he had drawn Of the present condition Of
the road, he did not know whether the
companies would accept provision requir-
ing them to institute suits against their
former managers for malieasance, but any
bill reported BY the committee should in
clude such provision. Unless the COM
mittee settled this matter on business
principles the Government would in 1897
lose $3.50. 900, 900 through the Central
Pacific. If it acted wisely, in ten years,

that when the commission had filed reports
with the President it's duties were substan.
TALLY at an end, but that if it's members
could aid the committee in any way in
reaching correct dissemination of the
important question before it, they would
most willingly contribute their efforts.
Congress had had much to do with the
question, how to keep the money out of the
treasury, but very little to do with getting
into the treasury the money which law
fully belonged there. The bill proposed by
the majority of the Commission would. he
thought, have the effect Of
PUTTING SUCH MONEY
into the Treasury. Taking mp the case of
the Union Pacific Rairoad, he called at
tention to the fact shat the bond-aided
portion of the road did not embrace ter.
minal 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 failure to pay the Government
lien and had concluded that valuable
terminal property should not be covered
by the lien. The Gcvernment would not
have much troubis in dealing with the

about the flower Is its odor, and it has
