UNDER A SPECIAL ACT
PRESIDENT WILL REDEEM THE
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS.
THE SALE TO BE POSTPONED
And Sufficient Time Asked for to Enable the
Government 10 Secure More Favorable
Terms. Ample Authority Con-
ferred by Act of 1887.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 5.-GOvernOr
Hoadley was in consultation with the
Attorney General to-day upon the sub
ject of the foreclosures against the
Kansas Pacific Railroad. 1t has been
decided by the Department of Justice
that the government wall exercise the
power conferred upon the President by
the Act Of 1887 and redeem the claims
of the first mortgage bondholders upon
the western and middle divisions re-
spectively and become SrIbrogated un-
der THE law to their rights. This will
make the government the owner of both
the first and second liens upon these di-
visions Of the road. An application will
be made to Judge Sanborn at St. Louis
next Saturday for leave to redeem, for
a postp6nement Of the sales of THE road
which are now advertised to take place
on February 16, II, and IS, and for the
appointment of a receiver I'm the gov
ernment suit to operate the railroad for
the benefit of it's liens. The present re-
ceiverS are operating the road under the
suit Of the third mortgage bondholders
(commCnly called the consolidated mort
sage). BY this means it is expected that
the immediate saie of the property will
lbe deferred and that the government will
have more opportunity TO negotiate for
a Better price than has been offered by
the reorganization cOmmitte which now
controls the first mortgages, and IN the
meantime the benefits of the profitable
operation OF the road If it continues to
be prOhtably managed, viii under the
receiver appointed in the government
suit I've to the advantage Of the govern
ment by way of reduction of Cts claim.
Notices Of the application to be made
next Saturday have been served by tele-
gram upon the reorganization commit
tee and upon the counsel of the respec-
tive underlying mortgages Ample au-
thOgity for this action on the part of
the government in conferred by the act
of March 3. 1887, which provides that
whenever. in the opinion of the PreSi-
dent. it shall be deemed necessary to the
protection of the governments interest
in any of the bond-aided roads, the Sec
retary of the Treasury is required to re-
deem or otherwise clear off the para
mount lien or mortgage by paying the
sums lawfully due out OF the Treasury
The amount which will be necessary
TO pay the first lien holders in this case
is something over $8,U00000, the same
amount which the government would
have been compelled to pay them haa
it acquired title under the pending sale.
The situation of the government iS re-
garCied by Attorney General Griggs, who
advised the present course and other
leading officials are greatly improved
thereby, and it is row expected that
Judge Sanb0rn under the circumstances,
w:ll willingly consent to a postponement
of the sale for an indefinite period, or at
least to "a date sufficiently remote 10
allow the government ample time i'm
which TO dispose of its interests to the
best advantage.

ON the Upper Nile. where the French are
supposed to be operating, and are well
known to high government officials. AS
a matter of fact. the route adopted was
suggested by the chiefs of the Intelli-
gcnce Department of the War Office.
and the Foreign Office had the scheme
under considera ton or some weeks. The
force which will accompany Mr.. Caven-

of men which has ever entered Africa.
1t will take with it 100000 rounds of
ammunition and number Of seven'

be well provided against all surprises.

MORE FRIENDLY CALLS.
The FlOtilla and Il Merchant Ship are
About TO Cross the Atlantic.

Washington, Feb 5.-At the Spanish
legation no significance is attached TO
the sending of a merchant ship along
with the torpedo FlOtilla, which is about
to cross the Atlantic. 1t is said at the
legation that the sending of the torpedo
boats has been contemplated for a long
time and has been repeatedly announced
through the press. They are, however,
small craft to undertake the hardship
of an ocean voyage, and it is essential
that they be accompanied by larger
vessel to serve as transport for extra
supplies, particularly coal, which the
tiny craft cannot carry in sufficient
quantities for a long voyage. The mer-
chant vessel will serve merely as n trans
port She belongs to merchant COM
pany having large number of ships, So
that one OF them can be readily spared
for this service. All of these ships be-
long to the auxiliary Navy and are sub
iect to call at any time The one now
being brought into service is a small af-
fair by no means formidable and useful
mainly for carrying supplies.

Washington, Feb. "a recount of the

mittee had begun work in silver vault

Martin, employed as Il laborer, was one
day discovered in the coal and wood
basement under suspicious circumstances
and search resulted in the finding Of
number of silver dollars which, pre-
sumably, he had distracted from some
of the bags. Martin was arrested and
made a confession, admitting that he
had taken twenty eight dollars, for
which he had substituted lead. The
court imposed a fine of $40, and Martin
was released. This Admission cast sus-
piciOn upon the entire contents of the

FIVE months, the counters working eight
hours each day. The shortage of $500
will be made good by Mr.. Morgan. the

that Congress will make an appropria-
