70 FOREqOSE MORTGAGE
So Says Mckinley in Refer
ence to Union Pacific.
REORGANIZATION WILL FOLLOW
Governments Loss win Amount to
About Twenty-Five Mnlion-Tntlu-
ential Men Back of New Company.


entiaI Men Back of New Company.
Chicago, Sept. 27.--A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The Union Pacific reorganization
committee proposition for the settle-
ment of the company's debt to the
United States will be accepted, the
government mortgage will be fore
closed, the road sold and the company
reorganized. This statement is made
on the highest authority.
For several days past the president
has had conferences with the represen-
tatives of the company and with the
encouragement, and before he left
Washington he agreed to the sale of the
road and its reorganization upon the
basis which the reorganization commit
tee suggested. The announcement of
the decision may be looked for at an
early date. 1t will come in an order
for foreclosure issued by the president
to the secretary of the treasury.
The agreement to which President
Mckinley has agreed to give his sane
tion is the same which was submitted
to congress by President Cleveland
last January. Under this agreement
the reorganization committee will bid
for the road under foreclosure sale,
the sum of $40, 900, 900.
In order to give an intelligible state
ment of what this bid will mean to the
United States, it is necessary to enter
briefly into the history Of the Union
Pacific obligation to the government
The principal debt of the Union
Pacific to the United States was $780,
5S9,5l2 A portion of this has not yet
been advanced by the United States.
The interest paid by the government
amounts to $50, 954. 1898. The whole
Indebtedness on the lst day of July,
1897, was $40, ,494, 405. The sinking
fund of the Union Pacific in the hands
of the treasurer of the United States on
the same day was SIT, 73S, 209. After
deducting the sinking fund, which is
an asset of the company in the hands Of
the United States for the puprose of
paying the debt of the Union Pacific
Company to the government, the sum
Of $2S,O15,850 remains to be paid.
That is the only sum which the Fitz-
gerald reorganization committee, as it
is known, will be required to pay the
government
The loss to the government is the diff
erence between $53, 900, 900, which is
the net amount due the government in
round numbers, and the $28, 900,
making loss Of nearly $25, 900, 900 in
round numbers. according to the fgur-
ing Of the opponents of the agreement.
The agreement for the foreclosure
sale also contains provision for the
reorganization of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company and its Kansas Pa
cific branch. The reorganization COM
mittee consists of Louis Fitzgerald,
Jacob Fl. schieff, 7. Jefferson Coo
lidge. jr.. Chauncey M. Depew, Marvin
Hughitt and Oliver Ames. The cap
italization of the new company under
the Fitzgerald plan will be 500, ,000,-
600, per cent bonds, $75, 900, 900 of
preferred stock and $61. 900, 900 of COM
mon stock.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing. Hopkins 3 Company's Review
of Trade.


The renewed export demand has been
the dominating factor in the wheat
market during the last week. The for
ward movement of the new crop has
been disappointing both in quantity
and in quality, but has been suffi-
ciently large to warrant the expecta-
tion of fair increase in stocks at CEN
ters Of accumulation. The market is
lacking in speculative support, the vol
ume of speculation having fallen to the
minimum. This serves to emphasize
the legitimacy of the present advance
There has been no change in crop pros
pecss in America and we still maintain
that the present crop will be the second
largest raised in the history of this
country From speculative point of
view the market now possesses tive
sides. There is no longer an- t',ubt
that Europe requires all of our avail
able surplus. We cannot meet this in
creased draft and at the same time re-
plenish our at present depleted reserves
in all positions. But it must be re-
membered that Europe has already
bought largely and that her necessi-
titles are not entirely for the immediate
present but for the entire crop year.
The increasing movement Of the new
crop promises to more than Offset the
demand for the time and result in in
creasing stocks.
Corn is king. This has been and is
ia year of prosperity and advancing
values. 1t is futile to talk of surplus
supplies or the growing crop. The for
mer is unprecedentedly large The
latter promises to be much smaller than
anticipated, but neither will have but
temporary influence ON values. We
are emerging form period of depres.
sion and panic. Every other commod.
ity is advancing in value. Corn is
going to participate in the general ad.
vance. 1t has been selling too low. II
is going to sell higher The shortage
in the wheat, rye and potato crops OF
the world insures the substitution OF
corn as a food product to an extent
never before known. To argue that
corn is going to sell lower is to main.
tain that the panic still exists. Every.
one knows better.

FOOD SHORTAGE INEVITABLE.
Captain Tuttle's Report on Conditions
in the North.

AH AhtC 3NOAtns
Washington, Sept. 81. - Captain
Tuttle, in command of the cutter Bear,
of the Behring sea patrol, in report
to the secretary of the treasury, gives
an official account OF the rescue of Cap
tain Whitesides, his wife and number
Of the crew Of the steamer Neyarch,
which was caught in the ice pack off
Icy Cape, July 30, and also reports as
to the condition of affairs at st.
Michaels.
The Bear reached St. MicAaels Au-
gust 28, where about 300 miners we're
found camping on the beach. On ar
rival Captain Tuttle received requests
from the Alaska Commercial Company
and the North American Trading Com
pany to remain with his command at
St. Michaels until some means could be
devised to maintain law and order.
He was informed that among the sud-
den influx of people were many bad
characters, and previous to the arrival
Of the Bear, open threats had been
made as to what they would do if the
transportation company failed to get
them up the Yukon. This was impos-
sible with the means at hand.
Captain Tuttle says that navigation
would close in a few days and that 12
vessels were then on the way to st.
Michaels, the most of them with pas
sengers. and he thought if they did not
return on the vessels which brought
them, much suffering must result.
The captain decided to comply with
the requests which had been made un-
til Captain Hooper, Of the command of
