PLOT DISCOVERED.
Worden Was Making Ready to Cult
Jail

Sacramento, Cal. June 25-This morn
ing half a dozen fine steel saws, made
with file out of a watch spring. were
found concealed behind a court plaster
on the back of Walter D. Worden. the
condemned train wrecker, at Folsom
prison. Pieces of iron used as a handle
for the files were found in the sole of
his slippers securely fmbedded Fur
ther discovery revealed the ex-
istence Of a plot on the part of
Worden and other prisoners confined
alongside and above him to escape. A
desperate convict named Wilson had
effected means of communication be-
tween his cell on the upper tier and
that of Worden on the lower by which
the files We're each night hoisted up to
him. He had employed them on the
iron door OF his cell with coed effect in
the making of an aperture to allow him
TO escape. The plan was for him to
libe~ate Worden al night and they.
with others IN the blot. were to over
power the corridor night guards and
escape by the skylights. They were to
have arms brought TO them from out
side the prison and secreted in the ash
barrel of the corridor.

HARRIS RESOLUTION.
SENATE COMMITTEE WILL RE
PORT IT FAVoRABLY.
United States Should Redeem the
Union Pacific Railway From Prior
Liens.

Washington, June 25.-The senate COM
mittee on Pacific railroads today agreed
TO report favorably the resolution intro
duced by Senator Harris of Kansas. ex-
pressing the sense of the senate that
the United States should redeem the
Union Pacific railway from prior liens
and take steps TO foreclose the govern
ment mortgage The resolution was
amended by the addition of a provision.
at the instance of Senator Morgan, re-
questing the president to suspend pro-
ceedings TO carry into effect the agree
ment alleged TO have been made TO sell
the interests of the United States in the
Union Pacific railroad and in the sinking
fund until further action of congress is
The action of the committee was
unanimous. Senator Harris was au-
thoriZed TO make the report.
IN representing the resolution to the
senate Mr.. Harris will introduce re-
port which. while it is not authorized as
a committee report. gives the Kansas
senator's views. and indicates the reasons
of the committee for the action taken.
This report states that il was the inten-
ton of congress that the Pacific railroads
should constitute continuous national
highway. and thus proceeds:
When the executive department of the
government consents to an arrangement
by which this fundamental object of the
law IS absolutely and forever defeated
and the great line so highly Drized IS to
be divided IN among warning and con-
fiicting interests. il is time for an earnest
and emphatic protest on the part of con-
gress. and when. further. it is found
that the executive not only permits but
actually participates and aids in the exc
cution of this destruction. as shown by
the correspondence as given by the let
ters from the encouragement in re-
sDonse to the senate resolutions of jan
uary p. and March rs. 1897. and hereto
attached. and actually proposes to con-
sent to the surrender of the sinking fund
and the enormous sarifice of the pecun-
larry interests of the government. Il would
seem beyond the powers of the most
able of corporation agencies to satisfac-
spOndence shows letter from various gov
eminent directors highly approving this
unlawful proceeding. II we are to be-
lieve the current news of the da- some
OF these directors are largely interested
in the proposed new organization. and
history seems able to repeat Itself and
the practices OF the credit mobilier and
the construction companies of the past
to be once more revived and put in
operation.
If the government has knowledge of
this plan of reorganization it has not
been communicated TO congress. and the
haste IN the sale of the property under
the e-isting agreement with the former
executive, which IS evidently a part of
the plan. requires the active interven-
ton of congress in demanding a full
cution.
Figures are added to show that under
the proposed reorganization the govern
ment would lose S24 zS4.3S5. and il is also
claimed that great losses would be sus-
tanned by other creditors.
