HUNTINGTON's PLAN.
He Will Bring the Solid Southern Pacific
70 Aid the Other Pacifcs,


WAsHINGTON, March l2.-The
house committee on Pacific rail-
ways today listened to statement
of c. p. Huntington similar to that
made before the senate in advocacy
of plan of settlement of the Paci-
fic railway Indebtedness.
In concluding his address Mr..
Huntington remarked that no
man was so anxious as he to see
the roads pay 100 cents on the dol
lar; that it was the last great
work of his life and he hoped to
live to see all his affairs on a solid
basis.
Chairman Powers asked whether
under the company's plan the
Southern Pacific would be able to
guarantee the payments.
"The Southern Pacific is solid
old company" Mr.. Huntington re-
piled, land l would not like to do
anything to make it pay so much
money. would be willing that it
should guarantee the payments be-
cause l am so sure it would be
called on to pay. | am only one Of
several, but | have been running
this thing thirty years and what l
say generally goes. l am willing
to promise that the Southern Paci-
fic will guarantee the payments.
When Mr.. Powers inquired il the
charter of the Southern Pacific,
granted by the Kentucky legisla-
ture, was broad enough to permit
this, Mr.. Huntington answered:
"Oh, thanks, this is broad enough
to do most any thing" and the
committee men laughed.
"That is a broad charter and a
clean charter" he added, "ard has
about done all we wanted it to do"
Then Mr.. Harrison, (democrat)
of Alabama, inquired whether the
income from the road during the
past ten years would not warrant
a higher rate of interest than two
per cent.
"No, there has got to be little
margin" was the reply.
Another question was whether
the company could have met the
requirements OF the Reilly bill Of
the last congress-, and Huntington
replied:
"Oh, no. You might as well tell
a drowning man there is a rail on
shore and he can save himself II he
will 60 and get it. That bill was
a financial impossibility."

Capitol Building Under Police Guard and
Serious Clash Expected.


LOUISVILLE, KY, March pa

stabulary rule this morning.
Mayor Julian ordered about TWEEN
ty extra policemen to remain on
duty in the rotunda Of the capitol.
They are under command of Chief
Tobin, with instructions to keep

course was decided on by the
mayor after consultation with the
governor, who said to the mayor
that if Frankfort was unable
to afford public protection to
the members Of the legislature
he intended to do so If 1t took
every state guard in Kentucky.
At 1920 a. m. everything Is
quiet and there are no indications
OF a clash. Shortly after the house

1t is semi-officially stated that
there is no foundation whatever

patch cabled to the United States
by news agency claiming to
furnish the substance of the cars
answer to an autograph letter from
Emperor William. It is not true
that the car told Prince Won

Russia, that he entirely concurred
in the views of Emperor William,
and it is every way incorrect
that the car added that
the German emperor could
firmly rely on his support
and the support of states friendly
to Russia, namely: France and
the United States. It is also I'M
true that the Russian minister for
foreign affairs, Prince Lubsnoff

friends, death claimed his victim.

An Innocent Statement Causing
Trouble.

a few weeks ago a little item ap-
peared in these columns written by
our correspondent at GAINESVILLE to
the effect that young man took his
newly welded wife to her home in
Henry, Preston county, and that
the old gentleman met them at the
door with the poker and refused to
allow them to enter.
Upon its face this looked like an
innocent statement and the article
appeared as it was written, much to
the regret of the editor.
The week following the young man
answered this seeming slur at him
self and his wife which also appeared
in these columns. Last week the
regular correspondent at GAINESVILLE
lseSt an a:...s.wror b witt was so filed
with personal abuse that we did not
allow it to appear in print, and now
we have been besieged by persons
representing both sides of the con-
troversy asking that nothing more
be said about the matter, which re-
quests we are willing to accede to,
but one Of the principals in the
matter is not satisfied with the man
ner in which it stands and desires
us to make statement concerning
the question involved. From the
best information we can secure the
original item was intended more as
joke than anything else, but it was
taken seriously and the answer
above referred to was published.
In this answer some broad assertions
were made concerning the original
writer but which we think were not
intended as they were written.
We have been informed by good
authority that both gentlemen stand
well IN the community in which
they reside, but that there are two
factions in that community as IN all
small towns, which take sides with
one or the other. No one regrets
more than the editor that the con-
troyersy was opened and we assure
our friends that it will end here as
far as THE REPUBLICAN is con-
cerned.
The moral of all this is not to
send anything to a newspaper that
IS likely to cause trouble between
neighbors and friends.
