The libel OF Alfred Malcolm against the
bark Cosusa for s202 came up before Judge
Hanford in the United States court yester-
day on amotion for dismissal by the own
ers, the grounds stated being technical.
and the motion was overruled. Then ex-
captions were filed TO the libel and the ex-
captions were sustained, which has the
result Of denying any further application
for relief until the vessel has completed
her voyage under the shipping articles.
The exceptions dealt with the merits of
the case. principally upon the ground that
the filing Of the libel was premature. inas-
much ~ the ship had not completed her
voyage nor landed the freight. MaIeolm's
contention was that he was discharged
sftsr having met with an accident that
disabled him, although he was engaged for
the full voyage, and he demanded the
money that would be his had he made the
entire voyage. He admits having received
his wages IN full for tho time he actually
worked. but says 1t was accepted under
protest. Shortly after the libel was filed
the bark filed q bond for her release, and
last Saturday she sailed for Shanghai.

CANADA'S RAILWAY SYSTEM.
She Owns One-Tenth Thcreof-Loss OF
100000 in One Year-French Roads.

She Owns One-Tenth Thereof-Loss Of
S6OO,O00 in One Iear-French Roads.
In Canada about one-tenth of the
mileage of about 5000 miles is owned and
controlled and operated by the govern
ment. For the year 1892 the operation
of the government lines resulted in loss
of over 100000 At the present date by
far the larger portion (about five-sixths)
of the French railway system is operated
by private companies, each company serv-
ing definite territory and being compar-
atively free from the competition of other
lines. But the railroad properties ara
ultimately to become the property of the
government. This system is mixed one
of state and private ownership.
In Germany nearly 30 per cent. of the
railway mileage is owned by the govern
ment. Under the law the government is
required to manage the railways in the in
terest of general traffic on single sys-
TEN. 1t may cause the construction and
equipment of roads, and enforce uniform
traffic and police regulations. In Great
Britain and Ireland the government does
not own the railways There are stringent
regulations provided by law aud admins
tered by the railway commission and board
of trade
Italy has tried both state and private
railroads, and has come to the conclusion
that it is not advantageous to own and
operate the railways The result was II
reorganization of the whole railway sys-
TENS. Under the present system private
companies operate the state roads under
contract with the government. In Russia
the government is stated TO own and
operate about 40 per cent. of the railway
mileage. Nearly all of the railways owned
by private companies have received subsi
dies from the govern ment.
1t is stated that in the United States
several of the states have tried ownership
in limited way. Illinois constructed a
road mt "a cost of 81 ,000. .O01, bu. disposed of
it for Sl0o,pOO. Indiana had u sinil ar ex-
perience; Georgia owns railroad, but
found it eXpedient to lease it to a private
company; Pennsylvania constructed a
railroad from Philadelphia to Colum bia,
hut subse quently sold it; Massachusetts,
Michigan and several other states tried
the experiment without success.
The interstate commerce commission
disclaims any original investigation on
subject, the report being com piled from
existing sources of information

MISS CoNsUELA VANDERBILT.

affairs OF MIR. and Mrs. w. h Van derbilt.
Two stories are current The one which
the sensation mongers are the more ready
to believe is to the effect that Mrs. Wander
bit Is to claim residence in Rhode Island
Tor the purpose of securing divorce
from her recreant husband.
However. on the authority of one inti-
mately connected with the family the
assertion is made that complete recon-
citation has taken place between Mr.. and
Mrs. Vanderbilt and that they will
together entertain this autumn at New
port and i'll most lavish manner. The
story runs that the daughter Consuela has
oeen the person most active in affecting
the reconciliation. Miss Vanderbilt is to
be introduced into society this season, and
! 1t is probable that her parents, with both
of whom she is great favorite, are willing
for her sake to forget the past.

in Reply to a Request by senator Petit
grew-system in Operation in Europe,
with Comparison of Cobt of Travel
ing, Shipping. etc.
with a resolution of the senate, introduced
by Senator Pettigrew, the interstate com.
merce commission has compiled some
data regarding the ownership of railroads
by foreign governments. This is sum-
married. as follows: ''Is appears that ten
countries do not own or operate railways,
viz: Columbia, Great Britain and Ireland,
Mexico, Paraguay, Peru Spain, Switzer-
land, Turkey, United States and Uruguay.
The following governments own and
operate some of tn, railways: Argentina,
Australasia, Austria Hungary, Belgium,
Erazil. Canada, Cape of Good Hope, Chill,
Denmark, France. Germany, Guatemala,
India, Japan, Norway, Portugal, Russia
and Sweden-eighteen.
Americans Travel the Cheapest.
"The following governments own part
of their railways. but do not operate any,
leasing all the present mileage to private
companies, viz: Greece, Holland, and Italy
three. Though not claimed to be ac-
curate, it is believed that the foregoing
summary represents an approximately
correct statement of the relation of the
various governments to the railways of the
world.' A comparison of passenger
charges per mile shows an average in Grea;
Britain of Az cents for first class, 3.2C
cents for second class, and l.9i for third
class. In France the average is 3. Sc cents
for first class, 9 IS cents for second class,
and EOS cents for third class. In Germany
the rate is 8. l" cents first class, 2.32 cents
second class, and l. "A cents third class. III
the United States the average charge is
=. IL cents.
Also the Freight Goes Cheaper.
The average charges per ton per mile
are Us follows: In Great Britain 2SC
cents. in France 22) cents, in Germany
1.G4 cents, and in the United States l. o.
cent. The interest on capital invested in
| the several countries is as follows: United
Kingdom Al per cent, Franco 3.S per
cent, Germany 81 per cent, Russia Sd
per cent, Austria 81 per cent, Belgium
40 per cent, United States 3. L per cent.
The world SO per cent.
The System Extant in Austria.
The system Of operation of the railroads
in different countries is indicated: In
Austria about per cent. of the railway
mileage is owned and about IS per cent. is
operated by the state. Upon the expira
tion of charters, not exceeding ninety
years, the lines, lands and buildings of the
companies are turned over to the govern.
ment, bat the equipment remains the
property OF the private owners. Before 2
railway Is opened it must be approved by
4 ha f-.a
state roads are fixed by the government;
those of the companies are subject to re-
vision by the government every tn rec
years, and the government has power to
reduce rates if the net earnings exceed Il
per cent. on capital.
