ON THE PACIFIC RAILROADS.
senator morgan Presents Vigorous
Minority Report.

washington, March Ex-senator Nor.
| gan today presented minority report or
the Dill recently favorably reported tc
| the senate for adjustment of the Pacific
! railroads debts through the agency OF
| a commission. The report gives the cir.
! cumstances of the inception of this ma
| tlonal highway across the continent, and
maintains that it was essentially a gov
erh1nent undertaking, entrusted to private
| hands, Just as national banks are instru-
inehtalltles Of the government, although
in private hands.
To secure the government against a de-
1ault OF these corporations in the pay
ment or the bonds issued to enable them
70 pulld these railroads, there was pro-
vlded In the charters distinct and sep
arate lien upon all their property of ev-
cry description in favor of the United
States. The statute provides for forfeit
ure on default of payment and transfers
the TUE and possession by act of law
to the United States. The government is
thus substantially made absolute and un-
conditional owner of the corporation
property of every kind in place Of the
stockholders, whose ownership thereupon
ceases. The report then points out that
tLls Dill provides an agreement with the
owners" of the Union Pacific railroad
without declaring who owns 1t, and deals
win II as II the United States is not the
owner. The bill also. it is insisted, de-
stroys the unity of this great highway.
ana proposes to separate the Central Pa
ellie from the Union Pacific road
MI. Morgan states in the report that he
VIII offer an amendment in the senate
providing that the provisions of the bill
snail apply to both the Pacific railroad
companies. The senator says If this 'fa-
TAI act OF separation between these roads
mas not reached a conclusive stage by
reason OF agreements made by the presi-
ueht Tor the disposal of the governments
interests In the Union Pacific road, then
IL ne intercepted and placed in the hands
OF thls proposed commission.
Mr.. Morgan contends that the destruc-
ton of this unity will enable a great rail-
ROAD corporation to control the transpor-
tation from New York to the Pacific
coast.
Mr Morgan refers to the enormous
frauds perpetra ted by both of these rail-
road companies upon the United States,
the remedy for which is easily in reach
through tribunals of justice.
Ihe report then argues that the presi-
dent should not be left as final umpire,
as proposed by this bill, sin a contest be
tween crime and public Justice
The responsibility rests upon congress
he said, and it should not unburden it
on the president.
The report closes with a statement as
to the powerful engine which the COM
m1ttee bill places under the direction of |
the president and cabinet

ply. But I do not hesitate to state" he
continued, that the duties in this bin
are higher than necessary for the Just
