Excellent Showing of Americas
Great Railroads.
1872 Roads Show an Earning
Increase of $29,9O2,S3O.
NEW SANTA FE LINE.
BurrtOn's Depot Struck by
Lightning.
Rates to Pacific Coast Likely to
Tumble.

Gross earnings of 1872 American rail-
roads for the first five months of the
present year show an increase as COM
pared with the corresponding period
of 1897, of $29, 902, $50. The aggregate
gross earnings of these roads was $224,-
761, Ill.
For the single month of May the
gross earnings of 134 roads aggregated
1854, oil, an increase of $5,744. 2O1. This
figures out $459 per mile, which is with
in l or cents of the average for the
phenomenal month Of May in 1893.
From this month on financial reports
OF American roads are expected to show
but slight increases in gross earnings
if not decreases. This will be because
the comparisons will be made with ex-
tremely favorable conditions, while
heretofore they have been made
with unfavorable reports. Earnings
for the first half of last year were ex-
tremely poor, and so far this year COM
parsons have been made with these
poor reports. During the last half of
1897, however, earnings were so phe-
nomenal that the report for the year
was one of the very best in history.
From now on comparisons must be
made with these favorable reports, and
the result will be a heavy cutting of
increases, if not their total annihiIa-
ton.

Western Lines Involved in a Serious
Struggle.

Some of the western railroads which
run through Kansas City, Omaha, st.
Joseph, Atchison, Leavenworth and
Sioux City are seriously considering the
advisa bility of making a IS passenger
rate from Chicago to Portland, Ore.
For several day5 western lines have
been in session at Chicago trying to
find some way of stopping the prevail
ing Generalization of rates and bring
ing to an end the war with the Cana
dian Pacific. Various schemes have
been presented, but none has met with
approval 1t was the feeling after the
adjournment Thursday that some of
the strong lines via the Missouri river
might take Individual action and put
into effect a IS rate from Chicago to
Portland. 1t was said, too, that the
association might authorize such a
fare, the matter resting with the execu-
tive committee.

CAUSE OF DELAY.
The Resolute Was Chased by Three
Spanish Gunboats.

Washington, June 20.-Information
was brought to Washington by parties
returning from Tampa that the reason
why Gen. Skaters expedition was halt
ed was that the Resolute, one of the
first transport sent out, was caused by
three Spanish gunboats and had a very
narrow escape. This information, they
say, had been suppressed by the censor,
but there was no doubt about it's au-
thenticity. Where the gunboats came
from is a mystery. 1t has been known
that the Spanish had number of these
small craft in the different harbors of
Cuba, but it was supposed that they
were all penned up by the blockading
SQUADRON.

wELLINGToN's PARK.
Union Depot Grounds Being Inprov-
ed and Beautihed.

Wellington, June 2O.-Work has COM
menced just east of the union depot
on what will be one of the prettiest
flower parks in southern Kansas. The
Santa Fe has decided to make a park
of what is now a mud hole. The ground
between the depot platform and the
sidewalk on Washington avenue will
be utilized. The busses and hacks will
be given places on the north side of the
depot. The park grounds will be en-
closed and planted with trees and beau
tiful flowers and will be kept green by
a liberal use of water. This is very
desirable place for a depot park the
ground affording many advantages.
