Yesterdays Meetings.

The Central Association of Railway Off,

terest, the most important business trans
acted being the adoption Of the per diem
rules for interchange of cars. to become ef-
fective July /.
The Indianapolis Freight Association held
its monthly meeting yesterday. The only
question discussed of interest to outsiders
was the handling of fruits and vegetables
more expeditiously than under existing ar
rangements, and steps are to be taken to
better this service.
A committee of the Shippers League yes
serday held a conference with L. H. Num-
inert, general manager of the Indiana Car
service Association. The resolutions be-
tween the two organizations have been
somewhat strained, and the conference was
held to endeavor to heal the breaches. Mr..
Mummert, who is a veteran in the service,
gave the committee some pointers to study.
1t is well known that city in the Union
is better treated by railroads than are Ind-
annapolis shippers and consignees, especial
ly as to rates per car switched, etc. There
was a time last winter when business was
so congested that the roads were unable
to move business promptly and furnish
cars as desired. but now that business is
at it's normal volume no complaint is heard
of the tardy movement of cars for un-
loading or loading.

The Troubles Not Yet Adjusted.

The life of the Western Immigrant Bu-
reau is still in danger of being crushed out.
owing to developments which have fol-
lowed the appointment by the Union Pacif-
ic of Peter Mcdonald as its agent. There
is evidence of desperate effort on the part
of other members of the bureau to save
it from destruction. The situation has
been intensified by the refusal of the
steamship lines to assent to any arrange
ment designed to give recognition TO Mr..
Mcdonald, or that would take his immi-
grant business through Ellis island, which
would mean his participation in commits
sion. The situation is the more aggravated
to cancel its contract and cut loose from
Mr.. Mcdonald and by demand from the
Canadian Pacific that the bureau relin-
Quish all claim to immigrants landing at
Canadian ports and bound for points in
Canada The managers of the Western
roads have for at least a year insisted
on the expenses of the immigrant bureau
being reduced, and the steamship men were
persuaded to assent to the commission of
10 per cent. being reduced to per cent.
They did this reluctantly after several con-
ferences. Having agreed to accept a half
loaf they do not relish the idea of sharing
it with Peter Mcdonald, but the idea still
prevails that If they can be induced to
join with the Western passenger agents in
a sufficient vindication for his dismissal
from the service of the association as its
agent some years ago, and thus signify
his readiness to abandon the immigrant
business. But those who know Mr.. Nc
Donald best are of opinion that he has
a troublesome independent immigrant
agent

The preliminary arrangements for ex-
tending the Burlington Railroad from Kan
sas City to the Gulf of Mexico have pro-
gressed to a point where the final location
and actual construction of the road will
soon be commenced. dispatch from Aus
tin, Tex, confirms the statement recently
made to the effect that representatives of
the Burlington have been actively at work
in Texas for several months obtaining ho-
nus contracts and right of way. 1t is said
that the new line WILL for considerable
was to have been covered by the Rock
Islands proposed extension to Galveston.
The new line will be a grain-carrying line
and will be an important factor in the
transportation of wheat from the Burling-
ton Northwest territory to the gulf.
