mo southern Railway.

News comes from New York that. the Southern Railway Company will put out 1n issue ot bonds of rather peculiar de- scription. to be known as collatertal de- bentures. The new bonds. it is said, will be for about sis. .0oo and will be issued to take up floating debt in the form of ne and two year notes. This floating debt at the time of the last statement amounted to 1000 900. having increased $S,000,O0o in one year. and during the six months elapsed since the close of the fiscal year 1t is said to- have increased $6y000,00o more, so that now 1t must amount to about $l4.000,000.
 The management of the Southern Rail- way denies that the company has any floating debt. but evidently bases this de- niai on the assumption that the com pany' one and two year notes or cer- tiflcates of indebtedness constitute fund cd debts. The Lake. Shore Railroad Com- Relay lists similar liabilities as bills pay- 4pie. The Southern floating debt has been incurred through. the purchase of other property. lis expected that ali announce rnent of the bond issue will be made soon. Doubt is expressed as to the abil- tfy Of the company to continue to pay s per cent. on its preferred stock. In fact, 1t is reported that this dividend probably will be reduced .toaa 4 per cent rate at tf1e next dividend meeting

acclaimed his majesty frantically un-

Cuirassiers, visited the queen mother
and then returned to the palace.
Later he went to the British en-
bassy where he remained until z
O'Clock, holding a reception to the
English residents of Rome.
He then returned to the Quirinal
and dined with the king and queen.
The dinner was strictly a family re-
past. All along the thorouehfares to
the queen mothers to the embassy
and back to the Quirinal, the streets
were lined with enormous crowds
who cheered his majesty; the ovation
was continuous.
The decorations of the streets and
public buildings was on a scale of

lice force have declared that man should

In the light Of the good results that
have followed the work Of the state rail-

News advances the opinion that thenext
general assembly may venture to confer a
little more authority to the commission. I"
II the public in general has anything to
say about the matter, additional power,
and good strong measure Of It, will be
conferred on the board In its recognized
and rehabiltated condition the present
board has done wen, but it might domuch
better were it clothed with more power
and authority. For instance, the results
Of its recommendations In connection with
the Bellows Fails depot, while not all
that the people Of that town desired,
marked considerable advance. And
what is more important still It seems that
the railroads interested will take steps to
follow ont the recommendation made By
the board Now that the people Of the
state know what ii tits possible to make
out Of the railroad commission there will
be still stronger demand on the next
legislature that the powers Of the board be
increased. And the demand will be per-
fectly justified
