PhfIaGelphia and Reading Accounts
 PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 4.-The annual report
 of President Bond and che board of managers
 of the Philadelphia and Reading was issued
 late this evening. It is in pamphlet of
 eighty-one pages and differs materially from
 the report of the receivers made yesterday.
 The latter showed an apparent credit balance
 of S193, 256. 14, but the board of managers
 by writing off various items from the balance sheet which they contend should have been
 charged against the revenue, as is customary with other roads of the same class, show an
 actual debt balance of 2,oO9, ,628.38, which
 they place as the amount which the railroad and the coal and iron companies were short.
 The report says that under areceivership the
 indebtedness has steadily increased and there is but one way in which provision can be made for prospective expenditures and maturing indebtedness. Either it says the junior creditors must agree to fore go part of the fixed interest their bonds and the holders of certain junior obli gations issued on leased lines consent to a | similar proposal or there must be foreclo- sure under either the general or
 income mortgage with an agreement for a reorganization by which all interests shall Be protected in the order of their
 several priorities The latter plan, however, | the report deprecates. Recommendations l are made for the early sale of the furnaces of ! the iron ore mines and iron mill properties ] of the company, for an increase of the coal production, and it is also suggested that junior securities be replaced by secured l three per cent.

ton, who presided during the forenoon. Hon. N.
A. Luce, State Superintendent of Sch OILS, opened
the discussion with remarks upon morals and nan-
ners. The high character of the teachers of the
State alluded to in fitting terms the speaker re-
marking that they were second to no class in sece-
ty not even the clergy. The teacher is poten-
tal in forming the character of the pupil than in
the home. Professor Woodbury., of the Eastern
State Normal School, Castine, believed the subject
was ole of Importance and deserving consideration
The teachers physical development the central
idea formally than the intellectual. But now the
moral element was made more prominent. Rev. R.
L. Howard, of Bangor, joined in the discussion an6
expressed hearty accord with the remarks of the

PANAMA, Nov. 14.-The American whaling bark

Now York. She is bound for cruise on the Chill
ian coast.
The American whaling bark Horation, Capt. I.
Il. Morse, left Panama on a cruise the 9th inst.
serious shipping question seems likely to arise
in Colon The American big Mary S. Camery ar
rived at that port some months ago with cargo of
lumber for the Boston Ice Company. On the arriv-
al and prior to the delivery of the whole of the
go, the captain claimed his freight money por-
ton of it,. This the consignee or charterer refused
to pay, alleging that as dispute to demurrage
had occurred prior to her leaving Pensacola the
captain might retain some of his cargo in order to
purge himself for said demurrage. Much wrang
ling followed, and the captain finally offered to
sell the cargo at auction, for the account of whom
Il might concern. The representative of the ice
company obtained an order from the court prohit
itng the sale, and then the legal quibbliDg COM
menced. the case was carried first to the State
and then to the national tribunals, and resulted in
Soldiers being sent on board at the request of Con-
sui T. W. Rice and the vessel being taken along
side the wharf and discharged. The captain has
now refused to have anything to do with the vessel
ana altogether there appears to be material for
quite squabble and for a claim for heavy damages
by ore OF the parties to the affair.
