THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
He Advises That Virginia Stand p.
the RiddIeberger Settlement.

RICHMOND, Va, January IL
The message of Governor Mckinney
bearing upon the state debt was read
in both houses OF the general as
sembly today, as was the letter from
the bondholders on the same subject.
The bondholders suggested that a
fair and just compromise could be
agreed upon, and asked that COM
mittee from the legislature be sent to
London to confer with them, or il 1t
was preferred they would send COM
mission to Richmond with power to
act. The governor decided that in
the embarrassed financial condition
OF the state, it is clear that we are not
able to offer the creditors q more
liberal settlement than is provided
for In the Riddleberger bill, and he
saw no reason why q committee
should 90 to London. The initial e1-
penses OF the state, he says, have
grown larger since the passage OF the
Riddleberger act, while our resources
have diminished materially and if
the bondholders were to accept the
provision Of the bill, it would necessi-
tate an increase in taxation, unless
the assessments this year show big
increase in value OF taxable property.
He advises that we stand by the Rid
dieberger settlement.

PUBLIC VIEW
IN REGARD TO THE RAILROAD
APPROPRIATION.
The COUyCIL'S ACTION DISCUSSED.
Tho Guarantees Required-Many Fa.
vor the Additional Appropriation.
Some Good may Result from tho
Late Informal Meeting.

The recent action of the council in
regard to the Roanoke and Southern
railroad is exciting considerable COM
ment among our people, and inter
views with a number OF leading bust
ness men of this city yesterday reveal
some difference of opinion in the
matter.
Some of those talked with 10y the
representatives Of the TINES seemed
to think that the guarantees required
by the council were all right, and
that the managers of the road were
asking too much, in expecting the city
to make any other concessions than
those provided for in the last or
dinance.
Altogether, 1t was apparent, how
ever, that the great majority
favored the additional appropria-
ton OF 100000 for the
completion OF the road and
did not desire that it be hampered
with provisions too eXaeting They
realized the fact that the road
ought to be completed, and were
willing to accept the proposition Of
the officers of the company to the
effect that no bonds should be turned
over by the city until terminal
facilities had been guaranteed. They
regarded the objections urged by some
rs invalid, and did not hesitate to say
that the completion of the road was
paramount to all other considerations.
The action of the council in recon-
siderlng it's previous action was
regarded as damper; but the infor-
NAL meeting Friday night promised
to bring matters in good shape for the
consideration of council Tuesday
evening, when it is believed all differ
ences will be adjusted and prepare
tions for earl, work on the Roanoke
and Southern will be consummated.
In this view OF the question it is
earnestly hoped that the members OF
the council will coincide, for our city
has too much at stake in this matter
to consent to any further delay AS
the TINES has often said the Roanoke
and Southern railroad is an enter
prise which our people cannot slight,
and when they realize this fact the
future is safe. Let us then bury our
differences and go to work to aid In
building the road. which means the
making of Roanoke the metropolis OF
this section, and the second city in
wealth and population in tn state.

CHICAGO, Ills, January IA
special dispatch from Helena, Mont,
to the Inter-Ocean, says: Yesterday
afternoon Messrs. Sanders and Pow
ers, who were elected United States
senators by the republican house and
senate, made formal application TO
Governor Toole for certificates OF
election. The request was denied on
the ground that their election was
Illegal, and also because OF the fact
that Governor Toole had already
given certificates Of election to Messrs.
Clark and Maginnis, elected by the
democrats. The legislative deadlock
continues in full force and the repub-
licans have decided to break it, so far
as the senate is concerned, by I'M
seating Mr. Mcnamara (democrat)
who is ineligible, because of his being
d federal official. This will give the
rcpu blicans full and free control OF

New Building recommended.
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, January 11.-An i'm
portant recommendation was agreed
upon by the senate committee on
public buildings and grounds yester-
day. 1t was decided to report to the
senate hill for the condemnation
and purchase OF the two squares OF
ground directly north of the site OF
the congressional library and east OF
the capitol grounds, Upon which to
erect suitable building for the Sn
preme court.
The committee also decided to
recommend the passage Of the bill
appropriating $50, 900 for the erection
OF statue OF Columbus, to be
unveiled in 1892. 1t is to stand where
the peace monument is now located,
at the foot of Capitol Hill, on Penn
sylvania avenue, the monument to be
transferred to a location yet to be
selected.
The bill which the committee agreed
to report for the purchase OF site for
a Supreme court building is Senator
Morrill's measure, which has been
before the senate for several years,
and was once passed by that body.
The bill authorizes the secretary Of
the interior to purchase the ground,
226, 157 square feet, at prices not ex-
ceeding its actual cash value, nor
exceeding the prices at which the
owners have heretofore agreed in
writing to sci! the same to the United
States. If the owners refuse to sell
within thirty days after the passage
of the bill, then the secretary shall
begin proceedings in condemnation
before the Supreme court OF the dis.
trict to secure possession. The bill
appropriates sufficient sum of money
to carry out itspurpose.
