COLD CRIPPLES THE
EASTERN RAIL LINES
More Than 1900 Freight Cars Are STALL
ed in the East

Thousands of loaded cars are stalled
between Pittsburg, Buffalo and New York
and herculean efforts are being made bv
the trunk lines to remove the blockade
one OF the main causes is the shortness
OF motive power, which has been empha-
sized by the extreme cold. The immense
strain put on locomotives during the past
two months has incapacitated many of
them. and those in good condition can do
nothing like the amount of work possible
in milder weather.
Shippers are complaining bitterly against
the delay. They say it is causing them
serious loss. and many of them are in
cllned to hold the railroads responsible.
The roads deny, however. that they are
in any way responsible. being unable to
regulate the weather. They say, too, they
are suffering as much as the shippers, as
it costs them from % to 40 per cent more
to operate trains in this kind Of weather.
There are said to be about II, 900 loaded
cars stalled between Pittsburg and New
York, and as many more east of Buffalo.
About one-half are loaded with east
bound freight, and the other half with
westbound. so that both sections Of the
country are suffering. 1t is believed that
several weeks at least will be required to
Straighten out the tangle.

TRADE is AIDED
BY NORTHERN LINES
Low Flour Rate From Mime
apoIis TO the Orient Creates
Export Business.
Globe Special Washington Service,

1417 G Street.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 10.-The
Canadian railway and steamship lines,
which for several years have been try
ing to divert the east -bound wheat and
flour shipments from New York and
Buffalo to the st. Lawrence route, have
undoubtedly made some progress dur
ing the last year. The department of
commerce admits this, but the cause is
ascribed to the congestion Of traffic on
the Eastern railroads in the United
States and the consequent preference
for the less bulky and more profitable
classes of merchandise.
The Northern railway lines between
St Paul and Puget sound did a heavy
business, however, throughout 1903.
There was a heavy demand for flour,
especially in the Orient In discussing
the matter, the bureau Of statistics of
the department of commerce says:
Both -four and grain originating in
the interior have been subject to espe-
Cially active competition on the part of
carriers to the Eastern seaboard. On
the north, the Canadian lines, as well
as the lake and canal routes, competed
with the domestic trunk lines. But
possibly more Of a factor than conpe-
tition was the chronic congestion Of
freight traffic generally seeking outlet
to the East. Under such conditions
these carriers had the choice of giving
preference to the more profitable va
rieties of traffic leaving grain to go by
way of the Canadian competitors or by
way of the gulf lines.
At times, in the latter portion of the
last year. gulf lines successfully COM
Noted in MiCGiCciT0ni TiU0r Territory fn1,
both flour and grain, and at times even
extended their control of -four traffic
as far north as Minneapolis.
Big Demand From Orient.
"The eastward movement of flour,
AS well as of grain, was, no doubt, to
some extent at least, influenced by the
unsual demand for flour at Minneapolis
for the Oriental trade in the last quar-
ter of the year. Minneapolis milling
drew on winter wheat territory as far
south as Oklahoma for grinding pur-
poses as never before, thus reducing
the available wheat for eastward
movement"
The bureau of statistics in it's latest
report gives the figures for flour ex-
ports in 1903. The flour shipments
from Puget sound, San Francisco and
Portland were mostly for the Orient.
The exports of flour from the sound
were valued at $685., 44S in 1903, as
against $4,821,957 in 1902; from San
Francisco there was a slight decline in
flour shipments, and from Portland the
shipments were $3,6OO,926 in 1903, as
against $2,071 ,002 in 1902. The in
creased Oriental shipments went en-
tirely by way of the Northern railway
lines and Puget sound. An especially
favorable freight rate from st. Paul
and Minneapolis to Hongkong and
other far Eastern ports prevailed.

ANXIOUS FOR HANNA
Physicians Fear Some Unex.
peCted Complications.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 10.-Sen-
ator Hanna's condition remains prac-
tically unchanged. The fatigue Of last
night has been followed by periods of
comparative quiet and during the day
the irritability of the stomach has
again partially yielded to treatment.
The physicians say that no compli-
cations have developed. 1t Is this fea-
ture of the case that the physicians are
guarding zealously against, as they
realize If any complications develop in
the senator's distressingly weak condi-
ton the result may be fatal
The doctors are not able yet to pre-
dict with any certainty when the crisis
will occur. All they know is that the
senator has had the fever continuously
for eleven days and the disease. they
say, generally runs 1t course in three
or four weeks.
The doctors say they are satisfied
with the progress of the case, although
they do not conceal their apprehension
of unforeseen complications.
DIR. Osler made very thorough ex-
animation of the senator during the
afternoon and at its conclusion re-
marked TO one or these at his bedside
that his heart was splendid. The sena-
tors other vital organs also are work
Sng well with the exception of the stoYn-
ach.
A new kind of nourishment was Civ
en- to the senator during the day in ad-
dltlon to milk and the stomach retained
most of 1t. During the afternoon he
slept three hours. He is always cheer
full and seems anxious to converse. al.
though an effort is made to keep hin
as quiet as possible. The Senators
brother, HI. M. Hanna, who spent a good
part of the day in the sick room. said
tonight it was the best day the senator
had since Sunday.
The following is the doctors bulletin
