hand-
shaking in the world cannot make up
Tor the life Of the man who was shot
by the creature who found opp0rtu-
nifty for his miserable deed in this
custom. II is not that a President
need fear the American people. Mr.
Mckinley and Mr. Garfield both
ignored warnings, saying that they
felt safe in the presence Of their peo-
pie. The danger lies in the fact that
thus the fanatical disciples Of anarchy
are enabled TO reach the presence %
their victims. And the difficulty
lies in the consciousness that no
amount Of pFecsution can avail. The
time hiss come for sober thought. II
our Presidents will not believe that
they are in danger aad persist in cx-
posing themselves In their simple
faith in their people, they should be
made 60 remember that their people
would rather have them protected
than 20 enjoy the dangerous pleasure
Of coming into personal contact with
them. ln other wouls there are two
ways Of booking at the matter Oui

on foreign roads unnecessarily, often
lying empty at a way station for weeks,
earning nothing for anybody. By the
new plan it is hoped to remedy this,
as Il railroad with a foreign car on its
lines will be charged for every day il
is thus detained. The natural ten
dency viii be to keep the rolling stock
in action
The car shortage all over the coun-
try is still serious. The result is seen
in the heavy orders for cars being
placed by roads all over the country.
Superintendent of Motive Power J. F..
Dunn Of the Oregon Short Line. has
gone TO Pittsburg to inspect the heavy
steel cars ordered recently from the
Pressed Steel Car company. The order
of the Rio Grande for 1000 freight cars.
twenty passenger cars and forty loco
motives was chrOnicled last week. Now
come the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany with an order for 1900 pressed
steel cars, the Northern Pacific
with an order for fifty i'm
mense locomotives. thirty-fOur
passenger cars. six baggage cars, 1900
ballast cars, and thirty CabOOses. the
Missouri Pacific with an order for fifty
four freight ears. the Colorado & Wy
oming with an order for three passen-
ger and baggage cars, the Southern
Pacific with a demand for 100 tank
ears to handle the California oil bus
mess, the Chicago & Northwestern with
an option on fifty locomotives, and
other roads placing orders for equip
ment in proportion

HARRIMAN-HILL SETTLEMENT
Basis Upon Which the Differences
Are Adjusted.
lSDecIal ID ID HeraId.l

Chicago, Nov. 4-L0cal railway and
financial circles were stirred today by
an announcement coming from an Off
Cial and thoroughly reliable source that
a settlement OF the differences between
the Burlington, Great Northern, North
eTn Pacific and Union Pacific cOmpa-
MES is practically arranged. A COM
promise arrangement has been made, it
is announced, in which j. j. Hill, Har-
riman & Kuhn, Loeb & Co., represent
ing the domestic shareholders, are all
apparently satisfied.
The change is to be brought about
in all its essential details early next
week Messrs. Hill and Hartman, as
sisted by a New York banking house
will form a security company Of which
Hill will be the president. The direc-
tory viii include the Hartman &
Kuhn. Loeb & Co. party, and the or
ganiza; ion viii embrace all Of the
stock and bonds Of the Northern Pa
cific, Great Northern and Burlington
railways. The Union Pacific will have
a One-third interest in the combination
coming in because of its holdings Of
the common stock Of the Northern Pa
cific All of the companies will have
allotted to them a certain territory IN
which to control traffic No change
viii be made in the amount or denom-
nation values except in the single in
stance Of the preferred issue of the
Northern Pacific stock, which will be
retired by a AZ per cent bond on a
basis somewhere between lis and 120.
