 Major Hanson reported that the new ships of the Ocean Steamship Company had been purchased by the Central in- stead of by the steamship company. and this plan will be continued. as the rail- way can buy vessels more cheaply.

PASSENGER MEN.
The General Ticket Association
 Session at New Orleans.

The General Ticket Association in Session at New Orleans.
 New Orleans, Oct. 13.-Railroad men from all sections of the United States and Canada, many of them accompanied by their wives and families, are here to attend the annual convention or the American Association of General Passen- ger and Ticket Agents. which opened to- day. Vice-President F. I. Whitney pre- sided at tine session in the absence of President Ruggles. The session was executive.
 The most important matter before the convention today was the report of James Taylor, of the Legislative Committee, on ticket scalping, giving an account or some of the important results that have been arrived at during the year. The re- port of the fraternal society organized three years ago as an insurance adjunct was also on the program. Warren J. Lynch, of the Big Four will deliver the annual oration at an open meeting to- night after Mayor Capdeville has welcon- ed the visitors. public reception will follow. St. Louis and Cleveland are the active candidates for the next convention. Local men have arranged an extended program of entertainment during the two days session. At the night reception at the Palm Gar den. St. Charles Hotel, in addition to addresses of welcome, s. H. Hardwick reported upon the condition of the asso- ciation which has $50 members, and said the fraternal branch had 160 members, | while 200 were required for success. Mir Hardwick was named the next annual orator.
 The Committee on an4i-scalping Legis- lation submitted a report. giving an ac- count of what had been done during the past year. It said, in part:
 | we began work last March only, but 1 by the evidence gathered through investi- gations conducted so far 1t has been prov l ed beyond a doubt that the scalper brings no new business, but simply preys on old business already established and belong ing to the railroads. His operations have become so extensive that his illegal and nefarious practices have made serious cuts into the passenger earnings of all the roads. Our work extends all over the States. We will confer our labors to no particular section but wherever a fellow is caught up with we will be on the ground and actively and unremitingly prosecuting the culprit We have done some good already and hope to accom- plish a great good in the end with the cooperation of the local division of fcials.
 Officers for the ensuing year were elect ed as follows:
 President. F. J. Whitney. General Pas senger Agent of the Great Northern Rail- road: Vice-President, F. E. Boothby Gen. eral Passenger Agent of the Maine Gen. tral Railroad; Secretary, A. J. Smith General Passenger Agent of the Lake Shore and Michigan Railroad
 George J. Charlton, c. S. Croner and George H. Smith were appointed on the executive committee to fill vacancies
 George Martin and A. Hilton were ap, pointed members of the standing com. mittee to fill vacancies.
 A subcommittee representing Lake lines was added to the standing commit tee as follows: W. F. Hermann, c. E Markham and R. c. Davis.

GERMAN NAVY
The Estimates Now in ths Hands of
 the Finance Minister.

the Finance Minister.
 jerlin. Oct. i3.-The German naval esti- mates for 1904 are in the hands of the finance minister. and have not been made public, but 1t has been learned they contain nothing except statements of the sums required for maintenance. and the construction of vessels already under way anu, they have been placed at an irreducible minimum for keeping the fleet on its present effective basis. Such ships as will be asked for under the naval pro- gram will be included in a supplementary budget, which. 1t is understood. will pro- vide for two battleships, one armored cruiser and five torpedo boats. None of these additional vessels has already laid down. as Is some times in an anticipa- ton of an appropriation, and no effort Is being made to complete program by 1906 or 1908, as 1t was generally supposed two years ago Germany intended doing Such a realization is now deemed impos- sible. The program win take the sixteen years course originally outlined in 1900. The reason Is an obvious one-lack of money. The governments view is that the country is reconciled to carrying out the program under which by 1920 1t will have fifty-fve battleships. thirty-eight of them up to date. with 3.090 officers and 5.s09 men. Lut the country would not ap- prove of largely increased burdens to carry 1t through in a shortened period
 Besides. the government finds it will be necessary. in the next two or three years. to rearm the army. It Is supposed with some certainty. that the govern ment has already ordered the artillery from the Krupps. without waiting for an appropriation and that the firm Is now manufacturing the guns. The rife now in use in the German army is obso- lete. or at least 1t is not so effective as the latest model. Hence 1t Is planned to manufacture the 100000 rifles neces- sary for the regulars and reserves. The old rifles will be sold for what they will bring. although even the new weap ons will cost from SIS. 900 to S22. 800 .Ot,O

It is Confirmed.

Houston, Texas. Oct. 13.-B. J. Kruts- chnitt, vice-president and general mana ger of the Southern Pacific, being shown .he Associated Press dispatch from Cali fornia that within a few days between 250 and 300 men will be discharged on the coast division of the Southern Pacific and that before the order for retrench- ment is fully carried out 1,200 men will be out of employment, replied that he could not vouch for the correctness of the figures. but that the principle was entirely correct.
 Just at the present time," said Mir. Krutschnitt, "the Southern Pacific is in a position similar to that of every other railroad. During recent years conditions have changed until now the question of producing net results is an important one. Cost of labor. cost of supplies. equipment and, in fact. cost of operation in general are greatly in excess of what conditions demanded few years ago. Tho rail- roads are obtaining on the average in return for service rendered just about what they did when the cost of operation was not so great.
 During recent years vast additions of various sorts have been made to better the facilities. of the Southern Pacific for doing business. Vast sums have been expended with the view of lessening the cost of operation. These Improvements have been perfected and now it is up to the lines to show net returns on money invested. The additions made have all been made with the view of lessening the cost of operation. 1t is a business proposition and the only way railroads have at present of overcoming the in crease in cost of operating and of pro- ducing returns

The Erie, Too.

New York. Oct. 13.-As a step toward retrenchment. and in a measure to re- coup losses from the flood. Erie railroad officials have decided, says The Herald, to cut down the force of employees. Many are to be discharged from the repair shops. In reducing their force of ma chinists 1t was explained by a railroad traffic official that the New York Central, the Erie. the Pennsylvania and the South ern Pacific were merely returning to the normal demand for skilled labor.

THAT SELMA BRIDGE
THE WESTERN TRAINS WILL
 USE IT SOON.
Stockholders of the Central of 0sor- a gia Meet in Savannah, Ga. 70 Other News of the
 Railroad World.

Within a short time the railroad bridge of the Selma division of the Western Railroad will be abandoned, as that road is to use the magnificent bridge recently completed by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad.
 Work is going on just as rapidly as men and money can push 1t, building the cut on by which the Western reaches the Louisville and Nashville. The cutoff be- gins about one mile east of Gulf Junction, where the Pine Apple branch of the Lou isvilie and Nashville formerly joined the Selma branch of the Western. From this point Louisville and Nashville trains got into Selma over the Western, using the old bridge of that road over the Ala bama River. Now the situation is re- versed. The Pine Apple branch of the Louisville and Nashville instead of com ing the seven miles to Gulf Junction and the Western, now goes straight into Sel- ma over the big, modern bridge built by the Louisville and Nashville. The Louis- vile and Nashville track from the Pine Apple branch to Gulf Junction has been torn up and now the Western is building track of its own in order to get to the Louisville and Nashville bridge
 In September 1870, the first train came over the old bridge-a few days more than thirty-three years ago. Engineer Jack Martin crossed 1t with a train load of cotton, coming to Montgomery. Colonel Pollard at that time was President of the Western and the Alabama and Florida. now the Mobile and Montgomery divisi on of the Louisville and Nashville. The Western, Selma to Montgomery. going in- to bankruptcy, the Central of Georgia and the Atlanta and West Point bought 1t in.
 k The Alabama and Florida then only ran from Montgomery to Tensas, a line of steamers owned by the company meeting the trains there and taking passengers, mall and freight, into Mobile. other steamers taking them from Mobile to New Orleans The road then entered Mont gonlery down Tallapoosa Street-where the tracks of the Belt Line are now-and the ofaces of the company were in the building that the Tallassee Manufacturing Company Is using, on Bibb Street. A few years later the city condemned the Tallapoosa Street tracks. and Colonel Jourdan, who at that time was superin- tendent, opened the big cut that the Lou- isviile and Nashville. Coast Line and Selma division of the Western are using at present. -s.s. .'.a-..-,' .-a.

which. in

am which. In
it's CO. ned the rep
utations st every lead
ing politician. The Postoffice
Department has become abso-
lutely rotten. Every branch of
the service needs reform and
lots of it. 1t is the Presidents
duty to leave nothing undone
to bring every culprit to justice.
The scandal is no longer "a mat
ter of lurking suspicion. 1t has
advanced into the indestructi-
BILE realm of facts. This being
the case, every political CRATER,
blood-sucker and briber should
be hunted down and held up
for public condemnation. The
national administration, which
happens to be republican, has
reached the point where retreat
is no longer impossible. 1t
must. nolens. go ahead, honest
" and fearlessly or take the
consequences. Does the latest
step look as though it were go
ing to do this thing: Does it
look as though the people of
the country are going to get the
facts of this matter when the
gag rule" is applied to the
officers of the department and
no action taken in the cases of
men already indicted of hcinous
offenses
The people will never know
the extent of rottenness in the
Postoffice Department until
there is a change in national
administration. A congression-
al investigation by a partisan
republican majority will only
smother things. How long will
the people stand it :
