Miles OF Now Track Laid.

Miles OF Now Track Laid.
Keeping pace with the general prosper
lty OF the country, railway building In
the United States during the year 1901
has exceeded that OF any previous year
since 1890, when 500 miles OF new lines
were completed, and the record for that
year might have been surpassed had the
steel mills been able to furnish the nee
essary cars,
The records of the Railway Age for
1901 show that with the returns thus far
received not less than 5,O57 miles OF track
have been laid on 1872 lines In 40 states
and territories,
with the exception of Pennsylvania
there has been little building In the East
ern and New England states, but there
has been much important work In all
other sections of the country, the great
est activity being shown IN the southwest.
The construction west OF the Mississippi
River has amounted to 3,1S7 miles, and
the states east OF the Mississippi and
south Of the Ohio have added SOL miles,
making total Of i,07S miles built in the
states south Of the Ohio and west of the
Mississippi.
Official reports to the interstate COM

THE FINANCIAL REVIEW.
United states Has Sustained Position of
Lender Of tho World.


A review OF the financial history of
the past year should make every Amerl-
cans heart thrill with pride. For IL In
1900 the United States fought It's way TO
position as the financial leader OF the
world, the last year saw this country so
fortlfy Itself In the first place that its
prc-eminence IN the financial matters OF
the world IL assured for an Indefinite per-
iod to come.
Not only was the money center OF the
world made permanent In Wall street
during tho year, but the Invasion of tho
markets OF the world by this country
that had been gathering In strength for
ten years was likewise pushed during 1901
with such success that this country may
now fairly lay claim 10 the industrial
supremacy OF the globe.
The extent OF our invasion OF foreign
markets during 1901 may be Judged from
the figures contained In the annual report
OF the Secretary Of the Treasury. Tho
foreign commerce in merchandise for the
fiscal year 1901 showed docrease OF
26 769,0l9 In imports and an Increase OF
S92 2Sl ,9O9 In exports when compared with
the preceding year. Comparing the flg-
ures OF 1901 with those Of 1891. there is a

Relations with Cuba.

The relations to exist between the
United States and Cuba were determined
at least temporarily, by the adoption Of
the Plat resolutions by congress In June
Briefly, these provide that the govern
ment Of the island shall retain its indc-
pendence Of all foreign countries, that
the United States may intervene to pre-
serve such independence, that the acts
Of the United States during the period Of
military occupancy shall be ratified, that
sanitary plans for the prevention OF cpl
denies shall be carried out and that this
country shall be permitted to buy or lease
naval or coaling stations at points to be
agreed upon.
On the 2lst Of February the constitution
as agreed to by the members OF the
Cuban convention was signed by the
members of that body, It IL based large
ly upon that OF the United States Dec
81 Gen, Tomaso Estrada Palma was
elected the first president Of cuba.
Free trade between Porto Rico and the
United States went into effect July 25, the
anniversary OF the landing OF the Amerl.
can troops on the island in 1889. Civil
government under the provisions OF tho
Foraker act was established In May, 1900

Our InsuIar Problems.

Considerable progress toward the settle
ment Of the insular problems was made,
The greater portion OF the Philippine
islands had been brought under complete
control early In the year and the capture
,of AgulnOldo by Gen, Funston March %
did q great deal to hasten the work of
pacllcatlon, On tho ith Of July civil
government was established with VIII
liam H. Taft as the first civil governor,

FIRE LOSSES WERE GREAT.
Year Has Been Worry Hard on tho In
aurnnco CompanIen.

suranco Companies.
The year has been especially hard on
the fire insurance companies, because IL
has come Immediately after another year
OF disaster. Losses were heavy In 1900,
many companies were forced to quit the
business, and those that held on did so In
the belief that the worst had been passed
and that better conditions were inevita-
Bile. Instead OF that the losses for the
year In the United States are S2O,OO00 900
greater than In 1900.
The result has been number OF rein
surances, retlrements and amalgamations
Of companies unprecedented since the
year OF the Chicago fire. when so many
companies were ruined, Fourteen stock
companies and eight mutuals have re-
tired absolutely from the field, beside a
great number OF small mutual and as
sessment companies Scores OF other
companies have retired from the West,
the South or both, or have materially re-
strictcd their writings In the sections Of
the country where they had suffered
most.
As result business men needing large
amounts of Insurance have been unable
to get II, and horde of wildcat COM
pauies and irresponsible Lloyds have been
started, to prey upon the necessities Of
the people.
The losses for the entire year are put
at Sl52 ,iit as against $3.50 OPS 900 In 1900,
and $ll9, 9,69eOOO IN 1899,
Life insurance has closed the most pros
porous year In It's history. The people
have been prosperous and have been in
vestlng their money literally In endow-
ment policies and ordinary life policies
for the benefit OF their families. 1t Is be-
lleved that the total of new business
written during the year by tho legal re-
serve companies win be $1,000 900, and
that their insurance In force will amount
to $500, 900, ,OOO. One company alone has
written over S30O,0OO000.
