RAILROAD EARNINGS.
RTruvoNp Va SAINT 4 1S

RICHMOND, VA, Sept. 4, 1897.
AS predicted by us, Railroad
Earnings have for some time
shown steady increases. Each
week brings larger gains.
1t is well to bear in mind that
from August /. 1896, until the
presidential election business
grew more and more demoralized,
and Railroad Earnings fell off
gradually.
To-day the financial atmosphere
is singularly free from clouds.
Wheat exports for the week are
almost without parallel. Tonnage
is enormous the roads are
pressed to handle their business.
Heavy orders for new cars are be-
ing placed.
Earnings, gross and net, pro-
mise to surpass the most sanguine
expectations.
London bought stocks to-day.
In the face Of increased earnings
and probable increased dividends for
eign spectators will find 1t iInpossi-
BILE to resist the temptation to buy

rency question is not settled but for

THE FRENCH CABLE.
1t Is Being Renewed-Whnt Ii to he
Done About Itf

WASHINGTON, September 6.-Ofiicials
OF the State Department and OF the At
torney-General's Office have been confer
ring recently relative to the French
cable which lands at Cape Cod The
cable was first laid. under authority given
by the President, through Secretary
Eyarts. in 1879, and recently the French
company has been replacing this line
with a new copper cable. This met with
opposition, and Senator Frye introduced
a bill to prevent the landing OF cables
without the assent OF Congress, while
Senator Nelson afterwards offered an
other bill leaving the question with the
President Neither bill passed Congress.
While they were under consideration In
the Senate Committee on Commerce. the
statement was made that II the French
cable was landed pending congressional
action q United States revenue cutter
would cut It.
Through the summer, work on the
cable has progressed steadily. and infor-
nation received here to-day indicates
that the last link Will be completed IN
mid-ocean in about ten days, although
there may be delays owing to the delicacy
OF this final operation. The steamer
Silverstone has been paying out the line
from the American coast. and the
steamer Francis Arago from the French
coast. The Silverstone has paid out
about 1900 miles from the American side,
and the Francis Arago about 900 from
Brest. This leaves about 600 miles or the
total length OF 5000. and the steamers
are gradually approaching, with the
prospect of uniting about the middle OF
the month. The American connection at
Cape Cod is said to have been completed
with the line running into mid-ocean.
The question before the State Depart
ment and the Attorney General has been
az to the right to land a cable from
foreign country. There appears TO DE
much doubt as to the law, or whether
there Is any law on the subject. The
French company has urged that the line
was renewal Of the line, and not new
line. They also pointed out, In a com
muncatlon TO the Senate Committee on
Commerce that the line was OF strate-
gic Importance TO the United States,
as IL IS said to be the only cable which
does not pass over British territory
What. if any. action the government VII!
take has not been determined, so far as
has been learned.
