ACTION TO FORECLOSE.

Proceedings to BE Degun by the Govern.
ment Against the Pacific Roads.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-It is anthem
tically reported that the department. of
justice contemplates action to be taken
at all early date looking to the fore
closure by the government of the Union
Pacific, with the probability also of
similar proceedings against the Contra!
and Kansas Pacific. Action is consid.
cred imperative to protect the govern.
ment's interest in those holdings, and
has been deferred pending action by con.
gress. A very large portion of the first
mortgage bonds, as we'll as the second
mortgage, will mature with the begin
ming of 1897. The holders of the first
mortgage bonds would naturally have
priority over the government, but it is
said that the attorney general has con.
strued the original and amended Pa
cific railroad acts as comforting ample
authority upon the government to pro-
coed irrespective Of any course which
the first mortgage holders may see fit
to take.

National Dishes OF Germany.


There is picture, more or less we'll
known, from the brush Of humorous
and perhaps patriotic German painter
that very accurately describes the pre-
vailing impression concerning the Ger
man palate The picture in question rep
resents a charming young German girl
picking cabbages from Christmas tree,
and beneath the painting an inscription
which, being freely translated, means
that Germany offers q wonderful kitchen
to the contemplation Of civilization.
This national taste for cabbage is car
ried into their Christmas dinner. That
meal consists Of boiled pork and sauer-
kraut. sausages. black buildings, goose
stuffed with chestnuts, cheese cakes and
baked apples, beef with sour sauce,
smoked goose and potatoes, washed
down with beer. .5....: -

TREATY is COMPLETE
THE ANGLO-AMERtCAN AGREEMENT
READY FOR SENATORIAL ACTION.

Copy Of tho Document Forwarded to
Lord Salisbury : Week Aeo-lt WEI
Probably Be Signed and Returned to
Warrington In Time for Ratification
Immediately ON the Reasssmbling al
Congress After the Holiday Recess.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 24.-There Is no
longer any doubt that the general ar.
bitration treaty between the United
States and Great Britain is practically
completed to the satisfaction of both
governments and that its presentation
to congress may be expected in the
near future. Several minor amend.
ments have been suggested and accept.
ed from time to time during the prog.
ress ct the negotiations. but it is now
confidently believed that the clear copy
which was forwarded to Lord Sails.
bury by Sir Julian Pauncefote about
week ago will at once receive the for.
NAL approval of the British premier
and be returned to Washington in time
to be presented to the senate for ratifi.
cation mediately. on the reassembling
Of congress after the holiday recess,
Jan. s.
The life Of the treaty purposely is
made very short-only five years-but
this is with the expectation Of re.
newal for a longer period If it shall
prove to work we'll and also to afford
easy opportunity for amendment. Its
purpose is to dispose
Peacefully aad Honorably
Of such questions as arise between the
United States and Great Britain aud
will not admit of adjustment by the
ordinary means of diplomacy, exclud.
ing questions involving the national
honor. The personnel of the arbitra.
ton commission is to be of the highest
character; men selected from the
judiciary of each country in equal
numbers. three from each side, and
provision is made against failure
through tie vote by the bringing in
of an umpire. Neither the Venezuelan
question nor the Bering sea issue are to
60 before this commission. but its first
work probably would be to close up the
Alaskan boundary controversy and
some other open issues OF minor inter.
est but real importance Unlike the
Venezuelan boundary arrangement.
this treaty must 60 to our senate for
ratification. and the house of repre-
sentatives also will have an oppor.
tunity indirectly to pass judgment
upon it, for legislation will be neces.
sary to provide the means to maintain
the commission.
