HUNTINGTON SYNDICATE ArrAoKgo
Central Pacific Being Starved and the
Union Pacific Crippled.


Omaha. Neb.. Sept. 1.-THE Omaha Bee
has column editorial today discussing
the Pacific railroad question and the
probable solution of the Interstate SUBJ
ject by the next congress-. The article
is devoted mostly 10 the possible future
Of the Union Pacific. After discussing the
history of the road from its inception
and the imperative demands for a change
the editorial refers to the numerous eff.
forts of railroad rings to wreck the prop
erty and adds:
During all this time congress has been
saving wood. The officers of the federal
government. who should have interfered
to protect the government and moved for
the recovery OF the property diverted and
stolen, have not lifted finger. The only
thing attempted up to date is the suit in
California against the Leland Stanford es-
tate. and that has already turned out to
be farce.
In dealing with the past the Pacific
railroad debt congress should as a pre-
ll,ainary step. require the Union and
Central Pacific roads to be operated as
one continuous line. 1t should first and
foremost compel the Huntington syndi-
cate. which controls both the Southern
and Central Pacific, to take its hands Oft
the throat of the Central Pacific and give
ii a chance to do business. AS it now is
and has been for years, the Central Pa
enc is DelnS starved 10 death and the
Union Pacific Is being seriously crippled
by the policy which the Huntington syn
dictate is pursuing.
Not only has there been a systematic
diversion of freight from the Central to
the Southern Pacific, but the whole road
has been so shamefully neglected as to
make 1t impossible for the Union Pacific
to compete for the through traffic from the
coast. The very latest effort to hamper
the Union Pacific is the proposed aban-
donment of all but one passenger train
daily between Ogden and San Francisco.
AT the same time the Southern Pa
cific has recently supplemented its pas
senger trains by a new palace coach flyer
which is advertised to reduce time ana
afford luxurious accommodations. How
can the Union Pacific be expected to earn
operating expenses under such conditions,
unless they lay up surplus to pay off it's
bonded debts?"
Something must be done by congress
III the governments interest in the Pa
cific roads is to be protected and people
in the central belt who depend on those
roads for an outlet to and from the
coast are to have the transportation IA
cilities to which they are entitled"

Avoid Responsibility.


Avoid Responsibility.
San Francisco, Sept. 15.--The claims
of Andrew McKinstry and the heirs Of
Patrick Shields against the Chilean
government are once more attracting
attention here.
McKinstry and Shields were sailors
on the American ship Keewenawa and
IN 1891, while in Valparaiso. they were
brutally beaten by the Chilean police.
Shields afterwards died from his inju-
ries. A claim for damages against
Chile was instituted by the United
States in behalf of the injured sailors,
and President Harrison in his annual
message made special reference to their
cases. The cases were considered by a
tribunal In connection with those of the
U. s. s. Baltimore sailors. but 1t was
found that McKinstry and Shields were
British subjects. though serving on an
American ship. Consequently their
claims were thrown out. Lord Rose
berry, the late premier of England,
championed their cause, however, and
another tribunal composed of German.
British and Chilean subjects Is now
considering the claims in Valparaiso.
A copy of the demurrer of the Chilean
government DtcH reviewed IN LnlS
city. and the endeavors Of the South
American republic to avoid the re-
sponsibility are considered rather re-
markable In the demurrer the attor-
ney for the government states that the
police records Of Valparaiso contain no
mention of the beating of the abused
sailors, or of the reasons for such treat
ment. If they were injured. Also Chile
objects to foreign tribunal to try the
cases. as it is considered humillating to
Chile.
The allegation Is also made that II
Is discovered that the sailors the day
they were arrested drank a bottle of
pale beer in saloon, and that possibly
their minds became clouded, so that
they imagined that they received in
juries, when in reality they had no,
been hurt at all. This statement is
made in spite of the fact the men were
covered from head to foot with wounds
and bruises from which they never re-
covered.

doctors are not in favor with the health
board and can take no prominent part
in the suppression of the epidemic. If
