RAILWAY NOTES.

The Hartman lines have issued a
statement to the effect that 40,OOO,OOO
passengers were carried over the sys-
tenn during the past year and that no
one was killed.
. A family conference of the Missouri
Pacific operating and traffic officials
was held at the st. Louis general Of
fees for discussion of Kansas lines
schedules. No announcements yet.
The Missouri Pacific is preparing
specifications for rs locomotives, most
ly for freight service. and will ask for
bids on the same shortly.
A. L. Mohler, vice president and
general manager of the Union Pacific,
returning from tour OF EuroRe, finds
occasion to take exceptions to the gen
eraI belief abroad that there are a
great many more train wrecks in this
country than there are anywhere in
Europe which he declares is entirely
unfounded.
AS result of an announcement that
the Grand Trunk railroad will not JIM
crease it's summer tourist rates this
year, it is now regarded as certain that
all the other roads handling eastern
tourist traffic will adhere to the basis
in force last year-one and one-third,
plus $3.50, for the round trip.
The Illinois Central railroad has
made a practice of filling coal cars
south bound with the snow from its
Chicago yards and shipping it south.
Most Of it meIts en- route. What is left
when the cars reach their destination
is shoveled out and melts in short
time. Inasmuch as the cars are want
ed in the south anyway. it is figured
that the scheme is cheaper than pay
ing for the hauling of the snow to
Lake Michigan.
The Southern Pacific. dealing with
a strike of enginemen and f1remen on
it's lines in Mexico, has filled the va
cancies by the appointment of Next
cans.

AN INCREASE IN IDLE CARS.
Surplus Equipment Shown Chiefly
Among the Coal Lines.

Chicago. Ill. Feb. 14.-Further in
crease in idle railroad equipment
which has taken place up to February
is indicated in the latest report of
the American Railway association,
published today, showing condition of
car SURPRISES and shortages for the
United States and Canada. The total
surplus reported for the 1st day of this
month is 1886 cars, which is an in
crease over the total of two weeks ago
of 34,05S cars. The increase is made
up almost entirely, says the commit
tee on relations between railroads, Of
coal and miscellaneous cars, which in
creased rs, 442 and 5,431, respectively.
OF the increase in coal equipment,
more than so per cent is in the eastern
and middle states. The increase in
cars is found principal
ly in coke cars in the eastern states,
and stock cars in the Pacific states.
Box cars show an increase of only
1857 in the surplus, the largest item
of this class being in the Canadian ter

Mallet locomotive converted in its own

Jacobs-Shupert fireb01es and with the
exception of two, with rigid boilers. OF
the two flexible boilers one Is anticu-
lated by a double ball joint applied by
the Baldwin Locomotive works and
somewhat similar in design to the
Leighty joint described; the other is
provided with the Vauclain bellows type
joint. All of these locomotives are in
service in the Panhandle district of
Texas. The locomotives with articula-

KAWS GO TO WICHITA
Four Trip Schedule Adopted
and Waiver Rule.
Clubs Are to Have Protection
on Draft and Sale.

st. Joseph, Mo, Feb. 14.-After
adopting a schedule for the coming
season and making a few changes in
the rules, Western league club owners
who have been in session here for two
days, adjourned last night. The sea-
son will open April 81 and close Oc-
tober s. Each team will make the Cir
cult four times and the series Will con-
sist of but three games. One of the
rules adopted protects clubs which
loses players to the major leagues
either by draft or sale. The rule pre-
vents any other club in the league
from buying these players If they fail
to make good until the club that sold
them has had an opportunity to get
them back. A waiver rule, preventing
clubs from selling players to clubs out
side of the league until they had offer
ed them to clubs in the league, was
adopted. The waiver price was set az
$3.50. The rule governing scoring was
changed. Hereafter all official scorers
will have to keep track of the runs
batted in. The adoption of an official
ball was left with President oNell-
He stated that he would not announce
his choice for several days.

NATIONALS IN SESSION.
Would Revise Rules But johnson VIII
Not Come In

New York, Feb 14-The baseball
magnates of the National league were
All on hand early today for the second
session of their annual meeting. the
first part of which was held in De-
cember. The sessions will probably
last until late tomorrow or Thursday.
Rumors OF possible lively doings have
peen flying around the circuit for the
lasi lew weeks, and there We're indi-
cations today that clashes were i'm
pending over several subjects. The
clash Will be over the proposed adop-
tlon or new official league ball for
1872, 1t is expected. Other subjects
on which a difference of opinion was
not unlikely were the alleged attitude
OF President Lynch toward the UNI
p1re situation, the schedule committee
draft of dates and the question of rules
revision.
Charles w. Murphy, owner of the
Chicago team, declared before the
meeting that he had many suggestions
as to possible changes in the rules, but
he admitted that after all was said
and done, the meetings of the rules
committee would be merely perfume
tory.
Nothing can be done because no
American league rules committee has
been appointed by President Johnson
without his cooperation no changes
can be made. Murphy was frank in
ms criticism of Johnson for this lack
of cooperation.
johnson has violated the national
agreement and is making a joke of
baseball declared Murphy. ''He is
duty bound to appoint a committee,
but just because he heard that I had
issued a call for suggestions for
changes in the rules, he did not do it.
There are number of changes
that ought to be taken up and care
fully discussed. Probably some excel
lent alterations would be made. But
what is the use? johnson won't have
1t, SO we are stumped.''
