Utilizing the Sutro Tunnel.
Virginia City, Feb. 17.--At three p.
M, yesterday, the water was pumped
from the flooded mines into the Sutro
tunnel. The reason assigned in
breaking of pump rod in the Hale
& Norcross, consequently the water
was sent through the tunnel to prevent
its rising to the two thousand foot
level. The rod will be repaired this
evening.
Adolph Sutro in an interview states
that this action on the part of the
mining companies is bluff game to
force him to accede to their demands
in compromise, the details of which
have been for some time in considera-
tion. His private kilograms announce
sixty inches of water of temperature
of one hundred and twenty degrees
flowing through the tunnel filing it
with steam and rendering work impos-
sible. All workmen have been dis
charged. Sutro is preparing to obtain
an injunction from the federal courts
as the only recourse, all access to the
tunnel being impossible.

New York, Feb. 17.-Gould, accord
ing to the better informed, was holder
of ITO, 900 shares and of these he has
sold 100,0 at price not far from
seventy. As he began to purchase
stock at something below thirty an idea
can be formed of the great profit which
this transaction has brought him.
The last rumor is that Gould sold
sufficient stock to transfer the control
of the road to Boston stockholders.
The Union Pacific first mortgage sold
up to 110t per cent, the highest point
it ever made in the market. The Un-

year. Estimated increase for the month
is 1925, 900. ~

Wall Street Excited.


Union Pacific stock opened this morn
ing at 693 and suddenly jumped to 10,
then fell to 755 and again advanced to
77t. Wall street was puzzled by these
extraordinary fiuctuation, and every
form of rumor was current. The rea-
son assigned is that Jay Gould sold to
a pool of speculative capitalists one
hundred thousand shares at 70. Ac-
cording to report this syndicate in
cludes Russell Sage, James NJ. Keene,
Addison Cammach, G. G.. Osborn, D.
P. Morgan, w. L. Scott and others.
1t is also rumored that the board Of
directors will be changed; that Jay
Gould goes out and that representa-
tives Of the new buyers are to 20 into
the board, as one of the conditions Of
the transaction. Wall street has not
been SO excited for long time. The
opinion prevails that as now the large
block Of stock in Gould's hands has
been distributed, the stock will become
active.

The calling Of Congress together In extra
session recalls the fact that this Is the seventh
time in the history of the country since 1912
when such measure has been deemed neces-
sary. The first extra session after that year
was in 1918. from May "a to August 2, to pro-
vide for carrying on the war with England.
The second lasted from September to Oeto-
Der &c. 1887, and was called to iegislate on the
financial crisis. The third began on May 81
and lasted until September 10, 1S41, and was
for the purpose Of considering "sundry Inn
portant and weighty matters" connected
with the finances Of the country. The fourth
lasted from August 81 to August 3d. 1856. and
was called to provide the necessary supplies
for the army, the appropriation bill having
failed at the regular session. The fifth was
called to provide means for carrying on the
war, and lasted from July to August 6, 1861,
The sixth began October Is and ended De-
cember g. 1877, being called to provide neces-
sary supplies for the army, the regular ses-
sion of the Forty-fourth Congress falling to
make the appropriation, owing to the presi-
Dental difficulty and the questions arising
out Of 1t. AS all know. the seventh and last
extra session became necessary because OF
the deadlock between the Democratic House
and Republican Senate on the amendments
to the Legislative bill repeating the Federal
election laws.

The successful efforts OF the Republicans
towards the close Of the late congressional
session saved from punishment two of tho
old gang who richly deserved it-ex-Secretary
Robson and Chinese Minister Seward. The
Democrats had small account TO regulate
with Robson, amounting to about $3.50 0OO,-
900 In eight years of his administration OF the
navy. Besides this he left deficit OF
S7,0O0,00O when he went out OF office. This
was abundantly proven before the Whitthorne
committee AS for Seward, his transactions
as consul general in China stamp him as one
OF the most thorough rogues Of the day. His
operations did not equal Robeson's In magni-
tude. but for devious practices even the OK
Secretary could not surpass him. These
Republican black sheep had q narrow escape,
but Nemesis will overtake them yet. IL they
escape the coming Congress with whole skins

shall be greatly disappointed.

The New York Herald has canvassed the
Democratic members of the Forty-fifth or
outgoing Congress on the question. who will
be the Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency In 1880? 1t finds Thurman the first
choice, no less than fifty members expressing
their partiality for him, while eleven favored
him as second choice Tilden and Hendricks
seemed to be about equal in strength, thir-
teen congressman favoring the former and
twelve the latter. Bayard's strength was
placed as ten for him as first choice and nine
teen as second choice.
The Herdlds table, however, will scarca,y
give the public much light on the probable
democratic candidate for the Presidency in
1880 1t is otherwise with the Republican
candidate. Ii the Democratic Congressman
arc political prophets and toresee truly tha
course OF events In 1880, Grant will certainly
lead the Republican fight. or the hundred

but one exception, named Grant as thu newt
