THE PENNsY's REPORT.

The annual report Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company evidences the sagac-
ions and judicious management that
characterizes this organization.
The three grand divisions east OF Pitts
burg and Erie were managed with
such economy that, notwithstanding the
expenditure of more than 100000 for
extraordinary renewals, and quarter Of
million dollars advanced to the Ale
gheny Valley Railway, a cash dividend
OF five per cent. was paid to stockholders
and a scrip dividend of two per cent. was
paid out OF the profit and loss account
leaving a somewhat larger balance TO the
credit of that account at the end Of 1888
than there was at the beginning
on the lines Of Pittsburg operated 10y
the Pennsylvania Company, thenet profit
OF the year exceeded a million dollars;
lhe Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and
st. Louis Railway Company earned a net
profit Of Ss74 $3.50, and other lines west
nt Pittsburg, in which the Pennsylvan. a
is Interested. were operated at a net loss Of
SO, ,sG2,5 81 OF which the Pennsylvania
Railroads. share is $l9,9Ol 81. This leaves
profit on all lines west of Pittsburg of
$3.50, 5,l1OlL Tue Pennsylvania Company
paid dividend of per cent. on its capital
stock, and the Pittsburg, Cincinnati,
Chicago and st. Louis Railroad divi-
dend of 4 per cent on its preferred stock.
To realize the wutchfulness and care
required to manage such a business so as
TO insure the regular payment of divi-
depds, one must compare the magnitude
OF tile capital employed and the business
done with the smallness of the margin
iur profit. The share and bond capital
represented in the $500 miles of the Penn.
sylvauia system east and west of Pitts
burg is about ssl5OOO,OOO. The gross
earnings on all lines in 1893 amounted to
Sl3hO591sIG5: operating expenses 500,
I9l, ,55s,92; and net earnings, S39, SOS, ,22s. 70
There were l355l4,3ss tons of freight
moved and 5,l52, ,os9 passengers carried.
This is a splendid showing and cannot
lall to he highly gratifying to the stock
holders Of the road.

WON'T GO SOUTH.

The Houston (TeX.) Post, the Savannah
News and other Southern papers are felic-
ltating themselves over a report that
Northern cotton and other manufacturers
are thinking Of seeking locations in their
section In discussing the matter they
set forth the peculiar advantages which
they claim would ensue to the manu-
iactrers as well as to the South from
such acourse. The Houston Post in sum
ming up the matter says:
There is no reason why Texas should
not secure goodly share of this Northern
money getting ready to come South and
especially no reason why Houston with
unsurpassed advantages should not reap
some Of the passing benefits.
With all due respect to the Texas
Journal there is very good reason why
ueither Houston nor any other Southern
community should get any share at all of
the money of Northern manufacturers.
This class of people are held up to alb
borreuce by the men who control Texas
and the other southern states as robbers
whom it is the duty of these states repre-
seutatiyes in Congress to punish and ruin
by adverse legislation. To suppose shat
these Northern manufacturers will under
iake To transfer their business and capital
from friendly communities wherein their
best interests are steadily maintained by
their representatives, in the National
legislature to Others in which they will be
regarded as worse than felons as far as
friendly legislation is concerned, certainly
demands an immense amount of credulity
Houston and other Southern cities viii
get the benefits of the enterprise and
gapital of Northern manufacturers wher
obey give some practical evidence o
triendltness to the latter by sending rep
ueseutatiyes to Congress who will vote t.

ZANEsvILLE o., March 12-Since the
Hooking valley miners agreed to accept
fifty cents for mining $50 miners at Can
melville struck against a reduction of
per cent. Two men, Price and Conway,
gave in ard went to work. The strikers
held a meeting and started on hunt for
five deserters Conway was the only one
who could be found, and the strikers were
so wrought up that rope was produced
and there were threats of stringing him
up. Conway begged for his life, knelt on
the ground in prayer, and finally was al
lowed to go when he promised to leave
town. The other deserters have disap,
penrpd.

The WEEK m CONGRESS
Friends Of the seignlorage Bill Coma.
dent of Its Passage.

WASHINGTON, March l2-In accordance
with the agreement entered into on Friday
the senate will devote the major portion
OF this week to the consideration OF the
Bland seignioruge bill, which is to be
finally disposed of by a vote at 3 o'clock on
Thursday The agreement for the consid-
GRAFTON of the seigniorage bill does not
preclude the routine work Of the senate,
which is confined to the time before 2
o'clock in the day, and it IS probable that
many Of the bills on the calendar upon
which no division of sentiment IL proba-
bic will be taken up and passed during
this time and also after the seigniorage
bill is disposed of on Thursday and the re
naming days of the week, If the senate
should not adjourn over. 1t is probable
that there will he very little talk on the
part Of the friends Of the seigniorage bill,
as they feel confident of its passage.
Appropriation bills continue to have the
right Of way in the house this week. The
sundry civil bill, which was the unfinished
business when the house met this morn
ing, carries go, ,3O8 3S2-S9, 400 ,92s less than
that of last year. 1t will probably re
quire four days to dispose of this bill, the
two items that will provoke the most OPP
position b. the appropriations for the
geological %. q the coast and geodetic sur
veys. After the sundry civil bill is dis
posed of either the military or consular
diplomatic appropriation bill will consume
the balance of the week.

WLKEsBARRE, Pa, March 12.-No trace
of the thirteen men who are entombed
in the Gaylord mine at Plymouth has
been discovered, although the work has
gone on steadily ever since the accident.
