INCOME OF RAILROADS.
Interesting Figures From the Intcrstate
Comme rec Commission.

The preliminary report of the statis-
tician Of the interstate commerce COM
mission for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1895. just issued. shows some inter-
esting figures regarding the income ac-
count of the railways of the United
States. The number of roads covered
IL $50. representing 16i.529.3S miles of
line. and, as the aggregate of operated
mileage for the previous year was 49,
G9O.36. 1t appears that not more than
100000 miles are not represented in the
report. Following shows the gross and
net earnings from operation and the
increase OF decrease per mile as COM
pared with the previous year:

Decrease.
Regarding these figures the report
says:
The most significant fact as throwing
light upon the effect Of commercial de-
preston upon railway management Is
found in the movement of operating ex-
penses. In last years preliminary report
attention was called to the fact that
reduction in operating expenses follows
rather than accompanies u decrease in
gross earnings. The present report seems
to indicate that when the managers of
railways are forced to reduce operating
expenses the cut Is made decisive and
final. Thus the decrease in the operating
expenses for the fiscal year 1884, as com
pared with 1893, was $713 per mile of line.
the corresponding decrease for the year
ended June 80. 1895, as compared with The
fiscal year 1894. was but sH per mil3 CT
line. This indicates that the reduction IN
operating expenses which. as shown IN the
final report for the year ended June 30,
1894. occasioned a reduction Of $4,000 in the
number of employees. has been accom-
plished, and that no further sweeping re-
ductions are to be expected 1t is facts
of this sort which warrant the resumption
Of business by manufacturers with conf
dence In the future.

seeds. The secretary was referred to in most
contemptuous terms BY Boatner, who who
particularly severe on the secretary for say.
ing some time since that some representa-
tivcs sold their quota of seeds instead Of
sending them to their constituents. Boat
her said this was an infamous Islander.
Livingstone said that IL Morton did not
obey the house It would impeach him.
This occurred during the debate on the
agricultural bill, on which measure gen.
oral debate was completed. A resolution
was adopted for an inquiry into the power
Of an executive officer 70 refuse to executs

tional. This refers to Bowlcr's decision

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE French senate
Saturday. by vote Of $50 to 20. rc-adopted
the resolution passed by that body on
Feb. II after the premier. Bourgeois had
demanded . vote of confidence on tho
question Of the Southern railway scam
dals. The chamber of deputies on Thurs-
day last voted confidence in the govern
ment on the Same question. The cabinet
referred the question Of its resignation to
the president. and finally decided to ignore
the senate's vote. This action has brought
on what Is considered the gravest crisis
the French republic has faced for long
time. II ever.
Paris In Sight Of Mob Law.
Tho Paris correspondent of The Times
teleeraphs as follows to that paper: ''The
cabinet has sounded . clear note. II 1t
succeeds, it Is nothing more or less than .
coup d'etat. II it fails. it is nm act Of vio-
lcnce to no good end. The setting aside
Of the vote Of the senate virtually upscts
the constitution. II the senate stands
firm there are only two altcrnatives-the
resignation Of the ministers or the expul-
sion of the senate by q mob. The latter
would mean the superseding Of the consti'
tuition by revolutionary convention.
r., h., ~ xrhirh
bles on Thursday, ray, however, recoil
from q second VOTE which might prove
disastrous. The situation is the most
delicate we have seen in twenty-five
years"
Crisis Said To He Very Grave.
The special dispatches from Paris this
morning all agree rs to the gravity of the
crisis. According to semi-official state
ment Bourgeois, the premier, had an in
tcrview with President Faure yesterday
afternoon and explained that the conflict
of the senate with the chamber had as
sumed such . character that q resignation
of the ministry would not solve the crisis.
The cabinet had therefore decided to
await the further expression Of the opin.
ion Of the chamber. the ministers agree
ing that they can no more yield to the
