rick and ]. Thompson appeared in sup
port of the petition. They complained
that Browning had so distributed the
work as road supervisor, working only
a few teams at a time, as to bring
himself into a position as foreman
much oftener than was necessary; that
he took teams and men from one end
of the district to the other, and was
otherwise wasteful of the county's poll
tax labor. Mr.. Browning appeared in
his own defense, saying that he had
notified men to come, but they persisted
in coming at their own convenience.
His report for the year showed that his
entire bill for labor as foreman was
less than S11. The matter was taken
under advisement.
County Attorney Peery was empow-
cred to employ assistant counsel in the
tax contested cases brought by the
banks.
Adjournment was taken for one
week.

The stock markets here are quiet to-
day but firm, notably home rails, on
the avoidance of railway strike. The
frmness of the markets were generally
due to anticipations of phenomenally
cheap money in the next year. Perhaps
operators are unduly confident of this.
Copper shares were very strong. Amer
leans were good chiefly on New York
support. There is no dispocition to sell,
however, as best quarters look for a

quite unforeseen should occur. New

I am forced by the length of this mes
sage to omit many important references
to affairs Of The government with which
congress win have 10 deal al thu present
session. They are fully discussed in the
departmental reports TO al Of which
invite your earnest attention.
The estimates OF the expenses of the
government by the several departments
should have your careful scrutiny. While
congress may ind il an easy task 10 re-
duce the expenses of the government il
should rot encourage their increase.
These expenses will. in my judgment
admit of a decrease in many branches of
the government without injury to the
public service II is q commanding duty
to keen the appropriations within the
receipts of the government and thus
prevent a deficit.

liens costs and charges. If no other or
better bid is made. this sum is all that
the government will receive on its claim
of nearly S13, 100000.
The government has no information as
to whether there viii be other bidders
or another brd than the maximum
amount herein stated. The question pre-
sented therefore is, whether the govern
ment shall under the authority given II
by the act of March %, 1894, purchase or
redeem the road in the event that BID
IS not made BY private parties covering
the entire government claim.
CONDITIONS.
To qualify the government to bid at
the sales will require deposit of SSOO,OOO
as follows: In the government cause
500 0l1 and in each of the nrSt mortgage
causes $3.50 600, and in the latter the de-
post must be IN cash.
Upon the acceptance Of the bid a sum
which. with the amount already depos-
tied. shall equal 10 per cent OF the BID,
the balance in inStalluents OF % per cent,
80, 20 and 50 days after the confirmation
OF the sale.
The lien on the Kansas Pacific prior to
that Of the government on the 3Oth Of
July, 1897, principal and interest
amounted to S7,4210SS1I. The govern
Ilent therefore, should it become the
highest bidder, will have to pay the
amount of the first mortgage lien.
GOVERNMENT A BIDDER.
/ believe that under the act OF 1891 II
has the authority to do this. and IN the
absence of any action by congress. l
shall direct the secretary of the treas
ury TO make the necessary deposit as re-
quired by the court $ decree 10 qualify
as a bidder and TO bid at the sale sum
which Will at least equal the principal Of
the debt due the government, but sug-
gest, in order to remove all controversy,
that an amendment OF the law be imme-
diately passed explicitly giving such
powers and appropriating in general
terms whatever sum is sufficient therefor
In so important a matter as the gov
eminent becoming the probable owner OF
railroad properly. which it perforce must
conduct and operate, / feel constrained
to lay before congress these facts for
its consideration and act before the con-
summation Of the sale. It is clear to
my mind that the government should
not permit the property 10 be sold at q
price which viii yield less than one
half the principal Of its debt and less
than 0ne-hfth of its debt. principal and
interest. The government rather than
ACCEPT less than its claim should become
a bidder and thereby the owner of the
property, and l submit this TO congress
for action.
