SALE OF THE UNION PACIFIC.
All Questions of Dispute Settled ana
the Road Goes to the Block.

Washington. Oct. 2.-Ex-Gov. Hoadley,
counsel for the United States in the mat
ter of the Union Pacific foreclosure sale,
ference with Attorney General McKenna,
arranging the details of the sale on Nov.
/ and the subsequent transfer of the gov
ernments interest In the property to the
highest bidder.
1t is understood from perfectly trust
worthy sources that the committee has
acceded to the governments contention
that its lien on the Union Pacific road
includes the Omaha bridge, and that it
has increased its cash bid so as to make
their guarantee offer for the property, in
Guiding the sinking fund now in the treas
ury. about $50OOO,O0O SO far as can be
learned, the reorganization committee will
be the only bidder at the sale, and in all
probability the transfer will be consum-
mated by the payment of the purchase
price by Dee. !, or very soon thereafter.
Treasury officials recognize the fact that
the withdrawal from circulation OF $i5.
100000 in cash at one time might have a
very serious effect In the money market.
and, in consequence, are devising plan
by which the force of the shock may be
reduced TO the minimum. No determina-
tion of the question has yet been reached,
but IL seems probable that at least $780,,
100000 OF the amount may be placed on
deposit with government depository banks
until Jan. l, when it will be needed for
the redemption Of the 6 per cent. subsidy
bonds maturing on that date
The remaindersof the purchase money
1t is thought, may be safely transferred
to the treasury.

NOT NEARLY COMPLETED.
The Luetgert Trial VIII Last Much
Longer,

LONGER
Chicago, oct. 2.-The close Of the sixth
week Of the celebrated trial of Adolph
Luetgert for the alleged murder of his
wife, showed the case far from completed
Luetgert's story has not been heard. The
big sausage maker may be on the stand
q week.
1t is predicted that the anxiety of the
accused man to talk will be fully salts
fed before his cross examination Is closed
If he goes on the witness stand, and ex-
Judge Vincent, chief counsel for the de-
Tense. has promised that Luetgert win
be heard.
The greater part Of last week was de-
voted to threshlng over old straw. The
consensus of opinion at the close Of the
week this afternoon by close observers of
the trial since the opening. was that the
prosecution had the better Of the argu-
ment. Experts of the defense have con-
tradicted each other on cross-examina-
ton. They have also made blunders In
the Identification of bones which amused
the Jurors and apparently weakened their
testimony. Both Of the hands Of Charles
Boos, a stenographer In the states attor-
ney's office are swollen badly and much
infamed. Boos has been reporting the
Luetgert trial, and has handled the bones
placed in evidence quite freely A ply
sician who to-day examined the stenog-
rophers hands said they showed evidence
OF tubercular germs. The result may be
serious.
The trial will last at least three weeks
longer.

PUBLIC HEALTH PARAMOUNT
Postmaster Gary Replies to the New
Orleans Board of Health.


Orleans board of Health.
Washington, Oct. 2-The following tel
egram has been sent by Postmaster Cen
eral Gary to President Isaac Levy of the
New Orleans Board OF Trade, regarding
the governments plans for checking the
spread of yellow fever
Your telegram of the S0th to the
President, transmitting resolutions, has
been referred to this department for re-
ply. The federal authorities are in con-
stant communication by telegraph with
state boards of health and superintend-
ents of the railway mail service, and ev-
cry possible effort is being made to so dis
infect all mails and mail clerks that local
quarantine regulations may be raised at
all points as against New Orleans. Yes
terday Csept. 800 many points in Texas
were quarantined against Houston. To
day nearly every local quarantine against
that city had been raised through the
efforts of this department
Eve propose now to establish disin-
fecting camps outside of New Orleans on
every railroad, and to meet all mails to
and from New Orleans at these camps,
not allowing either cars or clerks to pro-
coed beyond. These, or such other reg
ulations as we may secure, will no doubt
greatly relieve the situation. We must
not forget that public health transcends
even the greatest commercial interests.
This department desires to conserve both
and allay the fear of contiguous diseases
spreading. James A. Gary,
Postmaster General.
