KFW VfiRK. Anrll 7. The state of sus
pense over the outcome of the plan for
the Erie financial settlement Kept ti.d
stock market in a practical deadlock to
day. Opinion was on the side of
he plan being made operati-e ana v.
based a muc hon ' the prestige of the
names connected with the plan a on any
positive evidence to show tne progr? to
ward success. Report indicated that de
posit of the note in assent were pot ne-
na- made. It ws the general conviction
that absolute compliance with the terms
of the olfer would be physically Impossi
ble in the complete assent of all of the
outstanding notes, which amount to
.,&no,ono and wmcn are wioety mat-
led, not only In this country tiut in
Kurone. With onlv three day' notice of
the method to be pursued In th- ncttle
ment. It was pointed out that proleseton
of a hope of hearing from all the holders
before- 3 o'elook on Wednesday might be
regarded as extravagant. This fact fostered
the belief that means were In reserve to
take rare of atich ef the maturing-note
a were held out. This belief again
rested on the anoarent dlecredlt tnat
would attach (o eminent name In allow
ing the plan to result in a fiasco, rainer
than on any admission that could be se
cured of the existence of such n plan.
The whole episode, In fact. Is regarded
confusing In it Implications th.it deter
mination to rerrBtn irom marsei wn.
tions until It 1 definitely disposed of wu
general.
The coming government crop report w
a sustaining influence on price. ery
sanguine hopes are entertained among
the speculative element of the iilgh P"r
ccntage of condition to be shown for April
1. the date covered by the report, 'ibis
expectation was supplemented today by re
ports or rain ana prospects or rain in mo
southwest, from which the only report
of possible deterioration from drouth
since the date of the report of the gov
ernment's agents have come. While these
considerations served to some extent to
hold price of stocks, they were unavmi-
ng to awaaen any active oemmiu. j
n.rk.i in fact un. nrofoundiy dull
throughout. The growing lethargy Of the.
demand for credits is not liked, pointing,
a It doe, to Blackening business activ
ity. Increasing demand for mercantile
paper Is In effect, but the Investment de
mand for securities continue practically
lifeless. Prospect of heavy withdrawsla
of government deposits and of possible
gold exports, wnicn mtgni oe nimim
reduce the supply of loanable funds, seem
a ,ojd w,.n nt niiMilnAHi aroonaTst borrow
er and increasing difficulty is reported
In the placing or runas. i ne ii,o,"v
decrease In the British Imports of Amer
ican cotton for March foreshadows some
change In the completion of our own for
eign trade showing- for March from the
heavy excess of exports shown for ' re
cent months. The persistent firmness of
foreign exchange rates nere is expiicn..-u
from this development. Union Paclfio
reported a decrease In net earning for
February of-$214.41 and Southern Paclfio
a decrease of $1 446.749 for the same pe
riod. But this did not prevent Union Pa
clfio assuming Hhe leadership In the late
advance in- prices, which ahowed the
nearest approach to animation that wa
exhibited during the day.

ton thla morning, it wa evident that they
were not a eager for supplies as yesterday,
the demand being far from urgent. Tni
was especially true of the heavier and
higher priced kind of cattle. While the
offering slowly changed hands. It took a
good share of the forenoon to effect a
clearance, the trade, a a whole, being
better described as slow and weak, with
salesmen In some case quoting It as much
a lOo lower There wa quite a sprinkling
of pretty good cattle In the yards, some of
them good enough to sell at $7.00.
While beef steer were Blow, cow and
heifer were active, possibly due to the fact
that receipt of that kind of cattle were very
light. Everything In the way of deelrable
killer sold very readily at good, strong
prices. Some choice Oregon hay-fed cows.
sold up to $5.60. It will be well for Shipper
to understand that there Is a vast differ
ence between strictly good or choice cattlo
which are bringing the top prices and which
have advanced very materially during; the
last few weeks, and the common grades,
which have advanced but very little If, any.
In fact, canners are selling now about
where they were when atrlctly, good cow
were $1.00 per hundred lower than at the
present time.
Oood feeders commanded steady prices,
but light stock cattle were extremely hard
to move. There are a good many light
stockers coming forward at the present
time, while the demand, for some reason or
other, Is very poor.

CLAIMS AGAINST GOVERNMENT
Rpexlanen from Philippine Ilaad
aad Coatly Method of Ad
justing. Of course, only a part, very likely a
small part, of the claim entered against
the government have justice as a basis. In
order to find out the truth of things tha
government occasionally Is obliged to
spend many times the amount of money In
volved. One of '.(be mot curlou claim caaes
ever known to congre waa that of Be
nora Feliciana Mendlola, who lived at
Angeles, Pampagria, Philippine Island.
The aenora rented a house to Uncle Sam
for the use ot some of his teamsters.
When the mule-driving contingent moved
out ot the house after a short occupancy
tha scnora declared under oath that some
of the siding board were mlaalnT from
the kitchen wall, and she aaked for $JO0 In
gold to repay her for the damage to her
property.
This case of Senora Feliciana Mendlola
fills fourteen page of a house of repre
sentatives document. It contains a long
letter from the secretary of war on the
question, of the value of kitchen siding,
another letter from the quartermaster
general of the United States, and fifty
three communications from army officers
and civilians of various ranks and condi
tion. A' board of officers was convened to
pass on the validity of the senora's claim.
The board was In sesalon for day, many
of its members coming from a lone dis
tance to attend. On teamster, William
Langworthy by name, swore that th
senora's kitchen sidings were chewed up
and eaten by red ants. Teamster Bum.
mervtlle swore thaf, in his opinion, the
boards dropped out of place by their own
weight. Teamter Pickle said: "Them
boards wss punk.,.'' ,
The trrny board which sat on the caae
thought It. was very doubtful In strict
justice If Senora Feliciana should ba al
lowed any money, but finally th member
granted her the sum of $.10 In gold. This
action, of course, waa not final, but th
committees of war claim in house and
senate approved the finding.
The senora received $30. and doubt less
It cava twf soino satisfaction, lo know that
Unci Sam had apent about $1,000 to gel

C0NFESSI0NS0F SIGNALMAN
Responsible Railroad F.mploye Dl
eaaaea Various Causes of
Acctdeat.
The third paper entitled "Th Confes
sions of Railroad Bignalman," by J. O.
Fagan, appears In the April lsu ot tha
Atlantic. This number deals with loyalty
loyalty of the men to the management and
vice versa. There follow some significant
paragraph.
At the present day when an accident hap
pens on a railroad and lives Of passengers
are sacrificed by reason ot the carelessness
or neglect of employes, practically the
whole moral and financial responsibility
ts Immediately assumed by the manage
ment. Considering the division of power,
does this adjustment of responsibility ap
peal to any fair-minded person T It has
occurred to some of us that If we or our
organisations were assessed In hard cash In -proportion
to our responsibility for ome of
these preventable accident, the casualty
lists on our railroads -would very quickly
assume microscopic proportions. An "Em
ployes' Liability Act" would, of course,
b looked upon as art absurdity, and yet
If unprejudiced judges were to analyse a
few of our accidents they would quickly
conclude that the Idea Is sanely and soberly
logical. They would simply consider the
matter In the light of fair and square tax
ation with unmistakable and ample rep
resentation. It must not be forgotten that
the manifestation of power by railroad
labor Is to be looked for' not so much In
the wording of schedules and agreements
as It Is in what the managements of rail
roads under pressure feel constrained to
ref rain-from cTolngv-
Loyalty then, as applied to the railroad ,
service, means the safety of the traveling
public In so far as tha human safeguards
.an be depended upon. Again, comparing
ihe service as It actually ts with what It
night be, loyalty means the elimination
ot numerous petty delays and at times
serious blockades which, at the present
day on many railroads, ar so annoying to
the traveling public.
As an illustration let us take the follow
ing Incident, which Is almost an everyday
occurrence:
. Freight train No. 1. pulls Into a yard a
few miles outside the terminal. Tha train
and engine crew are on overtime; that Is
to say, every hour they remain out on the
road means a great many dollars In wages
over and above their regular pay. Before
long another freight train. No. 3, over
takes No. L Instead' of pulling Into tha
yard and doing its work In turn, this sec
ond train runs up the main line and backs
In ahead of train No. 1, thus putting It 'In
a pocket. In this way train No. 1 Is de
layed three or four hour, thus causing
the engine to be lat for tha return service,
and altogether entails upon the railroad an .
extra and entirely unnecessary expense of
perhaps $60. .
Tou will find in our railroad offices an
exact record and working history ot every
piece of equipment from a splks to a lo
comotive. Every draw-bar, every coupler,
every passenger' coach, and pracllcajly
every englne-Ure has to ' give an account
of Itself. Th performances of these
"parts" are carefully Scrutlnlied and
watched. You will be shown all sort of
diagrams, charts, and volumes of ststlatlc
going to hoW the care and expense de
voted to equipment and machinery. But
ir you happen to ask for a few human
statistics you are likely to be disappointed.
For Instance, If a certain train crew runs
a freight train 200 times a year, breaking
seventy drsw-bars and upon different oc
casions delaying thirty-seven passenger
trains, and another crew under very similar
conditions pulls out only thirteen draw
bars and delays only nine passenger trains,
you may consider the records quite Im
portant, but in the railroad offices you will
find no statistics ot this nature, no com
parative statements and diagram illus
trative of the workmanship and character
of different men and of th value and sig
nificance of the human element In the run
ning of a rsjlrosd. In a word, you will
Infer from your Investigation that If It Isn't
a machine or a plec ot machinery it Isn't
worth bothering about.
Wo railroad people at th present day
are suffering from a very peculiar form
of mental blindness. Ferhap the point will
be more comprehensible it w call It "de
partment paralylg.'t Our vision seems to
be strictly limited to our own departments
or spheres of action. In this way svery
