WHAT THE DUTCH WANT.
The scheme to Reorganize the Union
Pacific.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The Senate
committee on Pacific railroads was in
session the greater part of the day,
listening to an explanation of the pro-
posed reorganization of the Union Pa
cific made by M. Boissevain in behalf
of Holland bondholders. Boissevan and
Attorneys Stetson, Simpson, and Moro
WITT. were present and engaged with
the committee in a thorough discussion
of the affairs of the road. 1t appears
the stock of the road is largely in the
hands of heirs or their guardians and
none have authority to institute a reor-
ganization which renders it necessary
for the bondholders to move in the
matter
The house which Mr.. Boissevain rep
resents has placed about 50,OO0OOO OF
the roads first mortgage bonds in Hol-
land He is also a member of the COM
nittee on reorganization. The propo-
sition he makes to the committee is
for an extension of the period 100 years
at low rate of interest, the company
/ to be allowed to operate the system
Including the main line and branches
the bonds to be secured by the entire
system, and not by the main line alone
as at present. The bondholders also
agree to reduce the first mortgage
bonds to an average of about $4,000
per mile on the main line anC
branches.

Paris, Feb. 13.-Leon Bretone, tha
anarchist waiter who threw the bomb
in the cafe of the Hotel Terminus. last
night, appeared in the police court
this morning. He carried himself with
the utmost effrontery. When asked il
he had ever appeared in a police court
before. he replied: 1T is not my GUS
tom to frequent such places" II
answer to further questions he said
he fired at the police, because they
chased him with drawn swords. One
of the police interrupted him by say.
ing the police was trying to save him
from being torn to pieces by the mob
when he fired. "That proves retorted
Bretone, that the people are

matter a straw to me-" The prisoner
I then assumed a coarse, chatting tone
and seemed to glory in the notoriety

more with the bomb and hit five with
revolver shots. Among the injured ara
Beck, the architect of the chamber Of
deputies, wounded in the arms and
legs; Van Heer, eight wounds in legs
and Michael, wounded by a shell.
Crowds surround the cafe, the inter.
lior of which looks as if swept by q

Girard, director of the Paris labora-
tory SAYS the missile was made of a
small round canned-meat box 1t was
evidently made in England. The bomb
contained 200 grains Of chlorate OF
potassium and piric acid, arranged
i'm a manner similar to the bomb
thrown by valiant.
During the examination Of the
Iprisoner, NJ. Meyer suspected the &C.
lcuracy of the prisoners statement
and said: 81 believe you are lying"
Breton glanced angrily at the judge
when the latter made this remark, and

Indianapolis. Feb. ia meeting OF
the Republican League clubs of Indiana
was held today to perfect the Repub-
lican organization of the state. DIS
trict managers and delegates at large
to the Denver convention were selected.
In the evening a mass meeting was
addressed by ex-President Harrison and
others.
In his speech, Harrison said the pres

the threat that an old established pol
icy is to be reversed and a new one
Instituted. He quoted the late eX-Sen-
ator Joseph e. Mcdonald as having
said that revenue should be raised by
customs duties. so levied as to not
harm the interest of the laboring men,
or the agricultural classes. Had the
Wilson bill been constructed on prin-
ciple such as this, there would have
been no harm done, and national ca
llamity would have been averted; but
there has come a new gospel; new
creed has been adopted by the Demo
lcratic party and it has now promul
gated a theory which resorts to extra
ordinary and outrageous systems o.
taxation. They want to revive the in
tiquitous direct taxation as a means O
raising the revenues. They want L
tear down the system of custom du
ties by which the factories are reared
and advanced, by which property i
acquired and maintained.
