RAILWAY FAILURES.
A Disastrous Year Instead of the Prosper
Gus One Expected.

Gus One Expected.
CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-The Railway Age
publishes an elaborate statement of
the financial troubles of railway COM
panies during the year. 1t says:
During the year now closing nearly Is per
cen. of the entire railway mileage OF the
United States, representing over Il per cent
of the entire capitalization has gone into the
hands of receivers During the two years,
1892 and 1898, the companies for which receiv-
ers were appointed represent over 10 per cent
of the mileage and nearly is per cent of the
capital stock and bonds Of all the railways in
the country.
The Philadelphia & Reading failure in Feb
ruary was the first great wreck of the year,
and although several others of importance
soon followed, 1t was after the panic began
that the most notable calamities took place.
On July . came the Erie failure; in August the
great Northern Pacific confessed bankruptcy,
and in October the greater Union Pacific sys.
tenn went into the hands OF receivers. Mean
time and since, less notable COM
panies, though many of great impor-
lance have dropped into the insOlvent list until
now. two weeks before the close of the wear, we
find in the record of companies for whom re-
ceivers have been appointed since January no
less than seventy-one roads with nearly 1900
miles of line, with an outstanding bonded in
debtedness of almost s154,0O60OO and capital
stock aggregating over 35340O00J. making n
total of almost 81 PISS 900 900 of stock and bonds
from which all returns are suspended, with the
certainty that large part of'their value will be
wiped out before the long process of he courts

The Hawaiian Provisional Government
Ready to Fight the Whole world-It Can
Raise an Army of Two Thousand Men.
Honolulu, Dec 4.-Since the arrival
of the steamer Warrimoo on the cath
political events have followed each
other with startling rapidity. Dis
patches forwarded 20 the Associated
press by sailing vessels on November
10 and % have not fully anticipated
the serious condition Hawaii is now
passing through in the most deter
mined and heroic way. When the War
rimoo arrived with Cleveland's ulti-
matum the royalists were jubilant,
and the annexationists at once began
to carry out the previous plan for
forcible resistance in case the steamer
China, which arrived three days later,
brought instructions to Minister Willis
for the restoration of the monarchy
with the aid of the United States troops
from the Adams and Philadelphia.
Within twenty-four hours after the
news brought by the Warrimoo was re-
ceived. 1000 determined annexation
lists had assembled on short notice at
the drill shed of the barracks behind
the Executive building. The meeting
was short but wildly enthusiastic.
THE spirit of 1916" prevailed, and
some who heard the ringing cheers
which welcomed the speech of Presi-
dent NJ NJ. Hatch, of the Annexa-
ton club and presentation of the
resolutions, thought the monarchy,
even though restored by superior
force of the United States, might be
short lived. Since this mass meeting
the spirit of enthusiasm which at first
prevailed among the royalists has been
in state of fluctuation, and some of
the clearest headed admit the success
of the restoration in the present OF
future depends on the armed protec-
ton of the monarchy by the United
States.
After the undecided character of the
news received by the steamer China,
the opinion prevailed until the arrival
of the Australia that instructions
would be received by the latter vessel
for immediate restoration. Pending
the Australia's coming. several impor-
tant cabinet and council meetings
were held. and it was determined to
meet the proposed restoration of the
monarchy by the combined forces of
the government the American league,
the Annexation club and citizens re-
serve guard, whose joint strength is
about 1000 men on this island and
within Honolulu.

TRADE WITH CHINA.
Possibly a New Treaty for the Extension of
Our Trade with the Celestial Empire.

Possibly a New Treaty for the Extension of
Our Trade with the Celestial Empire.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-It is probable
that before long the state department
will enter upon a negotiation looking
to the Strengthening out of our rela
tions with China. The enactment of
the Geary law will be looked upon as
an infraction of our present treaty
with China. and so. in effect. putting
an end to it. That treaty grants to
the United States privileges which are
highly valued and which, it will be
sought to perpetuate to us. But it
will have to be done by new treaty.
There is good authority for saying
Secretary Gresham aspires to make the
extension of trade relations and privi-
leges with China central feature of
his administration of the state depart
ment. 1t would supersede the Pan
American policy of his predecessor in
the department and would be contrast
ed with it.
1t is known Secretary Gresham has
little faith in the future of our trade
relations with the Spanish-American
extension of our commerce. He is said
to regard that field as not well worth
the expense and labor of cultivating it.
China is believed to be contemplating
a large extension Of the privil ges of
her market to foreigners and to be
anxious to avail herself of the advan-
tages of western ingenuity and the
products of our civilization. At the
same time she fears aggressions from
European nations and is not
willing to risk their policy of
elf-aggrandizement by entering in
to closer relations. Her states
men are believed. however, to regard a
closer trade relation with the United
States with favorable feelings both on
account of the greater propinquity of
the two countries and the less aggres-
sive character of our foreign policy. 1t
is said by those in position to know
that definite results may come of the
negotiations within n comparatively
short time.

UGLY CROWS.
Their Depredations Exhaust the Patience
of Montana Cattlemen.

BILLINGS, Mont, Dec. 15.-The Crows
are out again. Nearly all the young
men of the tribe belonging to the
Pryor mountain branch, the ones who
made the trouble last spring on the
newly coded strip, are massed on the
head of Saltwater creek, off their res
ervation, and are killing cattle wanton-
". Wyman has refused to make an
effort to drive them in, and refers the
sheriff to the governor for aid.
Sheriff Ramsey has telegraphed Gov.
Richards the status of affairs, but has
reason to believe the settlers will take
the matter into their own hands, if
they have not already done so. The
locality where the Crows are doing
their chief work of destruction is about
forty miles from the railroad, and the
settlement is sparsely settled, but the
stockmen have a detachment in the
field and have declared their intention
to take the law into their own hands
and protect their stock, even if they
are obliged to kill off half the Crow
tribe.
The mood of the stockmen and set
tiers is dangerous one. Low markets
and losses from Indian slaughter have
so irritated them that they will stand
no more. Besides, the two white men
that Were killed last spring by Crows,
in a most suspicious manner, had
friends and neighbors, particularly in
that region, who will not let this
chance to avenge them pass lightly.

a FORTUNE FOR TWO.
Valuable Property Given to Two Leaven-

ment.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13-By decision
of the interior department the island
of l, 400 acres formed in the Missouri
river opposite Leavenworth becomes
the property of Stillings & Diefendorf,
citizens of Leavenworth. who hold the
original government patent The land
is considered very valuable property,
as the best coal beds operated by the
Leavenworth penitentiary extend I'M
der it. In 1865 when the government
made its first survey there were only
400 acres in the island and in 1890
Stillings e Diefendorf took out
government patent. Since that
time 900 acres have been added to the
island by accretion and squatters took
possession of the new land. At the
time the original patent was granted
the island lay on the Missouri side, but
is now on the Kansas side. The origi-
nal holders of title made application
for a new government survey and had
Representative Brodericll. of Kansas,

sary for Stillings and Diffendorf to in

FREDERICK, Nd, Dec. 16.-The peo-
pie of the vicinity of Rocky Springs,
this county, have been thrown into a
state of excitement by the reported
discovery in the woods there of grave
on the section burnt over by fire last
summer 1t was first found by two fox
hunters, who told about it, and last
Sunday the whole neighborhood turned
out to look for it, but failed to locate
it The fox hunters say it contained
headless body, and it looked to them
like case of foul plav. The spot is
about five miles west of Frederick, in

A POSTAL REFORM.
Substance of Bill introduced by Con.
gresham Dockery.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Congressman
Dockery, chairman of the joint comis-
sion to investigate departmental work.
ings, has introduced a bill for reference
to the commission which is the result
of the Investigations which have been
made by the commission. The bill is
approved by the acknowledgement
and should it be favorably considered
by the joint commission will doubtless
become law at very early date.
The bill abolishes the postal note and
in lieu thereof authorizes the post
master-general to designate certain
post offices to issue money orders for a
sum less than So The bill also changes
the present schedule of fees for the is
sue of money orders very materially,
reducing them to the rates now charged
by the express companies. Under the
present schedule the express companies
have been doing profitable business
which arises from the sale of larger or
ders, and have been generously permit
ting the government to do the bust
ness of issuing small notes, which is
done at loss. The new schedule is a
harmonious and consistent one and will
result in large increase of profitable
business to the government.
The bill also provides for a speedy
accounting of all outstanding unpaid
money orders and postal notes more
than IL months old. The result of this
provision will be to turn into the treas
ury for the use of the post Office de-
partment about $4,000. 900 of money ~
ing idle and inactive in the subtreasury
in New York. The bill also repeats
that action of the statute which re-
quires applicants for money orders to
fill out printed blank, and in several
of its sections provides for reorgan-
ization of the business methods OF the
post Office department so as to secure a
speedy adjustment of the accounts of
all postmasters both presidential and
fourth-class.
This bill in connection with other
recommendation which will probably
be made very soon by the commission,
will result in a very large annual re-
duction of expenditures in the post of
fee department while at the same time
increasing its efficiency.

Wheat Stored Away by Farmers.

READING, Pa, Dec. 13.-Last year a
number of farmers east of here stored
their wheat away for higher prices.
Some had as high as 500 to LOCO bush
els. The prevailing price then was CSC
to 67c bushel. The harvest of 1893
came along. and some also put this
crop away, because the price now is
only 64c to Csc. Some of the dealers
say that they do not care about buying
the wheat crop of 1892 any longer. and
that they will not pay more than SOC a
bushel. Some farmers intend feeding
wheat to their stock this winter, and a
decreased acreage of wheat, the pros
poets are, will be planted next year.
