THE IRISH ARIES rs,
Various Opinions on the Object OF Bal
1our's Latest Break.

LONDON, Sept. 49, - The arrest of the
Irish leaders yesterday fills con-
spicuous place in the newspapers
this morning. Various explanations are
promised to account for Balfour's stroke
The commonest one on the liberal press is
that its object was to prevent Dill
lon and O'Brien from going to Amer
lea. The conservatives, however, scout
this idea. They see in his present policy
lnuuaole eitort to prevent the recurrence Of
disorder in Ireland.
O,Brien said this morning that he could
not imagine what lnfatuation had driven the
government TO make the arrest 1t is easy to
see, he thought, what they are driv-
ing at, at, .n Ihey. are making an effort
tenants for concerted action. This they ex-
pect to accomplish, he thought by simuta-
neous clearnnces on estates where the plan of
campaign has been adopted. The evicted
tenants they calculate on having helpless at
their feet.
But can such a policy be successfuln
o 'Brien was asked.
"No, he replied. "It is piece of incon-
celyable folly"
1T is held by many correspondents that
the main purpose of Balfour in making the
arrests at this time is 10 prevent you from
making your trip to America
THAT does not seem probable theory to
me- replied O'Brien. 'But il il is true, q
more absurd calculation was never made,
even by the present chief secretary for Ire
land. Far from preventing our appeal to
America, he has made one for US in q most
striking way"

A GIGANTIC RAILROAD DEAL.
The Southern Pacific, Missouri Pacific and
Atchison Combination.
A DEFENSIVE AND OFFENSIVE ALLIANCE.
President Marvel of the Atchison
Denies the Purchase of the Rio
Grande West,rn-Tbe South
western Association.

CHICAGO, Sept 19.-TSpecial Telegram to
The Bee. The railway news bureau says
that little by little the details of one of the
most gigantic railroad deals in history are
coming to light. 1t seems impossible to get
all the particulars, as they are fully known
only 10 few railroad presidents and such
banking firms as Kidder Peabody & Co..
Drexcl Morgan & Co, and Barring Brothrrs.
The known facts are that the Southern Pa
cific, Missouri Pacific and Atchison systems
have come TO such close undelstan ding that
they are to all intents and pur-
poses under one management. The
alliance is not only defensive,
but offensive. 1t is a perfectly open secret
that the Southern Pacific holds the most cor
dial hatred toward the Union Pacific and
never turns over to that road pound of un-
consigned freight. The Atchison has of late
come to hate the Rock Island as cordially,
and the bold coup of buying the Colorado
Midland completely blocks the Rock Island
from the formation of its contemplated trans
continental line. On top Of all this comes an
alleged interview with Rio Grande Western
officials that the AtchsSon has bought their
road. President Marvel of the Atchison
emphatically denied this report to-
day, however, though acknowledging
the purchase of the Colorado Mid LAND He
admitted the inconsistency also of the A tchi-
son buying the Colorado Midland without IA
thorough understanding with the Rio Grade
Western people. That this understan ding
exists was learned later. 1t appears that be-
fore rail of the Colorado Midland was laid
castiron perpetual contract was drawn up
giving the Colorado Midland mileage rights
from its junction to Ogden. This contract is
binding, no matter who owns the Colo RADIO
Midland, and, as a consequence, it is per-
fectly unnecessary for the Atchison
to spend dollar for Rio Grande
! Western securities let alone buying
controlling interest in its 100000, 600 of Sc
| curities. The fact is plain that the AtchisOn
| now has two transcontinental lines connect
ing at Moiave and Ogden with the Southern
| Pacific.
The full list Of members of the Southwest

Senate,

WASHINGTON, Sept. lS.--In the senate today
MIR. Plumb's resolution to commit the bank
ruptcy bill to the judiciary committee, with
instructions to amend it by making it apply
to voluntary bankruptcy only, was taken up
After discussion it was placed on the calen-
dar, the matter not to be brought up again
this session.
Mr.. Voorhees, introduced joint resolution
for an immediate increase of silver money by
the purchase and coinage Of 10000, 600 ounces
of silver at price below $l2,029 within the
next thirty days, this purchase to be in ad-
dition to the amount required by the existing
law, Referred to the finance committee
The senate then proceeded to consideration
of executive business.
When the doors were reOpened the senate
passed number of bills, including the house
bill to discontinue the coinage of 50 and 81
gold pieces and the Scent nickle piece.
The house bill to reduce the amount of
United States bonds required of national
banks and to restore to the channels of trade
the excessive accumulationS of lawful money
in the treasury having been reached on the
calendar, Mr. Sherman said it's passage
would help to quiet the presen agitation in
the money market, and undoubtedly the eff
iect OF the bill would be not only to proong
but tencourage the national bank system
Mr., Plumb feared the bill would finally re-
suit in contraction of the currency While
he agreed that the national banking system
was wise and oughtto be continued, it was
plain to be seen that it was long to be contin-
ued, 1t was plain to be seen that it was not
long to be system having relation to the
currency. The banks themselves wanted to
get out of that business. Congress could not
afford TO let the national bank currency dis
appear without supplying currency
in its place, He believed that the
business of the country was greater
peril than for years from lack of sufficient
circulating medium.
Mr., Power moved to strike out the first
section, reducing to 81 900 deposits to retain
charters.
After further discussion the bill went over
till tomorrow.
