WASHINGTON, Oct 27.-When Attor-
ney-General McKenna was told the San
Francisco Examiner had made a bitter
attack upon him for not including the
Kansas Pacific in the sale of the Union
Pacific he begged to be excused from max
ing any reply, saying merely that he ex-
pected no fairer treatment from the Ex-
aminer than he had received from the
New York Journal. The Attorney Gen.
eral has maintained his dignity through.
out and does not care to notice the barking
OF yellow dogs. The other day, in CONVEX
sation with The CALL correspondent, Mr.
McKenna only laughed when he read in
one of these yellow papers that he owed
his appointment to G. P. Huntington ana
the railroad. Nobody will believe It,"
said he.
Mr.. McKenna tonight con6rmei the
report that the sale of the Union Pacific
(proper) Will taka place on Novem Der l
and and the Kansas Pacific on Noyem-
Der Is. He said;
Regarding the newspaper stories that
the sale of the Kansas Pacific would lose
the Government more money than under
the $4,000, 600 guarantee of the reorgan-
izatIon com mittee covering that road, l
have no more doubt that the Government
will realize the full amount OF its claim on
the Kansas Pacific than 1 have that am
sitting here. The talk about the future
owners of the Union Pacific being able to
cripple the Kansas Pacific by paralleling
is all bosh. The Kansas Pacific is one OF
the best roads in the country"
Secretary of the Interior Bliss was
treasurer OF the National Republican Com
mjttee in the late campaign. He said to-
nieht:
81 am in position to say most en-
phatically and unreservedly that not q
single promise was made during the cam
paign, either for favor, Office or privi-
leges. No money was contri buted during
the cam paign on a promise of favors after
the election, nor were any offices promised
or bargains made. The men who con-
tributed to the Presidential campaign
with money or services did so knowing
that the honor and welfare of the coun-
tay were at stake. The men who gave
money to the campaign fund did so know
ing that their own rights ana privileges
were as much at stake as those of their
country. As treasurer of the national
committee know whereof l speak, and
DEFY any one TO say otherwise.
''And l will further say" continued
Secretary Bliss, THAT the charge that is
now being made by the yellow journal in
New York that the funds of the National
Republican Com mittee are being used In
the New York campaign is a lie; yes, a -
lie."
President Mckinley, Attorney General
McKenna, Secretary Gage and every
member OF the administration is to-day
congratulating himself on the outcome o.
the Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific ne
gotiations. They openly state that the
