Washington, March 2f,-The house
committee on Pacific railways today
gave q hearing to General Barham OF
California in reply TO Mr., Stubbs, gen
eral traffic manager Of the Central Pa
rifc General Barham read newsI1a-
per extracts bearing on the subject.
which he said showed that the people
Of California were not unanimous up
On the question Of refundins. He quot
ed the opinion of the attorney general
to the effect that the statute limlta-
tions ran against the government as
against other creditors. This, he SAID,
was not the issue, The United state
was not barred ana he cited the su-
preme court decisions on the question.
The government. he claimed, could Ell
force the original liability on stock
holders without proceeding through
the company. In conclusion ne en-
pressed the belief that the question
should be settled by the courts and not
by congress.

4 TEMPER ANCE UNION SESSION
Sam Francisco Turned Down as the
Convention City.

Chicago. March 24-A1 meeting OF
tha general officers of the National No-
mans Christian Temperance Union To-
dav it was decided not TO hold the next
national convention at san Francisco,
although that city had been previously
chosen. 1t is believed the holding Of the
next convention in or near the state Of
Kansas would better conserve the tenn
peranca interests, as q crisis is impend-
ing in that state. The refusal of the
railroads to make such concessions 2s
were hoped for is another reason. 1T is
probable that the next national convef-
ton will be held at st. Louis in October
or November 1896.
