THE PHILADELPHIA ARcHBIsHOPR1C.
A RumOr That Is Received with Regret by
Bishop Chatard's Friends.

A cablegTam received from Rome last night
says that the Archbishopric of Philadelphia,
made vacant by the death of Archbishop Wood,
will be filled Immediately by the appointment of
prelate from the diocese of Texas. The name
of the prelate to whom this promotion is to come
is not given. This is in the nature of a surprise
to the friends of Bishop Chatard. who have
fdently believed that he would be promoted to
the Philadelphia archbishopric and they are not
yet prepared to accept the dispatch without CUES
ton Bishop Chatard's long residence in Rome was
supposed to have given him prominence and fit
ness for the vacant position not possessed by any
other prelate in the United States, as he was for
many years intimately connected with the Vati-
can during the life of the late Plus TX, and was
also well and favorably known by the present
Pope both before and since his accession to the
pontifcal chair. 1t was broadly limited at the
time Bishop Chatard was appointed bishop of the
diocese of NmcenneS, that this was only as a
stepping stone to something greater, and that
the next promotion would not be long delayed.
BY some it thought that he might be chosen
as successor of Archbishop Purcell, but
Elder to be coadiutor made that
promotion improbable. During Bishop Chatar4's
five years in this diocese the Catholic Church
here has increased in wealth and numbers as it
never did before. In this city the new churches
of St Bridget's and ST. JOsephs have been built;
the Church of the Sacred Heart is now under
way, st. Nincent's Hospital has been founded.
and several schools have been established. 1t
may be that the Bishops work here has been so
successful and he has exhibited such great adj
mlnlStratlve and executive talent that it is not
thought prudent at this iuncture to remove him.

when rehearing is had before Judge Shipman
and the full evidence is put in, his decision must
of necessity be revised. They intimate the bill,
several important particulars and as
sert that it must, upon full
hearing, be dismissed upon this ground if upon
no other. On the other hand, President Clark
and friends disclam any intention to antagonize
others interested in the road, and say, even as
they said yesterday, that their action was for the
best interests of the road and security holders,
and taken only to avert threatened serious com
plicatons.

lis summary of railway foreclosures for 1883

THE DAYS RAILWAY NEWS
The Year Not So Disastrous to Rail-
road Interests as Represented.
The Trunk Lines Restless-The n Y. & n
E., Troubles Exciting Considerable
Unfavorable Comment.
THE BRIGHT SIDE.
No Reason for Gloomy Forebodings Regard
ing Railroad Interests.

No Reason for Gloomy FOrebodings Regard
ing Railroad Interests.
While there are those who are inclined to take
dark view regarding railroad interests, there is
> bright side which little investigation will
bring to light. The year 1883 was gone through
without a railroad war OF any serious cutting of
rates OF the home roads, nine, it is stated will
show increased earnings and never before were
their road-beds and equipments in so good condi-
ton, and never before were the operation of them
more economical or better systematized In tax
ing a survey of the entire railroad interests of
the country it will be found that roads that re
ally ever had any worth are still good property.
Without railroad war and the attending cutting
of rates, and aided by better crops, the trunk
line traffic has been more renumerative than in
1882, notwithstanding the failure of business to
keep pace with the growth of road building The
railroads in general have been prosperous. The
prosperity of the roads in the Northwest and some
of those in the Southwest is the most conspic-
nous, while lines in other sections have
Jared tOerably well, those in the
South making the least favorable showing The
FIVE coal-carrying roads, which paid 10 per cent.
before the panic of 1873 and Excepting the Lee
high Valley suspended dividends after that cri-
sis, are improving. The Lehigh Valley and the
Lackawanna have paid per cent and the Della
ware and Hudson {, while is guaranteed to the
Central, of New Jersey, and the Philadelphia
and Reading thinks dividend in January is pos
sible. The dividends of the roads running west
and northwest of Chicago, through section
that has been greatly developed of late, will be
as heavy if not the heaviest the lines have ever
made when the doubling Of stock and other
things are taken into consideration. The result
of the year is in the main surprise to those
who predicted unfavorable effects from business
depression and increased competition. The con
struction of main track for the year was about
$500 miles-5,00 less than for 1882 The most
unfavorable feature at the present time Is the
preEeness of men who are idle to form cliques

years railroading has been the increase of com
Peting lines notably from the seaboard to the
West and in the transcontinental field This
has a depressing influence the properties

49, sioner Fink Considerable Trouble.
nethe west bound pool the Lackawanna, bet
DER known as the 'Free-lance" line, is disturb
ing element. Since opened to Buffalo its freight
traffic has made remarkable increase. This has
excited the jealousy of the older lines, and Com
missioner Fink is finding it to be quite task to
prevent general Generalization of rates. While
speaking of the matter, it would not be out of
place to quote the remark of prominent rail
road man, who, when speaking of Commissioner
Fink's successful efforts to maintain such great
harmony among the trunk lines, said that Mr.
Fink's service in this direction could not be es-
timated in dollars and cents as had there been a
general railroad war in 1888 no one could fore
tell the results it would have led to the reduc
ing of the pay of men, strikes, and troubles such
as this country has never seen. Commissioner
Fink is now thoroughly investigating the aIlega-
.tions, but is not disposed to act hastily. The
heavy bound business the New York Central
is now doing also excites comment. The New
York Central and Pennsylvania systems lost
business through the summer which they
charged the Erie and the Grand Trunk with Sc
curing by cuts. Now the recent improvement in
the New York Centrals east-bound business has
called forth retaliatory accusations against that
road.

A False Report.

L. D. Richardson, general manager of the Chi
cago & Ohio river pool, returned from Chicago
last evening, and he states that the report that
two of the Chicago roads were carrying grain
from Chicago to New York at 20 cents per 100
pounds, which would be 10-cent cut, rs false,
and that the east-bound rates are now nearly
lived up to by Chicago roads as at any time in
the past twelve months.
