cess, when 1t was learned that the admlnistra-
ton was moving towards a prosecution Of the
roads. While 1t has become apparent Ghat the
Henley resolution to investigate tho affairs OF
the Union Pacific will be adopted, 1t has been
finally determined that q suit shall be brought
by the government against the Pacific railroads
to recover the enormous sums which they have
illegally paid to the Pacific Mail Steamship
company In the form Of o subsidy to defraud
the government. 1t is not improbable that the
President will send a special message to Con-
gress upon the subj ct. There Is consterna.
ton among the Pac dc railroad people and
their representatives here, and the belief is
general that 1t will be but a very short time
TIL these corporations will be forced to dis.
gorge by an honest settlement.
