SOUTHERN PACIFIC BONDS.

The subscriptions to the Southern Pacific
~ per cent bonds of 1905 will open at 10 o'clock to-
day and close at o'clock. II is understood that
the applications received heavily In excess OF
the total issue Of s15.O0o.O00 100000 of which is
offered. Earnings Of the company last year
showed a surplus of 81 .253 420 above all charges.
AS the increase I'm interest charges from the new
bonds will amount only si50.oo0 the. chances OF
a dividend on the stock not injured by the
new securities. The proceeds OF the bonds will re-
imburse the company for it's capital expenditures
in the last five years including the acquisition OF
$50 miles OF railway and of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company and will furnish funds FOR further
improvements and betterments. This company is
spending large amount of money it's property
of earnings s2.7SO.iO7 in 1893 and sSSS4.7S9 in
1900 having appropriated for this purpose out
of surplus J. e. Gates secretary of the Southern
Pacific Company, who has just returned from San
Francisco, was quoted as follows yesterday:
/ find the business outlook in California very
bright Early rains have fallen IN all parts OF the
State and there are indication that the products
the soil will be bOuntiful- The rolling stock OF
the road Is in far better condition and so is the
roadbed. There has been considerable relaytng or
heavy steel rails on the Central Pacific division
this is especially noticeable. This work is being
continued and in some sections difficult 70

prOvements the Union Pacific and Chicago and
Northwestern roads. The people OF California
are friendly TO road and the attacks on the
papers. President Hays had not reached the coast
by the time left The Pacific Mail steamship
Company is doing a good business, and the pros
poets for the future are good.

FEDERAL STEEL DIVIDEND.

The Federal Steel Company will declare a divi-
dend of per cent on the common stock out of the
earnings of last year and the surplus of 1892 10 Is
also the desire of the directors place the stock
regular quarterly dividend basis of Ia per cent
in 1901, but Il is thought authority to change the
company's charter will be necessary in order 10
carry this intention. The company has the
cash hand il is said authority. to meet divt-
dend requirements and would still have good cash
surplus left after payment of 10 per cent in 1901
The present charter and bylaws provide that after
the close of the fiscal year. the Board of Directors
may pay dividends upon the common stock of the
corporation for such fiscal year" After the COM
pany's experience year ago I'm paying dividends
it's common stock. the directors are exceedingly
diffdent about making another legal mistake. As
their charter and bylaws read now, they believe
that they pay any dividend for 1901 all at one
time and that they have no prwer TO make quar-
terly dividends the common stock. To remedy
unfortunate wording OF the charter, they believe
that they must apply to tie New-Jersey Legislat-
for amendment of the charter. This they
purpose to do at the earliest date possible.

WILL REDUCE RATES.
Fire Underwriters Likely to Take
Off the Recent Increase When
New Hydrants Are Set.

4 prominent member of the Fire
Underwriters association said last
night, when asked by Tribune man
when the twenty-five per cent. in
crease i'm local insurance rates would
be taken off:
"'rhe rates were increased nearly n
year ago, after the fire underwriters
had made thorough inspection of the
CityS fire department, and had de-
Cidcd that it was not what it should
be. At that time we formulated a list
of improvements which we believed
should be made in the department. and
announced that the increase would be
taken off just as soon as the city i'm
proved it's fire department in the man
ner suggested by us.
I'VE did not expect that everything
we asked would be complied with. We
decided that a substantial compliance
would he all that would be required.
The city has already purchased a new
hook and ladder truck and a new first
class engine, as requested by us. but
one of our most important require
ments has not been complied with.
"This is the installation of large
sized fire hydrants in the central part
of the city. The new engine will be
worthless unless these hydrants are
purchased and placed at each corner
on Mulberry, Linden and Spruce
streets and Lackawanna avenue.

ELLEN COOK DISCHARGED
Young Girl Charged with Selling
Liquor Illegally Dealt Leniently
with by Magistrate Howe.

Ellen Cook, the 1j-year-old girl ar
rested on Thursday night for selling
liquors without a license at her home
on Mineral street, was discharged from
custody last night by Magistrate Howe
after several of her relatives promised
that nothing of an intoxicating nature
would be ever sold in the house again.
The young girl strenuously protested
her innocence last night and said that
she had sold no intoxicants. Lieuten-
ant of Police Feeney, who had com
mand Of the squad of policemen who
raid"d the place. had no direct evidence
to show that the girl had sold any
thing.
The warrant was for all persons
found on the place and as Ellen was
the only one in the house, she was ar
rested. The lieutenant said that a
fresh barrel of ale had been tapped
since the arrest of Ellens mother on
Wednesday night and that il stood to
reason that she must have sold as
Mrs. Cook is still in jail and there is no
other member of the family.
Magistrate Howe gave the girl a few
words of advice and warned her that
she would he dealt with severely IL
arrested again He then discharged
her
