Sir Rivers Wilson'S Views.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30-Sr Rivers Will
before the Senate committee
Pacific railroads and made argument as
the representative of the English bondhold-
ers and stockholders of the Central Pa
cifc Railroad in favor of the readjustment
of the Indebtedness of that company. He
declared that the continued existence Of
the company would be doubtful under the
provisions of the Reilly bill and urged more
liberal legislation. He did not present any
direct proposition, but intimated that the
Frye bill of the fifty-first Congress- which
funds the entire Indebtedness of the Pacific
roads for fifty years at the rate of 3 per
cent. interest, would be acceptable. He
said that taking the past five years, the
had exceeded the charges by about 81 500 900
per annum, and that sum would be sutfi-
cient to meet interest and keep the sinking
fund repienshed. The committee took no
action and there was but brief exchange Of
views after Mr.. Wilson concluded

The new Portland and Asiatic steam
ship line, which is to be established
by the Oregon Railway and Navigation
Company and the Great Northern Rail-
way, will begin its regular monthly ser.

val of Mr.. Davidge In the city tomor-

he approved by the st. Paul officials
Of the Great Northern, but 1t is
thought there will be no further hitch
in the program.
Portland merchants are greatly
pleased with the idea of this city nav.
ing an Independent line to the Aslatlc
coast, and predict that the scheme
will be a success from the start. 1t
will receive every support from the
business men of the city and state
and much or all of the trade with the
Orient which has heretofore gone by
way Of San Francisco, will be diverted
to the new line. The assistance of the
Great Northern, with Its Eastern con-
nections. will be Of incalculable benefit
TO the company. The beginning Of the |
service on May / will insure a good, |
healthy commencement to the enter J
prise The tea season In the Orient |
opens about that time, and this will |
enable the Oregon Railway and Navl. |
cation Company to get its hands on o |
lot OF cargo, which will prove very &C.
ceptable freight for the transconti |

1t is generally believed that the Prime
mover In tine new enterprise is the pres
ident of the Great Northern, Mr.. Hill
has an ambition to shine in the busl-
ness of the world as a great STEAMSHIP
magnate. He has already done somc
wonders In that line, and may do more.
AS president Of the Northern Steam-
ship Company, ne has built up a SER
vice between Buffalo and Duluth which
Is not excelled by that of any other
line on the lakes. The two principal
steamers Of the line, the North West

as are ahoat anywhere.

ing from wounds inflicted by Mrs. John
Payton, who committed the act after
Mutt in drunken rage had fatally shot

farms a few miles apart, ard Mutt
walked into Payton's house and gruff
ly ordered Mrs. Payton to get him
some supper. Mrs. Payton complied,
and when he finished eating, he delib-
erately drew his revolver and pointing
it at the woman, cried, I'm going to
kill you" Before she could move he
sent three bullets into her body. Cole
man rushed into the house with an axe
in his hand, but Mutt felled him with
two shots. Mrs. Payton with super
human effort, had raised herself from
the floor ard secured the axe. Rushing
upon Mutt, the woman rained blow af-
ter blow upon his head. Not until hel
victims head was a mass Of pulp,
did she desist, when she sanl, to the
floor unconscious. When Coleman
finally regained consciousness, he found
both Mutt and the woman lying in
great pools of blood. Both will die.

THE PROPOSED BOND ISSUE.
The Cabinet Discusses the Matter al
Length Yesterday.


Warrington, Feb 5.-The cabinet was
in session from before 10 a. m. till after
2 D. m. The subject of the discussion
was the pending bond issue. No author
itative statement of the character OF
the cabinet discussion can be made,
but 1t is believed that no final action
has been determined upon. There is
no longer any expectation of popu-
lar loan to be placed in this country,
as In that event the experience IF tire
last few months would be repated and
the gold reserve depleted The pur-
pose of the administration, 1t Is un-
derstood, is to place the entire issue
of bonds with London bankers, who
would pay for them In London gold,
and thus avoid, for the present at least,
the necessity Of paying our gold in
exchange for legal tenders. II is be-
lieved that the announcement of the
sale Of the bonds Will be made at an
early day.
