KANSAS PACIFIC's SALES.
The Government VIII Not Sacrifice
the Road.

The government has fully decided to quail
ify as a bidder at the sale of the Kansas
Pacific railroad December 16, in case of the
failure of the reorganization committee to
guarantee the government what is regard
ed as a fair and just figure for its interest
Whether the President and the Attorney
General, however, will exact the full
amount of the governments claim of APP
proximately $13,0oO,O0O is not known.
1t Is learned that some days ago the re-
organization committee submitted a propo-
sition which was positively declined. What
the proposition was has not been made pub
lie. With this exception. no communca-
tions bearing upon the subject have been
made by either party, nor does the govern
ment know what the purposes or plans of
the reorganiza ZION committee are with ref
erence to the sale. If no offer which would
be regarded as reasonable is received prior
to next Tuesday Wednesday. the gov
eminent will qualify as bidder by
depositing with the court A certi-
fled check for about S9OO,OOO and
so be in a position to protect its interests.
The sale under the consolidated mortgage
takes place December II. and on the fol-
lowing day the sale under the government
lien.

BIGGER EARNINGS EXPECTED.
President Thomas Looks for Better
Times for the Railways.

AT yesterday afternoons session of the
hearing of the interstate commerce com
mission on car couplers President Smith
of the Louisville and Nashville, in the
course of his explanation of the delin-
quency Of his road, expressed the opinion
that the time was coming when the people
Of this country would demand the confisca-
ton and government ownership of rail-
roads. In connection with his argument
President Smith presented a petition in
favor of an extension signed by 2,341 EN-
ployes Of the l.. and n. He also presented
voluminous petitions signed by shippers in
all parts of the south.
While President Thomas of the Nashville
Chattanooga and ST. Louis road was ad-
dressing the committee Chairman Morrison
asked what the roads would do in the mat
ter in compliance with the law if their
earnings did not increase.
Mr.. Thomas created much merriment by
replying that his confidence in coming
prosperity has been so great that he had
broken the record of lifetime and had
voted for Mckinley.
when southern man does that" said
lie, Ibis faith is absolute
Questions asked by the commissioners de-
veloped the fact that 10 per cent of the
freight cars now in service were not worth
equipment. Those cars would be retired
during the period of extension.
Among others who addressed the COM
mission was l.. s. Coffin, formerly of the
Iowa state railroad commission. who con-
tended that the commissioners duty was to
execute the law; that the effect of refusal
to extend its provisions on the commerce
was not to be considered. The object Of
the legislation was the protection of the
lives and limbs of railroad employees and
passengers.
Figures furnished by Secretary Moseley
of the commission show the total number
of cars owned by the roads which filed pe-
titions for an extension to be LOGS, 1O4, of
which those owning 2Ss,2SO cars had be-
tween ID per cent and 100 per cent of their
rolling stock equipped, those owning 394-
81 cars had between JO and a. per cent
equipped, those owning 230,271 cars had
between % and 30 per cent equipped, and
those owning 156,S41 cars below - per cent

DUTY on DUTCH SUGARS.
The Exact Rate Has Not Yet Beer
Fixed.

The exact rate of the countervailing duty
to be imposed upon Dutch sugar has not
yet been definitely ascertained, but it is
said that it will approximate 4s cents per
hundred pounds on raw sugar and a slight
advance on these figures on refined.
The Secretary of the Treasury has come
to the conclusion that the Belgian govern
ment pays an export bounty on sugar and
a decision to this effect may be expected
in short time. The additional duties will
apply from September % last, the date of
the circular instructing collectors to sus-
pend liquidation of these sugar entries
pending a final determination of the ques-
ton. The amount of raw sugar imported
from the Netherlands during the last year
was over SS,OO0,0Q0 pounds, of which about
q, 500 900 was not above No. IL, Dutch
standard, and 81, 100000 above that num-
Der.
The sugar imports from Belgium during
the last year aggregated over 123.OO0,GOO
pounds, of which nearly 121 100000 was be-
low No. 16.
