RAILROAD OWNERSHIP +.
Some Statistics Compiled by the In
terstate Commerce Commission
by Direction of Congress.
AN INTERESTING REPORT,
In Which the Results of Government
and Private Ownership Are
Compared.
AN INTERESTING REPORT,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-ln compli
ance with resolution of the senate
introduced by Senator Pettigrew, tht
interstate commerce commission has
compiled some data regarding the own
ership Of railroads by foreign govern
ments. This ID summarized as follows
'It appears that 10 countries do not
own or operate railways, viz:
Colombia, Great Britain and Ireland
Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Spain, Switz.
erland, Turkey United States and Urn.
quay.
.'The following countries own and
operate some Of the railways:
Argentine, Australasia, Austria Hun.
gary, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Cape oil
Good Hope, Chilli, Denmark. France,
Germany, Guatemala, India, Japan,
Norway, Portugal, Russia and Sweden.
The following governments own
part OF their railroads, but do not ope-
rate any, leasing all the present mileage
TO private companies, viz:
Greece, Holland and Italy.
Though not claimed to be accurate, il
is believed that the foregoing summary
represents an approximately correct
statement of the relations OF the various
governments to the railways Of the
world.
Little encouragement For Ownership.
The relative rates charged for freight
and passenger service on the govern
ment owned railroads and the other
facts cited in connection with such
roads are calculated to afford little en-
couragement to the advocates of gov
srnment ownership. a comparison Of
passenger charges per mile shows an
average in Great Britain of 4,42 cents
Tor first class, $40 cents for second
class, and l.04 for third class. In
France the average for first class il !. So
cents, for second class Z. $50, and for third
class 2.06. Tn Germany the rate ii 3. 10
cents first class, asa cents second class.
and l.64 cents third class. In the
United States the average chargeis j. IL
cents.
The average charges per ton per mile
are as follows:
I'm Great Britain $50 cents; In France
2.20 cents; in Germany l.64 cents, and
lin the United States cent. The in.
terest On capital invested In the several
roads is as follows:

Russia 5.3 per cent; Austria 81 per

The systems Of operations Of the rail-
roads in different countriesis indicated:

English Accused OF Sinking i'm the Behr.
ing Sea Patrol.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Sept. 90
Unless radical changes are made in the
arrangements existing between Great
Britain and the United States in the
matter Of protecting seals, it is more
than likely that the Behring sea feet
next year will consist only of one or
two revenue cutters. Ever since the
joint patrol arrangement was entered
into, Great Britain has shirked its duty
and thrown seven-eighths of the work
on the United States. This year, as
was the case last season, the work of
patrolling the sea against pelagic seal
ers was performed by nine American
vessels, while the queens interests
were looked after by one small gunboat.
The entire result of this seasons work
resulted i'm two British schooners being
seized by American gunboats, and their
release speedily followed the hearing of
the cases before the British admiral at
Victoria, who held that the seizures
were made irregularly.
IAo VESSELS EelSTESu I'D were the VIC
toria schooners Wanderer and Favorite,
the latter having been released Satur-
day last. The business of the patrol
can be readily understood when it Is
known $a0O, 600 was expended in main
tanning it, while, the sealers are
making as large, if not larger, catches
than thoss Of the preceding seasons. 1t
is notorious fact that neyer since the
joint marine police force has been es-
tablished have the Britishers entered
upon the work with more than a half
hearted interest. Their ships spent the
greater part of the time at Sitka and
Onalaska, with their officers off on
hunting and fishing excursions. Their
neglect has called down much adverse
criticism, and it is more than probable
that next year our feet will be made up
Of one or two revenue cutters, if pri-
yate information just received is cor
rect.

The New York WGrId Publishes State
ments From Hundreds of Cor
... respondents.
FORMER ESTIMATES Low.
The Total Crop viii Likely Be 1,3Oo,-
100000 Instead of 1,0O0,0OO,OOO
Bushels.

New York, Sept. 20.-The World
publishes a detailed statement from
hundreds of western towns showing o
heavy shortage in the corn crop.
The World says: The biggest crop
raised by a single country is Indian
corn, and the United States is the
country that raises it. In good year
the United States produces 1900, OO0, 900
OF this staple and has produced more.
AT the average market price these
2,00O, ,000, 900 bushels are
Worth One Billion Dollars,
or about ten times as much as the gold
production of the whole world for q
year. Asevere drought has greatly re-
duced the yield. Just how much is
what many people would be very glad
to know, and The World therefore
prints reports from nearly 200 corre-
spondents scattered throughout the
corn region. These reports cover the
states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Ken
tucky, Michigan, Wisconsin. Minnesota,
Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and
South Dakota. The 10 states include
the great corn belt of the United States,
and in an average year produce about
75 per cent of the corn crop. The gov
ernment report makes the yield this
year about 1,100, 900, 900 bushels, but
almost all Of the corn authorities say
this is too low. These reports indicate
about
Two-thirds of an Average Crop,
Or in the neighborhood of 1900, 600, ,00O
The greatest reduction has been in the
states west of the Mississippi, and their
loss has been heavy. Kansas, which
raised more than 100, 100000 in a good
year, reports only 100000. But the
states east of the Mississippi river,
where rain is more certain quantity,
pull up the average.

menu every three years, anu bn0 gov
ernment has power to reduce rates if
the net earnings exceed 15 per cent ON
caEital. .
Operated at . Loss i'm Canada.
In Canada about one-tenth of the
mileage of about $4,000 miles is owned,
controlled and operated by the govern
ment. For the year 1892 the operation
of the government lines resulted in a
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 serving a
definite territory and being compare
lively free from the competition of
other lines. But the railroad properties
are ultimately to become the property
Of the government. This system is a
mixed one of state and private owner
ship.
In Germany nearly 80 per cent of the
railway mileage is owned by the gov
ernment. Under the law the govern
ment is required to manage the rail-
ways In the interest of general traffic
on single syAtem. It may cause the
construction and equipment of roads
and enforce uniform traffic and police
regulations.
In Great Britain and Ireland the gov
ernment does not own the railways.
There are stringent regulations provided
by law and administered by the rail-
road commission and board of trade.
Italy Has Tried Both.
Italy has tried both state and private
railroads and has come to the conclusion
that il is not advantageous to own and
operate the railways. The result was a
reorganization of the whole railway
systems. Under the present system,
private companies operate the state
roads under contract with the govern
ment.
sIn Russia, the government is stated
70 own and operate about 40 per cent of
the railway mileage. Nearly all OF the
railweys owned by private companies
have received subsidies from the gov
ernment.
It is stated In the United States sew
eral OF the states have railroad owner
ship In q limited way. Illinois con-
structed road at q cost of 81, 900, 900.
but disposed OF il for SlO0, 900; Indiana
had similar experience; Georgia owns
Q railroad, but found it expedient to
lease 10 TO private company; Pennsyi-
vania constructed railroad from Phil
adelphia to Columbia, but subsequently
sold 1t; Massachusetts,, Michigan and
several other states tried the expert
ment without success.
The interstate commerce commission
disclaims any original investigation on
this subject, the report being compiled
FROM existing sources Of information.
