Hutchinson, Kan, Sept. 21.=Super-
fendent Marshall Of the state reforma-
tory has submitted his biennial report
TO the board of managers. A striking
feature of the report, in view of some
charges made against the management
during the sumner, is that the number
in the hospital aid on punishment dur
ing the last twi years has decreased,
while the numler Of inmates has been
greater than dring any preceding BIZ
ennial period. The schools are also in
better conditih. although the super
intendent fraAzly states that there is
room for Considerable Improvement
yet. After r3ting the progress made
on the wallsand new cell house, the
erection ofthe standpipe and other
improvemeus, the report says:

New York, Sept 21.-In both railway
and banking circles the one topic Of gen.
eral conversation was the announcement
by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. that negotiations
were under way for the sale of the Bal
timore & Ohio to the Union Pacific.
Belief that the deal would be cOnplet-
ed was based on the opinion that If the
transaction had not been all but closed
the banking firm inter ested would have
remained silent. It was also pointed out
that the Union Pacific would hardly re-
alize being placed in the position of Z
road that stumbled in making a very
important move.
It was admitted in railway circles to-
day that if the Union Pacific acquires
control of the B. & O., it win mean the
breaking down of the barrier between
the trust lines and the granger roads.
F'ar-seeing officials, however, have be-
lieved for some time that that very sit
uation was gradually coming about.

New Rate Regulation Law WIN In
crease Railroad Forces IS Per Cent.
One result of the going into effect of
the new Hepburn rate law has been
greatly to increase the demand for
railroad rate clerks. The revision of
tariffs and the preparation of new ones
made necessary by the law has created
an immense amount of extra work in
the general offices of the railroads,
with the result that the old forces are
quite Inadequate to perform the extra
work required of them. Nearly every
road in the country is reported to be
securing the country for additional
rate clerks. Those in division offices
are being called into the general Of
fees, and the former are left bare. The
new law, it is stated, will require an
increase of Is per cent in the clerical
forces of the railroads.
