$S7.57,033, the corresponding surplus for the year ending June 3-. IW, having been J53.06 U77. The deductions from income. $451.240.027, already mentioned, comprised the following Items: Salaries and maintenance of organization, $.S.i.if'; Interest accrued on funded debt. $252,MJ,616; Interest on current liabilities, HOiJ.vtj; rents paid for lease of road, $10l.y3i.U; taxes. $4-s.:2,273; permanent improvements charged to income account, i5.5',i35; other deductions, $27, 07 4, RAILROAD TAXES. The report will contain a summary of taxes paid by railways, the gross amount and the amount per mile of line being given for each State. From this It appears that, disregarding taxes paid to the United States government under the recent Intern i!-rt tnue act and small amounts not apportioned by States, there accrued against the railways of the United States during the fiscal year in question taxes to the amount of $17.415, 133. or an average tax of $254. 75 per mile of line. In the consideration of the foregoing figures pertaining to income and expenditure it should be held In mind that annual reports of two kinds are made to the commission by railway companies. Operating reports are filed by such companies as maintain full operating accounts, and financial reports by such companies as have ltaseu their property to others for operation, thfir own Income, apart from that derived from Investments, being the annual fixed or contingent rental paid by their lessees, from which they make their own uli-bursements. In consequence, certalr. Items of income and expenditure are necessarily duplicated in comprehensive summaries which are compiled from reports of both classes. The source and extent of such duplications are clearly Indicated by the statistician. Ills report contains also an Income account of the railways of the United States, considered as a syftem. The figures In this account are such as wouK be presenter! were the railways owned by the government operations, tariffs and expenses remaining the same. They eliminate intercorporate jayments by making use, where necessary, 'of balance amounts. The total number of casualties to persons

on account of railway accidents during the year ending June 3. lftoO. was 5S.1S5. 'he aggregate number of persons-killed in conhefjuenee of railway accidents during the year was 7.SC-5, and the number Injured was 50.320.

This statement covers: Employes, killed 113, Injured 2,570; passengers, killed 34, Injured 646; other persons trespassing, killed 33S, Injured 333; not trespassing, killed 3fi. injured 227. The summaries giving the ratio of casualties show that one out of every 33t employes was killed, and one out of every 26 employes was Injured. With referonce to trainmen Including in this term englnemen, firemen, conductors and other trainmen It Is shown that one was killed for every 137 employed, and one was In jured for every 11 employed. One passenger was killed for every 2.316.64S carried, and one Injured for every 130,740 carried. Ratios based upon the num.ber of miles traveled, however, show that 64.413.SS4 passengermlles were accomplished for each passenger killed, and 3.Sv.418 passenger-miles accomplished for each passenger injured. The corresponding figures in these latter ratios for the year ending June 3i. 133. were 61,051. WO and 4.233.20a pnssenger-mlles for each passenger killed and each passenger injured, respectively.

Indeed, about contracts and royalties and things of the sort that finally his publishers made an arrangement with him which simplified his life and relieved him from the necessity of taking thought for the morrow. He agreed to let them have everything that he wrote, with a certain rtxed minimum of production. The publishers, on their side, agreed to pay him in their turn .1 definite and quite liberal annual income for the rest of his life.

OHIOAN'S READY WIT Enabled Him to Bent Tammany Con. tractors nt Their Own Game. New York Press. Two good Tammany contracts at the lowest bid will make a man's fortune. Under a former administration bids were invited for the opening of a certain cross street far up on the West Side. The city engineers had surveyed It and prepared plans which called for an excavation twenty feet deep in some places. In otners ten, and In others five. Surface Indications and the cuttings of the contiguous streets indicated plainly that the work would involve the removal of many thousand yards of solid rock and a few hundred yards of earth. The cost of earth excavation Is about 22 cents a yard, and of rock, when blasting is necessary, about (i cents, both depending largelv on the length of haul. There were nine bids at something like those figures. The tenth bid provoked considerable merriment. The contractor was an Ohloan. unknown here, but with very sound backing. He offered to remove earth for $1 a yard and solid rock for 19 cents. The engineers and experts figured out that according to their estimates of the proportions of earth and rock his bid would ave the city a handsome sum. therefore It was accepted. At the same time they felt rather sorry for the poor fool, who would surely ruin himself at such prices. Their sympathy changed to terror nnd rage when the excavation proved to be practically all earth and no rock, and the expected saving to the city turned out to be a tremendous loss, for with plows and scrapers the light roll was being removed for nearly five times what the work cojt the contractor. The customary profit is about 10 per cent., but here was a Westerner making 4o0 per cent. It happened that our Ohioan did not put In his bid until he had carefully investigated. While the city authorities were sleeping, and other contractors were figuring on the engineer's estimates, he and an assistant or two were sinking light steel rods here and there In the proposed street to teft the character of the soil. His astonishment was great when he learned there was no rock worth speaking of. but he kept his own counsel nnd bid accordingly. This man is now a millionaire railroad builder, rnd nothing gives him so good a lau?h a; the recollection of how he fooled the Tammany administration and plagued the nine Tammany bidders. The latter have never forgiven him. Good llarkets for American Grain. Baltimore Sun. One Held which should be cultivated in the interest of the American farmer 1p the islands of Cuba and Porto Rico. In those two islmds there is a population of over two million and they are absolutely dependent for bred on Imported flour. Thy can rai)e no wheat. Under Spanish rule the tariff on flour was so great that bread was out of the reach of the great mass of the people and they had to use some substiitute. At the present price of wheat bread Is one of the cheapest of all food., and with th'i removal of tariff '.axes on Hour the two Irlands should buy several million bushels of our wheat. In this country the usual estimate for the consumption of wheat is five bushels annually, or one barrel of flour to each person. An ordinary tamlly of five persons will use five barrels of flour, cr .twnty-nve buahels of wheat. In a year. In other countries probably the amount used per canlta Is not so great. Here m Maryland the harvest Is much later than Ubunl. and. the first reports of the yield ore not flattering. In the Eastern shore countries and in the southern counties of the Western shore, the crop is reported to be very short, and in Carroll county, one of the best wheat counties of the State, the yield Is paid to be below the average. In th two preat wheat counties ot Frederick and Washingtcn, howover, which usually between them produce over three million bushels, the present crop 1 reported to be very flue.

REGATTA ON SCHUYLKILL

GREAT EXPECTATIONS OF . SOME FIXE SPORT THIS WEEK. Contestants in the Events Shooting Tournament in the AVest Terre Haute Turnfeat. PHILADELPHIA. July 14. The annual regatta of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen will be held over the. rational course on the Schuylkill river, in Falrmount Park, next Friday and Saturday afternoons. The several events have hlled well, the entries Including crews from Toronto, Ont., and Winnipeg. Manitoba. The Schuylkill Navy, which is a central organization composed of nearly all the local rowing clubs, has about completed Its work of arranging for the regatta, and the entertainment of visiting oarsmen. The vanguard of the visiting contestants arrived here to-day. It consisted of Mulcahy and Kafka, the two crack men of the Ataianta Boat Club, of New York; Demourelly, of the Young Men's Gymnastic Club, New Orleans, and the NonParlel in" termediate eight of New York. The Ataianta pair are entered in the pair oared and double shell events, while Demourehy will try to beat his former club mate, Fred Titus, in the association single contest. The New Orleans man, soon atter his arrival, got into his shell and rowed over the course to familiarize himself with his surroundings. The New York men will go on the river to-morrow. Among those expected to-morrow is Ed Ten Eyck, who is entered in the senior single race. The race that is attracting most attention among the rowing men is that of the intermediate eights. The entries include the New York Athletic Club, Metropolitan and Nonpareil, of New York, Manitoba Rowing Club and the Malta, West Philadelphias and Fairmounts of this city. The out-of-town crews for this event ate reported to be very fast, and the performance of the local eights on the Fourth of July, when Malta won the Junior eightoared shell race, was so good that the coming race gives promise of being the event of the regatta. Would Confine Entries to Britain. LONDON, July 14. William II. Grenfell. M. P., who is a well-known oarsman, and a member of the Thames Conservancy Board, writes to the Times to-day announcing that he has given notice to the stewards of the Henley royal regatta of his intention to move a resolution to confine the entries to the British islands. His principal reason, he says, is that the regatta was never intended for international contests, and Is nn suited to them. TERRE HALTE T l' II NF EST.

TIED UP BY TOG. Steamers Almont I'nnhle to Move In Xew York Harbor. NEW YORK. July 14. Fog tied up the harbor to-day. The Iron steamboats on their way to Coney Island had to feel their way through the mist. One of these boats which left Pier 1, North river, at 2:43 p. m. did not reach Coney' Island until 6:13. On reaching the Narrows the pilot tound the fog so thick that he decided It would be folly to attempt to steam through It. So the boat made a clrc'.e and returned almost to Pier. 1 again. The passengers were amazed at this movement. The ship re

peated this maneuver twice, and finally by following a tug through the Narrows made Coney island. The presence of the fog to-night gave rise to startling stories that two excursion boats had gone down with all on board. Whn sifted these rumors resolved themselves Into the fact that the small excursion boat Julia, plyir.g between Canarsie and Rockaway. had eone ashore In Canarsie bay, but was floated again in two hours. No one was hurt. Another rumor was that the big excursion steamer General Slocum, with seveial hundred passengers aboard, had gone down off Norton's point. Investigation showed this story arose from the accident to the Julia and the further fact that the General Slocum was detained down the bay by the fog. Movement of Steamers. QUEENSTOWN. July 14.

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) täte to say, when approached to-day. that the inability of the conferees to agree was a most unfortunate condition and meant an immense loss not only to all concerned, but to the country generally. ARBITRATION IMPOSSIBLE. "A claim for Increased wages on the part of the working men," he said, "is a comparatively easy matter to arbitrate, for, as a rule, both sides will make some concessions: but where there is a principle Involved, as there seems to be In this case, and I take the newspapers as the authority for it, then It reaches a point where arbitration Is impossible and either one side or the other must acknowledge defeat by surrendering. "Mr. Morgan and his associates, as I understand it, are not opposed to unionism, wherever it exists, but they are opposed to taking such a step as will necessitate their nonunion employes joining the Amalgamated Association. If, in these nonunion mills, the Amalgamated Association has such a nold as it claims, then, in my judgment, it Is a very easy matter and only right that it should show its strength, and if tho majority of the emploves are in favor of organizing, possibly it would be in a better position to go before a board of arbitration and ask control of such mill or mills, but if it has not such a majority, I cannot see any Justice in Its claim. There Is but one phase of the matter which I think can be left to arbitration, so long as the present principle is Involved, and that is wnether It Is right for the steel corporation to force Its men Into an organization against their will. I think the men are arbitrary in this matter." In answer to a question Mr. King said: "Should the right become very biter and be long drawn out, I can see no earthly hope for the working men winning. They could cause much trouble, but I do not think they could ever come out victorious. What effect the strike is going to have on the independent mills I cannot say at this time. There Is but one way in which the strikers can make trouble for them, and that is to go Into the mills and organize them. This will be a difficult matter, and in consequence I think the independent mills wiil not be drawn Into the dispute, for along time at least, if at all. I can see no possible chance of a sympathetic strike upon the part of the nonunlonists." REPORTS FROM TOWNS. A report from New Castle, Pa., to-night says: "Fully 4,000 men will be affected in this city by the Amalgamated strike. Of these 2,000 are employed in the Shenango plant, 1,j0 In the Greer plant of the American Tin-plate Company, and 600 at the steel plant of the National Steel Company. The men of the latter mill were not called out by President Shaffer, but notices were posted there to-day stating that the plant will not be in operation to-morrow. The hot mills departments of both the Greer and Shenango plants will be Idle to-morrow, affecting tioo men at the former and IM) at the latter. These departments are manned exclusively by Amalgamated men. The rest of the employes of both plants are either unorganized or are affiliated with the International Protective Association of Plate Workers. Enough black plate Is now on hand at either plant to last only two weeks, when both plants will be thrown into idleness until the Amalgamated men resume work In the hot mills, which turn out black plate for the other departments to work. "The local members of the Amalgamated Association are highly pleased over the decision to strike. They will stand by President Shaffer to a man. To-morrow morning not one wheel will be turned in either the Greer or Shenango tin mills, the largest plants of the kind in the country. The men are ready for a long strike. They have been preparing for this fight for months. Newcastle is one of the strongest union cities in the country. "The tin workers who are not members of the Amalgamated also feel a vital Interest In the present situation. Local men believe this will be the greatest strike in the history of the country. They will offer no violence. At Sharon the strike will affect a comparatively small number of men, the plants here in nearly all cases being Independent and not affected by the strike order." Connellsvllle says: "The employes at the Humbert plant of the American Tin-plate Company, at South Connellsvllle, are hanging In the balance to-night. They do not know Just how the situation stands, and nre waiting for the other tin-plate plants to take the lead. The Humbert mill Is known as a nonunion mill, although both tinplate labor unions have branches established at South Connellsvllle." At Greenville some 700 men will be affected by the btrike, and the great majority arc. favorable to a holdout to the end In support of the demands of their leaders. The local mill shut down two weeks ago on account of extreme hot weather, but the men were anxious to go on If matters were adjusted. The report from New Kensington to-nlght Is: "In compliance with President Shaffer's strike order, the members of the Amalgamated Association employed by the Pittsburg and Pennsylvania Tin-plate Company at this place will not resume work to-morrow. Although the men arc disappointed that their troubles could not bo amicably nettled, they dt-cUre that they are now in better shape to withstand a long light than ever before, and no matter whit demands their leaders may make, it will be approved by the workers here. Should the strike be prolonged it will affect about O) men. What action will be taken by the tlnhouse employes is not yet known. They are not members of the Amalgamated Association and are not affected by President Shaffer's order. As there I black plate in stock to run the tinhouses for at least four weeks, they probably will resume work, but the opinion prevails that a sympathetic strike will be declared among them, as they also are strongly organized and atv deeply In sympathy with the Amalgamated Association." Coal Miner Heady to Strike. PITTSBURG, July H. The Post to-morrow will say: "Fifty thousand miners employed in the many mines of the Pittsburg district are willing to lay down their ricks, walk out of the mines and assist the Amalgamated Association of Iron fnd Steel Workers in their tight against the steel tiust. Patrick Dolan. district president of the United Mine Workers, is authority for this statement, and if ru'cess-try the miners will immediately quit work. 'I deplore this steel strike, for It will be the greatest In the history of the country,' said President Dolan, 'perhaps causing hardship for thousands. But the men ar httnding up for their rights, and the officials ef the steel trust know this better than any one else. " Order "Will He Obeyed. CAMBRIDGE. O.. July H.-The $00 men employed here at th plant of the American Tin-plate Company voted to-day to obey President Shaffer's order, and they will not work to-morrow. MAIIOMNG VALLEY .MILLS.

The works of the American Tin Plate Company will not work to-morrow, and the general sentiment of the men Is that they will hold out until tre combine grants their demands. About fcuu men will

Thomas, of the Niles Iron and Fheet Company, said to-night: "The mills wi!l resume operation? to-morrow as uual and will not be affected by the strike." This mill i. indeindent of the combination, is a strong union mill and will be watched with interest to note what effect the strike will have upon It. The works of the American Sheet Steel Company at Niles have not worked-since July 1. having been closed for repairs. , It is certain that this mill will not resume operations until an agreement has ben reached. About 1,0 men will be affected. MACHINISTS STIUKK HHUAKPVC;. Cincinnati Men Vote to Itefarn to Work This .Morning:. CINCINNATI. July 14.-The report of yesterday that the machinists nrlke was broken, was confirmed to-day when the men of the Fay-Egan shops voted to go to work to-morrow morning in a body. These men were undecided yesterday. The strike has not been declared off here, but the strikers have decided to vote by shops and in this way almost all have arranged to resume to-morrow except some of those employed heretofore by Laidlaw, Dunn & Gordon; the Cincinnati Milling Machine Company and some smaller shops. It is Intimated that the shops where the regular machinists are not to return are to be selected as the objects of the new plan of Isolated attack. r The strikers here deny the statement sent out by President" James O'Connell from Washington that the International unloa has funds to continue the contest and that assistance has been given here. . The men are both discouraged and indignant, anvl most of them favor resuming work. President John Mulholland. of the International Association of Allied Metal Mechanics, was here to-day in conference with local men concerning the machinists Ftrike, and with P. J. Conlon. of Sioux City, la., llrst vice president, who has charge of "the strike centered In Cincinnati and, vicinity. The state of affairs in Cincinnati was gone over. President Mulholland and Vice President Conlon made a Joint statement as follows: "We wish to say to the public that the machinists' and allied metal mechanics strike in Cincinnati is still on. We have simply changed our mode of conducting the plan of campaign. Wc are free to admit that were were surprised at the number of men who came out on Ma- 20. and believe the surprise was mutual on behalf of the manufacturers. Our tactics here are simply a repetition of thrse adopted by the Amalgamated Society of Engineers for the eighthour day In Great Rrltain. which ultimately proved successful. They won out, by a plaa of guerrilla warfare. 'Seventy-five jer cent, of the manufacturers over the country have granted the nine-hour day, and we have decided to change our methods and conduct a guerrilla warfare rom now on with the remaining 23 per ceut., who are and always have been opposed to organized labor. The fight will be of such a character as to insure success. We have disposed of all our 'excels baggage.' and propose to show one of the cleanest-cut tichts in the country." President Mulholland will leave to-morrow for Dayton. O., while Conlon remains here in this Meld. The latter intends staying here until the strikers either win out or lose. IROX MOL DPR .j TO STniKC.

Action taken to-nlght by Chicago members of the Iron Molders Union will result to-morrow in a general strike of the members of the trade employed in the foundries of Chicago and vicinity. In spite of the efforts of the otllcers of the International organization, the six local unions voted to refuse the terms offered by their employers. They also decided to renew their demand toi & $3-a-dnv wage to-morrow, and to strike unless their demand shall be Immediately complied with. Kighty manufacturing concerns and l,4ot members of the union will be affected. While the members of the Iron, Möhlers Union who are in tho employ of the United States Steel Corporation will bo directly affected by the strike order.

CRIMINAL LAXITY, Parole nnd Pnrilon Incentives to Itrcriulmrrnre of Crime. Kansas City Star. Public tentlmcnt. In regard to the hideous outrage on Wednesday night, of whica Miss (Jrace Davis was the victim, will not be mollified by the knowledge that one of the offenders Prank Holland is out oa parole ordered by the Criminal Court, in which he was convicted of burglary. He has been arrested frequently and is known as an habitual criminal. If he had boea dealt with according to his deserts he would rot have been in position to do harm to Ml.-s Davis eir to anybody else. The place for such vicious creatures is In prison, and crimes of the character that Frank Holland Is accused of ought to be punished by death. There Is a perpetual menace to society in the leniency which Is shown toward thups and rowdies of the i-tamp of th Vine street gang In Kansas City. The laxity of the law in dealing with these degt-nrat creature bat become a scandal In Kansas City. The courts dimply place a premium on the abominations wbln they practice.
