Washington, Dec. l2-'rhc Interstate

Il preliminary report on the income and
expenditures of the railways in the
United States for the year ended June

The report submitted presents the chief
items of an income account by ten ter
ritorial groups for 652 roads, representing
IN operated mileage of 1i23G9 miles of
line, or about 81 per cent. of the total
mileage operated in the United States
The gross earnings upon this mileage

from operation was $36S, 61j,0l1 The
figures given in this preliminary state
ment Indicate, at least. a turning toward
prosperity. The earnings of the passen-
ger service are shown to be Sl.S,1 per
mile OF line, heing an increase of $1l3 as
compared with the previous year.
The earnings of the freight service also
show an increase over last year of $}l9
per mile of line The gross earnings per
mile Of line were Sc, 30 for 1896 and the
operating..cxpenses $3.50 leaving IA net
income per mile of line of 81, 1870, which
is in excess of that for the fiscal years
1893 and 1894, and compares fairly we'll
with the net income per mile of line for
1898 and 1892. The net earnings of the
1I2, 800 miles of line represented in this
income report were $36S, 675. OH for the
corresponding roads in 1895 This is the
item, increased by income from invest

RESCUING PEACHES.
$1,000 Spent in the Great Hale Orchard in
Destroying Worms

The great Hale peach orchard in Geor.
gia covers l,31S acres, GOO of which are in
bearing trees, and the remainder in nl,r-
Scry stock. There are avenues running
north and south through the orchard, 800
feet apart, with cross road every 900
feet. There are two large packing houses
100 feet long and 40 feet wide, and two
stories high, and lodging house or hotel
has just been built for the help, says

Last year some 400 helpers camped in
barns, wagons. tents, etc. At picking
time about 500 men and women, chiefly
colored, and 70 horses and mules, are en-
ployed, while 30 men and 30 mules are

board costs 81. 80 per week, while families
and parties can furnish their own food
and have it cooked for themselves if they
choose.
This year the curculio attacked the
peaches, and Mr.. Hale waged prompt war
upon the insects, EARRING the trees and
catching the insects in sheets tackled to
light semi-circular hoop frames. Two of
these were brought together about tree,

II Front street is not promptly widened

You complain of the lack of side

They have been Used to walking In the

century. and it is a difficult thing TO
convince such people that sidewalks

of Hilo should demand that a survey

it is the duty of the road board,

walks are made.

FOLLOWING AMERICAS LEAD.
England Appointing Commercial
Attaches.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Thomas
Ewing Moore, United States CONNER
cial agent at Weimar, has called the
attention of the department of state
to the fact that the British govern
ment has taken steps to supplement its
consular service by the appointment
of commercial attaches. So far, two
of these attaches have been appointed,
one at Berlin. whose field comprises
Germany, Netherlands and Scandina-
via, and one at Madrid, for Spain and
Portugal
The duties of these officials are to
relieve the consuls of the work of in
PRODUCING British goods into foreign
markets, and the beginning of this SER
vice has been noted with alarm by
England's greatest trade competitor,
Germany, where the press has begun
already an agitation looking to the
form of the German consular service
to meet England's action, involving a
special education and preparation Of
young men commercially and techni-
cally trained or else that they be sup
piled with especially trained assist
ants.
Mr. Moore attributes this agitation
in both Great Britain and Germany
for the remodeling Of the consular SER
vice 10 a perception of the excellent
results attending the development of
the United States of a system of spec
ial consular reports upon matters cal
culated to benefit American producers
and merchants.
