ICE DEALERS INDICTED.
The Boston Men Refuse at Present
 to Discuss the Situation.

Boston. Aug. 14.-The majority of the ice dealers who were indicted yesterday on the charge of conspiracy to raise the price of Ice are. unwill- ing to say anything about the mat ter, Two or three of them, how ever, are emphatic in declaring that the charge is unwarranted. Jarvis w. Fefris. president of the Independ- ent Ice Co said:
 Without knowing what District Attorney Moran is driving at, l fancy he thinks there is concerted at tempt to raise the price of ice. am willing to grant his sincerity, but his premises are wrong. The fact is the present prices are forced on us because of the excessive warm win ter. We have raised the price in the same ratio that the railroads have advanced the freight rates on ice. The Massachusetts Ice Dealers as- sociation is social body, but does not fix prices. We have done no wrong. Dealers are not looking to make profit this year even at the prices asked. We shall be ready with counsel when the time comes to meet the charge"
 Charles w. Hallstram. secretary of the Massachusetts Ice Dealers asso- citation, said: All I have to say is that SO far as I know I have done nothing criminal. and think know the law. 1 believe also that the Ice dealers association has done nothing criminal"

Japanese Cotton Trade.

San Francisco. Aug 14.-Yoshu- chi Sakuri has just arrived from Japan. in the interests of the cotton merchants of Japan. Speaking of the trade of the United States with Japan, he says that in the next ten years Japan will get over three fourths of her cotton from the United States. He added: Last year Japan used over 100000 bales of cotton and only one-fourth of that was from the United States. The rest came from India and Asia. This cotton is very inferior to that which comes to Japan from the southern states, and all the fine work is made with cotton from the United States. The other is found to be much coarser and rots easier. The Japanese realize the su- periorfty of the American article and all first-class cotton weavers are com ing to use 1t. The export of cotton from the United States to Japan is bound to increase enormously in the next few years"

Railroads to Consolidate.

Pittsburg, Pa. Aug 14.-Papers of consolidation of three railroads in different parts of Pennsylvania will be filed at Harrisburg this week. which will constitute the formal an- nouncement of a project of promi- nent foreign bankers associated with Joseph Ramsey, jr. former president of the Wabash railroad. to build a low grade double track railroad from New York to Chicago by way of Pittsburg, which will cost about $l50. .000, ,000. Complete surveys have already been made and 1t is expected that work preliminary to actual grad- Ing and construction next spring will begin this fall. It is expected that the road will require three years to construct. It is contemplated to oper- ate it with electric locomotives from the beginning. It will be known as the New York. Pittsburg & .Chicag' Air line, and will be sixty-fiSe miles shorter to New York than the Penn sylvania and 10S miles shorter thai the shortest line between New York and Chicago.
 l-e new Keystone Air line will traverse the important bituminou coal fields of central Pennsylvania. now controlled by the Pennsylvania railroad. and vii also piece the ar thracite region throughout its length. It will not only be the shortest lin through Pennsylvania. but 1t will cross the summit of the Allegheny mountains 400 feet lower than the Pennsylvania and will have very easy curves and remarkably low grades for a mountain line.
 MT Ramsey confirms the above in a telegram from New York to tn, Pfttsburg Dispatch. The telegram says the information is correct. The cost of the line between Pittsburg and New York, MT Ramsey says. is estimated to be between I 5.000.0 900 and s100. 1000. 900. all of which has been pledged. the bulk of 1t by for eign capitalists.
 The merger papers to be filed this week will provide for the consolida- ton of the Indiana. Clearfield & Eas- tern: the Allentown. Tamaqua & Ashland. and the Brush Creek & Cur rows Run railroad.
