CENTRAL PACIFIC NO MORE
Disappears from the Railway MAP
and stock is No Longer Quoted
on Stock Exchange.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Central Pacific
stock was not quoted on the Stock exchange
today and as far as the old company is con-
cerned has disappeared from the railway
map.
This is understood to be the outcome OF
the deal recently negotiated by Prince Poni-
atowski of San Francisco, whereby the
Crocker holdings in the Central company
we're transferred to Speyer Co. OF New
York, in turn to be transferred to the South
ern Pacific company.
The Southern Pacific company now owns
the stock of the new Central Pacific. The
bond issues Of the new Central Pacihc are
its own, but the bonds are guaranteed by
the Southern Pacific company.
Central Pacific stock, both common and
preferred, being pledged by the Southern
Pacific as collateral for its new per cent
bonds, has passed out of the range of invest
ment and speculation. The Central Pacific
has long been controlled by lease by the
Southern Pacific.

Comment ON the Beef Report.

The attempt of the Administration to
sacrifice General Miles to its political
necessities, through the report of the
Beef Court, will probably turn out TO be
something in the nature of boomerang.
If the sentiment Of the press be an accu-
rate reflection of public thought-and We
think it is-the findings of this wonderfully
constituted body will pass into history as
one Of the most remarkable in War De-
partment annals. Not that the public is
particularly interested in it. Nothing the
report could have contained would in the
slightest degree alter popular impress
sion as to the scandals of War Department
administration and the people really re-
sponsible for them.
Nearly all the leading New York papers.
for example, unite in condemning it rs a
document which will satisfy no honorable
mind and insinuate plainly that it was
prepared by a packed Commission. for the
specific purpose Of generating Algerism,
and in that has miserably failed. II facts
count for aught; If the credible testimony
of hundreds of people, including Colonel
Roosevelt, is entitled to the slightest re-
spect, then the document is an affront to
reason and an outrage to the moral con-
sciousness of the community.
There are no votes in it for the Admin
istration, and, as the journal says, lit
will not change the verdict of the public,
which is adverse to Alger. Eagan, and the
Beef Trust" Similarly the Baltimore
Sun" declares that, although the Court has
applied its whitewash with some dis
elimination, those who have read the
evidence will not be disposed to agree
with its conclusions.
How the Court could virtually give a
certificate of character TO the contractors
is question which fatigues understand
ing and paralyzes patience. OF course
former Commissary Eagan is mildly cen
sured. and inasmuch as a scapegoat Of
some degree of prominence had to be
chosen be was probably the easiest on
which to lay a hand
