A Very Tame Anair-The Government Gets
It's Money Hack.


Omaha. Neb.. Nov. 1.-The interest
OF the United States government In the
Union Pacific railroad terminated nt
11:45 o'clock this morning, when, at
the foreclosure sale of the mortgage
held by the United States, the road wns
purchased by the committee OF east
ern capitalists formed for Its reorgan-
iZatiOn.
The full amount ACQUIRING to the
United States from the sale cannot be
given exactly. but 1t is estimated to bc
x5S,0G5. 1910. II wns impossible to
determine the full amount at the time
OF sale, for the reason tlint the month
ly statement made by the secretary OF
the treasury TO the management of the
Union Pacific ON the first OF every
month was not available to-day. and
1t was found necessary to estimate
some items, although II IL admitted by
both sides that the estimates are ai'-
prOXlmntely correct.
The amount due the government Is
nnde up MS follows:
Principal of debt. S27.22:,6.512.
Interest paid by the government up
to September 80, 1897. 3O.S3O.SS

and still unpaid. S2S,i.1+7.69.

Cash and bonds in sinking fund, $751;

quarter ending September 30. and for
the month Of October. Including gov

The amount earned by the road dur
Ing the quarter ended September 30
and during the month OF October Is es.
tiInntcd, but Is practically correct. and
MS the government will simply retain
the cash. crcditing the amount on the
bids OF the committee, the amount to
be turned over ns n consequence OF the
sales is $5S,O65, ,74S.4O.
After the sale was concluded Gen
ernl Cowin. the representative OF the
government. was assured by the CON-
mittee that If the amounts not accur-
atcly figured should differ from the
figures given above. whatever may be
lacking Will be paid by the commit
tee and will in no way be allowed to
Interfere will, the confirmation OF the
sale.
There was no opposition to the COM
mittee end no bids We're offered against
theirs.
The sale of the road was In itself one
OF the most tame and unintcres,ing per-
formnnces possible to imagine.

Appear Anxious to Avoid Further Trouble
In Colorado.
Denver, Nov. From the informa-
ton received in this city yesterday rel
ative to the Ute Indian troubles, 1t
would appear that no further trouble is
expected by those who are In the vicin-
tty of the recent disturbances. There Is
still little excitement at White Rocks,
but no trouble Is apprehended. The
latest news from the seat of the trou-
BILE states that the Indians are hasten
ing to their respective reservations,
anxious to avoid the troops and furth-
err trouble. The wounded Indians are
being cared for, and no fatalities are
expected.
The mail yesterday afternoon con-
tained the following assuring letter
from Commissioner Swan to the gov
ernor:
Rifle, Colo. Oct. 81, 1s97.-Governor
Adams, Denver. Colo: Dear Sir-I re-
turned here this afternoon. accompan-
led by Warden Mclean. On Thursday
| left Meeker and rode TO Yellow creek,
40 miles down the White, where met
Warden Mclean and Sheriff Wilbur of
Rio Blanco county. They had returned
after having visited many Indian camps
scattered in the hills and extending all
the way to Ranseley. The Indians had
heard or the snake river killing, and
had also been ordered by the Indian
police from the fort to return to the
reservation. They were losing no time
in complying. and were getting out as
fast as possible. There was no talk of
fight but all seemed anxious to get out
OF the country. From other sources Of
information 1 am equally as well sntis-
fed that the bands that were In ROutt
county have all returned home Of their
own accord, or under escort Of the Fort
Duchesne troops. There are probably
no Indians remaining in these counties
now, and 1 trust and believe the cam
paign of game protection against In.

nectiOn with my official duties for a

An important decision relating to the
power Of removal from office has been
given by Judge Cox of the supreme
court of the District of Columbia. The
case was that of John G. Wood. super
intendent Of malls at Louisville, Ky,
who applied to the court to enjoin the
postmaster-generaLy from removing
him. His claim was that his superior
had no right to depose him without
giving reasons. because of the civil
service rule recently promulgated by
the president, forbidding removals
from the classified service except for
Just cause and upon written charges.
Judge Cox dismissed the complaint. He
held that the power Of removal is an
incident to the power of appointment,
and that both are lodged ! with the
heads of departments. There can be no
restrictions upon the power of removal
except by legislation, and any rules
touching the matter. whether made by
THE president or. civil service commits
sion, are void. The enforcement OF
such rules is matter that lies between
'the president and his cabinet. In a
similar case In the federal court at
EChicago Judge jenkins has given
Ssimilar decision. Under these inter-
'pretations of the law there is no legal
remedy for the violation Of the rule re-
gently made, and the enforcement of
that rule must depend solely on the ex-
leeutive. --.F .-

An import movement Of gold began
late in September with the arrival Of
$4,0OO,0 900 at San Francisco. from Aus
tralia. and the engagement Of $780,
900 ut London and Paris. These are
the first Imports Of importance since
last November. They are natural re-
suit Of the movement Of the crops. The
active shipment Of grain and cotton
calls for Increased supplies OF money
at the centers Of agricultural produc-
tion, and the deficiency caused by meet
ing this demand Is supplied by gold
paid by the foreign purchasers of our
products. The condition -favors a
continuance of gold imports. as we are
now selling to Europe monthly from
forty to fifty million dollars worth of
our products In excess Of all that we
are buying there. In reality we ought
to get $4,000. 900 imports month.
The monthly interest on our foreign
debts abroad. however. amounts TO
$40.0O0.000 month.
