POSTAL TELEGRAPHY.
Postmaster General Wanamaker
Writes Another Letter.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-With the ap-
proval of the committee on postoffices
and post roads Chairman Bingham has
made public the following letter from
Postmaster General Wanamaker. adj
dressed last Friday to Representative
Evans, the chairman of the subcom-
mittee on postal telegraph.
81 learn with great pleasure that you
intend, as chairman of the subconl-
mittee on postal telegraph, to ask the
general committee to-day to vote upon
the question of reporting the bill to the
house. The long time that has elapsed
since the hearings before the COM
mittee began, and the widespread
public interest in the question,
as evidenced by the communications to
the department seem to warrant the ex-
pectation that early action will be taken.
ANY decision of your committee will at
least let the people know where postal
telegraphy stands. l find in the records
of the forty-seventh congress the able
report of Mr.. Bingham to the house of
representatives favOring postal telegra-
ply, which l append because it is so
full of information showing how the
Western Union came to get its great
power and the need of some interven-
lion in the peoples behalf. 1t is true
the argument is in favor of
the buying or building of telegraph
lines. but all the arguments apply
with equal force to the bill
now under consideration by your COM
mittee. call your special attention to
the following paragraph as germane to
the present time as much SO as if writ
ten yesterday: Objection has always
been made by the Western Union Tele-
graph company to the establishment of
a postal telegraph system controlled by
the United States government in con-
nection with the postofice service of the
country. and sundry attempts at the
establishment OF such postal system
have been defeated by the interpositlon
of agencies and influences unknown to
your committee have the honor to
be, etc."
Mr.. Bingham to-day said that the bill
to which the above letter refers was not
introduced by Mr.. Evans until the 18th
Of December last.

THEIR OWN MEDICINE,

Prescribed by DIR. Reed, Goes
Hard With the Republicans.
On the + publican side of the senate
are to be found not less than bakers
dozen of men who few short months
ago travelled from place to place in this
state defending not only the notorious
Mckinley bill. but also saying a good
word for Speaker Reed and his revolu-
tionary rules. Their tongues then
knew but one argument when Reed
was mentioned. 1t was:
1.-THE majority must rule"
But since that time everything polfti-
cally looks vastly different to such Re-
publicans as Senators Tawney, Day.
Sanborn, Dean, Stevens, Stockton and
John Day Smith. They came on to ST.
Paul last week expecting to be in the
majority and hence rule. They made
all sorts of dickers. or rather offered to
make them, to gain the support of sew
eral opposition senators and failed.
They then found that the opposition
proposed to embrace the great Repub-
lican principle of majority rule. aud to
carry this out passed resolution
taking the appointment of the commit
tees out of the hands of the lieutenant
governor. But, strange to say, this
"cOnverSiOn' or the wicked Alliance
and Democratic senators did not please
the Republicans at all, and the elo-
quence of Hon. John Day Smith, Sena-
tor Tawney and several others
was poured out ad libitum
for a full half day against
the resolution proposed by the Demo-
Gratis. In plain words, the Republicans
of the john Day Smith order believe in
majority rule as long as the Republi-
cans are in the majority, and not other
wise.
But the amusing part of this contest is
yet to be placed before the public.
The poor. weak and defenseless Re-
publican side decided in caucus held
yesterday afternoon to 'appeal' to the
people of the state. The caucus COM
mittee has prepared statement Of the
real cruel manner in which the Alliance
men united with the Democrats and de-
prived the Republicans of the power
they have held SO long that they fancied
it was theirs by right divine. This state
ment is to be published in the few Re-
publican party organs yet In existence,
and is expected to be trump card in
the way of campaign document. 1t

dali returns to the city, and Is now in

PACIFIC RAILROADS.
Senator Frye's Committee Hears
Reports From Officials.


WASHINGTON, Jan. Is. = Senator
Frye's select commmlttee on Pacific
railroads was called together to-day in
order to hear further argument upon
the bill already reported from the COM
mittee to secure repayment of the gov
ernment Indebtedness of the Union and
Central Pacific Railroad companies.
The Union Pacific Railroad company
was represented by Jeremiah Wilson,
who said, in substance, that as result
of the recent reorganization Of the COM
pany,; the management now found ITSELF
unable to accept the terms formerly
agreed to by it, and embodied in
the bill reported. The financial cOndi-
tion and future prospects of the Union
Pacific would not warrant it in Obllgat-
ing itself to meet such heavy payments
as were proposed. Mr.. Wilson elab-
Grated this argument at length, and con-
cluded with the statement that the COM
pany would accept a proposition to re-
fund it's debt at 215 per cent interest.
the payment to be based upon term OF
100 years instead of 8 per cent and SO
years, as proposed in the bill. The
Central Pacific Railroad company was
also represented at the meeting by
President Huntington. He made no
argument, and confined himself to
answering few questions. But
upon hearing Mr. Wilson's proposition
he said that if more liberal terms were
granted to the Union Pacific company,
the Central Pacific should be also af-
forded the same indulgence. Inasmuch
as it's earnings and prospects were be-
low those of the Union Pacific, if better
terms were grunted that road, the Cen
tral Pacific debt (ixed in the bill for a
100 years and two per cent INTEREST,"
should be favored in corresponding
degree by a further reduction OF inter-
est and extension of time. 1t this were
done, he would be willing to apply part
of the earnings of the Southern Pacific
railroad toward the repayment of the
debt of the Central Pacific.
