Tue OwMaHA Dally BEE THIRTEENTH YEAR. OMAHA, NEB., MO DAY MORNING, JUNE 1, 1885. NO. 244 WHITE CAPS. Breakers Ahead for the Cleveland Administration. Even 01d Jeff Davis is Not En- tirely Satisfled. Protectiv Tariff, National Banks and Bilver Ooinage Thorns in Democratic Flanks, STORMS BREWIN! REPUBLICAN SEATORS CA Special Telegram to The Bre, ‘WasHiNGTON, May 31, —Senator Van Wyck will leave in a fow daya to spend the summer at home. the purpose of endeavoring to ascertain the policy of the new administration relative to NG, land grants, the Indian country encroach. [ " ment of cattle kin:s and the illegal feuces, Van Wyck is confident that the commissioner of the land office is disposed to carry out in the full spirit the laws relating to these sub- jects, and he thinks that the administration 1n its own time will concur with Commissioner Sparks. There is such tremendous pressure of office-seekers, however, that there is great delay, and 8o mnch time may ba occupied in peddling the places {hat the interests of the ple in this direciion may be neglected, mu asked whother the resolutions raported to have been adopted by the republican eena- tora in caucus, as to their policy with respect to confirmations were accurate or not, Van Wyck said: “I did not attend all the cau- cutes, but think that if such action had been taken in my absence 1 should certainly have been informed of it afterwards. Another reason for m{ disbalief in the publication is that 1 think the repub- lican senators would have more sense than to write or formulate such an idle resolution as is the ;second, that in case any democratic par tizan causes the removal of an efficient repub- Jican and receives as his roward for causing such removal the nomination as successor to the decapitated official, such nomination will not be confirmed. No, sir, The general dis- ition of the senate to treat the pres- lent kindly and fairly as the democrats did the republican president.” Senator Morrill, of Vermont, on being ques- tioned on the subject, eaid: *“I would prefer not to talk about it, but I will say pl{ this, that if 1 wero editor of any paper would not think it worth taking the least notice of.” “Tam satisfled,” said Senator Dolph of Oregon, *‘that such resolutions were never passed, I don't care to_say angthing further han that. As for considering that political reasons would be regarded as safficient cause for the removals by republican senators, I can only speak for myself, I believe that if federal officials who have a term of office to run - be removed for cause the senate would consider it had a right to look into the reasons itself. OF course this is my own individual opinion, T can’t say what the senate would do, Ths truth is that the sub- jeot of the future action of the mejority in relation to the nominations was discussed io caucus at different times, but no definite line of policy was adopted, It was found that the republicans differed among themselves, Some contended that so long as the senate was republican it ehould do all in ita power to keep republicans in office, Others boldly declared that the democrats had elected the president and were entitled to the officss. About the nearest approach to any fixed policy was the action taken in per- mitting eases of one or two democrats non nated to succeed republican collectors of reve nue but recently appointed, togo over with. out action, It seemed to the view of the majority that the republican collectors who were but recently installed ought not to ke displaced, but that no objection would be made to removals of collectors who had eerved several years. It will remain with the senate to fix the policy with regard to the nominations of next winter.” Copgressman Mills, of Texas, is here. He is a blunt, plain, sincere man, and an enthusi- astic free trader, He believes that the demo cratic party is the party of free trade, and does not propose to bridle his toogue out of any consideration for expediency. He says that he bas prepared a tariff Dill which he will introduce at the next session, Itis h free trade bill. He was opposed to Morrison’s horizontal bill and favors no conces- sions on that subject. Mills is mnot repared to speak avainst the administion ut he evidently will be one of the leaders among southern men against the protective tariff aud national bank policles, which, it is clear, the Cleveland adminiatration will adopt, This declaration of Mills is one indication of tho congressicnal breakers which are shead for the administration, The visit of Congressman Waraer, of Ohio, the famous silver ma, is another indication of the comivg storm. Warser isan a ggres- pive silver man. He dces not believe in the policy of suspending the coinage. Ho doos not indorse tho viswa of the admiuistra- tion on this subject. It was to Waraer that the president’s letter on ilver was addressed, and the radical men 1n the democracy have never been satistied that Cleve uud ‘should have outned a policy upon that subject be- fore he delivered his inaogural, The admin- istration will find itself in sharp antagonism to very powerful elements in its party on finance, bank sud tariff questions, Dr, Garnett, of this city, is a close personal friend of Jefferson Davis, and during the brief carecr of the confederats president was his family phyeician and most constant at- tendant, ~ While attendiog » recent meeting of the American medical association at New Orleans, Dr. Gainett visited Davis, In de- seriblog his visit, Garnett is thus reported in the Star to-day: “In bis phyeical condition he exhibits much less the impress of tlme than 1 had expected to see; is quite a8 erect in person as formerly, walks with a firm step and. speaks with the same clear, distinct and emphatio articulation which disticguished his .zyh in early days. In the courze of our con- verantion during the day, Mr. Davis alluded to the present condition of the country by saying that he knew vothing of the present oxecutive and that he had not yet progressed far enough with the administration for him to form an opinion of it, He seemed satisfied with the members |of the cabivet selected from the south but was not dispoted, I thought, to enter- tain a very hopeful view of e} future, as he snid that the; respect, love, and veneration for the constitution which animated citizens of the United States before the war bad now departed from our people and that the tem of goverument erectsd by our forefathers exlated only in name; that there were elements of disi ration and and disruption at work in our midst which could only be restored and held in check by force; that the underly- ing and fandamental principles upon which our system of government was erected, and upon which the constitution, as it was before the war rested, were fast becou ing absolutely forgotten by the old men and never learned by the young; that under tke rule of republi- canism, during the war aud subsequent to it, the coustitution was made a rope of sand and that while this party, of so-called liberal idess, was proclaiming universsl freedom and equality on the one hund they were tearing down and blotting out the very safeguards which alone under our form of goyernment could secure it to them."” 1 asked him if it was true,” continued the doctor, *‘that he had suthorized sny petition to bo presented to the federal onities to bave his disablliiies removed, He replied, atically, in the negative, and added written an’ of letter to the author of that petition, callivg his attention o the fact, o said that he had at all times been parfectly willing to undergo & tria!, if the government thought proper to briog on such an lasue, provided he was to be uied :‘mct.}y under the provisions of the constitu- on,’ The ers of democratic simplicit, has not yet fully returned, The president in all bis Ho has remained here malnly for | & moves evinces a desire to avoid mixing with the common herd, ana takes évery occasion to shun the people, save when absolately cbliged to meet them, It was announced, for in tance, yesterday, that he would leave for New York at 10 o'clock at night, and a small crowd gathered to see him, but he left at 4 o'clock. He did not travel as other passen- wers do, in an nrdmnv car; on the contrary he, with Secretaries Whitney and Endicots, took a private car, the property of the vice: president of one of the bloated railway monop- olies democratic orators talk about. It is pretty well understood in government circles that neither of the New York cablnet officers—Manning and W hitney— desires to stand o8 & candidate for the nomination for governor of New York, They remember Folger, but it is now balieved in the inner circle of New York politicians that Manning and Whitney have agreed to recommend to the president that the adminis. tration shall support R. P, Flower for that place, Flower has not thrown away ambition even if his name was not mentioned in the presidentisl nominating convention at Chi: cigo, He was hore a few days ; had & long interview with the president, - Whitney and Manning, and it is common talk here that the primary object of the president’s visit to ew York is to coneult with the local leaders asto the advisability of hringing out Flower, It seems that the days of the barral are not et to end. e i Friends of the administration are free with their charges that the president has been de- ceived by congressional delegations, Charges now extend to Michizan, Colorado, Kentncic and to some members of Virginia_and Sout Carolina, and the following incident is vouched for by a good democratic authority: A remarkablo exposuro of attenpt to palm off an unfit applicant occurred in Secrotary Man- ning’s office the other day. A United States senator had in tow a man confirmed in intem- perate habits whom he was pushing for an in- ternal revenue appointment. A gentleman from the state who knew the applicant went h; seo the president and Iaid the facts before m, 1 wish you would lay the facts? before the secretary of the treasury,” eaid tho president. The gentlemen reached the secretary’s of- fice to find tho senator and his bibulous friend in consultation with Manning. He oslled the latter personuge asido and said that the candidate was a drankard, “‘Well,” said Mauning, ‘'you say you can substantiate your charges “Suppose we settle the matter right hers.” Bnnfrng these vis itors together he told the gentleman to his chargein the presence of the candidate. The candiiate wilted and confessed that the charge was true, Ho withdrew his applica- tion and returned with his senatorial friend, The latter was not at all abashed by the ex posure, and recommended another ‘man who proyed to be under indictment. In another casn where a treasury appolntment was made on the recommenda- tion of several congresemen, Secretary Man- ning learned, after the commission had been mailed, that the appointee had been indicted for quite a serious offense, A dispatch de- manding his resignation forthwith nipped an- other ecandal in the bud, 3 An lpfillcntion for an important appoint- ment in the railway mail servico is pending before Postmaster Greneral Vilas, which bears the names of congressmen, and judges, and business men of Ohio. The man they recom- mend was a defaulter and the men who recom- mended him knew it. ——— APACHE OUTRAGES, THE FAMILY OF COL, PHILLIPS HORRIBLY MUII- LATED—THE INDIANS REACH MEXICO. DeyiNG, N, M., May 31,—Nine of Geroni- mo's band of Indiaus succeeded in crossing into Mexiico, A band of twenty-fivecrossed the Southern Pacific track ninety-five miles west of this place yesterday, heading for Mexico. They followed the old trail over which the Indians have passed on their raids into Mexico for years. The soldiers were camped about seven miles from the trail for several , notwithstanding they knew the Indians would travel on the old trail to reach Mexico, and could have killed or captured the entire band. _So for the preseut the raid may be considered over on this side of the border. The two bands will probably meet at Cass Grande, Reports that the Navajos and Mes- caleros are on the warpath are unfounded, 8SiLver CiTy, Arizona, May 3),—The bodies of Col.

Pulling a revolver, he be- wan firing into the soloon, which was crowded, Axtell fired five ehots, kiling two men out- right, wounding a third fatally, and two more_seriously.

This statement, made on the highest authority, practioally settles, says the News, in a satis- factory manner the whole question. Marachak and Zulfikar passes remain Afghan posees- sions, The statement is probably true, It serves the miniaterial organ as a tdxt for a comic sermon on the wickedness of those who have criticised the liberal government’s for- eign policy. The liberal ministry after sur- rendering evergthing else to Russia has suc- ceeded in saving two bits of territory belong- ing to its ally, Tha liberal organ thereupon congratulates the nation on having obtained everything it could fairly demand. It declares that Gladstone has crowned his illustrions career once more renderingto the country a signal service, 'he force of the pathos could go no farther, Tke truth is that the very existence of the dispute is almost forgottsn since ENGLAND O)l RUSSIA WOULD NOT FIGHT over this mera remnant of desert, The kng- lish, hardened to humiliation, rather expected the ministry to make one more concession to | and are moderately grateful for being spared the last straw. still open. ROSEDRRRY’S VISIT TO BISMARCK. Lord Bosebsrry's visit to Berlin was, until this mornine, the chief topic of the lust few days, Tho Times Fuhli-hud on Taesday a long telegram from Paris purporting to give, on the authority of a person arriving from Vienna, an authentic narrative of what was happening iu Berlin, The Pall Mall Gazette has_ summarized this aco-nnt as Bismarck’s notice that England waa to bo turned out of Figypt, the Soudan, and Afghanistan, havioy missed her ctance 1 each and becoming a nuisance tu Burope. Efforts have been made to represent Rose- bery’s mission to Berlia as an appeal to Bis- marck's forbearance, It bore no such charac- ter. 1t was equaly inaccurate to describe it as wholly unofficial. It is not due however, to the strain of the present situation. Rose: berry was going at easter, but_was preventod by his brother’s desth. He discussed politios with Biemarck, doubtless heard the plain truth about England’s childlike behavior in Egypt and elsewhere, and probably received asturance that the finance question in Egypt would be settled on a reasonable basis, The papers in every country of Europe publish ro- ports of the interview, mostly the merest Ruesswork, REMODELED EGYPTIAN ISSUES, The Egyptian question is obviously enter ing a now phass, This government never ex- hibits go much energy as when having re- sponsibilities.

It is generally believed among the politicians that Russis bas agreed to allow the Afghanistan claims to be both Zulficar and Maruckah, It does not appear, however, that the czar has agreed even provisionally £ ay treaty bivding him to refrain from further advancing, Many efforts aro being made to securs from him such an agreement and their failure tends to strengtien the conviction that Russia has imply dickered in order to save time al that .she is determinel to con- tioue her progress southward, conservatives find in this state of subject for denuncistiog Gladstone’s man- sgement of the dispute. l‘nr{ papers declare that unless Russia gives Eoglaud a guaranty against further advance southward, coupled with a pledge to respect the independence of Afghanistan, there can be no probability of avy durable peace, The general public, on the other hand, seem to place the most im- plicit confidence in (iladstone's statements that peace is assured, Under the prospect held out by this sssursuce, a general and manifest improvement KOIX? on in the in- dustries of the countries, I the buildivg and transportation trades are busy, Farm laborers are in demand, both at home and in the colonics, The ewmigration returns even show a perceptable declive, DILKE STILL HINMSELY, Sir Oharles Dilke, the troublesome radical member of Gladstone's cabinet, ard the head and front of the rebellion sgainst the renswal of the crimes act, has not, it appears, been converted b{ the earl of Spencer, the Irish viceroy, The lord lientenant has assisted toward the renewal of the bill and it is gen- erally thought was the main influence which induced Mr, (iladetone to commit the govern- ment to_n renewal of the policy when Sir Charles Dilke rebelled against the renewal and sucoeeded in splitting the eabinet on the question, The premier managed, it is said, to have him invited to Dublin to attend meet- ings_of the commission on housing the Irish oor, Asna ministerial visitor to the Irish capital, Sir Charles, as & matter of course, became the guest of the vicsrey at Dublin castlo and the hope waas that Spencer would be able by showing him the Irish situation in some new light to at least mitigate his po sition toward the government's announced program on the renewal policy. But it seemn that Spencer's missionary work had been in vain and Sir Charles returns to London per- fectly intractible, The reeult will undoubtedly be abackdown on the part of the government which will probably get out of its dilemma by introducing a harmless renewal bill to remain in farce about thres months, HARTINGTON'S DILZMMA, There can hardly be s doubt now that the marquis of Hartington, secretary of war, the other ministarial holiday visitor to Ireland found himself, on a personal examination of the Irish situation, unable to justify the gov. ernment’s af de on the renewal and that this fact lies at the bottom of tho mdilrolition which he gave as the reason for canceling all his engagements to make speeches throughout the Ulster distriot, TRUE TO IRISH-AMERICAN EFFORTS, Irish papera of nationalist sympathies de- plore the alleged attompt to discredit the na- tional league in American ‘)nlltiul attacks in the United States against Egan, treasurer of the old land league.

RUN BY A MAD MAN, Ao Armed Lunatic Capatres an Bx- press Train on the Wabash. Ais Levelled Revolver is the Law from Kausas City to Chicago. The Police ot Many Places Appalled by him-—Desperate Battle at Chicago—One Officer Killed. ——— A THRILLING EXPERIENCE, FIVE HUNDRED MILES WITH A MANIAC, Cn0aco, I, May 31,—Passenger train number six on the Wabash, St, Louis & Pa- cifio road arrived here to-day an hour and a half lato in charge of & mad man, Out of the twelvoor fifteen men, officors and citizons, who finally secured him, one officer is dead, shot through the body, another probably fatally wonaded, soveral citizens injured, and the lunatic himself lies in the county hospital mortally wounded with threo bullets in him. Shortly before noon the station policeman at the Wabash, St. Louls & Pacific depot on Polk street roceived the following message: Ourxoa, Ill,, May 8L.—TI have an insane man on my train, who has possession of one car. The polica at Kaneas City, Jacksonville, and Peoria WERE ALL AFRAID TO TAKE HIM. Send ten policemen out on number one to take him when we arrive in Chicago, had better come in citizens’ cloth will have to look sharp, or some one hurt. PurNay, Conductor, No, Number six, which left Kansas City last erening, was due here at 2:50 p, m, There waa ditficulty in starting out number one as directed in the message, and 1t was decided to meet the train at the depot, Officors Casey, Ryan, Murphy, Rowan, Walsh, Stren- ning, Doheny, Barrett snd Keenan in_uni- form, and Smith, Perry, Amstein, O'Brien and Laughlin, in citizens’ clothes, under com- mand of Lieat, Laugh, made up the equad, which arrived at the depot ten minutes bafore the train was due. The train heinf delayed, as was subsequeutly learned, by ineffectual efforts to capture the lunatic, the police were forced to wsit for more than an hour, After considerable anxious epeculation ns to the condition of things on board number six, the officers were finally anything but rosssured by a dispatch from asuburban station warning them that the madman WAS ARMED AND WOULD RESIST TERRIBLY. A little later number six appeared in sight and the police separating so as to form two squads, awaited ber arrival on either side of the tracks. As the train approached the ‘whistle sounded A NUMBER OF WARNING NOTES in quick succession, People hanging half way out of the car windowa were seen to ges- ticulate wildly to the crowd. Before the train had coms to a standstill a half dczen passengers jumped to the gronnd and fled, looking back with blanched faces. Officer Barrett was the first to observe the lunatic. Barrett was standing near the rear end of the smoking car. The madman with leveled re- volver glared at him from the front platform of tha chair car, the length of one car distant. Barrett turned half round and stooped in- stantly, but too late, A BALL FROM THE LUNATIC'S RRVOLVER Struck him in the stomach and ina few minutes he was dead. One look at the ma- niac was enough to eatisfy any one that while his ammunition lasted he would not be taken alive, Seeing this the officera after removing their wounded comrade, began a fusilade through the windows of the emoking car where the madman had taken refuge, After » minute or two he plunged out onto the plat- form, tired a couple of shotsinto the crowd, leaped from the train and dashed down Fourth aveuue. Officer Lnufh“n started in hot pursuit and at him the lunatic fired (the last shot in the weapon but without effect. The maninc stopped there and awaited Laughln's coming, with gleaming eyes and frothing mouth. They clinched, the officer tripped his prisoner and they both fell, the madman meanwhile beating Laughlin un- mercifully onj the head with his revolver. The officer was in citizen’s clothes and was set upon and terribly pounded by an excited colored man who mistook the officer for the prisoner. The rest of the equad arrived ghortly. THE MANIAC WAS SECURED and taken first to a cell and then to the hos- pital to have his wounds dressed. When he realized that further resistance was useless the prisoner grew calm and said quite ration- ally that his name was Louis Reaume; that he was thirty-thres years old and he was en route to his home in Detroit from Denver, The train men of number six tell a thrilling story of the trip from Kansas City, When the man boarded the train at that place he remarked that the people were after him to lynch him and that if left alove he would molest no one, At Elpaso, Ill, he became violent, and with a revolver in his hand or- dered the trainmen to cease making some ohanges in the make-up of the train. The passengers all left the chair car, which the mad man made hiv headquarters, and were locked into the others, No one dared ap- proach the lunatic, and after he had ex- changed several shots with the city marshal, he ordered ths train to proceed, and fiom there to Chicago his will was the only law obeyed. ——— A BAD OUILOOK. ington territory were saved by beautiful showers which came in #ime to rescue the rain. “When the states are considered in detail the situation can be appreciated. ‘' Illinois—Flifty-three per cent of the entire whaent crop of the state has been plowed and more wou'd have been plowed had not the ground been sown to clover and grass, A very iarge proportion of the wheat that is heading out proves to be cheat, and there is no probabliity that bread and seed will be made in southern Illinois this year.

CROP PROSPECTS IN THE NORTHWEST--BUGS AND BAD WEATHER, Special Telegram to The Bz, CH10AGO, May 30.—The Timea this morn- ing prints an extensive report of the pros- pects for the corn crop of 1885 throughout the northwes In Illinois the area of corn will be larger than last seaton, owing to the large extent of wheat that was winter killed. The season since planting begun has been cold and un- favorable for the growth of corn, and a ma- jority of the farmers have been compelled to replant two and three times. The root worm has done great damage to corn this season in portions of Central Illnois, Prof. Forbes, state entomologist, reported to the state de- partment of agriculture to-day that he had just examined a field of 100 acres of corn that had been completely destroyed by this insect, of which comparatively little is known, The supply of o'd corn in the farmers’ hands is quite’ limited, owing to tho cold and long winter, which necessitated the feeding of nearly oue-third more than the average seagons, "The spring season openod rather late in Ne- braska, but corn planting was little, if any, later than usual. Tha early spring days were Dot growing, but suitablo for plowiog, and the corn was planted on time. In the southern portion the plantis further advanced than elsewhere and will escape the weeds better than in the western portion, The acre- sge i8 much in excess of previous years, since ny new settlers have como in, and more of the Jand is under cultivation in these newer portions of the state. Very little of last year's crop remaios in the hands of farmers, WHEAT SHORT IN ACREAGE AND CONDITION, A DEFICIT OF MILLIONS, Cii1cAo, TIl,, May 31,—The growing wheat crop has reached a critical stege and the winter wheat having approached a condition sufficiently near maturity to approximite the acreage and probably the yield; The Farmers' Review has followed up the usual weekly summary by a complets survey of all the western and southern wheat growing etates, reports having been received from over three thousand correspondents covering every wheat producing county in Ohio, Indiana, Tllinois, Kentucky, Tennestee, Mich- iean, Kansas, Nebraska, Towa, Wisconsin, Miunesota and Dakota, together with & very accurate and recent summary from the Pacific coast region, made by the associated prees, it is believed makes the most complete report ever issued. The review has been carefully prepared, and the information is believed to be the most exbaustive and the Iatest that has yet been obtained, and fore shadows the state and government reports, The Review eays: “¢The gloowlest views which have been advanced concerning the winter wheat the outlook for 1885 must now be ascepted as the most acourate, 4 ho promising conditions of 1880 have this season been completely re- versed. The absolute uniformi'y of the re- turns indicate that the outlook for the winter. sown wheat this year is the worst in ten years, and it may benow set down as positive that under the most favorable conditions the total winter and spricg wheat yield is to fall con- aiderably under the short crop of 1881, when the total product was 84,000,000 bushels, “With the exception of Michigan,and Ore- gon and Washington territory the o leading to decrease output winter wheat s almost identical, In Ohio, Indinas, Illinois, Kansas aud Missouri, the grouad was bare of snow during the severely cold weather at the close of winter which was followed by cold, dry winds later on. There was also a dc- acreage owlng to the low pricas which P iled for the crop of 1:84. Ia California the cecrease acresge was accompanied by & » sovero drowth which has tended to almost rulp the growing crop, Oregon and Wash- Tn Missouri the prospect is also very fayor- le. A much larger acreage has been put in corn than last season, because of failure of wheat fields, many of which are plowed up. Corn is generally up and growing finely, There is considerable old corn in the couutry, at loast 25 per cent of last yoar's crop, With & favorable season the new crop will be 50 per cent. greater than last year, Towa promises about an average yield, In Kansas and Wisconsin the weather has delayed the corn, although both states report a slightly larger acreage, — A Father's Brutal Murders, Porr Derosit, Md,, May 81,—At Wood- 1awn this morning Charles P, Barnes met his brother-ic-law Thomas X, Brown in the road, and without the least provocation and in cold blood, shot and killed him, Barnes then went into bis house, and calling bis ten year-old son, shot and killed him.

It is a fact that since 1853 the wages of New Eogland cotton operatives, measured in standard shoet- ings, have been increaed, whilo money wages and time employed have decroased, Figures prove that since 1883 the wage-receiver in the New kEngland cotton trade has boen gradually ncroaching upon the capital- fsts and tha that portion of price set aport to profit has been constantly decreasing. It is plain then, that now, when the capital of American shareholders is' being picked ont and distributed over the earth in the shape of cheap food, the thing to do is to walt for more light, When the ground shall have been botter cleared there will be time enough for marking ont the land, At prezent the indications point to a falliog stato of the trade barometer, 2 During the week I have been in Philadel- his.

Tho roady thomslves havo apparently aban: doned all intention of reorganizing_ the pool or trying to maintain rates, Jay Gould’s ap- pearance and efforts in the field as peace- malker botween warring lines seems 8o far destined to produce but _slight results, It has only made more prominent the fact that the New York Central, having carried the fight to a point where the borrowlng capacil of thereccivers of Wesk Shore scems o end, is not dieposed to make peace until its rival is _thoroughly crushed, Attention is directed to the timilar, though not g0 pronounced relations of al iho other trunk lines, Lackawanna& Erie are haviog almost the some kind of a conflict, their lines ralleling each other all the way from Bing- Rampton to Buffalo. The Baltimore & Oio has invaded the Pennsylvania’s best territory and is rapidly completing ita line from Balti- more to New York, The Vanderbilt south Penneylvania road meantime is being pushed on and paralles the main line of the Peansyl- vania, If to these iufluences are added as the Vanderbilt invasion of the Penn- sylvania’sclear field—the bituminous region, the existenca of low-rate freight contracts running for many months which all the roads have made and the entiro demoralization of passenger rates, it doss not sppear likely that any meeting of presidents or resolutions to restore rates can sucoessfully overcome them.
