THE UNION PACIFIC.
A Proposition Said to Have Been Accepted
by the AttOrney-General.

A Proposition Said to Have Been Accepted
by the Attorney General.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.--L. L. Fitzger-
aid, chairman of the reorganization
committee of the Union Pacific rail
road, backed by j. Pierpont Morgan
and the Vanderbilts, has made propo-
sition to the government which has
been accepted by Attorney-General
Harmon. Under its terms foreclosure
proceedings must be begun at once.
If the government will foreclose
on the Union Pacific the reorganiza:
ton committee guarantees minimum
bid on the whole property guaranteed
to net the government $45, 900, 900, plus
the sinking fund. The net debt of the
Union Pacific to the government is
$751;, 900, 900. With the sinking fund in.
Guided it aggregates $69,OOO,OOO. I'm.
der this proposition the government
would lose $94, 100000, getting only
about 80 per cent. of the debt. AS
agreed to by the reorganization com,
mittee and the encouragement, a de-
post of ten per cent. of the bid, or $4,.
100000, is required as q guarantee of
good faith. As soon as this sum is de.
posted the encouragement will pro-
coed, Papers are now ready and fore,
closure proceedings may begin as soon
as the necessary instructions can be
sent to the district attorneys in the
various localities where suits will have
to be inaugurated, The reorganiza-
ton committee, controlled by Pierpont
Morgan, has $0O,OOO,Ooo Of collateral
security, Its minimum value of $45,.
100000 is subject to any higher bidder,
of course. But it has cinch, There
is no one else to bid.

Contest ApaInst Cnhhlsnn.

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan, 19,--Contest pro-
ceedings against j, X, Cubbison, OF
Wyandotte county, were filed yester-
day, The proceeding is a novel one,
inasmuch as it was begun by w, A,
Shook, an attorney who in no way has
authority from Mr., Hewlett, who was
Cubbison's opponent, and in whose
name the contest is brought. Mr.. Hew-
lett refuses to contest, but Mr.. Shook
says any elector can take up the fight,
hence his action.

sherman May Reconsider,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O,-Murat Hal
stead suggests that, in view of the po-
litical complications in Ohio, Senator
Sherman may reconsider his determi-
nation to enter the cabinet and remain
in the senate. This would break the
cabinet slate as now made up and Sc
riously embarrass Maj. Mckinley, but
it would enable the president-elect to
make room for Mark Hanna at the
cabinet board, and, at the same time,
act as a check on Foraker and Bushnell.

TIE difficult problem of surplus will soon
solve itself by melting away in commits

The board of auditors charge back on
commissioner $3.50 one days pay, because
they claim a man cannot receive two days

charge back ON the treasurer $22.27 if he is

inaugurated that will restore the
prosperity of the country than in
who shall get the comparatively few
offices at President McKinley's dis
posal. OF course most Republicans
wish to see all the places under the
Government, not covered by Civil
Service Rules, filled by good Repub-
licans, men who are in sympathy
with the party principles and policy
and they all will be in the course of
a few months, but for the present
only such changes as are considered
necessary, will be made It is al
together probable that when more
Important matters have been dis
posed of, some of the extensions of
the civil service rules, which are
known to have been made solely
for the purpose of keeping Demo-
Gratis in Office, will be set aside.
Steps are now being quietly taken
that will later on give the county a
few surprises in connection with
some of Mr.. Cleveland's extensions
of the civil service rules. There is
no more sincere advocate of the true
spirit of civil service reform than
President Mckinley, but where it is
shown that the civil service rules
have merely been made a cloak to
cover the rankest partisanship, he
will not hesitate to strip the cloak
off the partisans.
