AFTER RAILROAD WREcKBRS.

New York Bondholdcrs Want the Govern.
ment TO sue Sage and Gould Estates.
Members Of the House Committee on Paci-
fic Railroads received petition yesterday
from the New York bondholders Of tho Kan
sas Pacific Consolidated Railroad Company,
asking them to introduce bill authorizing
the institution of suits against all consoli-
dated roads.
Representative Boatner, of louisiana, in
troduced the bill endorsing it, "by request"
The bill provides that the circuit court of
the United States shall have jurisdiction of
suits ard proceedings instituted under tho
act. The Attorney General is instructed to
institute proceedings in the name of the
United States against any directors OF govern
ment-aided railroad companies, or any other
persons who may be liable to the corporations
or their creditors. for property obtained con-
trary to equity, particularly in regard to con-
tracts for construction or equipment, whether
made by fduciaries in their own names or
through construction companies.
The committee for the bondholders is Silas
B. butcher, Henry n. Whitney, Otto Barnard,
Theodore W. Myers, William A. Nash, and L.
]. Morrison. They have already brought suit
in the United States circuit court for the
southern district of New York to compel the
executors for Jay Gould and Russell Sage to
account for S11 ,000, 600 in securities which it
is claimed they appropriated in 1879 as trus-
tees under deed of trust given by the Kan
sas Pacific to secure bond issue of $780,

ASK FOR sHELLEY's TRIAL.
Civil Service Commissioners Send Browns
Case Against Him to Attorney

Civil Service Commissioners send Browns
Case Against Him to Attorney
General Olncy.
The Civil Service Commissioners yesterday
made formal complaint OF solicitation of
campaign funds from government employees
against ex-Congressman Shelley, Of Alabama,
to Attorney General Olney, and asked for
Shelley's prosecution.
Tho communication was signed by the full
board Of commissioners, Proctor, Roosevelt,
and Lyman, and drew the attention OF the
Attorney General to tho letter of solicitation
sent by Gen. Shelley to the employees, and the
complaint made by Henry !. Brown, who re-
ceived one OF the letters
The commissioners In their communication
to the Attorney General briefly reviewed the
facts in the sending of the assessment letter
by Shelley to a War Department employe,
and went on to state that the decision OF the
Attorney General in the Toledo post-ofilce
case, which held that a solicitation of funds
by letter addressed to person in govern
ment building does not constitute "solicita-
meaning Of the law, would open up the de-
partments to solicitation, aud If sustained
will work great injury.
The commissioners added: "If this ruling
is to be binding in cases like that OF Shelley
an amendment to the civil service law specially
prohibiting solicitation by letter will be re-
Quired and ought to be made"
The commissioners placed the whole mat
ter, with their opinion, before the Attorney
General, and asked him to give tho ruling
quoted a test in the courts.

GENEROSITY TO THE DISTRICT,

In view OF the prevailing hard times the
appropriations for the expenditures of the
District of Columbia for the fiscal year 1895
determined upon by Congress are generous
beyond what might have been expected, and
the citizens of Washington ought to congratu-
late themselves that their interests have been
SO splendidly cared for at time when .'re-
ductions all along the line' has been the de-
clared and accepted policy of the government.
OF course the sum allowed is none too much
for the District. There are not few appro-
priations which we should have liked to see
had hoped to see, considerably larger, and
the total amount is only slightly in excess of
that for the last fiscal year.
