The secretary of tin- treasury Issued a wnrrant In favor of the treasurer of the 1'nlted States for ;.."I.ViVi.i:., to lie used In thr payment of llrst inurt cages on the eastern and middle divisions of the Kansas Pacific railroad. Attorney-General Griggs in reply to In quiry has Informed the representatives of the rcoricanli'itliM committee that under no drcumsianc s will the government ac iep less than the full amount of the rlndpal of the debt, nnd that If the committee wishes to make this offer It may be dune tu the government at the time that the motion fur authority to pay off the llrst Hen Is made to the court. TIIK KANSAS PACIFIC. Washington, Feb. 9. There seems to be a probability that negotiations now pend ing between the government nnd tho l"n Ion Pacific reorganisation committee- will result In n settlement of the government's claim against the Kansas Pacific with out the necessity of a foreclosure. Vp to yesterday the best offer made by the committee was fc'.fmi.nort. and upon this being declined another proposition was made on a basis of H.Sort.OOrt, which nlso was declined. The government Is fixed In Its purpose not to accept less than $6, .1.i. the principal of the debt, and as the difference between this amount and the offer already made Is only $1.S0.1.000, It Is believed that before the time arrives fur making the motion fur leave to pay off the first mortgage and for n post ponement of the sale, the full amount will have been offered nnd accepted. IN THE SENATE. Washington, Feb, 9. There were few senators who hail not road the Dp Lome Idler when the senate met today, but there were comparatively few of them willing to express an opinion upon It.

Mr. De Lome Is entitled to sus pension of Judgment until the responsi bility Is more definitely determined than at present." "If It Is true." snld Senator Foraker, also a member of the foreign relations iiimmlttee. "Mr. De Lome ought to be given his passports Immediately." Senator Spooner There Is a gross at tack nnd most astounding, but I cannot discuss It In view of the doubt as to Its genuineness. Senator Hawley It. Is n matter for the slate department to deal with and does not come within the donian of congress. 1 have no doubt that It will bo properly handled by the department. Senator Stewart The sentiment ex pressed Is In line with Spain's policy and disposition. We do everything to concil iate, the Spaniards; they reciprocate by despising us.
