BIGGEST RAILROAD CENTER.
Chicago Holds the Record with l,4Oo
 Trains Arriving and Depart ing Daily.

New York Sun.
 Along with the consolidation of railroad interests which has been going on in the United States during the last five years. there has been a general consolidation or terminal facilities ir the large cities with view of serving the convenience of travellers in the matter of transfers and changes. s..
 Although the railroad business Of Amer ican cities does not vary in accordance with the population, being relatively large, for instance In Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City, and relatively small In Philadelphia, Boston and San Francisco. the competition among cities as to the number of trains arriving and leaving has continued for many years without dis- placing Chicago at the head of the list.
 The Union Station at St. Louis, the pioneer Union Station in the West ham, died 5000, 900 passengers in year. though the number of trains arriving and depart ing daily does not exceed 215 .,.
 Boston has two, big union stations. the North Union, which handles 600 trains day. and the Boston Terminal. which ham dles more than 700. The average number of passengers in a year in the former is g, 900 900 and in the latter 21,0O0,o0o.
 At the Grand Central Station in New York about $50 trains arrive and leave each day and the total number of passen- gers who utilize this station is now about 15, o0o,0 ,0e0 year.
 All records in respect\to railroad trains arriving and departing. are broken by the City of Chicago, which, at it's five chief stations. the Illinois Central. the North west, the Union. the Van Buren Street. and the Dearborn, has an average daily record of 1 1400trains. No other Anne. ican city has so many.

 The Michigan beet sugar manufacturers have protested against the removal of the diffeYential on refined sugar .and thus have cut the ground out from under the feet of the Michigan Senators, who have no basis of trade with the Democrats and who. besides that. are good party men after all.

 As 1t takes at least sixty days fer . cargo to come from Java to the Uniteo States, Senator Teller's statement amounts practically to threat that . fiIituster will be inau9urated to prevent 2 vote on the Cuban bin.
 The administration Senators recognize that they arc confronted by compact, aggressive and probably successful Or ganization. Their only alternative at present is u prolong the debate on the Philippine bill in the hope that some thipE. may turn m h>ts.een now and lure 1 which win enable them to improve their nosition. That something. they ad- caused a ,snarl In the Fhiliupine pre- ceedinrs which is responsible fer the ex- isting delay ty persuadiny Senasor Spcoa- CT to put off his speech to as late day as possible. Half of the Democratic Sen ators who have not vet spoken do not care to speak until Spooner makes his speech. Therefore, every day that Spoon- CT delays is a distinct loss of time in ar- irving at an agreement for voting on the bill.
 The Senate had to adjourn this after noon shortly after o'clock. because no Senator was ready to speak on the pend ing business.
 The Presidents friends are much cha Rrined at the outlook and privately feel that the President is more responsible for it than any other person. They feel that the administration is about to suf- fer crushing and humiliating defeat which may entail grave consequences to the Republican party.
