ber to every miner and other persons enter

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 4.-Thl
Railroad company in their annual report tc
the secretary of the interior, under the date
Of November %, say they have assumed as 9
premise now beyond the scope of discussion
the necessity of an adjustment to the gov.
ernment and the railroad company for the
payment of the funds heretofore advanced
as subsidy for building the road. The
government directors are still Of the opin-
ion that it would be better for the United
States to lose every dollar of its deb. and
execute release to the company, than to
undertake the duties of a common carrier of
goods and passengers, thereby establishing
q precedent which would surely create mis-
chief far beyond the bsnefits tofe reaped
from so Hazardous an experiment.
1t must be clear too, says the report, ths;
every year that is allowed TO pass without
the iquie alton and settlement of the debt,
increases to a serious extent the difficulties
of the situation. The questions between it
and the government, the report says, are to
be passed upon and determined by large
body of men coming from different parts 4
the country, actlated it may be in some iu-
stances by an honest prejudice, founded
upon an imperfect knowledge or distorted
representation of facts; or not unfreQuently
by ths conviction that some punitory meas
ure should be adopted against the corpora
ton. even at the risk of diminishing its
ability to respond.
These and other elements of uncertainty
embarrass the movements of the company.
and paralyze its freedom of action. 1t is
as important to the government as to the
company that all necessary liberty should
be given the managers of the corporation
to develop the resources upon which the fu-
ture solvency of the road must depend. 1t
is not possible, the report says, that rail-
way company, situated as the Union Pa
cific, shall remain any considerable length
Of time in the same condition. ct must
move in one direction or the other. 1t must
improve or deteriorate.
The government directors assume that
some settlement should now be made and
recommend the conclusions of the majority
of the commission appointed under the act
Of 1887 as sound, judicious and practicable.
They earnestly hope that they will meet
ing these conclusions they are of the opin-
ion that the government will secure its
claim beyond any reasonable risk. Its lien,
they assert, will then be placed in such
shape as to make enforcement possible in
case of a default in the payment of interest;
and every year in the future will make ulti-
mate payment of principal more probable.
In concluding their report the govern
mert directors say that SO far as they have
has been within the past year managed with
ability and integrity. Everything has been
done that could reasonably be expected to
keep the road in the line of improvement
and to satisfy the just requirements of the
government.
