have been settled in the early part Of the
nineteenth century, after which the whole
net earnings would have gone to the
stockholders, $50 that whether my asser-
ton was right or not would have made
but little difference" says Mr.. Hunt
ington. Continuing, he says that the
passage Of the Thurman act followed,
and this of course. put an end 10 the
company's own voluntary efforts, as we
could not pay the money into the United
States Treasury and also invest it else
where. Congress thus took the matter
into its own hands, and the result has
been to impOuud considerable sum IN
the United States Treasury, which
ought to have been earning or
s per cent. hut which has virtually
earned nothing. as il is to-day
doubtful whether as many dollars will
be gotten out of the fund as hes been
paid into it by the company. Finally,
it was not possible for the Central Pacific
Company TO repay the United States
loan ana the interest upon it, and at the
same time 20 take care OF It's first mort
gage bonds aud interest thereon within
the short space OF thrty years, unless It
had control OF the traffic Of the territory
II traverscd. When IT became clear that
other competing roads to the Pacific,
more LITERALLY aided than the first road,
were soon 10 be completed, It was evil
dent that both the first mortgage and
the subordinate liens must be postponed
for a very long time. Forreasons which
were no doubt satisfactory the Govern
meut impaired the earning capacity Of
the road and thereby its security for this
debt.
Mr.. Littler then addressed the com
mittce. He said that vhenthc commission
had filed the reports with the President
its duties were substantially at an end,
but that II the members could aid the
committee in any way IN reaching cor
rect determination of the important
question before it they would most will
iuRlv contribute their efforts. Taking
mp the case of the Union Pacific railroad
he called attention to the fact that
the bond -aided portion Of the road
did not embrace the terminal facilities
and property at Omaha, Kansas City,
or Denver. which was worth millions of
dollars. The promoters Of the scheme
must have foreseen that there would be
"a failure to pay the Government lien,
and had concluded that the valuable
terminal properties should not be Gov
cred by the lien. The Government
wonld not have much trouble in dealing
with the Union Pacific. The country
through which il and its branch lines
ran was wonderfully fertile and capable
of sustaining great system of roads.
The entire country from Omaha TO the
base of the Rocky Mountains would pro-
duce a very large traffic and would ena-
BILE the company under au economical
management to pay all its debts.
Commissioner Anderson was also
heard by the committee this afternoon.

AyoUrurUG KIDNAPPER.
An OutsroWth OF Reading Trashy
Literature.


OscEoLA Mills, Pa, February d.
The excitement occasioned by the kid
manning of Gertie Walker, the fifteen
vear-old daughter Of Il. J. Walker, has
reached its eliminating point IN the
story of the case, which is made public
by L. 4. kinsloe, the father Of the young
man. who has confessed to the mad
cap prank OF carrying oil his
neiohbor's daughter. Mr.. Klnsloe Is
the editor of the Wage turner's Jo,nr-
nal, weekly publication printed in
this town. aud his son, W. A. hinsloe,
the hero of this altogether singular adj
venture is only eighteen years old, and
has been his fathers assistant in getting
out the paper. The journal did not
come out this week, but in lieu thereof
Mr.. Kinsloe prints a single sheet with
the acknowledgment that the scrape IN
which his boy had involved them made
it impossible to issue complete paper.
He adds that the .IOuruni is for sale at
a sacrifice, and intimntes his purpose to
leave the region. He is apparently over
come with modification at his sons
strange action and disgrace.
The son, in his confession, says that
he seized the girl on Friday evening as
she was returning home from neigh
boris. threw her shawl over her face to
prevent any cutlery being heard, then
bound her arms aud ankles, and carried
her 10 the attic Of the JoUH0i Office.
He Immediately left her, and the
frightened girl remained in the attic
all night. In the morning she sue
ceeded in releasing one Of her hands,
and was thus able to free herself.
She then ran down the stairs and to
her home, and at once informed her dis
tracted aud weeping parents that young
Kinsloe had kidnapped her. The young
man was at once arrested and lodged in
Jail at Clearfeld. His statement is that
the girl was to be captured and held un-
til reward was offered Tor her return, the
project being the outgrowth of the read
ing of trashy literature in which kidnap
ping. highway robbery, and like crimes
form the basis. He asserts that no one
was engaged with him in his attempt to
kidnap Gertie, aud that no one knew of
his purpose. Friday evening he adj
mits he had two or three drinks OF
hduor. While standing opposite the
house of neighbor and seeing Gertie
come out the impulse seized upon him
to carry her OH. He asserts that he
never thought Of doing her any yio-
lence, his only purpose being 10 hide
her until reward was offered for her
return. How he was to obtain the
money without eliminating himself he
seems not to have considered, the
scheme having been worked out only so
far rs obtaining possession OF the girl
and the securing OF hiding place.

lBy telegraph to lho Dlspatchl

WAsHrSoroN, February 24.-In re-
Fponse TO invitation Messrs. Littler and
Anderson. of the Pacific Railroad Com
mission. appeared before the House Com
mittee on Pacific Railroads this morn
lug. Commissioner Pattison was not
present, but is expected u appear at an
early dav. Before asking Mr.. Littlcr to
express his views upon the Paciiic-rail-
road question tho chairman presented
and had placed on file letter from Mr..
Huntington.
Ar. Huntington in his letter calls at
tention 20 the fact that he was prevented
by reason Of interruption from giving a
fun answer at his last hearing to CUES
ton put as 20 what the Central Pacific
railroad had done towards paying its
debt at maturity. Lest the committee
might suppose that he did not
wish 10 make answer be thinks
1t advisable (as that is complete an
ewor) 10 make il in writing. He says that
thirteen years ago, IN letter TO the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury be pointed out
that the Government transportation was
diminishing very much below the
amounts the company had anticipated
when the contract was entered into, and
although some Of bis company directors
thought the Government could not col
lect anything under the act except the
3 por cent. Of the net earnings and one
half OF the service that the company did
for the Government, yet he thought II
best 10 establish sinking fund.
Mr. Huntington refers 10 the bills IN
troduccd il 1876 looking to the return TO
the Government OF the unsOld land
grant 10 part payment of the debt and
the diversion of the earnings from Gov
eminent transportation for the creation
Of q sinking fund. He says that some
thing Of tins kind would have been ac-
ceptable 70 the companies, but no action
NSs taken. II wss fortunate, perhaps,
for the Central Pacific Company that It's
offer was not accepted, as the provisions
would have proved serious burden now
that the Government business and the
net earnings have both shrunk by the
composition Of other through lines
MIR. Huntington then tells how the
directors OF the company in 1878 resolved
10 create sinking fund ia their own
treasury 10 meet It's debt. Ii is now APP
parent, he says, that the money could not
be made 10 earn s per cent, rs was anti
cipated. Nevertheless considerable
fund would have accumulated by 1898.
More than half the entire debt would
lave been paid, and the whole would
