and declared that otherwise they would
have opposed the nomination because OF
it's invidiousness.
The debate was a most animated one
from start to finish. 1t developed that
General Coppinger had come 10 America
at the beginning of the war at the instance
of Archbishop Hughes. and IT was asserted
that he nomination had been made largely
at the instance of Mrs. Blaine. whose
daughter was General Coppinger's wife.
There were also allusCns to certain per-
sonal affairs of the gentleman.
The vote favorable to confirmation in
cluded all the members of the committee
on military affairs, who were supported by
the more conservative senators, who gen.
orally follow committee Recommendations.
1t was also noticed that all the ex-confed-
crate soldiers in the senate voted for con-
firmation, as did all but one or two Of the
union soldiers.
After the Coppinger case was disposed of
there was an effort made to take up the
nominations of j. G. keenan, of Indiana to
be Indian agent at Neah bay, WASH, and
George H. Newman of Tennessee to be
agent at Colville agency, Wash., who were
opposed by the northwestern senators on
the ground that their nominations are q
violation of the home rule principle. The
call of the senate at this juncture devel-
oped the absence of q quorum, and the
senate then proceeded with the conflrma-
ton of nominations. to which there was no
objection.

HUNTINGTON MUCH DESIRES
To Pay In Full the Railroads Govern.
ment Debt
Which Is Very Pleasant News to the Con-
gressiona! committee-varIous Plans
Of Reorganization Discussed

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The senate COM
mittee on Pacific railroads today gave a
hearing to representatives of the various
interests trying to secure readjustment of
the indebtedness of the Pacific railroads to
the United States. c. P. Huntington of
the Central Pacific was among those who
APPEARED. He said the Central Pacific was
in better condition than generally cup
posed. that its roadbed and bridges we're
in good order, that it had no floating debt.
and that 1t had paid sOme of its mortgages.
1--WE want" he said, ITO pay 100 cents
on the dollar to this government, and mean
10 do so. We also want to pay as much as
we can from time to time"
Senator Frye of the committee remarked
this was gratifying information to the COM
mittee. Huntington then referred briefly
to the attacks being made upon the COM
pany by ''our friends, the enemy"
Winslow S. Pierce appeared for reorRan-
ization committee of the Union Pacific,
Charles Fl. Tweed for the Central Pacific,
David Little for the Sioux City and Pacific.
Pierce explained tine purpose of the
Union Pacific reorganization committee.
reviewing it's plan in detail. He showed
the proposed first mortgage bonds to be
issued under reorganization were to he
Issued in exchange for bonds secured by
the present first liens and by liens upon
The properties not covered at present as
far as provision was made in the
new security for the settlement OF
the government debt itself. Speaking
for the Central Pacific Tweed said the road
was able to carry current burdens. and
only asked for considerate arrangement
for meeting the government obligations.
Little explained that the Sioux City COM
pany only asked to be allowed to settle
with the government for a cash con-
sideration.
This is only short line, and Senator
Frye remarked that the committee would
be willing TO take almost anything the COM
pany would give.
