RAILWAY BUILDING PLANS.
Outlook for Increased Trackage De-
clared Unfayorable.

CHICAGO March Pillow the state and
national agitation against railroads is af-
fecting the country, from the standpoint Of
the railroad interests, is set forth in detail
in an article which will appear in the issue
of the Railway Age March %. In part, it
is as follows:
1.-THE outlook for railway building in the
United States is not as promising as it was
a year ago. There is as large mileage
projected as there was in March, 1905, but
the conditions are not as favorable.
.'The country is as prosperous as it was
twelve months ago, and the demand for the
construction of extensions into new terri
tory and for increased railway facilities Is
as great, but the campaign which has been
so mercilessly waged against the railways
has caused many of the large systems to
adopt policies Of retrenchment,- and the re-
suit is that much important work which
had been planned for the present year has
been Indefinitely postponed.
"There is no market for railway securities
except at prohibitive rates of interest and
nearly all the loans that are being made
are of temporary nature and are to pro-
vide for urgent capital needs.
"a year ago over 13 600 miles of new rail-
road were under contract, nearly one-half
of which was completed before the close Of
the year-a larger mileage than has been
built in any other single year since 1885,
'.There is almost as large mileage I'M
der contract todas, and while there will be
great activity during 1907 in pushing to
completion new lines on which the work of
construction already Is well advanced and
financial arrangements for which have been
made. the launching Of new projects, for
which the capital must be provided, in
many instances has been postponed until
conditions improve

MARYLAND FARM HANDS,
Secretary Trappe Sends Over a Lot of
FOREIGNERS

BALTIMORE, March 21.-The first lot of
farm hands who were induced to come to
this state through the efforts of the Mary
land immigration bureau landed from the
North German Lloyd steamship Cassel yes
terday. There are seventeen in the party,
all of whom We're sent over by Mr.. A. F.
Trappe, secretary of the bureau, who is
now abroad proclaiming the advantages of
this state.
The entire party are Bulgarians from
northern Turkey, strengthening and we'll
built men, but who do not understand q
word of English. Superintendent w. P.
Turpin of the state bureau was on hand
at the pier to adjust matters with the i'm
migration officials in regard to the new ar
rivals each of whom had in his possession
card from Mr.. Trappe. All paid their own
passage over and they had from 500 to $50
in cash. The men were taken in charge ,by
an official of the bureau and taken to a
German lodging house on Pratt street.
This morning they We're brought to the
rooms of the bureau, where they will be
held to await calls from farmers who need
labor. The Maryland immigration bureau
will take care Of the men until they get en-
ployment.
This is the first time in the history of this
port that foreign labor has been induced to
come to this state for the purpose OF sup
plying Maryland farms with much-needed
help. The movement was brought about by
the farmers throughout the state, who APP
pealed to the bureau for help. A plan was
devised to send Mr.. Trappe abroad to in
duce bodied farm laborers to immi-
CRATE to- this state. Mr.. Trappe is now
making a tour through Germany, Holland,
Switzerland, Denmark, England and Scot
land in the effort to induce the better class
Of farm help who are disposed to migrate
to come and till Maryland farms. The
movement is in the nature of an expert
ment.
Acting Commissioner Bertram lump
stated yesterday that all Of the men will
be subject to the existing immigration laws,
and as long as they were not contract
laborers and the state stands responsible
for them there is no violation of the United
States government laws.
In regard to the arrivals yesterday 1t Is
said that most Bulgarians are good farm
ers and gardeners, but serious handicap
is their inability to understand English. If
this trouble is overcome and the men are
contented, 1t is likely that they will write
to their friends and induce them to come to
Maryland also.
