TIE CHICAGO GREAT WESTERN.
Ensiishmen Talking OF Another Loan for the
Sticknry System

LONDON. Jan. 10.-A meeting OF the deben-
ture holders Of tho Chicago Great Western
Railway Company was held here to-day. at
which the Right Hon. William Lidderdsle for
merly Governor OF the Bank Of England. pre-
sided. Mr. Lidderdnle said that the railroad
had suffered from the condition Of affairs that
was telling more or less severely on nil Ameri-
can railroads. and that had brought disaster
to many Of them. II might be possible to
borrow the sum required for the half years
debenture and stock interest, but with the
present trafflc returns and no provision Sc
cured for capital expenditures. neither the
committee nor the Board OF Directors would
support such PROPOSAL. In the opinion Of
the committee the Cheapest plan to provide
money for the present and future capital re-
auirement was by the issue OF a prior lien
large enough to pay of all existing priorities.
The present conditions were unfavorable for
carrying out such measure as IL was hardly
possible to issue securities on the terms the
directors were willing to accept. The imme-
diate question was dividends on the deben-
lures. IL the company proposed to pay the
present and the next dividends at eighty. the
committee would recommend that course.
motion in accordance with these proposals
was met by an amendment. which was ADOPT
ed. that the dividend on the debsnture due
Jan. 10 should not be paid unless in cash.

COMMENTS ON THE VERDICT
The Feeling OF RELIEF tn Paris when the
ResnIt Was Announced.

nbpyr'7M 1894. " n- rp,t-t rrs"
PARIS, Jan. 10.-The verdict OF guilty and the
sentence OF death In the trial OF Augusta Vail
liant were announced SO late that there was
not time to-day for editorial comment in the
press. Nobody. however. could mistake the
feeling OF relief both inside and outside OF the
Palace OF Justice when the result OF the trial
became known. The verdict was q sign that
the jurors could not be frightened By anony-
nous threats OF vengeance. Undoubtedly
many men who sympathized with the prisoner
gained admittance to the court room. Most OF
them stood without giving a sign OF their
opinions until moved to cheers by NJ. Labori
In the peroration OF his speech for Valiant.
Tho men who raised thsse cheers are Anar-
chst idealists. who abound in Paris as else
where. They waste their sentiments upon
men like valiant
1t seems that valiant must now take his

instincts. and. when caught excusing him

There was great difference OF opinion as to
the jury's determination to deal with Vail
liant as dangerous criminal. When the ver-
dict was announced 1t was cheered loudly. and
duty was heard on every side.
The asst mail from Buenos Ayres brought a
copy OF La L'resse. in which was printed a let
ter written by valiant on the morning Of the
explosion to friend in Argentina. In this
letter valiant said that he meant to signallze
the end OF his lite by great putlic act after
which he would die without regret and in the
conviction that no had work ed for the cause OF
universal happiness. The letter has the same
tone Of crazed vanity that was perceptible In
his utterances throughout the trial.
