PACIFIC ROADS' DEBT
Report From the Senate
Railroad Committee.
NO DIRECT RECOMMENDATION MADE
It, However, Urges the Importance of
Taking Up the Question of Pacific-Road
Indebtedness.
Washington, Jan. 28. Senator Brice,
chairman of the senate committee on
railroads, today presented a report from
that committee . concerning the Pacific
railroads. The report is not based on
any bill before congress, and is intended
imply to supply the senate with all the
information attainable on the indebted
ness of Pacific railroads, together with
a brief sketch of the history of both the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific sys
tems. The part of the report devoted
to the Pacific railroads deals with the
charter and legislation of the roads em
braced in the systems, their indebted
ness, assets aad earnings. The report
makes no direct recommendations, bat
urges the importance of taking up the
question of. Pacific roads indebtedness.
After discussing various measures of
making secure the government indebt
edness on the Union Pacific, the report
says:
"Another course seems to have been
left open by the government under the
sixth section of the act of 1862, which
provided that the grants were made
upon the condition that the company
should pay the subsidy bonds at matur
ity. This is a condition subsequent and
for a breach of the same, the United
States may, at; the maturity Cf, the debt,
proceed to forfeit the charter of the com
pany - and wind up its business tftrough
a receiver,' and. take its chances for a re
covery of whatever portion of the debt
it may be able to obtain. .' From what
we have said above we ihink it sure
that the amount would be very small
indeed. It. ia. a question, however, on
the whole, if it might not be the best
thing under the' circumstances to do.
Your commltle, however, .does not wish
to be understood as recommending this
measure of relief, but merely suggests it
as an alternative, in case other remedies,
believed now to be better, should fail."
Positive ground is taken against the
government's foreclosing the liens and
operating the roads. To this plan the
report says there are many grave objec
tions, and adds :
"No considerable number of citizens
of the United States, certainly not a
majority, have ever declared for govern
ment control of railroads,' and fewer yet
have ever seriously entertained the idea
that the government should enter the
field of railroading as the owner and
operator of but "One transcontinental
line of railroad, and thus come in com
petition with, other- transcontinental
lines -operated by private' individuals.
Besides the main' line ot ' the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific (which were
entered by congress to make and consti
tute one transcontinental ' line), there
are now, in the United States, four other
lines ' reaching from the ' Mississippi
river to the Pacific ocean, and having
their' connections with Eastern trunk
lines. ' We think it clear, beyond ques
tion, that, as a financial investment, the
operation of bond-aided Pacific roads by
the government would be a flat failure.
And we are abundantly satisfied that on
the question of governmental policy it
would, at present - and under existing
circumstances, be. unwise, and would be
fraught with oerious consequences to the
republic, and with results far-reaching
and in the end injurious."
Incase of the failure of these plans,
the committee suggests that the only al
ternative would seem to be to refund the
Union Pacific debt for a considerable
Highest of all in Leavening Powers Latest U.S. Gov't Report
IXh. En - , s-
period of time, at the rate of interest
commensurate with the earning capa
city of the road. It then continues :
"This is the plan which has the most
favor with financiers and those who have
given this subject much attention."
As to the period for which the debt
should be extended, and with respect to
the rate of interest, no special recom
mendation is made, the report saying :
"That will be a matter for future ad
justment, when the details of the plan
shall be more fully developed. At pres
ent our recommendations will " ?e con
fined generally to the matter of refund
ing the debt for such a period and at
such rate of interest as shall enable the
company, under ordinary .circumstances
and business conditions, to 'meet the
current interest and a portion of the
principal debt each year, so that at the
expiration of the period for which the
extension is granted, the the debt may
be wiped out." .
In this arrangement, two plans have
been suggested :
First The continuance of the sinking
fund and the payment into it of a larger
share of net earnings than are at present
paid into it.
Second Periodical payments of a
fixed amount into the treasury ot the
of the United States until the debt is
liquidated.
. The committee does not, for the pres
ent, offer any suggestion as to the relief
to be afforded the Central Pacific.
Another Bond Calt.
Chicago, Jan. 26. A special to the
Post from Washington says the slump of
$7,000,000 in the gold reserve at one clip
led to ah entire revision of the treasury
plans. All thought of a long wait before
another bond call has been suddenly
and spontaneously "abandoned. It is
now a question of days, or even hourB,
instead of .weeks. . Secretary Carlisle
authorized the statement that no an
nouncement with regard to a bond call
would be made today, and in the same
breath followed the further proclamation
that the first of next week, possibly
Monday! the public would be officially
informed of the determination to issue
$100,000,000 bonds on the basis of 3 per
cent. --
New York, Jan. 56. It is understood
in New York that the secretary of the
treasury will issue a call for $50,000,000
4 per cent bonds next Monday. . The
only contingency which -might prevent
the attempt and change the programme
would be the agreement of the leaders in
congress upon some financial measure
which would be satisfactory to the ad
ministration. A Conference at the White House. -
Washington, Jan. 26. The president,
Secretary Carlisle and the attorney-general
bad a long conference at the White
House today, at which the financial
situation, it is said, was disenseed in all
its phases. Secretary Carlisle went7 to
the White House as early as 9 :30 this
morning, and was soon joined by Mr..
Olney. It is not known what, if any.
thing, was decided upon, but it is be
lieved that early in the coming week the
administration men in congress ' will
make an authoritative proposition to the
silver men, looking to the passage of a
bill providing for the issue of $500,000,000
in" 3 per cent bonds coupled with some
silver legislation. Friends of the ad
ministration argue it would be wise for
the silver men to. accept any: fair and
liberal offer, for in case they refuse, any
silver legislation during the next two
years would be out of the question.
Masquerading- as a Man.
San Jose, Jan. 26. A sensation" was
created in the county jail this evening
when the discovery ' was . made that' a
prisoner booked as Milton B. Matson 'is
a woman. She was arrested at Los Gatos
on : the charge of issuing bogus checks.
For about two years she conducted a
hotel at Ben Lemond, and owed many
debts there. The discovery was made
through a remittance from Englewood to
Louisa Matson to the Bank of British
North America while Matson was in jail
here. - These remittances have hereto-

The Western Blizzard.
Chicago, Jan.' ft. Reports from all
over the West and Northwest indicate
that last night's snow storm was the se
verest known for years. From four to
nine inches of snow fell and business
and traffic everywhere Is . impeded.
Most trains, from the. West and North
west are late today, and trainmen on all
that are Ifi have stories to tell of a severe
struggle with drifts of snow accompanied
everywhere by a high wind, which in
some places, notably in Chicago, reached
the strength of a gale, and complicated
the difficulties of travel.
Carlton Cornwell, foreman of the
Gazette, Middleton, N. J., believes that

and it effected a speedy cure. He says :
