ISSUED AN
OFFICIAL
WARNING

Washington, March IL - President
Roosevelt. after a conference with Sec
retary Hay. has issued the following ex-
ecutive order concerning the observance
of the proclamation recently promul-
gated In declaring the neutrality OF the
United States between Russia and Japan.
the two combatant nations in the Far
Eastern war now in progress:
An officials OF the government. civil,
military and naval are hereby directed
not only TO observe the presidents proc
lamation OF neutrality In tho pending
war between Russia and Japan, but also
to refpain from either actions or speech
which can legitimately cause Irritation
10 either OF the combatants
''The government OF the United States
represents the people OF the United
States, not only In the sincerity with
which II Is endeavoring TO keep the
scales of neutrality exact and even, but
I'm the sincerity with which II deplores
the breaking out OF the present war, and
hopes that 1t will end at the earliest
possible moment and with the smallest
possible loss to those engaged.
such a war inevitably increases and
inhames the susceptibilities OF the COM
ba:ants to anything In the nature OF an
injury or, slight by outsiders.
TOO often combatants make conflicting
claims as 10 the duties and obligations
OF neutrals, so that even when discharg-
ing these duties and obligations with
scrupulous care II Is difficult TO avoid
giving offence to one or the other party.
ITO such unavoidable causes Of offence,
due to the performance OF national duty.
there must not be added any unavoidable
causes. 1t Is always unfortunate TO bring
old world ant4pathies and 1ealousies
into our life, or by speech or conduct
TO excite anger and resentment toward
our nation In friendly foreign lands; but
i'm a government employe. whose Off
cial positios makes him in some sense
the representative OF the people, the
mischief OF such actions is greatly ia
creased
IA strong and seif-con1dent nation
should be peculiarly careful not only OF
the rights but OF the suscepubilities OF
its neighbors: and now again all OF the
nations of the world are neighbors 10 the
other. Courtesy. moderation and self-re-
straint should mark International no less
than private intercourse.
"All Nthe officials OF the government.
civil. military and naval--are expected
TO carry themselves, both In act and In
deed, as to give no cause OF just offence
g the people OF any foreign and friendly
vower, and with all mankind we are now
IN friendship.

GREAT YEAR FOR RAILROADS


was built in 1902. Most of the new
mileage represented extensions and
new branches If the extensions of the
Wabash into Pittsburg is excepted
there was no parallel railroad building
during the year. The most important
single piece of work accomplished was
the Southern Pacific 40-mile cutoff
across Great Salt Lake. This cutoff
reduce the running time between Og
den and the Pacific coast more than
two hours. Mention should also be
made of the commencement of work
on the Pennsylvania tunnel under New
York
Never in the career of railroads were
rates better maintained than in 1903.
The railroads in every section of the
country had all the traffic they could
possibly handle, and there was no in
centive to the cutting of rates At one
time 1t looked as If the entrance of
the Wabash into Pittsburg would lead
to some rate cutting among the east
ern roads. There was no open rate
cutting however, and 1t Is now gener-
ally believed that the Pennsylvania and
Wabash have settled most of their diff
| ferences.
| In the matter OF gross receipts the
railroads broke all previous records in
1903, having made an increase of some
thing like $3.50 900. 900 over the figures
of 1902. In the matter Of net earnings
however. the roads did not make quite
as favorable a showing. The increase
in wages and the increase in the cost
into operation and maintenance in
creased operating expenses heavily and
reduced net earnings.
In a financial way the Pennsylvania
far outstripped all other roads. Early
in the year it sold $75OO0000 of new
stock for $9O.OO0,0OO. This was fol-
lowed by the sale of over 100000 900
of stocks and bonds on the subsidiary
properties. This heavy borrowing by
Pennsylvania absorbed most of the
floating supply Of capital and the other
railroads later in the year found great
difficulty in borrowing money. The
congestion of securities was so great
that the other railroads were unable
to sell their bonds except at a heavy
discount. Most of the companies We're
unwilling to do this. and instead bor-
rowed on their notes running from one
to two years. In this way the Burling-
ton. the Union Pacific, the Great North
ern, the st. Louis & San Francisco and
the Lake Shore borrowed from $4,000
900 to 10000, 900 apiece. Owing to the
unfavorable monstary conditions all OF
the railroads that could postponed their
borrowing until the money market shall
have become easier
