THERE Is some talk that during this
session an arrangement may be made
between the Government and the Pa
cifc Railroads, by which the roads
will repay to the Treasury in definite
annual sums the interest which the
Government has failed to secure
through the courts. 1t is
the interest of the railroad
company that some provision be
made for the liquidation Of this claim
OF the Government, which will become
valid when the time of the bonds has
expired, and IL not extinguished by

a rARCrCAL INvEsTIGATIoN.

Our San Francisco dispatches state
that the Investigation of the Pacific
disaster by Capt. Bob Waterman and
James Hillman, United States Inspect
ors, has resulted in their laying all the
blame for the accident on the officers
of the Orpheus. This va to have
been expected. Waterman could
hardly have been expected to attribute
the disaster to the unseaworthiness Of
the Pacific, when, rs inspector Of
Hulls, he had pronounced her per-
fectly sound and in q fit condition to
meet the dangers Of the q He was
virtually sitting as a Juror on his own
case, and Bully Waterman is not the
kind Of q man to render q verdict con-
victing himself of incompetency or
fraud. There is but little doubt OF the
Pscitic's un6tness for sea, and espec-
tally rs q passenger-carrying vessel on
the route upon which she was plying,
and whether or not the official indorse-
ment OF the Inspector was procured
corruptly, the investigation of the
matter should at least have been sub
mitted to parties less interested than
him.

Vne French Cabinet Troubles.


LONDON, Jan. 10.
From kilograms from Paris to The
London papers it would seem that the
Cabinet troubles have arisen from the
fact thar NJ. Leon Say, the Minister OF
France, is a candidate for the Senate
from the Department of the Seine Et
Disc, while NJ. Duflaure, Minister OF
Justice, is canvassing in C~harentein in
concert with Col. Rochneau Defer
ent, lately a member of the Assembly
from Charente Infereura and "A 0
decided opponent to the ministry.
Yesterday M. Leon Say had two au-
diences with Marshal MacMahon,
The Moniteur says he spoke to the
President about tbs attacks upon him
by a newspaper. The Figaro is the
paper meant. which yesterday affirmed
that M. Buffet had ordered the Pre-
feet OF the Seine it Disc to vigorously
oppose the senatorial list upon which
M. Leon Says name appears. The
Figaro also published a long and Bit
ter dlatribe against NJ. Leon Say, OF
which the followingis an extract: I" AS
for his candidacy on that list, he knows
tho Government blames him, yet he
remains. He knows the head of the
State rebukes his conduct and yet he
remains ~disavowed, condemned and
rejected by his ~coileaguers, but he
still remains. Whatever is said or
done he drinks of every cup and re-
mains.

THE immigration to the United States
during the last fiscal year numbered
227, 49S. This is a falling of of 1854,
compared with the previous year, and
of 132,305, compared with 1928. The
decline in two years is slightly over
one half. The Chief of the Bureau OF
Statistics, DIR. Young, gives, as the
principal reason for this decline, the
general prostration of business in this
country since 1873, which has caused a
diminution in the demand for labor.
The heaviest decline is the immigra-
ton from Germany, Austria and Con-
tinental n~ationalities; the arrivals from
these countries being less than one.
third tire number arriving thence two
years ago. This is attributed partly to
the great efforts made by those Coy
ernments to discourage the emigration
Of their people.

RETURNED TO PIoCHE.-John Croy-

torial department of the Phoebe Record,
and more recently engaged upon the
Virginia Chronicle, passed through
here a few days ago or his return to
Phoebe, where his family resides. Mr..
Croyland is an able and experienced
writer, and we hope he will soon find
it to his interest to re-enter the journal
istie arena. The Chronicle, upon his
retirement from that paper, pays him
the following well-deserved compli-
ment:
John Croyland, who, for some weeks
past has been connected with the edi-
torial department of this paper, leaves

that he will remain permanently in Pr

comparatively brief acquaintance, We
wish TO place on record nj testimonial
of regard for him as an able and expe-
rienced writer, and an honorable and
affable gentleman. As an able lawyer,
Mr.. Croyland is already we'll known
in Eastern Nevada, and we understand
that he will probably u the prac
