WASHINGTON CHAT [CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE] Washington, D. C., Dec. 31. The people all over the country are evidently awakening to the fact that the government is paying exhorbitant sums annually to the railroads for the hauling of the mails, judging from the pressure that is being brought to bear on congress to investigate the cost of transportation. Strange to say, congress has very little knowledge of how the money for this purpose is spent, but it proposes to know more about the matter than it does now, since the claim is made that $4,000,000 can be saved each year. The total appropriation for the hauling of the mails is $45,000,000 annually, quite an item in the earnings of the railroads. The basis for this enormous outlay is the average daily weight of the mails, but it is declared by some representatives who have investigated the matter, that such an average is a false one and that if payment was made on a true average the saving would amount to the four millions, perhaps more. It is likely a resolution will shortly be introduced in the house calling on the postoffice department for complete and detailed information, with reference as to how the mails are weighed, where the money appropriated by congress goes, and various other phases of the subject. The railroad interests are already The United States has been using the expenses of the troops now stationed in government authorities that the present costs directly out of the Cuban Congress is keeping a close on the Cuban financial situation; the idea of curtailing expenses in that direction something more than $2,000 been spent and the drawing near when steered taken to secure a reimbursable amount. An itemized has been kept of all expenses and while the claim is pressed at present, it is being an order may shortly be the president to provide error of the island to monthly sum from the Cuban United States treasury and on this claim. It is the committee on appropriations house to square things with the Cubans and to quickly as the revenues land will permit. When the president was past summer and the chair made in and around House, the tile roofing of ing connecting the Wh proper with the executive was replaced with a concrete as smooth and level as a floor. The president said that when he wanted to take in the open air, where he It is likely a resolution will shortly be introduced in the house calling on the postoffice department for complete and detailed information, with reference as to how the mails are weighed, where the money appropriated by congress goes, and various other phases of the subject. The railroad interests are already worried over the prospects, and now have a lobby here to prevent any cut in their compensation. It is expected that early consideration will be given by the senate to the general service pension bill, if the plans of the committee on pensions go through. The bill has already been passed by the house, but parts of it did not meet with the approval of the senate, which amended it in several particulars, one amendment providing that any soldier of the civil war who has served for ninety days, has been honorably discharged, and who shall have reached the age of sixty-two years, shall receive a pension of $12 a month, to be increased to $15 a month when he shall have reached the age of seventy years, and to $20 a month after he has reached the age of seventy-five years. It is estimated that an additional appropriation of $10,714,000 annually would be required to pay increased rate provided by the bill to the soldiers now on the pension rolls. It is probable that the bill as amended will come up shortly after the Christmas recess, and if indications count for anything favorable action will result. When the bill passes, the pension office is in excellent shape to handle the details of the work promptly, which would mean that all soldiers coming under the provision of the amendment would derive benefit without delay. One by one the old landmarks around Washington are giving way to the march of progress. The latest to go, or one nearly gone, is the past summer and the chapel made in and around the House, the tile roofing of it being connecting the Whole proper with the executive was replaced with a concrete as smooth and level as a floor. The president said that when he wanted to take in the open air, where he exercised and worked out some problems that confronted him place free from the public new roof was just the third of ample size and wall coping upon which w shrubs and plants. Of late, however, there has had little chance to roof garden as it has been into a roller skating rink by sons, Archie and Quentin, their boy friends hold high each week-day after school. Not infrequently the president up on the roof to watch and apparently he enjoys it as the youngsters. He is that the skating should t on the roof instead of oncrete streets around the House, where there has all danger of accident from aund other vehicles.

One by one the old landmarks around Washington are giving way to the march of progress. The latest to go, or one nearly gone, is the old Long bridge—that famous structure across the Potomac which for years has served as the "gateway to the South." Built in 1812, it was fired by the British when they attacked the capital in 1814. During the 60's it figured in the civil war, and in '98 several companies of soldiers in the Spanish war crossed it to reach Washington from their camps in the South. When the federal troops in 1861 set out to invade Virginia they crossed the Potomac by means of this bridge, and after the battle of Bull Run they recrossed it in panic. The name of the Long bridge became nationally familiar in connection with that disaster. During recent years this bridge has been occasionally a menace to Washington, its reinforced piers choking the channel in times of flood, and its lowlying superstructure checking the outflow of ice and drift-wood. It has been replaced by two iron bridges, one for railways and the other for ordinary traffic. The old bridge is a historic relic that will not be mourned. United States has ceased payments expenses of the American now stationed in Cuba, the ment authorities deciding the present costs be paid diout of the Cuban treasury. The information given to pass by the secretary of war. Pass is keeping a close watch Cuban financial situation with a of curtailing further exin that direction. Already going more than $2,000,000 has expent and the time is near when steps will be to secure a reimbursement of amount. An itemized account on kept of all expenditures while the claim is not to be present, it is believed that may shortly be issued by president to the provisional govof the island to transfer a sum from the Cuban to the States treasury as payment claim. It is the idea of the tree on appropriations of the two square things financially the Cubans and to do it as as the revenues of the isal permit.

Taxes Lost by California The exactions of the Pullman Car company will make the next important subject of inquiry before the Interstate Commerce commission. The vast profits made by this monopoly are brought under public notice by a suit brought by the city of Chicago to recover back takes on the $27,000,000 surplus that the corporation managed to successfully conceal for years. This great accumulation is about to be distributed in the shape of a stock dividend of the par value of $24,000,000. The present stock capitalization is $74,-000,000 and the new issue adds thirty percent water. Ten years ago a similar issue of fictitious stock was made so that about one-half of the new capitalization is water. The company has paid eight percent dividends on its stock for more than thirty years. The city of Chicago sues for $5,-000,000 in back taxes. It is an interesting question whether such recovery can be had, and it is probable that a great many similar suits will be brought in other states if it is decided favorably to Chicago. For instance, the constituent companies of the Southern Pacific are on record—some of them—before the State Board of Equalization as having accumulated surplusses which in the aggregate amount to more than that summer and the changes were seen and around the White House with the executive offices, placed with a concrete roofing both and level as a hardwood. The president soon found he wanted to take a stroll open air, where he could exert work out some of the problems confronted him, and in a tree from the public gaze, the if was just the thing, as it is the size and walled in by a supon which was placed and plants. Note: The image contains multiple lines of text that are cut off at the bottom. I will provide the full content as much as possible. In the report made to the State Board of Equalization in July of the present year the accumulated surplus of the Central Pacific was given as $17,723,738, and for the Southern Pacific railroad of California the surplus was at that time $46,089,547. These vast sums have never paid a penny in taxes to any state. There are other corporations doing business here that are in similar case. For instance, there is Wells-Fargo & Co., whose surplus is known to be greater than $12,000,000. In the suit brought some time ago by stockholders for distribution of this surplus it was said to amount to $20,-000,000. It does not appear that that this money ever paid a penny in taxes. We do not know whether these moneys are taxable here or elsewhere, but the matter is certainly worth inquiry. We commend the matter to the consideration of Assessor Dodge and the State Board of Equalization.
