Freeman Smith of this city died
from blood poisoning in 1895, as the
result of sore toe, the skin OF which

policy. The association appealed.
Judge Sanborn held that the death of
the defendant had been brought about

STOCKHOLDERS MUST PAY.


Chicago, Feb. 15.-The stockholders
of the Pacific Railway company must
pay the creditors and bondholders of
flation Of the stock.
The supreme court of Illinois has rem
dered the decision in affirming the de-
cision of the appellate court, which held
that the stockholders We're liable.
The case is remanded to the circuit
court with instructions to compel the
creditors to prove up what is due the
committee, to compel the stockholders
to show the true value of their stock
and then to command them to pay to
the creditors the balance due. The
amount involved Is said to be some
thing like $1,O00.O00 though the exact
amount has never been ascertained.
The. case has been in the courts of hi
nois for several years, with results first
in favor OF the stockholders and then
of the creditors. The opinion of the SUI
preme court is final and the order TO
the lower court is but a formsl process
to secure a final settlement. The stock
holders are all, or nearly all, Chicago
capitalists, while the creditors include
several of the banks of the city. Among
the former are mentioned c. b. Holmes.
John J. Mitchell. james j.. Houghtel-
ing. Morton y. Hull and Alex. Geddes.
Holmes was the president of the Pacific
Railroad company. All of the forego-
ing We're directors.
In 1889 Holmes formed Il syndicate
which purchased horse car line in Los
Angeles. Cal. \ company was organ
lied under the title Of the Los Angeles
Gable Railway company and the work
of transforming the line into II cable
road was begun. The original figures
had said that 81 100000 would be enough
to build the system and put II In oper-
alton, but the syndicate found that
$1,000. 900 would be required. a new or
gani2ation was then arranged and the
title of the Pacific Railway company
was adopted, capitalized at S2,500,0O0
and Incorporated under the laws of the
state of Illinois. The bonds of the com
pany We're taken up by many of the
Chicago banks with the understanding,
as the creditors attorneys have re-
peatedly asserted. in the courts, that
the capital was paid up in full. Sub

Under these conditions, the com

ASHAMED. GRIrvED AND SORRY.
Spanish Ministers Say They Have Been
Placed In u False Position by II Fool.

New York. Feb. 15.-In conversation
with a Madrid correspondent of the
Herald last night one of the cabinet
ministers said:
you may say openly, as coming
from Senior Sagasta and from each of
us. that we entirely condemn In the
most absolute manner, Senior de Lome's
letter. We are ashamed grieved and
sorry thereat. The ministers feel more
aggrieved than President Mckinley can
possibly be. We are honest men. who
have been placed in a false position by
fool"
In reply to further questions the
minister said;
"Canalejas's journey was absolutely
private, and in no way possible did we
trust or use him"
The Washington correspondent of
the Herald says that the announcement
from Madrid that the Spanish minister
has decided to reply in a fitting manner
to Minister Woodford's representations
in regard to the De LONE letter is
highly satisfactory to administration
officials. No one is more pleased over
the matter than the President. He has
never doubted from the first that Spain
would repudiate the action OF Its min
lister. His only concern has been that
the delay In closing the incident might
lead to some outburst in Congress
which would cause embarrassment to
the administration before the Spanish
government had had an opportunity to
make satisfactory response.

The resolution introduced yesterday
by Mr.. Harris OF Kansas. directing the
attorney general to furnish the Senate
information as to the agreement
reached by the government with the
reorganization committee of the Union
Pacific railroad concerning the Kansas
Pacific branch, was laid before the
Senate.
Mr.. Chandler said he had no objec-
tion to the resolution, but did not APP
prove of the preamble which included
a press dispatch,
Mr.. Harris replied that he might not
insist on the preamble after he had
made a statement, The Union Pacific,
he said. for long time had attempted
to influence Congress and officials of
administrations to scale down the debt
of that company TO the government
about fifty per cent. Until year ago
last January the company had been
unsuccessful. At that time they made
an arrangement with Mr.. Cleveland's
administration by which the road was
! to be disposed of with loss to the
| government of about SOS. 900 900. Mr.
| Harris then outlined the reasons why
| that arrangement was not carried into
effect. Public sentiment was aroused
from Maine to California, the demand
of the people, he said, being that they
should not be swindled out of the enor-
| nous sum mentioned.
The debate continued, Messrs Hoar
and Foraker defending the admins
tration. The resolution was then
passed.
