According to Poor's Manual. the num-
Der OF miles OF railroad operated In the
United States IN 1894 was 1854, an In
crease Of 2,OH over 1898. The decreases
Of the year were: In tons Of freight
moved. nearly II per cent: in freight
mileage, 912 per cent: In passengers
carried, TBS per cent; in passenger mile
age. 1920 per cent: In earnings from
freight, 1886 per cent: In earnings from
passengers. N.25 per cent; IN m:npellan-

of elevated roads. 9.A per cent; In total
gross earnings. ll.6l per cent; In net
earnings. 1853 per cent; In earnings per
ton per mile, 40 per cent. But we learn
that from all quarters comes the informa-
ton that the business OF 1886 VIII be
great improvement over that for 1894.

STEAMSHIP DISASTER.

LONDON, January 30, - The North
German Lloyd steamer Elbe, Capt.
Won Gossett, from Bremen yester
day, for New York, via Southamp-
ton, has been sunk in collision with
the British steamer Crathle, bound
from Rotterdam for Aberdeen. At
the time of sending this dispatch
the loss of life is unknown, but re-
port has it was enormous. The dis
aster occurred before daylight this
morning at point some thirty
miles from the Point of Holland.
The first intimation Of the dis
aster came from Lowest Of Suffolk,
one of the chief English fishing
ports, Later this afternoon word
was received from that place, say
ing that it was reported there that
a transatlantic line steamer had
been sunk in the North Sea and
that the loss of life was very
great, The first dispatch stated
shat there had been $50 persons ON
the Elbe and that only nineteen
had been saved, the rescue having
been landed at Lowestolt by fishing
vessels. Later dispatches to the
Exchange Telegraph Company and
to Lloyd's confirmed the report of
the loss Of the steamer, and still
later it was learned that the Cra-
THE, the steamer that sunk the
Elbe, had put into Mas Louis, Hol-
land, in a damaged condition She
reported that she had been in col
lision with an unknown ocean
steamer.

NO FINANCIAL BILL AGREED ON,

WASHINGTON, Jan. AT the
morning meeting of the Senate fl
nance committee the various propo-
sitions embodied in the Jones, Vest,
Mcpherson, Smith and Sherman
bills were gone ever, and there we're
some indications towards the close
Of the meeting that it might be
possible to secure majority vote
on a modification Of the Jones bill.
There was no vote on any proposi'
tion, however, and the expression
Of opinion was not clear enough to
render it certain what would be the
outcome of the Afternoon meeting,
the committee having agreed to
meet again at 2 p. m.
The proceedings of the afternoon
session were based upon a bill which
had been prepared by Senator
Voorhees,, This bill provides SIMPLY
for the issuance of short time GER
tihcates, which we're to be used for
the purpose Of making good the re-
serve and of meeting the revenue
deficiency, but when the afternoon
session opened he had added a clause
providing for the free coinage OF
silver. There was a motion to
strike out the silver provisions,
which was lost on a tie vote Of ! to
B, all the Republican members and
Mcpherson Dem voting for the
motion and all the other Democrats
opposing it. A vote was then taken
on the proposition as a whole, and
It was lost by a vote of 7 to 3, Sen
ators Vest and White, as well as
Mcpherson, voting with the Repub'
lcans.
There was also a tie vote on mo-
ton by Senator Aldrich to substi'
tute the Springer bill for the Voor'
hees bill.
The committee adjourned without
agreeing on any definite time Of
meeting, and some Of the Republi.
cans sald Afterwards that they saw
no reason for any more meetings,
as It had been made evident that II
would be impossible to accomplish
anything in the committee There
was a full attendance Of the con'
mittee, except that Senator Jones
Of Nevada was absent. 1t was his
absence that caused the tie vote,
If he had been present his vote
would have been cast with the silver
Democrats,
