THE RAILROADS COMMISSION
Recommetii an Act Wfcicb Woult Be
Successful if Practicable,
DIFFICUTL MATTER TO ADJUST.
Special by The California Asscutxo Passs.
Washington, June 7. The follow
ing is the majority report of the house
Pacific railways committee, accom
panying the funding bill. Chairman
Dazell nnd others of the committee,
failing to agree, will in a few days
submit a minority repert:
'Any settlement made betwesn the
United States and the Pacific rail
ways, in lespect of their indebtedness
to the United States, should be made
with reference to aud under the fol
lowing among other consideratiens:
The settlement should be of such a
character as not to destroy the value
of the stock of the corporations.
"Second That to a large extent.
the navment to be made on account of
the government indebtedness, mast be
derived from the people living along
the lines of roads. Competing for
transcontinental traffic is of such a
character as to reduoe compensation
for through service, to low competitive
rates, so that such amounts as may be
required to be paid on account of the
indebtedness to government, are very
largely drawn from local patrons of
the roads.
'Third, that iu connection with the
settlement, the government should
obtain for itself, such further and ad
ditional security as tho companies, or
either of them, might .bo able to give,
in addition to aided lines, by which
alone their respective debts are now
secured. It has, therefore, been pro
vided in the case of each company, that
to secure bonds to be given on tho
proposed adjustment of the debt, a
mortgage should be made secur
ing and embracing the entire
property of the company,
personal and mixed, including all
right, title and interest of the com
pany, in and to any stock, bonds, se
curities, or lands of any branch lines
or auxiliary companies, in which said
company has an interest, and all rail
roads owned, acquired or contracted
for by the companies, and all fran
chises, telegraph lines, rolling stock,
fixtures and property of every kind
aud description, as well as that which
it, or its successors and assigns might
acquire.
In the case of the Central Pacific
company, that company and its lessee,
the Southern Pacific company, are
required to file a modification of the
lease, modified in such a manner as to
provide that during the term of the
mortgage for. the benefit of properties
of the Central Pacific Railway com
t iw I
pany at an annual rental or rentals,;
which shall not be less iu auy year, I
during such term, than the aggregate

thfit th lfta.se of tho Central Pacific .
company to the Southern Pacific com-
nnnv i finhWt in. and mnde further !
security for, a lien of the mortgage to
the United States."
The report of the Pacific railroad
commission and report of the commit
tee of the senate on the president's
message, transmitting the report of tho
Pacific railway commission, fully
pointed out the disparity between the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific
- J -'J'--' - f
properties, both intrinsically and iu!
uieir earning power, ami iuo necessity
of adopting different modes of adjust
ment for the two companies, or to put
it in another form, the ability of the
Central Pacific Railroad Company to
make or carry out the adjustment on
the terms prescribed for the Union
Pacific road.
The president of the United States
in transmitting the report of the com
mission, pointed out the fact that the
success of any plan, depends
on its acceptance by the com
pany, and the ability to perform
its conditions after acceptance. The
commission had pointed out very
clearly the fact that the earnings of
the Central Pacific railway company
were not such as to make it probable,
that they could comply with the act
proposed by the commissioners, even if
it should accept the same, and sug
gested that if it should be deemed ad
visable, to effect a permanent
settlement -with that company
a method by which that result might,
be obtained would be to reduce the
rate of interest to a rate lower than
three per cent and by-oi farther bill
submitted therewith could be brought
within the limits of the earning capac
ity of Central Pacific railway by re
ducing the rate of interest which the
bonds should bear. He" suggested thk
merely as a business method of effect
ing the best adjustment possible with
these insolvent debtdrs.
The aode of adjustment proposed

limiting to that extent the amount
payable on behalf of that company
during the period proceeding maturity
of its first mortgage bonds which pre
cede the government debt
Second, that distribution of the pay
ments on account of principal and in
terest of Central Pacific debt has been
assimilated to distribution of such
payments as prescribed for the Union
Pacific company, the only differences
being in the reduction of the rate of
interest from 3 to 2 per cent and ex
tension of period covered by the ad
justment from 50 to 75 years.
It is believed that both companies
will be able to meet its requirements
under the act now reported and that an
adjustment on the basis so proposed
will lead to the final payment of the
indebtedness of both companies to the
United States.

tearing each other to fragments, leav
ing nothing but solid parts of tho
machines, and crushing them out of
all semblance. The escape of the en

said to have acted bravely and with
good judgement, doing all they could
to avert the disaster, and no blame
seems to attract to auy one but the
unfortunate operator at Montgomery,
who is said to be insane by the fatal
error. In addition to the demolition

How He Worked Ir.
'Say reporter, see here. You must
not put a thing in the paper about
that scheme I was talking to yon
about It will kick up a deuce of a
row in that new camp."
'Welt now, see here, we have inter
viewed three other men, and I promise
you I will not use anything you have
given me. We will only use what the
other men told us."
'Thanks."
"As you regard a friend don't
breathe a word about that interview
with mel" exclaimed another well
known but excited citizen. ''It was a
great secret and should not be pub
lished." "All right Til forget what yon
said about it, but I got some informa
tion from another source wliich I will
use.'
"I can't help that Only don't get
mo into trouble."
"You remind me," remarked a friend
of the reporter, "of a fellow named
Barney McGimiiss, who worked in the
stables at a well-known race course in
Oregon. He was only a laborer in the
stibles, bnt for years he had enjoyed
tho reputation of being wise as to tho
outcome of the races. The betters
went to him for tips, and he alwavs
came out ahead.
"'Which horse do you think will
wiu to-day, Barney?"
"'Well,' witliasnrewu wink, 'on
bet on Tom if you want to win.'
" 'Oh, yes, I'll divide up with you.'
"So he would go through the list of
horses, making a careful note of the
men he recommended to bet on this
horse and that one. Just as"
soon as the race was over he
would skip around to the men who
had bet on the winning horso and
collect his share. Tho men who lost
he avoided as best ho could and when
confronted by them he had plenty of
excuses; but he managed to keep on
collecting his share from the winners
for several years. I see you have fol
lowed old Barney's plan of not de
pending on any one man for your
prize. Seattle Press.

American Refinery to Ojerate.
Z.AXD FRAUD CASE REOl'EXEl).
Special by California Associated Pukss.
San Francisco, June 9. The
supreme court to-day rendered a de
cision in the case of the American
sugar refiner, by which the property
is taken out of the hand3 of the re
ceiver, and restored to its original
owners, Havemeyer & Elder. The de
cision was on an application which was
granted for a writ of prohibition, to
stay the proceedings, pending an
appeal from the decision of the
superior court, which declared the
charter of the American refinery for
feited, owing to its joining the sugar
trust, and placed the property in the
hands of a receiver, to wind up the
business.
The American refinery will now re
sume business and the serious sugar
i famine, previously threatened .will be
averted. The rate for granulated
sugar was immediately fixed at 6
cents, a reduction of J of a cent,
from the prevailing quotation, and
heavy orders were immediately placed
by the city merchants, and many from
the cities west of the Missouri river,
who had been advised of the decision
by telegraph.

it has, so far as we know, nerer bem
mentioned in a court Itseemathat
the regulation in regard to party walk
in the district of Columbia wm com
posed, or perhaps copied, frbmsoaM
regulations existing in Philadelphia
by no less a person than preaaawt
Washington, and his rule has been the
law ever since. Under this, if apeaom
puis pare oi ine iounaanon oi xam wau
on lu3 neighbor's land, that neighbor
is entitled to use the wall above ground,
as a party wall, even though toe wall
above the foundation may be wholly
on the land of the one first bufldimg.
To architects, this view of the matter
will seem very reasonable, and it womld
certainly be of advantage to the art of
construction to go still farther, and
to say that, at least in certain locali
ties, every wall built within two feat
of the boundary line between twa
adjacent properties should be bh
with its center on the boundary liaa
and made a party wall. The raaaom
for this is, of course, that no wall la
properly built, the center of whiah
does not stand over the center of ita
foundation; and that, when two inde
pendent walls are built on adjoimi&g
properties, close to the boundary una.
both of them must, under the moat
favorable conditions, stand on the ex
treme edge of their foundations, at
the imminent risk of causing the foot-,'
ings to tilt, or "roll," producing settle
ments andurackS; and bringing aboat
ultimately the destruction of the walL
In practice, however, the first cooaar
always gets his footing stone a little .
over his neighbor's line, and, when the
latter builds, he is obliged to have'
either the first footing cut off, endang
ering the old wall, or to set his. own
footing back, and build his wall over
hanging them, at the great peril of hk
own construction. The matter la par
ticularly serious with pile foundation!.
In this case the first to build always
dnves a row of piles tangent to the
boundary fine, and his wall abora
ground rests vertically over his row of
piles, the second and third row of
piles, driven parallel with the first,
helping to carry the load, but in an in
defintie degree, depending on the
bonding of the footings and other cir
cumstances. When the aeaoad
proprietor comes to build, how
ever, and finds the first
piles driven close to the
line, he is prevented from, follow
ing a similar course on his own aide.
Not only does the form of the piledriY
ing machine render it impossible to
get it near enough to the existing wall '
to drive piles vertically within six or
eight inches of the line, but it is difl- ,
cult and dangerous to drive even ao
near as this, and in practice the near
est row of new piles is often drrram "
foot or more back from the boundarr
line. When the remaining rows ars
driven, the footing courses laid and
the superstructure begun, the new wall,
if it is built close to the Una, -as
it usually is, stands over noth
ing, the nearest row of pflaa
of the three which are sap
posed to support it being soma dis
tance back from the line of the walL
It is marvelous that walls constructed
in this way, of which there are ham
dreds, stand at all, and they would
probably not do so, except the support
which the second wall gets from lean
ing against the first; yet the only al
ternative is to drive the piles for the
second wall obliquely so as to crowd
them in among those intended for the
first walk This method, although
often followed, is, in most cases, even
worse than the other, as it brings the
new wall on an inclined support
The best course in all such cases, and
the one which should be required by
law, is to arrange the piles and tba
footings as if for a party wait bnild
ing the wall above ground on the par
ty line or not, as circumstances may
require. The last comer, in case ha
wishes to erect a heavy building on
his side of the line, can drive addition
al piles, and, by the arrangement of
the footings, utilize them, as wall aa
those already there, to support hk
wall, which will thus rest nearly on
the middle of the foundation, and be
under conditions favorable for stabil
ity. Fanny Davenport is ready for tba
census enumerators, wnen asjcea
her age on the witness stand the other
day she answered that she had bean
"twenty years on the stage."
It is claimed that German authori
ties purposely suppress the Polkh
