PHILADELPHIA, May 7.-Ex-Post-
master-General WanAmaker proposes to
build a hotel in this city at which any
one may be fed and housed free of any
cost whatever. The primary object of
Mr.. Wanarnaker was to establish an
institution for the reformation of inebri-
ates, and in connection with this to
build an inn where unfortunates could
find home. He has been giving the
matter considerable attention of late and
is now determined to carry his plans
out. Since the matter first occurred to
him he has been broadening the scheme,
and now intends to not only establish a
stopping place for drunkards who may
desire to reform, but to provide tenn
porary home for any unfortunate So
journer who may be without funds,
but possessed of a healthy appetite and
desire to sleep elsewhere than in q
warm corner or in cherries freight

agreement with any other transconti-
mental road. If either the Union Pacific
or Central Pacific shall not consent 10 re-
organization as provided by Congress then
the Government shall foreclose on the lien
OF the recalcitant roads.
The directors do not undertake to recon-
mend any specific sum which the Secretary
of the Treasury is authorized to accent
from the two roads, but in conversation
with The CALL correspondent to-day Mr.
Coombs suggested S71 100000 The latter
having been appointed by President Cleye
land because he had never been mixed up
in railroad business" as Mr.. Coombs him
self states, and being practically the Presi
dents personal representative in the
matter, it Is a fair assumption that
Coombs' report may be Incorporated or
alluded to in the Presidents message tn
the next Congress.
Mr.. Coombs said to the correspondent
to-day that it was his belief that Congress
would not grant any further extension of
time to the Pacific roads in which to Law
their Indebtedness. He is anxious that
Congress shall adopt his recommendations
and says that the effect of such a re-
organization would mean practically a
competing road for California. Bat the
California shippers who have suffered at
the hands of the Southern Pacific and are
familiar with the tactics of Mr. Hunting
ton may be inclined to doubt whether any
reorganization can be effected whereby
OenIi al acllc rates may compete With the
Southern Pacific.
Mr.. Coombs is actuated by motives of
friendship for Californians and by per-
sonally disinterested desire to offer solu-
tion of the Pacific railroad problem, but it
is also very evident that this proposition
of reorganization will meet with favor from
the Union Pacific folks and with deter
mined opposition from Mr.. Huntington
and his lobby.
