A Fat Take for she Railroads.
WAsHiSoros. May 3.--It is under
stood that Secretary Folger will very
soon issue circular of instructions t,
the proper officers directing that the
money due the branch lines of subsid,
railroads must be paid. 1t appears tina
the Pacific railroads applied to tn
President to have the money paid Il
them under decision OF the Susrem,
Court, and that he referred the mattel
to the Attorney General for his opinion
The opinion OF Brewster is that tn
roads must be paid. The opinion wa
sent to Secretary Folger and the latte
will act upon it at once as above indica
ted. The action will result in the pay
ment to the Central Pacific and Unio
Pacific railroads Of vast sum of money
running away up into millions. Eve
since the Thurman Act went into effeci
under which the Pacific roads wer
charged twenty five per cent. Of their ne
earnings to satisfy the claims Of theGoy
ernment. money for carrying the mail
and general transportation of army an
Indian supplies has been with
held on all lines operated b
these Companies. Under this practio
o large sum due for carrying mails, etc
over the Utah, Colorado and Nebrask
branches Of the Union Pacificand Soutf
ern Pacific and other lines operated
the Central Pacific Company have bee
withheld. Under the opinion Of Brew
ster not only are all these lines to b
paid hereafter but what is past due mui
Be paid up. OF the so, 600 miles OF roa
operated BY the Central and Union Pac
fic only 2,400 miles or that actual
built under the Subsidy Act is sul
iect to the Thurman Law an
on these lines only can the Governmer
withhold money earned in transports
tion, as set off for claims against con
panies. These claims Of the Unio
Pacific Company are understood to
what Dillon referred to in his letter
Teller. The decision will make b
hole in the surplus which has been pile
up by the Postoffice Department for La
year.

Crime He held that judgment al
execution should be swift with Il
ssorank;p for the escape of one of the
men encouraged the entire class to
on committing crimes for like notorie
and like exemption. They well kno
they commit crime and deserve punis
