New Yong, April 28.—The inquisition into the working and financial management of all the rail- Toads that have received aid from the Government in bonds was resumed to-day by the Commission appointed by President Cleveland. Ex-Gov. Patti. on presided and Commissioner E. Ellery Ander. son acted as Inquisitor. Charles Francis Adams occupied the witness’ chair. Commissioner David Littler was not present, having had to return to his duties as a member of the Tilinois legislature, Mr. Adams said he had been president of’ the Union Pacific road three years, and knew a great deal of the road and its manage- ment and workings during his presidency, Dut knew almost nothing about it prior to that time. It Was not his business to look into the history of the roads, but to post himself on the consolidated road, He had heard vague stories that Directors Gould, Dillon, and Ames. had so conducted affairs that they were in debt to the company. Mr. Adams had in’ ted these c! ut he was not permitted to state his conclusions. Mr. Adams looked into the Nevada, the Omaha Valley, and all of the branches “of the Union. "Pacific. It Wasa general examination. ach of them had a separate tion. ‘The Union Pacific, con~ soll is composed of the Kansas Pacific, the Denver Pacific and the old Union Pacific. ” Mr. Adams thought the charter of the Union Pacific, consolidated, very narrow. He didn’t, suppose the road proper‘had the power to build a mile of branch track under that charter. Mr. Adams 1s Supposed to be president, of all the branches. The accounts of the branches are keptin Omaha and in Boston. For a transcript of the books, Mr. Adams said, the Commission would have t see Commissionér Mink, who knew all about it. Mr. Adams had never looked tnto a book, He relted implicitly on Mr. Mink. Mr. Adams examined the affairs of the Denver and South Park. It was Duilt_by Governor Evans, of Colorado, in 1882. or 1883, and sold it—150 miles to the Union Pa- cific. Gov, Evans had had no connection with the Union Pacific. Did not know whether the con- struction-books had been tranfserred to the Union Pacific, It was before his time. Mr. Mink could tell; “he was present, and Mr. Adams looked for the comptroller. Mr. Adams had heard who made the bargain transferring Gov. Evans’ road to the Union Pacific, but didn’t know Ihe oT end, Ss Sls at ie the ion of the road, and: Mr. closing the purchase for the road. Prices were much ‘inflated in Colorado at this time, and the Stock in the road was turned over at an extrava- gant price, as it turned out soon after, COLORADO PRACTICALLY COLLAPSING. ‘The Evans road was built to satisfy the famous mining boom,and carried men and tools to thes! where ho.es had been dug im the ground and called mines. “When the boom collapsed, as any one knows it did,” sata Mr. Adams, “the road collapsed. At has lost money every year since. I ought to say, In justice to the men who purchased tne road, that before the bargain had been completed they WERE OFFERED BY GEN. PALMER $150,000 FOR THE BARGAIN. Istate this on the word of Mr. Ames. ‘The net loss in operating the road last. year was $60,000. It gets its business from travel to and from the mines. ‘The ups and downs in Colorado are such that Ido not think the future of this branch is hopeless. If they struck a good mine, ora new mining country, or new minerul discoveries, it economy glorifes itself hardly exists It surely the church’s office to protect the to protect their labor, wi human commonwealth.

After the roll-call the bishop called attention to the Presence of J. H. Murray, agent of the Book De- Posttory of the Methodist Church.

Rev. C. W. Mossell in Teporting his missionary fund thought that the secretary of the missionary board did not report to the conference as fully as e should. Bishop Shorter sald that this was @ mistake. He ‘that the operations of the board had been very successful. ‘Heremarked that there had been some contro’ between Mr. Mossell and the authorities of the Wilberforce University in relation to moneys sent, and criticised Mr. Mossell for some remarks hé had made wyile in Philadelphia, ‘The bishop said that the church ‘was doing a grand work in Hayt. RXAMINATIONS OF CHARACTER. ‘The reports having all been received the examl- Ration of the character of ministers was then Degun.

He had been in charge of the congregation for two years. “I am a two-years man,” observed the bishop, father signifcantiy. | “I think that when wé hese great men,” he went on pleasantly, “we ought to scatter’ them about and let thé other congregations have a chanca” HE WOULD GET MARRIED, In regard to another minister the presiding elder remarked that the congregation were very Tuch attached to him and his young wife. “Yes.” remarked the bishop, in a di tong,“ told him at the last conference married for four years, but it wasn’t four months before he was * ‘The conference and the young tninister laughed heartily at this apparent THE POTOMAO DISTRICT. Rev. Jas. A.

He Said that the Supreme Court was responsibie for Uhis state of affairs. He mentioned the Chief Jus- tice and Justice Bradley in this connection. SOUTHERN BISHOPS BLAMED. Rev. Mr, Mossell said that if names were to be mentioned he thought the bishops of the Episco- pal and M. E. churches in the South who favored ‘such laws ought justly to be placed in the same category. Bishop Turner completed his remarks, and Rev. ‘Mr. Mossel arose and said that he thought it was Ume that a list be made of those Who were hostile Ww the rights of the colored race. He was about, he said, to read a list of names of bishops of the Methodist Church South whom he thougat ought to goin thesame catalogue with some of the Su- preie court Justices. «The bishop interrupted him, and said that he did not consider that 1t was proper to introduce the names of clergymen at this Ue, as it had no bearing on the political characters which were now being considered, “Well, Bishop, I yield,” sald Mr. Mossel, and then he added that the Violation of their rights Was an every-day matter. When he reacned Centreville, Md., in the darkness and rain, not long ago, he Was denied the right to enter the stage. ‘A number of speeches were made, and then the resolutions were adopted. THE LATE HENRY WARD BEECHER. ‘Rev. Mr. Mossell said that there was a man into whose heart the love of liberty came not in the later years of his life, but he was sanctified from his birth. He moved that a committee be ap- pointed to draft resolutions expressive of their appreciation of the services of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher for human liberty. ‘One of the members suggested that perhaps ar. Beecher was not quite straight on religious joctrine. “He was all right and orthodox on the doc- trine of liberty,” calied out a brother, “and he Spoke for us when We could not speak for our- selves.” ‘The resolution to appoint the committee was then adopted. es STEALING FROM THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.— ‘This afternoon Detectives Wheeler and Mattingly arrested @ young man named Eugene Stetner Moh- lenburg on two charges of larceny and locked him up at the sixth precinct station. ‘The prisoner re- cently rented @ room at the house of W.
