bill
William King. president of the Mer-

for the bill. He was opposed to dis

From az indications it would seem
that the transfer of the Utah Central
to the company of Rio Grande Western
officials organized to receive it will
take place tomorrow.
An intimation has been received from
Graft & Dittmar, the New York pur-
chasers. that they would be ready TO
turn over the property as soon as the
legal formalities were complied win
here. AID Frank Pierce, attorney Tor
them, notified the Western people TO
this effect He said ne had been asked
by Bennett, Marshall, HOwat, Bradley
& Richards that they preferred wait
ing until Judge Marshall returned from
st. Louis, and il was expected he would
not be home until today. However,
Judge Marshall returned from the east
yesterday ard the papers were looked
over. The mortgage has been prepared
and Il is in readiness for concurrence.
Colonel Dodge, manager OF the West
ern. who is in the city, said last even
ing he had received no intimation from
the attorneys that he would be needed
to take part in the transfer, but pre-
sumed something would come TO him
today.
He stated in addition TO this, that
nothing had been done in the way of
providing Cor traffic matters, and that
70 officials had been definitely selected.
Colonel Dodge said that as yet moth
ing had been decided as to the policy
of widening the road and making 1t a
standard guage, although il could be
done successfully, by the completion OF
the tunnel mentioned in this paper a
few days ago. He ventured the sug-
gestion that perhaps it would not be
paying yer ture at this time, and from
his demearor led The Herald man to
believe there viii be nothing OF the
kind attempted right away, at least.
Abiding to an intimation, printed in
The Herald, by one of the new corpor-
alton, 10 the effect that the Salt Lake
& Eastern might tbe constructed across
the reservation. along the route de-
scribed IN its articles of incorporation,
TO tie eastern line of Utah, Colonel
Dodge said there was nothing definite
at this time. I'VE will build as soon
as we car get the money, and not be
fore" said the general manager. AT
this time, eastern money is not doing
much building of roads in the west. we
maintain that what will help Utah VIII
help the Western and this road VIII
open up a new country. But so far as
l know, there is nothing in sight in the
immediate future
Replying TO the suggestion that an
eastern connection might furnish a
shorter route, Colonel Dodge said no.
The road would be but Is miles shorter
one way and 35 miles another. They
have copies Of a survey made some
time ago. by the Midland people. The
grades would be much heavier than
by the present route. If the line is
built, It win not be with view to
shortening the road from here to Dem
yer by making traffic connection with
another road, but for the purpose Of
opening some new territory and OBJ
tanning business from its development.

HAVE STOLEN THOUSANDS.
Kansas City Stockmen Rob Rail
roads.

Kansas City, Jan. 6.-The detective
department of the Missouri Pacific
railway has unearthed a conspiracy at
the Kansas City stock yards, by which,
it is alleged, it has been robbed of
thousands of dollars in live stock ship
ments. False afiidayits of live stock
received here have come to the claim
department of the Missouri Pacific,
and shippers have, it is said, been paid
for the number of head of stock re-
ported to be missing. The robbery has
been going on systematically for years,
and nearly every railroad entering
Kansas City is said to have been vic
timized. The amount paid for fraud
ulent shortage claims during the last
five years will run up into the thou
sands of dollars.
w. w. Kay, chief of the secret serv-
ice of the Missouri Pacific. who has
been working on the case for several
days, refused to talk further than to
say that his road had been victimized
out of many thousands of dollars, and
that he expected to make some arrests
within "a hours. The robbery is laid
at the door of the local yard employees
and the shippers.

VIII Have a Private Office.

Jack Reeves, the patient and long
suffering chief clerk of the general
freight office of the Oregon Short Line,
is to have relief at last Jack has an
office adjoining the desk of the general
live stock agent, c. Ira futile. Now,
while Tuttle is a good fellow and talks
low. the people who call on him are
not of the same class. They may be
good fellows, but they have voices
which make the building tremble.
When futile is doing business, Reeves
and his private secretary have to go
into another room. Then, too, when
anyone wants to know what became of
the paint which wore off a box in tran
sit, no one will suit him except the
chief clerk, and that means that Reeves
has to stop in the middle of telegram
relating to so carloads OF coal, and tell
him all about it. So it has been de-
cided to put Mr.. Reeves in a glass case.
A partition will be run around two
sides of him, and 1t viii be entered by

CENTRAL PACIFIC.
No Steps Taken to Foreclose Uncle
Coils.

Washington, Jan. cit is stated on
good authority that up to this time the
government has taken no steps looking
to the initiation of proceedings in fore
closure against the Central Pacific rail-
road, which is said to have defaulted
in its payments to the government on
Jan. l. 1t is said, however, that a rep
resentative of the company recently
had a conference with the president,
Secretary Gage and Attorney General
Mckenna, with a view to the final set
Element Of the companyS obligations
without placing the road in the hands
of a receiver. No definite proposition,
it is understood, was made by the COM
pany's representative or the govern
ment and nothing has occurred beyond
the recent informal conference, which
would indicate that serious effort was
making TO avoid a foreclosure suit.
What the government ultimately Will
do IN the matter cannot be
authoritatively stated. but there
are good grounds for the belief
that t has been it's inten-
ton for some time TO begin legal
proceedings soon after the first of the
year, in the absence of a satisfactory
proposition for a settlement. Owing to
the many claims and counter claims in
VOWED. it IS not possible at this time
to state the exact amount which the
company defaulted on Jan. 1, but the
matter of the due and unpaid principal
on that date was S10,614,120. The other
items in the account are: Balance of
interest due the United States, S35. S52,-
719; bonds redeemed by the govern
ment prior TO Jan. l. s6,O74.000; accrued
interest. $504 1873. Against this total of
500, 043.172, the company has $7,513 $50 in
cash and bonds in it's sinking fund.
There also are judgments and claims
against the government, unpaid,
amounting TO S2.473, $685. which leaves a
net balance on Jan. 1 of S43, 05S, 156. On
Jan. 1, 1899, bonds will mature to the
amount OF s9,197,0OO, exclusive of ac-
crued interest

Ground" In Its Behalf.
Washington, jar. 6.-The interstate
commerce commission today resumed
its hearing of the anti-scalper bill. Mr.
Mckenzie. president of the American
Ticket Brokers association, said he had
received affiGavits from number of
ticket brokers confirming his statement
that the brokers secured 95 per cent
Of the tickets. sold by them from the
railroad companies. When Senator
Cullom asked for names, MIR. Mckenzie
replied that the answer would be a
breach os confidence. While he con-
sidered the question proper, still he
declined 70 --ame the companies, ex-
cept under = summons. In that case
he would respond, but he did not want
to break faith.
E. j. Thiele of the Illinois CONNER
cial Mems association, opposed the bill
as unjust. claiming that the owner of
a railroad ticket should be allowed to
dispose oe It as he might see fit, as
would the owner of any other com
modify. ~
Senator Wolcott made the point that
no honest, honorable man would be
caught travelling around on another
mans name on on-transferable
ticket.

TESLA'S NEW DISCOVERY.
Enables Photographers to Work at
Night as Well as Day.

New York, Jan. 6.-Nikola Tesla an
nounces an important discovery He
Gays that he has perfected vacuum
tubes of such high illumination power
that they may be used in lighthouses
and that they viii enable the photo
grapher to work by night as we'll as
by day. The results which Mr. Tesla
has attained have been achieved by the
use of his vacuum tubes and his os-
cillator The light which he is able to
produce by this means is as bright as
that of the monday sun.
By its use every line of the object
photographed may be made to stand
out clearly and distinctly. 1t is we'll
known that it is difficult to secure
light which will penetrate fog. 1t is
believed that light from the vacuum
tube will eventually be used for this
purpose It is likely that practical ex-
periments will soon be made in some
lighthouse on this coast for the pur-
pose of demonstrating the practicable
ity of Mr.. Tesla's invention.

The Birth of the ..Greater'' New Yorl

With the dawn of the new year the
Greater New York is ushered into the
world a full grown giant. The problem
of municipal government is to be put
to the supremest test. Within its limits
is contained a population equal to that
of IS of our sovereign states at our last
census, and as numerous as that of the
original Is states. Provisions for the
life and health of this vast multitude of
all nations and chimes is an unsolved
enigma. Thousands of sufferers in New
York and elsewhere are wrested from
the grasp of that agonizing complaint,
rheumatism, by the timely use of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which is a
preventive of malaria and kidney COM
plant, and a curative of liver COM
plant, constipation and nervousness.
