PAYING CURRENCY SKIES,
Soon the Treasury Will Meet the
Interest Due on Central
Pacific Bonds.
What the Guarantee Has Cost the
Government Since Road Con.
struction in 1865.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec. 2S.-Acting
Secretary Wike OF the Treasury to-day
gave notice that the United States per
cent bonds of the lace value OF 81, ,320, 900
issued under the acts of July i, 1862, and
July 2 1864, 10 the Union Pacific Railroad
Company, and commonly known as ''cur-
rency sixes," will become due and will be
paid at Washington, D. e., on the 1st day
OF February, 1896, and that interest on said
bonds will cease on that day.
The interest due January will be paid
at the same time as the principal, and
further accrued interest on February 1.
So far of these bonds there have been paid:
February, 1895, $2,32200ot November,
1895, $640,0OO Notice has already been
given that on January T. 1896. So, $50, 900 of
these bonds will be paid, making in all,
with the February ypaymentnearly $11 ,00O,-
600 out of the Pacific railroads paid for by
the Government.
Before July 1, 1896, another batch OF
these bonds will mature and unless Con-
gress provides for their extension. the
Treasury will have to redeem them. :"
In interest alone since the Pacific Rail-
roads bonds were guaranteed by the Gov
eminent in 1865, the Treasury has paid
out $105, 100000 j. o.,
The San Francisco call., 1895-12-29

"Of course it is only an emergency
measure. Chairman Dingley of the Ways
and Means Committee gives very COM
prehensive and sensible statement of the
bill and the situation in his report to the
House. 1t will be observed that, as he
says. the bill is intended to be in force
only two and half years, and by that
time, he states, it is expected the Republi-
cans will be returned to power, and Will
re-enact a permanent protective tariff
system.
Under the present circumstances it
doubtless would be folly to endeavor to
enact substantial protective tariff bill. 1t
probably would not go through the SEN
ate, and even if it did the President would
veto it."
Asked what he thought of the present
status of the controversy with England,
Mckinley replied:
"There is nothing now which seems to
call for any statement on that question
from me. The commission to investigate
the Venezuelan boundary line has not
been appointed, and no action has been
taken since the Presidents message that
throws much light upon the question. As
to what the finale will be, it is too early to
predict

A Friend of Senator Allison Tells a
Story Illustrative of His
Character.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 2s.-Tho
assignment of so many Northwest Con-
gressmen to important committees by
Speaker Reed is subject of much COM
ment among politicians. Ohio and Indi-
ana were neglected, and this gives rise to
the belief that Mr.. Reed does not fear his
rivals, Mckinley and Harrison, but real
ICES that Allison is the man he is to beat.
Reeds disposition of committeeships
has incurred for b i'm the enmity of many
Republicans, and it was shown in the op-
sition OF forty-five Republicans to his
bond scheme which passed the House
to-day. Many of these were opposed to
bonds on principle, but their caucus at the
Ebbitt House the other night demon
strated that there is considerable personal
feeling against the Speaker.
Among those who delivered bitter
speeches was Grove L. Johnson of Caliior-
MIA.
Meanwhile Mr.. Allison is making friends
rapidly. He is to-day by far the most
popular of all the Presidential candidates.
He is very courteous and affable in his
manner, and is a great favorite among
brother Senators, who delight to listen to
his seemingly inexhaustible supply of
anecdotes One of the Pacific Coast Sena-
tors said to-day:
s'Allison, shortly after his return from
Europe, told me a story illustrative of the
man, and which speaks of the force as vel,
as the absolute logic which are SO strongly
characteristic of the Senator.
al was riding on a German railway,
said Allison, where they lock up passen-
gers in small compartments. A big-mus-
tached, warlike person sat at one window
of the compartment while l sat at the
other. My window was up, for like cool,
fresh air, and as I was gazing out at the
landscape racing by and shifting the
breezes, suddenly and without word to
me, and without excuse or explanation,
the man with noble air and warlike mus
tache arose and. stepping around to my
seat, put down my window. Then he re-
turned to his own perch and settled him.
self with much massive calm.
I" He paid not the slightest heed to me
from first to last. To say that was aston
ished at the insolenee of the action
might family express my feelings, but the
whole affair was such q surprise-so un-
looked for-that before 1 recovered to the
point where I might have interfered it was
all over. The deed was done; my window
was down. Now, what do you think
did?'
Cant say replied, Put your win
dow up again?'
"sYou are wrong replied Allison. Il
did not put my window up. After Sec
ond's thought 1 stepped around to the
seat of my noble stranger and put his win
dow up
The Coast Senator continued:
"Allison will be very popular in the far
West, and / predict that he will have
more votes west of the Missouri River
than any other candidate. He is broad
gauged and liberal and altogether one of
the brainiest men in public life. He is con-
servative and at the same time courageous"

In consideration of the financial condi-
ton OF the country, it appropriates for the
fiscal years 18979S barely enough to enable
the board OF regents to organize and do
such preliminary work as should not longer
be delayed; at the same time opening the
door to all such as may desire in imita-
tion of George Washington to contribute
in any way to the great enterprise orig
mated by him.
