Attending Physicians Pronounce Senate

Hearst's Case Hopeless.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Hearst
has now been given up by the doctors and
members of his own family. Blood poison
ing has set in, and he may die at any mo-
ment. 1t is generally believed that he will
not live three days. The technical name of
his malady which was suDerinduced by the
stomach trouble, is uremic poisoning. DR..
Ward of New York, au old friend of the
family, ard consulting physician of DR..
Lincoln in this city, was telegraphed for
last night, and he arriy ed this morning. lie
has no hesitation in saying that Senator
HearstS case IS hopeless, but he declines to
state ow many hours he may live.
Mrs. Hearst has all along refused to be-
lieye that her husband was as bad off as re-
ported by the newspapers. She thought his
trouble was only kind Of Inflammation of
the stomach. The doctors did not disclose
the Senator's real condition to her, well
knowing that il would only worry her, and
that Senator Hearst, seeing the distress in
her face, would Sufmise its cause, and would
suffer in consequence. Up to wask ago W.

and would get well, but last Friday his con-
verSation showed that he had full knowl-
edge. OF Senator Hearst'S true condition.

An Inquiry to Be Made Into the New Organ
ization Of Presidents.

An Inquiry to Be Made Into the New Organ
ization Of Presidents
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The Committee
ON Railroads of the House held an extra ses-
sion to-day TO consider the resolution sub
mltted four days ago by Anderson of Kan
sas, which directs the Interstate Commerce
commission to inquire into the nature of the
organization recently formed by the Presi-
dents OF some Western railroads. The reso-
luton directs the commission to not only
hnd out the extent of the organization, but
to report whether or not the existing law
relating to combines reaches far enough to
protect the people against any increased
freight rates. If the present law is not
broad enough to reach the organization, in
tue opinion OF the commission, they are to
report what legislation is necessary to face
the emergency.
The hearing before the committee this
morning was quite interesting. 1t called
out number of railroad attorneys and
others interested. Anderson addressed the
committee for an hour, saying that IN urging
a favorable report lie was doing all in his
power to protect the people in the great
region west of Chic go and ST. Louis from
undue raiload burdens. He was safe in
saving that the organization had not been
formed to benefit the people. 1t had been
formed to benefit the members OF the Organi-
Zatl0n ana upon the statement Of Jay Gould
that 1t was intended to increase their earn
ings. 1t was matter in which one-third OF
the people were interested directly or indi-
rectiy, and many of these interested were
pioneers, who were not able to protect
themselves aud not able to bear new heavy
burdens.
The speech was most earnest appeal for
q favorable report. The committee decided
to report fayorably after short consulta-
ton. The report will be submitted to the
House possibly tomorrow, and it is esti-
mated by some of the most conservative
that it will be passed in that body in re-
sponse to the general uprising and agitation
against combines, pools and railroads. The
delegations from the Western States have
received many petitions aud communica-
tons concerning the matter and have been
urged to take some action to protect the
Great West from the injuries that threaten
TO develop from She new arrangement.

Damaging Charges Against the PaG fC Rail-
way Company Of Los Angeles.

CHICAGO, Jan. % The hints at start
ling revelations in the disastrous invest
ments by {. Il. Holmes in the Pacific Rail
way Company OF Los Angeles, Cal, merged
into something tangible this evening when
Attorney Mayer fled six suits IN ssumpsit,
with Charles Whitacre ana Robert Law as
plaintiffs, against Holmes and the Pacific
Company for damages aggregating $35O,OOo.
"lhese SUITS" said Mayer, ''are only the
beginning. After various conferences by
the parties who invested in the Pacific
company, it was decided this afternoon to
bring suit to recover. Whitacre is repre-
senllng number of banks that loaned
Money to Holmes and the Pacific company
to carry on the Los Angeles enterprise.
For these loans Holmes gave their notes
secured by what purpOrted TO be the first
mortgage bonds of the Pacific company,
but which we claim to have proved almost
yalueesS.
" Robert Laws connection with the deal
Is the same as that of the banks. He too!r
these bonds as security for loans to Holmes
& Co., agsregating $150.000."
Attorney Mayer asserts that the appoint
ment of Bugue to the receivership was SIM
ply ruse to enable Holmes and his friends
to get possession of the road.
