TROUBLE
CONTINUES
AT SHANGHAI

Washington. Dec. 20-Conditons result
Ing from the anti-foreign riots in Shang-
hal seem in no way improved. judging
by the advices received at the state de-
partment from Consul General Rodgers
at Shanghai
Mr.. Rodgers sent one dispatch yester-
day, i'm which he states that the disturb
ances continued with some casualties
The naval forces and volunteers OF Vari-
Gus nations were endeavoriug 20 control
the situation and 10 maintain order The
Chinese authorities were also at work
trying 10 quell the disturbances.
At the time Of the sending OF the dis
patch the cruiser Baltimore and the gun
boat Nillalobos were expected 20 arrive
soon. The city was quiet then.
1t is hoped at the state department that
there Will be no other troubles and that
the agitation will be confined TO Shanghai
alone
Dispatches received yesterday from
Canton showed no indication OF trouble
there. The officials here are awaiting
developments before taking any further
action.
The Baltimore and Nillslobos have al
ready reached Woosun and must bc I'm the
river before Shanghai by this time. over
800 marines could easily be landed by the
commander OF the Baltimore. and these
will proba bly, join with the English Jack
les who are now ashore In assisting IN the
protection OF the city.
Az far as is known here no Americans
have been injured There is no confirma-
ton OF the report that the American vice
consul at Shanghai was mobbed.

Railroad Notes.

The Boston & Maine has inaugurated
a new tourist car service from Boston to
Chicago over the Canadian Pacific. The
car passes through here every Tuesday
afternoon on the "air line" north.
The management of the Boston &
Maine railroad has recently given an
order to the Lackawanna Steel Company
for %, 900 tons of steel rails, to be deliv-
cred during April, May and June.
The financial editor of the Boston Tran
script has this interesting analysis of the
B. and Ms quarterly report ending with
Dec. 81, 1904;
Their gross earnings are $3S9,0O0
larger than in the same quarter of 1908
and $3.50, 500 of this counts as increased
| net, while lessened charges and gain in
miscellaneous revenue make the amount
earned for dividends 1927 900 greater
more than so per cent increase in balance
for dividends. For the half year $272,-
900 more was earned on stock. Dividends
on preferred and common call for $445,-
900 for the quarter; $61S,000 was earn
ed; $500, 900 tor the half year. $780,
600 was earned. The full dividends for
the year are approximately $1,7S0,000
and 100000 more than this was earn
ed in six months. It's decidedly fine
showing, the best in years and record
half years exhibit. we believe. The
quarters $61S,o00 earned on stock
comnares with S0Q1 000 in 1909 S172
900 in 1902 and 1920 500 in 1901 For
the halt year. 81 $50, 900 against 81, 619-
900 in 1908. 81 .21S 500 in 1902 and ST.
10000 in 1901. There is fine record
OF growth. The Maine made liberal ex-
penditures, operating expenses taking
70 2.3 per cent OF gross in the quarter
and 70 per cent in the hall year, but that
was saving of one and of one-half of
one per cent respectively over the proceed
ing year.
