Pacific Railway Debt Funding Opposed

Pacific Railway Debt Funding Opposed.
WASHINGTON CRY, Aug. 30.-Represent-
alive Dalzeli today submitted to the Ho use
in behalf of the minority of the House COM
mittee on Pacific railroads a report in oppo-
sition to the bill for funding the debt of
the Central and Union Pacific railways. 1t
is signed by DalzeIl, Flech. Cooper (Ind J.
O'Neill (Mass.). and Reilly. The OPPOSE
ton CT these representatives is based upon
different reasons, and they refrain. there
fore, from setting forth at length their in
dividual views Some of them are OF the
opinion this legislation is premature at this
time. The many years to elapse before the
maturity of the debt may bring forth
changes in the financial situation that
would prove any action taken at this time
unwise. II funding acts eventually prove
the proper method, they can as well be
passed hereafter, when the real relation be-
tween the government and its debtors, at
the time toe debts mature, can be intelli.
gently grasped. The minority are unani-
nous in the opinion that the railway COM
panies are not justified in asking any ar
rangement upon this basis. They should
pay The uttermost farthing of their debt.
They are clearly of the opinion as a plain
business proposition that the bill reported
by the majority gives an unjust advantage
to the debtors and fails to do justice to the
government

1t is learned that Bentley is indebted
quite extensively to local firms. among
them Earle Il Co.. Pierson Bros, Schwa-
bachers, Chris Ennis, Gus Harris and
others. the individual amounts ranging
from 500 to $780, To his employees he was

learned they have no security.
The Slime house was in charge OF Fred
Slime and E. Deprett.
Bentley was man of genial and open
nature, but addicted to sporting habits.
There was no suspicion among business
men that he was other than what he pre-
tended to bean honest man. He was
formerly banker in Athena. from whence
he came to this city. He leased the Slime
house in October last, and has been sue
cessful in his business here, as Is attested
by his employees. No doubt he carries
with him several thousand dollars.
Bentley is supposed to have gone to his
former home in Kansas. He took about
5000 with him.

NJ. NJ. Holmes, of Seattle; A. S. Cole, of

the meeting to order and Mr.. Holmes
acted as secretary.
Propositions for sites were received from
L. +. Cook, on Vashon island, with 400
feet of water front, and the Seattle Land
Company, site on the Sound, fifteen miles
north OF Seattle. The latter proposition
was laid aside for the alleged reason that
the description is too vague and uncer-
tain.
The next business was the consideration
of the offer made by Ezra Meeker to give

SENATE PROCEEDINGS
Carlisls's Motion to Put Wool on the
Free List Rejected.


WAsHrreroN CRY. Aug. S0.-In the Sem
ate Morgan presented resolutions of col
ored mass-meeting in Birmingham, Ala.
against the prssage of the federal election
bill. Several unimportant bills of local
character were passed. and the tariff
bill was then taken up, the pending ques-
ton being Carlisle's motion to strike out
the wool paragraphs, SO as TO place wool on
the free list.
Daniel addressed the Senate In support
of the amendment. 1t had been demon
strated. he said, that the high tariff on
wool. IL that high tariff had been designed
20 stimulate American man ufacturing
of woolens, has been a failure; if the do
sign had been to increase the number of
American sheep and the wool clip. it had
failed: IL the design had been to decrease
the price of wool it had succeeded. The
high duty had not checked the importation
of foreign woods, because these were neces-
sary for the utilization of American woods.
After considerable debate the vote was
taken. and Carlisle's motion to strike out
the wool paragraph was rejected; yeas IL,
nays 81, strict party vote.
The finance committee reported an
amendment TO the paragraph relating to
wooden and worsted yarn worth less than
50 cents q pound. by increasing the sale
per pound from two and one-half times the
duty per pound on unwashed wool of the
first class.
Allison believed the same rates in the
wool schedule too high. Republican men,
bers OF the finance committee. however,
have been told by their Democratic associ-
ases to 20 and make up to suit themselves,
and that they (Democratsl would content
themselves with offering amendments TO il.
Therefore the bill was now treated on both
sides Is party question.

that every line and letter in his declaration
concerning wool had become an article OF
party faith, and that as q party man he

Eight-Hour and Convict Bills Passed
with Others.


WAsHrNGror CRY, Aug. 30.-The House
this morning took up bill for the adjust
ment of accounts of laborers, workmen
and mechanics, arising under the eight
hour law. The measure was earnestly adj
vocated by Carutb. Dingley. Covert, Nor
rill, Flower. Wade. Reilly. Osborne and
FarQuhar. Bremen asserted that the men
who had worked in navy yards had en-
tered into q contract with the government
10 work ten hours, and had been paid for
ten hours work; to say they took the
work under protest and ought to be re-
paid for the extra two hours, was too
ridiculous an argument to be presented.
He offered an amendment providing
that the act shall not be operative when
ever the court of claims shall find that
the claimant performed the service under
any contract, expressed or implied, and has
been paid the amount agreed upon. The
amendment was adopted and the bill was
then passed.
The House then proceeded to the con-
sideration of the bill amending the alien
contract law. After discussion the bill
passed without opposition, as did the bill
prohibiting the employment of convict
labor on public works, the bill to prevent
the purchase of supplies. the product OF
convict labor, by the United States. the
bill giving consent to North Dakota to ap-
propriate q section of land for use of the
State agricultural college, and the confer.

Nicaragua Canal Companx raxo-aa

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 30.-The House
committee on commerce today made an
adverse report on the bin to repeal the act
incorporating the Maritime Canal Companv
of Nicaragua. After reviewing the condi-
ton OF affairs along the line of the canal.
the committees report says: The com.
mittee deems 1t but fair to an enterprise of
such magnitude that it should be given rea-
sonabie time to demonstrate that those who
have undertaken ii are prosecuting the
same in good faith, and that in their early
movements they ought not to be hampered
by captious and carping critics. 1t would
be gross breach of faith for the United
States government to permit any en-
barrassment of the project by considering
unfounded propositions from any source
for the repeal of the company's charter.
