twenty-sevcn to twenty-three against

she maintains them solely for coaling purposes. In times of peace she sells the coal to the merchantmen of other nations and makes 0 pretty penny out of 1t, Every one of these islands Is for tified and the armaments are not al- lowed to fall behind the times, The Qualifications are well garrisoned and a big Warshlp would have @ hard time of it trying to approach, if the soldiers at the guns were opposed to it.
 In the West Indies England is partic- ularly well off in coaling islands. Her warships could use them as a base in event of trouble and would be in po- sition to do untold damage to the de- fenseless cities on the Atlantic sea board. With a Well-protected and all most eXhaustless coal supply, her war ships could cruise in American waters from one years end to the other. It would keep the warships here entirely on the defense.
 This condition would be obliterated by the purchase of St. Thomas. This island is at the northern end of the Ca ribbean chain, and while not very fer tile, is beautiful place to live in. Un- like others of the West India Islands, 1t is seldom visited by yellow fever or other infectious diseases. It has long chains of high hills which almost de- serve the title of mountains Its one town, Charlotte Amalia, is pictur- esque, sleepy place. Inland there are some large sugar plantations which might be made valuable property, if infused with the energy of American industry.
 The trade of the island does not amount to much, although Denmark has tried to attract it by making it a free port Duties are charged on lioth- ing, and there is not even a custom of ficer in the place. Some shrewd people have taken advantage of this to snug gle into the country articles of foreign make which have been landed at Char lotte Amalia. Vessels from St. Thomas are not watched as carefully as vessels from European ports, and smuggling is comparatively easy.
 Pilots are never engaged by the cap tains of vessels who have been in the harbor of St. Thomas before. There is absolutely no reason for the hiring or a pilot, as vessel could not be run | into dangerous place unless it was done purposely. High hills surround | the harbor, and vessels in it are com pletely sheltered.
 Seven eighths of the population are blacks, lazy and indolent. The tenn : | perature averages eighty degrees the year through and is not conducive to violent work. Sugar is the main crop of the island and some tobacco is raised
 Occasionally tidal wave, and once in awhile a cyclone visits the island, but these things only happen about once in fifty years. Altogether 1t is a pleasant place to live, for people with indolent natures but the hustling, rustling American would probably soon grow weary of it.

cONSOLLDarED ROdD.

The ProsDectivs ease ofthe New England.
 The New York Evening Post says: The introduction in the Massachusetts legislature in 9 somewhat disguised form Of the bill authorizing the New England Railroad company to lease its property, together with the fact that the controlling New Haven company de- sires to do certain things not very feas- ible except under a lease, have. created strong impression here that a lease to the latter corporation will not be long delayed. The belief is strengthened by the figures Of New England earnings for the last year, just published, which show an increase in gross of almost S700, 900 as compared with 1894. and a surplus over operation and charges of sf07,505 as compared with a deficit of SS10,566 in 1894. Terminal plans at Boston connected with the New Eng land also suggest a lease of the proper ty.
 The terms of the prospective-lea ex- cite considerable local speculation. The outstanding stock of the New Eng land company consists of .25S. .S1O shares made up of 1gS.310 common and 50. 600

preferred. Of this it is understook that the New Haven company holds about 130, ,000 shares, almost all common stock, for which in buying control it paid an average of about $40 share, or total of about $5,200,0OO This would leave outside of the New Haven holdings about l1S,S10 shares to be reckoned with, divided in uncertain proportions be- tween common and preferred stock. On the former the belief here is that the rate under 8 lease would be fixed at about 11& per cent. a year, though the present price of New England stock in the market indicates as high as per cent. If precedents in the case of the New Haven mergers of other roads pre- vail, there would also be offered the al- ternative of an exchange with New Ha- ven shares on basis of about five shares of the New England common stock for one of the New Haven, It is now regarded here as likely that high CT rate than per cent. would be offered on the New England preferred stock, which would correspond with the rate on the Northampton and Boston Air Line shares, perhaps also with an alter native of exchange with New Haven stock at a ratio of say for l.
 On the basis of last years surplus the net earnings of the New England would probably fall not much less than $200,- 900 short of paying the required divi- deuds on the minority stock in case of lease. Last years earnings, however, are illusory as basis of an estimate,
 as only within the last two or three
 months has the New Haven been in full 1 control of the road and begun it's policy
 of retrenchment in operation--which
 must largely, if not wholly, be set off for some years to come by grade-cross-
 ing and other improvements, some of them ordered by law, but not hitherto
 enforced. Under lease however, the l New Haven company, can market at a l'price probably 10 per cent. higher than
 otherwise the 5,000,0O0 of New England consolidated per cent. bonds which it
 now holds. and it gains, moreover, the
 utmost freedom in handling its new property in the direction of permanent | Improvements. Whether these advant-
 ages would offset the annual rentals on
 the minority stock is question for the
 future.
 | A remoter matter in regard to New England finances is the first mortgage
 debt of $fo,O0o000 in two sets of bonds
 due in 1905, which, refunded at 4 per
 cent. at that time, will result in saving
 of $260,000 8 year in fixed charges, This
 refunding power at a date not so very l far removed is an element enhancing
 the the value of the property progress
 sively and supplying another argument ] in favor of an early lease. Apart from
 the belief in financial circles here it is 1 known that prominent officers of the
 New Haven company have talked re-
 gently in favor of such a lease instead
 of the present form of control by na- l jority holding of New England stock.
