Wilson. OF Iowa, called up the resolu-
tion heretofore offered by him calling on
the Secretary of the Interior for copy
Of each report made by the Government
Directors Of the Union Pacific Railroad
from the first appointment Of such Di-
rectors to the present time. Wilson re-
viewed at length the action OF the dov..

himself been one, with q view to show

tention to the information conveyed and
the recommendation made by the d.
rectors. the relation Of the Government
to the roads would to-day be better
one. Wilson favored the bill reported
| from the Judiciary Committee OF the
Senate Of the Forty eighth Congress, be-
cause under such law there woald be
possibility of Government ownership
Of the entire Pacific system. Not
that he hoped Government owner

In the United States would takn lively
interest In preventing government oyp-
orship of the Pacific roads, for thoir man-
ayers we'll knew that with those roads Ia
the bands Of the government the prob
lem Of regulating Interstate commorce
would be speedily and perfectly solved.
In Wilson's opinion we had the case In
our own hands and should not consent.
He for one would not consent to any
settlement Of the Pacific Railroad quea.
tion that did not embrace the feature OF
possible redemption BY the government
Of the present paramcpnt ieRs on the
Pacific roads, 30 the government might
protect itself against the defaults Of the
companies.
Upon the conclusion Of Wilson's rs-
marks the judicial salary bill was on
motion Of HoAr placed before the Senate.
Without further ACTION, however, the
Senate went into executive session, and
when the doors opened adjourned.
