pending largely upon the characters

surface of the land, the distance from

roadmaking, and upon tho cost Of
tile. Therefore even an approximate
estimate Of the average cost of such

not he easily made. If it be SUPPOSED
that gravel or other good roadmak
ing material will average III cost
Sl,25 per cubic yard when spread

S20,62l per rod of road nine feet
wide, or $4,000 per mile. This will
be the first cost, to which is to be
added the expense which may be in

work as may be found necessary. In
some favored parts of the country,
where timber is an incmnbrance and
labor is cheap, rails may be made at
cost of 81 per hundred: in most
places they are worth fully - per

country rails cannot he easily bought
for less than $50 per thousand. Per

there are twenty rails to each rod of

there are 6,400 rails, worth S12S,
equal to S256 per lineal mile of road.

WHAT ARE NET EARNINGS.

Suit of the Government to Compel the
Payment of a Million Dollars by the
Union Pacific Railroad Company-The
I.atter's Stateme nt of the Case.
NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-The attention of
counsel for the Union Pacific having been
called to Washington dispatch stating
that the secretary of the interior had rec
commended the attorney general to bring
suit against that company to recover
$1,500,000 under the Thurman act, Sidney
Bartlett and Judge Dillon authorized the
following statement that the government
claims no such amount and in the pro-
posed suit, which is an amicable one, to
settle disputed questions. The controversy
between the Union Pacific railway and the
United States relates to the manner in
which the 'net earnings" under
the Thurman act shall be ascertained. The
company, under the advice of its counsel,
and under their construction of the deci-
sion of the supreme court, claim the right
to have the cost of the new construction
and equipment of the main line deducted
from the gross earnings in order to ascer-

of railroads does not concede this claim,
and both parties desire judicial decision
and close an amicable suit. To that end,
and as desired by the company, suit is
to be brought by the government. Under
its construction of the claim there is due
to it S9O1, 1897. The company claim there is
due only $306,477. The company has not
paid this because it has a counter claim
against the United States for postal ser
vice of over $1,5OO,OOO. The company has
brought suit for postal compensation and
the supreme court recently decided
in favor of the company and
against the principle claimed
by the postmaster general, and the amount
due the company is awaiting judicial
determination. The company's claim
against the government for postal service
is much greater than any claim of the
government against it under the Thurman
act, the company's purpose being, when
both disputes are adjusted, to set off one
against the other. The officers of the gov
ernment have made no complaint of the
course pursued by the company,
but have favored judicial settlement of
the questions at issue.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
NRw YORK, Feb. 3.-An advance of North
western to 131, shortly after comm ence-
ment of business this morning gave for a
| time some hope that the market was on
| the mend. But after few coverings by
the shorts, prices dropped again, and lower
figures than on yesterday were made on
to 1875. This proved decided damper as
it is a recognized leader. On the appear
ance of the baak statement which was
quite unfavorable, showing a loss on re-
serve of over 100000, prices fell
rapidly and little panic ersued. Trans
actions were immense and lines of long
stocks were disposed of. Lackawanna fell
to 1918 and was active, as were st. Paul,
Union Pacific, Northwestern, and the Van
derbilt's. The closing was irregular, some
properties higher, some lower than on last
evening. st. Paul is down to 2%. 1t is
not denied that the stock speculation is
daily becoming more and more discour-
aging to holders Of stocks. There is no
outside buying and the dealings appear to
be confined entirely to the street, with a
steady tendency downward on a restricted
scale of operations. Leaders of the
present bull party, if there still exists one,
have been holding out prospects for rise
which have not been fulfilled. A week or
more ago it was reported that Mr.. Keene
was heavily short of the general market,
and certain to suffer heavy loss. That
operator is reported to have been steady
seller ever since, and still stock values are
on the decline. There is evidently some
thing mysterious in this, for the loan
market fails to show any increase
in the borrowing demand. Mr..
Vanderbilt has postponed his Western
trip, but he fails to support the stocks in
which he is interested. Certain operators
are believed to be heavily long ofs stocks,
while claiming that we are to witness

imous in admitting that if it does not
come within the next fortnight we shall

Tabor's Senatorial Debut.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. !

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Senator Tabor, of
Colorado, was duly installed last evening.
His predecessor, Mr.. Chilcott, led him
forward to take the oath of Office. The
new senator looked like fish out of the
water. He was dressed in black and wore
his big diamond ring. Two minutes after
he was sworn in he was seated in Chilcott's
chair. The big guns of both parties came
forward and welcomed him. Tabor re-
sponded to their greetings in an awkward
fashion. He will no doubt do as we'll as
Chilcott, who won golden opinions by his
ability in not making speeches and
promptitude in voting with his party
every time. Tabor will prosper in his new
sphere if he emulates the virtues Of his
predecessor. His ambition ought to be
satisfied. Five years ago a grub stake

This is glory enough for any man; but that
