1863 bills were put in. On Tuesday, OWN :

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. l3.-At noon
to day the two houses of the Legislature
met in Joint convention in the Assembly
chamber to declare the result OF yester-
days balloting for United States Senator.
Senator Thomas Flint, President pro tem.,
presided on the part of the Senate and
Speaker Coomos on tee Tart of the Assem-
bly,. The journal of each house was read
as the law directs. Then the official decIa-
ration of George c. Perkins election for
Senator in Congress for the term begin
ming March 4, 1897, was made in due form.
Senator Dickinson introduced resolu-
ton directing shat a record of Inc proceed
ings be transmitted to the Governor in &C
cordance with the act of Congress.
President Flint presented the following
message received by wire from Senator

ton bv Frank Brandon, secretary OF the
Senate:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 13. 1897.
Hon. II. 7. Jeter, Lieutenant Governor ana
President OF the Joint Legislative Assembly: Per-
nit me through you TO express to the joint
legislative assembly my most sincere appre-
citation OF the honor conferred upon me by my
reelection as one of California's Senators in
Congress. This evidence of your confidence is
intensified by he fact that your choice was
made only eight days after the organization of
the Legislature and on the first day that by
law you were permitted to vote on this ques-
ton. The honor conferred is made more dis
tinguished from the further fact that it has
been bestowed upon me while separated by
5000 miles and removed from all possibility
OF exerting personal influence upon your &C
ton. ......s.. .--y
All this increases within me the feeling of
responsibility which the high Office brings
and strengthens my ambition to work # possi-
bic with more zeal for the interests of the
people who have so often honored me with
their confidence.
I shall endeavor to act in the future as in
the past, as far as in my power lies, in accord
ance with the principles enumerated By the
Republican National platforms, and shall
ever bear in mind the truth that he who best
serves his State best serves his political party.
GEORGE C. PERKINS.
No applause was evoked by the off cial
declaration of Mr.. Perkins election, or by
his message acknowledging the honor
conferred. The joint convention ad-
1ourned.

Terms of More Advantage to
the Government Than the
Powers Bill.
OFFER CASH PAYMENTS AND
INCREASED INTEREST.
Coils p Huntington, However, Has
Net Yet Civ Up All Hope of
Relief From Congress.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 13.-It can
be definitely stated that the stockholders
OF the Union Pacific Railroad have finally
abandoned all further hope of obtaining
friendly legislation at the hands OF Con-
gress.
They are reported to have made over
lures 10 President Cleveland looking to a
settlement of the roads Indebtedness to
the Government. What the details of the
proposition of the stockholders are cannot
largely tentative in its nature. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that it involves cash
payments either of a lump sum in settle
ment OF the indebtedness or payment in
installments, the first payment to be a
major fraction of the entire debt, the rest
to be paid within FIVE years. the unpaid
portions to bear interest at rate of be-
tween and 81 per cent.
The proposition is understood to be de-
cidediy more advantageous to the Gov
ernment than was the Powers funding
bill, which the House slaughtered on
Monday.
Mr.. Huntington, however, representing
the Central Pacific. will not cooperate
with the Union Pacific. He still believes
that something can be obtained from Con-
gress, and he will make no proposition
until every effort at legislative relief has
been abandoned.
This information comes from Senator
Brice OF Ohio, a stockholder of the Union
Pacific, and it was impaired to brother
Senator to-day.
Huntington left Washington last night
and is now in New York City. 1t can be
stated upon excellent authority that he
will make the most strenuous efforts to
secure the passage of some kind of bill
at this session of Congress to prevent fore
closure on the Central Pacific.
The Central and Union Pacific people
were very much alarmed to-day on ac-
count of a conference held between Presi-
dent Cleveland aud Attorney General
Harmon. The latter was instructed to
file his foreclosure suits Immediately.
This report induced the Union Pacific
people to make their tentative offer OF
settlement. Mr.. Huntington will, how
SPARED of the hope of passing refunding
bill, and is said to favor the bill intro
duced by Senator Gear to-day, providing
for a commission to settle the indebted
ness of the roads.
