MR.. GOULD TALKS PLAINLY.
HE DOES NOT WANT TO BREAK UP THE
WESTERN TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION.
sT1LL THE IDEA HAS ENTERED HIS MIND-NoT
AFRAID OF ANY RIvALs-coNTINUING
HIS JOURNEY TO THE PACIFIC.

Denver, April 10 (SpeciaD.--Jay Gould and his
party arrived in Denver last night from Kansas
City. Two years has elapsed since Mr. GouId
last visited Denver, and he expressed surprise
at the progress this city has made. instead OF
going out driving this afternoon with the others
Of his party, Mr. Gould decided to give vent 10
his feelings, and talked to an interviewer freely
He said:
$50 much has been printed concerning this
present trip of mine that have no objection to
being placed in the right light. 1 wish to en-
phaticallv DENY that | am seeking to disrupt the
Western Traffic Association. While don't deny
that such thing has entered my mind more than
once, still it would not be policy for me to do
so. Don't think for a moment that | am afraid
to attempt such thing. l dare anything
The Santa Fe and Rock Island are often in print
as very great rivals. 1t is bosh. for reasons both
Messrs. Manvil and Cable can explain. Neither
one Of these two roads dare make a move without
consulting AS for my diverting traffic that
naturally belongs to the Union Pacific to the
Missouri Pacific, the story is absolutely untrue.
I know TO my own knowledge that the Missouri
Pacific has turned over to the Union Pacific twice
as much business as the former has received from
the latter
There will be no change in the present traffic
arrangement with the Chicago and Northwestern,
because it would not be policy.
AS for extending the Missouri Pacific west,
work Is progressing favorably and within year
hope to have o short line from Denver to Ogden
whereby over 800 miles will be saved. 1 am
amused at reports in various papers in which my
present trip is connected with that of the Van
derbilt party / will not meet them West. They
are not on a pleasure trip, as reported, but en-
deavoring to learn something regarding the man
ner in which our Western systems are conducted.
They can never get control of the Chicago and
Northwestern. Mark that! 1t would not sur
prise me to have them build branches from
the Canadian Pacific down this way some day,
] am much pleased with the Union Pacific, for it
is moneymaker My present visit West is
simply one of inspection"
Mr. Gould and party left here tonight for Chey-
enne from where they proceed TO the Pacific.
George Gould has intimated that in case the
Missouri Pacific was built to Ogden and no salts
factory understanding could be reached with the
Southern Pacific, that line would be paralleled.
Previous to his departure, President Moatt OF the
Denver and Rio Grande, assured Mr.. Gould that
a traffic arrangement could be made which would
prove agreeable to both parties.

I,cIrded in the above table are the appro-
prated TO pay Off the canal debt, appropriations wmcn
we're not considered in dealing with the canaI cA-
penses earlier in this letter. This resolution of tho
state was followed by this question addressed to Mr.
Hannen:
Whether the expense the canals cannot be materially
lessened without impalrIng their usefulness
superintendent Hannen made the answer given DO
low TO that question.

their during the past few years IL hou ho' Do
forgotten the OF the canals as SHOWN
in the repots OF the Controller during the past seven years.
TINT IN the year 1884 the entered upon the policy
OF engtheninR the locks, and Otherwise improving tho
canal commencing with appropriation OF TSooVo 'Aao
year for this purpose followed by an appropriation OF
500 900 in 1886 S550C00 I'm 1887. $4,000 In ISS,
5000 900 in 1889 and $500 900 $780, for the pur-
poses These appropriations and Others consequent upon
the scheme OF improvement thus entered upon, have
sweed apparently the expenses chargeable TO the canal
but this increase should not be attributed 70 he cost Of
their operation and ma,nhnance.
Mr. Hannen cannot excuse the increase in canal
appropriations in this II Is not attributable
to the appropriations for lenghenng the locks Take
| the year 1880, for instance. In that year 100000
was appropriated for the ordinary expenses and main
tenance OF the canals 1927 ,7G6 10 for other canal
work. and only S297, 80 SO for lenghenlng the locks
II thus appears tna 81 43G 705 10 Appropriated
for canal work, exclusive Of the money for lock
lengthenng. This is large increase when compared
with 1882 when the total appropriations for all kinds
canal work amounted to only Ss33.764 81 but then
az that time there Republican Governor and .
Republican Superintendent Of Public Works Here is
an increase In the cost Of canal work between 1882
and 1882 only years amounting TO Seo3oo3 40.
1t is wonder perhaps, that Governor Hill and every
other leading Democrat here resists investigation
the canal accounts for the last eight years.
and prefers that the Legislature should do no moro
business rather than that such an investigation should
be made.
Now and then some revelation has been made about
the Canal Departments contracts which has excited
much suspicion. Thus In 1859 the people Of the state
were greatly astonlshed 10 discover in the annual re-

In 1890 there was appropriated 100000 for this
purpose, and bill has passed the Senate appropriate
Ing $500,O00 for the same object, which Will un-
dOubtedly also pass the Assembly. This will add
s1lOooOo to the Il ,525 45O raising the grand total
of canal appropriations in twelve years to Si5,-
041 076 49, 1t will be remembered that there is not
included in It's amount the money appropriated for
bridges auI culverts and other extra canal work in
the yeors 1890 and 1891. If these appropriations
were included they would bring up the grand total
appropriated for work upon the canals in twelve years
to S15,500OO2.
The books of the Superintendent of Public Works
showing how the greater part OF this S15,o0o0oo has
been expended surely ought to be inspected by
legislative committee AS the accounts OF an honest
cashier are inspected without objection by him, so
also ought the Superintendent Of Public Works to well
come an Investigation. 1t is to be suspected, how
ever that a superintendent who owes his appointment
to Edward Murphy, jr of Troy, chairman OF the
Democratic state Committee, and has since been
running the canals for all the politics there Is In
them" is not at all desrous of an investigation by
the Legislature into his actions The increase in tho
appropriations for canal culvers and bridges under
Mr. Hannen and his Democratic predecessor, james
stranahan is startling. For this kind Of work there
was appropriated in 1880 only S23,500 In 1889 these
appropriations ran up to the amazing sum OF
sG27 76s 10. Such an astonishing increase excites
a reasonable suspicion that new canal ring OF canal
contractors exists, who pay toll to the Democratic
state Committee and who rewarded with rich
contracts. The astonishing increase in the number Of
these appropriations would also Indicate that tho
contractors and brGge-buders are artifcally Great
