WASHINGTON, May. 1.--Today's session
OF the house committee on Pacific rail-
roads was given up to the hearing OF the
reorganization plan Of the Union Pacific,
in consideration OF the payment OF the
debt OF that road to the United States.
The following gentlemen were present
at the meeting; A. H. Boissevain of
Holland, @. Fl. Coster OF New York, Col.
L. H. Higginson OF Boston. Louis Fitz-
gerald OF New York, s. Carr of Boston,
members OF the reorganization commit
tee; F. L. Stetson, ]. w. Simpson and
Victor Morrowitz, counsel of reoganiza-
ton committee; o. W. Mink, E. K. An
derson, F. r. Coudsrt and Mr.. Doan,
receivers, and s. H. II. CLARK, president
of the company.
Mr.. Boissevain OF Holland, represent
ing the holders OF Union Pacific securi-
ties in that country, first addressed the
committee in the interests he repre-
sented. He believed that prompt ac-
ton was necessary and imperative so
that the reorganization committee would
not have to wait too long before begin
ming it's work. He could not endorse
the provision in the attorneys
bill concerning the lien proposed to be
given to the government in the re-
organization statement, and said that
he thought that the branch lines should
be left out OF such lien. Mr.. Boissevsin
said he represented between SIC. 600 900
and $40 900. 900 of the company's secari-
ties.
Mr.. Morrowitz, one oil the counsel for
the reorganization, said the counsel for
the committee were not entirely satisfied
with all the provisions submitted by the
attorney. One was that making appeal
to the District OF Columbia tribunal for
settlement oil litigation arising ae pos
sibls result OF the proposed reorganizs.
ton. Mr.. Morrowiiz submitted the toria
of bill which had been prepared by
the reorganizs alton committee, and which
he said was Identical with the bill pre-
pared by the attorney-general, with the
exception of section 8, which provides
in detail for the manner in which lore
closure proceedings shall be taken IN
case OF default in respect OF any obllga-
tion or condition for which any lien now
exists in favor of the United States upon
any property of the COMPANY.
Following Mr.. Morrowitz, the coma
mittee heard statements from number
of members OF the reorganization COM
mittee and counsel, during which the
history of the steps taken to bring about
the reorganization was gone over. There
seemed to exiet in their minds the belief
that the extending of the government
lien over the entire systsm of the Union
Pacific as proposed would pr I'VE serious
obstacle to the carrying out of the plan
of reorganization.
The COM mlttee adjourned until to-
morrow, when the counsel for the Cen
trial Pacific will appear.

its railroad column tomorrow that there
ia an extreme probability that the inter.
est on the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
ton company's mortgage 5's end SIS will
be defaulted for December. This will
bring about foreclosure proceedings.
This ia based on information privately
received concerning the nature of the
report made by the represen tativea OF
the foreign bondholders of the Oregon
Railway and Navigation company,
Messrs. Daugherty and Cook. These
gentlemen went over the ground very
thoroughly in January and have re-
ported. 90 the story goes. adversely to
the Union Pacific. The man sgement Of
the Oregon Railway and Navigation
company ia criticised severely, the re-
port citing many instances In which
terms and provisions Of the lease have
been ignored.
So strong was the report that Oliver
w. Mink OF the Union Pacific receivers
has prepared refutation OF the charges
WAS filed along with the report. A cir
oular has been cut calling on bond
holders of the issue mentioned to deposit
them on or before May 18th, in view of
the probable defalGation Of the Deem
Der interest, so that foreclosure proceed

SAN Francisco. May Ia highly sem
sasional complainst against the South
ern Pacific Railroad company was fled
here tVday by John r. Robinson. 1t
demands an accounting.
Robinson alleges that he was de-
frsuded of 10 shares OF the stock of the
Central Pacific railroad in 1877. At that
time the complainant alleges that the
stock was worth 81, zoe, 900 in cash end
Is, 600 acres OF land held in trutt by the
company, but to which the directors
claimed private ownership. Robinson
praya for judgment for $1,200,0e0 with
legal interest from April 27, 1877,
and Is $50 acres OF land or its equivalent
in money. The Central Pacific Railroad
company, The Huntington, Stanford,
Orocker and Hopkins-Searles interests
in the two compaaies and the widow of
A. A. Cohen, deceased, are made parties
to the suit. A sensational feature of
the case lie that Attorney A. A. Cohen,
while supposedly bitter enemy OF the
railroad companies, was really in their
employ. drawing $40, 600 a year, and that
while in that capacity he contracted
with Robinson to conduct law suit, by
which Robinson sought to establish the
fact that he had been defrauoed of the
stocks and properties which he now susa
to recover. In hia complaint Robinson
now alleges that his suit was compro.
missed by Cohen under these cream
stances for $17 200, of which Cohen re-
tanned 80 per cent as hie fee.
Robinson alleges that for come time
previous to his employment of Cohen
the lawyer and the railroad company
had ostensibly waged bitter warfare. but
that in reality the pretended trouble be-
tween the company and Cohsn was
started to induce dissatisfied stock
holders and other claimants to put theil
cases in the hands of Cohen, who in turn
sold them out to the corporation.
