UNION PACIFIC DEBT.
Propositions as to IA Feasible Settle
ment of the Question.

NEW YoRK, April 23.-Mr. Edward Rose
water, editor and proprietor of the Omaha
Bee and a member OF the republican ma
tional committee, has been in the city for
several days. one of the objects of his visit
being to collect figures regarding the
Union Pacific railroad debt. with which
congress will have to deal next winter.
Mr.. Rosewster said: "The Pacific rail-
road debt will mature within three years.
It's adjustment has been discussed in con.
0ress. but no definite conclusion has been
received. Congress next winter. however.
will be forced TO take action in the matter.
There are four propositions which may
They are:
l. Congress may let the road 60 to fore
closure under the first mortgage with the
chance Of recovering the money advanced by
the government should the road sell for more
than $33,00O,000.
2 Congress might extend the second mort
gage claim by funding the principal and inter
est IN default. conditioned upon an extension
for period equal 20 that of tho original nor..
gage. and this could only be done with the
consent of the first mortgage holders. its sue
cessful outcome being very doubtful.
.. Congress could authorize the issue OF
new bond for the whole debt and take "a first
mortgage on the main line.
4. Congress could pay the first mortgage
foreclose on the second tthe governme nt claim)
and take the road and operate it.
Mr.. Rosewater favors the first proposi-
ton, that congress let the road 20 10
foreclosure under the fret mortgage"
Some of the money" he said, would
undoubtedly be lost in this way, but
what of it? The road would be cleared
from all the complications which have
burdened it for twenty years. and it could
successfully compete with other roads,
thus greatly benefitting the people as the
result of reduced rates.
Besides, the development OF the west
ern country has more than paid back to
the government the money advanced, or
the difference between that advanced and
what would be lost as the result of a sale.
Unquestionably private individuals and
stock jobbers have fattened at the peo-
pies expense, owing to the Union Pacific
deals. but all possibility of that would he
stopped by the foreclosure OF the property.
Il think this will be largely in accord
with the sentiment in the West, though
some OF the popuist element may not
understand it at first. At all events, the
time has arrived for a settlement of this
Union Pacific business, which concerns
not only the West but large interests in
the East, and il should be intelligently
discussed before tho problem is submitted
to congress next winter"

OF damage but miraculously causing no

at the Missouri Pacific yards The opera

while the yardmen piled into train

were none too soon in getting away, for
presently the twister descended on the
southwest part OF the CITY. Rushing along

trees, scattered side walks eto., sweeping
the missiles before it. Before it reached
the more densely populated part of the
city the ugly visitor arose as quickly as it
came and passing over the city again

on "Personal' Advertisements.

Nallev Mills is a modest little village in
Decatur county and is seldom heard OF
but it is now enjoying a sensation OF no
small magnitude.
Myra Price. lady living near the town,
saw the advertisement of Charles Jacob

for an unknown correspondent. Havinga
tnge OF romance in her nature, Miss
Price wrote to him and in time received a
reply.
One letter followed another and finally
Jacob informed her that il was his inten.

and when the trees about Valley Mi Il as
sumed golden hue .he visit was made.
Jacob was fairly good looking in the eyes
OF Miss Price and he thought her q marvel

heels in love with her and, as she was
possessed OF large share of this worlds
goods. his love grew stronger and strong
or until he assured her that life without
her would be burden.
Jacob went back to his Ohio home, as
he said, TO pine away and die unless she
consented to become his wife.
A correspondence was kept up. and
after time March 80 was decided as the
wedding was grand air, and the good
old farmers for miles around came in to
congratulate the happy couple and wish
them much joy ms they trod the pathway
OF life. Some of them made presents, such
as bed quits. bushels OF potatoes. etc.
The wedding over plans for the future

and peace reigned over the household

take his vile and her relatives long to
discover that ho knew nothing whatever

They lived happily together and no

WASHINGTON. April 23.-To a reporter
Of the Associated Press the president said
tonight: The inclination on the part OF
the public to accept newspaper reports
concerning the intentions of those
charged with the management OF our ma
tional finances seems TO justify my en-
phatic contradictions of the statement
that the redemption of any kind of
treasury notes except in gold has at any
time been determined upon or contem-
plated by the secretary of the treasury
Or snv other member OF the pres
snt administration. The president
and his cabinet are absolutely harmoni-
Gus in the determination to exercise every
power conferred upon them TO main tain
the public credit 10 keep the public faith
and preserve the parity between gold and
silver and fulfill ali financial obliga-
tions of the government. While the law
of 1890 forcing the purchase OF fixed
amount OF silver every month provides
that the secretary OF the treasury. in his
discretion, may redeem in either gold or
silver the treasury notes given in pay
ment of silver purchases. yet the declara-
ton of the policy of the government to
maintain the parity between the two
metals seems so clearly to regulate this
discretion as to dictate their redemption
in gold.
''Of course perplexity and difficulties
have grown out OF an unfortunate finan-
cial policy which he found in vogue. and
embarrassments have arisen from ill
advised financial legislation confronting
US at every turn but with cheerful conf
dence among the people and patriotic
disposition to cooperate. threatened
dangers will be sverted pending legsla-
tive return TO better and sounder finan-
rial plan. The strong credit of the coun-
try still unimpaired and the good sense OF
our people, which has never failed in
time OF need, are at hand TO save us from
disaster"
