THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
Huntington Explains the Revision
of the Lease.

New York, Dec &c. p. Hunting
ton said in regard to the rumor of the
|non-payment of dividends depends on
the Central Pacific, that it probably
got a start from the recent revision of
the lease between the two roads. The
original lease from the Central Pa
cific was made in 1889 and contained
the following provision: If at any
time it appears that by The operation
of this agreement either party is being
benefited at the expense If he other.
this agreement shall be revised and
c changed so that such will not be the
operation thereof" From the state
ments of the two roads it appears that
for several years past the business
of both has been such that the Central
has profited at the expense of the
Southern Pacific. Therefore it was con-
sidered the time had come for a revi-
sion of the terms of the lease and
such change was accordingly made.

said: 1.-THE relations between the pope
and car are at his moment very
strained. In July last the pope wrote
the czar an autograph letter in which
he complained of the prosecutions
against the Roman Catholics in Poland.
1t was written in a very sharp way.
Leo XIII declared to the car that if
the prosecutions did not cease, he would
be compelled to protest solemnly in the
face Of Europe against the intolerance
of the car. The car became frigh-
tened and has just sent to Rome the
Catholic bishop of Tiraspol, persona
grata at st. Petersburg, to speak a
good word to the pope and dissuade
him from putting his project into ex-
ecution"
