DIVERTING FREIGHTS.
Views of Commissioner Fink Expressed
in Recent Interview.

Views of Commissioner Fink as Expressed
in a Recent Interview.
Commissioner Fink says: "The object of d.
verting freights is simply TO secure means to
main tain the established tariff rates and to put
all shippers upon footing of equality. In the
success of this railroad companies and the pub
lie are alike interested The most bitter COM
plants made against railroad management
have been on account of unjust discrimination
caused by favOritism." He then says: "The
railway companies, as common carriers, are
obliged to forward freight over their own roads
when it is offered to them: but when they en-
gage to assume the responsibility of forwarding
freight to points of destination beyond the
termini Of their own roads, and thus become
fOrwarders well shippers, they become
also interested in the selection of the connect
ing roads over which the freight Ia TO be for
warded and for this reason should have voice
in that selection. railroad giving through Dill
of lad1ng becomes practically responsible for
the connecting roads beyond the line of its own
road. The connecting roads become the agents
OF the road giving the bill of ladlng. and collect
the money due that road; hence 1t must have
confidence in the ability of the roads to carry
out their obligations. Upon these grounds rail
roads claim the right when shipments are made
beyond their own line OF road, to Issue through
bills of ladlng only on condition that they NAV
select the route over which they Will forward
the freight Otherwise the shipper can cOnsign
his shipments to the terminus of the road and
make arrangements there to transfer his freight

The case of the Continental Sugar Refinery, the
fact that consignOrs insisted so strenuousy on

roads west of Chicago are considered alike in

GENERAL NEWS,

Eos ter Local and Make Through Traffic
Secondary the Wise Policy.
A manager of enc OF the most prosperous of
the Indianapolis systems of railways says:
when the railway managers fully comprehend
the lesson that the building up OF local business
by equitable rates is of far more value TO them
than securing an Improbable and uncertain
through traffic, they Will have made a decided
advance on their policy of the past ten years.
The Cincinnati, Indianapolis, ST. Louis e. Chicago
management for three years past has made no
great effort for through business, taking care,
however of what they got promptly and it ia
well known that this IS one of Indiana's best
and most prosperous roads. The hobby of
general managers, more especially of new roads,
is to make their road link
OF some trunk line, or if not
a link, they will enter into traffic agreement
with a trunk line which will give the latter the
cream OF the earnings. shrewd Massachusetts
railroad man, now dead, once told the managers
of a Boston road who sought to establish ga
great through line to the West"-a Boston
hobby-that they could get their through freig mt
if they tried, "but," said he, sit will BANKRUPT
YOU" 1t is pointed ont by prominent Eastern
financial Journal that 'iJ is a common error to
suppose that through traffic is the largest or
most profitable part of railroads business.
Projectors of new enterprises" 1t says, "almost
invariably overestmate the importance OF
through traffic" The truth of this statement is
uuquesnOnable, and yet the railway managers
have often committed themselves to an argu-

France Turning Its Railways Over to Private
Companies.
France has gone extensively into the railway
business, has increased its debt enormously and
has become so dissatisfied with the results as to
beg private companies to take its burden from
its shoulders. instead of allowing the corpora
tons to bnild extensions, the State undertook
the work of constructing lateral lines at an
enormous cost. The national Indebtedness has
been so largely swollen that the Bourse Ia un-
willing to accept the bonds issued by the gov
mpnt. Arrang ements are being completed I'M
der which the leading railway companies Will
finish the lines that have been commenced I'M
der official regulation, and provide necessary
rolling stock and equipment, the public treasury
guaranteeing the bonds aud receiving in return
the promise of "a share OF the net earnings in
case they exceed specified figure.
Doing but Little Watering of Their Stock.
comparative statement OF the operations of
the Chicago, Burlington Quincy road for four
years shows an increase in mileage since 1879 of
70. 8 per cent; an increase in gross earnings of
45 per cent; net earnings, Ala per cent The
increase in construction and equipment of the
main line during that period was S46,3S9, 40S;
branch lines, $17,SJ9, 800; total, S61, 249, l08.
The increase in funded debt WAS $3.50, 4 30. %;
capital stock, 1898, 645, 240; TOTAL S73, 769 ,O65
This shows great expansion, but very little ac-
tual watering.

at once turned over the books. papers and assets
of the bank to Mr.. Landers 1t is understood
that the latter does not desire to retain the re-
ownership and will resignit in few days for
personal reasons. Ii is probable that if he
should retain it the attorneys for the depositors
would raise the point of eligibility before Judge
Walker, as they did before Judge Taylor While
Mr.. Landers is receiver, therefore, it is
probable that some other person Will supersede
him within IL short time, and who this person
Will be is purely matter of speculation at
present.
