And What II Produced in Incomc-Some
vital Statistics.
Tho number of passengers carried was
6l9, GSS, lGo an increase over the previous
year of .6 Ia7, ,.S7, and was occasioned by
the worlds fair travel. There was a large
decrease in the freight trafiic-lOd, 932, go

show decrease rs compared with the
previous year Of Si47, 39), or. The amount
of operating expenses decreased S96 6aoG,-
0I7. The largest per cent OF decrease was
in the expenses assigned TO maintenance
of way and structures, and to main
tcnancc Of equipment.
The net earnings were s3il, ,9i7, 475
which after dcducting fixsd charges. etc,
left net income of S5j, 755, go available

with ths previous year Of nearly 80 per

from freight traffic was $500, i9o, ,9l5
During the year S.3 railway employees
compared with ., 127 killed and 81, 129 in
jured in 1893. This marked decrease
In casualties Is partly due, the report says,
to the decrease in the number of men en-
ploycd and the decrease in the volume OF
business handled. The increased use OF
automatic appliances on railway equip
mcnt also may have rendered railway
empioyme less dangerous. Tho num-
Der Of passengers. killed was 3.i, an in

5ured-Sationai Capital Miscellany.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE seventh
statistical report of the interstate com
merce commission for the year ending
June 80, 1894, has just bocn submitted.
In the introduction especial attention
Is called to the peculiar condition affect.
Ing the operation of railways during the
year. First, the report covers the last
Tour months of the Columbian exposition,
during which time there was an increased
passenger traffic; second, it covers q
period Of widespread and unprecedented
business depression; third, on June 30,
1884. 1872 roads, operating upwards of 42.-
700 miles CT line and representing about
one.fourth of the total railway capitaliza-
tion, were in the hands of receivers. The
effect of these conditions is apparent in
nearly all of the figures presented.
Not Much New Railway Building.
The total railway mileage in the United
States on June 50. 1S9i, was IFS s 8, an in.
crease during the year of ., 2i7 miles The
increase during the previous year was A.
81. The per centage Of increase during
1894 was less than for any preceding year
for.which reports have been made to the
commission and it is not probable that
the year ending June 30, 1895, will show
much improvement. The number of
L.,
mileage Of all tracks was 233, 533 miles
The movement of consolidation during
the year on the basis of mileage involved
was greater than for tho four years prcvi-
Gus; fifteen roads, representing 1,534
miles, have been merged; twenty two
roads, representing Z, 352 miles, have been
reor ganizcd. and fourteen roads, repre-
senting $3.50 miles, have been CONSOLE
dated. Ninety roads opcratciI2.9O per cent
OF the entire mileage.
Safeguards and Number OF Employees.
During the year $40 locomotives and
81, 3S6 cars were fitted with train brakes
md IT, 197 locomotives and 81, 1856 cars
were fitted with automatic couplers. OF
the total equipment, "A 81 per cent is still
without train brakes and II per cent
without automatic couplcrs. The total
number Of railway employees on June 30.
1S9i was TS, Cos decrease as compared
with the number on June 81, 1898, of
%, y9i, or 10 rs per cent. This is u smaller
number employed than In any year since
1890. This decrease is due, the report
states, to the very great falling off in
traffic and the enicavor of tho railway
companies to cconomize. A new feature

Estimated Aggregate of Receipts June 30
Treasury People Confident.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE treasury
receipts from customs and internal
revenue SO far during the month Of
June show no Improvement over last
month, while the disbursements remain
practically the same. The receipts from
sugar importations are exceedingly low,
and the expected large increase from
whisky Withdrawals has no. material;
increased. For the first half of the pres
ent month the receipts from customs
amount to s6.E2i,125, and from internal

ceipts from customs for the eleven and n
half months of the fiscal year S!4S Si3 6SI,
and from internal revenue sources sl36 =

1t is estimated that on June 30 the
total receipts from customs Will aggregate
for the year sl53. 6lS. 952, and from internal
revenue s1i2 7J7. or and the deficit at the
end OF the year is estimated ut e., ,01o, 600
in round numbers. Notwithstanding
this showing for the year there is no ex.
pectation from any source of an extra ses-
sion Of congress, or o. another bond issue
before the regular meeting in Decem bor.
The gold reserve now amounts to about
so. 800 900. with an available cash balance
OF nearly e!Si QUO, 900, which IS regard cd
as ample to meet all ordinary demands.
The spirit of confidence and security
which pcrvadcs the treasury department
ut this time Is largely due to the provision
in the last bond contract obligating the
syndicate to protect the gold III the treas-
ury from Withdrawals fer export The
ability of the syndicate to carry out this
provision has been amply demonstrated
