the Union Pacific announced it's willing
ness to accede to the wishes of the other

The change in the attitude of the Union
Pacific people induced corresponding
change in the sentiments of the Northern
Pacific, and there seems to be no longer
any reason why the Union Pacific should
remain outside the committee.

MURDERED NEAR WASHINGTON.
The Body of Missing Chinese Found

in the Tales.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 4.-This morning the
body of murdered Chinaman was found
in the tules, on the William Todhunter
place, couple of miles up the river from
the bridge above Washington, Yolo
County. The murdered Chinaman's name
was Lon Dock, and he was employed as a
ranch hand. He has been missing for a
couple of weeks.
When last seen he had some money on
his person, having been paid his wages.
1t is believed that the object of the murder
was money, although it may have been the
work of highbinders in return for some
offense against their organization. Lon
Dock was quite well known among the
Chinese. When his disappearance was re-
ported his friends as far away as Los
Angeles aided in a search for him.

TREASURE OFFICIALS RErIcENz
There Are All Sorts of Stories In flashing
ton About Bonds.

There Are All Sorts of Stories i,s Washing
ton About Bonds.
WASHINGTON, Feb. $50 far as can be
learned there has been no change in the
bond situation. All the officials are ex-
tremely reticent ON the subject and de-
cline to either affirm or deny any of the
rumors brought to their attention.
One rumor, which had an apparently
good basis, was that the bonds for the new
issus were already being printed at the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing, but,
like the others, it could not be confirmed.
The consensus of opinion is that bond
issue to foreign purchasers, directly or in
directly, will be made very soon, and that
all arrangements to this end are substan-
TALLY complete.
The amount which the administration
contemplates issuing, and may give notice
of at any time now, is S100,000,000, to run
thirty years. Arrangements, it is be-
lieved, have been practically concluded,
assuring the Government that these bonds
will be paid for with foreign gold.
A spirit of serenity pervaded the Treas
ury Department to-day that was quite in
contrast with the anxious looks and hur-
ried movements of the officials last week
Secretary Carlisle was in his Office and saw
all corners, which he has been unable to do
for some time past. In answer to all in

the financial situation.

PUEBLO, Colo, Feb. A special to the
Chieftain from Trinidad says: George Nc
Cormack, formerly night operator at El
Moro, a station on the Denver and Rio
Grande Railroad, eighty-five miles south of
Pueblo, was probably fatally shot by a
robber at 10 o'clock tonight.
F. Cole, the present night operator and
Mccormack were talking in the station
when a masked man entered and COM
manded, 'eHold up!" discharging his re-
volver at the same moment. The bullet
struck Mccormack in the left breast and
he fell over unconscious. Cole fired five
shots at the robber, who disappeared in
the darkness. A physician and officers
have been summoned from Trinidad.
