esedsd with Nov. - was Originally
Contssnrlated.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 27.-Although the
government officials decline either to
affirm or deny the report Of its accept
ance Of the new proposition of the re.
organization committee Of the Union
Pacific railway there is no doubt
Of its accuracy. This proposition IL un.
derstood to be an increase of the orig.
inal guarantee bid Of $50, ,0o0, 600 to q
sum sufficient to cover the full amount
Of the governments claim against the
Union Pacific railroad proper, which
on Oct. aggregated ,e58, ,067, 1893. This
includes the principal Of the debt
which amounts to $27. ,5i2. and the
balance Of the interest paid by the
United States amounting to $50. $50, ,8s6.
This represents the full amount Of the
Union Pacific's obligations to the gov
ernment. The sale Of this road will be
proceeded with az originally intended
about Nov. 1.
As to the Kansas Pacific road, the
company withdraws it's guarantee and
consents to a postponement Of the sale
to any date to suit the
Convenience Of tho Government. 2
This action, it is understood, leaves the
government in the same position with
respect to the Kansas Pacific as before
the negotiations were instituted, and in
this situation the government may, il

definitely. The debt Of the Kansas Pa.
cific to the government aggregates
nearly $4,000, 900, of which amount
@,S0S. 600 is principal.
Whether the government will ask the
court to order sale of the Kansas Pa.
cific on Dec. Is cannot be stated, but,
should it 80 decide, 1t is understood
that no objection will be raised by the
reorganization committee. The net re-
suit Of the new arrangement, so far as
concerns the Union Pacific, is regarded
by the officials as highly advantageous
to the government, as 1t secures all that
it has ever claimed to be due it, and
renders it practically certain that q
very large share Of the debt Of the Kan
sas Pacific will be realized, whenever it
may decide to consent to its sale.

Pensioners Yet Unbor


Reasoning from what has proved true
regarding pensioners, some writer has
suggested that during several years
to come girl babies will be born to the
destiny Of becoming the widows Of the
veterans Of 1865 and Of drawing pen
sions. II there are ten Revolutionary
widows on the roll now. there may be
1000 civil war widows in 1885. This is
possible without taking into account
the fact that the world is learning how
to live longer. The ranks Of the old SOL
diers are thinning. The ranks Of the
old soldiers widows are not. Nearly
one-fourth Of the 988, ,828 names now
on the roll are widows To be exact,
the widows at present receiving PEN
sions number 228, ,522. The proportion is
increasing steadily. Soon one-third Of
the pensions will go to widows. A few
years later the widows will outnumber
the veterans. The time will come when
the widows will exceed the old soldiers
in such numerical relation as they do
for tho war Of 1919. There are seven sur
vivors Of 1919 on the roll, and there
are 2, $40 pensioned widows Of that war.
The Indian wars were fought from 1882
to 1042, from 65 to 65 years ago. The
pensioned veterans Of those Indian wars
number 2,878 and the widows 4,2sS.
The Mexican war widows do not quite
equal the veterans. They number SOFA,
while the male pensioners Of that war,
fought so years ago. are 10, ,922.
Tho Annual Death List.
OF Union soldiers who participated
in the civil war the number now pen
stoned is 741,141. Unless additional
laws are passed this number of civil
war veterans will not grow much. The
deaths are about $50 year. The
new applicants admitted to the roll,
with the greatest diligence the pension
bureau can bestow, will not long MAIN
tain the present strength Of pensioned
veterans. But the widows will grow in
numbers for many years to come.
