UNION PACIFIC DEBT.
Rosewater of Omaha Advocates
Foreclosure.
He Says the Government Should Sell
The Road and Take Its Chances
of Recovering.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

New YORK, April eastward Rose
water, editor and proprietor of the Omaha
Bee and member Of the Republican Ma
tionai Committee, has been in the city sew
eral days. one of the objects of his visit be.
ing to collect figures regarding the Union
Pacific Railroad debt with which Congress
will have to deal next winter. To a Herald
reporter Rosewater said The Pacific Rail
road debt will mature within three years.
Its adjustment has been discussed in Con-
gress after Congress. but no defuite con-
clusion has been eeched. Congress next
winter, however. will be forced to take
action in the matter. The most feasible
proposition is for Congress to let the road
so to foreclosure under the first mortgage
and take chances of recovering the money
advanced by the Government should the
road sell for less than S33 00o. COO. Some Of
the money advanced would undoubtedly be
lost in this way, out what Of it?
The road won be cleared from all COM
pllcations which has burdened 1t for twenty
years. and it could successfully compete
with other roads. thus greatly benefIing the
people through reduced rates. Besides, the
development of the Western country has
more than paid back TO the Guvernmentthe
money advanced or the difference between
that advanced and what would he lost as
the result of the roads sale Unqueslion-
ably private individuals and stock jobDers
have fattened at the peoples expense owing
to Union Pacific deals. but all possibility of
that would be stopped by foreclosure Of the
property.
81 think this view viii re largely In -ao--
cord with the sentiment in the West, though
some of the Popuilst elemen; may not un-
derstand it al first At all events the time
has arrived for settlement of this Union
Pacific business, which concerns not only
the West, but large interests in the East,
and il should be intelligently discussed be-
fore the problem is submitted TO Congress
next winter"

Andrew Nelson EIudes the Hospital
Steward, But Returns.

Andrew nelson EiudeS the Hospital
Steward, But Returns.
Andrew Nelson. a laborer living at 1891
Stevenson street. appears to have an ire
sistibe mania for jumping out Of windows
at any height from the ground.
Nelson was found wandering about
Stevenson street by Policeman Ennis last
night in an apparently intoxicated con-
di'ion. He was severely battered about the
head and face and acted as though severely
injured about the body
Ennis summoned the natrOl- wagon and
had Nelson taken to the Receiving Hospital
for treatment.
Say, Doc" was Nelson's first remark TO
Dr. Somers as he entered the hospital
doors, 'I've just jumped out of a three
story windnw at my house on Stevenson
street. Didn't use parachute either and
lanCed all right"
Nelson, improbable as his story was bore
evidences of having been injured in some
way. His head was badly confused ard
cut, and he complained of pains about the
body.
Thinking that the mans story might be
true Police Surgeon SOmers had him placed
on cot IN The male ward 10y Steward Tre-
win TO await symptoms o. internal injuries.
Nelson proved a rather lively sick man,
however. His mania for jumping out Of
windows returned to him suddenly The
windows of the Receiving Hospital are sur
rounded by q wire screen reaching within
eighteen inches of the top. That did not
deter Nelson from carrying out his project
While the day steward was otherwise en-
gagged, having left his patient apparently
asleep. as he states Nelson climbed over
the wire screen and was soon out in the
wide world
1t was some time later before the negli-
gent steward learned OF Nelson's escape,
when a reporter reque ested an interview with
him to get the particulars of his jump from
the window. and found that he had made
his escape by jumping from the window
second time.
Two hours later Policeman Riordau found
Nelson acting wildly on Mission street.
He arrested him on a charge OF disturbing
the peace, but as the man was apparently
injured took him back to the Receiving Hos
piIal a second time, " here he was strapped
down in the insane ward to prevent him

FAILED FOR MILLIONS.
What Caused the TronbIe in Aus
tralian Banks.

lEGliaU OdHkSs
LONDON, April %. - The twenty
Australian banks doing business at the end
Of the past year, with capital and reserves
amounting TO about 224, 600, COO had de-
posted with them s125. .OOO, 600 Of which
about el0o,00O.0CO were time deposits bear
ing interest These time deposits are ac-
cepted in Great Britain for periods running
from one to five years. and interest is
allowed al rates ranging from to AZ or 8
per cent on deposits to remain for longer
periods up to five years. The credit of the
bank determines the rates allowed.
The money so received was lent at high
rates in Australia, AMI the business was so
profitable that dividends Of from 10 TO %
per cent were paid by the larger banks.
The deposits as they became payable were
renewed and the totals increased from year
to year.
The largest proportion came from Scot
land, where the business assumed such
dimensions that the insurance companies
made a regular tariff for guaranteeing de-
posts. The smash uD of a large number of
building and kindred societies last ear in
Australia, and the discovery that many
banks had locked up large sums in unprO-
ductive or overvalued real estate, caused
scme Withdrawals of deposits as they fell
due. and checked The new. opening OF de-
post accounts.
The failure of two banks last year added
to the uneasiness and this has developed
into a panic, which has brought down three
other banks this year and which may result
in further failures.
The immediate cause Of each failure has
been the same. The first of the time de-
posits are wholly OF partly Withdrawn in
London as they fall due.
This makes it necessary TO draw on the
Australian Office, and when depOsitOrs in
Australia see their banks assets dwiudling
they take fright and begin to check out
their current account balance. Then fol-
lows run and the managers Of the London
office wake up some fine morning and find
in the newspapers that the bank they sup
posed the night before was solvent has
