Statement of McCune

Mr.. McCune was last evening in
terviewed for the Tribune concerning
the statement, and he replied en-
phatically that there was nothing in
1t. Neither the Short Line nor the
Union Pacific has anything to do with
the Utah & Pacific, nor have Over
lures been made in any shape or form
toward buying out the road, "he said
"ln the original contract between
the Oregon Short Line and the Utah
q Pacific the former agreed to fur
nish the steel and equipment, for
which Utah Il Pacific bonds were to
be given in payment ga ninety
year-traffic contract was also entered
into between the two companies, but
the Union Pacific does not figure in
the contract in any way, nor have
there been any changes made since
that time.
"The Utah Il Pacific will be main
tanned as an independent road.
Every cent will be paid by the local
builders. W. l.. Hoge and myself
represent one-half the interest, and
David Eccles of Ogden and his asso-
ciates represent the other half. This
company is putting up cash for all
the work, and the only interest the
Oregon Short Line has is in it's hold
ings of bonds or stock issued by the
Utah Il Pacific. The Union Pacific is
notinterested in the matter at all, ex.
cept through it's interest in the Ore
gon Short Line
When Mr.. McCune was asked if it
was true that the road was to be
pushed through to California, he re-
piled; cit will never stop at Stateline,
but when it is built on the local pro-
moters will push it. Not only that,
but we intend to get the branch to-
Cedar under way as soon as possible,
for it is necessary for the road to have
its own coal supply, and the devel-
opment of the iron will pay hand
somely."

tinental line passing directly through
Salt Lake City, and in addition to
the glimpse it affords of the Temple

Valleys, it offers the choice of three
distinct routes through the noun

Col. Bryan again Interviewed on the
Question of EXPANSION.


Omaha, Dec. 28.-W. j. BRYAN ar.
rived in Omaha today from Chicago.
He called on friends in the city dur
fag the morning and this afternoon
left for Lincoln.
When asked if he thought the
question of imperialism would over
shadow the money issue in the cam
paign of 1900, Mr.. Bryan said it was
difficult at this time to tell what rela-
ton these subjects would bear to
each other then. He thought if Con-
gress would adopt resolution pIedr
ing this Government to hold the
Philippines only as trust for their
people as we do Cuba, until stable
Government is established, the ex-
pansion issue would be at an end. If.
however, the question is not settled
In some such way as this, he said it
would continue to be matter of dis
cussion until it was disposed of, and
would therefore remain one of the
issues before the people.
With Porto Rico, Mr.. Bryan said,
the sitnation could be simplifed easi-
ly. He believed the people of the is
land should first be permitted to
vote as to whether they desired an
nexation or the formation of an in
dependent republic.

The Philippine Policy.

A prominent Republican close to
the President last night outlined the
policy to be adopted by the Admin
istration toward the Philippines, as
follows:
First, while the products of Por-
to Rico and Hawaii are to come in
free, the products of the Philippines
must pay the Dingley tariff duty.
We are to trade with them on the
same basis as the rest of the world.
Second, the open door policy
will not affect the customs dues be-
tween the United States and the
Philippine Islands. To make them
self-snpporting, the Philippine tar
if schedule will require this country
to pay its share of customs duties.
"Third, the United States is to
take the Filipinos under it's care, to
teach them the principles of republi-
can institutions, instill into them
love of liberty and free institutions.
Fourth, to help them to know
ledge of self-government, and while
military rule must be maintained
until other laws are made, to place
the island government on self-sus-
tanning, paying basis.
Beyond this the Administration
has not gone, but it has given the
question of expansion thoughtful
care. "-Ex.

tors and members who refused to
take part in senatorial caucus un-
til Senator Quay is acquitted of the
conspiracy charges pending against

Quilted, was made and signed by the
forty-three senator's and members

A steering committee of twenty
was appointed. The organization will

The official statement of Representa-
tive Joseph G.. Cannon of Illinois, the
chairman of the house appropriation
committee, summing up the approprla-
tions of the Both congress, just closed,
shows an aggregate appropriation by
the entire congress of $1,566,89O, 0l6
and for the session just closed a total
of 1878, 658, 400, with authority for con-
tracts subject to future appropriations
amounting to $70,000,O00. Chairman
Cannon's statement follows:
'"The appropriations amount approx
imately to $673, 1858, 400 and show an ap-
parent reduction of $219,573,000 under
the appropriations made at the preced-
ing session. This is attributable to
the large expenses occasioned by the
war with Spain that were provided for
during the preceding session. The
entire appropriations maze aggregate
$1,566, 89O,O16. %. Of this sum $780,
562,O83 AZ is directly chargeable to our
late war with Spain or incident there
to. Deducting this charge from the
whole amount of the appropriations

resents the ordinary or normal appro-
priations made. The appropriations
made by the preceding congress
amounted to $1,O44, 1902 81. A COM
parison shows an increase in ordinary
appropriations MADE by this congress
over those made by that Of $39,747,0O0,
but this apparent increase in more
than accounted for by increases under
eight items alone-namely, for pen
sions $4,OOO,000; for the postal sery-
ice, 16,000,000; for rivers and harbors,
including work under contracts pre-
viously authorized, $3,600,000; for new
ships for the navy, $6,000,000; for be-
ginning the work of the twelfth cen
sus, $1,0O0,O00; for the Paris exposi-
ton, $1,2O0,OO0; for new public build
ings, including the building for the de-
partment of justice and for site and
partial construction of the new gov
eminent printing Office, about $5,000,-
900, and for payment of judgments rem
dered against the government on ac-
count of French spoliations and under
the Bowman act, $3,100,000. These
very natural and necessary increases
in public expenditures, on account of
the pension list, the growth of the
postal service in response to the de-
mands of commerce, the improvement
of the great waterways Of the country
