commissioner Of railroads, has submitted
special report to the secretary Of the in
terror in reply TO letter from Senator
Frye, chairman of the select committee on
Pacific railroads, requesting lis views in
regard to enactiug into law the senate bill
for refuudiug the Indebtedness OF the Pa
oidc roads. The roads in aid Of whose con-
strgction the government issued bonds,
were the Union Pacific railroad, the Kan
sas Pacific railway, the central branch I'm
lon Pacific railroad, these three lines now
being a part of the Union Pacific system:
the Central Pacific railroad, the Western
Pacific railraad-these two lines now being
consolidated and forming q part Of tie
Central Pacific railroad-and the Sioux
City and Pacific railroad
Amounts Due the United States.
The total amount due the United States
Dee. 81, 1891, on bonds thus issued was:
From the Union Pacific, SIS, SOC, ASS; from
the Central Pacific, S55, OS9,112. The sub
sidy bonds begin to fall due Jan. Is, 1853,
and the last are due Jan. /, 1899. The
average date Of maturity is July /, 1877.
First mortgage bonds have also been is
sued on these roads, which constitute a
lien prior to that Of the United States,
amounting on the Union Pacific to s35,-
7o2, 600, and ON the Central Pacific to ST.
$4,000. The first mortgage bonds mature
at practically the same dates as the sub
sdy bonds.
The Roads Well Managed.
The commissioner says that he does not
believe any measures fixing a shorter peri
cd OF payment or higher rate of interest
than that provided in the senate bill will
be accepted by the railway companies. He
had interviews with the chief officials Of
the Union and Central Pacific roads, who
earnestly declared that they would agree TO
any conditions with which the resources Of
their companies would ensble them to com
ply. He contradicts the statements mads
that the managers Of the roads were allow
ing them to run down by neglect with the
intention If refusing a fair settlement and
allowing the government to foreclose its
hens. On the contrary, the roads have been
undergoing constant and rapid improve
nent for the last few yeara
Changes in the Senate Bill.
He suggests that the senate bill 10
amended as follows: Change the method OF
computation in ascertaining the present
worth Of the debts by compromising the in
terest for the time between the settlements
and the maturity OF the subsidy bonds
semi-annually, instead OF with two rests
only, as provided in the original bill Make
the rate of interest 2 per centum per an
mum from the start for q period of 100
years; insert special proviso requiring the
Onion Pacific Railway company to assign
30 the government certain mortgages, etc,
held in trust by DreIel, Morgan & Co. to
secure the payment Of notes given in set
Element Of floating debts.

In regard 10 the question Of time security
Mr.. Taylor said: 81 do not regard the

If the money is earning something and the
government sustains no loss by distribut-

years the extension covers. The question
Of security is OF paramount Importance

No Profit for the Government.
The roads secured would be only trunk

ties, impairs no existing obligations. II

served for some time to impart firm temper

were accompanied by a vigorous drive at that
