Accrued Principal and Intcrest-Total
Amount The bid OF the eReorganiza-.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. THE interest,"
of the United States government in
the Union Pacific railroad terminated
at Has o'clock yesterday morning
when ut the foreclosure sale of the
mortgage held by the United States
the road was purchased by the COM
mittee of eastern capitalists formed
for its reorganization. n
The full amount accruing TO Tie
United States from the sale cannot be
given exactly but is estimated to be
S5S, OG5, 74S. 40 1t was impossible to
of sale for the reason that the monthly
statement made by the secretary of
the treasury TO the management of the
Union Pacific on the first of every
month was not available yesterday,
and it was found necessary to estimate
some items, although it is admitted by
both sides that the estimates are ap-
proXimately correct.
The amount due the government is
made up as follows:
Principal of debt, S27, 1856 ,5l2.
Interest paid by the government up
to September 80, 1897, $40, $50, 8S6.37.
Interest accrued to September 30
and still unpaid, $2Sd, li76s.
Interest accrued in October, $685..

92S6l.
Against this is the following credits:
Cash and bonds in sinking fund, SIS

Estimated credits for the quarter
ended September 30 and for the month
of October including government earn
ings and the interest on bonds in the

ization committee, S39, Ss3, 2SlS7.
The sinking fund bonds sold for $l3,

mittee, So, 53S, 552. IS.
The amount earned by the road dlr-
ing the quarter ended on September 80
and during the month of October is
| estimated, but is practically correct,
and as the government will simply re-
tain the cash, crediting the amount on
the bids of the committee, the amoun
to be turned over as a consequence o.
the sale is SIS, ,O65, 74S 40.
After the sale was concluded Gen
Gown, the representative of the gov

conference with Acting Secretary Of
The Interior Ryan and made a verbal
report of his investigations.
This was confirmatory of the pub

amount of fraudulent warrants on the
st. Louis subtreasury had been issued,
but that the government would lose
nothing by the transaction. The
losers are outside parties WHO pur-
chased the warrants on speculation.
One of these discounters, acting in
good faith, bought $50, 900 worth OF
these warrants, paying 02 cents on the
dollar. The remaining $4,000 is UNI
derstood to be confined to few par

The United States district attorney
