IN THE SENATE
Putting in Time Debating the Rail
road Debts

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The senate,
after assembling, went into executive
session for over two hours, and on re-
opening the doors the conference report
on the general deficiency bill was
agreed to.
Harris resolution in regard to the
Union Pacific railway was taken up,
and Morgan democrat of Alabama)
continued his speech on the subject He
read a letter from correspondent say
ing that in the manipulations of stock
the large shareholders had been pro-
tected. while the smaller holders had
been frozen out. This was about to be
done again. He hoped the president
would defer action in order to enable
congress to look into the matter.
Harris of Kansas hoped a vote would
soon be had.
Thurston gave notice OF intention to
discuss the subject in the future.
Stewart of Nevada then took the floor.
He reviewed. the history of the construc-
ton Of the road, contending that it was
a patriotic effort and not scheme to rob
the government.
Harris, in refutation of this, called at
tention to President Cleveland's stric-
his message of January, 1888.
Stewart said he did not wish to ex-
onerate the company from payment of
just dues to the government, but OBJ
jected to their being regarded, as crimi-
mails. He desired to have the whole mat
ter closed. The resolution under con-
sideration would accomplish no pur-
pose
Thurston Of Nebraska spoke in oppo-
sition to the resolution. He contended
that the government had'already risked
enough money in the investment, and
that without further expenditure it
should proceed by the ordinary legal
methods through the courts of the coun-
try to enforce its legal rights, whatever
they might be, and to secure repayment
of all its dues on whatever property the
courts shall find are justly subject there
to. The proposition before the senate
he said, stripped of technicalities. was
simply to invest another $34, 100000 and
take the chance of getting it back or
the ultimate sale of the road.
AT o'clock an executive session was
held and then adjournment was had.
