Issued BY the Interstate Commerce
Commission.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 25.-The
Interstate Commerce Commission has

penditures of railways in the United States
for the last fiscal year. The report IN
cludes the returns from $50 roads, whose
reports were filed On or before November 9,
1895, and covers the operations of 164.529
miles of line, or 92 per cent of the total
mileage in the United States.
The gross earnings were 81 ,003. 022, 1853,
of which 1928 ,465, ,792 were from passenger
service. 1888 ,022, 1888 from freight service
and $26, ,217, ,595 were other earnings from
operations covering earnings from tele-
graph, car mileage, balances. switching

were $677, ,677 $50, leaving net earnings Of
$325, 355, ,218, as compared with net earnings
of 1920, ,137 $40 for the same roads in 1894.
Reduced to mileage basis the gross earn
ings were $6OS6, operating expenses were
$4119 and net earnings were $1977, or de-
crease in gross earnings of $13 per mile as
compared with 1894 and 1904 per m lie as
com pared with 1S93 a decrease in oper-
ating expenses of $44 per mile as CON-
pared with 1894 and of $757 as compared
with 1898.
Net earnings show a gain over 1894 of

ESTIMATES ARE TOO Low,
Report Of the Commission on
the Nicaragua Canal Con
Struction.
To Build the Big Ditch 1t Will Cost
Nearly Double What the Mari.
time Company Stated.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. 25.-The
Herald this morning prints a special
Washington dispatch giving the conclu-
sions of the commission appointed to ex-
anime the Nicaragua canal route. The re-
port states that the project is impractic-
able on the present data. 1t says newt
able delay and a further and more
thorough investigation of the entire SUBJ
ject are necessary before even the engi-
neering feasibility of any canal across MIC
aragua can be decided upon.
The report is at such variance with the
numerous rumors and predictions which
have, from time to time, been published
concerning it, that it will cause great sur
prise and disappointment among those
who have hoped for a generally favorable
report, and who have, therefore, placed
credence in these rumors, which usually
stated, ION the highest authority" that
the commission favored the route proposed
by the company, and placed Ihe cost at
about $110, ,000, 900.
The report points out that it is neither
practicable nor advisable to attempt the
construction of the Nicaragua canal upon
the data at present available, and that the
undertaking would be fraught with haz-
ards too obvious to be disregarded. That
the necessary knowledge may be had of
the physical and Typographical conditions
affecting the construction and mainte-
nance of a canal across Nicaragua, upon
which to form a final Judgment as to the
feasibility, permanence and cost, the COM
mission recommends an appropriation by
Congress of $350,O00 for extensive addi-
tional surveys and examinations covering
a period of eighteen months.
With the data at hand however, the
commission makes a provisional estimate
of costs of $133, ,472, ,S93, or nearly double
that OF the Maritime Canal Company's un-
conditional estimate OF $69, ,893, 800. The
commission makes it's. estimate ''pro-
visional," for the Commissioners say the
existing data are inadequate as basis for
estimating the cost of many structures.
Some portions of the work may cost more.

4 SHORT LEASE OF LIFE,
The Poolroom Ordinance Laid
Over for Two Weeks
More.
Its Advocates Unable to Pass It to
Print-A Home for Dipsomaniacs
May Be Built.

In spite of the efforts of its advocates TO
push the poolroom ord finance to print at
yesterdays meeting of the Board of Super
visors the project failed, Supervisor Kings
motion to lay the matter over two weeks
being carried by vote of to 5.
Those who desired the matter laid over
were: Supervisors King, Scully, Hirsch,
Benjamin. Hughes, bunker and Wagner.
Supervisors Dimond, Taylor, Morgenstern,
Spreckels and Hobbs voted in favor Of pas
sage to print.
T. II. Williams Jr. was introduced by
Supervisor King to speak on the subject,
but his remarks were mainly confined to
the evils of foreign books, which be said
would "sink the whole works" if allowed
to run. He thought the board should lay
the ordinance over for couple OF weeks to
allow competent legal authority to ex-
anime it for flaws that might be evaded by
the poolroomS.
The Hirsch bicycle ordinance which,
after much amending and pruning, was
police alike, was finally passed and is ex-
pected to improve the condition of affairs
existing bet @een the riders and the author
tiles.
The board promised to print resolution
requesting the San Francisco Gas Light
Company to lay mains and place street
lamps as follows: One lamp on the south
side of Pine street, between Powell
and Mason; two lamps on Harry
street, between Sixteenth and Seven
teenth; two lamps on Dolores street,
between Sixteenth and Seventeenth !;
two lamps on Sharon street, between Six
teenth and Seventeenth; one lamp in front
of 1015 Vallejo street, one lamp on the
east side of Polk street, north OF LON
bard; one lamp on the northwest corner of
Polk and Lombard streets, and one lamp
on the north side Of Lombard street, be-
tween Polk and Van Ness avenue.
Supervisor Spreckels introduced reso-
luton that was adopted recognizing" the
vast amount of good accomplished by the
streets, and inviting the mem bers to at
tend the meetings Of the Street Committee
of the board to offer any suggestions they
may think advisable.
Supervisor Wagner introduced a resolu-
tion providing for the building of home
for dipsomaniacs and inebriates under the
direction of the Board of Health and at
cost OF not more than $4,000. William
Mooser Jr. was named as the architect
who should draw up the plans.
Supervisor Taylor objected to the meas
ure. saying that bids Tor the work OF draw
ing the plans should be advertised for.
He moved that the matter be laid on the
table. This was defeated but motion to
refer the matter to a committee of the
whole was carried, Supervisors Spreckels,
Dimond, Hughes, bunker, Taylor, Nor
genstern and Hobbs voting in the at1irma-
tive. The last Legislature provided S35, 900

of such forfeiture.
He explains to Lord Kimberley that
Senator Morgan is the chairman OF the
Senate Committee of Foreign Relations,
that he was one of the two members repre-
senting the United States on the tribunal,
and it is not surprising that his denuncia-
tions of the arrangement should prejudice
Congress and the public against 1t. More
over, he adds, the great pressure and busi-
ness and the strong party feeling which
marked the close of the session rendered
it impossible to obtain fair and dispas-
sionate consideration of the question.

qualities of the American people to
doubt that it will be ultimately adjusted
on a sound and honorable basis"
That Sir Julian's argument in supper of
the British contention met with the ap-
proval of his official superiors is evidenced
from Lord Salisburys letter to him, written
on the 31st day of August last:
Il need scarcely say that the arguments
which you bring forward in support of the
validity of these claims have the entire
approval and concurrence of her M Majesty's
Government. The attempt made by Sena-
tor Morgan to dispute them seems to be
largely founded on misrepresentation, and
her Majesty's Government cannot doubt
that when the full facts are before the
public in the United States the liability of
that country to make condensation which
has never been denied by the Government,
will be generally recognized in and out

versation until spoken to. He is small

a gray sack suit, that seemed to sit rather
uncomfortably. AS to his confinement he
expressed no dissatisfaction, and when
questioned said he was there for contempt
in accepting the lease from White, and he
did not know nor did he appear to care
what the outcome might be.
He has not even had trial," said
White. "I would not be surprised" he
continued, though | would not state it as

BARCELONA, SPAIN, Nov. 25.-A ter
rible accident, resulting in a sad loss OF
life, occurred to-day at Palma. capital of
the island of Majorca, 130 miles south of
this city.
Eighty persons, most of whom were
women, were employed in emptying old
cartridges, which exploded in some un-
known manner. There was large guam
tity of powder that had been taken out of
cartridges lying about over large area,
and this was ignited by the discharge of
the cartridges. A tremendous explosion
followed, which shattered the masonry of
the town walls, which are extremely thick,
and did considerable damage to houses.
A large number of people were killed,
but what TIE exact loss OF life was has not
yet been ascertained.
The bodies of seventeen dead have been
found, but it is feared that many more
were killec, their bodies, perhaps, having
beeu blown TO atoms, as number of those
who were at work have not been ac-
counted for. Forty persons were seriously
wounded and some of them will die.
Many OF the dead and wounded were
scene of the accident, they having been
hurled bodily through the air by the force
of the explosion. Some of the dead were
terribly burned and mangled, so much SO
in number of cases that Identification
will be extremely difficult, if not i'm
possible.
An official inquiry into the cause of the
disaster will be held.
