WASHINGTON, Oct. General Wade
Hampton, Commissioner of Railroads,
was at his desk to-day for the first time
in several weeks, having returned from
an extended trip over the roads which
come under his supervision. The Com
missioner says he encountered in Califor-
MIA a great deal of elamor for Government
control of not only the Union and Gen.
trail Pacific, but all the roads. Both OF
the propositions are opposed by the COM
missioner, who will submit his report to
the Secretary of the Interior on NoveEl-
Der 1st.
''In the first place" he said, ''the bonos
on these roads are not due until 1898, and
the Government cannot foreclose until
that time. If the Government should
foreclose, having only the second
mortgage, it would be compelled to pay
the first mortgage, amounting to many
millions. A Government such as ours
cannot operate railroads. In autocratlc
Governments it is possible, but not in
this. The demand for the foreclosure OF
the Pacific roads does not come from the
best-informed people of the Pacific Coast,
