and Expects vindieation.
Fssish! Trains Collide At OAKLAND. Friday
Beth Ensiaes Injured.

AcBrgs, Feb. Especial. Mayor
lowell, who has until tonight refused to he
interviewed, said TO a JorKsAL reporter
F. Ny position IS practically this: | have
been actively engaged in this move from
the start, acting nnder the advice of the
ciiys attorneys, whose ability and integrity
are beyond question. | availei myself of
the advice of tinaneiers who have made a
success in their own business. Feeling that
this was the last and the only chance re-
manning for the city To ultimately control
the water works, chose to take this step
In my opinion il was high-minded. hon
orable, legitimate business transaction that
should be treated as such by all fair minded,
unbiased citizens of Auburn. The city
government has not been run in the interest
of the aqueduct company.
at is reported that previous to your
election you did not own any stock in the
company and that now you do. What have
you to say about that" asked the reporter.
Mr.. Wescott was not obliged to deliver
only 1900 shares, which would have made
but majority of one in the control, and
then to bolster it up little | thought that
would buy 3j shares at the same price,
which did.
II do not understand that Judge Savage
owns single share of stock, and in my
agreement with Mr.. Wescott ! was in con-
sultation with Mr.. Savage.
Il will say further that | have been CO.
operating with Savage and Mr.. Merrill from
the first, and | think they have acted
squareiy nnt honestly in the matter and if
anything wrong has been done it was
through mistake and not intentional on
their part but as far as the question that
there is anything wrong is concerned, |
don't believe there has been one single
transaction but what was honorable in the
fullest sense of the word and time will vim
dicate everybody closely identified in the
matter"

IN THE SENATE.


WASHINGTON, Feb. lin the Senate
Mr.. Sherman offered his bond issue amend
ment to the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill
and it was debated on point of order made
by Stewart.
Vice President Morton ruled it to he in
order. An appeal against ruling was taken
by Stewart and the appeal was, on the mo-
iiun of Hoar, laid on table: yeas % nays
IL. so the amendment was decided to be i'll
order.
The treasuary situation shows an im-
proyement. Heavier receipts and smaller
expenditures have hal the effect of show
ing gain in the net balance, which for the
pas, few days had dropped down to dan
gerously low margin.
To-day it is about S2J 900 600, of which
SlD, 900 900 is in subsidiary coin, and a like
amount in national bank depositarics. The
margin only few days ago was only about
s23 900 600. which, taking out the two
items named. left the treasury with a very
narrow margin to work on.
All the heavy payments likely to accrue
this month have been made. For the re-
nainJer of the month receipts are expected
to increase and expenditures to decrease, SO
that at the end of the month the account
will about balance. The net balance at the
beginning of February by the debt state
ment was S25 ,2Gj ,0Gs.
Sherman offered the 3 per cent bond
issue as an amendment to the sunhrv civil
appropriation bill Mills of Texas moved
to strike out of the amendment the words
Give years after their date, so as to leave
the bonds redeemablc at the pleasure of the
government. and argued in support of that
motion Sherman said that if the PROPOSE
ton was not one to provide for an cmer-
gency he should feel disposed to accept
Mills amenlment but thought it not wise
to venture on it now.
He did not believe that any considerable
amount of 3 per cent. bonds would ever be
issued Az the same time a contingency
should be provided for and the power to is
sue bonds would, he thought, enable the
secretary of the treasury TO msintainj the
gold reserve without his issuing them.
PETER opposed both amendments because
he thought there was no necessity at this
time for the issue of bonds. Teller also
opposed Shcrman's amcndnlen mt and argnri /
that by selling 1 per cent. bonds at. the
premium reserved upon them it would make
the net rate of interest less than 3 II per
cent.
Voorhees, member of the finance com
mittee, supported the amendment. lie did
not sec the connection between the pending
amendment of silver. The bare fact that
power to issue these :; per cent bonds ex-
listed would give stability and confidence
throughout the world to American currency
and treasury finances.
After further debate Allison tried 10 get
an agreement as to the hour at which a vote
should be taken tomorrow on the Sherman
amendment. but objection was made He
asked unanimous consent that the hill be
disposed Of tomorrow, but il was objected
to. He gave notice that he would try TO
have night sessions next week. The Sen
