Saturday afternoon proposed sue. a
amendment to the Reilly bill, but lde
house was so intent upon defeating that
measure that 1t refused to consider the
Turner amendment.
Brice says such arrangement would
have to be made with duo regard to The
different com panies controlling the bond

section OF the road is controlled by
different company. and neither he nor
any one else is authorized to make any

Meeting lines would be glad enough to
enter into such arrangement with the
government and TO offer shsir propor-
tionate amount of the full sum settled
upon.
The sseDator says that. according to
his idea. this is the beet way out of it
for the government. The sum of $751;
100000 is mentioned because that is
about the amount of the pr incipal owed
to the government by all the roads of
middle Pacific aystem.
OF course, In accepting such plan the
government would completely throw
away the immense sums of interest it
has paid upon these government bonds,
but the outlook for regaining the full
amount due it is now 40 hopeless, or else
is so involved in interninsbls difficulty
as TO be we'll nigh hopeless.
1t is not unlikely, in view Of his en-.
dorsement of the scheme. that Senator
Brioe will, as chairman of the senate
committee on Pacific roads, make such
proposition in the senate. He expects
to hear from some of the roads inter.

be devised by which they will be able
to raise sum equal to the principal
