The Question of Arrest While Abroad SUBJ
mitted to the President.
New YORK, Jan. l4.-W. II. Delancey
counsel for the Kansas Pacific bondholders
who are suing Gould and Sage to recover
several millions of alleged misappropriated
securities, has written President Cleveland
that he thinks the recommendations of the
Pacific Railroad Commission as to the
terms which the Government should re-
quire from the Kansas Pacific roads for the
settlement OF its claims against that
organization are too severe He says that
the trustees, Jay Gould and Russell Sage,
converted 100000 of it's securities to
their own use, thereby making the
property less able to meet its
obligations both to the Government
and the holders of the bonds, and he thinks
the Government should abate its claims
somewhat for time, so that the bond
holders may receive their interest, pending
the outcome of proceedings against Messrs.
Gould and Sage. The proceedings, he says,
are delayed by the fact that Mr.. Gould is
beyond the jurisdiction of the is, and,
in the absence of extraditlon treaties, can
only be brought back for trial by executive
request through diplomatic channels, and
he informs the President that formal ap-
plication for Gould's return will be made
to the Department Of State.

ings on the east side of the street, In spite
Of the efforts Of the fremen, started a
