Gen. Joe Johnston Wants an OverhauI-
Ing Of the Pacific Railroad Accounts.
From NE Ve,0 York Wor13.
WAsHINGroN, April 6.-Gen. Johnston,
Commissioner Of Railroads, was seen TO-
day by reporter, and in substance ex-
pressed himself as follows with reference
70 the Union Pacific railroad: 81 see 10

granted under the laws of Kentucky,
which has extended powers TO the con.
pany that it had no right 90 grant 90 y
corporation doing business IN the state
granting the charter. Consequently
cannot see why a charter can be legal un-
uer circumstances OF this kind.
These matters have been referred TO
the Attorney General for his decision, but
am not informed OF any action having
been taken upto the present time.n
