ONE CENT
RAILROAD RUMBLINGs.
What is Being Done on the Three
Leading Roads.


The Pennsylvania Schuylkill Valley Co.
is pushing ahead, as fast as the weather
permits work on the new Fishbach extern
sion. The style of bridge across Centre street
has not been decided on, but the company
is going ahead with the pier work fr a
girder bridge instead of stone srch. En-
trance to Atkins will be made along the
creek on the south of the bridge works.
The piers in the Gas Company yard stands
out prominently ready for the trestlng.
Another months work will show a marked
change in the amount of work done-Re-
publican.
The Philadelphia g. Reading Company
are making arrangements TO greatly i'll
crease their ysrdage facilities at the head of
the upper Gordon plane This step is
made necessary by reason Of the greatly
increased traffic over this branch of the
system in the recent months. A double
track will be put down on the west side of
tha roadbed to run a considerable distance,
and other smaller siding tracks will also be
laid. Gravel trains will be put on to haul
the dirt necessary to fill up the embank-
ments from the old Oak Hill colliery At
Mine Hill Gap. The work is now in pro-
gress but after to-day will be pushed with
an increased force. When completed it
will add greatly to the shipping facilities.
The Lehigh Valley railroad has sold 81, e
100000 of its New Jersey terminal railroad
five per cent, bonds out OF the $1,000 coo
authorized by the mortgage. The bonds
have not been offered for public subscrp-
tion, bat Drexel, Morgan 81 Co, of New
York, have sold few lots to financial in
stitutions of that city at price said TO be
los. A sale at q somewhat higher figure
was made on the floor of the Exchange,
and now l07f is bid for them. The nego-
tiations have put the company in easy
financial condition, and the premium at
which the bonds are quoted shows the
splendid financial credit Of the company.

In is not only the small farmers and
tue wooden mill operatives and the
clothing makers who are vitality in
terested in the protection to American
wool, which Representative Springer
proposes to abolish. Every working
man has the deepest interest in the
matter. Protected sheep means CHEAP
meat for the people. Mutton is one o.
the very best of foods, and it is EN-
phatically poor mems meat. That II
is not 30 generally eaten in this coun-
try as IN some others is due to the in
sufficient encouragement given ouI
farmers to raise sheep. The greater
the market for our wool the more
abundant ard cheaper will mutton be
If Mr.. Springer could carry out hil
plan, and destroy sheep-raising in thu
United States, the working people
would in the long run be the wors
sufferers.

Kentucky being among the warmest cham
pi0ns OF P0rter's efficiency and official zeal.
Fithtan of Illinois sent to the Speaker a
bill for reference placing farm implements
ON the free list. Ordered printed.
The House then went into Committee of
the Whole on the Census Deficiency Bill.
Sayers of Texas, who was in charge of
the bill, made an explanation, and brought
a charge OF extravaganza against the admin
istration of the bureau. He said hundreds
OF men who never ought to have been en-
ployed had been employed at the instigatiOn
of members of Congress. Had the Superin-
tendent OF the Census been left to operate
his bureau without pressure from the out
side to put in office large number of in
competent persons the expenditures would
have been much less.
Henderson Of Iowa contended that the
office had been economi ally administered.
Sayers SAID that many of the employees
who had been drawing of 500 month were
unable to discharge their duties. He be-
lieved that committee should be appointed
to investigate the office.
Dngley Of Maine regretted that the gen.
tleman from Texas had made charges
against the Superintendent of the Census
which had never been made from the Com
mlttee on Appropriations. 1t seemed to
him that such charges made from anony-
nous sources should have been brought 10
the attention Of that committee. He be-
performed the duty entrusted to him. Ii
the expenditures of the bureau had been in
creased 1t was due to the fact that Congress
had imposed upon 1t the new and unheard-
of duty OF inquiring into the private busi-
ness Of citizens and compelled them to dis
close the amounts of their farm mortgages.
DUNCAN of Ohio opposed an appr0pTia-
ton for the Census Bureau until the charges
were answered satisfactorily. 1t had been
said that tons and tons of the statistics had
been destroyed after compilation, and that
lot of punching machines lan invention of
relative) which could be purchased for
SO, had been employed at royalty Of So.
Cooper Of Indiana criticized the Census
Office on the ground that it Disseminated
against certain limestone industries Of In
diana In favor of others.
Stone OF Kentucky paid high tribute to
the ability and efficiency of the Superint3n-
dent of the Census.
Sayers offered an amendment apprOpri-
ating S115.514 for the subsistence of the
Sioux Indians and calling upon the Secre-
tary OF the Interior 10 report to the House.
and it makes all the employees under the di-
recti0n and supervision Of the Indian Bu-
reau. The latter clause of this amendment
was the first general legislation incOrpo-
rated upon the Appropriation Bill. but no
objection being made, the amendment was
adopted.
The committee having arisen, the bill was
passed.
The private calendar was then taken up
for consideration, but no progress was
made, and the House adjourned till to-
morrow. when eulogieS will be delivered

RIVERS And HARBORS.
Advocates Of Improvements for Western
Rivers Given a Hearing.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The House Com
mittee on Rivers and HarbOrs gave a hear
ing this morning TO a delegation from the
Western Water ways Convention held in
Evansville, Ind last o. tober, to urge upon
Congress larger appropriations for tie i'm
prOvemen. f Western rivers. William II.
Miller, Secretary Of tile Missouri River Iu-
pr0vements Association. addressed the COM
mitJee in favor Of an appropriation for the
Mississippi aad Missouri River valleys. He
spoke maialy of the Influence II water
facilities n prumOtinE industry and COM
merce.
Miller thought the advantages resulting
from improved river transpOrtat on would
be to Increase the value If land adjacent 10
the Missouri from So TO So and Sl00 per
acre.
Patrick Henry of Memphis made a brief
statement for the Mississippi River Com
mission.
W. J. Roberts Of Pittsburg advocated very
briefly the Improvement Of the Ohio, and
spoke II the vast saving IN coal trauSpOTta-
ton that would accrue b. a liberal eXpen-
diture for tie Ohio and its small tributaries.
Captain keck Of Cincinnati thought the
Ohio River the most important stream in
this country. and vet il gels less from Con-
gTess in proportion to its value than any
other river in the country. What was
needed on the Ohio was r good apprOpTia-
tiOn for more dreige and snag boats. The
hearing was then closed.
