Our National Birthday.
Wboii Responsible?
St. Louis, July 18. The republic to
morrow will publish a page article to de
monstrate that the stockholders of the
Union Pacific are liable for the debt of
the road to ,the government. A state
ment of a number of supposititious facts
is made, which the republic says, con
tain so much of plausibility, as they ap
pear on the records of the government,
that to ignore them and proceed to a
final settlement disadvantageous to the
public, without the most exhaustive
scrutiny of the rights of the government
against the stockholders, would e neg
' ligence on the part of the executive and
legislative branches of the government,
the suppositions are printed as follows:
"By the terms of the contract offered
by the United States government and
agreed to by the Union Pacific railway,
a .trusteeship was created for certain
great purposes, above and beyond which
was the mere commercial act of con
structing a highway for common car
riage; that the company built the road
for $86,000,000, and pretends that it cost
$98,000,000 accepting from the govern
ment about $38,000,000 in bonds and land
grants, when its stock was sufficient to
build and completely equip the road;
that the utockbolders did not pay cash
money into the company's treasury for
their stock, as explicitly required by the
terms of the contract and the law of
their franchise, but built the road with
the proceeds of the government subsid
ies and pocketed the stock, the first
mortgage bonds and the coal profits,
without rendering any account of these
proceeds to the government; that by
these and other acts, before the date of
the redemption of the Bubsidy bonds,
the company has become bankrupt,
meanwhile having averted the payment
of interest to the government, as origin
ally contemplated in the acts of congress ;
the government, finds itself by this
series of fraudulent acts and fraudulent
concealments deprived of the money
due it from the company, and finds
itself charged with the payment of
bonds it issued in aid of construction ;
that the government finds it has the
right of action against the stockholders,
as trustees, who who have violated their
trust, and further finds , that the
stockholders who are living, and the es
tates of those deceased, are sufficient to
readily meet the obligation created by
the trust and its gross violation."
The Republic then proceeds as fol
lows :
" Is there not enough in these state
ments to compel congress and the execu
tive to ask imperatively these questions :
Was a trusteeship created by the acts of
1862 and 1864 and their acceptance by
the company? Was the trust violated
by concealments and frauds? Does any
equity require indulgence toward these
stockholders and their beneficiaries?
Why a funding arrangement should be
concluded which will continue for a cen
tury these entanglements nntil the
powers and rights of the government to
collect its debts are exhausted?"
Split on the Tariff.
Washington, July .18. Speaker
Crisp says there will be no report frpm
the tariff conference committee today.
' The house democratic leaders evidently
think it might prove independent to
carry out the plan of reporting a total
disagreement and asking for instructions,
as such a report would only emphasize
the character of the difference, and
should the senate and house instruct
their conferees to stand by their respec
tive positions it would precipitate a
. deadlock. One of Mr. Crisp's closest ad
advisers said one report would probably
come in tomorrow. The house conferees
desire to'make a partial report of such
agreements as are possible and ask for
instructions on ii, subject to disagree
ment. The senate'eonferees have stood
for agreement or disagreement in toto.
The democratic conferees today made

another ineffectual effort to reach an
agreement, and adjourned with the un
derstanding the full committee to meet
at 2 o'clock was to report disagreement.
One of the house conferees said the re
port would be a disagreemeet in to to.
It is expected to be the first business
taken up by the house tomorrow. The
republican conferees could cause delay,
but such action is not anticipated.
Sugar, iron ore and coal were the
points that forced the total disagree
ment. , ;
The tariff conferrees decided after a
fifteen minutes' session this afternoon
to report a disagreement on the entire
bill.
To Coin Sllrer Dollars.
Philadelphia, July IS. Mr. Pres
ton, the director of the mint, today, by
direction of the secretary of the treasury,
issued orders to the mint authorities at
San Francisco and New Orleans to begin
at once the coinage of silver dollars, and
during the present month to coin up to
the Ordinary capacities of the mints.
The silver to be first coined will be
blanks and ingots, of which there is suf
ficient to coin; about $1,500,000 at these
mints and at Philadelphia. As soon
as this supply is exhausted, work will
probably begin on the silver bars, of
which there is a year's supply at San
Francisco and New Orleans, and prob
ably five years' supply at Philadelphia.
So far as can be -learned, it is not the
purpose of the government to .extend
the coinage of the seigniorage bevond a
few millions, but it is stated that, after
the coinage of what gold may be nec
essary, and coinine the abraded frac
tional silver, each of the three mints
probably will be worked at their nor
mal capacity on silver dollars for the
next few months at least, and perhaps
to the end of the present year.
Whether treasury notes will be retired
as fast as received by silver, so far as
known, has not been determined.
Tne Union Pacific.
Cheyenne, July 18. The ultimatum
has gone forth that the railway shops
on the Wyoming and Idaho divisions of
the Union Pacific, which were closed
July 2, will not be opened for general
repair work nntil business revives and
there is a demand for motive power.
The decision is a great disappointment
to hundreds of employes and will para
lyze business in all divisions towns on
the system between Cheyenne and Port
land. The men fully realize the trouble
which has been brought upon them' by
Debs and his union. Hundreds of men
will endeavor to secure employment
elsewhere, many having availed them
selves already of the free transportation
offered by officials to enable them to
reach terminal points.
Arizona and New Mexico Next.
Washington,- July 18. The senate
committee on territories today decided
to recommend the admission of Arizona
and New Mexico as states, and in
structed the committee having the bills
in charge to make a favorable report at
the next meeting of the full committee
next Wednesday. After adjournment of
the full committee the subcommittee on
New Mexico, consisting of Messrs. Black
burn, White and Shoup, met and put
the bill in shape for presentation.
The amendments made provide for a
change of dates of election and a consti
tutional convention to correspond with
the date in the Utah bill. The Arizona
subcommittee has not yet taken action.
The Federal Troop. Withdrawn From
v Chicago.
Chicago, July 18. At 8 o'clock to
night General Miles appended his signa
ture to the general order removing the
federal troops from Chicago. The in
fantry will take trains for their respec
tive posts, while the cavalry and artillery
will march to Fort Sheridan and remain
there until such time as General Miles
thinks best that they may be sent to
their posts.
Springfield, 111., July 18. Tonight
Adjutant-General Orendorff issued an
order directing the entire 22nd brigade,
Illinois state troops, and the butillion of
naval militia on duty at Chicago to pro
ceed to their homes at once. Three
thousand men remain on duty.

Revolution
In Eating
has been brought about by the
introduction of Cottolene, the
new vegetable shortening. The
discovery of this product, and the
demonstration of" its remarkable
qualities, has attracted the widest
interest. Hitherto the common
shortening has been lard, or
indifferent butter. Every one has
probably suffered occasional dis
comfort from lard-cooked food ;
while it is well known that thous
ands are obliged to abstain entire
ly from everything of that kind.
To such people, Cottolene is of
peculiar value, widening as it
does, the range of what may be
eaten and enjoyed. Cottolene
is a cooking marvel. It co7tibincs
with the food imparts to it a
tempting color, a delicate flavor,
and an appetizing crispness.
No trace of greasiness remains
to offend the taste, or disturb the
digestion.
Cottolene is worthy of the
careful notice of all those who
value good food, of itself or for
its "hygienic properties.

Asked to End This Horrible Suspense.
Chicago, July 18. The following
telegram, signed by two banks and 80 of
the leading business firms, was forward
ed to Washington this evening from
Chicago :
To the senate and house of represen
tatives : The whole country, demands
that congress terminate the pending
tariff legislation immediately. A fail
ure to dispose of the question quickly
will work incalculable loss and irrepar
able injury to financial and industrial in
terests.
Republic has Been Proclaimed in
the Hawaiian Islands..
Auckland, N. Z., July 18. Advices
received here Dy steamer from Hodolulu
show that a republic has been proclaim
ed in the Hawaiian islands Julv 4.

dent, is the first president of the new re
public. When the steamer bringing

The Democrats' Dilemma.
New Yoek, July 18. A Washington
dispatch to the Evening Post says Sena
tor Gorman is quoted by a Missouri re
presentative as saying to a group of re
presentatives: "Gentlemen, there are
two tariff measures, the McKinley law
and the senate bill. You can take your
choice." This is believed to be the
tariff situation here today.
