Borrowing BY Railroads.


Borrowing BY Railroads.
Some OF tho leading railroad companies
Of tho United States have been credited
with borrowing 100000 on notes within
the past three months to carry them along.
but inquiry at the headquarters Of tho
companies shows that the larger part Of
this money is intended for improvements.
and that the companies are not In any DIS
tress whatever. The railroads no longer
give out contracts for construction, but do
all the building of new lines or extensions
themselves. Borrowing must accompany
this new phase Of railroad experience.
Ten years ago the system was different
A large part Of the railroad mileage was
created by speculative builders. who used
their capital and credit in the work with
the expectation OF selling out to established
systems. In this way the additions came
into the system already financed and the
purchasing company had nothing to do but
to adopt Its operating arrangements to the
enlarged plant. The practice was not an
economical one. In its earliest form cap
ital was sometimes raised that was never
disbursed for grading and rails, so that the
business got into disrepute. 1t was one Of
the most influential and direct causes of
Overcapitalization, because the builders or
spectators had no interest in the enter
prise beyond the money they could get out
of it.
With settled conditions of business and
systems undertook their own construction
and not only drove the speculatOr out of
the field, but built their additions more
efficiently and economically. with the re-
suit that the investor in either stock or
bonds had better security, seeing that it
represented new property at bottom COSTS.
But while compelled to extend their lines
the railroad companies cannot build with
out money any more than the Speculator
could. though they can build with con-
siderably less than he could. and new mile
age has to be financed. A considerable new
mileage has been added out of the surplusas
that were a direct gift OF the country 8
prosperity. but it is reasonable to conclude
that the surpluses have not been sufficient
or always available for needed additions.
and new capital has had to be raised to
pay for them. When money cannot be
raised by sale of new securities resort has
to be made to other means. and this prob
ably explains the temporary loans of the
past few months.

COMPACT KEPT SECRET.
International Agreement on Matter Of
the Wireless Telegraph.

A dispatch from Berlin yesterday says:
The first international congress of wireless
telegraphy, which opened here August 4.
adjourned today after resolving to keep
its proceedings secret for the present, and
to publish them later. 1t Is learned, how
ever. that the majority reached an agree
ment regarding the principles of the control
of international communication by wireless
telegraphy.
A semi-official statement issued regard
ing the congress renders 1t probable that
Germany will soon call a more general
conference to give final shape to the points
agreed on in the form OF a treaty.
Herr Kreatke. imperial minister OF posts
closed the proceedings today, thanking
the delegates for their faithful work and
the successful termination Of their labors.
The foreign delegates last night gave the
German representatives dinner at the
Kafserhof. Brig. Gen. A. w. Greedy Of
the American delegation presided and
Herr Kreatke occupied the seat Of honor.

A Wild-Eyed Republican

When Representative Hinshaw, of
Nebraska, reached Washington at the
opening of the session, fresh from the
state so lately redeemed from pop
ulism and whiskers, some wag armed
him with card admitting him to the
spectators gallery. This card he ex-
hibited to the doorkeepers, and, be-
ing a new member and unknown, was
promptly directed upstairs. 1t was
practically deserted when he entered,
and, as he looked down on the busy
scene. he felt aggrieved that his men,
bership card did not entitle him to
the privilege of mingling with the
members on the floor.
Say" remarked the new 1edged
representative, as he sorrowfully de-
parted from his lonely vigil, "how
long does a new member have TO be in
congress before he is entitled to the
privileges of the floor? / want to
select good seat and get to work"
Explanations and apologies followed
and Mr.. Hinshaw was soon bustling
around the chamber. His feeling Of
inconsistencies has gradually disap-
peared, but whenever he glances up
at that particular gallery he finds it
necessary to repress an involuntary
shudder as he recalls his first expert
ence in the national house. --New Yorl,
