WAsHINGToN CITY, March Ex-senator
Stanford was before the senate special com
mittee ON Pacific railways Saturday, in be-
half of the Central Pacific. He said the
government had loaned its credit to the
amount of $27 5000 in bonds, which had
produced in cash about $40 10000, Tho
company had issued bonds To the same
amount as the government, and they Ind
brought little less than those of the govern
ment. All this had been spent in building
the road,a the stories that hundreds of mill
lions of dollars had been made out of the
government in the transaction was false.
The government hal saved more in the
transportation of the mails and troops over
the road than it had invested in it. The
reason the road could not meet its obliga-
tons to the government was because the gov
eminent by its own act had created compel
ing lines, and thus injured the ability of the
Central Pacific to pay. The question was
now, will the government deal as generously
with the road as would individuals in the
circumstances
