RAILROAD REVIEW.
A review OF the Railroad Construction
During the Past Year.

CHICAGO, Dec. 80.
The Railway Age in its review of railway
building during the past year, will say:
The total length of the main line, not in
Guiding second track sidings or renewals laid
in the United States during 1885, was BIB
miles. This is about 700 miles less than the
new mileage of 1884 and it is less than in any
year since 1873, when the total was but 26S7
miles. The work done has been largely on
branches and extensions of moderate length
In New England and the east almost no new
track has been added. The principal activ-
ity has been in the southern states and the
belt between the Missouri river and Pacific
states and territories. During the last ten
years the railway mileage of the United States
has been increased 54.76S miles, and now
reaches IN round numbers grand total of
l28, 800 miles. These figures, it should also
be remembered. takes no account of the i'm
mense expenditures for additional main tracks
and sidngs as well as the renewal of old
tracks. The renewals alone during the past
year have been equivalent to laying thousands
of miles of new track, and consumed much
greater quantity Of rails than the extensions
of new roads for the year. The outlook for
the coming year is full of hope for the man
ufacturer and all others interested directly or
indirectly in railroad construction, and it
seems certain to be a year of general pros
perity in this country.

The court of commissioners of Alabama
claims sent to the department of state TODAY
certified list OF judgments and decisions in
the caae of second class, rendered since the
organization of the court in 1882, together
with certified list of judgments and decisions
in cases of the FIRST class, not heretofore re-
ported There is nine cases of the first class
In which judgments ranging from $500 TO
5000 are rendered In favor of claimants. and
thirty-one cases in which judgment is for the
United States. Those OF the second class fill
several large books and award to claimants
amounts ranging from 500 to $4,000 or
$4,000. They will be certified BY the secre-
tary of state to the secretary OF treasury for
payment according to law.
The treasury department has decided that
in cases of the importation of liquors, allow
ance can be made for loss BY leakage or
breskage and duties shall be charged upon
the amount landed only and not upon the
quantity invoced.
Treasurer Jordan expects to go to New
York on the 3lst. to assume charge OF the
sub treasury.
Estimates of the department of agriculture
for the principal cereals are computed and
the aggre gate bushels are as follows, in round
millions: Corn 1886, wheat 357, oats 629
The area of corn is 70 million acres, of
wheat "a, of oats %. The value of corn av-
erages nearly 33 per bushel, and makes an
aggregate of $685. ,000, 900, five millions less
than the value of the last crop. The decrease
in the product of wheat is 80 per cent. and
only IL per cent. in valuation. which is S275.-
100000. The valuation of oats is SlSO, 200,
600 The reduction in wheat is mostly in
the valleys in Ohio and in California. The
states of Ohio, Indiana Illinois, Missouri and
Kansas last year produced 10000 900 bush
els this wear SO, 000, 600, a reduction OF 9O,-
100000 bushels. The production of all the
cereals Is 50 bushels to each inhabitant and
the aggregate volume is larger than any for
mer year.
The treasury officials express the opinion,
founded on the fact that the receipts have
been very light during the month while the
pension payments have been made TO con-
siderable amount on account of last month,
that the debt statement will show an increase
of nearly $2,00G,000 in the public debt during
the current month.

THE FLOUR MARKET.
Review OF the Flour Production by the
Northwestern Miller.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Dec. 80.
In its review OF the -four production and
market the Northwestern Miller of January
lst, will say: The milling operations seem
to continue in the old groove with no par
ticular change for the better or worse.
Though last week was cut short nearly two
days the -four production amounted to H.
200 pounds, averaging l2,s6S pounds daily
against 96,05S pounds the preceding week
ald 5,b0S pounds for the corresponding time
IN 1884. Thirteen to fifteen mills are in mo
ton and the output ranges from $4,000 to
$4,000 barrels daily. This week. save with
the very largest firms, the mills take turns
running the same set not continuing two
weeks at a time. Two mills that were an
operation last week are now idle and another
of half their capacity started up. Today l3
are in motion with an aggregate capacity of
1900 and another Of 500 barrels is prepar-
ing to start up tomorrow. One of 200 Dbl.
capacity will be closed down this evening.
Considerable flour is being shipped, much of
it going into stores at Duluth and Milwau-
kee. There is firmer feeling in the flour
market and millers are confident there will
be improvement in prices soon.

THE IRISH QUESTION.
Evasion OF Rents not Home Rule the
Wish OF Ireland.

LONDON, Dec. 80.
Earl Cowper who was Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland from May 5, 1880 until April 2S,
1882, under Mr.. Giadstone's administration,
has written to the London Times in regard to
the Irish question. Earl Cowper says;
"Home rule for its own sake is not desired
by the Irish. Any one can see by the Pc
rusal OF Irish newspapers published during
my own term of Office in Ireland that they do
not reveal single mention of home rule
scheme, but are solely involved in discussing g
the question of rents. The late Mr.. Isaac
Britt, who may be called the originator of the
national and home rule movement, and Mr..
William Shaw, ex-member of Parliament for
the city of Limerick, who was member of
the home rule league, but withdrew from
that body in December, 1881, failed to at
tach the Irish people to their schemes, and
Mr.. Parnell will meet with the same fate,
except in an appeal to their pockets. The
strike against the payment of rent will soop
be a bigger difficulty for the government to
deal with than was ever the home rule Ques
tion, and must eventually interfere with i'm.
perai interests"

one officer killed and 81 men wounded. The
Egyptian allies of the British lost six killed

the English retire on Wsdy Hslfa they must
retire on Assouan, and if on Assouan then on
Cairo. Every pace in advance gives the Eng
lish hundred friends, every pace in retiring
gives them two hundred enemies, half in
front, half in the rear. England NAV gain
victory after victory, but if they are followed
by retreat the English government has use
lessly wasted blood. There is not one in ten
who will not believe in Enelsnd's defeat.
say that retirement now would be fatal"
When asked whether the question was in
solvable. he replied: mo, it requires two
things, First, fixed policy to crush the re-
bellion; Secondly, Money. Let England
attack the enemy in force, and after the lat
ters defeat, open negotiations. With native
emmissaries and money England could detach
soldiers who are now the back bone of the
rebellion, and also some tribes who are al
WAYS jealous of each other"
When asked what sum would be required
the minister said: perhaps two million
pounds, but this policy would be the cheapest
in the long run"
