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- msm TV ' " 'f.i The A B C of Good Cooking, Always use ., Cottolcnc, the new .r f , shortening, for all If f cooking ' purposes.
