REPORT ON RAILWAYS.
Statistician Adams Gives Ont Figures
for Twelve Mon hs...

AOA " CIV = NAOA eAosa
Henry G. Adams, statistician of the In
terstate commerce commission, has issued
the ninth annual report of railway statis-
tics in the United States. 1t covers the
year which ended June 80, 1896.
At the date on which the report ended
there were 151 roads in the hands Of re-
ceivers, being a decrease OF Is as COM
pared with the corresponding date in the
previous year. During the year covered
in the report 4S roads were taken out of
the hands of the receivers, while 80 9TH
ers were placed in the hands of receivers.
The length of operated mileage in the
hands of receivers June 80, 1885, was 3d.
475.39 miles. The operated mileage in the
hands Of receivers June 80, 1895, was ST.
$3.50 miles. The capital stock represent
ed by the railways in the hands Of receiv-
ers June 30, 1896, was $742, 597, sos, and
the funded debt 5000, 1888, 766. These fig
ures, compared with, tn corresponding fig
ures for the previous year, show. "a de-
crease of $1S3, 075,766 in capital stock
and 1913, SCI AT in funded debt.
At the date on which the report closed
the aggregate mileage was 1872, 1868
miles, being an increase of: 2,119.16, as
compared with the previous year. This
shows a percentage increase during the
year covered by the report Of lit. The
per cent of increase for the previous year
was 100, and for the year ending June
30, 1894, it was 1.27. A comparison Of
this increase in mileage with the increase
for the years 1889 and 1890, when the
length of line was extended about 1000
and 5000 miles, respectively, enables one
to appreciate the extent to which railway
construction during the last few years has
fallen off. The statement pertains to sin
gle track mileage.
The total numberxof railway corpora
lions June 80, 1896, to be accounted for
by the statistics of railways in the United
States, was 1885. Of this number ZOOS

Rumcrs Regarding Secretary Gage
Are without Foundation.
A Washington dispatch says that Sec
rotary Gage has no intention Of resign
ing from the cabinet.
The report that he had formally tender
ed his resignation grew out of an incl
dent at the cabinet meeting last Friday.
The subject Of the Wolcott commission
was under discussion, and reference was
made to published reports that Senator
Wolcott had criticised Secretary Gage.
Suddenly the Secretary turned to the
President and remarked: IF my position
embarrasses the administration in the
smallest degree, Mr.. President, will
cheerfully resign and relieve you"
The President took occasion to reassure
Secretary Gage. The incident was not
regarded seriously by the cabinet. Moth
ing more will come of it. The Secretary
stated afterward to friends that he had
no idea his position embarrassed the Pres
ident, but he wanted to be clear on that
point. The Secretary thinks Senator
Wolcott's feelings toward him have been
