THURSTON GIVES HIS HAND AWAY.
Government May Take, the Road Now,
but 1t Must Pay the First
Mortgage Bonds.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 21.-In the United States
Circuit Court Judge Walton II. Sanborn
to-day handed down decision upon the
application of E. Gordon, dealer, and
Oliver Ames, second trustee for the first
mortgage of the bondholders of the Union
Pacific Railroad Company for separate
receiver for that portion of the system COW
cred by the first mortgage.
The decision, or order, covers seven
closely typewriter pages, and, in effect,
grants the application. The receivers ap-
pointed are the same as those now in
charge of the entire system, namely: S.
R. r. Clark, Oliver w. Mink, E. Ellery
Anderson, John w. Doan and Frederick
R. Coudert. The order provides that the
funds already earned by the road be used
by the receivers to settle debts and just
claims under the present receivership.
In effect the decision to-day simply Sc
questrates the old lines from the rest of the
system only so far as the accounts are con-
nected, SO that the property covered by the
first mortgage shall be within easy reach of
the mortgages.
The property covered by the first mort
gage referred to in the order is that placed
upon the main line of 1895 miles, extend
ing from Omaha to Ogden, and no other.
The other portions of the road and the
branches, while under the management of
the same receivers, will have a separate
system of accounting, although they will
be run by the same executive.
Before he issued the order Judge Sanborn
stated that he had changed one clause,
making future earnings to certain extent
liable for present Indebtedness, as he felt
that too much protection could not be given
the present receivers in the Ames case. 55He
stated, however, that before making any
order to pay any of the present indebted
ness he would always give the plaintiffs in
the foreclosure suit the privilege of hear
ing.
Attorney Pierce, for the compliments,
stated that he was perfectly satisfied with
the order. The Judge then called for the
appearance of the Union Trust Company
and that of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company. Mr.. Pierce represented one and
Attorney Kelly, in behalf of the Union
Pacific, the other. Judge Sanborn ap-
pointed Mr.. Kelly special clerk and mes
senger for the court to carry the order and
the appearances to the clerks offices of the
northern district of this circuit at Omaha
and place them on file.
Judge Sanborn stated after the order had
new receivers in nowise changed the man
ner of operating the system, but that the
future surplus earnings of the main line
would now apply to the payment of the
first mortgage bonds.

SALT LAKE, Jan. 21.-Major Henry G..
Goodspeed, who came to this city in 1870,
representing the Chicago Inter Ocean, the
New York Graphic and the Boston Trav-
eIer, died at 1915 o'clock this morning
from maladies that made him sufferer
since last July. He was borniin Cape Cod,
Mass, in 1885, was educated in the schools
there and then removed to Hartford, where
he engaged in the hardware business.
Encouraged to write by the success of
contributions to the Eastern press, he
came West and wrote series of widely
read articles on Mormons. Through his
efforts and with the assistance of John
Deere, the millionaire, of Moline, he estab-
lished Hammond Hall, an institution in
Salt Lake founded to counterfeit the Nor
mon doctrines by its educational influence.
During his long residence in Utah he di-
rected the expenditure of over 5000, 900 in
the development of successful mines. Dur
ing President Garfeld's administration
Major Goodspeed was offered and refused
the governorship of this Territory. A
widow and daughter, now in the East, sur
vive him. The remains will be sent East
for burial

DuNsMUIR, Jan. 21.-The snowstorm of
Yesterday continued till this evening and
then changed to rain. Train 16 left Edge
wood at o'clock this morning and got
into Sisson this evening, where it is held.
Train Is of to-day arrived here six hours
late and is held here.
About noon big avalanche of snow
came down from the high mountain on
the west of the river just above Upper Soda
Springs and buried the track sixty feet deep
under snow, trees, brush and rocks. 1t
started three miles up the canyon,
where the snow is forty to fifty
feet deep, carried down everything in
its path and crashed into the river and
away up the other bank and damned the
river till it ran dry below. The debris will
have to be shoveled out, and much oft
loaded on fatcars and carried away.
About 100 men are at work on it tonight,
and special has started from Red Bluff to
pick up all the section men and hurry
them up to work tonight. The track can
not be cleared before tomorrow night, and
maybe a day longer, as other slides are re-
ported.
Superintendent Cooley says there is more
snow on the road above Sission than there
was IN the blockade five years ago. 1t is eight
to ten feet here and fifteen to twenty-five
up at Black Butte summit, where the road
runs around the base of Mount Shasta.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 21.-To-day was one of
the worst ever experienced by railroad men
on the mountain divisions. The snow fell
heavily all day, and was blown in ever
increasing drifts from Gold Run to Truckee
on the Central Pacific line and from Delta
to Ashland on the Oregon line, necessitat-
ing the constant running of the rotary
plows between these points.
However, the railroad officials, by exer-
cising constant vigilance, were enabled to
keep the road clear and the trains running.
This morning large force of snow-shov-
elers were forwarded to those points where
there seemed to be danger from snowslides
to be in readiness to avert any serious diff
Guilty.
| The overland express, due here at AS
A. NJ, was over four hours late and the
Portland express, which should have ar
rived at 20 A. NJ. on Sunday, was delayed
at Red Bluff and did not reach here until
late hour last night.
The latest official reports received show
that during the previous twenty -four hours
the snowfall was as follows: Truckee, 8
inches, on the ground feet inches; Sum-
nit "a inches, on the ground 20 fleet inches;
Cascade 80 inches, on the ground Is feet;
Cisco 20 inches, on the ground 16 feet 3

southern route, and he thinks it high time
that Huntington and his fellow directors
and stockholders should be compelled to
part with the Central Pacific, so that Cali
fornia may derive the advantages OF a
lower freight tariff, that would undoubt-
edly be the result of railroad competition.
Representative Cannon of California says
he favors no compromise, and will under
no circumstances vote for any funding
proposition.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 21.--The Pacific rail-
roads debt question will in all probability
come up in both houses of the Legislature
tomorrow. The numerous resolutions petl-
tioning Congress against the Reilly bill or
any other measure proposing the refund
ing of the Central Pacific and Union Pacific
debts and also demanding foreclosure of
the mortgages held by the Government
against those roads, were up before the
Senate and Assembly committees tonight.
The resolutions will be reported back to
both houses tomorrow. The Senate Ju-
dietary Committee agreed to report back a
resolution against the Reilly bill or any
other refunding scheme. That portion of
the resolution which demanded foreclosure
OF the Government mortgages and the
operation of the roads by the Government
was stricken out by the committee.
The Assembly Committee on Federal
Relations took similar action on the reso-
buttons before it. There were before the
committee three resolutions by Bledsoe,
Belshaw and Cargill petitioning against
any refunding of the debt and in favor of
Government ownership of the roads.
Hatfield of Sacramento, chairman of the
committee, and Bettman of San Francisco,
were open in their hostility to the resolu-
ton. Weyse of Los Angeles seemed to be
uncertain, and Glass of San Luis Obispo
and Sanford of Mendocino had little to
say. They could arrive at no conclusion
until an executive session had been
held. Then it was announced that the
committee had decided to recommend
resolution not against the pas
sage of the Reilly refunding bill or
in favor of foreclosure of the mortgages,
but simply demanding settlement of the
debts owing by the two railroad companies
to the Government. Bledsoe and Belshaw,
who appeared before the committee to
urge favorable action on their resolutions,
departed in anything but a pleasant mood
before the committee went into executive
session

CONGRESS MUST act.
Judge Thssrstost Tells the Reason for the
foreclosure Proceedings.


Foreclosure Proceedings.
OMAHA, Jan. 21.-The Union Pacific at
torneys who went to st. Louis to assist in
foreclosing the first mortgage returned to-
day. Speaking of the suit Judge Thurs
ton said:
"The situation of the property had
reached point where foreclosure was in
evitable. The first mortgage interest is in
default and the system in the hands of
receivers. The first installment of Sc, 475,-
600 of the principal will be due on January
2, 1896, and there is no possibility of this
amount being paid by foreclosure sale. This
foreclosure of the first mortgage on the
part of the Union Pacific main line is really
the last foreclosure to be brought, as the
mortgages on the Oregon Railway and
Navigation, Union Pacific, Denver and
Gulf, on all the divisions of the Oregon
Short Line and Utah and Northern, Kan
sas Pacific, Denver Pacific, Kansas Central
and several other branch lines are already
in process of foreclosure and receivers have
been appointed under all of them.
This foreclosure does not prejudice the
Government interest in any possible way.
The Government can come into this case
and foreclose its mortgage as a second lien
or it can foreclose independently, but al
ways subject to the first mortgage. The
time has now come when Congress must
either act during the present session or the
matter has passed beyond legislation and
must be settled by the courts. am very
glad this is so, because it will relieve me,
as Senator, from the responsibility of legis-

Senator Perkins and M. H. de Young
came together in the dining-rooms of the
Golden Eagle this afternoon. De Young
was at a table near the door with
friend and Perkins was already at
another, further down the hall. AS
he passed out Senator Perkins adj
vaneed to see De Young, saying,
very cordially, "Mr. de Young, l greet

FIGHTING REILLY'S BILL.

The Strong Campaign Being Carried On
Before Congress.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The New York
Herald and World, having come out
strongly against the Reilly funding bill
and in favor of foreclosure, Californians
are somewhat encouraged. Still, they are
not at all sanguine and believe Reilly's bill
can't be defeated. Boatner OF Louisiana,
member of the House Committee on Pa
cific Railroads, showed the CALL CORE
spondent tonight an amendment he was
preparing. The effect of it is to appoint a
Government receiver to take charge of both
roads The Government is not to operate
them as tollroads, as in the Mcguire and
Caminetti bills, but the receiver is merely
to act as the general agent of the Govern
ment and ascertain the percentage of earn
ings to be set aside annually and applied
to the debt.
A novel feature of this anti-funding bill
campaign is that Mrs. Caminetti, the ac-
complished wife of the California Con-
gresham, is taking an active part. She is
of the opinion that the railroad was re-
sponsible for her husband s defeat, and she
is determined to influence as many mem
bers as possible. She is in dead earnest,
and with lady's rare tact and diplomacy
is quietly doing all she can in the cause OF
her husband
Representative Cooper of Indiana, for
merly member of the Pacific Railroads
Committee of the House, expects to say
something on the refunding proposition
next week. He favors selling both roads

night Master Mechanic Manning of the
Nebraska division said that the amount OF

The Missouri Pacific began to retrench
to-day also. The men at its Sedalia shops
were laid off on half time.
NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-The receivers of the
Union Pacific report that January and
June, 1894, coupons on Utah Northern rs
