THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
In the Administration Trying Tt
 Unload.

I
 Washington Special. When Representative John Sharp Williams, Democratic floor leader, said in the course of speech in the House several days ago that the country had | grown sick of the Philippines" the 1 idea was pooh poohed by certain Re- publicans of decided leaning toward the policy of imperialism. who, while admitting the great expense and worry incident to. the retention of the distant islands, profess to see no reason why this country should dispose of them.
 MT Williams then proceeded to show by reference to newspaper expressions and magazine articles that public sem tinent toward our far-away possess ions had set in toward the conclusion that they should be hon9rably cut loose from the United States as some thing unworthy and unprofitable. While de- lenders of the Republican policy like Grosvenor and Payne laughed, Republi- cans of the late Senator Hoars school of poiicitcal doctrine and the Demo- cratic members cheered.
 Coincident with the announcement of the apointment of Gov. Gen. Luke E. Wright of the Philippines as first American Ambassador to Japan. comes the interesting and highly significant gossip that back of the elevation of governor NTlEul io dn AmbdsSduoI- shin is a policy of President Roosevelt which will bring about a radical change in our colonial and insular connections.
 This statement is made upon a strong tntimation from a member of the for eiRn relations committee of the Senate. This authority states that by sending Governor Wright to Japan, who is fa- miliar with the situation in the Phil ipnines and the East. the President is inclined to investigate the proposition of Japan acquiring the Philippines.

Growth of Our Railroads.

Scientltic American.
 sure indication of the advancement of the people is the extent and quality
 of the provision which it makes for transportation, and there is a pretty
 close relation between the growth of that system and the advancement of the people it serves. The rapidity with which the network of railroads that now covers the United States has
 heen woven over the entire face of the
 land Is 8 subject of justifiable pride on the part of those who clearly appreciate
 what the upbuilding of that system has
 really involved in time, labor and mon.
 ey. For the most part, its growth has
 been healthy one, although there have been periods of wildcat speculation, such as that of 1882. when over Ii 900 miles were constructed in a single
 year. and again that in 1887. when
 nearly 13.00O miles were built Tn each case these years of extravag gance were followed by others of comparative stagnation, as. for instance, in the
 period from 1894 to 1897. when an aver- age of only 1,700 miles was built per annum. These years of limited con struction were marked by a steady in crease in the freight and passenger business over the roads already con structed and the low record of new construction simply proved that the were WdiLlhE AOA LAAE ll dIIlC to catch up with the over rapid construc- tion of previous years, According to the figures which have just come to hand in Poors Manual of Railroad for rhe fiscal year of 1904. there has been a decided increase in the amount of new construction over the five years preceding the amount of new road constructed having increased from A257 miles in 1908 to 5,0ii miles IT 1904, The total number of miles Of r4t.- road ua-v in operation being 2i2.549 This vast system represents to al lIa- bili5.es of over s15.000. 100000. of wh c4 FjN and a quarter billions present capital stock, and six and three qu Tt r billions represent capital sock aud bonded debt. AmoHg the assets, the cost of the railroads and their equip ment represents over eleven and a quar- ter billion dollars. During the year 715.654,951 passengers were carried, and the total number of tons of freight moved reached the enormous figure of l. 275. 321, GOT tons. The passenger earnings amounted to $45s,0e7.12s Other sources of income brought up the total trafic revenue for the year to Just finder two billion dollars. The net earning for the year were $640.- 000 900, and other receipts raised the to- tai available revenue to $72l,0O0'00O.
