Preliminary Rcp.rs of Income nud
Expenditures TOR One Year.
The following from the Railroad Gazette
will be of general interest to the public
and of especial instruction TO railroad
men;
The interstate commerce commission
has issued its preliminary report OIL the
income and expenditures of the railroa IS
OF the United States for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1897. The report is signed
by w. L. Burleigh, assistant statisucian.
The similar report for the year ending
June 30, 1896, was noticed in the Railroad
Gazette Of January 20, 1897 and the totals
from the final report for that year were
published In the Railroad Gazette OF De-
cember 81, 1897. The present report re-
peats the complaint that the RAILROADS. do
not send in their statistics with the neces-
sary promptness. Only about 20 per cent
of the companies file their reports within
the time limited by the commission. The
present report includes the returns OF
operating lines which filed their annual
reports before December l, 1897, and this
pamphlet is dated December 16, 1897,
though 1t appears TO have just issued from
the governmest printing office. The mile
age reported on is 1859 miles greater than
on which the last preceding preliminary
report WAS based.
The principal totals are as follows:

BLAME FOR SENECA HORROR.
Surgeon General Sternberg Places 1t
ON SantiprO Officers

The question of fixing the responsibility
for the miserable accommodations af-
forded the American wounded who were
on the Seneca has not yet been settled at
the War Department.
Surgeon General Sternberg of the army
places the blame upon the officers at Sam
tiago, who directed that the transport
should be used as hospital ship. No re-
port has been made by them upon the
matter, and the responsibility remains
undetermined. Gen. Sternberg said:
THE person who ordered the vessel
used as a hospital ship is 10 blame for the
condition of affairs complained of upon
its arrival at New York. II is only an or
dinary quartermaster's transport and en-
tirely unfit for the reception of wounded
soldiers. The surgeon generals office had
nothing TO do with it.
Gen. Sternberg said there were only two
contract surgeons on the vessel during
the entire voyage. They have as yet made
no report.
titled Gen. Sternberg yesterday that the
Seneca would be released from quaran-
tine The letter of Mr.. Doty was dated
July q, and said in part:
There is only one case that is any way
suspicioned. The remainder are malarial
fever. If the one case referred to proves
this evening to be the same as the rest l
will release all from quarantine tomor-
row morning.
The officials at the War Department
profess to be greatly relieved by the re-
port that the yellow fever has been prac-
tically stamped out at Santiago.

ness. But reaction after a phenomenal
movement of grain causes relative loss,
which many mistake for decreased vol
ume of trade. So much grain has been
required and shipped during the past
twelve months that a decrease was in
evitable, and granger and Pacific roads
show loss in earnings, even compared
with 1892, though not much yet compared
with last year.
Owing to this the aggregate of railroad
earnings during the first half of July has
been 80 per cent larger than last year,
and e.2 per cent smaller than in 1892. Yet
the volume of business has not decreased.
Payments through clearing houses for
the past week show increase over last
year of As per cent and 1913 per cent over
1892
IN spite OF the great decline in prices,
the business done is in volume greater
than ever, and in quantities greater than
in value.
After the surrender at Santiago bare
ly a week of rest has preceded the sailing
of Porto Rico forces, but meanwhile the
Presidents proclamation opening Santa
go 10 trade on terms singularly favorable
TO inhabitants there, and the rush TO
build up business in Eastern Cuba, are
occupying the thoughts of many enter
prising firms.
with business larger than ever before, the
great manufacturers neariy all share the
gain. Prior to July the shipment OF
boots and shoes was larger than this
year, but in no other year have ship
ments in three weeks of July been as
large.
The print cloth works of Fall River
have in part combined to curtail produc-
ton, shutting down half the sp:ndIes of
that city for a month, but in the other
branches Of the cotton trade no such he
roic measures appear necessary. There
is an increased demand for wooden goods,
although in some lines slow and disap-
pointing, but the number of establish
ments at work increase. though the mills
are not yet assured or satisfactory
prices.
The iron manufacturers seem to be at
the verge OF another revolution. since
Bessemer pig is held by curtailment of
production in the Shenango and Mahor-
ing Valley at slG25 at Pittsburg, and yet
some steel works have made enormous
sales of billets.
The demand for structural forms
keeps all the works busy.
With abatement of foreign needs and
prospects Of excellent crops in many for
eign countries, wheat has declined dur
ing the week three cents in price. Corn
stlil goes abroad IN astonishing quantity.
The price has not changed in spite of the
decline in wheat
The closing of some New England mills
has doubtless affected the price of cot
ton TO some extent. and yet the crop re-
ports are sufficiently favorable TO de-
press prices an eighth during the week
without other influence. The collapse
of a strong pool to advance prices and
control the market is also reported.
Failures in two. weeks of July have
been So, ,405 $50.
