THE CONVENTION.
Resolutions Adopted by the
 Republicans Yesterday.

TohBsToNE, Aris., Oct. Sth, 1896. MR. CHAIRMAN We, yonr commit tee, respectfully submit the following resolutions for the consider ation o. the convention:
 Resolved, That we most heartily endorse tho principles of the Rspubli-
 can party as enunciated by those
 great leaders-Lincoln, Seward end Chase-and that we pledge our.elves
 to maintain and support the doctrines
 of the parry as set forth by them.
 And we especially call the attention of
 the people of the land to the advice
 given to the nation in his farewell ad-
 dress by that patriot, soldier and
 statesmsn, George Washington, as 1t is of particular significance at this
 time, and these are the words: "Be-
 ware of foreign influence, as the most
 baneful foe of . Republican govern
 ment." We therefore condemn, and reject ss un-American and unworthy of acceptance, any suggestion of sub hitting anything appertaining to American sfiairs to e foreign confer enee, believing that we are fully able to defend our country and protect ourselves.
 We approve of a tariff that will give American labor just return, and furnish . revenue that will maintain our government, and also provide . sinking fund for the redemption of our national indebtedness.
 We approve of law of reciprocity that will add to our commerce and furnish . market for our surplus pro- ducts.
 We ineist that Arizona be given the rights of statehood, and we demand this as right and not as favor.
 We demand restriction of immi- grafton under proper laws, and that mere care should be observed in ad- nItting people to our shores, and that none should be given the rights of until they are fitted to ex- ,rciss the same in an intelligent man. aer.
 We are opposed to the sppropri- Ition of any of the public funds for | purposes. and we claim that 'very expenditure O. public moneys 'hould be for public purposes only.
 We pledge ourselves to nominate ,niy honest, intelligent and capable men for the various offices to be voted or, and when so nominated, if possi- ,le, to elect them.

LIBERIA WILL GET INTO TROUBLE.
While Preparing to Anchor at Cope Pal
mas a Gunboat Fires Upon a
British Sfenner

LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND, Dec. 1.-THE
steamer Erasmus. which arrived here to-
day from the west coast of Africa. brings
the further report of an outrage by the
Liberians. When the steamer was pre-
pairing to anchor at Cape Palmas the Lii
berian gunboat FREQ at her, the shot pass
ing between her masts.
After she had anchored the gunboat ran
alongside. and her commander boarded
the Erasmus and insisted that the passen-
gers on the steamer, who were Kroo labor
ers. should be landed at Cape Palmas in
stead of Rocktown, whittier they were
bound.
Captain Haynes of the Erasmus refused
to land the men, and the Liberians
eventually contented themselves by levy
ing customs duties on the Kroos. Captain
Haynes made formal protest TO the
Liberian Government at Monrovia and
has informed the British Government of
all the facts in the case. 1t was only
short time ago that Liberia was forced to
pay $1,000 for outrages on British subjects.

the gradual extinction of the debt. This
has proved delusive, the companies hav-
ing defaulted interest and suit having
been entered for same.
The Supreme Court has decided that the
amount paid by the Government was not
due until the bonds matured. There is
now held in the treasury, the report says,
available for the purpose OF paying off the
mortgage debts of the Central Pacific
Company $6,493,127, and of the Union
Pacific Company, $l5,325. 985.
ut is proposed By the BILL" the eport
says, ito apply the amounts In the re-
spective sinking funds to the extinguish-
ment pro tanto of the Governments debt,
and to this suggestion there can be no OBJ
iection."
The report makes the indebtedness of
the Union Pacific to the Government,
after deducting the amount which would
be realized from the securities in the sink
ing fund, $53, 716, ALB. and OF the Central
Pacific $57,6S1, 514 The report treats at
length of the sufficiency of the settlemen t
proposed by the Pacific railroads, and
finds that that property is appraised at
much more than it's cash value, which is
stated by the railroads at s35, 600, 900 of un-
subsidized property.
The report states that when the first
mortgage lien of $33, $50, 600 is considered,
if the roads are sold at auction they
will not bring sufficient to satisfy that
lien and the Governments debt.
The settlement proposed of extending
the Government loan for forty years at 2
per cent while the road is paying per
cent on its first mortgage loan would be
unjust to the Government.
If the Government extends the second
mortgage now 1t would in effect guaran-
tee the payne of the first mortgage
bonds. What has been said of the Union
Pacific applies equally to the Central Pa
cific, which owes the Government $50, Sol, :
600, that is, if the Government extends
the second mortgage.
The report recognizes that without any
fault Of ours conditions prevail which rem
der it necessary for the Government to
either lose an enormous sum of money or
10 adopt refunding scheme, but before
we can agree to any refunding scheme IL
ought to be clearly demonstrated that tho
Government would be placed in much bet
ter position than itnow is. Believing the
Governments position would not be ma
terially improved If the terms of the pro-
pr sed bill were carried out we cannot as
sent to its provisions"

HUN T|NGTON HAS
A ROCKY ROAD
Cannot Rush Through the
Refunding Scheme Just
at Present.
Bell of Texas Submits Minority
Report of the Pacific Roads
Committee.
Increased Interest and First Mortgage
or Force osure Are the Terms
Demanded.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 11.-Unless
the Pacific refunding bill now before the
House is amended to meet the objection
urged against it by the minority of the
Pacific Railroad Committee, the bill will
be opposed bitterly. The minority, in a
report submitted by Bell of Texas to-day,
recommends that the bill be amended so
as 10 provide that the debts due by the
roads be extended at 3 per cent instead of
per cent per annum. and that the extern
sion be granted only on condition that the
com panies arrange to secure the Govern
ment's debt by q first mortgage on the
property upon which it is proposed in the
bill it shall have second mortgage.
1t Is also recommended that provision
be inserted requiring the law officers of
the Government to institute proceedings
looking to q foreclosure of its lien and the
sale Of the property in the event that the
terms of settlement are not accepted by
the respective companies.
Among the objections stated to the bill
in its present form are applications pro-
vided for of the funds in the sinking fund ;
the requirement that the 50. 400, S18 which
stands credited to the Central Pacific Com
pany for services on nom aided lines
should be applied to the payment of the
Central Pacific's debts to the Government,
to the default provision of the bill ami
the prohibition against the payment of
dividends upon the stock unless actually
earned and unless the companies shall
have paid ali interest due on their bonded
debt and all matured instailments of the
interests.
In reaching these conclusions the mi
norlty report rccites the history of the
legislation authorizing the building of the
Pacific roads. The Union Pacific road
and the Kansas Pacific are treated as one,
and, the report states, have been consoli-
dated and to them have been issued $685.
$50. 512 of the subsidy bonds.
1t was when the bonds loaned these
companies were issued that one half
of the compensation due by the Govern
ment for services rendered it by the COM
panies, and that 5 per cent of the net earn
ings, which was to be applied to the pay
mert of the bonds and interest, would pay
