Central, Erie. Atchison. Missouri Pa
cifc, Burlington & Quincy, and Rock
Island railways combined. Made UP
in trains of fifty cars each all the loco
motives owned by this company would
be required to haul the corn crop, if it
was necessary for it to go forward at
one time.
In addition to@this the wheat crop
is estimated at G5O.0o0.000 bushels, and
the crops CT barley. rye, cats. potatoes,
hay. and apples are reported as large
as last year. All these make increased
business for the railways.
The Railway Age recently called at
tention to the wonderful change that
has taken place in the last ten years
in the financial condition of our railway
industry. In 1893 seventy-fcur roads,
with 29,340 miles and nearly $4,000
N00.0G0 in stocks and bonds, went into
the hands OF receivers. In 1894. 1872
roads. with nearly 10000 miles of rail-
way, were in the hands of the courts.
From that time the decrease in re-
ceiverships has been steady and rapid.
The number in 1895 was 1863; in 1896,
Isl; in 1897, lbs: in 1898, 81, and in
1862 the number is only % small lines.
a%ggregating only 1910 miles. For the
first time in at least a quarter of a
century. not one railway receiver was
appointed during the first six months
OF the VEAL.
American railways have been con-
structed to develop the country, as well
as with immediate business returns in
mind. The result is a more perfect
organization of railway systems
equipped to meet the demands of a
wider field of production than is pre-
sented in any other country in the
world.

OUR RAILWAYS AND THE CROPS

The United States has. exclusive of
second and third tracks, and yards and
sidings. 1927 miles of railway. says
the Chicago Inter Ocean. The world
has. all told, less Than 100000 miles.
We not only have more miles of
railway than all the countries of Eu-
rope combined (172,e22), but, counting
second, third, and fourth tracks and
sidings, more railway mileage (265,3 6
miIes) than all other countries of the
world combined.
The superiority of the United States.
however, is not only in length of rail-
ways, but in the organization and
equipment of great railway systems
and in the business transacted. The
report of the interstate commerce COM
mission for 1901 Shows that American
railways carried in n year G07,27S,121
passengers and 1,OS9.2G6,440 tons OF
freight. This year the business in
freight will be much heavier because
of the larger crops.
1t is estimated that the corr crop
this year will measure 1900, 600, 0Ot
bushels, or more than a billion bushels
greater than last year. If one-third
Of this 2,600,G00.000 bushels Of corn is
put aside for consumption ON the farms
the railroads will be called Upon tc
transport 1,50O,000,O0o bushels.
At an average of thirty tons to the
car, this part of the corn crop to b.
transported would lead 1,547.77 boz
cars, or three and one-half times thu
number of all the freight cars belong
ing to the Pennsylvania, New Yorl

his estimates OF the expenses of the

year. He finds that the total expenses
for the year will be $77,21O. The

An impression is created by the de-
velopments in the Peter Power suit
aaginst tt Northern Pacific that
strike litigation" has of Late been
elevated to The dignity of a regular
business, says Bradstreet's. Despite
the fact that the investigation has thus
far been merely preliminary in its
scope, there is apparent confirmation
for the idea that a species of syndicate
existed for the purpose of holding
up large corporate transactions by
means of suits in the courts. To what
extent the alleged b~lackmailing of rail
road and other corporations has been
carried, and how or in what amounts
the participants in such schemes prof
tied by them, cannot be known. Mo-
is it yet evident that if the suspicious
which rest heavily upon a number OF
individuals. receive further cOnfirma-
ton that a punishment can be secured
for such offenses commensurate With
their gravity. What is most satisfac-
tory about the matter is that large cor,
porations and their arrangements have
awakened to the necessity of vigorously
combating speculative litigants instead
| of tamely submitting to such exactions
for he sake of being allowed to carry
out their financial plans without hind
rance.

500 additional cadets at Annapolis under

Mr. Wheeler 6Ky.) asked if Mr.. I'm

to which Mr.. Underwood replied that he
was, as it would open the way for any
