BUSINESS CHECK.
Onward Rush of Prosperity Has
Been Arrested.
That Is the View Taken by
Inner Wall Street.
is NOT A BAD THING
Hartman Says Roads Have More
Than They Can Do.
Slowing Up Means Less Expense
and More Surplus.

Chicago, March 14.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from New York says:
Beyond the slightest doubt Inner
Wall street believes a check to general
business has resulted from the railway
situation, and that this check will grow
more apparent. The activity of state
legislatures has aroused thoroughly the
large railway interests of the country.
The cost of borrowing money has been
increased and there will be a marked
reduction in expenditures During an
interview E. H. Hartman was asked
what would be the effect on general
business of the withdrawal of the rail-
ways from the iron and steel markets.
He replied:
Il do not wish to answer that ques-
tion. 1 have been asked it before"
would a check to business be the
worst thing that could happen?"
1t might not be an unmixed evil,''
Mr. Hartman said. The railways now
have more business than they can han
die A slowing up would mean the cur
tailment of expenditures, an increase in
the surplus of the roads. 1t would mean
also a lessened demand for labor and a
reduced demand for money. These in
consequence would become cheaper
"A check to business is, of course bet
ter than a full STOP" Mr.. Hartman n
added. but what would be applicable
to full stop will be measurably true
of slow up
When Mr. Hartman was asked for a
solution of the national problem, he said
in part:
I'VE want the Sherman antitrust law
repealed so far as it relates to the rail-
ways. / believe it was not intended
that its provisions should embrace the
railways. 1t was SO asserted at the
time the measure was under discussion
prior to it's enactment.
IF reasonable rates and agreements,
approved under the proper authority of
the national government, could be in-
augurated. then legislation by states
so far as it related to interstate traffic
might become null and void We be-
lieve that if the national government
should approve our rates as being rea-
sonable the action would be reflected
in the state legislatures"

CARS SMASHED.
Five of Them Torn to Pieces by
Louisville Mob.
Many Stores and Residences
Also Were Damaged.
POLICE is POWERLESS
Firing Over Heads of the Crowd
Had No Effect.
Strikebreakers Were Chased
Away and Badly Beaten.

Louisville. Ky March 14.-Tho
most serious riotinS since the street
car strike began was witnessed at IL
O'Clock at Fourteenth and Chestnut
streets. Five cars were broken to
pieces. Several persons were badly
injured.
The mob numbered 1000 and when
the first of three cars reached the
scene the outbreak began. The cars
were smashed with stones and the en-
tire front end of one car was torn out
Other cars were literally torn to pieces
and many stores and residences in the
vicinity were damaged.
When the riot reached its height
and the police saw that they would be
unable to cope with it by ordinary
means. they began firing over the
heads of the crowd, but this only in
creased the fury of the mob. The
surging mass of men and boys then
made a determined attack on the po-
lice. During this onslaught, Police,
Corporal Whitman was hit in the head
with a rock and badly hurt. Those of
the mob who were injured in the rush
were hurried away by friends.
The attack came as result of the
gates at a railroad crossing being
down to allow train to pass. When
the gates were raised, the motorman
turned on the current and jumped off,
the car. A big delivery wagon going
up Chestnut street was struck by the
flying car. The car was demolished
and the horses and wagon thrown over
on the sidewalk. The car was left
crosswise on the track.
The strikebreakers jumped off and
were charged. and chased by the mob.
A number of the strikebreakers were
badly beaten. The fleeing men ran
through the yards of private resi-
dences and many escaped. Police re-
serves were hurried to the scene with
all the mounted policemen that could
be reached. They charged the crowd
repeatedly.
Farley, the strikebreaker. is in the
city.
Twelve policemen in addition to
Captain Reilly have been suspended
from duty UP to noon today for in
esubordination. az
A conference composed of repre-
sentatiyes of the various. business or
ganizations has agreed with the street
railway directors on terms for settling
tho strike. The terms will be sub
mitted to the union men tonight. The
committees refuse to, give out the
stipulations.

. VIOLENT SLUMP.
Rapid Decline in Stocks Carries
Santa Fe Down to SO IA.
Reading and the Pacific Are
Also Hard Hit.
IN ENORMOUS BLOCKS.
Securities Were Thrown on the
Market at Any Price.
Call on Washington for Help
Goes Unheeded.

New York. March 14.-An extreme
" violent slump in stocks occurred
just before 1880 today Reading sold
at 80, Union Pacific at 81 4, Atchison
at S3A, Northern Pacific at 121,
Southern Pacific at FIX and Amalga-
mated Copper at 90, all wide declines
from last night
Great disorder and excitement at
tended the slump and enormous blocks
were thrown out for what they
would bring. There were few bids un-
DERIVING the market and the con-
sequence was a series of wide drops
reaching a point between sales in
many instances.
Call money loaned at 10 per cent
early in the day thus indicating the
continued preparations for the large
divid end and subscription payments
due tomorrow.
The selling on the MONDAY slump
was more disorderly and wild than at
any time yesterday. Blocks of stocks
were offered in 1000 to 5000 share
lots, and in the most active stocks few
smaller lots appeared. Many orders
were for sale at the market This
kind of selling in such enormous
blocks caused the demoralizing breaks
The sudden resumption of liquidation
gave rise to fears of mysterious un-
revealed developments. Some of the
most eager sellers profeSSed entire
hOpeleSSneSS over the course or feglS-
lative procedure towards the railroads
and telegraphic messages from Wash
ington to brokerage houses that any
steps by the government to allay the
existing apprehension were improb-
able were made the basis for bear at
tacks.
During the last hour while the break
in prices was at its worst there wer-
many reports concerning possibility of
the national government coming to the
relief of the money market At the
subtreasury Assistant Treasurer Fish
said that up to 2:S0 o'clock no infornna-
ton had been received from Washing
ton with regard to depositing customs
receipts in banks but he said that Sec
retary Cortelyou had the matter under
advisement. 1t was reported in TIE
street that Mr.. Cortelyou is expected to
make an announcement after the close
Of the market. At 2Eo o'clock the de-
cline again became extremely. violent,

president will, if urged by the railroads.
give out some expression which Will
blast the agitators and the corporation
baiterS. The president has already done
this pretty effectively in his muck-rake
speech He deplores the attack from
whatever source on railroads just be-
cause they are railroads. He regards
himself as a better friend to railroads
which do an honest business and are
conducted on honest lines than any of
those who would cry halt on him. He
would make it easy and safe for the
honest railroads to do business. but the
dishonest railroads, manipulated for
stock jobbing purposes. he would
squeeze until legitimacy was forced on
them.
Those who have talked with the
president know that he appreciates
the popular resentment against the
political domination of the railroads
through legislative ana political law
yers. If the railroad magnates come
seeking his advice about placing their
affairs in shape so as to avoid harsh
treatment a the hands of the people,
he will tell them that one way will be
to dismiss their politicians hired to di-
rect the public's affairs and stick to
the legitimate business of running
their railroads.
The western resentment against the
railroads is not due to the man in the
White House so his friends declare 1t
roads to leave the people alone in
managing their states and electing
their officials This effort al domina-
ton antedates the political leadership
of Theodore Roosevelt and the agita-
ton can not be stopped by White
House pronouncement-
James Speyer of New York saw the
president for short time this after
noon, and promptly returned to that
city. No information was obtainab BILE
about the subject of the conversation,
but it was generally understood that
it related to the fall in stocks. and ru-
NOR had il that Mr. Speyer was there
for the purpose of urging the president
to avert any further trouble in the
stock market by making a public de-
claration at once.
The suddenness with which Mr..
Speyer arrived and the quickness with
which he departed lent currency to
the report 1t had all the earmarks
of hurry call. He seemed TO have
dashed over TO washington on the first
train and bolted right back. and his
behavior was that of a man in an
emergency.
After Mr.. Speyer's call Secretary
Cortelyou went to the White House
and had a long talk with the presi-
dent. Mr.. Root went there and stay
ed with the president until late hour.
Mr.. Cortelyou and Mr. Root are New
Yorkers. and the men to whom other
New Workers would be apt to appeal
in a sudden crisis If it were desirable
to get the presidents ear in a hurry.

A grand total of 1882 votes cast
