UNION PACIFIC QUESTION.

Spirited Discussion in Senate-Attor-
 ney General Griggs' Statement.
 Washington, Feb. 15.--A resolution of inquiry offered yesterday by MT. Harris of Kansas, precipitated spirit ed discussion of the Pacific railroad question in the senate to-day. The resolution called upon the attorney general for the reasons which induced him to abandon his plan of redeeming the first mortgage bonds of the Kan sas Pacific branch of the Union Pacific and having the road operated by a re- ceiver. MT. Harris denounced the pres ent plan to sell the road at the bid or the reorganization committee as de- frauding the government out of some thing more than S6,000,0O0. MT. Forak- CT of Ohio explained the view taken of the matter by the administration, showing the president was convinced the reorganization committee proposed to pay for the road all that it was worth. The resolution was finally passed in amended form.

F ord of Suffield, a nephew of the bride. The ushers were Miss Edith M. Ford, the brides sister, and Miss Mar garet B. Bray, the daughter of the groom. The ceremony was followed by reception, which was largely at tended. The couple left during the af- ternoon for a southern trip of two or three weeks. Mir.

GRIGGs' STATEMENT.

Washington, Feb. 15.--Attorney General Griggs replied to-day to the Harris resolution which passed the senate. The attorney general says that the government already has compiled with the decree of the court entitling it to become a bidder. If the sale were allowed to proceed upon the adjourn ing day, with no assurance of a bond equal to the amount of the principal of the government debt 1t would be in- cumbent upon him to bid in the prop erty for the government. This would be attended with difficulties, the chief of which would be that the government is not authorized to operate the rail- road in it's own name or through its agencies, and serious doubt exists as 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 of fered to bid the amount of the princi- pal of the government debt In con- clusion, he says:
 "In answering specifically the ques- tions contained in the resolution of the senate would say that have not all- thorized any agreement by which the property is to be sold for the face value of the subsidy bonds, nor has the gov- ernment agreed not to be a bidder at the sale. The only agreement made was to discontinue the motion for post ponement, redemption and the appoint ment of receiver upon the guarantee thatthe minimum bid by the reorgan- ization committee should be the prin- cipal in open competition to such party as may offer the highest bid subject only to the stipulation obtained in open court on Saturday last that the mini mum will be $6,3O3, 900 instead of s2,- 500,000 as formerly fixed by the court.

New California Tourist Arraneement.

NcW CHiliOIhih fATrHHketnSnts
 The Great Rock Island route will hereafter conduct its tourist excursion business under it's direct supervision. All the good features of the old system will be retained and additional advan- tages will be added.
 The Rock Island personally conducted Tourist Car excursions to California have always proved their right to be called the best by carrying the most people, and exceptional inducements now offered will maintain the high standing they have reached. Choice of two routes Is given. Excursion via Fl Paso and the popular Southern route to Los Angeles and San Francisco leaves Boston every Monday. Excursion via Colorado and the Scenic route to San Francisco and Los Angeles leaves Bos- ton every Wednesday.
 A cardinal advantage of the latter route is the opportunity afforded for a lay over at Colorado Springs for suff1- cient time to visit the famous natural wonders at Manitou without delaying the journey.
 This tourist car system can offer advantages enjoyed by no other route for proof of which address L l.. Loomis N. B. P. A., 200 Washington street, Bos. | ton Mass.

COLONY HISTORICAL SOCIETY.


 The ladies' committee of the New Haven Colony Historical society an- nounces the course of entertainments to be given during the Lenten season at the Historical building on Grove street. The first on the list will be a musical recital by MT. and Mrs. George Henschef on Saturday evening, Febru- ary 19 at 8 o'clock. The second is a lecture, entitled From Lexington to Yorktown, by William w. Ellsworth on Saturday, the 18th. On March 25 John Fiske will lecture on "The Settle ment of New Netherlands" The fourth and last lecture will fall on March 12 and will have for it's attraction Colonel Henry Watterson, editor of the Louis- vile Courier-Journal, who will speak on the subject Money and Morals D The course is an admirable one.
 The New York Times says of MT. and Mrs. HenschePs recital at Chickering hall, New York: Tt would be difficult, indeed, to imagine any concert of vocal music which could give more substan- tiaI enjoyment than one of the Hen schel song recitals. Both of these peo- pie are artists, and their limitations are of the kind that may be confronted with the greatest fortitude.
 Mrs. Henscheps voice production is a lesson in the art of song, and her phrasing is so beautiful that it is diffi- cult to find it's equal on the stage to- day. There is certainly none superior to it. Her singing is to-day as it has been for some years, the perfection of refinement. Of course she is not an Isolde or a Brunnhilde, but that is a blessing. The great dramatic sopranos grow bit wearisome once in while And then what can be more restful than the bewitching grace of Mrs. Hen schel's style?"
