THE HEBREW REFUGEES.

Not Wanted I'm England, They Will Go
to America, Brazil and Australia.
LONDON, April sa-The Pail Null Gazette gives
great prominence to q scheme which is said TO
have been drafted in order to transport He
hrews from Poland and from Southeastern
Europe to an immense tract of uninhabited
land in Australia or Brazil. Baron Hirsch. who
- credited with having originated this idea, is
said TO have had long conference in Paris this
week with the most able masters in labor. The
baron, according to the report, then decided TO
give s. 100000 himself with which to start the
project Full details as to his plan for whole
sale immigration is not given, but it Is under
stock Baron Hirsch will be supported in this
undertaking by other opuient Hebrews. The
adoption of this plan, it is asserted, is greatly
due to the fact of the United States closing her
ports to destitute persons. This decision comes
at an opportune moment from England, for the
new United States legislation against the i'm
migration Of destitute aliens might result in
converting the United Kingdom into dump
ing ground for all Hebrew refugees of Europe

To Cover Whole Union Pacific
With a Mortgage.
HIMSELF LENDS FIVE MILLIONS
Floating Indebtedness of Branches to
Be Funded by . New Loan.
The Ninth National Bank, OF New York.
Four Hundred Thousand Dollars
short Through an Error OF Its Re-
Gently Deceased President.

NEW YORK, April 2S.-TSpecial. THE
Sun is able to announce in advance of the
annual meeting of the Union Pacific rail-
way In Boston today the particulars of the
funding scheme that Jay Gould will
recommend for adoption, and which no
doubt will be accepted, inasmuch as Mr..
Gouid's friends are in power. The
matter has been widely discussed
ever since it leaked out three
monthe ago that Mr.. Gould was at work
on mammoth blanket mortgage of from
$50, 900 to $aO0, ,0oo, 900 that was to take
up all the outstanding securities of the
parent system and branch lines
and re-arrange the obligations of the
Union Pacific to the federal government.
Messrs. Gould and Dillon set their at
torneys at work on the project, and after
weighing it from all points of view, they
found that it would be impossible to issue
such blanket mortgage, in view of COM
plications in the debt to the government
that would require special legislation by
congress.
The obligations to the government will
therefore have to remain separate. What
Mr.. Gould and his associates finally de-
cided upon, and which will no doubt be
adopted today, is collateral trust mort
gage of $2A0O0.000 of the Union
Pacific Railway Company. Sc
cured by several of the best
class auxiliary companies, the bonds bear
ing 5 per cent. The chief purpose of this
collateral trust mortgage is to fund the
floating debt. which admittedly amounts
to upward of s1a, GOO, 600 The securities
taken up by the $25, ,0o0, ,00O mortgage are
those OF the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf,
Oregon Short Line and Oregon Railway &
Navigation Company. 1t may be authori-
tatiyely stated that Mr.. Gould intends to
take S, ,O00, 900 of the new bonds.
A Boston dispatch says: There was
private conference of railroad magnates in
this city today relative to the Union
Pacific funding schemes. Messrs. Gould,
Dillon and Dodge came on from New York
day in advance of the annual meeting to
get the views of the Boston directors as to
the best methods of reducing interest on the
company's bonds. The conference lasted
nearly all day, but nothing was given ont.
Mr.. Gould refused to be interviewed. II
is learned, however, that the Boston
directors are in general accord with the
mortgage scheme.
