NOW FOR THE GENITAL PACIFIC.
Bruce Says Syndicate Is Organising
to Bid JOr the Road.

Bruce Says a Syndicate Is Organising
TO Bid JOr the Road.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 23.-Sena-
tor Brice of Ohio, a stockhoder of the
Union Pacific Company, said to THE CALL
correspondent tonight that a syndicate
was now organizing which would make a
bid for the Central Pacific after fore
closure proceedings.
The Department of Justice is now try
ing TO come to a conclusion as to whether
that com pany is in default. The company
claims that it has paid up principal and
interest, and that there can be no default
until January 1, 1898. and may not be
then, but in this calculation they include
as an Offset 81 800. 900, which the COM
pany claims the Government owes the
Central Pacific.
Senator Perkins said to-day: 81 hope it
is true that syndicate will offer proper
tionately as much for the Cen.ra Pacific
as the reorganization committee has bid
for the Union Pacifc-vIz: About "a per
cent of the amount due the Government.
l would be in favor of such a settlement" Z"
"WiI it be necessary for Congress to
ratify the agreement made by the Depart
ment of Justice with the Union Pacific ?"
asked CALL correspondent.
Il do not think so,' said Senator Per-
kins. land this seems to be the opinion
also of Senator Brice and others with
whom 1 talked today
Judse Mcguire said tonight: ST under
stand that Mr.. Huntington will urge.the
passage of the Gear Harrison bill for a
Pacific Railroad commission, notwith-
standing the agreement made for the set
tlement of the Union Pacific debt. But
the agreement entered into by the latter
road and Attorney-General Harmon, prac-
tlcally settles Pacific roads action by Con-
gress. 1t viii be easy enough to demon
strate to Congress that no further Iegisa-
tion Is necessary to protect the Govern
ment's interests. l am assured that the
Chicago and Northwestern Railroad will
see the bid of the Union Pacific syndicate
and go them SO, 000, 900 better, as we would
say in the parlance of the gaming-table.
"The Chicago and Northwestern will
offer $50, ,000,00G for the Union Pacific, and
have no doubt that under foreclosure
proceedings the Central Pacific will bring
as much in proportion. Congressman are
now beginning to realize the truth OF
what we have always alleged, viz: That
if the roads were sold under foreclosure
proceedings the Government would realize
almost the entire amount of the Pacific
roads indebtedness"

THE DETROIT COMING HoME.
Her Officers aud Hen Hare Been Ep-
posed to the Plague.

Her Officers aud Hen Have Been Er-
posed 10 the Plague.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23.-The
Navy Department finally admitted to-day
that the cruiser Detroit, now on the China
station, would leave for home about Feb
ruary 8, proceeding for New York via the
Suez canal. II has been known for some
time that the ship was coming home, and
it had been understood that she has not
been ordered direct across the Pacific to
San Franci, co, as is usual, but that her
officers and men. who have been exposed
to the ravages of the bubonic plague. will
sail along the Atlantic coast, making alb
solutely essential stops for coal at East
Indian ports, including those OF the Red
Sea, where healthy conditions never exist.
This created astonishment in official
circles. The orders to the Detroit were
issued before the extent of the plague was
realized, having gone forward by mail,
and in explanation that the ship IS Or
dered over $4,000 instead of 1000 miles to
San Francisco it is said that the Detroit is
needed for the North Atlantic fleet, and
the Suez canal is the shorter route to New
York

THE MACHIAs AT BANGKOK.

Hurried 7hither From Hon0kong to Pro-
teot american Interests.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 23.-The
gunboat Machias has arrived at Bangkok
under orders 10 protect American in
terests, having been hurried there from
Hongkong, 2000 miles away, on receipt OF
official news at the State Department last
week of an attack by Siamese soldiers on
United States Deputy Consul-Genera
Kellet.
An American named Cheek entered
into partnership with the Siamese Gov
ernment to get out teak wood, the Gov
ernment advancing money. On the pre-
tense that he did not meet his obligation
they seized the wood as it came down the
rivers and sold it. Subsequently, on
Cheeks death, they prevented his execu-
tors from selling some OF tie numerous
elephants he had used in the forests, ana
when the State Department took the mat
ter up in 1892 Siam resisted the claim OF
5000 900 which was presented. The recent
iroub e. of which the attack on Consul
General Kellet was the climax, grew out
of the claim which Secretary Olney has
now determined to press 30 settlement.
Commander Mckenzie will confer with
Minister Barrett and il the circumstances
warrant a salute to the American flag will
be demanded.
The announcement that the Machias
had been ordered to Bangkok has already
had the effect of materially altering the
attitude OF the Siamese Government to the
United States. She is the first American
war vessel to visit Bangkok for seven
years and the effect of her mission as soon
as its character became known is reported
to have been exactly as Secretary Oney
desired. This information is corroborated
by the immediate effort of Siam to secure
a reference to arbitration of the Cheek
hitherto resisted all efforts 10 collect.

Consul General in this country is now ia

WANT TO BE LET ALONE.

There was a theory in 1850 among
the leaders that all they asked was to be
let alone in the Slave States. Every
Stranger passing through Virginia.
Kentucky or Missouri, was an aboli-
ton suspect. SO terrible was that re-
Slme that no stranger could pass IN
less there was some one in the com
munity to identify him, or he was de-
Hyered into the hands of the authori-
ties, 1t was marvellous how boastfullv
perfect those compacts or gangs be-
came, and how skilful they could use
revolver, and how wide range their
personal acquaintance, being every dav
in the saddle.
As they express it, the surrender"
broke that all up, and now we are glad
to see strangers, and they may bring a
railroad along with them, saw mill
or company of miners; we will assist
them as guides through.
1 have come in touch with these
things and am glad that in my time the
reformation and the deliverence came
complete, in every respect, and reaches
into the farthest territory and now
every man stands equal before the law
without regard to color or previous
condition of servitude
Following the reconstruction period
the leaders happily gave their energies
to the development of the old Cotton
States. Hanging up the sword they
took hold of the plow, the locomotive,
the cotton spinning and textile mach
inery, the mining and manufacturing
machinery, and nobly have the sue
ceeded.

THE BICYCLE CRAZE.

Another, and a mere recent evil is the
bicycle craZe-I would not condemn
the wheel for health, or pleasure. or
any moderate use that may be made Of
for the week day; but it is no surprise
to you when 1 say there seems to be a
growing tendency (among our young
men especially, and the temptation is
very great, to spend Sunday, or large
part of the day on the wheel. by taking
long journeys, and bicycle clubs will
turn out for Sunday run" as thev
call 1t. l heard a prominent Sunday
School superintendent, of PHILADELPHIA
say a short time ago, that some time
last summer one Sunday afternoon,
after Sunday School he was called TO
visit a sick friend, and he was Obliged
to pass through one of the public parks
of that city, and he said he was made
SICK at heart by the sight that greeted
him. In this park young men

some riding and others lounging about
on the grass, and if he saw one he saw
hundreds. This is manifestly a great
evil, and one We must guard very close
ly, or the bicycle will become an agent
in the hands of Satan in the overthrow
Of the Sabbath and in the ruin of prec-
IOus souls.
No work, should be done on the Sab
bath that can be done on the proceed
ng days or deferred to the succeeding
'nes. He who works by his servants,
'r cattle is equally guilty, as if he
worked himself. Hiring out horses
or business or pleasure, going on
ourneys or paying worldly visit on the
Lords day are breaches of this law.

THE NEW SOUTH.

The former generations stopped at
raising cotton, but now the minds of
some conceived the idea that the South
had the warm, moist climate, which is
better for spinning than the cold, dry
atmosphere of the north, ventured the
experiment and found the theory cor
rect; that they could spin finer and
more even yarn than their Northern
competitors, but they lacked the long
list of details inseperable from the
business man. But nothing daunted,
they pushed forward their business as
best they might, until now the names
of Hawley and SlOss, commands the
respect of all business men, the one
in the cotton and the other in the iron
furnaces of the South.
Another matter as important as these
has been pushed to the front, and that
is, the subject of education and en-
lightenment of the masses through the
schools, colleges and universities, COM
ing down to modern cooking, sewing
and mechanical industrial schools.
They have given us new prOdigies in
music, oratOry and elOquence, for
which the South has long been cele-
brated. They have built, furnished
and completed exhibition buildings and
given astonishing and gratifying evi-
dence of paying progress, and paid all
the freight.
Is not this Columbia's greatested ac-
complishment of the century, now so
nearly run out? True electricity comes
in for a large share, and we scarcely
knows whether to admire it most for
its utility or is novelty, and almost
stunning success of a billion dollar
vested interests in electrial machinery
etc: in so short time it is like build
ing up a country, and lifting the level
of new nation up to a plain that we
can command the admiration of the
world.
Visitors of ther lands at the great
exhibition at Chicago lauded and and
praised our success at founding an en-
pire, and improving our lands, build
ing so many beautiful cities, and bind
ing them togeather with bands of steel
and copper SO that we live in momen-
tary touch and in daily intercourse
all of our varied soil and
climate as the former household and
family of one man.
Inventions run on and improvements
go a pace. One hundred years from
now all of our domain will advance in
