HUNTINGTON AND MAGulRE.
The Single Tax Congressman Was Worry
Plain Spoken With the Magnate.

WASHINGTON. June 15.-Collis =.
Huntington is still very much In evil
ience about the capitol. Mr.. Hunting
ton, however, is working very quietly
and very earnestly, lie has even been
30 bold as TO seek interviews with such
outspoken opponents as Geary and Ma
guiie of California. Hisinterview with
Representative Mcguire, the single
taxer. must have been interesting II
not amusing. MIR. Mcguire Is very
outspoken and does not hesitate
to express his mind on any sub
jeot. Mr.. Huntington made his
usual argument to the California con-
gresham In faver Of his "a, 600, 900
clsim and rcfunding scheme for the
Central Pacific debt. He then asked
for Representative Maguire's views on
tho subject. The report of the story
goes on to say that Mr.. Mcguire told
him frankly his opinion of what he
called a gigantic fraud on the govern
ment, planned and completed by Mr..
Huntington and his associates, and
frankly named the penalties he thought
should be imposed therefor.
Representative Mcguire, Il will DO
remembered, is the author Of a PROPOSE.
ton which differs from the personal
liability Idea under which Attorney
General Olney has presented the claim
of the government against the Stanford
estate. Mr.. Mcguire suggests hat the
stockholders of the Contra Pacific rail-
road and their heirs OF assigns may be
held 4 be involuntary trustees of "a
fund originally due the government
and which has been diverted from the
holders of the Central Pacific railroad.
Representative Mcguire has argued this
proposition with Il great deal Of clear.
ness, and not only before the house
committee but at the department Of
justice. IL Is reliably reported that the
department will include this idea IL
claims to be presented against the Hop
kins and Croclfer estates.
There Is also another idea advanced
which holds hat wherever shares OF
Central Pacific have been inherited in
these estates that they carry with them
the liability to the government of tho
original stockholders. 1t is understood
that the greater portion of tho stock
belonging to the Hopkins estate is still
held by them. Attorney General Olney
has placed the prosecution of these
cases in the hands of Assistant Attor
ney General Russell, who is said to be
very much convinced Of the strength d
the claim against the Central Pacific
stockholders. and he will doubtless
push the case In one form or another
with oil the activity possible.
