These cars will carry about five times as
much as ordinary cars. Local officials
of the Pressed Steel Car company say
the car of larger capacity is rapidly
taking the place of the old regulation
car. Railroads are laying heavier steel
and truckage equipment on account of
the heavier rolling stock now coming
into use. 1t is figured that rs per cent
of this years orders booked by car BULL

T. G. Shaughnessy, president Of the
Z: p R, was asked last Wednesday
what he thought of the possibility of the
Canadian Pacific railway being acquired
by combination of United States cap
eminent ownership of railways in the
commons.
on, it is quite possible observed Mr..
Shaughnessy. There is nothing what
they have got the money, from buying
the stock of the c. P. R, which is FOR
sale in London and Montreal and on
Berlin and other continental bourses.
Having acquired the stock, there is moth
ing to prevent these gentlemen from
controlling the policy of the company
and exercising their control for the adj
Nancement Of United States interests.n

HELD IN ILL REPUTE
German Meat Inspection Law Has Made
No Friends.

Washington, March 1S.-The Ger
man meat inspection law, absolutely
prohibiting the Importation of Ameri-
can corned beef. sausages, etc. which
went into effect some time ago, has
made no friends according to a report
received at the state department from
United States Consul Diedrich at Bre-
men.
The law has been the object of very
severe criticism in Germany, accord
ing to the consul, and one of the most
pointed arguments against it has been
that it defeats its avowed purpose of
promoting public health, because the
resultant high prices on meat lessen
its consumption. while the health Of
the German nation demands an in
crease. The fact that the meat in
spection law has put the prices up is
a well established fact. according to
Consul iDedrich and especially among
the laborng classes is the loss of
American cOrned beef at a low figure
most strongly felt.

poIYGAMY BILL VETO UPHELD
Utah's Senate by Vote of to Susrains
the Governors Action.


the Governors Action.
Salt Lake City, March 1S.-Govern-
or Wells veto of the Evans bill for the
protection of polygamists has been sus-
tanned by the senate. By agreement
the question was not debated, but in
their speeches explaining their votes
the senators expressed their opinions
with freedom. The vote stood 8 for
the veto and against. Twelve votes
We're required to pass the bill over
the governors objections.
Senator Allison, a gentle Republic
an, who led the fight against the
measure, said he had predicted that
it's passage would create a storm of
diSapproval all over the nation. That
prediction had been verified. but the
veto had taken away 20 per cent. of
the sting. He prayed that no more
''such vicious legislation would ever
be considered by Utah legislature.
Senator Howard, Mormon Republic
an who had voted for the bill, changed
his position and declared for the veto.
He said he saw the storm the measure
had created, and while he thought
men who were married in polygamy
should be allowed to live with their
wives, he feared that evil conse-
quences might follow the passage OF
the bill Senator Whitney, a Mormon
bishop and Democrat. strongly urged
the passage of the bill over the veto.
He is an ex-polygamist.
The sentiment of the state is divided
as TO the propriety of the veto. The
MormonS with but few exceptions are
against it, The >gentiles loudly praise
the governor for the stand he made.
