A New York dispatch says the Union
Pacific will certainly enter San Francisco,
though local officials deny persist entity the
truthfulness of this statement. 1t is said
that President Adams and Col. John Nc.
Cook, who represent the Santa Fe sys-
TEN, have been exchanging visits between
New York and Boston quite frequently OF
late. the chief topic of all heir meetings
being a deal whereby the Union Pacific
will make a close connection and traffic
alliance for Frisco with the Atlantic g.
Pacific road at Moiave. By thus pooling
their issues the two corporations will
build a new line paralleling the Southern
Pacific into San Francisco. Mr.. YerrinR-
ton is quoted as SAYING emphAticslly that
this plan has been agreed upon and will
certainly be oonsummated as quickly as
nosslhle.

between the bear and the mountain lion
when recess came"
There are several house members who
cannot rightly lay claim to being grad
yates of a parliamentary law school, but
Speaker Downey bears with the %uniniti-
ated.
A Republican member yesterday said
he would early present a rule amendment
which would limit the number of times
for a member to speak in committee of
whole to twenty-seyen.
After the house adjourned last evening
big and little guns OF the Republican
side were herded into a committee room
BY Messrs. Hebard, Adams and Schnit-
ger for a caucus.
Each OF the two chairmen of the COM
mittee of the whole house yesterday had
a presiding popularity. Mr.. Hebard
called for votes on bills before the meas
ures were read and Mr.. Atherly insisted
on the authority of the house to divide a
question.

ON PUBLIC MONEY
MI. Adams has presented to the house
the Colorado law on the matter of inter.
est on public moneys. 1t makes the
treasurers of cities and towns, school dis
tricts, counties and territory simply trus
tees for the funds consigned to their care.
If they receive or use any interest pun
ishment by imprisonment and fine fol
lows. There shall be punishment in
the same manner of corporations or in
dividuals receiving interest from public
money. This is the law which has in
some mysterious way made Colorado the
most notorious Doodle state in the Union.
BoUNTIEs.
There were two sessions of the commit
tee of the whole house on the substitute
for all bounty bills 80 far presented in
either branch. Mr.. Atherly presided in
the morning and Mr.. Hebard in the after
noon.
Nearly every member spoke to the
question and while there was a heap of
levlty the bill received thorough consider
alton of the sort the house gives when it
is really and truly in earnest.
Carbon county was opposed to bounties
first, last and all the time.
MI. Adams thought the hunting of the
pests should be by private enterprise and
on request recounted the result OF the big
wolf hunt here last year.
MI. Jesurun was in favor of a small
bounty, as were also Messrs. Brown and
Mccormick.
Mr.. Burritt held out for a bounty which
would induce determination of the pests.
Mr.. Bowie wanted a good bounty law.
MIR. Kellogg urged the house to set a
price on the scalps of bears and mountain
lions, but his prayer was refused.
These bounty figures were established:
For coyotes, rs cents; for gray or black
wolves. 81 .50. 1t appeared during the
discussion that the bill would meet local
needs in certain cases, but would fail to
effect in many instances. Mr.. Rankin
said coyotes and wolves did no damage in
Carbon county, while Mr.. Bowie told of
the killing of 200 calves during the past
year. 1t was argued that the skin of a
lion or bear was sufficient reward for the

In country produce there are but
few changes to note this week. Eggs
are in fair demand at unchanged
prices. Both Southern and Eastern
dealers think they will go lower after
Easter. In fact, we notice they are
weaker and slightly lower in both
Nashville and New York on account
of the near approach of Easter. We
make no changes here until we are
compelled to do so by actual facts.

Corrected from the Nashville american
every Thursday evening.
The trade in a general way is NOV
ing along in a fair volume, though
no special activity lis noted in any
particular department. Wholesale
people generally express themselves
as well satisfied with the situation,
but, as a rule, are taking very con-
sentative positions with reference to
supplying the spring trade. Collec-
tons are fair under existing condi-
tons.
The market for groceries shows no
changes today. All staple values
are steady except in iron goods,
which are rather weak than other
wise. Provisions are firm at quota
tons. Country produce prices re-
main as on yesterday. The demand
for eggs for shipment has fallen of
materially and prices are .fractionally
lower. After Easter a sharp decline
may be expected. Choice country
butter is in good request, and outside
figures are paid for a No. | article.
Poultry Is in moderate request.
There is a good Southern demand
for corn and a fair demand for feed
