TO LEASE THE METROPOIIfdN
A Company Reported Formed to Take
 Over the system.

Philadelphia, Feb. 1.-The North American tomorrow will say: A new company has been formed by the Whit ney- -Widener- -Elkins- -Dolan combination to lease the Metropolitan Street railway system of New York. The new organ ization will be a securities company so formed as to permit iV to hold the stock of any corporation. Its capital will be $50, ,OO0,OO0 which may be increased as necessity arises. It is not the purpose of the new company to attempt at this time to effect a consolidation of the other two great New York systems Manhattan and Brooklyn Rapid Transit with the Metropolitan, but it is ad mitted that such a merger is ultimately hoped for. The money raised will be used to turn one hundred miles of an tiquated horse railway lines into d mod ern underground trolley system. The new securities will guarantee an an nual dividend of per cent. on the Met ropolitan stock, and shareholders of the latter have the right to subscribe to $20, 900 900 of the new capital at par to the extent of 45 per cent. of their pres ent holdings, The entire issue of capi- tai has been underwritten by Kuhn, Loeb x Co.,, of New York
 The terms of the deal were all settled on Monday at conference in New York and a formal circular of announcement is now being prepared. This will be is- sued in a few days.
 Directors living in this city decline to state the nature of the new corporation or to say who will be it's pres dent. It was asserted positively that II H. Vree- land. president of the Metropolitan, will not be the head of the new corpora tion.

LOSS OF BARGES AND CREWS.
Little Hope for the Three Which Tug
 Richmond Had in Tow.

Boston, Feb. 1.-The Boston Towboat company has received word from Bell port, L. l., that a name board bearing the last three letters of the name of the barge Antelope has come ashore among wreckage near that point. This is taken as confirming the fear that the barge was wrecked in Sunday nights storm, and that the six persons on board, in- cluding Captain Charles Miller and his wife, perished.
 New York, Feb. 1.-The tug Rich mond belongs to the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad company. Agent Will lett, of that company, says that Sun day afternoon the Richmond in com mand of Captain Mcconnell, left Lib erty Island with three barges in tow, coal-laden, each trailing behind the other. Each barge had on board three men. Besides these there were Captain Miller and his wife, who acted as cook on the barge Antelope; Captain Har- ding on the Belle of Oregon and Cap tain Rogers on the Mystic Belle, total of thirteen persons. The Antelope car ried 1910 tons of coal, the Belle of Ore gon 1,590 tons and the Mystic Belle LOSS tons.
 Agent Willett was in telephonic com munication this afternoon with Captain Mcconnell, who had reached Newport. The captain said the tug and the barges were well out to sea a o'clock and their position was off the Long Island coast The wind increased, and at few minutes past the rope from the forward barge to the tug parted. Cap tain Mcconnell put the tug about and tried to get line to one of them, but the wind was too strong and the barges were blown further and further away from the tug. Captain Mcconnell did not give up the hope of rescuing the men on the barges until it became too dark for him to distinguish them. The tug then made for Newport with all possible speed. Captain Mcconnell told Agent Willett that he thought all the barges and those aboard of them had been lost.

ON FINANCIAL LEGISLATION
SECRETAR SHAW'S FIRST COM NAVIGATION ON THE SUBJECE
The Deposit of Government Surplus Would Increase Credit Accom- m oda-
 tions to the People in the Sum of S2O0, 0,OOO, ,OO0-A Great Source of Reve-

l Washington, Feb 3. - Secretary Shaw's first communication on finan- cial legislation is contained in a letter to Representative Sulzer of New York concerning the latter's bill to deposit government funds at interest in nation al banks throughout the country The letter says.
 'I find on my desk awaiting my ar- rival your letter of January r referring to house joint resolution 112, and ask ing Information as to the amount of interest which the government would have realized had the proposed law been adopted as part of the national banking law
 If the surplus money in excess Of $50, ,O00, 900 working capital had been de- posted in clearing house cities in pro- portion to the relative capital of each bank therein, with no other security than a prior lien upon the banks as- sets the government would have lost nothing, and if the government had realized per cent. upon the funds so deposited it would have received $32,- 900. 900.
 Aided in this way the banks refer red to would have been able to increase credit accommodations to the people in the sum of $200, ,000,0OO
 This computation was made at the instance of my predecessor Gone year ago) and was based upon quarterly rather than daily balances.
 q think some provision for the de- ,posit of surplus funds belonging to the limited States government with na- tional banks upon security other than government bonds would be wise, though I doubt the limitations as to the amount of capital and surplus contain ed in the bill. I also question the wis dom of mandatory provisions of law. On the contrary, I think there should generally be fair latitude of discre- ton. Authority to act in given line is generally sufficient.

IMPROVElT ENT IN JAMAICA.
A Surplus shown for First Time in
 Many Years.

Kingston, Jamaica, Feb 4.-At the opening of the colonial legislature to- day the governor of Jamaica, Sir Au- gustus Hemming, announced, for the first time in many years, a slight sur plus in the transactions of the year. This statement that the financial con- dition of the island was improving has been received with general satisfaction. The improvement in question is due in great measure to the growth of the fruit trade between Jamaica and the United States and England. Sir Au- gustus Hemming has announced that a measure will be introduced in the legis- lature to assist Jamaican planters in the resuscitation of the sugar industry.
