The accounting officers Of the various
departments have been notified by L.
A. Coolidge, acting Secretary Of the
Treasury Department, that the debt OF
the Central Pacific and Western Pacific
railroad companies. on account OF sub
sidy bonds issued by the Government
in aid OF the construction Of the roads.
has been paid in full.
Hereafter compensation for transpOr-
tation services rendered By the com
panies is 70 be paid TO them direct in
stead of being charged against their
Indebtedness TO the Government
The Government entered INTO a settle
ment agreement with tie two com
panies on February /, 1889. by which
the entire debt, principal and interest,
SIS. So, us, was secured 10 tho United
States by twenty semi-annual notes OF
s. $40 SIS. rs each. bearing interest at the
rate Of per cent per annum. All
Of the notes have now been paid.
There is a feeling OF great relief
among the officials az the closing OF
these accounts vita the companies.
They have given the departments more
trouble in the matter Of making settle
ments. II is declared, than all the Treas
ury Department rules combined. owing

them
Employees Of the Government IN the
field, travelling on official business would
often find themselves without Govern
ment transportation requests and would
be compelled TO pay cash fares. Cndef
the law reimbursement could not DC
made TO these employees by the Govern
ment and they would have 10 look 10
the railroad companies for a refund OF
the amount, which required endless
correspondence and long delay III
many cases the employees are said 10
have suffered the loss rather than en-
deavor to secure the refund
The Treasury Department has noti-
fed the various Assistant United states
Treasures that half OF the $4,000 APP
propriated for the present fiscal year for
the prepayment Of charges on frae'
tional silver shipped, has been con-
sumed in sending the money by regis
tered mail as ordered by the depart
ment. and that the former practice OF
/ shipping by express will be immediate
| ~ resumed.
Quite a lesson has been drawn from
! the experiment made by the department
| 10 ship fractional silver BY registered
mail. The new order was in force about
thirty days, during which time through
I ont the country 10000 Ws-s used up IOI
/ this purpose. Now II is eXpecued that
/ the remaining $4,000 viii be sufficient
/ to cover the expenses Of shipping money
! by express during the balance OF tnC
| fiscal year, or eleven months.
/ The figures explaining this state OF
affairs are interesting. For instance. j
costs $3.50 10 ship by registered mai
81 90 in fractional silver within RADIUS
Of ope hundred miles BY express y
costs the Government just 80 cents PEI
81 600 to ship the fractional within me
0ne-hundred- mile radius. thereby making
q sa-ing OF $3.50 on each $lsOo worth

WILL NOT EXTEND TIME.
Governor Ansel Thinks the People
do not Need Postponement of
Time to Pay Taxes.

Gov. Ansel will not extend the time
for the payment Of taxes, says a
Columbia dispatch to the Greenville
News. The governor after eonsulta-
ton today with Comptroller General
Jones came to the conclusion that
there is 10 necessity for the exten-
sion, since the penalty for the first
month is very light, only one per
cent, and since also the state needs
money badly at this time to meet It's
own obligations. If the general as
sembly considers that any assistance
/; to the taxpayers is needed, it can be
rendered by the remission Of the ole
per cent penalty for the month OF
. January. which will amount to the
extension of the time for that period.
Comptroller General Jones stated on
Monday that he saw no necessity for
any extension and that the penalty
aad been made light by the general
assembly in order that there might be
no demand for such action.
The tax money was coming IN
more freely to the Offices of the state
treasurer on Monday. The morning
mail brought re1nittanees to the
amount of $4,000. Saturday about
$SO,0OO was sent in, making $l20,O00
within the last two business days.
But this is not enough, and the state
is still hard up. The state is obliged
to pay. out $240.000 tomorrow and
next day and it was seen last week
that there would not be funds on
hand to meet these obligations. Ae-
cordi1glv State Treasurer Jennings
was called back from his Christmas
trip to his old home in Fairfield and
the governor decided that it would be
well to renew a note for $4,000,
which was done. The note was ex-
tended for 20 days, with the pri-
vilege Of further extension It need
ed. The state will within few
DAYS after the first day Of the year
have sufficient money to meet all its
obligations, but as the tax remit
tances nave been slow it was impos-
sible to get the money to New York
in time to meet the notes due on the
31st of this month.
On the first of January there is
about $4,000 interest due and there
were notes for $4,000 due on the
31st of December, making obligations
to tne amount Of $240,O0O due the
next two days, in addition to cur
rent expenses Of the government.

NO FAIR AT CANON THIS YEAR.

While it is generally known among
the people of Canon City that no
fair will be held here this year it is
not 90 we'll understood abroad, indeed,
ieveral of the newspapers of the
Askansas valley are publishing from
week to week the date of the Fre-
mont county fair in list Of similar
events to take place in the southern
portion of the state
The wisdom, or unwisdom of hold
ing fair in Canon City this year we
will not discuss at this time; that
matter was determined by the board
of directors of the fair association
after thorough canvass of the sub
ject. Fremont county and the Canon
City district will be large exhibitors
at the state fair in Pueblo next
month, and, as usual. expects to carry
away lot of blue ribbons. One
ma. we know of sent no fewer than
six varieties of plums to Pueblo on
Monday to be placed in cold storage
and kept for exhibition at the state
fair, and many displays of apples
and other fruits will go down later.

and maintainence of better roads.
Third, to advise and aid in every
possible way in the expenditure of
monies raised for the purpose of
building roads.
Ex-Governor Alva Adams is most
ardent supporter of the movement.
In a recent address he said in part:
"The American is a wasteful ami
nal. He saves dime and loses
dollar. In all other matters no
farm is so remote that it has not
been invaded by new ideas. Go
where you will, you will find new
met hods, new machinery; only in the
matter of road building do we seem
to be asleep. If the people could at
once be confronted with the aggre-
gate of the m-ney waste of bad roads
there would be panic. The condi =
tion of highways is fair test of
civilization. Savages and babar-
ans pay no road tax. Those who
hunt for a living and live in tents.
/, build no cities. Good roads are the
rails upon which the cars of civiliza.
tion are run They lead to the school
house, the church, the home-never
to the tepee They bring people
together, tho better acquainted we
are the stronger we grow. Good
roads promote commerce and trade
and they are the agents of unity,
friendship and power. People trade
where they can go with tho least
trouble Where great roadways cross.

In the last few years much has been

as other sections there has been much
progress made. The steady and
gradual betterment of all roads is
noticed generally. The growing SON.

of the work is marked.
In part this has been brought about
by the increased use of the automo-

the question by the press, particularly

PLANS FOR SETTLEMENT OF
TRACTION TROUBLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star
CLEVELAND. Ohio. May 23-Complete
plans for the settlement of the street rail-
tail with the selection of the third arbi-
traitor. have been thrown into the air by
the announcement that the third arbitra-
tor would be unable to act. Impaired
health and absence from the city is the
reason for the declinat:on to serve. An
other conference today. at which an at
tempt will be made To select another ar
bitratOr, was at once agreed to-
In the meantime peace negotiations are
largely at a standstill. The announce
ment is made. however that the union
men viii vote today on the terms o: the
arbitration agreement As planned yeSter-
day. Strike leaders express doubt about
the men accepting the terms Of arbitra-
ton.
For the first time since the inauguration
of the strike there was little or no vio-
lence last night. Violence was not in evi.
dence anywlere. Several rumors of ex-
p!os ions were circulated but they proved
To be groundless. Besides the vigilant
scrutiny for dynamite caps or torpedoes
tn night cars were equipped with brushes
which swept the rails clean before the
wheels passed over. Several places where
dynamite was known to be concealed were
visited by police and deputy sheriffs and
the explosives seized.
\ great many men are being broken in
this morning. and the strikers who have
to stand by and see it done are uneasy
unless they lose their places altogether
Nothing near the regular service is in
progress. however and cars are so lam
med that conductors cannot get through
them to collect ares
