nous floating debt OF the Union Pacific IS

reach home from the west next week. and
soon after hls arrival.it is predicted, Union
Pacific affairs will begin TO move. The
present understanding in Wall street is
that J. Pierpont Morgan consented to act
As trustee in the proposed fund raising
scheme only after eXdctlQg from Russell

road. One Of those concessions, it IS be
lieved, i the presidency OF the road, and
some OF the knowing ones in the street
insist that Mr. Morgan has selected his
able lieutenant. Samuel Spencer, to sue
cssi President Dillon.
In their eaZerUesS to avert a receivership
for the Union Pacific, Russell Sage aud
George Gould. II is said, accepted every
condition imposed by Mr.. Morgan.
Watcher Mr.. Jay Gould will sanction such
radical concessions remains TO be seen.

cessor to Nc. Bragg is appointed from
Texas, as now appears among the proba

the commissionership is considerably
better than that of congressman, As it is

that Congressman Culberson, of Texas,
can have the appointment if he will take
it. Ex- United States Senator Maxey is
