Trains VIII Be Running Into Magic
 City by November 10.

Trains Will Be Running Into Magic City by November 15.
 Baltimore, Aug. 20.-John Skelton Williams of Richmond, Va. Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Sea board Air Line, who was in this city physical and financial condition of the company. He said in part
 The gross earnings of the Seaboard Air Line system for the twelve months ended June 30, 1904, exceeded @l3,300,- 900. The surplus earnings after the payment of operating expenses, taxes and fixed charges, including interest on bonds, interest on car trusts and rentals amounted to $500.000.
 From this balance. however. is to be deducted other interests and com missions paid during the year to syn dicates and syndicate managers which are not properly chargeable under the head of regular fixed charges.
 "The company has shown this sur plus over and above regular fixed charges notwithstanding the fact 1t was operated during tho past twelve months at a higher ratio of expenses Cover 76 per cent) than any other rail- road of equal size In the United States, as far as I have been able to observe.
 The statement sent out from New York last night that the Seaboard Air Line has made arrangements to bor- row between $70O.o0O and sS0O,O0o is misleading. The resolution of the Board of Directors referred to was a general authorization to the treasurer in the event that he should require funds, to make temporary loans. but it Is by no means certain that 1t will be necessary for him to make any such loans. The cash which the company has on hand at the present time and the cash coming into 1t within the next ninety days from the first Atlanta and Birmingham bond syndicate amount to about $l,500,000. exclusive of all other receipts of the company. The Seaboard Air Line Railway has loaned large sums of money to the Atlanta and Bir- mingham Road for construction pur- poses in advance of the issuance of the first mortgage bonds on that property, and as the track is laid and completed these bonds are being delivered to the Atlanta and Birmingham bond syndi- cate and paid for.
 Exclusive of car trusts neither the Seaboard Air Line Railway nor any of Its constituent companies have any notes or bills payable outstanding of any kind except for certain deferred payments on real estate due during the next three or four days. amounting in the aggregate to less than $I25OOC The Seaboard Air Line holds in its treasury entirely unplcdged and exclu- sive of it's own treasury preferred and common stocks, other securities worth
 from a million and half to two mill lion dollars.

 Secret Service Officer Taylor, one of the presidents personal guards, sprang from cab in which he was following the carriage of the president and seized the man before he could reach the carriage steps.
 Taylor forced him back to the side- walk, warning him not to again at- tempt to reach the president in so un- cermonious manner. What the mans object was nobody knows. The pres- ident suggested that he was "just a bit too enthusiastic"
 The President was greeted with en- thusiastic cheers by several hundred people at the Oyster Bay station. As he appeared on the rear platform of his car the President acknowledged the greeting by lifting his hat. He was escorted by Secretary Loeb and Frank c. Travers. a friend, who had accompanied him from Long Island city to his carriage. He stopped several times to exchange greetings with friends and to others expressed his pleasure at once more being at home. The station was handsomely decorated. The crowd cheered and waved flags un- til the President had started for his home. No one of the family met him at the station as 1t was not known un- til late hour just what time he might arrive. MT.
