Delay In the Movement of West
ern Wheat and Stock,
Rush Expected To Tax the Ca.
pacities of the Roads.
DIVIDEND QUESTION
Will Have To Be Passed On by
Santa Fe Directors.
New Time Transportation Tick.
ct Has Appeared.

The rush of stock and wheat has not
yet commenced on the Santa F'e and
Rock Island roads.
Last year the rush commenced the
last of July and the extra crews were
all working by August LIST. While the
business this summer on both roads has
been satisfactory the slowness of the
movement of wheat and stock can not
be accounted for. When the rush COM
mences it is expected to tax the capac-
tiles of the roads running into Kansas
City.
The Santa F'e is we'll equipped both
for the handling of stock and wheat
and large share of the business will
be handled by that road.
The Rock Island is also we'll equipped
for the anticipated rush, and expects
to be taxed to its utmost handling
wheat from the northern counties and
from Oklahoma.

KANSAS CIrYs DEPOT.
The Reconstruction of the Union Sta
ton to Be Commenced.

Kansas City, Aug. st can now be
stated as almost a certainty that the
union depot will be reconstructed.
Since President Washburn of the
depot company has returned from Chi
cago and Boston he has been very ac-
tive in the matter and it is probable
that the contract will be awarded with
in short time. Architects Van Brunt,
Van Brunt &, Howe who designed the
plans for the reconstruction, stated,
Wednesday, that there was no doubt
in his mind that the work would begin
in a very short time and pushed to a
speedy conclusion.
1t is said that the depot company
has agreed to increase the cost of the
improvements to correspond with the
architects designs. This will make 1t
amount to considerably over $4,000.
Notices of the necessary increase in
the cost have been sent out to all the
railroads interested asking their con-
sent All so far notified have agreed
to pay the requisite additional sum,
and it is thought that none of them
will refuse. The replies will all be in
within the next two or three days.

TO PAY OR NOT TO PAY.
The Santa Fe Directors Will Have
the Dividend Problem to Solve.

Following close on the Chicago &
NOrthwestern's annual report showing
an increase in gross earnings of $5,073,-
81, comes the preliminary statement OF
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe for
the twelve months to June go 1898,
showing an increase in gross of S., $780,
45S- The mileage operated was practical
~ the same in the two years-including
the lines of the Santa F'e proper, the
Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe, Santa Fe
Pacific and Southern California rail-
ways-having been 6,936.02 miles in
1885, as against $3.50. % miles in 1897. an
increase of So "A miles. After deducting
operating expenses, taxes and rentals,
the net income from operation for the
year was S., 992, 100, or an increase of
1853, 1872. Tt is not necessary to say
that this result is something more than
satisfactory. The interest charges. for
the year are, we believe, 81, sos, 000 and
4 per cent on the adjustment bonds will
take 81, O40, 900. The net income, there
fore, will apparently leave some 81, 34O,-
900 after these requirements have been
met.
Whether any portion of this will be
used for purposes of dividends on the
stock remains to be seen, but we should
imagine that it would be a wiser ana
better course to keep whatever surplus
there may be in the treasury for con-
tinuatiOn of the policy of permanent
improvement of the property. The most
gratifying feature of the statement, in
deed is the fact that it has been made
in spite of expenditures for improve
ments which, we imagine, the detailed
figures when they are forthcoming will
show to have been extraordinary large.
There is still room for the expenditure
of large sums in the property which will
produce great returns in more econorn-
ical operation There may come years
when it will be less easy to spare money
from the earnings, if dividend paying IS
once begun, for use in betterments, and
it is more important that the property
should be brought up and kept UP to
the highest standard than that a rush
should be made to pay dividends.-Rail-

at the head of the department is very

a strong man can we'll afford to tell

SchIey and Sampson Had No Disa-

washington, Aug. S.-Secretary Long
today requested the publication of the
following cOrresp Ondence:
United States Flagship New York, First
Rate, Guantanamo Bay, July 81, 1898.
My Dear Secretary:-I am led to
write at the present time on account of
the publication of an article which ap-
peared in the papers of the 18th inst,
in which Commodore Schley is made to
say that he had stated, apparently to
the writer, that he had over and over
again declared it was possible to enter
the harbOr of Santiago, notwithstanding
the mines.
yesterday and voluntarily stated that
the publication of the article on the
18th was false in every particular; that
he not only never stated anything of
the kind, but that he had never even
thought of it; that he had always en-
tirely agreed with me on the question;
and that he did not know a single Off
Ger whose opinion differed from mine.
AS have reason to believe that Com
modOre Schley has been misrepresented
have taken the liberty to address to
you a telegram upon this subject this
morning, and as am about to sail for
the East l trust that it will receive
your attention at an early date. Very
respectfully, W. T. SAMPSON,
Rear Admiral U. S. Navy.
commandments United States

lows:

l call departments attention to an

tributing to Commodore Schley certain
opinions regarding mines. I request
that the manager of the Associated
Press be called upon to name the source
and authority for this statement.

On receipt of this telegram the de-
partment wrote the following letter to
the Associated Press:
Navy Department,
Washington, D. c., July IS, 1898.
Sir:-The New York Times and the
New York Herald, of the 18th inst,
published an Associated Press dispatch
in which certain opinions regarding
mines are attributed to Commodore
Schley. This dispatch is written in such
a manner, as to convey the impression
that it was received from your repre-
sentative with the squadron off Santi-
ago, and consequently had been censor
ed by proper naval authority.
I therefore have to request that you
inform this department at your earl-
est convenience the source and author
ity for the dispatch to which reference
is made. Very respectfully,
JOHN D. LONG, Secretary.
