UNION PACIFIC STOCKHOLDERS.
We called attention some days ago to
fact that number of the eastern stock
holders of the Union Pacific railroad
company were becoming somewhat ur-
gent in demanding dividend, they
having received nothing on their stock
for more than four years. We quoted
extracts from published letters of some
OF these stockholders in which they
stated that many had been compelled
to unload their Improbable stock and
that others would have to do so unless
the company resumed the payment Of
dividends. We quoted, also, from a
Boston paper figures of the earnings of
the road for several years showing the
ability OF the company TO pay diyi-
dends. Later figures show that the
road earned enough money last year to
pay all its expenses, including deficit
of eight hundred thousand dollars on
leased lines, the entire interest on its
debt to the government, and to have be-
sides to its credit four hundred thous-
and dollars.
At meeting of Union Pacific direc-
tors in Boston last week the dividend
question was discussed, and it was de-
cided that under the existing circum-
stance OF the railroad situation 1t is in
eXpedient to resume the payment oi
dividends" The impression was con-
veyed, however, that in case the west,
ern railroad outlook brightens, with
indications OF permanent Improvement,
a dividend will be declared without
reference to further congressional
delay. There is information that some
of the stockholders are not satisfied
and il is said the directorate is uneasy
IN consequence of the vigorous protest
against the non-payment OF dividends.
There is an apprehension, it appears,
that some OF the stockholders may pro-
ceed TO extreme measures il something
is not speedily done to appease them.
Perhaps the directors showed good
sense in declining to take money thai
belongs to the people to pay dividends
but the stockholders may pertinently
ask whether this money is to be held
for paying the obligations of the road
to the people, or used as other mil lions
have been, for enrichiug individuals
identified with some OF the many cor
porations In which the Union Pacific
company has a proprietary interest.

WAY TO GROUND THE WIRES.
A Simple Conduit scheme For Which
MuchDis Claimed

William b. Mack, we'll known in
ventor, has just had papers issued for a
new invention, which he claims will
settle the long mooted question OF plac-
ing telegraph and electric wires under
ground by supplying II conduit system
that will remedy all the defects charged
against the present system, and comply
with all demands.
The system as described by the inven-
tor is most practical, if it will prevent
induction, a question for experience to
demonstrate. The conduit is an Or
dinary l5-inch water main or cast
iron pipe, or sections OF the
same, which have at equal distances

CONGRESS OF AMERICAN NATIONS


No event of the year will be regarded
with greater interest than the as
sembling of the congress of American
nations at Washington. We noted
some time ago that there appeared to
be lack of1nterest in the congress in
most Of the countries expected to be
represented. The press of some OF these
countries, in discussing the matter,
took the view that there was little
probability of reaching any practical
results, and it was natural to assume
that in this the newspapers reflected
the sentiment in official cir
cles. The promise is, how
ever, that only two or three
South American countries will be alb
litical confusion now existing in these
shall be relieved they may send repre-
sentatives. The leading governments
of South America. with the exception
of Brazil, have formally signified their
intention to send delegates to the con-
gress, and undoubtedly Brazil will do
SO. All the Central American states
Will DC TCpTCsCuuCu, tbuu Nleh-
leo will participate. The assurance is
that the congress, whether 1t shall ac-
complish anything of practical nature
or not, will be most respectable and
intelligent body.
That there has not been greater in
terest in this matter on the part of the
countries invited to this congress is
1or 1,,a fn ha fnpt hot ha log nd
ministration was known to have very
little sympathy with the movement. The
idea was not of democratic origin. The
credit of it belongs to the present Sec
retary of state, and but for the national
tragedy which sent him to private life
eight years ago congress OF American
nations would have been held during the
administration of which he was then O
part. At that time all the American ma
tions were heartily in sympathy with
the proposition, and there is not one of
them that would not have been repre-
sented. President Arthur was induced
to defeat the plan, and although 1t re-
ceived the approval of the last admins
tration, neither Mr.. Cleveland nor Mr..
Bayard took any hearty interest in it,.
The delay, however, is perhaps not to
be regretted, since there are stronger
reasons now than ever before why the
American nations should consult to-
gether with view to commercial and
political all lance for their mutual pro-
lection ana benefit. 1t NAV not be pos
sible to effect at once all that is hoped
for from this congress, but it can hardly
fail to have good influence toward the
consummation, certain to be reached in
time, of a commercial, and perhaps
also political alliance between the
United States and all the other nations
of the western hemisphere. 1t is of
course Of the greatest Importance that
the United States shall be represented
in the congress by the ablest men who
| can be induced to accept an appoint
ment, and IL would appear from what was
said IN the senate regarding the dele
| gates appointed that the president was
not altogether fortunate in his selec-
| tions. 1t is 10 be borne in mind, how
ever, that the delegates who will repre-
| sent the United States receive no COM
pensation, and that it is consequently
not an entirely easy matter to secure
| for service that brings no other re-
turn than the honor just the class OF
| men desired.

THE NATIONAL SENATE.
Ii Confirms Several Nominations and
Adiourns Sine Die.


WASHINGTON, April 2.-After the presen.
tation Of two memorials, one in favor Of
special privileges in regard to public ofllce
for nonorably discharged union soldiers and
the other against traffic in intoxicating
liquors, the vice president LAID before the
senate Mr.. Stewards resolution expressing
the sorrow of the senate ut the death OF John
Bright.
Mr.. Sherman suggested that the rcsolu.
tion had better be referred to tho committee
on foreign relations as its adoption might
establish precedent that would return TO
plague the senate.
MIR. Hawley remarked that no such occa.
sion was likely to arise again. If the United
States have ever had friend in time of need
that friend was John Bright.
MIR. Hoar thought that in this particular
case the senate was safe Us it was not at all
likely that state of things would arise that
would establish between the United States
and citizen of foreign country the pecu.
liar relations of respect on one side, and Of
tender, grateful affection on the other, that
existed in this country toward the great
English statesman who had just gone to his
tomb.
MIR. Sherman, while yielding to none In
respect for Bright was opposed to the ex-
ample which the resolution would set, but
he would offer no obstacle to it and would
withdraw his motion to refer
Mr.. Reagan thought that the pending res.
olution would establish a bad precedent,
uuder which the senate might hereafter be
asked to adopt resolutions of regret when
ever O foreign statesman or revolutionist
might die He therefore renewed Mr.. Sher-
mans motion to refer the resolution to the
committee on foreign affairs.
Mr. Stewart opposed reference of the resA
olution, and favored its adoption. He
eulogized the character of Bright as a leader
among men, not by inheritance of rank but
by right OF great natural endowments and
high moral integrity.
Mr.. Hawley said he was sorry to see any
difference of opinion as to the resolution,
although he was aware that the difference
did not attach to the merits of the great
man.
Mr.. Evarts remarked that the discussion
had nothing to do with the character of
Bright but only with the formahty Of tho
senate's proceedings.
The question was on Mr.. Reagan's motion
to refer the resolution to the committee on
foreign relations and it was so referred.
The vice president then announced his in
tention of vacating the chair for the re-
mainder of the session, and expressed his
grateful appreciation Of the courtesy and
consideration which he had received from
every member.
Mr. Edmunds then offered a resolution
that in the absence of the vice president, MIR.
ingalls, be chosen president of the senate
pro tempore. Carried.
The senate then proceeded to consideration
OF executive business ana confirmed all nom
nations of delegates to the South American
convention and also the nominations of Will
state and l.. Bradford Prince as governor OF
New Mexico.
At 3:40 on motion of Mr.. Cameron, the
senate adjourned sine die.
