Met in Secret.

All attempts to discover what subjects
were discussed at the meeting of the
freight traffic agents of the Southern
Railroad lines east of the Mississippi
at Atlantic City yesterday failed J. J.
McGovern, chairman OF the Southern
classification committee, presided, and
several large shippers attended. The
sessions were secret. Said one who was
present; .-...- s.
I'VE are pledged not TO talk, because
the matters We went over are now be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion"
The important matters involving near
w all Of the Southeastern roads which
are now before the commission are the
troubles over the round and fat bale
freight rates. the long and short-haul
clause. and the complaints of high rates
made by the peach growers of Florida.
II is more than probable that all OF
these questions were talked about.

MARYLAND NOTES.
ANNAPOLIS.

John c. Rose. United States District
Attorney. has written a letter to City
ity of holding the Annapolis municipal
election. which will most probably de-
cisively settle the question. He says
that the present city officials should not
raise the point of their not having au-
thority to hold the election, but that it
should only come up when raised by a
taxpayer. He says that the law pro-
viding for the election OF mayor. city
counselor and aldermen has been repeal
ed. but the other provisions of law
passed to provide some of the machinery
for such election are still in force.

Praise for Mitchell.

Praise for Mitchell.
The fashion in which President
Mitchell and his associates in the mine
regions nipped in the bud the embryonic
strike, and probable tie-up of some OF
the coal roads. has won the praise of the
Department of Commerce and Labor. In
speaking of the matter last night Sec
rotary Cortelyou said:
The Administration is deeply graft
fed at the outcome of the meeting of
miners at Scranton, and the understand
ing reached between them and the opera
tors, as represented by John Mitchell
and President Baer.
1T is a fitting result of the work
begun by President RooseeIt when he
secured the consent of both sides to
the appointment of the strike commits
sion, and represents in it's conservative
treatment of an embarrassing situation
the substantial advance that has been
made In the adjustment of difficulties
between employer and employee"

Small Roads Troubles.

II line with the article in The Times
yesterday, In which a we'll known local
railroad man called attention to the
rapid absorption OF the small railroads
ov the large systems. are some figures
issued by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. This set Of figures shows that
OF all the railroads in the hands OF re-
ce!Vers in the United States only one has
az excess OF 300 miles of track. II is
stated that there are twenty-seven rail-
reads In charge Of receivers The roads
operate 1.475.32 miles of line Of which
l.16l-66 miles are owned by them. OF the
roads managed by receivers. / had an
operated mileage in excess OF 300 miles
3 between 100 and 300 miles. and 10 less
than 100 miles.
As nearly as ascertainabIe the capital
stock represented by the railways in the
charge Of receivers is SIS, 267.677. funded
debt S25.156.977. and current liabilities
81. TAG .399
These figures show a decrease in can
ital stock represented. as compared with
last year. Of SSl .210. $50. and in funded
cebt OF $29 .59I SIS
These figures sound the kneH OF the
llltle independents. Freight can no long
er be had II the big systems SO an
nounce. and freight Is not going 10 be
received at rates under which the small
reads are going 10 make a profit. II the
systems say so.
Thus IL is seen that the local railroad
mar Is sustained in his position by Off
cial figures, and that consolidation or
absorption, or to get out of business
seems to be the problematic position in
which the officers OF the little indie
pendents find themselves.
