U. Z. RAILROAD DEBT.
No Radical Changes Likely to be Mad
in the Reilly Bill.

No Radical Changes Likely to be Made
in the Reilly Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE House
Committee on Pacific Roads to-day con-
sidered the propositions for a settlement
made recently by the representatives of
the Union Pacific. Francis l.. Stettson
was present during part Of the discussion
to explain more fully the view of the
company. From the tenor of the talk, it
seemed improbable that any radical
changes from the plan in the Reilly bill
will be made, although minor amend
ments are under consideration. The
company's proposal that the rate of inter-
est be reduced from 3 to per cent. did
not find much favor. The Reilly bill pro-
vides that in the event OF default of any
payment for ninety days the entire debts
mature, but an amendment was added
making it operative at the option OF the
Secretary of the Treasury. Half an hour
was consumed in debating proposal that
the Government assume the 1irst mort
gage of the Union Pacific, which, with
the application of the sinking fund to its
payment, so far as it will 60. leaves a
debt of S20,000,O00. 1t was argued from
the company's standpoint that the COM
pany will be obliged to pay per cent. on
this, while the Government should carry
it at 2 or q per cent, and the saving in
| interest be applied directly to the Coy
ernment debt.

SUGAR TRUST CASES.
Demurrers of Defendants to Indict-

Demurrers of Defendants to Indict-
ments OverruIed.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Ail demurrers
offered by defendants to the indictments
against President Havemeyer and Secre-
tary Searles of the American Sugar Re-
tinely Company, Broker Seymour and
Correspondents j. J. Edwards and j. o.
Schriever were overruled to-day by Judge
Cole in the Criminal Court and defend
ants required 10 plead to the indictments,
The cases VIII now probably go direct
to the United States Supreme Court on
writ OF ha beas corpus, following a plea
or not guilty by the defendants.
In the two cases against Edwards and
Schrleyer, the newspaper correspond
ents, the court said the only additional
features to the stock brokers' cases were
whether they should be excused from
answering on the ground Of privileged
communications. 1T has never been
contended before in court OF Justice. :"
said the court, that newspaper editor,
reporter or correspondent or anyone en-
gagged IN the newspaper business is to be
considered person with whom a conf
dential communication may be lodged
and protected as between attorney and
client or priest and confessor. There
could be no more dangerous doctrine
than that newspaper might obtain in
! formation whose effect might work great
| injury and detract from the reputation or
character OF party or body, and that the
| claim OF privileged communication
might then be made. That rule would
! be very demoraliZing. There being no
| law to that effect which the court could
| follow, the demurrer in both cases must.
therefore, be overruled, and the defend
ants must answer by pleading to the in
dlCtment."

sugar trust officials, Messrs. Havemeyer
and Searles, and it held that the ques-
tlons as to the amount contributed by
the corporation to campaign funds were
| pertinent and proper. The question was,
said the court, whether pending legisla-
tion had been affected by the fact that the
sugar trust, so-called, had made a large
contribution to the campaign. AS gen
! eral proposition it is undoubtedly true
| that Congress has not the right to inquire
as to contributions made by CORPORA
| ton. But the influence on legislation by
such contributions is another question.
Vow, if the action of the Senate and Of
| particular Senators had been controlled
| by contributions. then Congress had the
| right to inquire into it, and the amount
| of the contribution was of very grave i'm
! portance. These witnesses answered
| everything up to the question OF the
amount. About this Congress had the
right to inquire, and these gentlemen
should have answered. AS to the con-
! tention That the Senate Committee had no
| right TO inquire because the contribution
appeared to be local and not national was
| declared to be immateral.
1t is said to be probable that the de-
! PENDANTS will now be surrendered by
their bondsmen, pleading guilty and be
| placed technically IN jail, but in the GUS
| tody of the United States Marshal, and
that the next procedure will be to apply
| to the United States Supreme Court for a
writ of habeas corpus.
