RAILROAD WORLD

Over 1000 people passed through Bir-
 mingham yesterday morning on the four
 sections of train No. of the Louisville
 and Nashville, the regular section or
 which was due in Birmingham at S;25
 a. m.
 This extraordinary movement was due to two causes. Many of those on the train were en route to New Orleans for
 Mardi Gras. the low rates for which have
 gone into effect. But majority were | homeseekers going from Chicago and the middle west to various southern states. The movement was the heaviest in the history of that road through Birming- ham,.
 Train No. 3, due in Birmingham at o'clock yesterday afternoon, was run in
 two sections, and three or four hundred
 more passengers passed through Bir- l mingham for more southerly points.
 The Louisville and Nashville has made extensive preparation to handle Mardi l Gras business. Six extra sleepers to be attached to the various trains to New Orleans, have been secured, and the first of these left Birmingham yesterday These sleepers are for the Birmingham travel alone. Ten more seepers are to be used at Montgomery, beside those
 brought from the points north of Bir mingham.
 The Queen and Crescent Route is mak- | ing extra preparation to handle the Mardi
 Gras travel. An extra sleeper was put
 on train No. 1 last night for New Or leans, and arrangements have been made | for an extra sleeper on the same train every night until February 26 These | seepers are placed under the shed at 9 | o'clock as an accommodation and are att | tached to the train when it arrives. | Nearly. all the space on all these sleep | CTS has been sold, and the demand is strong. It is probable that the Queen and 1 Crescent will make arrangements for still other sleepers in order to accommodate | the movement.
 l F. w. Gaylord, commercial agent of the National Lines of Mexico. with head | quarters in Cincinnati, was in Birming- ] ham yesterday.
 R. S. Fife, commercial agent of the Mis- souri, Kansas and Texas railroad, with headquarters in Atlanta, was in Brming- ham yesterday.
 J. McAllister, commercial agent or the Norfolk and Western, with head quarters in Chattanooga, was in the city yesterday.
 J. ". Harrison, district passenger agent of the Southern railway, stated yesterday that the Mardi Gras business to Mobile and Pensac cola was heavier this year than ever before. He says that the people in Birmingham are not travelling to either of these cities in very large numbers but that the movement from other parts of his territory is very large.

FREIGHT coNGESTED.
AccumuIations at Birmingham Are
 Giving Roads Some Trouble.

Louisville, February 21.-Although the traffic officials of the Louisville and Nashville practically had decided to lift the embargo on freight caused by heavy traffic. it was found impossible to move the great accumulation about Brmng- ham and other southern points, and the embargo has been extended. So far as live stock and perishable freight Is con- cerned, the Louisville ard Nashville is handling all offerings, but other classes of stable shipments are being refused.
 The chief difficulty of the road Is in the matter of motive power Last Sun day several thousand cars were collected near Birmingham and much difficulty has been found in properly disposing of the accumulation.

Washington February 2.-At the sug- gestion of Senator Tillman the House committee on interstate and foreign com meree made an amendment today in the resolution which it has agreed to recom- mend for favorable action for the investi- gation of the alleged railway monopoly Of coal and oil.
 As the resolution was originally framed 1t provided for an investigation by the interstate commerce commission as to whether railways own the coal and oil they haul. but It was the purpose of the committee to extend investigation indefi- nitely to all railroad ownerships to mines and properties. To make the resolution clear an amendment was accepted which specifically provides for the investigation of the ownership of the coal companies.
 The following report has been prepared by Representative Townsend at the re- quest of the committee to accompany the resolution,
