Washington. Jan. 2S.-Mr Brice,
chairman Of the senate committee on
railroads, pI resented report from the
committee concerning the Pacific rail-
roads. The report is not based on any
Dill before congress and is intended
SIMPLY to supply the senate with all
the information obtained in the in
debtedness of the Pacific railroads to-
gether with brief history of both
the Union Pacific and the Central Pa
cific systems.
The reports makes no direct recon-
mendationS, but urges the Importance
of taking up the question of the Pa
cific road Indebtedness in the follow
ing terms: ''The present practical
question of the Indebtedness of the
bond-aided Pacific railroads is of vast
magnitude and the highest Importance
Its solution and settlement, are i'm
peratively demanded, not only. by the
United States and the roads them
selves. but also by the communities
and people which they serve with rail
road facilities, and by the holders of
valid securities issued or guaranteed
by the railroad Companies. If meas
ure of relief will be provided it ought
to be comprehensive and far-reaching
enough to embrace I'll of these inter
ests. 1t should especially aim to pre-
serve the rights Of the United States
in the premises anu be such as the
roads can live under In dealing with
the subject more regard must be had
for the present conditions than for
past grievances"
After a discussion of various meas
ureS making secure the government
Indebtedness on the Union Pacific, the
report says the operation of bond-aid-
ed Pacific roads by the government
would be fiat failure. "And we are
abundantly satisfied that on the cues
ton of governmental policy, it would
be, at present and under the existing
circumstances, unwise, and fraught
with serious consequences to the re-
public and with results far reaching
and in the end injurious
In the case of the failure of these
plans they suggest the only alternative
would seem to be to fund the Union
Pacific debt for considerable period
of time, at a rate of interest common
surate with the earning capacity of
the road. This" says the report,
sis the plan which has found most ia
vor with the financiers and those who
have given this subject much atten-
ton"

Washington, Jan. pa substitute
introduced in the house by Mr.
Boatner member Of the committee
on Pacific railways, who made the
minority report against the Reilly bill
The bill provides for a commission to
consist of three members who are to
receive salaries Of $4,000 and to be
given powers of management usually
exercised by railroad directors, in case
Of default.
The house went into committee Of
the whole on the consideration of the
bill to repeal the differential duty i'm
posed by the tariff bill ON sugars from
bounty-paying counties. Mr. Hop
kins, of Illinois, who spoke in oppo-
sition to the bill, devoted considerable
time to proving that Germany's pro-
hibition placed on the impor tation of
our food products is mere pretext He
protested against an abject surrender
to Germany and argued that if the bill
was to be passed an amendment he
had given notice of requiring Germany
to remove her restrictions on our
meat before her sugar should be re-
ileved of the differenta1 should be
adopted.
Mr.. DOlliyer. of Iowa, denounced
Germany's position as a disgrace to
which the United States should not
bow. Germany said he, tasks us to
wipe out Texas fever by removing the
tax on sugar and to exterminate tri-
chinosis in Germany by an act of con-
greSs. l am opposed to answering
German horse doctors with an act of

Washington. Jan. 29.-The United
States has exhausted all proper means
in preventing the hostile collision be-
tween Mexico and Guatemala. Sec
rotary Gresham's telegram to Mexico
representing the hope of the president
that the matter might be settled by
reference to some friendly nation met
with a fiattering reply from the Mex
lean government, but in substance it
holds that the difficulty with Guate-
mala is such that owing to the atti-
tude of that country, it win not admit
of arbitration. The Inference is that
Guatemala must either promptly sub
nit to Mexico's terms or surrender her
claims to the land in dispute of bound
airy, or fight. In this state of the
case nothing can be done by the
United States at present to avert a
clash.

Washington, Jan. 29.-There is seme
doubt whether the house committee
on banking and currency will agree to
report bond bill to the house today
The democrats of the committee are
divided in their views On all financial
legislation and some of them are ir-
revocably opposed to a bond issue.
One members who favOrs the presi-
dents plan says he does not believe
more than four or five democrats on
the committee will vote for it. The
balance of pOweH accordingly, rests
with the republicans in the committee,
,, as it does in tie house. Chairman
Springer believes the republicans will
vote to report a bill and will aid the
democrats in the house TO pass it. Mr.
Hit, one of the republican leaders
says his party is for a bin by ma
jority Of sixteen to one.

An Attempt to Compromise

Interesting Proceedings Relative to the
Disposition of Senator Fairs Millions-s
The Litigation over the Wealth OF MRS.
Fair,

SAN FRANcIsco, CAL, March 1.-Charles
l.. Fair has received SGO0,000 bequeathed
by his mother to the eldest son, James G.
Fair. when the latter should attain the age
of So years. After considerable litigation
the supreme court decided that the legacy
which reverted by Mr.. Fairs will, should
not be paid TO him until James would have
been IS years had he lived.
During the litigation Mrs. Herman 0el-
richs. the eldest daughter, attained the
years for the payment to her OF 81 500 600
according to the will of her mother. The
contest of Charles stopped the payment to
her and incidentally even the payment to
Charles of the income of 5000 month
from the estate.
The appeal was suddenly dismissed by
Charles Fairs attorneys after the death of
ex-senator Fair. The amount of the be-
quest to James has now been advanced to
Charles by his sister, Mrs. 0elrichs.
Charles will thus be equipped with the
means to carry on the contest of his
fathers will.
Interesting proceedings in relation to the
will of Senator Fair have recently been in
progress. An attempt has been made to
affect compromise between the four
executors and trustees.

TO STA RT TIL E MILLS.



puse of Beginning Operations.
Workmen have commenced TO put in a
12-inch mill at the works of the Johnson
Forge Co., in South Wilmington, and
other repairs are being made there for the
purpose of starting up the plant, which
has been idle for more than wear, with
the exception of one or two intervals,
when some small work was done.
1t is not definitely known when the
plant will start up but it is thought that
it will be in full operation about the first
of April.
The new machinery. it is understood,
will allow the firm to manufacture all
kinds of merchant iron and steel. 1t is
reported that when the new machinery is
started the balance of the mill will be put
in operation.
The residents of the South Side look
upon this move on the part of the John
son company as an indication OF better
times. for il is understood that it is the n-
tention of the management to keep the
place in operation continually after it is
started.
Just how many men will be given work
could not be ascertained, hut the mere
fact of the place starting up is hailed with
delight by the people of South Whining

Memorial Service at the NJ. E. Church.


Special CORRESPONDENCE Gazette and journal
MIDDLErowN, March 4.-Memorial SER
vices were held in the NJ. II. Church yes
terday afternoon in memory of the late
pastor, the Rev. Nicholas NJ. Browne, and
Edward II. Rice and Miss jamie Leather
berry, both of whom had been closely
identified with the interests of the church
for many years. The regular Sunday
school services were omitted, and the
audience was a large and representative
one, including members of the congrega-
tions of all the other churches. Thescene
in the church when the grand character
and loving kindness of the deceased
pastor was being told of by his most inti-
mate friends and members of his cons
gregation, will probably never be forgotten:
and it was one of the most touching and
pathetic incidents in the history of the
church. Women wept softly and tears
coursed down the cheeks of nearly every
one present. The chair at the chancel
which the deceased was in the habit of
using, was draped in black and ha.musio
rendered included his favorite selections.
No pastor was ever more truly mourned
than Rev. Nicholas NJ. Browne. Mr. NJ.
B. Burris read a paper on the memory of
the deceased and Mr.. w. u. Wright, j. B.
Roberts and Superintendent A. g.. Cox
made short remarks. Miss Lottie Jones
also read a short story, which was very app
propriate
Mrs jamie L. Walker, who died on
December 10th last, was a great favorite
among the members of the church, and
an earnest worker in the cause, and the
paper read in her memory by Miss Addie
iazzard was very touching. Miss Mary
Il. Burris read memorial paper on Ed
ward d. Rice, who died on the 22d inst,
after being identified with the church for
10 years, and Superintendent Cox spoke
kindly Of the deceased. The services lasted
fully Two hours.
