WASHING TON, Jan. 49, - The first
move toward the contamination of
President James j. HIPS cherished
scheme of an airline railroad between
Duluth and Denver was made in the
United States senate to-day, when Sen
ator Davis introduced bill incorporat-
ing the Interstate Transportation COM
pany. The bill authorizes the invest
ment of the sinking fund of the Union
Pacific railroad in the bonds of rail-
road to be built between Sioux City,
To-. and Julesburg, Neb. Sixteen
thousand dollars per mile is 10 be in
vested, of which $4,000 IS to be paid on
the completion Of each five miles, the
balance upon the completion of the en-
tire line. One of the incorporators of
this road is ex-Speaker W. r. kinyon,
of Owatonna, Mimi, and among
the others are men who are connected
with the old Midland Pacific, which
has a bridge partially completed across
the Missouri at Sioux City. Senator
Pettigrew is in the scheme. and there is
every occasion to believe that Sam Hill,
who has been in conference with Sena-
tor Davis nearly every day and had a
meeting with him today, is directing
the operations. At Juiesburg the pro.
posed road will connect with the Union
Pacific. Denver Il Gulf, which runs
straight to Denver. As in the case of
several other railroad schemes of the
Pickerel statesman the road will pass
into the hands OF the Great Northern
when completed. The Denver IL
Gulf. while in the past controlled by
the Union Pacific, is a separate road,
and is one Of that corporations parallel
line schemes.

DUPED AND BULLDozED.
How Ex-Treasurer Taylor Acted
With His Friends.

40" EA~ hCGG0
With His Friends.
PIERRE, S. D., Jan. Is. - EX~Goy.
MelletIe returned this morning from
hasty trip to Chicago, whittier lie went
to look after his interests in connection
with TayloI's defalcation. 1t will he
recalled that the trust deeds that Taylor
held of all Mellette's property were re-
corded and mortgaged to G. II. Wells,
Chicago. MeIette is satisfied that Tay-
lor has been RAINING behind for three
years. He thinks Taylor mas duped and
bulldozed his friends and bOndsmen all
along. He says also that Taylor prob
ably took very little money with him.
At the last moment Taylor paid three
notes Of $40, 900 each OIL which his father
was indorser. Two of these notes were
given to the Lafayette bank and one to
the Chase National. of New York. 1t IS
not known what Taylor could have
done with the balance of the $4,000
which he drew from the treasury during
December. Mellette had several con-
ferences with j. T. McChesney, who
says Taylor made different statement
as to his liabilities every time he talked
with him.
What l have been in Chicago for"
continued the ex-governor, was to try
to get property in such shape that we
b0ndSmen can raise more money on for
the state than the state can for itself.
The financial depression in South Da-
kota is so great that property can only
be sold at sacrifice. If the state could
hoIu our property until something
nearer its real va!ne could be realized
on it we would be satisfied. But it is III
absolute need of ready money. We
don't like to have our property simply
credited on the bond for the amount
which it would bring at forced sales.
SO We are trying to see ii we cannot Sc
cure more money on it than that, both
for thu benefit Of the state and OF our
selves. 1t cannot be done through
regular channels. Money is not HOW
seeking investment in South Dakota. If
we succeed it will Only be through the
aid Of friends"
State Auditor Nipple makes the fol-
rowing statement: The statement that
Col. Thomas II. Ruth, the commissioner
OF school and public lands, had aided
Or abetted w. ". Taylor to defraud the
state through violating the statute in re-
gard TO sending out vouchers too late
for the second appOrt0nment OF 1891 OF
the permanent school fund is absolutely
untrue The statute provides that on
or before the 10th day of May and No.
Yember of each year the commissioner
of school and public lands shall cause
to be made an estimate of the amount
of funds which shall be in the treasury
on July and Jan. l, and shall notify the
counties of their apportionment SO
made. The statements OF the clerk,
supported by the statements OF the
officials. was that on tie 10th OF Novem-
Der Col. Ruth should have sent out the
money so apporti0ned. 1t now appears
that lie could not do so under the law
until the 1St OF January.

REVENUES ARE INCREASING
Officials Hopeful That Another
Bond Issue Can Be
AVerted.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-There was
another big row at the. night session or
the house tonight, which grew out of
the events which TRANSFERRED last week.
Feeling ran high and bitter words were
spoken. 1t started after the failure OF
an effort to increase the pension of the
widow of Gen. Abner Doubleday and TO
pension another widow who performed
services as voluntary nurse during the
Rebellion. Both bills were blocked by
tile obstruction of Jones (Dem., Va.l.
Cooper Dem, Ind resented this and
turned on Jones savagely and with
much temper charged him with lack or
chiYalry in assaultlng the fair sex.
I. Jones absolutely denied that there
was any foundation for the statement
that he was fighting women. "All | am
fighting for" said he, lis against the
granting of large pensions to the rich.
powerful and influential"
II question the motive of the gentle
man from Virginia" retorted MIR.
Cooper, hotly. Il believe he is actuated
by the sentiment expressed by him last
Friday night when he said he was
proud of the cause he had fought for in
the trenches. Although he has taken
an oath now to support the flag that
floats above us, Mr.. Speaker pointing
to the American flag above the speak
er's desk, he now displays toward 1t the
same spirit of opposition he did when
he struck at that fag thirty years ago. L
have right TO say il, because he him.
self has said it."
Mr.. Simpson Pop. Kan.J, Mr.. Cox
Dem, Tenn and Mr.. Moses (Dem.,
Ga,) were drawn into the controversy.
Feeling ran high and it looked for sew
eral minutes as If personal encounter
might occur Mr.. Simpson continued
to taunt Mr.. Jones, declaring that he
was not only surprised but ashamed
that a man should come from the South
and say that he still believed in the lost
cause.
Mr.. Albert. of South Carolina, at last
came to Mr.. Jones' rescue. He was
white with rage, and while deprecatlng
the continual appeal 10 sectional pas
sions, asserted that such appeals usu-
ally come from men who were lnYlslble
i'll time Of war and iuvnclble in time of
peace. LAS to the lOsH cause" he
shouted, lit is the everlasting cause,
and can never be lost because 1t IS the.
cause Of liberty"
Mr.. Jones got the floor just before the
time for adjournment was reached. He
branded Mr.. Cooper's language toward
him as language unworthy OF gentle-.
man. Il want to say" he said, THAT
when the question was asked me last
week | answered that | was DrOHd of
the lost cause. To say believed my
cause was not right was SANDER L
always said and maintained everything
as l do now, that know that cause was
right"
At this point the hour of 1880 D. nj.
arrived, and the house stood adjourned
under the rule. Had the debate been
prolonged, amid the excitement and
feeling that had been engendered, it
might have degenGrated into a personal
combat.

up. WANTS AN EXTENSION.
Their Latest Offer for Securing
the Governments Debt.

the Governments Debt.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1S.--A petition
from the stockholders of the Union Pa
cific Railway company was presented 10
congress today, offering to assess its
stockholders sum sufficient to pay all
bonds which have priority over the lien
of the United States. in consideration of
all extension of the debt of the United
States for fifty years at per cent. The
petition sets forth that part of the
debt for which the government is re-
Sponsble, amounting to $50. 539, 512, will
mature before the meeting of the Fifty
fourth congress. They represent that in
consequence of the business depression
there has been a marked falling Off in
business, amounting TO 4S per cent of
the gross earnings for the first ten
months i'll 1894 as compared with the
first ten months of 1898. and that this
has resulted in failure to meet the in
tereSt of the bonds on various divisions
of the road.
The propositions for changes in the
Reilly bill, which were submitted to the
house committee on Pacific railroads by
representatives. OF the Union Pacific,
have been rejected. The vote taken in
committee today was unanimously
against ADDING any material amend
ments to the measure which is now on
the calendar of the house. That pro-
pnsal upon which the Union Pacific
laid most stress, a reduction OF the rate
or interest on the government debt
from to per cent, met with general
favor.
Amendments to meet the views of
railroad receivers and shareholders may
be made when the bill is before the

COMO RACES TODAY.
THE TRACK IN FINE SHAPE
AND STANDS ERECTED.
Some Good Horses Will Be Out
and Much Interest Manifested
Electric Starting Bells.

Half an hour after the snow ceased to
fall yesterday the Capital City Driving
club had team at work clearing It's
Como track. Att o'clock this morning
the park board will start two additional
teams, and there is no doubt that the
course will be in splendid condition by
the time the races begin at 2:3O this
afternoon. An exact quarter and half
mile have been carefully staked off by a
surveyor and stands have been erected
for the starters. Judges and timers at
the start. quarter mile and finish. There
are to be electric starting bells, and no
detail will be neglected.
Unknown and dark horses are numer-
Gus, and there has been deal of quiet
betting on the results. Both the free.
f0r-all and the three~minute races
will. without doubt, be closely contested
and exciting. The great annoyance of
laying up heats will be avoided, for
there are to be but three heats in each
run. and in case no horse wins TWO
heats. all the horses will be cred
tied with their respective positions in
each heat. Then the horse with the
lowest total numeral against him wins
the race.
For instance, if "Billy's KID won the
first race and was twice second. his
score would be I, and ?. or five in all.
and if ''Helen Marr' came in second,
first and third, respectively, her score
would be ,. I and 3, or in all. "Bilfy's
Kid" would accordingly be given the
race. This plan is an innovation and
does away with protracted racing. by
which the spectators are tired and the
horses worn out. At the present time,
especially, owing to the absence Of
sleighing until very recently, the ST.
Paul horses are all out of condition and
moi fitted to take part in contest re-
curing numerous heats.
The activity of the driving club, to-
gether with the favorable weather, has
! been of much benefit to all lines Of
business connected with road horses.
The blacksmith and carriage shops are
Overcrowded with work.
1 Several sales of well-known local
horses have been made lately. ''BnIy's
! Kid" has been purchased by Dr.. Cor
cOran, the dentist; j. g. Moulton has
sold Come" to Frank Brady. and
George Bonney bought Helen Mari"

baUit.
