Pacific reorganization committee made
the following announcement:
The attorney general has notified this COM
an adjournment of the foreclosure sale of the
Kansas Pacific and Union Pacific railway
property to December 15, so as to postpone
final disposition until after congress shall
have met. This action is no doubt taken to
free the administration from embarrassment.
The reorganization committee has, however,
reached the conclusion that interests of the
security holders, represented by T.. and of
the syndicate furnishing the funds to finance
to reorganization, demand reorganization
without any further delay. In this situation
the committee contemplates so as to gain
prompt possession of the Union Pacific line,
to oppose any adjournment of the sale of tho
main line and to bid it in, If need be, for the
full amount of the governments claim. the
additional sum involved in this being $l2 000,
600. AS to the Kansas lines the foreclosures
of the first liens upon the subsidized divisions
of the Kansas Pacific railway will be ener-
getically pressed, and when these foreclos-
ures shall have been accomplished, the reor-
ganization Of the Kansas Pacific lines will
be completed claimed
Allotments made under the plans to Kansas
Pacific holders and amounting to about $15,-
600 900 In new bouds and 500, ,0G0 600 in pre-
ferred stock will remain reserved for the
reorganization Of the Kansas line.
The amount of new first mortgage bonds to
be issued for the purpose Of the reorganiza-
ton of the Union Pacific main line will. not
exceed 100000 900 and preferred stock $780,
600, ,o00
No change in the plan of reorganization Ia
involved in the foregoing.

1T is worse than the G 10 b e has
given any idea Of" is an expression
that has been heard good many times
by good many people since this paper
began last Saturday to print some of
the secret history of the Minnesota
state prison. People have come to the
Glob e office and made the remark
and have offered to add the weight
of their testament to what has al
ready been published. The G o b e
this morning prints a few more state
ments. John Smith, of Ellsworth, had
sixteen years experience in the prison
and tells little along the line OF bru-
tality shown to prisoners. And, to
make it that much stronger, makes an
affidavit to the truth of what he has
to say. And there are others.
Up to this time the G o b e has used
the statement of men who have been
employed at the prison. There are
scores of others who have suffered
the brutality spoken about, and, so far
as any of them have been seen, are
willing to tell what they know either
to Gov. Clough or any board of inves-
tigation
~ do not want to be quoted per-
sonally," said one of them, but, for
the sake of the men who are in the
prison, 1 will go before any board of
investigation and tell what l know
and saw. Of course, the poor devils
who are behind the walls will not say
anything, because they know they Will
have to pay for it all in the treatment
they receive later. And you do not
know the petty but mean disposition
of Lemon 1 will say that he never
ill-treated me, but the only reason ne
didn't l think was because he knew
| had influential friends, and that ne
might hear of it again. l told him
once that he couldn't act the tyrant
with me. for I would get to my friends
some day. And 1 told him chickens
would come home to roost. And they
will 1t is no use to say that man
has to resort to beating and CLUBBING
and cruelty, even among the worst
men at the prison. l knew two guards
who had some feeling, good fellows
who wouldn't abuse a convict, even
under strong provocation. Theirs was
a word of kindness, not cuft or a
kick. and they got along better than
the men who acted otherwise.
Another man seen yesterday had
something to say about certain
guard whom he had seen pounding
a convict who occupied a cell next to
that occupied by himself There are
| a score of others, and the prison au-
thorities may hear from whole lot
of them. A peculiar thing about all
the information that has come to the
Globe is that each man doubts the
knowledge of Warden Wolfer as to
what is going on in the prison in TINS
line. If the warden continues to read
his Globe, he will learn whole lot
about it during the next few days or
few weeks.
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-10-26
NOT BRUTAL NOR ANYTHING.
Rut the Recommendations Were of
Another Shade.

A local paper last evening printed
what nllrported to be an interview with
Secretary Hart. of the state board OF
corrections and charities, which, TO say
the least. was misleading. 1t SAID the
committee appointed to investigate the
charges against the prison otnclalS III
1890 found that there was no brutanty
or excessive punishment meteo OUT "
prisoners.
There are different opinions as to
what constitutes an excessive punish
ment. 1t appears that Timothy
O'Meara. for example, has a different
idea on this subject than Deputy war
den Lemon, and it is probable that the
relatives of Charles Hahn, who sits
brooding in a cell at Rochester till
death ends his monotonous terrestrial
evistence would hardly indorse the
saltwater measurement OF what con-
stitues an excess.
The committee did find that Deputy
Warden Lemon had struck John Lynch
over the head with q billy so hard that
his head had to be dressed in two
places by a physician, and that he also
struck Frank Anderson to compel him
to move along. and the committee JUS
tilted. as the public no doubt did and
will, these assaults, which were at least
in a measure in self-defense
In its report the committee said:
.,The committee finds that brutal and
cruel punishments are not inflicted. The
punishments inflicted under the present
warden. as already described, are Sc
we're, but. in the opinion of this COM
n1ittee. are neither brutal or cruel"
But almost in the next breath, on
mage IA of the printed report of the
committee, it recommends the follow
ing changes in the prison code, each OF
which was due to some of the reVela-
tions of the investigation which the
legislature started, but was unable to
finish:
I'VE recommend:
"That the claiming of men to the
door be continued only during work
ing hours.
"That when men are chained to the
cell door the hands be placed not more
than breast high, instead of the height
of the chin.
THAT plank be provided about
fourteen by seventy-eignt inches, rails
ed on cleats an inch thick, for men to
sleep on when in punishment to pre-
vent injury from sleeping on the floor
"That punishment be inflicted, here
after in the separate building known
as the solitary and built for that pur-
pcse, instead of being in the cell room
as at present. This arrangement

ton, threw many women and children

THERE ARE OTHER BIDDERS.
Attorney General Mckenna Has In
tfmated ns Much.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25,-Attcrney
General McKenna was shown this
statement and was asked II he mad no.
tilted the committee of his intentions
as stated, to which he replied that ne
had: that Gov. Hoadley, special counsei
of the government in the cases, was dl--
rected last week to make the communl-
cation to the reorganization cCmmi;tee.
He also said that the application would
he made to Judge; Sanborn at st. PAU
for the postDonement of sale, rot of the
main line onIy,-but- of the, Kansas dlv1-
sion lines. He further said that the
government had been very attentive
to the situation and very desirous to
have a sale open to all bidders-on0
that could not be complained of-and
for that reason desired the postpone
ment to enable bidders to prepare and
had reasonable assurances that theri
would be bidders other than the reor'
ganization committee at the sale.
The attorney general declined t.
state what other propositions had beef
received. or by whom made, but it is
certain that the sum expected to be
realized is considerably in excess of
the guarantee offer of the reorganiza-
ton committee That guarantee, the
attorney general said remains in full
force, Notwithstanding the postpone
ment of the sale.
No serious opposition 10 the CONSUME
nation of the sale on the part of con-
gress is anticipated by the department.
Attorney General McKenna was with
the president for quarter of an hour
presumably in reference to Union Pa
cific railway affairs. The attorney
general said after leaving the pres de3t
that thsre were no d velopmeIts Wki-h

that in all probability the meeting of

a definite understanding, and probably
final conclusion on the governments
course.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Hannis Tay-
lor, for the last four years American
minister to Spain, and who has just
returned from Madrid, is about to ad-
dress an elaborate communication to
the people of the United States on the
Cuban question He has reached the
conviction that Spanish statesmanship
is inpotent to solve this problem, and
he feels it to be his duty to lay before
his countryynen his testimony upon the
whole subject matter, in the hope that
it NAV aid them in taking wise and
lust action. In his communication,
which will be published in the Novem-
ber number of the North American Re-
view. he reviews the matter from eV-
cry standpoint, basing his statements
upon the observations which he made
in the course of his negotiations with
the Spanish government. In summing
up the situation he suggests plan
whereby the United States may speed
ily bring the Cuban war to an end.

The Saint Paul globe., 1897-10-26

From developments which came to
the surface yesterday it apepars that
the United States government is not
to lose nearly dozen millions Of dol
lars by the sale of the great Union Pa
eif1c system, which is slated to occur
Gown, who came to town from Omaha
as the special attorney Of the govern
ment in this case called on Judge San
born, of the United States circuit court
of appeals, and stated that the govern
ment desired at an early date in the
future to make motion for the post
ponement Of the date set for the sale.
Judge Gown filed no motion, aff1-
davits or other documents, but simply
gave notice of a future motion. Seen
last night at the Ryan, the general eX-
planned that, although matters might
so shape themselves as to make such a
motion unnecessary, it was the plan
to appear before Judge Sanborn today,
make the motion and have a time set
for hearing on the case. Gen. Gown
received during the day number of
lengthy kilograms from Attorney Gen
eral McKenna. ex-Gov. George Hoadly,
who is a special assistant to the at
torney general, and from other inter-
ested parties in New York and Omaha,
keeping him posted on the situation.
The postponement, if one is asked for,
will be for at least six weeks.
In speaking Of the application which
will probably be made today, Gen.
Gown intimated that the leading rea-
son to be urged by the government for
delay is that a higher bid than that
first talked of by the reorganization
committee can be secured. For this
reason, 1t will be seen that the COM
mittee will undoubtedly oppose the mo-
tion for postponement. At the same
time, advices from the East late yes
terday were to the effect that the COM
mittee stood ready to make an offer for
the property exactly equal to the
amount of the lien held upon it by the
government.
If this is the case, either the COM
mittee may be prepared to offer the
whole amount which approximates
$4,000, 600, at the date set for the sale,
or the application of the government
acted upon favorably by the court, and
the money forthcoming later. In any
event the matter has gone now to
point where $S,0OO,0O has been added
to what it was understood the reorga-
nization committee was willing to bid
for the property
The interests of the committee will
be looked after by Winslow S. Pierce,
a prominent New York attorney, who
is expected to reach here in a day or
two. If definite news is received this
morning that the committee will come
up with the full amount at the sale, as
now arranged for, the government will
probably allow their application for
postponement to go by the board.

But Says He Will Have an Inyestt-

L will have the charges made by the
G b thoroughly investigated, said
Gov. Clough to a G 0 b reporter, at
his home in Minneapolis. last evening
They are either all right or all wrong
and intend to prove the matter"
When first spoken to, Gov. Clough
said that he had not given the matter
much thought, that he had read the
articles in the G O b e, but not very
carefully or thoroughly, and he did
not know just what he would do. He
afterwards said that he had inter-
viewed a number of eX-convicts. since
the articles first appeared, and that
they had all spoken very highly of the
prison = they "all loved Deputy
Lemon
It's farce. a damnable farcer'
continued the governor, warming to
his subject and raising his voice so
that the neighbors over on Third
street wondered what was up. II
KNOW, you know and everybody knows
that we have the best prison in the
country. l know it is managed right,
because I have visited it, and every
body in the state knows it, too.''
Gould it not be possible that every
body in the state, ourselves included,
does not know exactly all that is go
ing on inside the walls?" suggested
the reporter.
"Well, Warden Wolfer does,". was
the answer; 81 tell you Frank Lemon
isn't running that prison, Warden
Wolfer> is. Not that I have anything
to say against Mr.. Lemon, for l think
he is a firstclass man, but Mr. Wo,fer
is the boss
DO you think Mr.. Lemon struck
any convicts on the head with his
cane?'' was asked.
II don't say that he didn't, but it
might have been necessary
Has Warden Wolfer notified you
that he demands an immediate inves-
tigation?"
mo, he hasn't yet; it's only three
days since the thing was first pub
lished. But if I find it is my duty
will send man over to investigate; it
