day almnlv scouestrates the old main
line from the rest of the system only so
far a accounts are concerned, so mat the
property covered by the first mortgage
hall be within easy reach of the mort
gagees.
The property covered by the first mort
gage referred to In the order is that

miles, extendinir from Omaha toOmlcn.
and no other. The other portions of the
road and branches, while under the man
agement of the sanie receivers, will have
a separate system 01 accounting, al
though they will be run by the same ex
ecutive. Before lie issued the order
Judge Hau born stated that he had
chanu-ed one clause, making future earn
ings to a certain extent liable for present
indebtedness, as be felt that too much
protection could not be given the present
receivers in me Ames caxvi. ue eiaiixi,
however, that before making any order
to pay any of the present operating in
debtedness he would always give the
plalntlfls in the foreclosure suits the
privilege of a healing.

of the Union Pacific the other. Judge
Sanborn appointed Mr. Kelly special
clerk and messenger for the court to

the clerks' ofllees of the northern d
trictof this circuit at Omaha and place
them on file. Judie Sanborn stated
after the order had been Issued that the
appointment of the new receivers in no
wle changed the manner operating the
system, but that the future surplus earn
ings of the main line would now apply
to the payment of the first mortgage
bonds.
THUBHTOH OM Til rORECLOSCBa.
Omaha, January 23. The Union Ta
rlfli! attomovs. who went to St. Louis to
assist in foreclosing the first mortgages,
return"! to day. Speaking of the suit,
Judge Thurston said:
" The situation of the property has
ri-arlml the noint where foreclosure was
inevitable. The first mortgage Interest
is in default and the system in tue nanus
f nuwlvi-n. Tha first installment of
$11,476,000 of the principal will be due
January 1, 18SH1, and there is no possi
bility of that amount being paid except
by foreclosure sale. This foreclosure ol
the first mortgage on the part of the
Union Pacific main line is really the last
foreclosure to be brought. The mort
gages on the Oregon Railway and Navi
gation Company, the Union Paoific.
Denver and Out', on all the divisions pi
the Oregon Short Line and Utah North
ern, Kansas Pacific, Denver Pacific, Kan
sas Central and several other branch
lines are already In process of foreclos
ure, and receivers have been appointed
under all of them. This foreclosure does
r not prejudice the government s interest
In any possible way. The government
into this case and foreclose
its mortgage as a second lien, or it can
foreclose uuiepenuentiy, dui aiways aw
juct to the first mortgage. The time hai
tinw mm when Comrress must eitbei
act during the present session or tht
matter will pass beyond legislation and
must be settled by the courts. I am
very glad this la so, because it win re
lieve me as Senator from the responsi
bility of legislation."

TALK WITH CARLISLE.
DI.eusaed Vlnanoe With tha Appropri
ation Couiiiillta.
Wasiiinoot!, January 21. An Im
portant meeting of the House Appropri
ations Committee was hi-Id to-day, in
which Secretary Carlisle took part at
the request of .Chairman Bayroa. The
conference was over the adoption of a
policy by which the Secretary hopes to
put Into circulation an increased volume
of silver certificates of small denomina
tions in place of tieasury notes. The
committee decided to strike from the
sundry civil bill the stipulation that for
several years has been added to the item
providing for printing treasury notes to
replace those received at the treasury.
Secretary Carlisle stated that it was his
desire to get more sliver certillcates of
small denominations into the hand of
the people, and explained that other
notes occupied the field and crowded
them out. Several members of the com
mittee led the discussion from the ques
tion of silver certificates into the by
way of finance. Sibley asked the Sec
retary what objection there would bo to
a system of redeeming notes in gold and
silver at the option of the Secretary of
the Treasury instead of the bolder, and
I me secretary answered :
" If that policy had been Inauguratr I
at the beginning of resumption, it would
' litttra im...-I.j.sI lu,(.,fl.,iiillv ami n,i tmlilila
would have arisen from it, but my pre
decessors have followed the policy of re
deeming In gold or silver at the option
of tlie liolder of paper, and any Decre
tal? who tried to change tills policy and
worked silver on a man who wanted
gold or vice versa, especially at such a
critical period as we have been passing
tnrougb, would tiave precipitated uisoa
trous results." i
WAHNKU'S TWO WMJ. '

Now Cabinet Now Being Formed.
Pakis, January 21. The election of
M. Felix Faure to the Presidency has
been well received by the Moderate press,
and Is violently criticised by the Radical
and Socialist newspapers. Pari was
very tranquil last night. The working
classes were astonished at M. Brissou's
defeat, but no demonstration waa report
ed. A meeting of Socialist took place
this evening at the Maison du Peuple, al
which resolution strongly condemning
M. Felix Faure and demanding the sup
pression of the Presidency were adopted
amid cries of "Vive la revolution soci
ale" and " Down with reaction."
General Fevrier, Grand Chancellor ol
the Legion of Honor, gave M. Faure to
day the collar of Grand Master of the
order. It was learned at 10 o'clock thil
evening that M. Bourueois after a two
hours' conference with M. Faure had
consented to try to form a Cabinet. He

The staff of the Ministry of Marine
railed noon President faure to-day, ami

honors.
NO CHANGK Or fABTT.
Washington, January 21. "The elec
tion of M. Faure," savs Jules Pntenotre,
tha French Ambassador to the United
States, " means a change in the name of
the President of France, but not a change
of political party. Al. raure was a mem
ber of the Cabinet which resigned a few
days ago, and is therefore a friend of M.
Casimir-Perier. It is not likely that
there will be a change in political policy,
as the same party to which M. Casimir
Perier belonged is still in power. It is a
fortunate thing, I think, that we do not
dplav in France in makine our political
changes. Not more than forty-eight
hours les than that in fact have
elapsed since M. Casimir-Perier tendered
bis resignation, ana nere we nave ins
successor selected. Quick action in such
cases serves to bring qniet to tlie coun
try, which is alwavs somewhat agitated
when the ollice of President is vacant
and a Ministerial crisis is at hand. What
will become of M. Casimir-Perier? He
will retire from political life, I presume.
He did not want the Presidency when It
was given him, and he is probably thank
ful to be enabled to retire."
A to the cry of "Long live the King"
uttered by the Duke of La Rochfould in
the Chamber of Deputies when M. Casimir-Perier'
letter had been read M.
Patenotre said it meant nothing. Such
cries were always to be heard at such
times, but the royalists had no power in
the administration of atlaira. J liere are
scarcely twenty-five of the royalist party
in l lie cnamoer, sam we Amoassauor.
M. Patenotre has known the new Pres
ident of France for twenty years, but
they have not seen much ol eacb other,
as the Ambassador has been absent from
his country on diplomatic service during
most ot mat time,

Tegucigalpa, Honduras, January 21.
A Guatemalan envoy, who has arrived

for a secret treaty alliance between
Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua,
primarily against Mexico, but if there is
no war with Mexico, to attack, conquer
and divide Salvador. His success is un
known. The press predicts a revolution
due to the bad state of business, finan

increasing taxation. Many people are
moving to Salvador.

HAWAIIAN UPRISING.
Charles L. Carter, On of tha Aaaaxa-
tlonl.ts, Shot to Death.
8am Fbancisco, January 21. The
steamer Alameda arrived from Auck
land and Sydney via Honolulu this after
noon, and brought new of a revolution
and bloodshed at Honolulu. Charles L.
Carter, who was one of the annexation
Commissioners, was killed and several
government supporters were wounded.
There has been much fighting, and at
least twelve native have been killed.
Nearly 200 royalists are nnder arrest.
Robert Wilcox is the leader of theiebels.
The fighting was still in progress when
the Alameda left Honolulu January 11,
but the government forces had practi
cally overcome the revolutionists. The
story of the revolution is as follows:
There were no fresh developments
in the threatened U ris-ng until Sun
day afternoon, January tl, when the
Marshal' detectives brought in news
that led that officer immediately to sum
mon the Cabinet and leading officer of
the military and Citizens' Guard for con
sultation. Iu a few minutes after their
arrival Deputy Marshal Brown and a
squad of police under Captain Parker
left for the beach at Waikiki with or
ders to search the premise of Henry
Uertelmann, a prominent royalist, for
arm and ammunition. Just previous
to reaching the place the posse was
joined by Charles L. Carter, Alfred Car
ter and J. B. Castle, who lived near by,
all members of the Citisens' Guard. On
approaching the house the Deputy Mar
shal left the squad on the lawn while he
entered the house, and finding Bertel
tnann and a strange white man there,
proceeded to read hi warrant. When
about half through shots were beard
from the rear of the house. The officer
said quickly:
"What doe that mean?"
" I know nothing about it. There are
no arms here," replied Bertelmann.
Brown rushed out to Join hi squad,
and Charles Carter shouted :
"There they are under the boatshed."
He pointed to a shed in the rear of
the lot, and rushed forward, followed by
hi cousin, Castle, and the others. At
that instant a volley waa fired by a
crowd of natives nnder the shed, and
Charles Carter and Lieutenant Holi fell,
wounded. The police charged and drove
the natives out on the beach, whence
the latter retreated to the brush, keep
ing up a desultory firing. A the police
only numbered eight, and there were
three or four times as many natives,
they returned to the house, taking with
them three of the rebels whom they had
captured in the melee, during; which
some sixty shots were fired. Taking the
wounded men also, and first caring for
them as well as possible, they searched
the prisoners, placing Bertelmann also
under arrest. The first one waa recog
nised a John Lane. He had a heavy
revolver, belt of cartridge and rifle; the
second, a pocket pistol and a belt of
cartridges. The others were unarmed,
but a short rifle waa found behind the
door, which evidently belonged to him.
As Holi says Lane was the man who
shot bim, there is no doubt that Carter's
three wounds came from Lane' pistol,
it having three empty chambers.
From statements of the natives cap
tured during the day it waa ascertained
that the captain of the little steamer
Waimanalo was responsible for the land
ing ot the arms with which the native
were supplied. The entire crew was ar
rested. The mate confessed, and when
confronted with his testimony the cap
tain also acknowledged his guilt. The
government claims to have evidence of
the whole transaction from the original
purchase until the final disposition.
During the day a large number of
prominent royalists were arrested, in
cluding the editor of the Holomua,
which paper baa suspended, the busi
ness manager being since arrested.
ROSEBERY'S LAST SPEECH.
The Position of tha Lords the Supreme
Question of the Hour.
London, January 21. Lord Rosebery
said in a speech in Cardiff this evening
that Welsh disestablishment would be
the first measure of the next Parliamen
tary session. He did not donbt that the
established Church in Wales wag
doomed, but every body must remember
that the House of lords presented a
permanent barrier to the measure on
which the Welsh had set their hearts.
The position of the Lord was the au
preme question of the hour. When the
government resolution dealing with this
question should be submitted it would
involve the dissolution of Parliament.
Before the dissolution, however, he
wished - Parliament to deal with the
liquor traffic, representation of labor
and the one-man-vote issue.
Naval Appropriation Bill.
Washington, January 21. The sub
committee of naval affair ha agreed to
report an appropriation for three battle
ships on the lines recommended by the
Secretary ot the Navy in hi last annual
report. The ship are to be about 10,
000 ton displacement.. An appropria
tion waa also reported for twelve torpedo
boats and to increase the force of en
listed men by 2,000. The bill appropri
ates from (13,000,000 to 14,000,000 more
than the lust appropriation, due to the
fact that it carries a heavy deficiency for
armor plate not provided for in the last
bill. The cost of the battle ships is lim
ited to f4,000,000, and one is to be built
on the Pacific Coast. Considering tlie
superior effectiveness of rapid-firing
guns, which was clearly demonstrated
by the Yalu river fight, the committee
has made a provision for a large number
of them. - '
' Thai Spokane Post.
Washington, January 21. The fight
made by Mitchell on the Spokane post
resulted in a compromise, he getting an
amendment which declares it is not the
purpose to abandon Vancouver or Walla
Walla. No objection was made by
friends of the Spokane post, and it went
through. The amendment will cut no
figure, for at present the War Depart
ment has no desire to abandon either of
these poets, but it will abandon those
near Spokane in time. -

P. Lord. ":
Governor William P. Lord was born
in Dover, Del., in 1838. He graduated
from college In 1800, Just as the country
was passing through the period of heated
disputes in and out of Congress destined
to terminate in the rebellion. War was
declared just as young Lord had com-
menced the study of law. Patriotism
was stronger than mere personal con
siderations, and he enlisted promptly in
the service of his country as Captain of
the First Delaware Cavalry. Through
meritorou service he was later promoted
to the rank of Major, and served with
distinction until the end of the war,
when he resumed his interrupted legal
studies. He was afterward appointed
Lieutenant of the Second Artillery and
detailed for service on the Pacific Coast.
In 1868 he resigned from the army and
commenced practicing law at Salem, Or.
In 1878 he was elected State Senator for
Marion county, and resigned to accept
the dignified poeitionof Judge of the Su
preme Court in 1880. For fourteen years
Judge Lord was universally recognized
as one of the most distinguished jurists
on the Coast. As Chief Executive of
the commonwealth of Oregon William
P. Lord will undoubtedly add new lau
rels to those which have already crowned
his life and fill the gubernatorial chair
in a manner creditable to the State
which elected him.

of Grant for three terms and County
Judge from 1882 to 1886. In 1890 the
Republican party, recognizing his ster
ling ability and purity of character,
nominated Phil Metschan for State Treas
urer, and he filled the office so success
fully that he waa renominated and re
elected in 1894 by a large majority over
his Democratic and Populist opponents.
W. II. Z.oeds.
W. H. Leeds, State Printer, waa born
in New Jereey, and is still under 40 years
of age. In 1877 Mr. Leeds moved to Ta
coma, Wash.', where he engaged in the
newspaper and printing business until
1878, when he took up a permanent
abode at Ashland, establishing tbe Ash
land Tidings, which stands to-day among
the leading journals of Southern Oregon.
Not only in that section, but throughout
tbe entire State, theTidimia has become
a household word as a strong, brainy
journal. Until his nomination for State
Printer by the Republicans in 1891 Mr.
I-eeds bad always refused to run for any
office. He is well equipped for the posi
tion to which he was elected, and will
bring the result of years of practical ex
perience to bear in the discbarge of his
duties. Through hie journal Mr. leda
has for many years been tbe mainstay
of his party in Jackson, Josephine, Lake
and Klamath counties, and his selection
for the office of State Printer by the He
publicans is only a well-deserved reward
for his work.
