Stockholders of Reading have lost sine. February by the decline of their securitie, over $34. 000, 900 before the property wal further injured.
 1T want to say that we have coal OF hand now worth more than enough to pay cur foatipg obligations, and there will be
 no tr"nbls in carrying on the company'a finances nov. The trouble was brought
 about by the fact that we were doing an
 enormous business on small capital, and
 when this attack was made on us 1t hurt
 our credit so that we could not borrow
 money. Many @ business man and finan-
 cial institution has been ruined in the same
 way.
 Tho great menace to the Reading is the
 mortgage Under its terms the company
 is bound hand and foot. The mortgages
 prescribe exactly how the accounts shall
 be kept and directs that the balance on
 hand at the end of the year shall be paid
 to the bondholders. Now we earned the preference in the last year under the terms of the mortgage, but as @ matter of fact obliged to spend as much in order to learn it.
 There are 6, 900 cars on the line that are almos. worthless, They are old fashioned, hold very little, are expensive to keep up. snd yet we have had to use them. ss we have had no money to buy enough new ones. Our locomotives also are not power full or numerous enough to handle our business. We now expect to remedy this, for ss receivers we can do some things which we could not before. We will put the property in the best possible condition, so that it will earn all there is in the trade. One of the heaviest preference bondholders of the company told me to day If we had not paid that interest he would have ap- piled for receivership this month, 80 that we were obliged to come to it one way or the other :
 The Lehish Valley will remain with us as before. The New England system will be maintained. None of our friends have cold their New England stock. In fact the receivership will not affect the com pany's plans. but hope that it will not prove an unmixed blessing. I want to say that never knew how many friends the Reading had until to day. We have had offers of aRsistencs from all sides and the future of the company is very bright. We are not insolyent by any means. We will pay every dollar and the Reading will continue to develop its system. The coal ;rade is in no wise affected. The Reading station will be rushed to comple- ion."
 MT. McLaod's secretary stated this even Dg that statement showing the causes l hat led to the downfall was in course of l preparation and would probably be made | public to morrow. MT. Wilbur and Judge | 'sxson declined to talk upon the question | f the receivership The business of the | leading will go on as ususl, the accounts | CT wages and supplies being the first pay aeBts that are provided under receiver hip.

THE NAVAL RIATIONs.
 Hope That More May be Done Than the Work Directly Authorized by the BiIl.
 1 WASHINGTON, Feb. 20-Persons inter-
 ested in the growth of the new navy are
 somewhat disappointed by tho conservative
 character of the naval appropriation bill
 recently reported to the house, and are
 beginning to figure on the possibility of I accomplishing something more than the bill seems to warrant on the surface. The
 bill provides for one 1 200 ton seventeen
 knot gunboat, to cost $400,00O. Almost
 every naval appropriation bill, after leav- ing the house, Is increased in the senate. Last year, for instance, the house provided
 for an armored cruiser, the Brooklyn, and
 the senate added the battleship Iows. It is reasonable to suppose that an equal in- crease may be secured this year, in the form either of another battleship or of @ number of torpedo boats.
 But the increase of the navy is not en- tirely dependent on this contingency. There are appropriations already available upon which the secretary may draw if he chooses. During Mir. Cleveland's first ad ministration congress authorized the con struotion of second dynamite cruiser like the Vesuvius, at a cost not exceeding S450, ,000 That authority has never been used, on account of the doubts that have been felt concerning the success of the Vesuvi1s and her guns. Indeed, during nearly the whole of the present adminis- tration the original dynamite cruiser has been under cloud. The recent experi- ments, however, have gone far to convince the unbelieving that Secretary Whitney was right In his opinion that we have 8 vessel with which no ironclad can afford to take any chances In view of this change in expert judgment, 1t is quite possible that the new secretary may decide to build a mate to the Vesuvius.
 Congress authorized also, some years ago, the construction of a torpedo-cruiser at a cost of $350, ,000. The navy depart ment found that it could not get such vessel ss 1t wanted at that price, and the | work has been held up in the hope that | congress would increase the appropriation. In the event of failure to secure the in- crease, however, the contract may be let | without. Materials ought to be cheaper | now than when proposals were first adver- | tised for, in view of the reductions of | wages by Carnegie and other manufactur- CTS; and, as all the shipbuilders except the | Cramps are running short of work, 1t may yet be possible to get bid within the sp- propriation.
 This will make three new ships even if | congress feels indisposed to proceed beyond the program of the naval committee of the | house. It Is possible that the committee had in mind the situation as 1t exists and shaped it's recommendations with view to having old scores cleaned up before any new ones were opened.
