Allen denied. At the same time, Mr..

story as ''an assassin of personal char
acter and more dangerous to the hap
piness and welfare Of the community
than an army with banners

FINALLY FINISHED.
Plan For a Settlement of the Debts
of the Union Pacific and Central
Pacific Roads.

Plan For a Settlement of the Debt,
of the Union Pacific and Contra
Pacific Roads.
Washington, July 14.-By meeting
which lasted all day, the House Com
mittee on Pacific Railroads was able
to finally finish the problem which has
engaged it throughout the session and
to reach a practical agreement on a
plan for the settlement of the debts of
the Central and Union Pacific.
The bill. which will be reported to
the House. will be in it's main features
the one introduced by Chairman Reil-
ly. with some important amendments
for the second draft of it.
The time for the settlement of the
debt to the government is fixed at SO
years, semi-annual payments in liqui-
dation of it to be made. Interest is to
be at the rate of per cent. per an
mum. The principal amendments adop-
ted today We're in the direction of
making ironclad the governments
hold upon the property and insuring it
from losing any of it's rights by the
new arrangements; also in obligating
the provisions for a purchasing COM
mittee in case the property should
change hands the committee not
deeming it best to anticipate such a
contingency.
According to the plan, the first
mortgages amounting to $65, 000, 900, will
be paid as they mature clearing the
property of debts on which it is pay
ing per cent; the sinking fund, now
amounting to s1S000,00O will be de-
voted to paying the first mortgage
The governments lien, which will be-
come the first lien under the plan, will
draw interest at per cent, the prin-
cipal being paid in graduated semi-an-
nual payments through a period of SO
years.
Propositions were made during the
discussion to have this period re-
duced to 40 years, but it was conclud-
ed that in the present condition of the
meet such requirements. The period
of so years is a reduction of one-haIf
of the time originally proposed in the
bill
A member of the committee made a
stand for the government ownership,
taking the position held by the Cali
fornia members of Congress, Mcguire
and Geary. His views did not gain
the support which they might have
had if it had seemed clear that the
railroads would become paying pro-
perty in the hands of the government.
Even had that been the prospect, most
of the committee expressed themselves
as opposed to the government owner
ship on general principles.
Under the bill, however, the govern
ment will foreclose if the corporations
fail to meet their payments. The
amended bill will be printed and SUBJ
mitted to the committee early in tbe
week. when a formal vote will be TAX
en-.
The Senate Committee, of which SEN
ator Brice is chairman, has held no
meetings lately, and is understood to
be- waiting for the House Committee
to take the initiative and frame a
bill which can pass.
