Secretary Ickes. in Annual Report, Makes Finan-
 cial Statement

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17-Secre- tary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes, in his annual report, says the ton mage of the Alaska Railroad increased l5,702 ions during the fiscal year 1885, compared with the 1894 period due largely to freight movement into the Government colony at Matanus- ka
 In financial statement attached to the report, Secretary Ickcs said the total deficit in rail and river line operation, plus miscellaneous work during the year, dropped to $73,674, a decrease of $105 ,298, and pointed out that from this should be de- ducted $16,619 expended during the fiscal year for investigation of min eral and other resources, reducing the deficit to $57,055.'
 Secretary Ickes reported an in- crease in revenue of $126,527, making the total income from all sources $1,476,567.
 Mining Stimulated
 Secretary Ickes, in his report, says the mining industry having been stimulated during the year by the favorable gold price, may be expect ed, under the current price, to con- tinue to develop and expand during the coming year thereby increasing the tonnage of the Alaska Railroad.
 "The colonization project, which created a large amount of tonnage for the railroad during the latter part of the fiscal year, will resolve to a volume of traffic normally to be ex- pected from farming community of it's size on completion of the con- struction and development"
 The Secretary praised the work of Investigating the resources of the railroad belt and said the topograph- ic and geologic survey of the Mata- nuska bituminous coal field between Eska and Moose Creek will ultimately be of great value not only for de- velopment of private mines but will also enable the railroad to ascertain the available coal reserves in this part of the field.

DETAILS KEPT SECRET

LONDON, Dec. 17.-British dele gates to the naval conference are concerned by the signs of possible deadlock ensuing from the unre- stricted rivalry over naval construc- ton as proposed in the compromise plan for fleet tonnage and limitation. Precise provisions of the plan have been kept secret, but the best in formed sources said the adaptation of modernization, as the previous similar proposal advance in prelim- mary negotiations, was r eive d without enthusiasm.
 The British propose that each power announce and live up to a program of warship construction re- quired for national defense. Under the plan each nation could con- struct and maintain navy sufficient to assure equality and security in accordance with the varying respon- , abilities and yulnerabilities of the several powers.

 Norman H. Davis, chief United States delegate, told the Japanese that inasmuch as neither the United States nor Japan has any intention of taking the offensive against the other there is no reason for change in the existing relative power of the navies.
