RAILWAYS.

The commission now engaged in investigating the books, accounts, and methods of the railroads which have received aid from the United States has sent out a circular containing fifty-eight questions. These questions cover all those matters into which Congress directed inquiry. The circulars have been sent to the leading business men along the lines of the landurant railroads and the leading shippers of the country. It requests that all persons in possession of information which might aid the commission in its work will communicate with it. The suspension order issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission in the case qf the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific Railroads has been enlarged so as to embrace the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad.
