KANSAS PACIFIC SALE.
Attorney General GrigGs Responds to
the Harris Resolution.

the Harris Resolution.
Attorney General Griggs has replied to
the Harris resolution of inquiry regarding
the sale of the Kansas Pacific which passed
the Senate yesterday. The Attorney Cen
eral says that the government has already
complied with the decree of the court en-
titling it to become a bidder. If the sale
was allowed to proceed upon the adjourned
day, with no assurance Of a bid equal to
the amount of the principal of the govern
ment's debt, it would be incumbent upon
him to bid in the property for the govern
ment. This would have been attended with
difficulties, the chief of which would be that
the government was not authorized to op-
crate the railroad in its own name or
through its agencies, and serious doubt ex-
listed to whether the court would, after
the sale, appoint and continue receivers for
the mere purpose of operating the road on
behalf of the government.
He then refers to what took place in ST.
Louis when the reorganization committee
offered to bid the amount of the principal
of the government debt. In conclusion, he
says:
Answering specifically the questions
contained in the resolution of the Senate, l
would say that / have not authorized any
agreement by which the property is to be
sold for the face value of the subsidy bonds,
nor has the government agreed not to be
bidder at the sale. The only agreement
made was to discontinue the motion for
postponement. redemption and the appoint
ment of a receiver upon the guarantee that
the minimum bid by the reorganization
committee should be the principal of the
government debt The property will be sold
at public sale in open competition to such
party may offer the highest bid, subject
only to the stipulation obtained in open
court on Saturday last that the minimum
bid will be Sc 1903 900, instead Of s., 500 900,
as formerly fixed by the court"

where indigestion existed the different

The doctor said in reply to a question
from Mr. Davis that she was sixty-five
years of age, that she served throughout
the war and first did service in this very

upon the intimate relations Of the eyes and
other parts Of the anatomy.
The assistant secretary took the matter
under consideration.

terday afternoon was enivened by Wig
erous EFFORT by Senator Tillman of South

Wshan Islands were of strategic import
anoe to the United States. Senator Gal

tors were seeking to make reports upon
formations. several coming In after Mr..
I1liman had risen. His voice was drowned
by theirs. and it began to look as If the
senate might adjourn without his being
heard. Apparently realizing the situation.
the South Carolina senator took his posi-
tlon IN the middle aisle directly in front of
the chair and demanded to be heard.

This remark apparently did not fall
agreeably upon Mr. Tillman's ears. and he
replied by appealing for protection and
1air treatment. Il have been member of
this body for three years. he said, land I
have always tried to deport myself as a
gentleman, and I think 1 am entitled to
fair trea tment"
At this point Senator Gallinger who oc-
cupied the chair. raped for order. He
then explained that the failure to recog-
nize Mr.. Tillman was due entirely to an
lpadVertence. and to the fact that his at
tention had been directed in another way.
To this Mr.. Ttllman replied that the ex-
PLANTATION was entirely satisfactory, and he
then proceeded TO make his point, which
was that the strategic Importance of the
Hawaiian Islands was overrated. He ar
gued that In case of war between Japap
and the United States Japan could bring
coal for her warships over in tenders and
thus render herself entirely Independent of
the islands.
