washington, Jan. 26.-1he proposed
sale of the property of the Union Pa
cific railroad under foreclosure pro-
ceedings instituted by the attorney
general is sought to be impeded and
prevented by a resolution offered in the
senate today by Mr.. Allen, the Popu-
! list senator from Nebraska. 1t in
structs the Pacific railway committee
10 inquire and report whether under
the existing law, the executive depart
ment has the authority TO foreclose
the lien and to sell the property with
out additional legislation, and whether
it is not the duty of the president to
redeem and pay off the paramount
liens and take possession of the prop
erty, and it directs the attorney-gen-
eral to refrain from entering into fur
ther stipulations or agreements pend
ing the inquiry.
In a speech in support of the resolu-
ton, Mr.. Allen insisted that under eX-
listing law it was the duty of the presi-
dent not to direct foreclosure but to
pay off all paramount liens and take
possession of the property.
To an inquiry by Mr.. Plat, (Rep.
Conn.,, whether the remedies provided
in the statute were cumulative, or were
alternative, Mr.. Allen replied that the
language was such as to shut out the
idea of the remedies being alternative.
He also declared that the price named
in the agreement with the reorganiza-
ton committee was not equal to 50
per cent of the value of the property
The resolution went over without ac-
ton, Mr.. Thurston, (Rep Ne0.), stat
ing his desire to speak upon it to-
morrow.
The bill for a commission to an in
ternational monetary conference was
taken up and Mr.. Chandler, (Rep. n.
HI. made a short statement in favor
of it. He said it did not compel the
president to initiate the conference and
that such compulsion was not desir-
able. He had no desire to take from
the president-elect his responsibility
for action or non-action in view of Mr..
McKinley's letter of acceptance stat
ing that the Republican party had de-
olared in favor of AN international
agreement, and that it would be his
duty, if elected, to employ all proper
means to promote it. He subsequently
accepted an amendment offered by Mr.
Bacon, dem. Ga.), giving the presi-
dent authority specifically to call an in
ternatiOnal conference at such point as
may be agreed upon.
All the rest of the time that was I
left of the morning hour to which the /
of the bill was limited, /
was occupied by Mr.. Stewart, (Pop. /
New, in a speech recounting the ills |
inflicted upon the poor by the gold !
but declaring in the end that
he would allow the bill to pass in any
form that its friends desired.
