HAVE NOT The CARS.
Eastern Roads Refuse to Make Con-
tracts to Move Grain

New York. Oct 31.-FoIIowing the re-
cent protests of western grain shippers
that it is impossible for them to get the
trunk line shippers to move consign-
1ents of grain from Buffalo to New
York, and that in refusing to enter into
contract for these export shipments the
results were greatly hindering the
grain export trade, il Is learned that
the New York Central, the Lackawan-
ma and the Erie have temporarily dis
continued the making Of contraction
grain shipment The cutting off OF
contracts on future shipments was due
to the purely physical condition Of car
shortage.
Francis Labau, freight traffic mana
ger of the New York Central said:
We stopped making contracts on
future shipments about ten days ago
and Will not start up again until We are
able to see our way clear out of the
job of delivering the grain that We
have at Buffalo already under contract.
I ina gine, however that within a cou-
pie Of weeks all the roads will have
the situation cleared up bit and be
able TO make new contracts.
We have at Buffalo at the present
time some four million bushels of grain
awaitfn~ shipment. This mass of grain
represents the capa city of some 5000
cars It would be absolutely inpossi-
BILE for US TO handle this grain at once
and pile up more orders on our hands
without sacrificing our intermediary
trade We can not take all of these
cars and ship them to Buffalo for this
grain and let our way traffic suffer We
have to divide the thing up as eQuita-
bly, as possible"
The Lacka wanna temporarily discon-
tinued future contracts about the same
time that the Central did and the Erie
had taken the same action a few days
previous 1t is believed that they will
all be asked alike to relieve the con-
gestion in a few days and resume the
acceptance of contracts.

FOR A NEW STEEL RAIL.
Manufacturers and Railroads Working
Together to This End.

The combined efforts of the steel
inanufa cturers and the railroads to
find a standard steel rail that will safe
ly bear the weight and incident strain
imposed upon it by the modern loco
can Railway association has been ne
gottatiug the subject to determine
whether a more satisfactory rail could
be made, and in this the steel rlanufaC-
turers have co-operated- The railway
company which has had the matter in
hand reported progress at the semi
annual convention Of the association
here today. The committee agreed on
the advisabilfty of an Improvement in
rail sections, which would afford
definite distribution of metal between
the head and base of the rail and de-
velcp a homogeneous condition of metal
by cooling simultaneously. This Was
approved by the association and also
were technical suggestions regarding
the method of rolling rails.
The association instructed the COM
mittee to continue its inquiry on these
disputed features of railnaking- G. L.
Peck of the Pennsylvania railway,
chairman of the committee, stated that
the committee had conferred with the
American society of civil engineers
and had inspected The principal rail
making plants in the country While
satisfied that a rail answering all pur-
poses would be found he said that on
the question of discard from the tngOt
the committee had discovered a wide

Railroads Organize Bureau for
Transportation of Explosives.
Protect Roads and Employees
From Dangerous Shipments.
MEN TO INSPECT CARS.
All Cars Containing Unsafe
Loads to Be Marked.
Other Items eff Interest to
Railway People.

The railroads of the country have re-
Gently organized a protective associa-
ton known as the bureau for safe
transportation of explosives All the
leading roads in the country are mem
bers Of this organization 1t is to pro-
lecL the raiToacs against careless
packing and handling of high ex-
plosives. The association starts with
one chief inspector and seven assist
ants Their men are stationed in the
large cities and go from town to town
inspecting shipments of powder at the
request of the railroad company
The main offices of this bureau are
located in New York. The organization
has been some time preparing to do
business They are now sending cir
culars Of instructions to the railroad
offices throughout the country.
Agent are first warned against keep
ing cars loaded with high explosives
near the main line. These are to be
kept as far away from the center of
the engine might fall through an open
trap, or a load of dynamite exploded by
humping into another car
Railroad employees are warned about
placarding cars. Great care is to be
taken in placing the right pIacard on
the right car. In case a mistake be
made, either in placarding, or falling
to remove them when the car has been
unloaded. the bureau recommends that
the employee committing the error
should be removed.
Incomplete information on the bill Of
lading IS the head Of another warning.
When it is black powder it should
be so stated on the bill of 1adfng. This
is to prevent the employee from n1fstak-
ing one kind of explosives for another.
The railroad employees are warned
against accepting explosives poorly
packed In case of leakage or if the
goods are neglfgently packed, the ship
ment is to be returned, or taken into
an open field and there destroyed. How
ever. if an Inspector can be secured, the
agents are expected to await his ar
rival
The bureau suggests that the rail-
roads set aside certain days of the
week in which powder and dynamite
are to be received Two days
a week are to be reserved for trans
porting high explosives. This measure
IS to protect the employees and the COM
pany from haphazard shipments and
to make them more uniform.

FREIGHT RATES GO UP.
Further Advances Are Looked for on
Ocean Traffic.

New York, Oct n.-Ocean freight rates
to Europe are from 10 to 20 per cent
higher and they are likely to go still
higher before they reach their former
level, but there is no fear of a scarcity
of room in spite of the Increased exports
to which the shippers are looking forward
this fall
It is estimated by the shippers that
there are IA. 900, 900 bushels of wheat avail
able for export to Europe this year. There
will also be a very heavy expectation Of
flour
This is the opinion of steamship COM
panies which will be the largest factor
in the freight situation, but there has also
been an increased export of copper.

Honduran Colonel, With Army of
 Eight Men, Defles Uncle Sam.

Honduran Colonel, With Army of
 Eight Men, Defles Uncle Sam.
 PUERTO CORTEZ. Honduras, April 2S.-An amusing instance of the armed resistance to American marines by Hon. duran revolutionists came to light in the official correspondence of the Amer ican gunboat Marietta. Colonel Louis lsauila, revolutionist in command of the port of Tela, Honduras, drew revolver upon Ensign McNair of the Marietta when the latter was sent ashore at Tela to say that American marines would protect foreign proper ty. Colonel Isauila threatened to kill the ensign If he did not desist in his purpose of landing marines. Com mander Fullam of the Marietta sent a body of marines ashore to demand an apology from Isauila. These marines found the colonel with eight men drawn up in skirmish line and were told that Colonel Isauila demanded an apology of the Americans. When, how ever, the Americans advanced and said they intended to have an apology, Isauila backed down and wrote one.
 Among the acts for which an apology was asked was the cutting down of a British flag at Salado. Isauila's sol diers threatened the life of William Collins, British subject. who had raised his flag for protection. Com mander Fullam informed the colonel that the American marines would not allow insults to the British flag.
