Railways to own Ship Trust.

The news from London that some of the
large American railway systems are TO
be the owners OF the steamship combina-
ton has been confirmed in trustworthy
quarters, says the NV York Evening Post
of last night. Efforts are being made.
however. TO keep the matter as secret as
possible says the Post, because of the
opposition which has been stirred up abroad
and which might arise here in case the
facts were known in regard to the owner
ship of the steamship companies. II is
admitted in well-informed quarters that 1t
is planned to make the ocean lines feeders
TO the largest railroad transportation COM
panies of the United States, so that 1t will
be possible to control rates from the prin-
cipal interior points Of this country TO lead
ing European c%enters. Several large railroad
companies, supposed to be Eastern trunk
lines, are represented in the underwriting
syndicate for 100000 which has just
been formed to guarantee the success of the
steamship deal, and these are supposed
to be the Pennsylvania, the New York
Central. the Erie. the Reading and the b.
q o., although there is some doubt whether
all of these will come in. In regard to the
railroads il should be said that their under
writing does not necessarily imply that
they have officially subscribed as yet to
the syndicate. but subscriptions have been
entered which are intended for them, and
those who have taken them are agents for
the railroads."

The provision market is very active. The

making bitter profits than under old condi-

meats.

Notwithstanding denials that have been
made that there is a movement on foot to
combine the interests of the Louisville &
Nashville and the Chicago, Indianapolis &
Louisville railroads. the New York Herald
declares that, from a source of high
authority, it has learned negotiations for
the consolidation of these roads are pend
ing and that a definite statement of the de-
tailed plan will be forthcoming at no dis
tant date. President McDoel. of the Mo-
non, who denied. on Monday. that his road
would be controlled by the Louisville &
Nashville. at the same time admitted that
il would be for the mutual benefit of both
roads if they were operated in harmony.
Under such an arrangement the Louisville
& Nashville would have a direct inlet to
Chicago and "A net system. with almost a
direct line from LAX Michigan TO the Gulf
of Mexico, would be established, with about
\ 700 miles of track.

DO ~INJUNCTIONS ENJOIN?
How the Court Is Obeyed, and Yet the
Order May BE Violated.
Railway Age.

Railway Age.
The injunction Of the courts in connection
with railroad rates has developed a new
practice, or. rather. a very much enlarged
one, which heretofore has been used only
occasionally. namely-the making of short
term tariffs. which suggests that possibly a
modification of the order of the court might
be of advantage. 1t appears to be a very
easy matter, in case a road wishes TO favor
a particular shipper, to give him the assur-
ance that at a certain tim a tariff quoting
a reduced rate, and running only for a
short period, will be issued. Under such a
plan the party favored with an advance no.
tice could make his arrangements for hand
ling a large amount OF traffic within a
stated period, for which a tariff could be is
sued TO correspond. As already stated, this
is not a new scheme, but it is one that
seems to be coming into use under the
new order of things.
According TO the terms of the induction.
the roads are e%njoined from accepting for
transportation any greater or less rate
than the rates named for such service in
it's established schedule in force on it's lines.
and at the time said traffic is transported.
on file with the Interstate-commerce Com
mission = and from hereafter agree
ing with any shipper or other person TO
transport such ira ffic at any other or differ
ent rates than such as may be provided for
in its schedules as filed and published ac-
cording to law; or making any concession
whatever in rates or charges. or in respect
to any traffic In the transportation of which
il may participate, at any rate different
from the established rate at the time such
traffic shall be transported
1t will be noticed that all that is required
to fully comply with the terms of the in
junction is that a tariff shall be issued and
be on file with the Interstate-cOmmerce
Commission when the traffic is handled.
Suppose. for illustration, il was desired by
any railroad 10 favor a Minneapolis ship
per on a lot OF flour for export within ten
days. Private notice could be given the
shipper. he could make his contract. en-
gage his ocean space. and when everything
was ready a tariff could be issued which
would be effective within three DAYS and
expire ten days later. Every condition of
the injunction would be fully compiled
with. and yet. for all practical purposes.
the order would be violated.

CHANCE FOR THE NEGRO.
Philippine Islands Offers Good Place
for His Development.
Minneapolis Tribune.

Minneapolis Tribune.
The labor problem in the Philippines, If
the islands remain under American con-
troll, may be solved by the emigration of
negroes from the United States. The men
who have undertaken to exploit industries
there have testified that the natives will
not work, that the white men cannot stand
the climate, and hence that the Chinese
cooley constitutes the only reliable labor
resource. But Congress seems determined
to forbid the influx of any more Cinnamon.
having included our island possessions in
the exclusion bill.
This makes rather a cherries outlook for
the development of the islands according
10 American notions; but a CLEAN of light
appears in a recently published article by
Chaplain 7. CT. Stewart, of the Twenty
fifth lnfantry-one of the colored regiments
of regulars-in which he takes the view
that the Philippines are a veritable Eldora-
do for the American negro, and makes the
prediction that thousands of them will seek
homes there when they become thoroughly
acquainted with the conditions.
This opinion is based upon his observation
and his talk with the colored soldiers. He
says that no less than Zoo American
negroes nave been in the Philippines as sol
diers. first and last, and that nine out of
every ten Of them like the country and
would prefer 10 remain there. One black
soldier who had just received his honorable
discharge, asked when he would return to
America, replied: Il do not care If l never
90. They are disfranchising my people over
there. L feel freer here than 1 do at home.
In Texas we are just nigsers in uniform,
but here we are colOred soldiers and have
the respect of every one"
The colored men can stand the climate
and they can work. The natives are very
friendly TO them and like them much better
than the whites. Instead of looking upon
them with contempt, they regard them as
superior beings on account of their vastly
superior physique. The insular government
will have control of large areas of land
which could be allotted 10 negroes as home
steads under proper conditions. and there
would be no lack of employment upon the
cotton, sugar and hemp plantations, To say
nothing of the manufactures that are sure

NOW A WABASH INTEREST
THE SALE OF THE WESTERN MARY
LAND LEGALLY COMPLETED.
Lake Shore VIII Put on Eighteen
Hour Trains Between New York
and ChicagO-PersonaI Notes.

The vote Of the City Council of Balti-
more practically settles the question of the
ownership of the Western Maryland, which
has been so eagerly sought by four bid
ders for some weeks past. The Fuller syn
dictate, which represents the Wabash, Sc
cures the roa6, paying 50. 751,S7O.45. Mayor
Hayes yesterday signed the ordinance sell
ing the road. The Pittsburg Gazette says:
With the Western Maryland controlled
by the Wabash. the connecting link be-
tween Pittsburg and Cumbeland will be
built. and Pittsburg will be located on the
through trunk line OF the Wabash Rail-
road, which is allied with the Fuller syn
dictate. With the completion of the Wa
bash, the new line across the continent
will be opened and the Wabash will enter
the fight for ~Pittsburg's trade both east
and west. For some time it had been ru-
mored that the West Virginia Central Pail
road was TO be the Wabash main line
through from the west. but il was seen
that it was impossible to obtain the Pitts
burg business to the seaboard by any
roundabout connection. With the con-
Meeting link in operation, the through
trains will be operated via this city. The
Fuller syndicate owns the controlling in
terest in the West Virginia Central and
by the acquisition of the Western Mary
land Railroad, and an alliance with the
Wabash system of the Goulds, a transcon-
tinental line from west to east, with Balti-
more as the seaboard outlet. is assured.
George ]. Gould sent a letter to Mayor
Hayes. stating in most positive terms that
the Wabash was allied will the Fuller
syndicate and Baltimore would be made
the tidewater terminal OF the proposed
trunk line. 1t was this communicated
that won over the doubling city solons and
prompted all of the business organizations
of Baltimore TO assemble yesterday and
pass resolutions indorsing the Fuller-sale
ordinances

When the cress and w~indhOwer slim,
Palely light the WOodpath dim.
When the air is sweet and keen
Ere the full blown flower Is seen.
When that blithe fOrerunning air
Rreathes more hope than thou canst bear.

Into Guivering life shall start.
Thou shalt ask the hower-loved breeze.
Wherefore waken these-and these

Wherefore lead these up from night.
