Arrangements Proposed for the URion
Pacific Purchase Money.

Arrangements Proposed Tor the Union
Pacific Purchase Money.
New York, Oct. 5.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
Former Governor Hoadley, counsel
for the Union Pacific Reorganization
syndicate, will discuss the final details
of the foreclosure sale of the road win
Attorney General McKenna today. 1t
is probable that an arrangement viii be
made by which the purchase money can
be paid by the syndicate without taking
much OF it out of actual circulation and
locking it up in the treasury. Under
the terms of sale, the final installment
must be paid on January l. On the
same date the government will be call
ed upon opay about 100000 900 Pacific
railroad bonds on which the roads have
forfeited.
1T probably will be settled that $780,
100000 or more Of the purchase money
shall be placed in the national bank
repositories Of the United States in
stead of being paid into the treasury,
and thus remain in circulation"

From the Daily Journal
The ordinance repeating ordinance No.
574, commonly known as the Malt Or
5inance, was defeated in the city coun-
ell last night when it came up for second
reading. The vote Of the councilmen
last night on the question Of repeal was
the same as at the meeting held on Sem
TENDER Il, when the. ordinance came up
Tor its first reading, except that Council
man L. J. French was absent Mr..
Frenca's absence enabled those opposed
to the repeal to defeat the ordinance.
Had he been present at the meeting lsst
right the vote would have been a tie and
he mayor would have cast the deciding
vote in favor az the repeal In the abb
scnce Of cue Of the councilmen it 1euuir-
Cd a majority vote Of all the councilmen-
elect to repeal the ordinance. The tenn
perance peorie have at NJ ;inle been able
70 muster more than i've woes in the
present city council, consequently the re-
Pealing ordinance was doomed to defeat
unless there was a full attendance Of the
council when il came up for final action.
Those councilmen opposed to the repeal
cid not choose to ALLOW the mayor 10 de-
eide the question, and Mr.. French set
tied the whole business by staying away
from the meeting last night.

Philadelphia, Oct. 5.-The bitter and
protracted battle which has been in pro-
gress for months between the American
Warenousemen's association of New
York, on the one hand, and nearly ell
the leading railroad companies in the
United States on the other, came up be-
fore the Interstate Commerce commits
sion in the United States circuit court
room in this city today. The charge
made by the association, which has been
aired in many of the principal cities
east and west, is to the effect that the
Philadelphia, Reading and Lehigh Val
ley roads, in addition to others named in
the petition, have directly violated the
interstate commerce law by furnishing
free storage to divers shippers and act
ing as warehousemen in various vases.
The complaint is filed against the Illi-
nois Central and fifty-one other roads.
The hearing attracted a large crowd
OF corporation officials. The Pennsyl-
vania company was represented by
George B. Massey, General Traffic Man

and General Agent Latta. The inter
ests of the Readig were looked after by
