THE RECOMMENDATIONS MADE. Randall Saia to Be Preparing a Tariff Bill to Suit All Classes—No Further Reduction in Letter Postage., and the Government. WasmnGToN, N ~[Special Telegram to the Bik.)—The government directors of he Union Pacitic rallway have filed their annual report with the secretary of the in- terior, by whom it will be sent to congress. ‘The report contains little that is new ana in- teresting and the recommendations are but a reiteration of those that were made last year. They recommend the passage of the bill now pending in congress for the refunding of the indebtedness of the government and prefer that which was introduced by Mr. Hoar in the senate and Mr. Outhwaite in the house. ‘The directors discuss at length the various propositions that have been made for the set- Unfon Pacific tlement of the indebtedness to the govern- ment and ask for this legislation in order that the controversy that has been existing 80 long may be settled once and forever with- out future trouble for either congress or the courts, ‘The company under the Hoar bill would simply have to make its semi-annual payments or lose all its propel and the amount at risk by the government would grow less and the sccurity for its payment greater year by year. ‘The directors recom- mend that the period for the final payment be fixed at eighty, years instead of sixty years, as originally proposed in the Hoar bill, but suggests no furtner modifica* tion. This bill provides and directs The when it cost 5 cents to send & letter. Th moment that point is reached congress will begin taking steps for penny letter postage. 1 velieve it will first come at a penny for each halt ounce or fraction, and then’ for each ounce or fraction.” COMMITTEE WORK, There will be very little committee work in congress this winter. "The time is too short fo consider measures which have not already 1 noticed and reported by committees ated, however, that enough was mmittees at the last session to oc sntion of congress for a whole y¢ they were_taken up seriatim. Two-thirds of the committees in the house, it is said, will not have a recular meeting during the rest of this term, while not more than a dozen of them all Will fry to have any business re- ported by them disposed of on the floor of ihe honse. INTER-STATE COMMERCE LEGISLATION 1t seems to be preity well settled in the minds of senators anid members arrived lere from all parts of the country that an inter-state commerce bill of some charac- ter will be passed during the next cight s, Most of the statesmen who have n keeping run of the question say the measure will practically be the Cullom bill which places the 1eculation of common ea <in the hands of a commission. Jud; agan, of ‘Texas, whose bill making an bitrary law passed the house last winter h recently said that for the purpose of begin- ning the regulation he would accept the Cul- Tum bill, and this is a AT A compromise as the most, ardent, monop list can hope for. Culiom has fought the Reagan bill on the ground that it is not wise to place on the 2 irecting to the letter how fi on carrier shall £o without ascertain- ing something about the practical rezulation of it. In other words, he believes in feeling the way, instead of going thera at one leap. A_DEMOCRATIC DENIAL, Senator Voorhees and other prominent democrats say there is no fou il r the statement that there is a scheme on foot for their party to secure a majority by admitting Washington territory to statenood and thus secure two senators, through an understand- ing whereby bills for the admission of both Dakota and Washington have passed the senate and now await the action of the house. Itis true, they admit, that the democrats could take advantage of the republicans by getting control of the senate, but they dis- elaim any intention to do stch a dishonor- able act, as it was well understood at the the secretary of the treasury to ascertain the indebtedness to the government of the various subsidized railroad companies on the 1stof April next. It provides further that the railway companies shall issue bonds of, redemption to the secretary of the treasury ono of which shall mature every six months, and that each of them shall be for a sum cqual to the 100th part of the indebtedness of the railway company, with interest at the rate of 3 per cent. The company is authorized to anticipate the payment of these bonds of redemption. In case of the failure to pay any of the said redemption bonds it shall be secured and held by the president of the United States to make all the bonds due and payable at once, and it shall be the duty of the attorney general to take such steos as may be necessary to protect the interests of the United States and before the stipulation of the contract. ‘The directors recommend tnat in any new legislation the amount of the annual payment shall be a fixed sum, to be paid absolutely without regard to net earn- ings, gross earnings, or any contingency whatever. Under the existing law the annual payments of the company are made to depend upon the “net earnings,” which is a term so vague and indetinite that it will require a decision of a court to_deter- mine its meaning, ‘The dircctors also rec ommiend that when this change 1s made the restriction upon the final operations of the company intended to protect the annual net earnings shall be removed, so that the com- pany niay not be restrained thereby In the use of its credit, also urged as to the com- pany and to the United States, its_principal debtor, that congress shall pass & bill permit- ting the Union Pacific to oceupy adjoining territory with branches, so that it may not be left behind by its rivals and be deprived of important_connections, The lien of the government uvon thio property should be e tended, but under that condition the com- pany should be at liberty to develop and ex teud its system.
