PACIFIC RAILROADS.
President Adams,s opinion of th'
Frye Hill.

/
|, Frye Bill.
|, WASHINGTON, March IT, Charles
Francis Adams appeared before the
House committee on Pacific railroads this
morning, and submitted printed reports
OF the arguments previously made by
him. He then discussed the Frye bill.
That bill, he said, placed the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific in different
relations to the Government. AS mat
ter of principle the Union Pacific could
make no objection to that course. The
Central Pacific never had and never
would have the local trade which the
Union Pacific possessed. The question
was whether the burden should be pro.
portionate to the strength of the COM
panies. He always maintained that in
dealing with the Pacific railroads the
Government, 30 far as it's contract was
concerned had divested itself of it's
sovereignty, and dealt with them as o
banker or individual would do. The
Government was justified in saying that
the Union Pacific, in view of its situa-
| tion, should bear heavier burden than
the Central Pacific could bear without
being crushed. He did not object to the
general provisions of the Frye bill, nor
insist that the Union Pacific should be
placed on equal terms with the Central
Pacific, neither was he here to say that
the terms imposed on the Central Pacific
were too lenient; on the contrary, hs
was obliged to say the provisions of the
bill imposed as heavy load as the Cen.
tral Pacific could bear. He did not think
that the Union Pacific would be willing
to take the property of the Central Pa
cific with heavier load than the Frye
bill imposed upon it. The Frye bill was
a good and fair bill in many respects,
but there were few material points ia
which he would like to see it modified.
He was forced to the conclusion that
the burden which the Frye bill imposed
upon the Union Pacific was too severe
and too heavy. He cid not think he
would be willing to be- responsible for
the results of the future if the conditions
of that bill we're imposed on the COM
pany, especially at this time. It was
not the interest of the Government or
the people that the Union Pacific should
cease from being q dividend-paying
stock, and become a speculative stock
cease to be an Investment stock and be-
come Wall.street stock. 1t was not in
the interest of the Government nor OF
the Union Pacific that the company
should be launched on long voyage Of
fifty years, weighted down to the water
line 30 that those who navigated the
craft should spend half the time clinging
to the rigging in order to save them-
selves from every wave that swept over
the deck. The Frye bill was loading the
company down to the water.line beyond
what he considered the limits of safety.
Adams eaid the Frye bill was in the
interest of the States through which the
Union Pacific passed, although the peo-
pie of those States did not zee it. They
had an idea that anything which helped
tho railroad injured them. This was an
erroneous idea. The company, in it's
desire to get liberty, was forced to the
very limit of safety, and at times he had
hesitated whether it was worth the com.
pany's while to accept the provisions oi
the bill.

Am Interesting supreme COURT Do
cfSi0n-Other Notes.

INOeCHs
WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE Supreme
Court today rendered q decision in an
interesting case, growing out of the acts
OF the fifteenth session of the Idaho
Legislature. The appellants alleged
that they declared the Council and
House of representatives. adjourned at
midnight after session of sixty days,
this being the limit of the Legislative
session under the Congressional law.
They assert that some members Of each
House remained behind and elected new
presiding officers and passed a NUM- Der
OF acts. They sued to have these acts
declared null and void, and the proceed
ings expunged from the records. The
Idaho Supreme Court denied the appli
cations, and this court atfirms
the judgment. The court says in
part "The safety of our in
stitutions depends in consider
able measure upon the legislative
executive and judicial departments being
kept separate, and upon none of them
infringing on the others. 1t is not one o1
the functions OF the court to inquire
into the record of legislative body, and
to determine whether body assuming
to be Legislature, is legal or not. A
suit presenting this question might per-
haps arise in some case growing out ol
an act passed by the Legislature, but the
court does not pass in the present case
upon how far it would be justified in such
suits in inquiring into the validity of the
Legislature, as the case at issue does moi
require it to do So"
TRACY AND PARTY RESCUED.
The Navy Department has information
to the effect that Secretary Tracy and
friends have been taken aboard the
United States Fish Commission steamer
Fish Hawk, and are now on their way to
Norfolk. The United States ship Dis.
patch is still aground on the shoals of
Cedar Point. Government tugs have
gone to her assistance.

Its Provisions Further Modified

WASHINGTON, March 17.-Eleven mem.
bers OF the House committee on coinage,
weights and measures were present to-
day when the Window Silver bill was
again under discussion. An amendment
by Bartine, providing for free coinage
when the price of silver reaches 81 for
371.25 grains of pure silver, was adopted
by majority vote.
Williams offered an amendment
(adopted) striking out tine section author
izing the Secretary of the Treasury to
suspend temporarily the receipt of silver
bullion at any time when he is satisfied
that through a combination or specula-
tive manipulation of the market, the
price OF silver is arbitrary, nominal or
fictitious.
The motion by Bartine providing that
the notes issued for silver bullion de.
posits shall be redeemed upon demand
in lawful money, was lost. A motion to
reconsider was made, which was pend.
ing when the hour for adjournment ar
rived.
The bill goes over until Monday. As
several members of the committee were
absent from the mornings meeting,
what has been done today may be re-
called and amended at next meeting.

The Chinese enumeration Bill
Passed-Uther Enactments.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-In the
House today. on motion of McKenna, of
California. the Senate bill was passed
with an amendment striking out the ap.
preparation clause) increasing from $3.50,
600 to 100000 the limit of the cost of
the public building at Sacramento.
McKenna, under instructions from the
committee on Eleventh Census, moved
to suspend the rules and pass the bill
authorizing the Superintendent OF Census
to enumerate the Chinese population in
such manner as to enable him to COM
plete al accurate descriptive list of all
the Chinese in the United States,
at the time of taking the census,
and give each person 80 enumerated
q certificate containing particulars neces.
eary to fully identify him, and such GER
tifcates shall be the sole evidence of the
right of the person to be and remain in
the United States. The bill further pro-
vides penal statutes against Chinese who
shall cell, transfer or dispose of such
certificates. The Gum of $3.50, 900 is ap.
propriated to carry out the provisions OF
the bill, which was passed without di'
vision.
Morrow addressed the House on the
bill, explaining it's provisions and the
reasons why certificates should be given.
He showed how the Scott Chinese Ex-
clusion act was null and void, and
claimed that as many Chinese laborers
came into the country now as before the
adoption of the Scott law. He believed
that if the bill was passed the coming OF
this class could be checked, if not stop
ped. If Chinese laborer could not
show certificate, then he should be re-
turned.
Clunie followed. He said the Pacific
Coast demanded the exclusion of all
Chinese, including merchants, and
would only allow members of the Chinese
legation to enter.
Under suspension of the rules the fol.
lowing bills and resolutions were passed
