NORTHERN PACIFIC Runs BEHIND
Enormous Interest CHARGES Eating up
All tile Profits.
Chicago. Aug. 19.-The Tribune viii
say tomorrow:
During the past few weeks there
has been a great deal said IN the news
papers in regard to the Northern Pa
ciic railroad and the rival plans for
its organization. While it is an OBJ
ject of public interest that such an i'm
mense property should be lifted from
bankruptcy ana placed on solvent
basis, it is very evident that any re
organization, to be successful, must be
made on a plan OF fixing the charges Of
annual interest within the limit the
company can earn, over and above op-
Grating expenses, taxes. etc.
THE Northern Pacific system con-
sists Of about $500 miles of road, Of
which about $500 miles are owned by
the company and covered by it's mort
cages, and about HOO miles are leased.
The leased lines are covered by mort
cages, the bonds of which have been
guaranteed by the Northern Pacific
company. The year ending June 80,
1894, was a bad one for the railroad,
but the condition of business IS i'm
proving. The business Of the Northern
Pacific for the year ending June 80,
1895, should show a large increase over
the previous year. The statements Of
the term during which the receivers
have operated the railway, from Au-
gust 1G, 1893, to May 81, 1895 G21A
months), show that after paying inter
est on receivers certificates, first
bonds, collateral trust notes and Ger
tain other bonds, there was surplus
OF $297,S46.

an agreement has been reached to be

arrangements, TO prevent low and to
secure nish rates Of railroad transport

haps the world, has ever known. It
embraces all the American lines be-
tween Chicago and the west and New
York and the east, and also the Grand
Trunk Railway Of Canada, doubtless
covering three thousand millions Of
organized money.
The Canadian Pacific railroad is not
included, fortunately for New England.
The object is to abolish competition on
freight and passenger rates. to guard
against any possible lowering Of prices
and to accomplish as soon as the traf-
fc viii bear It, a raising Of the present
charges. IN view Of the immense in

Of discovering whether it's proposed /
