LOSS FROM GRAIN DAMAGE ESTI-
i MATED VOLUME OF BUS
MESS NOTWITHSTANDING.
New York, July III The situation in
regard to Northern Pacific is getting
clearer. The damage to spring wheat
looks like about 80 per cent. This, in
the opinion of insiders, means a loss
in gross earnings of about 50 s,0Oo. 900
in the current fiscal year. The man
agement has given instructions to re-
dtlce operating cost and believes that
the saving will be enough to make
comparatively little loss in net earn
ings for the coming year. Estimates
of this kind are often over sanguine,
and the result may show decrease in
net. The company can lose half a
million dollars On net earnings without
cularly affecting the value of the
common stock. If something OF this
sort occurs 6he Northern Pacific will
be a very good trading stock during
the coming year. Decreases IN gross
will have a tendency to depress the
price. while good statements Of net
will check decline and promote recov-
cries. 1t looks now as though wise
trading in Northern Pacific might be
on theory that the price would swing
between A and 81 for some months.
A Great Northern officiai says: We
have not recently had any detailed re-
ports on the condition Of wheat in the
northwest, but our advices are gener-
ally very Favorable, and there is no
doubt whatever that the situation. has
improved very materially. The feel
ing at headquarters is much more
cheerful. There is no danger what
ever that we shall feel the damage to
the wheat crop in our tonnage. ut is
about as certain as anything can be
that in the year on which we have just
entered we shall have all the tonnage
that we can handle. Washington re-
ports are encouraging and we look for
ward to the greatest wheat crop ever
harvested in that state. In regard to
the present business of the road it is
only necessary to point out that our
earnings for June showed an increase
OF $3s36, 900 as compared with June last
year. That showing is suf1iciently re-
cent to furnish an indicati ton of present
business.

story found circulation, its accuracy is
subject to considerable doubt. More
over a dispatch was received at the
State Department this morning from
United States Minister Conger at Pc
kin containing no reference to the re-
port. 1t is regarded as incredible that
the emperor should be dead and lying
in state at Pekin without Mr.. .cngers
knowledge. The officials, however,
while ~discrediting this particular story,
lok upon it as an ill-omen for the
future of the empire, recalling the
fact that such rumors are frequently
put afoat in China by way of prepar-
ing the public for some coup.
At the Chinese legation it was said
that absolutely nothing official had
been received on the reported death
of the emperor, and the legation had
nc reason to believe the report true.

Remarkably Quick Work i'm the

Best Results Beaten.
WASHINGTON, January 29.-Sur-
geon General S~ternberg has compiled
some figures as a basis of mortality
calculations in the Spanish-American
war, which, i~ncidentlly developed the
interesting fact that the mobilization
of the army during the Spanish-Amer-
lean war was accomplished only In a
fraction Of the time required to as
semble an equivalent number OF troops
at the outbreak of the Civil war. In
May, 1861, the main strength of the
Union army was 1851, and in n
month it had increased to only $3.50.
In the first month of the Spanish
American war the United States army,
starting at 1913, 1885,, had increased be-
fore the close of the month to 202,-
SIG. This is regarded as a remark
able feat of military organization, far
