KANSAS PACIFIC RAILROAD.
A Warrant Issued fur 7,nm.rt tu Pay Off
First Mortgages.
Washington. Feb. 9. The secretary of

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.
"It Is a very serious matter," snld Sen
ator Gray, of the committee of foreign
relations, "too serious to discuss care
lessly. 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

despising us.
