Omaha, Nov. 15. An Interesting; fea ture of the proposed re-organization of the Union Paciflo developed today In connection with interviews with lo cal railroad men, had by Frederick Coudert and John W. Doane, govern ment receivers of that property, who passed through here last night, en route FJast after examining the system. Mr. Coudert expressed himself as being favorably impressed with the Union Paciflo property. Regarding the plan of re-organlzatlon of the Union Pacific, as proposed by the government directors, he stated he was heartily In sympathy and looked to congress to do something at this session that would start the ball rol ling to a final settlement of the vast problem. The scheme of the directors as reflected In this report, Is to sub' stltute a three per cent blanket mort gage for the present six per cent mort gage, soon to become due. In other words, to pay the government debt by mortgage for $70,000,000 dated July 1, 1895, and to subject the entire rail road or railroads, to a single mortgage; under which an issue of three per cent 100-year bonds to an amount such that the accruing Interest will not exceed the minimum earning power, and apply the moneys and securities in the slnk4 suite, called on Secretary Gresham to ing fund to a part payment or exten-1 day. I" view of the pendency of ne- slon of the bonds which have a priority or lien over the lien of the govern ment, and till the stock of the company is all provided for under the new con ditions. Coudert felt hopeful that such a scheme as proposed by the directors might be favorably acted upon by con gre&J, by recognizing that the govern ment had better be satisfied with half a loaf than getting nothing in the event of the first mortgage bondholders be ginning foreclosures upon default of payment of Interest. Messrs. Mink and Anderson, of the receivers, Mr. Bolsse- Valn and his party, and General Man ager Dickinson are on the Oregon Hall way and Navigation Company's lines, today, and will arrive in Portland to morrow.
