HAWLEY EARNINGS FALL :
M. & st. Il. and Iowa Central February
Reports. :.


In commenting on the February
earnings of the Hawley roads, the
Wall Street Journal says: a'ug Tin:
iowa Central and Minneapolis &
st. Louis report for February greatly
reduced net earnings, the : former
earnings but $13,107 and the latter
s59,567. :. Both roads suffered severe
ly on account Of the very cold wealth
err, much in the same way that Wis
consin Central, Rock Island and other
roads with northern lines were in
convenienced. - q. g.. -.
THE Hawley lines have had two
bad seasons in succession. In spite
of this they have, toSdate, maintained
their dividends, and there are no in
timati ons that any curtailInent is i'm
minent. The mere decline in, earn
ings due to heavy weather during the
winter is not a, serious menace, but it
may easily become so if followed by
a. period of declining traffic. -
These small linesof the northwest
have lost a percentage Of their traffic
during the past five years to their big
competitors. Both Iowa Central and
Minneapolis & st. Louis have lost ton
mage to Rock Island, largely thru the
building of the twin city line Of the
lington, Great Western and st. Paul
have also strengthenedtheir position
at the necessary expense of the small
er lines in that territory.
| '"The underlying principle is that
| these roads which have not reached
new, centers, or tapped new territory
during the period of expansion and
consolidation are now operating at a
! disadvantage as mpared with a few
years ago. Their long-haul business
fradually slips away from them as the
big systems reach out for it."

RUSSIANS REJOICE.
Reports of the Port Arthur Situation
Please Them.

ST PETERSBURG, July 1, :35 pm
There was considerable rejoicing IN the
Russian capital at this mornings reports
from the theater of war. From the head
quarters at Mukden came the positive
statement, made apparently on direct
news from Port Arthur and probably
brought by the torpedo boat Lieutenant
Burukof to Niuchwang, that meme of the
big Russian warships sustained any dam
age during the Japanese torpedo boat at
tack of June % and June "a. Also came
the report that the Japanese have lost a
thousand men in land fight before Port
Arthur
From Liao-Yang came two separate re-
ports that Maj. Gen. Mstchenko had dealt

we're blow by recapturing Dalin pass,
which was lost June %. One of these re-
ports. dated today. says Gen. Mistchenko
for several days, capturing three guns
and ammunition train Not any Of
these reports are official.
The statement of a war correspondent
that Russian officer told him he would
rather fall victim to Japanese bullets
than Jew surgeons has created consider
able indignation here, the Novosti de-
nouncing it as vile ,and gratuitious
calumny. citing the expsIts of two Jew
surgeons, Drs. Pouseff andE:ehraman, who
according to official reports bandaged 600
wounded men on the field of battle, and
the case of DR.. Banyash, who refused to
leave the field, although under a hail of
bullets.
Testimony from all sources at the front
shows that the rainy season has set in
in southern Manchuria, which may bring
the military operations to an abrupt close
without a general engagement. The opin-
ion here is that the Japanese. on account
of the distance from their base are IL
able to suffer the most transport diff

his duties at Buffalo. he was struck by a

his recovery was a matter OF doubt

tain his actual physical condition, with a

ST. LOUIS, July Talk in the interest
Of Grover Cleveland for the presidency con-
stitutes the most prominent feature of the
ante convention gossip heard among demo-
Gratis here today, and the publication here
of a Washington dispatch quoting Mr.. John
r. Mclean in advocacy of the former
Presidents nomination added somewhat to
the volume of prediction. There is no
definite movement discernible as yet in Mr.
Clevelands interest, and the few delegates
in the city generally decline to discuss
the probabilities. saying that all predictions
would be premature at this time. The dis
cussion is, therefore. confined to politicians
other than delegates. and with reference
to the Cleveland nomination these are di-
vided into two classes-those who favor
him and those who fear him. In a general
way the eastern arrivals are favorable on
the ground that Mr.. Cleveland can carry
eastern states, such New York, which,
they say, no other man can carry. 1t is
asserted that strong influence among busi-
ness men is being brought-to bear in his

HIGH-BRED CATTLE WANTED.
Minister Barrett Tells of Demand in
Argentina

The recent announcement of the State
Department that Argentina had removed
the restrictions ,E the importation OF
American cattle has more significance than
first reported, according to Mr.. John Bar
rett former minister to Argentina, now in
Washington route to Panaraa. who was
largely responsible for removing these re-
strictions. He stated today that this action
of the Argentine government should be OF
particular interest and value to the cattle
breeders of the United States. North
American hign-bred cattle are considered
specially suited to the climatic and pas
toral conditions of Argentina, and there Is
sure to develop a large import trade in
such stock from the United States. The
inEortations from Great Britain have been
very large in the past two years, amount
ing to many hundred thousands of dollars.
II special effort is made by North Amer
ical. breeders, said Mr.. Barrett, they should
succeed in getting a good share OF this
growing demand for the best class of stock.
