tho net income for the current year of
over 81. 900, 900, and the road is in better
condition than last year. the govern

recommend the early passage OF the bill
NOW before Congress unanimously

ciic Railroads, which provides for final
adjustment of the Union Pacific Railway
Companv's finances the seventy-year ex-
tension bill). the government directors
express confidence IN the present mana
pers of the road, and say In conclusion
that the interests of the road aud of the
government respecting future policy are
IDENTICAL. In other words, what is good
for one is good for the other, and what is
had for one is bad for the other.
The The property cannot stand still and
hold its value, and if it's value
declines the value OF the investment
Of the government will decline. But il
cannot progress as it should until its rela-
lions with the government are put upon
a wise, liked basis. We are hopeful that
all indications point to an abandonment
Of the old attitude Of mutual anlagon-
ism and to the general belief that inter-
qsts which have so long appeared con-
actng are in reality harmonious. The
report is signed by E. P. Alexander, f. B.

and refused to 20 to the battle ground.
The men had been in active and close
training for the encounter for several
weeks and the interest taken in the event
was widespread and intense. The amount
of money up in wagers was large. Lasl
evening all the preliminares having
been satlsfaci orily arranged a tram
load OF prominent sporting men
and aristocrats Went to Paris

reason KnittOn gave for his conduct was
that ne found tnat the mum Der of Smiths
adherents who would at gnd the fight

his own friends who would BIZ present
that he feared he would be unable to
obtain fair play and so concluded to
