Resolution for Paying
the Prior Liens on
Union Pacific.
Morgan Gives Reasons Why
the Sale Should Be
Prevented.
Protests Against Letting the Prop
erty Go for the PaItry Sum
of $26, 100000.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 26.-The
acting chaplain of the Senate in the open
Ing prayer this morning said: There are
signs of returning prosperity and the long
ana widespread period of depression is
passing"
Harrison of Kansas reported from the
Pacific Railroad Committee the resolution
agreed upon as to the Government paying
off prior liens on the Union Pacific Rail.
roads. 1t declares it the sense of the Sen
ate that the President should direct the
Secretary of the Treasury to carry out the
provisions of the law by redeeming or
otherwise clearing off paramount liens
and mortgages prior to the Governme mt
lien amp paying them out of the treasury.
1t also asks for a suspension of the pro-
ceedings to carry into effect the agree
ment to sell the interest of the United
States in the property until after further
action by Congress. Harris read the re-
port which was signed by himself, Nor
gan and Rawlins.
Morgan said that, although the resolu-
ton was the unanimous report of the
committee, three members had chosen to
state their views specifically in the report
just read. He did not know there was
any difference of opinion in the commit
tee on the proposition, and did not well
see how this could be. The agreement
made by the executive of the last admin
istration was in process of execution and
would very soon be consummate If the
court should feel itself warranted in CIV
ing any value 20 that agreement, which
was plain, palpabie breach and viola
ton of the statute. The Senate under
stands the weight of executive power and
influence in courts, in Congress and
among the people.
1t was necessary now that the Senate
should express its views on the subject at
the earliest possible day, so the court
might understand whether the Senate ex-
pected to retain all the rights Of the Gov
eminent and people against the agree
ment to sell property, which to-day was
perfectly solvent and perfectly able to pay
every dollar it owed, for the paltry sum of
$26. .0Oo, 600.
Morgan gave notice that he would move
on Monday to proceed with the consid.
Grafton of the resolution, as there was no
possible way of reaching the matter except
by resolution repudiating the action of
the executive. He assumed that neither
courts nor other departments of the Gov
ernment would undertake to venture in
the face of the report just made 70 sacri-
fee the great Union Pacific property for
$26 000, 900 under a void con tract.

He suggests that the Government accept

Fox considers Boies' backsIiding so seri-
Gus that he follows the article in his book

can only mean that the paper representa-
tive shall be redeemed in bullion at its
market value in gold, which is the same
thing as redeeming it in gold. Is this not

CLEVER IN ALL STUDIES.
Helen Keller, the Famous Blind Mute,
Preparing 10 Pass Difficult
Examinations.

BOSTON, Mass, June 26-Next Tues
day, when the Radcliffe entrance ex-
aminations begin, Helen Keller, the
famous blind mute, will offer herself for
nine hours of work. All this past year
Miss Keller has been an earnest student
at Arthur Gilman's Cambridge school,
where she entered last fall, accompanied
by her friend and constant companion,
Miss Sullivan, with the distinct intention
of preparing for Radcliffe. Mr. Gilman
saw his way clear to everything except the
entrance examination in experimental
physics. He spoke to Graham Bell OF
his doubts upon this subject, but Mr..
Bell assured him that he would find
way, and now indeed he thinks that by
substituting the alternatives, textbook
physics and elementary astronomy of the
experiments. Miss Keller's Radcliffe
preparation may be compassed.
Marvellous are the powers of this young
girl, who will celebrate her seventeenth
birthday on Sunday. With German,
French, Latin and history she is already
familiar, and her English compositions
are clearly and forcibly written, with an
admixture of sense and sensibility rarely
found In one so young. Her appreciation
of everything that is brought to her atten-
ton is wonderfully keen, and she has the
most indomitable enthusiasm for study.
In the fall she will begin the study OF
Greek, the textbooks for which are now
being prepared for her use.
The examinations of next week will be
read to her by Mr.. Gilman, and she will
write the answers upon the typewriter, in
| the use of which she is an expert These
will be the preliminary examinations; for
the finals she will probably wait a number
of years, since all her education is to be
conducted in a leisurely fashion and with
as little fatigue and fuss as possible. Her
study does not In the least impair her
health, and Miss Keller to-day is a fine
specimen OF a we'll developed young
| woman.

 "When Parker was surrounded and l the Indian fired the gun to awaken him Parker jumped up, gun in hand and halfowed: That's all right, boys that's good I ordered him to lay his gun down and come up to where was, and he said: 'Is that you Fletch?' Ireplied: You lay thatgun down and come up here He invited me 10 come down to where he was. Itold him to hurry up or he'd be killed.

The h. dians brought the horses around; we saddled up and came back to Willow Springs; there about p. m. We had, dinner and rested our horses until 5 o'clock. .;
 "I left the Indians here, procuring two others to help bring Parker to Flagstaff. We started out, and along about o'clock in the evening, when five miles from the Little Colorado river, we met the Indian mail carrier on his way to Tuba. He told us that the sheriff was on his way out and about seven miles on the opposite side of the. river. I told Parker that we would meet the sheriff on the other side.
 "We reached the river and crossed about 10 o'clock, camping for the night. I had the Indians unstable the horses while l watched Parker. He assisted in making fire and once I stepped into the brush with him, about thirty feet from the fire to get some wood.
 "Along about half past ten some one on horse rode up to within 20 or 30 feet of the fire. first thought it was one of our Indians. I soon saw that it was white man and that he was getting his Winchester out of the Escabbard. I called out, This man is already under arrest.' 'Ohl he is re- piled the horseman. Yes Unanswered.
