THE UNION PACIFIC.
Questions Under Consideration at Meeting

Questions Under Consideration at a Meeting
of the Executive Committee.
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The Executive Com
mittee Of the Union Pacific Railway held a
meeting at the Office of Jay Gould to-day.
Gould said. after the meeting: "The ques-
ton of considering the floating debt of the
Union Pacific has not been altogether the
subject OF the Executive Committees delib-
erations. The Union Pacific is all right,
and the earnings OF the road are greater than
ever The nature of the meeting Today was
largely to discuss the advisability OF calling
conference of the various railroad Presi-
dents. The object of the conference would
have no other significance than the promo
ton of harmony and good fellowship among
railway officials, so that they would be a
unit in the event of generalization in rates.
Such a conference would be power in pre-
cluding the possibility Of the recurrence of
any sort of generalization. Many days will
not pass before that conference will be held"
DuW-J0nes quotes an operator in Union
Pacific as saying: 1T seems reasonably cer-
tain that Gould did not buy any great
amount of stock. He did something of
value to the company in connection with
the floating debt, although hear the amount
proves larger than lie anticipated. If the
Union Pacific recently owed anything Ike
S20,OOO,COO 1t is quite certain the amount
cannot be liQuidated without removing the
stock still further from any hope of divi-
dends."

this afternoon for Chicago to be present at

which amount he got back as winner of the
race, Noble getting S25o0 additional as win

taken the night before the race to shop

John Splan to drive. but Splan refused, and
next day told Nelson that he had been paid
$500 by Noble not TO dive Nelson. The
upshot was that Nelson had to drive him.

than the regulation weight, and this, with
the bad track, constituted serious handi-

case Of the race being aN arded to Nelson
that Noble might have the premium won by
the victor. Nelson says he knew this friend

(Nelson's) horse from combinations, and so
he agreed to the arrangement. Nelson won

seven feet at low tide be given, and that the
channel be wdened in order to accommodate
larger class of vessels, both steam and
