adoption of resolution calling on
the Secretary of the Interior for
full information as to the status of
the Union Pacific, Kansas Pacific,
Sioux City and Pacific roads. Brice
suggested that the Senate Committee
on Pacific Railroads be directed to
make an investigation, with power
to send for persons and papers. AL.
len accepted the suggestion, saying
that he did not doubt that the com.
mittee would prosecute the inquiry
in good faith. Wolcott, member OF
the Committee gave assurances
that there would be the fullest in
quiry.
This brought out some criticisms
from Allen. He suggested that the
Pacific Roads Committee could
proftably turn from stock brokers

patrons Of the road. Wolcott pointed
out that every one who came before
the Committee was heard, including
the delegations from Western cities.
