L. M. Whitehous,

the company's debt to the United
States will be accepted. The Govern
ment mortgage will be foreclosed, the
road sold and the company reorganized.
This statement is made on the highest
authority. For some days recently the
President had been in conference with
the representatives of the company
and with the Attorney General, and be-
fore he left Washington he agreed to
the sale of the road and the reorgani-
zation upon the basis upon which the
Reorganization Committee suggested.
The announcement of the decision
may be looked for at an early date. It
will come in an order for foreclosure,
issued by President Mckinley to the
Secretary of the Treasury The agree
ment to which the President has de-
cided to give his sanction is the same
which was submitted to Congress by
President Cleveland last January.
Under this agreement the Reorgani-
zatiOn Committee agrees to bid for the
! road under the foreclosure sale the
sum of S45,754,O59. The principal debt
OF the Union Pacific to the United
States was $35,539,512. A portion of
this has not yet been advanced by the
United States. The interest paid by
the Government amounts to $685.
S93.11.
The agreement for a foreclosure
sale also contains a provision for the
reorganization of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company and it's Kansas Pa
cific branch. The new capitalization
of the company under the Fitzgerald
plan will be s1OO.OOO,OO of 4 per cen,
bonds, $75,00O,000 of preferred stocl
and SCI 100000 of common stock.
:! 1t is said that the reorganization o.
the company will be effected immedi
ately after the foreclosure sale, a,
plans for it have already been made.

Whitehouse? Oh, he's tickled to death.
He and Gorham reached the top of the
ridge just as the first charge went off !;
a severe rumble followed, and they
thought the entire ridge would give
way, SO they went down the other side
as far as they could, counted reports
and waited results. When they found
the ridge was not going to tumble they
climbed back and surveyed the debris.
"The ridge for almost its entire
length along the side where the blast
ing was done has been so loosened that
we will have no difficulty in removing
it with picks or bars. We are well sat
isfied and the road will be completed in
December"

explosion was at 3:0S p. M, and in Is
minutes the finale was rung off. From
start to finish there was an almost
constant roar, caused by the rock and
loose soil rolling down the mountain.
This had hardly ceased when sharp
cannonading was heard coming from
the other side of the ridge. About 10
blasts, smaller than the 10, were sent
Off, but they were not in view of the
crowd.
In the main blasts the tendency of
the smaller rocks was upward and out
ward across the old road and far out
into the valley; only. once did they
come in the direction of the spectators,
and then not near enough to cause any
alarm. 1t was estimated that nearly
5000 tons of rock and earth were sent
down the mountain by means Of the
19 blasts, to accomplish which more
than 5000 pounds of black powder and
so pounds of giant powder (75 per cent
nitro-glycerine) were used. Contractor
Wilson was seen last night and asked
as to the success of the affair from the
standpoint of contractor.
'It was success in every way, and
Mr.. Whitehouse and myself are per-
fectly satisfied. It is gratifying to us
that such large blasts could be set oil

Understanding Made to Control the
Levant.
LONDON, September 21.-The Rome
correspondent of the Daily News says:
1t is learned from a high source that
Germany's want of alarm over the
Franco-Russian alliance is thought to
be due to an existing understanding be-
tween Russia, Germany, France and
Austria about the Levant which has
been made with view to future events
leading UP to changes in the Levant,
and which deals with their several por-
tions in the eventful division.
Germany finds her satisfaction in
security from attack. She will thus be
at leisure to develop her internal re-
sources. Efforts are making to induce
Italy to join the league, which, it is as

Say Martin Is Alive.

A report was circulated at Marinette
that Charles l. Martin, the well-known
business man of Sturgeon Bay, Wis, who
disappeared with two companions in a
rowboat three years ago, is alive and that
he is living somewhere in the West. Mar
tin and two fishermen started on a cruise
around the bay one morning and that
was the last seen of them alive. There
was report at the time that the boat
had been seen to go down, but all efforts
to find the boat or the remains of the
missing men proved futile. The general
belief is that Martin and his companions
were drowned. Last week the body of
an unknown man was found on the beach
and the general supposition was that it
was the remains of either Martin or one
of the men who were with him at the time
of the accident. The body could not be
identified and, the mystery is as great as
ever.

Ouick Tariff Work.

The quick work done by Congress on
the Dingley Tariff is hardly appreciated
as it should be. Congress was called to-
gether in extraordinary session ON
March Is. In four months and nine
days the bill had passed both the Unit
ed States Senate and the House Of Rep
resentatives, was acted upon in confer
ence, finally passed by the Senate, and
was signed by the President. This COW
cred a period of 131 days. In 1890 the
Mckinley bill, reported ON April 16,
passed the House on May q, but was
DELAYED in the Senate till September,
and again still further delayed in con-
ference, not being signed by the Presi-
dent till October 1, 1890. It was in all
1853 days before Congress.
When the Democratic party was in
control, the Mills bill dragged along in
1888 and 1889 for nearly 300 days, and
then failed to pass The German Wilson
bill was reported to the House by the
WAYS and Means Committee on De-
cember 49, 1898, and reported to the
