TO FUND THE DEBT.
Thurston Favors the Anderson
Proposition

Thurston Favors the Anderson
Proposition.
OMAHA, Neb, Jan. l7.-General So
licitor Thprston, of the Union Pacific,
stated today that Mr.. Anderson's propo-
sition as to assessing the stock of the
company and extending the government
loan to fifty years at 2 per cent was the
fairest scheme which could be devised
for the protection Of the government
debt. He thought it would prove very
acceptable to the stockholders, as 1T
would wipe out the first mortgage in
debtedneSS and make the government
interest first mortgage on the prOp-
erty.
, Il would like to see the Pacific roads
taken care Of at this session of congress.
I but the chances are against any rene
dial legislation now"
Mr.. j. II. Millard, who is large
stakeholder in the property. said that if
the other stockholders agreed to the as
sessments he presumed he would be in
line. He thought, however, that the
government debt ought to be wiped off
the slate, and the road made independ-
ent of government interests. The
sentiment of other prominent Omaha
Union Pacific stockholders is in accord
ance with Mr.. Millard'S idea.

Some Opinions Expressed by Cam

Some Opinions Expressed by Can
didates and Legislators.
Hon. S. q. Comstock was in a good
humor last night and said that he had a
busy day. He felt satisfied with the
situation to degree that made him feel
that the legislature would dispose Of
the senatorship at the proper time in a
creditable way. He has no regrets over
what he has done thus far and feels that
the result will be satisfactory.
Senator j. II. Smith said last night
that he felt encouraged in his support
Of MIR. Comstock. He places the vote
for that gentleman at 30 on the first bal
lot. He spoke in the highest terms Of
praise of the campaign made by Mr..
Comstock and behaves that he deserves
success.
Congressman McCleary said last even
ing that he is still keeping up heart
and will trust to the legislature to dis
pose of tine senatorship as to them may
seem best.
Congressman Fletcher declared that
the Washburn people have confidence
Of success. He added that the other
side begins to realize that something is
about to drop.
Hon. r. q. Evans returned last night
from st. Louis, where he has been at
tending the United States circuit court
of appeals for a week. After con.
ference with Senator Washburn and
others of the camp, he said that he

no question but the other roads will use
1t for their west-bOund business and
bring down frost on the through busi-
ness of the Union Pacific. The Rock
Island and the Burlington roads have
prepared notice which will be served
upon the Union Pacific as soon as it is
definitely understood that no reorgani-
ton of passenger business can be ef-
fected. The notice will be to the effect
that the Rock Island and the Burllng~
ton will receive business originating Oh
the Union Pacific west of Cheyenne
and destined to points in Iowa reached
only by the Rock Island and Burling-
ton as though it originated in Chey.
enne. That is, they will allow the
Union Pacific nothing for the haul it
makes west or Cheyenne, nor any pro-
portion for the haul they make in Iowa.
This is simply forcing the Union Paci-
tic to do for them what they are now
doing for it,

SAD DAY FOR BUTTE.
Funeral of Explosion Victims to
BE Held Today.


he Held Today.
BUTTE, Mont, Jan. 1.-THE public
funeral over,the remains of fremen, po-
lcemen and others killed by Tuesday
nights explosion will take place to-
morrow. 1t will be gloomy spectacle.
All the hearses in the city have
been engaged for the occasion,
and in addition to the public
funeral number of the dead will be
given private funerals at the homes of
relatives. The financial loss is much
smaller than was at first estimated, not
reaching over $l5O,O00. The Under
writer's association of San Francisco
hat subscribed $500 to the fund for the
families of the firemen, and about Sl2,-
600 has already been raised locally.
Butte is abundantly able to care for
the afflicted, but 1t has been decided
that to permit local pride to stand be-
tween the sufferers and outside gene
rosity would be great injustice, and
the contributions from other points
have therefore been accepted. There
are widows and dependant rela-
tives of the dead to be cared
for and children to be educated and the
amount of money raised will be none
too large. The people of Butte are re-
spending generously.

Prospects of Moro Vigorous Boy.
cott Against That Road.

CotC against mat hOau.
4 CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-NO progress was
made by the Western lines today
towards the formation of passenger
agreement. The Union Pacific has not
accepted the proposition of the other
lines to keep the haul via Ogden and
leave the Denver business open to di-
vision and there is small chance that it
will accept it. 1t absolutely refuses to
make any concessions unless the boy
colt against it is removed. This boy
ptt was applied only because the
Onion Pacific would not agree to allow
the other lines the same privileges
Which4it demands from them. This is
the weak point in the attitude or the
Union Pacific and the real reason why
that line would not accept the PROPOSE
tiou of the other lines for board of
arbitration. The other Western roads
are nearing the end of their patience
with the Union Pacific and if it persists
In its present attitude there is likely

an agreement between the Western
lines. If separate receiver is appoint

Aside from the breaking of the strike
