THE MANAGEMENT. STRICTURES QN Many Years ¢f Jlorrowing Bring the ompany to the Verge of Bank- ruptey—Queers Methods of the Burlington, Yesterdny's Chicago Herald contained the following New Yonk, Aug. 8.—There 18 nothing about the Union Pacific company today which has uot been known for months to the fow. There is agreat déal more known about it to the many. Therein consists largely the difference in the speculative position of the stock, and. it may be added, of the bonds ulso. The market the past weeek has hinged con- siderably on the movements of Union Pa- cific. It did uvot make its bad break till Thursday, but there had been free sell- ing of that and other stocks thie day before, On Friday the whole list responded to tho rebound in the pivotal stock, and today, on much reduced volume of trading, prices were steady at some concession from Friday’s Lest figures, After this flurry there may be a dull spell again. No one seems inclined to dispute the fact that the chief guestion in regard to Union Pacific is how to keep it out of the hands of a rocciver. When the real condltion of the company s made known, shortly after the publica tion of its last report, it seemed to startle the street. The sta ient was denounced in some quartors ns exaggorated and sensi tional, but_especially coudomned as vei prepared in the interests of the gr bear operator, Addison Cammack. Th ridiculous because the one only thing that investor or speculator was interested in was to know whether the statements made were true. Their truth or their falsity was something which Mr. Cammack could not possibly affect, and the company's report was given as the au- thority every ono could see for himself whetlier thoy were true or not. Of cours they wero true. It has taken but a short time to demonstrate this. The special cause of the break in the stock the past week seems to have been the demand of certain of the movey lenders for payment of their loan What prompted this sudden demaud! Possi- bly the knowledge that the earnings of the company are not turning out weli. The June statement was expected some days ago, but it has not beefl seen by the public yet. Somebody must know what it is. But one month's earnings, good or bad, is unimport- ant. Going Down Hill Many Years. The present position of the company is the result of years of downward progress. A fatal facility in borrowing has brought it where it is. Had the managers found 1t always difiicult to sell bonds, prudence aud economy would have been' forced on them. Now that the bonds cannot be sold @ combiuation of the company’s creditors with certain banking housés has becu formed to keep the company out of formal confession of baukruptey for threo years, They will advance it what money is necded during this period—*for a commission.” At the end of that period it is supposed the com- pany will have boen enabled to sell its bonds to the public. Bortowers have to pay inter- est according to their necossities and the measure of the risk taken by the lender. 1t may be imagined, therefore, that the Union Pacific will not got its_money cheaply. All this is not the sort of thing which makes a stock look liko a dosweablo nvestment. It is rather suggestiveof 'a committee of crows picking the bones of a_carcass. At the end of the three years the bones may be picked clean. S How many mote roads will require to be financed, in this fashion before tne bond market improves’ The Uvion Pacific road does not stand alone, Its represontative westorn system and the excessive buildiug of the brauch lines into unprofitavle country which has brought it low is a craze with which other companies have also been bitten, The greatest competitor of the Union Pacific, is the Burlington. The extensions of the latter have all been into the other’s territory or into_ the barren wilderness. The Burliugton s also now coufronted with the impossibility of selling more bonds. Perhaps this is for- tunate. In the way its extensions were pro- jected it secmed if " their compotitors would mark the certain bankrupiey of the company. But what is to be the fate of the wruly remarkablo lme from the widdle of Nebraska up iuto tho wilds of northern Wyoming, some 500 miles or more, or which at present is lost somewhere in that wilde ness? Is it to stop there or Ko on some more hundreds of miles, finally to emergo at Butte or Helena inMontaia and there como into_competitionwith the Umion Pacitic again or the Northern Pacific! It is no answer say thal the insiders support the stock. That does not wipe out the fatal policy which has been adily reducing the earnings of the Bur- lington compuny year by year and swelling its fixed charges,” This” will toll in the end. Union Pacific stock has had just such sup- port at many stages of its progress from above par downward, So many bull pools were formed in it, and so disastrous were they in their results, that the stock at one time became known as the “pool killer.” "It has not reachea 25 yet, but it will, although after this recent flirry it may possibiy go abovoe 40 again, if tho~ general market is vorable. Public Distrust of the Market. The fact that so many large systems of rouds are really hard up, simply because the public has become surfeited with the con- stant_streams of bonds they poured out, lurgely contributes to keep alive that feeling of distrust which makes the stock market heayy in the face of the crop news. The lat- ter is all one way and Wali street isdeluged witn aispatches piling up the estimates’ of the grain yield, each higher than the other, until figures have been reached such as tho country never heard of before. And yet, the public refuses to buy and keeps alooft from the market, Another cause of tho distrust is certainly the silver question. It is an awfully complex one, and the din of discussion 15 beard pe petually, for no two persons seem to ugree upon it, and the average man is ready to give it up as too much for him. But this very discussion und noise of debate contrib- ute'to make the inyestor and the bank man- ager distrustful, The air is filled with the clamor of _controversy. Can tho averago bank mabiger feel easy under such circumstances) Ho may not be ablo to make up his mind pue way ov tho other as to what the ultimipig results may be, but the uncertainty he isin will have the inevitable effect of making Bl cautious. He thinks that come what [infiy, when tho waters appear so troubled it 15 best to keep near shore, hence he duclines to tio up his funds and will not let ‘them go outon time, He will lend freely. only on call. He is especially disinclingd at this period to lot bis mouey; gat out of reach, for the country ' has just entered on the period* when' tho bauk reserves run down under tho western drain. During this‘month and the noxt the surplus reserve isdikely to be drawn down to the vanishing point.i It is argued that tho real strain of thejlogs of gold and the effects of the silver agitation must make itself felt between now and the next meeting of con- gress. Tho fight for freo comugo is oxpected to begio s soon a3 it meots, and with where dramed by the orop ore may bo @ great contraction of the currency if people take alarm at the prospect of the pas: of a free coinage bill aud go to hourdiug gold. 0 omont ti NSANE MAN IN AN ASVLUM, Mia House in a Rather Myst Way.

It apparently takes very little for a young man to make u hit with, when he displayes himself at a summer hotel, writes a correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, *I had a very successful ten days of it down at the Branch,” said a rvathor or- ly looking youth to friend the “Did_you strike ‘em in the old way asked the friend. ¢ was the reply, “Just bouton- niercs and trousers; nothing more, An outsider inquired what was meant this. *Caught the girls with boutonnieres and trousers, you know,” said the young man, “There is not any use of & chap with a simall income to attempt to go the full limit at & place like the Branch, Lean™s go it blind on the hotel and wardrobe both, so I study out the thing 50 usto getall Tean for my money. IPirst, I go to the cheapest possible room in a fashionable hotel. You may as well stay at _home as to go to a second- class house if you want to joinin the voul hlgh-lunml gayeties of “the place. Well, after I got my expense on board fixed then T must turn my attention to my wardrobe. Now you know what a seashore wardrobe means if you do the swell thing all through.

And what do you suppose that young lady’s first v mark was after wo were introduced She said: ‘Do you know that your trousers ure poems.” Now, I doubt very much if T ever should hav ttracted the girl if I had been careless of the quality and condition of my trousers.

The Trans-Siberian railroad has been for some years a mat of speculation and suspense, says the Age of Steel, Its practicabiltty has been at last definitely sottled, and its ultimate construction is now simply a matter of time and the solvency of the Russinn exchequer. The fmperial government has commenced this stupendous and historic enterprise. The first sod has been turned by u scion of the royal family, and all competent authorities are satisfied as to its Impor- tance In the future development of Asiatic resources. It is without a doubt Railway groat With the assistanceof | | Ry the initial of a new industrial and com- mercial chapter in Russinn progross. Its Inception may be due to political strat- egy. Gunpowdoer and glory may figure gely in the birth of the iden, and the devil in sheulder straps be the prompt- ing genius, but apart from the saltpotre husiness the fact romains the samo, that in a commereinl and industrial senso the Trans-Siberian railrond will be of valae searcely computable under prosent con- ditions. Tne immediate results on Sibe rinn prospects will bo the development | of its vast mineral resources. Somo of these are said to be of considorablo mag nitude, though delinite information is as yet seanty. The gold deposits, however, in eastern and central Siborin have, in spite of antiqua methods and difi- cultios of transport, contributed in fifty- four years about $600,000,000 to the wealth of Russin, while the Ural range and western Sioeria have boen cquaily generous, There are also vast districts | to be traversed by this road that wre eapuble of the highest ngricultural de- velopmen yablo of furnishing food, lubor, homes and wealth for the myriads | of tho pvercrowded populations of tho old world. with the consolatory fact for the future American that when the im- | portation of coreals is necessary the transport of Siberian grain to Alaskn will be a providential provision for the Amevican stomach.

The total length of this Asiatic route from the eastern slope of the U mountains to Viadivostock oo the Puacific is about four thousand seven hundred and eighty- five miles. The engincoring diflicultios are not insurmountable, and the Russian equipment in this direction is pro! equal to all emergencies. The work ha been taken in hand by the imperial au- thorities, and the government exchequer is responsible for all financial needs. The work of construction will probably octupy six or seven years. £ = FATAL HAND, A Combination in Poker Which Brings | Certain Death to the Holder. 1 was watching a game of pokor, once, at Helena, Mont, siys a writer in the Detroit Free Press. 5 W a gambler (whom I knew slightly, and who bore tho sobriquet of “Lucky Bill”), and two miner Suddenly, after the hands were dealt and the players had *‘chipped in” and drawn cards, Lucky Bill, with perfect calmness and not so much as a shadow of a change in the expression of his face, laid bis cards on the table, took a notebook from his pocket and deliber- ately wrote a few words.

Hence his sobriquet. At last there was an alteration be- tween the two miners. Hot words en- sued and revolvers were drawn.
