JIM Hedeuberg will Testify saturday.

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-J. M. Heidelberg. of
this city, whose name came before the
silver pool Investigating committee lately,
said to day he will testify before the com
mittee on Saturday. In the interview he
says he has no personal knowledge of the
existence of silver pool, but believes
such pools have existed and may still exist.
When he was dealing in silver bullion Ger
tifcates he sought to learn of the existence
of such pools believing the parties con-
nected with them would have reliable in
formation rgarding facts that might inf1u
ence the market. He was unable to open
communication with such parties, however.
Heidelberg said to his mind The evidence
that partisan political influences controlled
the silver legislation is strong and conclu-
sive. The leaders OF both parties evidently
considered less the interests of the country
than the interests of their parties
When asked is he had attempted directly
or Indirectly by the use Of money or any
other means, to influence silver legisla-
ton, Hedenberg said he had expended
considerable money in this line, of which
he is quite willing to give the committee
| full knowledge. His last act, he said, was
communication addressed to Speaker
Reed regarding the bill now in committee
and he said the speaker no doubt will be-
willing to give the committee any facts
| connected Herewith.

AUentral Pacific Railway Decision.

WASHINGTON, Jan, 26.-The supreme
court has announced decision reversing
the Judgment of the court of claims, award
ing the Central Pacific railway Sl9S, Cpl in
its suit against the United States. The
question upon which the case turned was
whether or not, under the Thurman act,
IN computing the net earnings of the com
pany, there should first be taken out the
expenses incurred, not for running the
road and for repairs, but for betterments
and improvements whereby the permanent
value of the road is increased. This court
holds that these expenses cannot under
the Thurman act, be taken out in COM
putting the net earnings, and says that the
language of the act seems to preclude any
charges for Improvements being taken out
of the gross receipts before deciding the
amount the government shall retain for the
sinking fund.
A motion was made to-day in the supreme
court by Solicitor General Taft to advance
for argument about ffty-seven cases OF

country at San Francisco in violation OF
the Chinese exclusion act. Tue China

MINERS Version of His Recall.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 26.-Mizner, ex-
minister to Guatemala, who was recalled
by Secretary Blaine be cause of his attitude
in the Barrundia case, makes public his
reply to the secretary's letter of recall
Miner regrets the hasty action of the
House of Representatives in calling for
the papers in the case before the committee
had fully investigated it, as he could have
explained everything satisfactorily. He
cites Secretary Bayard's action in the
Gomez case and says he (Mizner) was
ruled by that in the Barrundia affair. Bar
rundia was citizen and political offender
against the laws of Guatemala besides
being indicted for common crimes He
came voluntarily into the Jurisdiction of
Guatemala on merchant steamer. The
captain of the steamer asked him (Mizner)
for instructions and he advised the officer
to surrender Barrundia if his ship was
within one league of the territory of Guat-
emala. Miner says if there is any differ
ence between the two cases it is in favor of
Guatemala, who made the arrest on the
ground of Barrundia being both a political
and common crimes offender, and sustains
him (Mizner) in giving advice to the CAP
tain. The minister stated the entire
diplomatic corps Of Central America, ex
cepting Mexico, indorses his course in the
Barrundia affair.

Members.
THEY ARE OPPOSED TO INGALLS,.
The Grand Army is Working Like Beavers
for His Re-election-New York's Posi-
ton on the Force Bill.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 26.-[Special telegram
to THE HERALD. Commercial and rail
way circles were shocked and surprised
this evening with the recei of of a manifesto
IRON the Union Pacific to the effect that
as the city Of Omaha had seen lit to enioin
the delivery of the S150,000 of Union de-
pot bonds owing to the refusal of the
Union Pacific to permit the Rock Island
and Milwaukee to enter the city over its
bridge, the company would make no effort
TO have the bonds delivered aud would not
erect the Union depot, or least for awhile.
The statement is lengthy and signed by the
general attorney, Thurston. This is re-
2arded as only another scheme resulting
from the bridge complications, and an OPP
portuuity for Gould to iniure Omaha's COM
1nerce in return for the interest the city
has manifested in the success of the other
corporations to cross the Union Pacific
bridge.

by their state legislatures to vote for a

voted against it. After some further dis
