A Plan to Settle tlio U. P. Gov
ernment Debt.
PORT ARTHUR STlLL SAFE.
Expected That When the Fight
Takes Place it Will he a Bloody
Encounter.
Associated Press.
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. U. P. OFFICIALS.
Will Arrive in Portland This Morning.
Spokane, Wn., Nov. 15. A special
train of six cars arrived over the O.
R. and N. tonight rxarlng Receivers
Anderson and Mink, of the Union Pa
cific, Receiver McNeill, of the O. R.
and N., and other officials of the two
systems. With the party"! M. Bosse-
van, who represents the Holland bond
holders of the Union Pacific The party
left at 10 tonight for Portland. Re
ceiver Payne and a party of Northern
Pacific officials will also go to that city
tomorrow. It was declared by a mem
ber of th 3 Union Paciflo party that the
meeting at Portland Is only coincident
and has no significance.
PORT ARTHUR NOT CAPTURED.
Tallen Wan Still Holding Out Against
the Enemy.'
Tien Tsln, Nov. 15. The Chinese re
ports from Port Arthur say the Jap
anese have not yet captured Tallen
Wan. Two forts are still holding out.
and In spite of desperate fighting, th
assaults of the tr.err.y have bn re
pulsed. From the samt source It Is
stated the Japanese are' far from Port
Arthur, whose defenses have been
greatly strengthened, and it is likely
the place will offer a determined resist
ance. It is also reported that a por
tion of General Shung"s army has re
captured Kln-Ipow, and the Japanese
have been driven out of Montien on
the road to Peking by the Chinese, who

London, Nov. 15. The Times will pub
lish a dispatch from Tien Tsln saying

renulslng them. The Chlnee general
adds that the Japanese made a second
attack upon the position he occupied
November 12th, but It appears the Jap
anese were again repulsed.
SUSPICIOUS OF GREAT BRITAIN.
Yokchama, Nov. 15. The. newspapers
here resent Great Britain's offer of In-
terventlon, which tbey reirard ss aj
movement entirely in behalf of China.)
Newspapers say the defenses at Port!
Arthur are reported stronger on thej
land side than on the sea front Fullyj
100 guns are said to be in position. The

Open Fraud
City at the
Kansas City, Nov. 15. An absolute
ahd glaring fraud perpetrated on the
tally sheets used In the recent election,
was today unearthed by W. T. Jamie
son, Republican candidate for prosecut
ing attorney, who was elected on fair
returns, but was counted out. The dis
covery was made in the presence of
the recorder of voters, Owsley, and wbb
admitted by that official. The find ver
ifies the allegations made by Jamie
son and Sloan, Republicans, that the
offices of the prosecuting attorney and
county marshal to which they were
elected, were deliberately stolen from
them and given to Bremmerman and
Keshlear, Democrats. Great conster
nation was caused among the politi
cians by today's discovery and startling
developments may be expeoted.
THEY VISIT GRESHAM.
The Chinese Minister's Visit Causes
Great Comment.
Washington, Nov. 15. The Chinese
minister, accompanied by two of his
gotlations for the United States medl
ation between China and Japan, the
call occasioned much comment, al
though officials and high diplomats
considered it . without significance.
There Is a growing belief that while
Japan has not declined to accept the
suggestion of this government to me
diate, It has let the fact be known
that Japan has not received any direct
proposition nor has the latter country
offered any Indemnity. This in effect
a negative answer, unless China
makes her offer as specific as Japan
expects.
TO ABOLISH THE SYSTEM.
Withholding -a Portion of the Soldiers'
Pay Not a Good Idea.
Washington, Nov. 15. Paymaster
General Smith, in his annual report to
the secretary of war, calls attention
to the fact that soldier's deposits have
increased $79,582 during the year. The
paymaster general questions the bene
ficial results of the system of with
holding a portion of the soldier's pay
until he Is discharged. Many men en
list, being told that their pay was $13
per month, only to find, that through
reductions on account of clothing and
withheld payment two or three months
must elapse before he can receive any
pay. He regards this as a breach, of
contract and deserts. Therefore, It Is
recommended that the system which
Is cumbersome and complicated, and
obsolete, be abolished.
