WESTERN UNION ASKS TN.
Seeks to Havs U!ion Pac q, Telegraph
Div.rc, Po5.p
SAYS SEC iEG NloN IS IMP )ssl3Lz NOW
Points out 10 the Court the TnuElc
In Which the Interests Have
Gotten Owing to the
Rcceivcrship.

An application has been made in the
federal court that further extension OF time
be granted by the court in which the segre-
cation OF the Western Union Telegraph COM
panys lines and those of the Union Pacific
Telegraph company shall take place. The
request is made on the grounds that the
separation cannot be made at the present
time with justice to all parties, from the
fact that the railway system is too much cut
up and its affairs and condition are tco COM
plioated.
The application Is made by the Western
Union Telegraph company and was filed in
the case in which the United States recently
brought against both telegraph companies to
bring about the separation of their various
properties 1t is the second extension of
time that is asked for. The first was made
on August II and was granted on September
g. The time limit at which the separation
was to take place was fixed then at Decem-
ber 81.
The main grounds for the application is
that the system has been cut up since the re-
ceivership, mainly into the Union Pacific, the
Denver Pacific and the Kansas Pacific. 1t is
pointed out that the accounting which must
be had to decide the rights of the different
parties involves all the properties on the
three roads. 1t Is asserted that Ii Is mani
, time.
| In the first place 1t is set out that the main
| line OF the Union Pacific, recently sold at
| the foreclosure sale, was purchased simply
| by committee and that the owners who sue
| ceeded to the rights Of the Union Pacific
! telegraph properties along this line and the
| corporation which will manage it are not
| even known. The transfer has not yet fully
taken place and therefore an accounting can
not be had. Again, by cutting off the Kan
sas Pacific, to be sold at separate sale,
which has been postponed to February 10
/ next, separation of interests has occurred.
1t is alleged that If at the sale OF this road
and of the Denver Pacific interests different
than those which bought the main line
should purchase, the accounting to be had
would involve the separate amounts eX-
pended in the properties on these divisions
respectively and a separation of the proper
! ties would be required such would not be
required should the purchasing interests be
| the same.
Therefore, in view of the present uncer-
tainty of the ownership of the Kansas Pa
cific and the Denver Pacific, 1t is maintained
that it is impractcable to present facts and
to have an accounting with the receivers so
| as to protect the interests of all parties. AS
a consequence the court is asked to extend
| the time in which testimony on the matter
may be taken by Special Master Cornish and
In which the various parties interested may
make arrangements for the segregation. No
! particular date Is asked for.

While the year 1897 has shown larger rail-
way earnings and better business conditions
than its immediate predecessors, the marked
improvement ia the finsucial outlook did not
begin early enough in the year for the com
pletion OF many new railway undertakings,
and 80 II now appears that, although much
construction work is under way. the mileage
of track actually laid Is but little greater
than that for the precedlng year.
Tho lowest point in twenty years, In re-
spect to railway mileage. was reached in
1895, when only 1903 miles OF track were
added, and 1897 hls done little better, the
total now reported to us beinG 1854 milee.
California stands first with 2l0 miles laid on
different roads, and 40 track was laid in New
Hampshire. Rhode Island, Connecticut, Mary
land, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Indian
Territory, krlzona. Wyoming and Nevada
and Ave other states barely escuped from this
category by getting credit for from half a
