BIG COMBINE OF
FREIGHT LINES

Milwaukee, Jan 19.-The most I'M
portant and by far the most sweeping
consolidation of freight lines of the
great railway systems and combina-
tons of the country brought about in
years is booked to be made within a
short time by the Vanderbilt system.
The plan is absolute consolidation
of all fast freight" lines and dis
patch lines" which have for years
been operated under the Vanderbilt
system, and will place all the lines
under one corporation, the Merchants
Dispatch company.
The principal dispatch and freight
lines which are to be absorbed or
consolidated under the one head of
the Merchants Dispatch company are
those operating over the Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern road; Big Four,
Michigan Genital and Grand Trunk.
These various freight lines have ben
operating chiefly over me Vanderbilt
system, which covers roads with IL.
292 miles, principally in the east.
This sweeping move in the direction
of concentration of the great railway
systems will result in number Of
official retirements and changes OF
agents throughout the country.

democrats are upholding and applaud
ing the president while republicans
have been forcibly expressing their
denunciation. Senator Foraker or
Ohio led the republicans and Senator
Tillman the democrats in lengthy
colloquy of criticism. while Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts for the
former party and Senator Clay of
Georgia for the latter arty sustained
the executives action. The constitu-
tionality question in regard to the
matter does not appear TO be strong
against the president, while precedent
seems to favor him.

Cincinnati, O., JAM 19.-With
second rise reported at the head wa
tiers of the Ohio river, while the whole
valley was still in the grip of the
greatest flood known for more than
20 years, the outlook last night was
indeed gloomy. Every town along
the river is suffering from crippled
communications, limited fuel supply
and shortage of food. thousands OF
families have been rendered homeless
and many thousands of men are idle
because of the enforced shutting
down of establishments that gave
them employment. A number of cit
les were in darkness last night be-
cause OF broken gas mains or flooded
light plants. The rising river has
gone far above the landing places
along the river, and towns depend
ing on the river solely have been cut
OH from their source of supplies At
IIonton more than 100 families were
driven from their homes; at Ports
mouth 1000 refugees are in schools
and other vacant buildings; at New
port, KY, 800 families have had to be
cared for. In this city the number
has gone above 1000 families and
more are being driven from their
homes hourly, while similar reports
come in from all the towns along the
river.
Governor Harris yesterday ordered

Imitation Of American Oatmeal.

Consul General Henry Bordewich reports
from Christiania, under date Of December
6, 1905, that he has received letter from
q Norwegian importer Of American rolled
oats. who asserts that certain foreign mill
ers are selling rolled oats of their own
manufacture in Christiania, in packages
bearing labels which are calculated to mis-
lead customers and to make them believe
that the goods are made in the United
States.
The complainant states that one foreign
brand is marketed in sacks stamped with
the American flag, and urges the adoption
of some means to protect the sale of the
American product. The consul general
writes that although rolled oats are now
manufactured to a limited extent in Nor
way, American rolled oats are well received
