away. No arrests were made. The

Washington, Jan. 1S.-A petition of
the stockholders of the Union Pacific
was presented to Congress today, of
fering to assess its stockholders a sum
sufficient to pay all bonds which have
priority over the lien of the United
States in consideration of an extension
of the debt of the United States for
fifty years at 2 per cent. The petition
set forth a part of the debt for which
the government is responsible, amount
ing to 500, 599, 512, will mature before
the meeting of the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress. They represent that in conse-
quence of the business depression
there has been a marked falling off
in the business amounting to As per
cent. on the gross earnings for the
first ten months in 1894, as compared
with the first ten months of 1898, and
that this has resulted in failure to
meet the interest of the bonds of vari-
Gus divisions of the roads. The propo-
sitions for changes in the Reilly bill,
which were submitted to the House
Committee on Pacific Roads by repre-
sentatives of the Union Pacific road,
have been rejected.
The vote taken in committee today
was Enthusiastically against adding any
material amendments to the measure
which is now on the calendar Of the
House. That proposal on which the
Union Pacific laid most stress is a re-
duction of the rate of INTEREST on the
government debt from to 2 per cent.
