WHITE MEN ON DINERS.
colored Walters and Cooks Arc Re-
placed by White Men on All Dining

All but one of the dining cars run
ming on the o. II. e. n. have been
supplied with white walters and cooks
instead of the colored men who have
been employed In these capacities
from time immemorial.
AS soon as suitable white men can
be found this remaining car will be
supplied with this class OF labor also.
The demand of the public for change
has prompted the dining car people to
try the experiment. While the col
ored walters and cooks have been em-
ployed since the first dining car was
ever run over a railroad, 1t is be-
lieved that better service can be OBJ
tained from white men.

merchant of New Orleans:
81 thank you very much for
your telegram of the 25th instant
in which you say prominent fer
tilizer dealer in your town had
sold 100 tons Of fertilizer up to
this time last year against, none
this year, and that the farmers
are not gong to buy it. If plant
ers will stick to their good reso
lutions, which l believe they will,
success is assured | consider the
convention that has just adjourned
here has been big success, and
IT they carry out the resolutions
adopted aud reduce their acreage
and use less fertilizer, and hold
what they are now carrying,
there is no question in my mind
but what they will get b,g prices,
| for both Inc bulance of this cror
and the next crop. l hear from
all quarters that much less ferti-
lizer is being sold, and that q
great many orders that were plac.
ed for future delivery are being
cancelled In fact, I am interest
ed in a fertilizer company and
know that we have had orders
cancelled on US. If farmers only
knew it, they have practically go,
the market corncred. Exporters
are short to spinners, will say,
at least 100000 to 1000, O,OOC
bales. l pre-, ume most of them
are protected by futures. and il
the farmer refuses to rell, the sx
porter will have to- demand the
cotton on his futures, which IL
bound to bring about an advance
in the market sooner or later.

Col. Tribble sued and got a YER

still raging fiercely. The Russian have
recaptured several positions which they
had lost in the past few days.
With Gen. Oku, Manchuria, March

terrific bombardment along the
entire line today. The heaviest guns
ever used in the field were employ
ed and did great damage to the
Russian defenses. One hundred guns of
all sizes were employed. The guns were
quiet, evidently unable to reply. The
japanese left completely blocked Rus
sian attempts to turn it.
With General Oku, MancEuria,
March 2. Delayed. The battle is new
progressing iayorably despite heavy
snow storm. We have made great gains
by night attacks on the extreme left,
and now occupy part of the FIRST
line Of the Russian triple defenses IN
the hills beyond the Shake river
Yesterday we began to swing our main
force northward. Our troops on the
east bank of the Hun river have adj
vanced OH the villages in the vicinity OF
Chantan, within hundred metres OF
the enemy's trenches.
With General Kuroki. undated. -
We are pushing forward and have now
gained Opuves and Takasan, surprising
the Russians. A tremendous lombard
ment is now proceeding. Our artillery
is directed against WanhaOsan Hill.
Sixty Russian guns are opposing us.
We have just occupied Witosan.
Toxic, March, S.-Dispatches from
the front state the japanese are advanc-
ing all along the line and are now
eleven and quarter miles from Muk-
den. There have been heavy losses on
both sides. Severe fighting is in pro
gress everywhere. The japanese are
