NO FUNDING BILL.

A Strong Protest Against Any Measure
to Release Railroad ,Uagnates' Estate.
WASHINGTON, June 4.-Representative
Mcguire of California appeared before
the house committee on Pacific railroads
today, making strong protest against
any funding bill or other arrangement
which would release tho estates OF Hunt
ington, Stamford and others from per-
sonal liability to the-government for the
debts OF the Central Pacific.
At the request Of Representative Ma.
guire 1t was arranged that himself, ex.
CONGRESSMAN Sumner of California, and
other members of the state delegation in
congress should address the committee
on Thursday. Mcguire took the po-
sitien that the failure OF the
Central Pacific to pay the debt to the
government was due entirely to the
diversion of the earnings to the pockets
OF the syndicate, which under the law
would have fund created for the pay
ment of the debts. He recommended
that the government should proceed by
foreclosure or by taking charge under
the conditions of the franchise and ap-
peal to the courts to secure the remain
der from the Huntingtons, Stsnfords
and others.
Representative Weadock inquired II
he did not favor government ownership,
and Mr.. Mcclure explained his plan for
the government ownership of the road
bed and right OF way, with trains OPP
Grated by private parties under govern
ment control.

Orders had been given the militia to
escort a train load OF coal past the sew

shead. followed by the train with the
militia. After proceeding about a mile
the coal train came to q stop, having
been stopped by an obstruction on the
track. In ambush in the heavy grass
were 200 miners. 1t was their purpose
to capture the coal train. The disem-
barkment Of the troops was immedi-
ately begun, and General Mckee ordered
the troops to try to surround
the miners, but this failed as the miners
were scattered. The wreckage on the
track was removed and the coal train

BY A. W. CLARK, division superintendent
of the Mobile and Ohio, passenger train
No. 5, which left here at pm, was
ditched at Fisher lake, near Columbia.
The engineer and fireman are reported

wreck is meagre. Chief Walsh of the
East st. Louis police detailed four officers

miles distant. to work on tho affair, and
the men went to the scene on special

SACRAMENTO, June 4.-Director Bar
wick OF the California weather bureau,
in his crop report for the week ended
June 4th. summarizes as follows: The
excess OF moisture and deficiency in
temperature and sunshine has been very
detrimental to hay that was cut and
cherries that were ripe, but has greatly
benefited all summer crops, pastur-
age and late grown hay, which plainly
shows that the continued damp, cloudy
weather of the past three weeks has
been more been more beneficial to the
crops OF this state than otherwise, and
has caused wheat and barley to be cut
for grain that would otherwise have
been cut for hay. Sunshine, warmth
and drying winds are now badly needed
over all portions of the state or else a
vast amount OF hay will be total loss.

SAN FRANcIsco, June A. J. Bled-
soc, who, as assemblyman from Hum
boldt county, made record that earned
the enmity of every boodler in the last
session of the legislature. has at last
been charged with bribery. Strangely
enough, the accusation comes from Mrs.
Bledsoe, being one of the allegations
made in complaint upon which Hhe
baees suit for divorce.
The complaint sets forth statutory
grounds and also makes the averment OF
cruelty. The portion OF the document,
however, that makes II OF public inter
est Is the statement that during the last
session of the Legislature, Bledsoe ac-
cepted a bride from one Joseph Brown
upon an agreement and understanding
that his vote, opinion and action upon
bill pending before the Legislature for
the purpose OF constructing the county
of Riverside, should be influenced there
by"
The plaintiff continues that he
shamefully and inhumanly abused her
when che demonstrated with him, and
for no other reason than that she knew
of his criminal conduct. The bride 10
said to have consisted Of 500.
Brown was known in Sacramento az
an advocate of the bill establishing
Riverside county. Over $4,000 was
said to have been spent to influence
votes in favor of the bill, but friends OF
Bledsoe do not believe he ever received
q cent for his vote, and are greatly SUR
prised that such a charge should have
been brought. They say that the state
ment is absurd on ito face.
Bledsos has served two terms in the
legislature, and his reputation for hon.
esty and integrity. far from ever having
been questioned, was established
through an active and fearless war he
waged agsinst boodlers. He has OF late
been spoken of for congressional honors.
Bledsoe was married in Santa Rosa in
1887, and has child years OF age.
His wife has eerved an injunction re-
strsining him from disposing of the COM
munity property, which, she says, Ia
worth $4,000. The action was brought at
Eureka, and he has written letter to
the Standard OF that place vigorously
denying every allegation OF the COM

he wanted, just as any other manriac-

Closing his testimony, Mr.. Vest aeid:

any statement that ever gave any in
