GOULD APPROVES 1T.
He Thinks the Union Pacific Will
Make Some Money Now.
And Anderson Favors Nursing the
Goose That 1t May Lay the
Golden Egg.

NEW YORK. Oct. 14.-Ge9rGe J. Gould
said to-day that the placing OF the Union
Pacific Ia the hands of receivers was a
very good thing for the stockholders, al il
would keep the property together by pre-
venting the system from being torn apart
Ii there was general scramble by every
one, each one looking out for himself, the
result must necessarily be bad for the
stockholders. He said be thought the stock
was in a much stronger position to-day
than before receivers were appointed.
Concerning the rumors current in Wall
street for some days that similar action
would be taken on the Missouri Pacific,
Gould said: Il am aware that the story
has been in circulation, but did not care 10
rush into print to deny il. You may, how.
ever, deny il on my authority as emphat-
icaily and strongly as you please. and say
such step has not been contemplate is
not contemplated now, and never viii be
contemplated. The road will most GER
tai3ly not go into the hands of receiver"
ElleTy Anderson. one of the receivers
and Government directors of the Union
Pacific. was seen to-day ana asked what
movement the directors would make re-
garding the road. He said Mr. Clark.
President Oliver W. Mink and myself Will
meet some time next week for a confer
ence. The Union Pacific Railway owes
the Government something approximating
S53. coo, 900, which it cannot pay. | am in
favor of getting all we can for the Govern
ment. Ii the goose cannot lay the golden
egg at present | favor nursing it so that it
will be able at some future time to lay it,"
OMAHA, Oct. 14-Receiver Clark of the
Union Pacific said In an interview that ne
regarded all the ordinary contracts off as
consequence of the reeeivership. This
did not include the contract with the Rock
Island and the Milwaukee roads sor
bridges and tracks to South Omaha, as
they are in court. As to the ninety-year
traffic agreement with the Northwestern,
that has not yet been reached.
The receivers are busy with officials of
the road preparing 10 start set of books.
Senior Receiver Clark. Receiver Mink,
General Manager Dickinson and General
Solicitor Thurston had long conference
this morning to discuss the conduct of the
system and map ont the future policy of
the receivers. Among the Federated
Trades there is not q very joyful feeling
discernible over he abrogation of all con-
tracts which followed the appointment of
the receivers. A representative Of the
Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association
stated that they are at the mercy of the
court until something definite could be
heard from the general manager, though
they believed the men would be treated
fairly. What the engineers will do, now
that their schedule is abrogated, is much
moOted question in labor circles. and, for
that matter. all the trades are in the same
hazy condition. but the employees will as
sumo that wages will be unchanged till
notified otherwise. If reduced they will
send committee to talk with the receivers
on the subject.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

Passenger.

REDoNDo. Oct. 14.-The steamship New
bern, Won Helms captain. eight days from
Guaymas, grounded this morning at 8
o'clock few miles north Of the San Pedro
lighthouse. The passengers. crew and part
of the cargo were saved. The ship was
lost in dense fog. One could not see the
ships length, and the captain supposed he
was we'll out from land. The current car.
lied him off the course. The vessel went
at full speed into the rocks. The water
came in very rapidly. and the steamer
listed to port. She rolled very much, but
careening always to port. There was no
disorder. the disipline being perfect.
The vessel lay on the rocks In that DO
sition until day break and the partial lift
ing of the fog. when the passengers were
rowed ashore. not a stones throw distant
The vessel is broken in two and the decks
are completely razed.
The story was told 10 correspondent
by Mrs. Katherine Brandegee of San
Francisco. one of the passen gers. She left
San Jose del Caba October 1. They had a
pleasant trip until the disaster. She re.
tired at the usual hour last night and at 3
o'clock felt violent shock. as of vigor-
Gus earthquake. and the ship careened to
port.

going at full speed upon the rocks will

POLICY LIBERATED.
No Evidence to Connect Him
With McWhirter's Death.
After Being Locked Up Seven Months
lie Is Dismissed to Save Fresno
Further Expense.

FRESNO, Oct. 14.-This morning before
Judge Webb, in Department 8 of the Su-
perior Court, a motion of continuance in
the case of The People VS.. Frederick W.
Policy, charged with being an accomplice
with Richard S. Heath in the murder of
Louis NcWhirter, was made by the Dis
trict Attorney. The ground on which it
was asked was that the principal witness
for the prosecution could not be found.
After the motion had been argued the
Judge decided that. while he would ike to
grant continuance if the prosecution
could find the necessary witness. yet, ac-
cording to the facts before the court and
the law in the case, he would have to deny
the motion.
The District Attorney stated it would be
useless to go into the trial without this
witness, as his evidence was necessary to
connect the defendant with the crime. and
a trial would put the county to large
expense with little show for conviction;
he therefore asked that the case be dis
missed.
The motion was granted.
The witness in question is James Givens.
the colored man who said he pulled Policy
IN through the window of a house in Chi
natown soon after the shooting of Nc
Whirter. Policy had testified that he had
slept that night in the shed of woodward,
and Givens' testimony was considered very
important.
Policy has been in Jail nearly seven
months on an indictment of the Grand
Jury. and when he was set at liberty he
was much excited with joy.

WILL FIGHT HARD.
England to Have No Picnic March to
Matabeieland.

LONDON, Oct. 14.-News of the situation
in Mashonaland indicates that unless the
British force is able TO strike the Mata-
beles quickly, the warfare may last for
some time. The South African Company
has partly succeeded in drawing the Gov
eminent into the affair, inasmuch as the
Bechuland border police have been ordered
to cooperate.
Henry NJ. Stanley in an interview says
he thinks Lobenguela will be forced by his
young bloods into a conflict. Lobenguela
recognizes the fighting superiority Of the
British. He is certain be will be defeated
and probably forced to flee to the north of
Zambesi. The fight may bs protracted
and fierce. but can have but one ending.
Stanley adds that Lobenguela, after re-
treating across the Zambesi. may estab-
lish himself among the Central African
tribes and endeavor to invade Nyassaland.
but in the end is bound to be crushed.

Reason for the Disaster.


Reason for the Disaster.
SAN PEDRO. Oct. 1.-THE steamer New
bern, which went ashore at Point Vincent
early this morning during heavy fog, is
said to be rapidly breaking I'D.
Captain Won Helms, who is an old and
able seaman. can give no reason for the
accident. The steamer was supposed to
be on her usual course, which lies three
miles off shore. Immediately after the ves-
sci struck the lfe-boats were ordered out
and after taking lines ashore the work of
transferring passen gers and baggage was
commenced.
Ssventy-fve thousand dollars worth of
bullion was stored in the specie tank and
was lowered into two boats and brought
TO San Pedro in charge of the captain and
second mate. No attempt was made to get
the cargo out as the vessel quickly keeled
over on the port side and filed with water.
She is valued at $4,000. The Pacific
Coast Steamship Company carries its own
insurance. The cargo was valued at about
100000, including the bullion. As soon
as the vessel struck the purser went TO
Redondo for conveyances for the pas
sengers, who. with the treasure. will go
north on the steamer Corona tomorrow.
Great excitement prevailed among the pas
sengers when the vessel in the dense fog
and darkness crashed upon the rocks and
panic seemed imminent. but was arerted
