SHORT LINE CASE IN FRISCO.


Sam Francisco, June 2t.-Transerlpts
were filed today In the United States CTR
cult court of appeals here upon the ap-
peuls which have been taken from the
Oregon circuit from a decree passed IN
one of the Union Pacific receivership
suits and pending in Oregon, to-wft: Thar
in which the order was passed appointing
Egan receiver of THE Oregon Short Line
and Utah Northern Railway Co., the
properties extending from Wyoming to
Oregon, with branches Through Utah,
Idaho and Montuna. Receivers certif,
Gates, 1t seems, were ordered to issue
(a.though 1t Is alleged the road was earn
ing more than sufficient to pay operating
expenses and maintenance), to an amount
Of about one million dolbirs, chargeable
as a Hen upon the road, 10 aid the Amer
lean Loan and Trust Co. to pay the in
terest due upon the first mortgages upon
the properties; the bondhiolders and stock
holders of the company holding the bonds,
In both the first and second mortgages,
protested against the issuance of GER
tificates for this purpose. Ut is to test
the validity Of the receivers certificates
iss Ied, not for the maintenance, OPERA
ton or repairs, but purely to enable tho
second mortgage to pay the interest on
the first mortgage, that the appeals are
taken.

COMMENTS ON WILLIAM.

Paris, june A.-The newspapers gener-
ally regard Emperor Williams speech at
Hamburg as incited by a desire to be
agreeable, rather than expressive of his
read sentiments. The Estaffel declares
that Ut is necessary for realization OF
the wishes expressed by the Emperor
that France and Germany should be rec
onciled, l. e., that the question of Al
sace-Uorraine be settled. The Soliel re-
marks that in spite Of the pacific tone
of the emperors uttennces, morose per-
sons remark that peaceful festivities have
sometimes preceded terrible wars.
The Raphael, referring to the same
subject, says that Europe does not be-
lieve that peace is the sole object OF
the opening Of the canal.
According Ito. the Radical, the simplest
N ethod of assuring peace is for Germany
to surrender what she owes to war, ap-
parentay referring to Alsace-Lorraine.
