DITCH SMALL CARS
Prest. Hughitt Of North W estern
Says Big Freight Carriers
Are Needed.
Says Ohio Estimates Of the Corn Crop
Are Much Too Op-
timistic.

New York, Sept. 9.-President Marvin
Hughtt Of the Chicago & th-Western
railway Is In town for a few days on busi-
ness. Mr.. Hughitt was asked about the
report from the west that the North
Western had determined to destroy about
400 of its 80. pound freight cars and to
replace them with larger cars In order
to handle more economically it's increas-
Ing business. He said:
II do not know the exact number Of
cars which are to be abandoned, but
imagine that 400 is not an excessive num-
Der since we have some $4,000 cars in all.
It has been our policy for about seven
years to replace these small cars as rap
idly as possible with a newer type and
greater carrying capacity, and we have
tried to get no new cars under $4,000
popnds. Traffic on the road Is ever in
creasing and we have found that to meet
it's demands we must use the larger cars"
Mr.. Hughitt's attention was called to
an estimate by the Price Current of Gin
cinnati that corn crop of 1000, 900, 900
bushels might reasonably be expected. He
said:
THAT estimate seems too optimistic.
In Ohio the weather has been quite differ
and this fact may have had something
to do with the optimistic outlook from
Ohio. It must aforementioned that some
Of the corn states get almost Rocky noun
tain weather.
I'm the west there were, during the
growing season, some Of the most ex-
tensive wind and rain storms ever ex-
perienced there, and not only were they
hard on the growing crops, but the cold,
raw weather continued 50 long that it
affected the harvesting operations. The
whole season has been exceptionally I'M
favorable and has put the corn crop be-
hind. In order to get the estimated crop
Of corn now the corn states will have to
be favored with the best kind of weather
and the time to experience its effects is
getting less each day. I regard the next
three weeks as pivotal in the matter of
the corn crop.

CARS ARE READY
Roads Prepare to Start Grain Movement
OF Wen, --.. : l..

The grain movement eastward will be-
gin soon. About 10000 box cars are be-
ing distributed thru the northwest, and
soon every sidetrack will be filled with
empties. These will be filled, sent to
the terminals, and then returned for an
other load.
The principal aim is to move the first ship
ments promptly, said Frank Bell, superintendent
OF car service Of the Great Northern, yesterday.
The first shipments what make the impression
on the shipper. IT there is delay, then he OBJ
1ects vigorously. If the shipment is handled
promptly, his attitude Is friendly later. We
probably have 5000 box cars in northern Mime
sofa and the Dakotas, ready for the crop move
ment ..----..-. ... = -, -
The movement is late this year, owing to
rains, and is just starting. About 800 cars a
day are moving now. The rain this week put
back the movement four or five days, as it de-
layed threshing. Usually the farmers have
been able to plow when they could not thresh,
SO that no time was wasted. This fall, how
ever, there have been many days when they
could do neither. 1900. :

JOINT NAVAL ACTION
Powers Will Make Display In
Turkish Waters.
ITALIAN FLEET ORDERED TO SAIL.
SquadrOns of England, France and
Austria VIII Cooperate In En-
forcing Promised Reforms
In Macedonia.

LONDON. Aug. 20-The italian am
bassador here has received Il dispatch
from Rome. announcing that an Ital-
ian squadron had been ordered to
Macedonian waters to watch events"
The embassy officials were unable to
say whether it was ii result of Russia
sending a squadron to Turkish waters
or not.
Admiral Domville, commanding the
British Mediterranean fleet. now Oil
Portugal, has received urgent orders to
detach some vessels to the neighbor-
hood of Salonika Immediately.
1t Is learned in official quarters that
the action of Russia in ordering a ma
val squadron to Turkish waters may
be speedily followed by important joint
naval action on the part of the powers.
Communications are at present beng
exchanged between the powers relative
to a Joint naval demonstration before
Salonika.
The final determination will depend
largely upon Russia, but if a joint
demonstration is determined upon the
fleets of England, France and Austria
will certainly cooperate, and 1t is PROB
able that the fleets of all the other Eu-
ropean powers having Turkish inter-
ests, except possibly Germany, which
throughout has not favored taking On
ergetic steps against Turkey, will take
part in the demonstration.
In the meantime the Russian squad
ron will not proceed to Constantn0ple,
as has been reported, but will rendez
vous off a small port of the vilayet or
Adrianople, above the entrance of the
Bosporus. For the present this squad
ron has no orders to assume an aggreS-
sive course. Its action will depend on
Turkeys fultillment of the terms of
Russia's final demands in connection
with the assassination of Consul Rost-
kovski. The punishment of a number
of the parties implicated is not consid-
cred to be full compliance with the
terms of the demands, which include
an adequate indemnity.
Besides the Rostkovski incident, the
proposed joint naval action before Sa-
lonika is due to the earnest representa-
tons Of the foreign consuls at Saloni-
ka, who set forth that their lives are in
danger.
The assassination of NJ. Rostkovski is
giving such emphasis to the statement
of the consuls that consideration of a
joint naval demonstration of sufficient
strength to impress Turkey with the
necessity for taking decisive action
looking to the maintenance of order in
Macedonia is now in progress. The eX-
changes of communications have
shown that Russia and Austria con
tinue to cooperate in the action taken
toward Turkey.

they waited for their weaker comrades,

In the long line were men from ev-

No Russo-Japaneke War.

YOKOHAMA, Aug. 2O.-The Japa-
nese government disclaims all the panic
stories of wal between Russia and ia
pan. All fears of a conflict are ground,
less. Both Russia and Japan are really
trying to be conciliatory. War would
not be an advantage to either. So far if
has been a game of bluff. Japan has no
war ships building in England and has
not increased the strength of her army
in view of possible events.
