FINANCIAL OFFER APPROVED.
President Williams of the Seaboard
Tells How the Money Will be
Spent.

Richmond, November 15.-Presi-
dent John Shelton Williams, of the
Seaboard Air Line railway system,
III returned to the city today from
New York, said tonight to an Asso-
ciated Press correspondent: The fl
nancial proposition recently made to
the Seaboard Air Line railway by
Messrs. Thomas F. Ryan and Blair
& Company, of New York, will be
acted upon by our board of directors
at their meeting on Tuesday. The
proposition meets the cordial ap-
proval Of myself and my associates,
who own a large majority interest in
the system. The money which is of
fered, If accepted, will be used to
pay off the company's floating debt,
which, by the way, is inconsidera-
BILE, amounting to scarcely more thar
one gross earnings, and also
will furnish the funds desired for
certain important plans of develop
ments, including the amount required
for the completion of the Birming-
ham line.
The funds necessary for the con-
struction of the Seaboard's new road
between Atlanta and Birmingham
were secured more than six months
ago, through the sale of $4,000, 900
Birmingham >ivision 4 per cent
bonds at IS and interest, and the ad-
ditioral funds now desired in this
connection are to be held for the
purpose of providing extensive ter
minals and equipment for the old
East & West railroad, now part of
the Atlanta & Birmingham line,
which expenditures were not covered
by the bond sale above referred to.
1.-The Seaboard Air Line Railway
is in a thoroughly sound and healthy
condition. The las annual report
shows that h floating debt of tn
company at the time of that report
was considerably less than $1,000
300. The surplus earnings of the
property for the past year were not
only largely in excess Of all inter
est, rentals and fixed charges. but
were equal to more than 4 per cent.

BEAUPRE SENDS REPORT
OF COLOMBIAN COMMITTEE

The Department Of STATE has received
from Mr.. Beaupre, urder date OF Oc-
tober 16. the text of the report of the
committee of the Colombian senate on
the project Of a law 10 confirm the dis
approval Of the treaty by the senate
and To authorize the president TO make
a new treaty. The report takes the
ground that the rejection Of the treaty
needs no approval, being a completed
act. and that. ia any case. the treaty
expired by limitation OF time on Sep
tember p IL also disapproves. and
recommends the indefinite postpOnement
OF the proposition TO authorize the Pres
ioent TO make new treaty.
The motive for this action, though not
positively asserted, IS evidently the pur-
pose entertained at Bogota TO proloug-
under dilatoTy expedients, the whole
question until next year; then TO declare
the French concession forfeited and TO
demand OF the United States the forty
millions provided IN the Spooner act.
