THE PACIFIC RAILROAD DEBTs.
A Bill Ready to Be Reported From the
House COMMITTEES.

WASHINGTON CRY. July f4.-By a meet
ing which lasted all day the house COM
mittee on Pacific railroads was able TO
finally finish the problem which has en-
gagged it throughout the session. and TO
reach a practical agreement on a
plan for final settlement of
the debts of the Central and
Union Pacific. The bill which will be re-
ported to the house will. in its main feat
ures, be the one introduced by Chairman
Reilly, with some important amendment
for the second draft of it, The time for
the settlement of the debt TO the govern
ment is fixed ut fifty years, and semi
annual payments are TO be made
in liquidation of it. Interest
is TO be at the rate of 8
per cent per annum. The principal
amendments adopted today were in the
dire, tion of making the government hold
upon the property ironeisd, and insuring
il from losing any OF its rights

oAKLANp, Cal, July 1I-Notwithstand-
ing the presence of armed guards and
military force OF 100 men scattered through
the railroad yards ON Oakland mole today,
the strikers succeeded in frequently inter-
rupting traffic at that point. About noon

suburban train at Weed street and at
tempted TO pull non-union fireman from
the cab. Prompt police Interference pre-
vented delay Of more than ten minutes.
Later in the day another crowd, num-
hering fully 600 strikers. gathered at
Seventh street and stopped the first
freight train that was started out
The non-union fireman was dragged
from the locomotive. He was res
cUed from the mob by policemen. and
Roberts, local president of the American
Railway Union, escorted him back 20 the
locomotive. Again the mob interfered
and the engineer abandoned his comrade
and pulled on 20 the next siding. The
fireman was badly pummcled by the
strikers. In the early evening the strikers
stalled another train that had been taken
from the yards under an escort Of two
companies OF artillery, one marching on
either side. A mob of strikers ran far
ahead aud piled boards, ties and stones
upon the track. At Sixteenth street they
succeeded in cutting the tram in two. 1t
was several hours before the trainmen
could be got out of their predicament
In spite Of ali this rioting and disorder
the railroad officials are succeeding In mov-
ing nearly ali of their local passenger
trains on time. The through passenger
train from Los Angeies--the first since the
strike was inangurated--arrived in tha
morning. On that train was party ot

the desolate Mojave desert The overland
train, known as the New Orleans express,

the overland train via Ogden and the Ore
gon express were not sent out. An over
