'Wiai-'h tag-ton, Dec. 9.—The interstate commerce commission htrs Just issued u. ‘preliminary report on tthe income and expenditure® of railway* in tihe United States for tihe year ending June 30, 1891, prepared toy its steltlstioUn. The report contains the returns from 670 operating companies whose reports •were Hied on or before November 23, 1894, and covers the operations of 149,- 669.21 miles of line, or atoout 85 per cent of the total operated mileage In •the United States. The gross opera tions of the 149,559.21 miles of lines represented were $949,639,075, of wihfich $309,137,142 were from passonger ser vice; $617,-958,498 were from freight ser vice and $22,420,298 were other earn ings from operation, covering receipts from telegraph, use of cars, switch ing charges, etc. The operating ex penses were $643,428,331, leaving net eannfngs of $306,210,744. Reduced to a mileage baste tihe earnings from -pass enger service were $2,068 per mile of iln; from freight srvice, $4,132; total gross earnings $6,350; operating ex penses $4,302, and net earnings $2,048. A comparison of these items v/it'n sim ilar -results from the complete report of the previous yean* shows a decrease per -mile of net earnlugs from passen ger service of $53; in earnings from freight service of $774; in total gross earnings of $840; in operating expenses of $574 artd in net earnings of $200. The number of passengers carried was 535,285,446; passengers carried one mile, 12,- 889,936,578. The number of tons carried was 671,955,942; tons carried one mile, 70,- 426,42-1,965. In order to show the volume of traffic for all the railways these fig ures sould be Increased 14 or 15 per cent. To compare the density of traffic with tho previous year these figures are e- duccd to a mileage basis, which shows the numbo of passengers carried one mile per mile of line to be 86,253, as compared with 83,809 in 1893. That there has been an Increase in passenger traffic regardless of tho commercial depresslo is due to tho unusual amount of travel in July, August, September and October, 1893, ow ing to tho World’s Fair. Tho number of tons carried one mile per mile of line was 470,893, as comp-aredi with 558.232 for 1893. These figures allow the decrease in the volume of freight traffic occasioned by the demoralization of -these through out tho country. The net earnings available for the pay ment of fixed charges ar.d dividends whs $306,210,744, as against $350,766,607 for the same roads for the previous year, a de crease of $44,555,863. It is probable that tho decrease in net earnings of all rail ways will exceed $50,000,000. The dividends paid were $62,464,961, as -compared with 60,461,130 for 1893. After tho deduction of dividends it is found that there is a de ficit of $28,032,621. This fact shows that a • part of the dividends were either paid out of the accumulated surplus of past years or that teir payment necessitated an increase in the current indebtedness; The report also shows tho average re ceipts per passenger per mile for the year ending June 30, 1894, covering the mileage ’ represented. Regardless of tho decrease in traffic, there has been a de cline in rates during the year, the av erage receipts per passenger per mile being 1.976 cents, as compared with 2.108 cents in 1893, and the average receipts per ton per mile .866, as compared with .878 In 1893.

In the house, although Mr. Patterson (Democrat) of Tennessee, in charge of the railroad pooling bill, has given notice that he will ask the house to vote upon Its passage - Tuesday afternoon, the fate of the bill primarily depends upon tho action of the appropriation committee. If the urgent deficiency bill, which the committee is now working upon, shall be ready to report to the house when It meets on Tuesday Chairman Sayres says he will present It then and urge Imme diate consideration. It is believed that such a request will bo seconded by tho house.and the pooling bill will be laid aside. But If the appropriation bill shall not be ready, a vole on the pooling bill may be taken Tuesday, and .the general opinion is that it will pass/ possibly so amended as to give the Interstate com merce commission final Jurisdiction of the proposed contracts between companies Tomorrow, under the rules, la to be de voted to the consideration of affairs of the District of Columbia, and unless the rules are suspended, as they frequently have been on like occasions, local legis lation for Washington .city will bo token up. Mr. O’Neill (Democrat) of Massachu setts has announced his intention to call up Wednesday the pension appropriation bill for 1896-96.

In* that it will meet the antagonism of Mr. Bfown (Democrat) of Indiana, chairman of the committee on elections, who will Thursday ask consideration of the Wil- llams-Settle contested election caso from the Fifth North Carolina district, which “cErne Over toy sgreomeiit from*-lest ses sion. The committee's report favors th< sitting member, Settle, who Is a Republi can. * Contested election cases are mat ters of highest privilege and it nas been the custom of the house to take them up when called for by, the committee, so that if the pension bill is not previously deposed of it will probably have to yield the right of way for the time being. “11 KILLED III.

Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 9.—Still an other confession has boen made In the Catherine Glng murer case. It has been the theory of the police that C. A. Bllxt, the engineer or the Ozark flats, where both Miss Glng and Hayward resided, committed the murder at the instigation of Hayward. Today Blixt broko down and made a complete confesslorMn which he charges Harry Haywward with com mitting the murder. According to his story, he was sent by Hayward to the scene of the murder. Hardly had he ar rived there when Hayward drove up with Miss Glng. When within fifty feet of him the shots were fired and Hayward alighted from the buggy. “The deed is done,” he said. "Get in and drive it around until It is dead and then dump It out.” Blixt took Hayward’s place in the bug gy and drove along the road for*- mllo until he became satisfied that Miss Glng was dead. Then he drove back, and when near the place whore the murder was committed ho rolled the body in tho robe and drove the horse about a mile until he reached the Lyndale avenuo car line. Then hd turned tho animal loose and rode in a car down town, Tho horse went directly to the stable and this was the first intimation any one received that anything was wrong. The murder, ac cording to,-BHxt. was committed shortly after 7 o’clock, and as soon ns he got into the buggy Hayward walked to the Hennepin avenue car line and then took tho daughter of a prominent lawyer to tho theatre. , ■Blixt claims that the murder was orig inally fixed for the preceding Sunday night, but circumstances were touch that it had to be abandoned. Hayward was to “slug" Miss Glng with a piece of rail road Iron which Blixt had provided, the body was to have been thrown out near the curb at a street corner, the horse turned loose and the buggy wrecked for the purposo of giving color to the theory that the woman was killed in a runaway accident. This plan, so Blixt says, could not be carried out successfully and it was decided to shoot her. Blixt tells of several other Jobs ftrhlch had been proposed by Hayward, hut which fell through, and says that after this Job. for which he was to receive $2,000 and one-fifth of the life Insurance Involved, he was to receivo $400 for * “doing" a Chicago man. Ole Erickson, who took the bundle of clothes to Iowa Falls, Is believed to have been a dupe, and U Is believed he will be released tomprrow. “MY DEAR WIFE, GOOD-BYE.” And Burns Slashed His Throat With a Razor. Mobile, Dec. 9.—S. D. Burns, about 50 years of age, a commercial traveling man for the tea and spice firm of Forbes Bros. & Co. of St. Louis, committed suicide In hjs room in the Windsor hotel in this city some time yesterday afternoon by cut ting his throat with a razor. Tho body was discovered lying on the floor of the room about 6 o’clock In the afternoon by a bell boy who went to announce sup per, but for reasons best known to the hotel people, the fact of the Bulclde was kept a secret from the police authorities and the publlo until today. After the discovery of the body the coroner was notified and at midnight last night tho body, wrapped in a sheet, was quietly re moved to an undertaking establishment. Burns has been in the city for about three weeks and at times appeared despond ent. From letters found in his effects it develops that he was In straightened circumstances and that his wife is slowly dying of consumption fn St. 'Louis. He. left a letter to his firm enclosing another td his wife, which reads: “Oh, My God! My Dear Wife: My heart is broken, at tho thought of leaving you, but I know it is not for long. Tho Ulsease which is killing you will reunite us shortly. Oh, my God! Good-bye.” His baggage consisted of samples, clothing and correspondence, mainly from his wife. A telegram to coroner from the St. Louis firm states that the dead man’s friends have been notified and they ■will advise as t.o tho disposition of the body, but up to a late hour tonight noth ing has been heard from them.
