ditions of inadequate revenue all at tempts to finance railroad securities will be futile.
 This is the gravest danger with which railroads have been menaced in their history. They are thus not only deprived of the means to meet cur rent urgent needs in affording ade- quate service, but they are confront ed with the problems as to how they can take care of outstanding obliga-
 tions which mature in the near fu- ture.
 "A careful computation of. these ob- legations show there are upwards of $578, 100000 in default at the present time, $34,000,00 which must be met before the end of this year and S563,- I000,0o0 between now and the end of the next year. 1t is needless to say that if these obligations are not met. other industrial interests depending lon the railroads will be iniuriously affected as well as the railroads. The probabilities are that for long time to gone American securities will not fine Ia market in Europe All surplus capital of that continent will be re- quirei for some years to replace the destraction of property and to repair the !avages of war. Nor is this all, for pe shall likely have to repurchase the large share of the nearly $5.000,- GOO f10 of Oat.ican cocu,i+ino y,,b; .L are now held in Europe This will throw upon our own people the bur den of financing the railroad require mems for an indefinite period, and if the railroads are not to be driven up- on he rocks of bankruptcy and of re- teeioration, they must have the kind ly cooperation and friendship of the public and our lawmaking bodies as never before

WEATHER OUTLOOK
 IS NOT FAVORABLE E

Although today dawned bright and clear and ideal weather for the coun- ty fair is prevailing, the outlook for favorable weather for the week is not treasured, according to the gov ernment forecast issued at Washing ton last night, which predicts rainy weather over most of the east and south during the first half of the week. The rain, however, will be fol- lowed by generally fair weather and a decided fall in temperature, the bull letin states.
 The forecast for Arkansas, issued this morning, predicts unsettled weather tonight and Tuesday and lower temperature tonight.

British flag and with Chief Sam OH board
the steamship Curltyba. which will
shortly be christened the Liberia. arrived
here to-day from Norfolk and a thousand
negro followers OF the chief went wild
with joy
The Curtyba called here for the first
shipload of negroes who wish to return to
The Gold Coast country In western Africa,
where II Is hoped government and a re-
llgion after their own IDEAS will be set ND
oy the American negroes.
Chief Sam said to-day that he had come
to MAKE good with his people and that he
would sail from here with the first contin-
gent within the next few days.
II don't care 90 talk. because the press
has not treated me right" said the bis
negro. but You can say that Sam Is here
to take his followers back TO tho land OF
their origin. We haven't political social
or moral equality In America and IN our
own land will establish q government and
"A religion which will be the pride OF the
world"
Sam said that notwithstanding that
press dispatches call him faker. he has
the land In Africa, has the sanction OF the
tribal chiefs and will see that every
American negro caring TO return to his
native land is provided with lands which
VIII be his during his lifetime. He de-
clared that the lands to which he will
carry the negroes are tribal and cannot
be sold.
Chief Sam had a troublesome ;ime here
last winter when he was getting his back

from Chicago early in February with
about forty negro men and women. mostly
Oklahoma farmers, who had invested at
least $50 each and sold their worldly be-
longlngs to go TO the Cold Coast as

He housed them in the Curityba, which
he bought from the Munson Line for s65,-
600, in Erie Basin for about month
while the ship was being repaired. but IL
sailed on without them early In March
and was next reported at Portland. Me-
Meanwhile came letters from the Gold
Coast that Sam did not own the land
which he promised to distribute 20 his fol
lowers. An investigation was begun by
the British Consul-General. Sir Courtenay
Bennett. and the post office authorities
but nothing ever came of H. Sam brought
his followers to Portland, where they
were reported to shave Identified them
