lows: ~ shrink with sorrow from TAX
ing sides against you in u struggle which
opens such an appalling prospect o fdis-
grace to our cause. Thro ughout this
unhappy business ! have abstained from
one word personally offensive to you
and have read with deepest pain and
disgust some of the personal attacks
made on you.
TO avert ruinous conflict | appeal
to you as the leader | have for ten years
been proud to follow, and as friend for
whom | still feel warm affection. Can
you not see some way by which, while
guarding your own reputation our
country may be saved from the destruc-
ton which threatens it?'
Parnell replies, December s:
Had you wired prior TO Saturday
some suggestion from me might have
swerye the seceders from their false
position. shall, however, be very glad
TO see you and consult with you on your
arrival in Europe"
oBrien replied to this to-day: "Your
reply shows o total misunderstanding OF
my message, which was prompted by re-
gard for your past services and a still
existing personal affection, in the earnest
hopo that you might, in consonance
with the will of the majority OF the
party, whose election of a chairman We
have Endorsed, find a way by which the
country might be saved from ruinous
conflict The tone of your reply leaves
little ground for hope; but have u re-
gard to the horrible consequences to the
country of prolonged internecine
struggle, and am still anxious to have
an Interview, aud shall start Saturday
for France on my way to Ireland"

INCREASE IN BUSINESS.
Report OF the Atchison Shows the
Earnings Were s31 .OOi,357.

BosroS, Dec. 9.-The annual report OF
the Atchson, Topeka & Santa Fe for the
year ending June 30, 1890, is made to in
cluded the six months from january to
June, 1859, intervening between the close
of the former fiscal years.
The report gives in detail the record OF
amalgamation during tho year, and says
the result to the company has proved
satisfactory in every respect, and COM
pletion of the plans now in progress,
looking to the same end, will demon
strate the wisdom of the policy out
lined.
The large expenditures are explained
on the ground of bringing up the road
beds and tracks of the acquired lines to
a proper standard, etc.
Since August, 1889, traffic on all lines
was heavy, and it has been found nee
essary to make provisions for large
amount of additional equipments, etc.
Referring to statistics illustrating the
sources OF revenue during the fiscal year,
satisfactory returns are shown, notably
from the traffic from which the best re-
suits are obtained, the figures showing
an increase over the previous twelve
months of S3,Sls, las. The decrease OF
revenue from the passenger traffic,
S5s996 and express, $ll3548, arise
wholly from the reaction in the South
erh California boom, which was felt
most during the fiscal year, the Cali
fornia division showing $272. COS aud
the Atlantic d Pacific road S232, 39o less
passenger earnings, and $3.50 and
500 go respectively less express earnings
than the previous twelve montha A
different result should be had during the
current fiscal year, as the speculative fea-
lures incident to the settlement of the
new section of country have disappeared
and a solid basis for continued growth
in the future in Southern California is
reached, which is already attested by
the increase in passenger revenues since
May lS, 1890, on the divisions of property
directly affected.
The total operating mileage is T. ITO.
