AN Editors Wite's Efforts to Secure
the Release OF Her Husband.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 19.-The steam
ship City of Sydney is in quarantine off
Mission Rock, because man was put
ashore at Acapulco, nine days ago, with
symptoms of smallpox. Among those
quarantined are Colonel John Bradbury,
proprietor of the Los Angeles HeraId,
and his wife. Bradbury's mother, brother
ana other relatives were passengers on
the steamer, having returned from trip
TO the Rosario mines in Mexico, accom-
panied by Colonel Polk, Superintendent
of the mine.
Colonel Bradbury went out on the GUS
toms tug to meet his relatives. and was
ordered luto quarantine along with the
passengers by DR.. Lawlor, the Quaran-
tine officer. Bradbury was naturally
annoyed at the detention, and his young
wife, left alone at the Palace Hotel, used
every effort to secure her husbands re-
lease. Failing in this, she hired row.
boat and quietly approached the steamer
at night. The boat was warned off by the
watch, who suspected smugglers. Not to
be outdone, Mrs. Bradbury secured per-
mission from the Pacific Mail officials to
board the steamer, and the following day
went out to the City of Sydney in tug.
She announced her intention of sharing
the exile with her husband, and is now
on the steamer as the special guest OF the
Pacific Mail Company.

PACIFIC RAILROAD DEBTS.

The House Committee Gives a Hearing
to Representatives of the Roads.
WAsHIN GToN, Feb. 19.-Several mem
bers OF the House Pacific Railroads Com
mittee gave hearing to representatives
of the Union and Central Pacific roads
concerning the proposition that the Gov
ernment accept the principal of its debts
in full payment of its claims upon the
roads. A. Boissevain and Victor Mora
wetz, Charles II. Tweed and Sir Rivers
Wilson appeared tor the companies. The
conference was entirely informal.
Mr.. Tweed stated that the Central Pa
citic people had discussed the plan since
the last meeting of the committee: had
considered what their borrowing power
was, and had come to the conclusion they
could raise the required amount to pay
the principal, if they could have the Gov
ernment lien as security for the parties
from whom they borrowed
The question was raised by Chairman
Reilly what would be done under this ar
rangement with the first mortgage bonds,
which fell due at the same time, and ii an
extension of them would not be neces-
sary.
Tweed said that the company would be
obliged to borrow for them, although it
had no interest in their disposition until
Lu6 Cldlul was brought up.
Then the status of the sinking fund
was discussed, and committee mem bers
argued that the Government would not
apply 1t 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 Mora
WetZ declared that the Union Pacific must
be reorganiZed; that its continuance I'M
der present conditions was impossible;
that it did not ask a new charter from
Congress, as it could reorganize under
State authority.
Reilly said there was a question about
its right to 90 that.
CHAIRMAN REILLY proposed to the repre-
sentatlVeS OF the companies a new plan
for the settlement of their debt, which is
practically variation of the Reilly bill
De proposed that instead OF raising the
nrst mortgage debt, and extending the
Government debts, the companies should
pay the principal of the Government debt
into the treasury; that the interest on the
Government debt should be extended
and the first mortgage debt be extended
under the terms of the Reilly bill, to be
pald IN lnStallineats through period of
nity years, with interest at per cent.
Ihe advantage over the pending bill
winch this plan presents is that the treas
ury would receive the amount of the
principal OF the Government debt instead
OF the holders of the first mortgage bonds
being given a settlement, and the Gov
ernment debt, principal and interest, be-
ing extended.
Ihe representatives of the Union and
Central Pacific took the suggestion un-
der consideration, and will give their
views on it in a few days.

Divided on the Question of Free
Coinage, With Possible Majority

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The proba-
bility that the Jones silver bill will Sc
cure hearing in the House, if it is passed
by the Senate, is very small. An appar-
emily impossible barrier stands before
the first step necessary to bring it before
the House, the favorable report from the
committee. The bill will be referred to
the Coinage, Weights and Measures Com
mittee, of which Mr.. Bland, the silver
advocate, is the Chairman, in the course
of House routine, but, unfortunately for
the silver men, that committee is very
narrowly divided on the question of free
coinage, with possible majority of one
against it. With a full muster of the
seventeen members, there are eight to be
listed on each side of the question. with
kilgore of Texas holding the balance of
power. kilgore was formerly free-silver
advocate, but has been recently thought
to hold views antagonlstlc to free silver.
An additional advantage for the oppo-
nents OF free silver is found in the ab-
sence of Sweet of Idaho, who is engaged
in contest for the Senate at home, so at
best the silver men could only hope for a
tie vote in committee.
Chairman Bland says he will exert
every influence in his power to secure a
quorum if the Jones bill is sent to the
House, but he does not entertain strong
hopes that he can secure report on the
bill. Ii it could be reported he could call
it up as privileged in the House, and the
body would be compelled to place itself
on record on the silver question uneu-
numbered by other issues, proposition
that it has not yet been called to vote
upon.

Detective Harris succeeds in Getting

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. I9-Detective
Harris of the United States Secret Serv-
ice returned from Suisun to-day with the
plant OF Giovanni Montelbaum, a coun-
terfeiter, who was captured at Vallejo a
week ago.
Moutelbaum, who is Sicilian. made a
counterfeit that all the banks OF Solano
County took without question. He Sc
lected cabin a couple OF miles from
Suisun, on the side OF = gulch, for his
habitat. and prepared a cave on the other
slope of the canyon for his workshop.
THE cave was difficult OF access, and the
entrance was so arranged that 1t would
have been hard to lind il, even if one had
known of its existence. IL was reached
through hole, which had a lid covered
with earth and grass. The cave had a
furnace with chimney, the outlet OF
which was in a ciump Of brush.
The couuJerleiter was SO careful in his
work that he did not even keep his plant
in the cave. When be had done with it
he took the molds anu metal and buried
them in different points, and also buried
his counterfeit money. This was 50
abundant that Harms brought back so in
unfinished dollars, quarters and dimes.
A bag OF the stuff was found at the loot
OF nearly every bush III the vicinity OF
the cave. Four plaster OF paris inoIds
OF fine make were found wltE the IadIe
and metal. The comDound used was OF
anthony, tin and isinglass. 1he molds

and the pieces needed only polish anu

BOSTON, Feb. ia letter referring to
the massacre of Armenians, just received
by resident of this city, who, for obvi-
GUS reasons does not wish his name meu-
toned, is of great interest, because of
having been written from part OF Tur-
key entirely remote from that whence the
letters hitherto published have come. 1t
indicates most deplorable state of
affairs. Under date OF January IIth the
writer says:
Inc extraordinary quarantine preCau-
tons taken by the hitherto immovsble
Iurk with regard to cholera, that was still
far away, have now been explained by
tdlngs that have come from Moosh.
Ihere Is very strong evidence that gen.
eral massacre or series of massacres of
Christians has been understood by local
governments to be the order of the day
Lhere is an activity and energy displayed
py the Government in recent efforts to
encompass the Christians and put Off
Ihelr names and existence. that points to
newly formed plan to be put into exc
cutlon with as little waste OF time as pos
Sible."
referring to case which came under
ms own nouCe the writer says: "a Pro-
testanL woman was assaulted by three
turks. They were tried and found guilty,
but an Infamous court, under the iutlu-
ence OF the still more infamous Govern
ment, reversed the judgment and released
the guilty men,"
From this state of things there is no
remedy the writer says. No appeal can
be made, and such crimes will becomes
more frequent than ever Terror and
amazemenL have taken hold of the people
10 such an extent within the past few
months as TO become manifest even in
Inelr countenance. Attempts have been
made by officers and soldiers to draw
Christians into q quarrel, but have SO far
Jailed. Most OF the officers are taking
possession of the property OF Christians
and doing just as they please without re-
gard TO law or Justice
