RAILROAD OFFICIALS HAVE AR
RANGED NEW PLAN.
HOW FREIGHT MUST BE PACKED
Changes Do Not Alter Previous CLASH
fcation But the Railroad Will
Charge for the Full Capacity
of the Car.
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Dec Exchanges in the
official freight classification affecting
several hundred articles, have been
adopted by the trunk line railroads and
will take effect on January l.
The classification committee of the
trunk lines some time ago took up the
annual revision of the schedule. The
work has now been completed and the
classificatio will soon be made public.
Most of the changes do not alter pre-
vious classification: they consist prnci-
pally of the addition or elimination of
specifications as to how the merchandise
affected shall be packed, etc, of changes
in the minimum carload weights and of
the application Of certain new rules.
Explaining the Schedule.
All of these changes, however, refer
in a greater or less extent, to the rates
This is especially true Of the new rule
which governs the charges to be made
on carload shipments according to the
length of the car. This regulation. it is
claimed, was put in the classification, so
as to yield a larger revenue to the rail-
roals on such shipments.
To illustrate: When the minimum car
load weight provided in the classifica-
foot long is furnished, the railroa DIS will
charge for not less than $4,000 pounds.
II the car is IS feet long, the charge will
be for not less than $4,000 pounds and
so on.
Many articles have been made subject
to this rule, among them agricultural
implements and parts thereof, apple or
fruit butter, churns, cork ships, and
cork wood, berry crates, creameries and
coolers, traction engines. firkins and
kits, furniture and vehicles.
List of Articles Affected.
Another practically new provision
which affects packing house products
is as follows:
When any of the following specified
articles are shipped by one packer or
owner at one time to consignee and des-
tination in either straight or mixed car
loads and the aggregate weight of the
entire shipment is Is, 900 pounds or more,
the carload rate for 100 pounds apply
ing on such articles shall be changed.
Then follows the list Of articles af-
fected, such as beef and pork products
thereof
If the aggregate weight of these arti-
cles," the rule continues, docs not equal
the required minimum of $4,000 pounds,
sufficient weight shall be added to the
weights thereof to make up the def
cheney. The other articles loaded in the
same car with those described above,
will be charged for less than the car
load rate authorized for such articles
and the weight thereof shall not be APP
piled towards making up the required
Is, 900 pounds"

Independence Will He Iate.

Those in control of the cup candidate the
Independence, building in East Boston, do
not believe that she will be in the water
much before May 10. and after that there
will be world of things that will require
attention before she is given a trial
The opportunities offered to early test
the speed of the Independence will be mea-
ger when compared with those of the Con-
sti,ution. The latter's manager will have
the Columbia at the bidding and no better
trial boat ever foated
Under these conditions the Independence
will be at much disadvantage. What merits
the Boston boat will really possess can
only be ascertained when in company with
other known fast boats. AS the case now
stands that will be impossible in any rec
ognized manner in the New York Yacht
Club races or during the annual cruise.
The Constitutions manager, Mr.. W. But
Ter Duncan. jr.. viii race that yacht when
ever opportunity offers. He will prefer to
race off Newport rather than in any other
waters so far as her trials are concerned,
but he has said that whenever a club offers
cup for the nfnety-footers his boat will
be entered and with her the Columbia, IL
there are no objections to the course.
So il the management of the Independ-
ence is as desrous of trying its boat as Mr..
Duncan Is to race the Constitution, her
entry will be found alongside Of the others
and she will be at the starting line in all
available races. The Constitution will
gladly meet all comers. Mr.. Duncan has
no racing favorites.

The Anacostia Car Service.

10 tne Editor OF Ihe Evening star:
notice a letter from "Jno. W. Hodgson"
in Tuesday evenings issue on the Anacos-
tia car service, in which he asserts we are
worse served than when the horse cars
We're in use. I will say I'm rebuttal that the
Anacostians are well pleased at the won
derful change over the old-time "get-out-
and-push" arrangement. The new service
is as superior to that as the coming modes
of propulsion to be used in this century
will be to those now in use. The schedule
would allow Of some improvement but We
are willing to give the syndicate a chance,
and if they do in the future on the line of
Improvement as they have in the past our
friend on Carroll Hill will have no room
for censure. / might make a suggestion
that the company run cars closer together
during busy morning and evening hours
and also hurry up that cross-town line on
1lth street, east or west, on Capitol Hill.

ALkALI FOUND IN MARYLAND.
An Interesting Discovery Made by
Prof whitney

In discussing the occasional occurrence
of alkal in humid regions, MIR. Frank X
Cameron, in an Agricultural Department
bulletin, cites a case in Maryland. He
says:
early in May, 1900, while on a risit to
the Maryland experiment station at Col
lege Park, Md, Prof Whitney observed
dark stain or crust alongside the dirt road
way running through one of the fields of
the stations grounds. small sample was
brought to the laboratory of this division,
and on examination gave such remarkable
results as to make more thoro1gn eN-
animation seem desirable. On request, PROF.
w. T. l.. Taliaferro of the Maryland Agri-
cultural College kindly collected a sample
for us. 1t consisted of a dark-brown- col
ored crust taken from the surface of the
soil to a depth of one-eighth of an inch. 1t
was carefully separated from the soil be-
meath with sharp-cutting chisel The
sample was taken from various spots on the
dirt road as ii crossed the field and out
side the wheel tracks. The road had been
made by scraping with a road machine the
soil from the neighboring fields and throw
ing 1t in the center being subsequently
shaped. The road material, therefore,
might be expected to be the same as the
soil of the contiguous field, but so far as
we have been able to learn nothing like the
crust we have examined has been observed
on the surface of the field itself.
1T appears that this crust contains
nearly per cent of readily water soluble
salts, more than enough to chara cterize the
soil as an alkali soil if it had been found
in the arid regions. 1t would certainly FRO
hibit the growth of any of our ordinary
crops The origin of this material is not
evident, for informed that these
fields had not been fertilized, at least re-
Gently, and certainly with no such large
amounts these analyses would indicate.
We have, then, as far can be seen. no
special conditions to account for this he
nomenon. and it follows that alkalr condi-
tions can occur even in humid regions. The
idea suggests itself that possibly this phe-
nomenon may occur much more frequently
than has been suspected hitherto and that
it would be well in the future to look for
its occurrence in humid areas and closely
observe the accompanying conditions as to
weather, climate. SOIL moisture, ETC."
