THE OMAHA DAILY BEE FIFTEENTH YEAR, HERNDON HOUSE ACCOUNTS. Great Commotion Caused by Henley's Res- olution for Investigation, THE AIDED AND UNAIDED LINES. Cleveland Cordially Greets Edmunds ~Weaver ‘Worried About His Seat—Patents to Western Inventors—Notes, . Union Pacific Bookkeeping. WasmixatoN, March 9.—[Special Tele- gram.|—The resolution of Representative Henley, which was introduced in the house S a committee to investi- gate the Union Pacific Railway company in its relation to the government, is attracting a great deal of attention among the ofticers of the interior department, under whom the relations of the Pacific Ironds with the government directly come. Both Secretary Lamar and Assistant Secretary Jenks think that if the charges contained in the resolu- tion are in any material degree correct, the investigation proposed should certainly be inangurated without delay. The books and accounts of the Union Pacific company have been examined, and it has been found the system of keeping the accounts of the Kansas Pacific road, which is a part of the Union Pacitic, does not give an adequate approximation of the actual net earnings of its “aided” part, 5 per cent of which is due the government. The business ided” part is much in excess of that of the “unaided” part, but the accounts are stated as if they were equal, the net earnings of the entire roaa being divided into two parts in proportion to the length, thus giving the government much less than its due. Secretary Lamar recommends the road be made to render accounts which will show the actual earnings and expenses of the “‘aided’ part. Another violation of the law which the de- partment has discovered on the part of the Union Pacific is its connection with the Pa- cific Mail Steamship company, to which i’ has annually paid asubsidy in order to keep up the transcontinental pool and shut off competition in traflie. Prior to the passage of the Thurman act of 1878 the government was to receive 5 per cent of that subsidy, if it was a subsidy, and nothing of it was in the nature of o lease. For a number of years prior to 1878 it is claimed it was a subsidy, After the passage of the Thurman act the government was to receive 25 per cent of such subsidy. It is claimed by the interior department there is owing to the government on this account from the Union Pacific be- tween $700,000 and $600,000, Seeretary Lamar recommended to Secretary Manning that he proceed to collect the sum. Henley said to-night they simply rehearsed the popular expression and beliet as to the i ula) in the relations of the Union Pacific with the government. The subject was one demanding full and prompt investi- gation, and he would appear for the commit- tee to-morrow to present the subject. For the resent the resolutions set forth all he cares tosay in reference to the matter. They speak for themselves and fet forth what he Dbelieves can be readily sustained. Mr. Josephs of New Mexico, said: ““The move to create a special committee toinvesti- gate the dealings of the Union Pacific ra oulcome of the dissatisfaction of the western people over the manag railways and their grasping nature, vestigation isa move in the right dire and may develop some startling facts.” Mr. Holmes of Iowa, said: *“The resolution is creating considerable comment among the people interested in Union Pacific matters, The powers to be vested in the proposed com- 'y searching, and no doubt ) mittee will be v will reveal some SOCIALLY AT PEACE. The sensation of the pre ent’s reception to-night was Senator Edmund’s appearance and the cordi president, Senator Edmunds atracted un- usual attention because he entered at the wrong door to the blue room and had to pass the line of ladics. He, however, marched dircetly up to the president, and, aft senting his wife, grasped Cleveland’s hand. “Pho president returned the grip of the sena- tor in an extremely cordial manner, and did notscem in the least talen aback. Clevi land stopped Edmunds and tallced with him: for a moment or two. Just before Edmunds moved on, Cleveland said something that 2d- pproached Miss Cleveland she shook made them both laugh he munds her finger jokingly at him, but grasped botiu his and his wite's hands corc rtily.
