week. Chairman Springer is not con-
filming his invitations to eastern finan-

recognized as authorities in practical
financiering, such men as Lyman j.
Gage of Chicago, being among those in

DAY OF DEBATE IN THE HOUSE.
Railroad Pooling Bill to Come TO Vote
Next Tuesday.

Next Tuesday
Washington, Dec. 8.-Less than 25
members were present when the house
was called to order at noon today In
the morning hour Mr.. Mallory of Flori-
da, of the committee on interstate com
merce, called up the bill to promote the
efficiency of revenue cutters. The bill
was considered several times last SEES
sion. 1t provides for the retirement of
officers of the service incapacitated by
reason of infirmities, physical or mental
disabilities. MessrS. Mallory, English
and Covert of New York supported the
bill, but it was antagonized by Mr..
Clark of Missouri, who deliberately
avowed his intention of talking it to
death. Mr.. Clark's speech was charac-
teristic, humorous and audacious to the
point of sensationalism, and it kept the
house in a confusion Of laughter. cheers
and jeers. The morning hour expired
without action, and Mr.. Brown,of NTary-
lana gave notice that Thursday next he
would call up the contested election case
of Williams VS.. Settle. The house then
resumed consideration Of the railroad
pooling bill.
Those who participated in the debate
today were Messrs. Gear, Dalzell, Grow
and Mahon, all in favor of the bill.
Mr.. Blair offered an amendment to
give the commission power at any time
to nullify pooling contracts, Mr. Pat
terson served notice that hewould de-
mand the previous question on the bill
next Tuesday at O'clock. and at 4:4O p.
m. the house adjourned.
TERRITORY BILLS.
The friends of the territorial admis-
sion bills feel much relieved over the
action of the democratic senatorial
caucus in deciding to place these bills
on the preferred calendar. There had
been fears of some opposition lest the
fact that Arizona and New Mexico had
elected republican delegates to congress
at the last election would have the
effect of causing the democratic senate
to decide against taking the bills up at
the present session. Senator Faulkner,
chairman Of the territorial committee
has been persistent advocate of the
policy of including these bills in the
program for the short session.

a wise and safe measure, and I believe

excellent thing. I care but little for

INTERSTATE CoMMERCE REpoRrs
Business OF Railroads for 1894 Shows
Hard Times.

/ " hHAiAO duS LOT 1891 Shows
Hard Times.
Washington, Dec. 9-The interstate
commerce commission has Just issued
a preliminary report on the income and
expenditures of railways in the United
states for the year ending June 80. 1894
prepared byits statistician. The report
contains returns from $40 operating
companies whose reports were filed on
or before November %, and covers the
operations of 1S9,559.21 miles of line. or
ABOUT 50 per cent. of the total operated
lineage in the United States. The gross
earnings from the operation of the 1S9.-
o55Zl miles of lines represented were
S949,639,967, of which $500, 137, 142 was
from passenger service, $617, 95S, 49S was
from freight service and $22, APO. 92S was
from earnings from operation covering
receipts from telegraph, use of cars,
switching charges, etc. The operating
expenses were $643, 428, 1881, leaving the
net earnings $685. 21O, SS4. Reduced to a
mileage basis, the earnings from the
passenger service were 50 .O67 per mile
OF line; from freight service, 81, 1872; total
gross earnings, $6,350; operating ex-
penses, $4,SO2, and the net earnings,
$2,04S.
49, I'm PeNAASOA VI NltSG Items with
receipts from a complete report of pre-
Vious years shows a decrease per mile
of line in earnings from passenger ser
vice of $5S; in earnings from freight SER
vice, STA; or a total decrease of earn
ings of $3.50; in operating expenses of
1914, and in net earnings of 1856.
The total number of passengers car
ried was sos, 285 446; passengers carried
one mile, 12,SS8, 926,573; number of tons
carried, 81, 1855, 942; tons carried one mile.
7O,426, 244, 965. In order to show the vol
ume of traffic for all railways these fig
ures should be increased IA or Is per
cent. To compare the density of traf-
fic with previous years these figures are
reduced to mileage basis, which shows
the number of passengers carried one
mile per mile of line to be S6,253. as
compared with $500 in 1893 The num-
Der of tons carried one mile per mile of
line was 47O,S93, as compared with $751;
232 for 1888
These figures show the decrease in the
volume of freight traffic occasioned by
the Generalization of business through
out the country. The net earnings avail
able for the payment of fixed charges
and dividends were $306, 210744, as
against $350,760,6O7 for the same roads
for the previous year, a decrease Of
81, 555,S62.

PACIFIC RAILROAD FUNDING BILL
MCGUIRE of California Thinks II Is a

Washington. Dec. Representative

win also contest the measure on the

CURE; 1T is true the bonds are about
to mature and the government will have
to meet them, but it has been paying in
terest on the bonds for years and these
payments for interest reach amazing
figures, $50,0OO,0 900, while the principal
is only $4,000, 900 There should be no
alarm, therefore, over the payment of
the principal when the government has
already paid out twice as much as the
principal.
THE main objection to the pending bill
is that it extends for so years absolute
dominion of the Pacific roads over the
traffic rates of the west. It also limits
the security Of the government to GER
tain designated roads. It will be better
If congress let's the subject alone and

Mr.. Mcclure was asked if congress

AS HYPNoTIzED BY HAYWARD
Allegation OF Blixt, Who Murdered Miss
Cling.

Minneapolis, Dec. 1O.-Claus A. Blixt,
the confessed murderer of Miss Gather
inc Cling, is a pitiable object today.
He weeps continually and says he
wants to die He says Harry Hayward
controlled him, as he did Miss Cling, by
hypnotic power A large crowd assem-
bled in front of the municipal court
today expecting that Blixt would be ar
raigned.
After reading Blixt's confession in to-
days papers, Hayward said the story
was a fake concocted by BliXt to save
his neck.
The belief is growing that Harry Hay
ward made use of hypnotism to gain
so strong a hold over his tools and VIC
Tins. Claus Blixt says that he did. He
told the officers that Harry had con-
trolled him with hypnotic power, as he
had also controlled Miss Cling. The muir
derer shuddered when he made this
statement and appeared to stand in
mortal terror of Harry even then. With
gestures of the hands he illustrated the
way Harry used to hypnotic girls. He
said that whenever Harry told him to
do anything and he refused, he would
make a few passes at him with his
hands and the result was that he did
whatever Harry told him.
The time that he fired the barn, Harry
he said, threatened to kill him if he did
not obey his command. He looked
through me with those eyes and went
and burned the barn without saying
word" said Blixt. ION the morning Of
the fire he made me sign a paper, say
ing that 1 had set fire to the barn I
signed my name to the paper and af-
ter that whenever he wanted me to do
anything, he would show me the paper
and threaten to send me to Saltwater
for 10 years if I refused"
PEOPLE ARE EXCITED.
1t was decided this morning that
there would be no arraignment of Blixt
in the municipal court, but that the case
should go direct before the grand Jury.
large crowd had assembled before
the municipal court on Second street.
Much talk was INDUCED in and their
looks were, to say the least, threaten
ing. Captain Heine was detailed to an
nounce to the crowd that Blixt was not
to be brought into the municipal court
and that they were to dispense imme-
diately. His words had little effect, as
the crowd remained in front of the
building, and was augmented every
few minutes by the appearance of new
faces. The question in every mind now
is whether Harry will confess.
The jury began it's investigation of
the Cling murder case today. Assistant
County Attorney Decker says he has
evidence of Harry Hayward's compile
ity in a number of other dark crimes
but will give no hint of what they are.
1t is possible that no indictment will
be returned against Andy Hayward, the
brother who first confessed, he being
wanted as a witness.
