THE FUNDING BILL.
Arguments Before the House Com
mfttee on Pacific Roads.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Mr. Fran
els B. Thurber of New York appeared
before the house committee on Pacific
roads today as a representative of the
national board of trade and the New
York board of trade and transporta-
ton to advocate the passage of a
funding bill for the Pacific railroads.
He commended Senator Frye's bill for
a hundred years extension of the debt
at 8 per cent The settlement of the
Pacific railroad finances, he said, affect
ed the business interests of the entire
country. He had aroused the COM
mercial bodies Of the country to the
support of the anti-pooling clause of
ex-senator Reagans Interstate COM
merce bill, but the logic of events had
convinced Senator Reagan and himself
that the prohibition of pooling was I'M
necessary and that railroad rates We're
forced as low by competition and other
forces as they could be.
The rates on the Pacific railroads
were less than one-third of the stand
ard at the establishment of the lines,
and this fact should be considered in
paying obligations incurred on the
basis of those conditions.
Congress should do three things to
country-pass tariff bill to increase
the revenue, a Pacific railroad funding
bill and bankruptcy bill.
Mr.. G. H. Tweed, attorney for the
Central Pacific, also spoke.
In the hearing yesterday, Mr.. Pat
terson of Tennessee had asked Mr.
Pierce of the Union Pacific whether
that company would be able to comply
with proposition to pay the principal
of it's debt to the government within a
short time if the interest was RENTED
and Mr.. Pierce had answered in the af-
firnpative. Today Mr.. Johnson of Cali
fornia asked the same question of Mr.
Tweed, and he answered he did not see
how the Central Pacific railroad could
comply with such a proposition. Its
ability to do so would depend on the
condition of the money market and
whether the company could make q
| showing of earnings good enough tt
float the issue of bonds necessary tc
raise the funds, and he doubted
whether such "a showing could bt
made. Mr.. Tweed declared that the
ninety-year lease of the Central Pacific
held by the Southern Pacific would mo-
operate to prevent its acceptance of the
| terms of the Frye bill.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
A Supreme Court Decision in the Re-
ownership Case.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Justices
Field, Harlan, Brewer and Brown of
the supreme court today rendered
decision in the Northern Pacific re-
ownership case, holding that all courts
along the line of the road be auxiliary
to Judge Jenkins court ait Milwaukee.
This decision gives the Milwaukee court
the jurisdiction over the entire sys-
TEN in the matter of receiverships.
1t was shown at this hearing that
the creditors bill and the foreclosure
proceedings of 1893 had been f1led1in
the circuit court for the eastern district
of Wisconsin, over which Judge Jen-
kins presides. 1t was also shown that
this court then appointed receivers Tor
the entire system, who were for time
recognized Afterwards. however, the
circuit court for other districts APP
pointed receivers for the portions OF
the road embraced within their re-
spective Jurisdictions and such con-
fusion and antagonism arose that II
was feared the interests of the road
would be seriously jeopardized.
Exception was taken to the jurlsdic-
ton of the Milwaukee court ON the
ground that the Northern Pacific had
no road except a leased line within
the limits of the eastern district of
Wisconsin. This was substantially 0he
only objection made to its recognition,
and it was intimated at the time of the
hearing that a large majority of the
interests involved would be SATISFIED
with a designation of the Milwaukee
court as the responsible tribunal and
ONE by which the receiver or receivers
fo. the entire line should be designated
