ness to-day there had been $4S, 400, 900 Of
per cent. coupon bonds received for
| continuance at 81 per cent, exclusive Of

should request his resignation.
Theophilus French, commissioner Of
railroads, has returned ind resumed the
charge of his Office in the interior depart
ment. He says he went to California on
his annual tour of inspection and ex-
animation of the Pacific Railroad mat
ter, and consequently that there is no
occasion for a special report to the secre-
tary of the interior concerning it, in ad-
vance of his regular annual report next
| November. He also says he has no re-
port to make to the attorney. general
concerning the government suit now
| pending against the Central Pacific Rail
road Company in New York, as that
matter was, several months age, referred
to District Attorney Woodford, with
whom he placed himself in communica-
ton while in California, and who
he intends to see in New York to-
morrow. He will al o, while in
that city make further examination OF
the accounts of the Central Pacific Com
panS. and is assured 1t will promptly pay
into the United States treasury whatever
sum he finds to be due from it to the gov
ernment under the requirements of the
| Thurman funding law. In view of thi:
understanding and the satisfactory result
of his Investigations in CaltfotniS, he has
no doubt the pending suit will soon be
discontinued. French says bis fear that
the interest Of government were in
danger from lesses, etc, made by the
Central Pacific Company was removed
by discovering thst the written reports
furnished him On these subjects had been
obscure, imperfect and erroneous, and
his letter to the President stating his con.
cluGion, was written 10 him in compli'
ance with q request made by the lattel
while they were still engaged in the ex-
animation ia California, and with the
explanation that it would be forwarded
to him from the company's Office to Eu,
rope by msil. Commissioner French
also remarks that he has not yielded any
part of his claims on the part of govern
ment against the company, but that OF
the contrary, they will be paid in full
according to his official sscertsinmen
and computations.
