The B. & o. r. r.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-It is intend
ed to make the reorganization of the
B. & o. road as quick an operation as
circumstances will permit. Members
of the reorganization committee be-
lieve it can be completed within the
present year. While the general con-
dition of the property is bad, investiga-
ton has shown it 10 be not as bad as at
first supposed. The circumstances at
tending the receiyership have not
hitherto been understood. The facts are
that when the four New York directors
entered the board early in the winter
they provided money for the company
on the strength of statements made by
the then president and the chairman OF
the finance committee. Very soon
there was second call for money and
it was received with great surprise by
the New York directors. As it was
evident that they had been misinform-
ed as to the state OF the company's fl.
nances the New York directors refused
to furnish more money until they had
satisfied themselves as to the exact ma
iure of the situation. The board of
directors subsequently decided that a
receivership was advisable. An ex-
penditure of between 100000 and
81 100000 on equipment is required.
The question of cutting off brauces or
connections is receiving serious consid-
Grafton, but up to this time no decision
to eliminate any of the subsidiary lines
has been reached. The Baltimore Sc
curity holders committee was organic.
ed to prevent, if possible, the ultimate
taking away from that city of the con-
troll of the Baltimore and Ohio. 1t was
not formed to oppose the reorganization
committee. 1t is reasonably certain,
b " ever, that the control of the prop
erty will pass to New York.

CONGRESSIONAL.

The Senate INDUCED in an acrimon-
ious political debate yesterday, which
developed much personal and party
feeling, and brought on two sharp per-
sonal exchanges between Mr.. Hill and
Mr.. Elkins, and between Mr.. Brlce and
Mr.. Elkins. The controversy arose
over Mr.. Hills motion to strike from
the pending appropriation bill the pro-
posed change of the date of assembling
the New Mexico legislature from De-
cember to May. The debate took a
wide range, Senstors tiorman, Faulk-
ner, Cockrell and other democrats at
lacking the provision as political, while
Senators Elkins. Carter, Cullom and
other republican Senators defended it,.
Mr. Cullom sought to table MIR. Hills
motion, but motion to this effect fail
ed, 81 to 90, whereupon MIR. Cullom
Welded to the Hill motion, and the
New Mexico provision was struck out.
At the close of the day the Senate
passed the legislative appropriation
bill, carrying sd 100000. Aside from
providing the usual appropriations, the
bill is important in effectiDg a reform
of the system of compensation for q. S.
district attorneys and marshals, sala-
ries being substituted for fees. The Sem
ate adjourned until Monday.
The appropriations committee at
tempted to take up the sundry civil APP
preparation bill in the House, as stated
in Yesterdays GAZETTE, but the mem
bers interested ia the bills on the
private calendar defeated the attempt
by a vote of 142 10 II. The victory,
however, was completely barren so far
as the southern men were concerned,
as, after the House went into commit
tee, the republicans forced a motion to
pass over all claims on the calendar.
The southern men retaliated by filibust-
ering against the pension bills, so that
the net result was less than half q
dozen bills passed. 1t developed dur
ing the day that lively fight would be
precipitateG Monday when the sundry
civil bill is called up, on account of the
fact that the bill carries appropriations
for continuing the contracts on river
and harbor work aud public buildings
for only eight months of the next fiscal
year.
The appropriations committee suffer,
ed another reverse just before the
House took recess. 1t was Mr.. Can
mons intention to force the House to
sit to-day and proceed with the sundry
civil bill, but the members were over
whelmingly in favor of taking holt
day, and by big majority voted TO adj
iourn until Monday.

IF GREAT BRITAIN and Spain and all

country has "put on airs" and attempt
ed to bully, should show their resent
me1s and pursue the course Turkey mas

bassadors and ministers, the foreign DIP
lomatic corps at Washington would be
considerably reduced 10 numbers, and
a long step be taken toward abollshing

THE GOLD DRAIN.-It is probable
that the drain on the Treasury gold re-
serve will be resumed at an early date.
There have been several advances in
sterling exchange rates during the past
week, and yesterday another advance
of one half of one per cent. was made,
bringing it up to the gold shipping
point.
The cause ofthis is that sterling silver
bills are very scarce and large amount
of European gold that was borrowed
for sixty days in order to pay for the
new government bonds has got to be
repaid. 1t would not have to be
shipped if sterling exchange could be
obtained below the gold shipping point.
If money could be invested here at
profitable rates it is probable that
foreigners would have no desire to
withdraw the gold, but on account of
the dulness of business and the slight
demand for call money there is at pre-
ent no inducement for European capt.
talists to employ their money on this
side.-N. z. Herald.
