The bill declares that there shall be no
other eInrloyes utless by a Iour-fiIths vote
of the Senate III cases of urgency where
more attaches are temporarily needed. BY
the bill it is proposed to have less than
seventy officers and attaches, or less than
half the number now employed. This is
confession that the Senate is paying
more than twice as much for its employees
than it has any need to do.
The bill provides similarly for the As
sembly. The pay of Chief Clerks to the
Senate is fixed at $S day, of assistants at
Sc, OF the Chaplain and stenographer at So.
The pay of the Judiciary and Finance
Committee clerks is fixed at $6 day. That

placed at 81. The pay of the postmistress

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 19.-The Senate is pre-

talked retrenchment and reform. 1t will
not reform, but by curious process it pro-
poses to reform its successor. 1t has not
done quite so well as the Assembly, for the
lower house did pass a resolution to dis
miss its useless attaches, although it did
not dismiss them. The Senate frankly ad-
mits its own extravaganza, but proposes to
save the State from future extravagant
Legislatures, though it will not economic

Senate through its committee says to the

Propositions of the Central and linton
Pacific Set Forth.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Several members
of the House Pacific Railroad Committee
gave hearing to-day to the representa-
tiyes of the Union and Central Pacific
roads concerning the proposition that the
Government accept the principal of it's
debts in full payment of its claims upon
the roads. Messrs. A. Boissevain and Vic
tor Morawetz, Charles H. Tweed and Sir
Rivers Wilson appeared for the companies.
The conference was entirely informal.
Tweed stated that the Central Pacific
people had discussed the plan since the
last meeting of the committee, had consid-
cred what their borrowing power was and
had come to the conclusion that they
could raise the required amount to pay the
principal if they could have the Govern
ment lien as a security for the parties from
whom they borrowed.
The question was raised by Chairman
Reilly as to what would be done under
this arrangement with the first mortgage
bonds, which fell due at the same time,
and if an extension of them would not be
necessary. Tweed said that the company
would be obliged to borrow for them, al
though it had no interest in their DISPOSE
ton of the claim if it was brought up.
Then the status of the sinking fund was
destroyed, and the committee members
argued that the Government would not
apply it to it's debt until the first debt was
settled.
Tweed held that the sinking fund be-
longed to the Government absolutely in
any event. In the course of the discussion

REVIVAL OF THE PLAN TO FUND THE

YEARS.
THE PRINCIPAL TO BE PAID.
RESENTATIvES OF THE UNION
PACIFIC.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Huntington has
departed, but he got in some fine work be-
fore he left. The House Committee on Pa
citic Railroads has agreed upon a scheme
proposed by Reilly, viz: For the roads to
pay their principal, and fund the interest
for fifty years at per cent.
This plan is agreeable to Huntington and
to the Union Pacific representatives. In
fact, many members OF Congress who
strongly opposed the Reilly bill say this
is the best plan yet proposed, and will sup
port it.
Among these are Boatner and Snodgrass,
who were of the minority in the committee
against the Reilly bill. Speaker Crisp told
Boatner week ago that if some bill could
be agreed upon in the nature of compro-
mise, it would be given time for con-
sideration.
Crisp said to Boatner to-day he con-
sidered the new plan an excellent one and
stated his belief that it would go through
without general opposition.
This is equivalent to saying that it will be
given day. The CALL correspondent pre-
diets that this bill, without material modi-
fication, will pass this Congress unless
White and Perkins can talk it to death in
the Senate. Mcguire, Caminetti and Con-
non will oppose it as well as they can in
the House, principally because it will in
effect release the directors and stockhold-
ers from personal liability, but their fight
here will be hopeless and many of their
former allies have already deserted them.

Three Men Arrested.

Fate seems to have decreed that
Miller shall have more or less prom
thence through arrests of criminals
here, as every little while some per.
sons come here for the purpose OF
being arrested. On Monday morn
ing three men rode into town from
the west on horses. They stopped
at the Preston house for breakfast.
Shortly afterwards the Hyde county
Sheriff Gerhard, Link kitterman and
l.. +. Whitcher drove into town.
Summoning eX-sheriff Walsh to their
assistance they presented guns to
the three hors9men while the latter
were seated at breakfast. They
made no resistance, and we're soon
in iron. Only one of them carried a
gun.
These arrests were made upon the
strength OF circular received a day
or two ago, saying that four prison
ers had broken jail in d Montana
town and were headed for eastern
South Dakota, giving a description
OF the men saying one was wanted
for murder, the others orhorse steal
ing, and Offering a reward of $3.50
for their arrest. The men gave the
names of Dunnegan, Holt and Chase,
and said they were from the Black
Hills. Hyde county's sheriff took
his prisoners to Highmore, and is
now awaiting identification by Mon
tana authorities.
Word was received Tuesday from
Highmore that the three men arrest,
ed had no trouble in proving their
identity, and they were turned loose
They could have done that here, il
the HighmOre officers had given them
a chance.
