RAILWAY WRECKAGE FOR 1884.
The Crop About Gathered and Another Already
Sown.

CHICAGO, Jan. THE Rdil,cay Age will
tomorrow say: The record of railway FORE
closure and sales In the United States during
1884 shows that the harvest of bankruptcy
sown during disastrous times, commencing
ten years ags,has now been nearly gathered.
The number of rail roads thus sold In 1884,
as we'll as their mileage and amount Of cap.
ital represented, We're all much less than In
any previous year since 1876. Such sales
last year were nearly all of little Importance
there being only one Of the roads involved
having a mileage of over II miles. The to-
tai number Of railways sold under foreclos.
ure in 1884 was is. The total stock and
debt amounted TO s23, 504, 900, net including
accrued interest or floating indebtedness.
The average yearly mileage subjected TO
foreclosure sales from 1876 TO 1884, inclu.
sivs, was 1858, and the corresponding year.
ly average total of stock and debt s166, $780,
GOT. The encouragement, however, derived
from the decrease in foreclosures Is Offset by
the past years record Of receiverships. The
latter gives evidence that the seed has been
soUn for a new and luxuriant crop, which
will ere long begin to be harvested in the
form Of foreclosure sales. During the past
twelve months 81 railways, having a mileage
Of ii 900 miles, with bonded debt Of S407,-
100000, not including other debts and past
due interest, and on an apparent capital
stock investment of over 1907 200, 900, have
failed and have been taken possession Of by
the courts for the benefit of their creditors.
These figures represent nearly 0 per cent. of
United States, nearly II per cent. Of the total
bonded debt, and nearly 9per cent. Of the
whole capital stock,

An American Ireland

New YORK, Jan. "a Sun editorial says
The widow of the late Mark Hopkins, OF
California, has decided that nothing short OF
a S., ZOO, 900 house TO live in will afford ade.
qus'e expression of her magnlicence. She
is preparing to construct such a residence at
Great Darlington, Massachusetts, and expects
TO devote three years to its completion. The
millionaires Of the Pacific slope do not APP
pear to show any greater regard for that
sunny CLINE than the Chinese do. Agsns
the further immigration of the latter, one of
the strongest arguments was that they came
to California, not as genuine settlers, but as
Adventures, and that as soon a. they had
amassed any money they went home to
China. II Is true, the millionaires are not
as numerous as the Celestials, but they ap-
pear to be actusted by the same motives.
They will presently make California another
Ireland, drained by absentee landlords, who
spend their enormous wealth in New York
and Paris. (Other dispatches say Mrs. Hop
kins' intentions are grossly exaggerated in
the above.)

AN INDIAN AGENTS. FRAUDS.
Using Government Coin to Run a General Va
rety Store.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Three weeks ago
John Howe, Indian Agent at the Western
Shoshone agency, in Nevada, died. Mr..
Howe had filled that position from 1878 to
1881 inclusive. His accounts have been un.
dergoing an examination in the Second
Controllers Office of the Treasury Depart
ment for over a year. They disclose con-
dltion Of affairs that Is startling even TO the
clerks in that bureau, who are supposed TO
have such familiarity with fraudulent Indian
accounts as TO be surprised at nothing. 1t Is
alleged that Howe's peculations during his
three.year term of Office will aggregate
nearly 100000. Alden X. Smith, one Of
the Indian Inspectors who was engaged in
the case, reports that Howe opened large
establishment for the sale of staple goods at
Mountain City, New, and that his original
stock, as well as subsequent additions, was
purchased with money appropriated by the
Government for the maintenance of the In
dians. 1t Is said that a prominent liquor
firm of San Francisco was paid thousands of
dollars for different consignments Of fine
liquors, every drop of which was sold TO
whites and Indians at extortionate prices.
Howe's purchases included blasting pow
der aud almost every conceivable article
used In the development of mines, while
only small percentage of the stock could
have been used for the benefit of the Indians.
Other evidence shows that $500 was paid at
one time for team of horses that would
have been dear at 5000. That two years have
been allowed to elapse after this mans resig-
nation before his accounts are finally passed
upon is due to the Indian Bureau. II is only
by the most persistent nagglng that investi-
cations necessary TO correct settlement Of
the different Indian agents accounts can be
secured. 1t looks as though there must be
collision between the Indian officers and
these rascally agents when an attempt is
made TO hamper these investigations.

To Lay Track in Egypt.

WINNIPEG, Feb. 20.-Col. T. G. Shoble,
of this city, has cabled the imperial govern.
ment, offering to build . military railway
from Suakim to Derber, a distance of 260
miles. He guarantees the completion and
opening of the road within five months from
the signing of the contract. Lord Lans-
downe has also cabled the home government
advising the acceptance of Colonel Scoble's
proposition. If accepted, it is intended to
ship 800 laborers from Winnipeg to Suakim
at once, via Chicago, New York and the Suez
canal. Scoble has made all arrangements TO
transport the men and material so as to have
them on the ground inside Of a month. The
work will be placed in charge Of American
and Canadian Engineers, whom Col. Scoble
claims will be able to complete the work in
half the time usually consumed by British
contractors, owing TO their knowledge Of the
machine grader and digger.
Scoble was formerly Brigade Major under
General Wolseley.

A Bill That cripples a Railroad.

PORTLAND, Feb. 49, Hoult's Railway
Restriction bill has passed both Houses OF
the Legislature. 1t Is almost an exact copy
Of Reagan's bill before Congress, so far as 1t
relates to discrimination In rates. The bill
provides that the maximum freight rates
shall not be higher than rates in fierce Jan. l,
1885, and that passenger rates shall not ex.
coed 4 cents per mile. The bill passed both
Houses by decisive msjorities, and now
awaits the Governors signature. The effect
of the new law will be TO further cripple the
Oregon and California and keep 1t in hope
less bankruptcy. The earnings on the line
from Eugene TO Ashland, 200 miles, where
the passenger rate is 10 cents per mile, are
less than operating expenses, and have been
SO for years. With this enforced reduction,
together with other complications, there is
hardly any probability that the Oregon and
California will ever be finished TO the Cali
fornia connection. Hoult's bill will affect
Oregon Railway 81 Navigation Company
passenger receipts about IS per cent. twill
not affect the Northern Pacific, which has
only DO miles of track In Oregon, and the
passenger rate on this short distance Is less
than the maximum prescribed rate.

.Kcenc on His Feet Again.

New YORK, Feb. 20.-The World says
Word went around In Wall street yesterday
that Keene was trading In stock again, and
that he had hand In the late manipulation
OF the market. II was the first news the
street had obtained of Keene's being on his
feet. II was little less than year ago that
In the language Of Wall street, Keene 'Gay
down" and confessed himself broken. He
was cleaned out and owed q quarter of q
million, besides balances on his "privileges,' p
which he gave his note for.
The World says of Keene's return to the
street: He scraped little money together,
and two months ago caught drop and then
rise in petroleum, and cleared $500 900.
That sum enabled him TO settle every en-
barrasslng obligation, and also TO begin
speculation In a trifing way for himself in
October. New York Central was down low
in the eighties. He began bulling it with
his old tactics, and, with the strength i'm
parted by It's supporters, sent It up. He
realized ten points on his limo In New York
Central. Not many days ago be counted up
and found he had come out s200, 900 ahead.
