RELIEF FOR PACIFIC ROADS, Judge p's Opinion of the Railroad Debt Extension Bill, VERY LITTLE OPPOSITION TO IT. Ahe Necessity of American Conti nental Travelers Providing Them- selyes With Passports—Na« tional Capital News, The Funding BilL WASHINGTON, Jan, 5.—[Special Te 1o the Bee, | —Congressn Crisp, of ( the member of the Pacilic railroad committ in charze of the billto refund and extend the indebtedness of the Pacifie railronds, that in his opinion but little it any opposi exists in the honse to the main proposition of refunding and extending the debtat a lower rateof interest; ihat whatever opposition does exIst originates in want of compreliension of the provisions of the bill and the facts and 1aw of the case, The supreme court has decided that the government must pay the entire in- terest up 1o the date of maturity of the bonds in 1587, and the government lien could not be enforced until tha time, which would require the payment of the first mortiage bonds amounting to 860,000,000, The existing conditions were in no' wise dis- turbed by the bill, save that the Government obtained additional security on branch lines upon which it now nolds nolien. The bill was & Broposition to the roads which if accepted relioved the government from paying ten more years Intetest at 6 per cent and meantiine increased its security, The mens- ure had been formulated at the interior departiment under the direction of Assistant Secretary Jenks, now solivitor general, and oue of the ablest’ lawyers of the country, with some view of protecting the interests of the government and the Pacitic railroads, T ommittee, upon carcful view of the law and equities ot the case, bad Toported the bill recommended by the g ernment officials, Judge Crisp felt war- ranted in making tnis statement because the pending bill had been absolutely ap- roved by Judge Thurman, author of the Mhurman and Senator McDonald, of Indiana, both of these gentlemen having been members of the senate judiciary com- mitteo which prepared the ~Thurnan act. Judge Crisp further said that possibly some memibers entertained various ideas as to ti best means of extending and refunding at a Tower rate of interost, but that matter was considered in Its special bearing of protec ing the government, The pending measure Was most complete, Lhere were undoubt- gdiv stock jobbine speculators opposing the bill, but they cared nothing for the govern- ment, What thoy wanted was to wreck the Paciiic roads and by impairing the wovern- ment security depreciate the slock. SHOULD BE PROVIDED W "OLTS, The secretary of state recoived a dis- pateh from Frederick Raine, United States consul gencral at Berlin, setting forth the annoyances to which Unifed States citizens visiting and especially Germany, Bubject t by neglecting to secure assports before leaving this country. Ber- in, Frankfort, Hamburg, Leipsic and other clties of the German empire are subjected to a so-called “small state of siege,” and every stranger or forelzner visiting these places 1s required to identify himself by producing a nssport. Ladiesare not excepted. Imue- lately after the arrival of a stranger the vpolice authorities deniand the production of & passport, and it he i not provided with one he 'must either procure one the necarest United Stales lezation or eubmit to annoyances if not a permptory order to leave. No stranger can enter the' dominions of the Russian empire Without a passport, while in several places of Austria, llnP{, ete., similar probibitory moas ures are enforced. Americans visitiug the continent of Europe will do well to provide themselves with passporis. Students desir- Ing to enter German unlversities can be matriculated only upon producing passports, The latter are retained by the authoritics ot the universities and a ticket of protection or university membership issied. ” After such mombership s the passport is returned to its owner, INTER-STATE COMMERCE IN TIIT SENAT! In the senate to-day the inter-state com- merco bill wasup for discussion again and the time occupied by Senator Plaite, who 8poke very vigorously acainst the pa-sage of the bill in its present form, While the oppo- sition that has been manifested to this meas- ure does not seem o diminish In the least, there iy very little doubt about its tinal pas- sage. It s probablo that it will be ucted upon in the house justas it came fromn the com- mittee of coniterence in spite of the predic- tions of Senator Cullom, made In theso dis- patches, “that the bill ' was likely to be amended. It seems that under the ruies a conference committee report cannot be amended by either house. 1t must be adopted either in it5 entirety or rejected and a new conferenco ordered. There is scarcely a genutor who is entirely satistied with the mieasure as it came from the conference committes, The objections seem to ariso ally from the fuct that there is, as one very tersely put it to-day. too much Reagan in it, but on the other hind there is such a demand, especially in the west and south, for congressional action towards the reculation of inter-state commierce, that somcthing must be done, and sanators, es- peclally thoso whose terms wiil expire on' the th of Mareh, dare not vote acainst it. In the house, too, the same feeling prevails, Althouzh the Reagan bill passed by a big niajority, there are a great many niembers Who bolieve it will be tar uiore detiimental to the interest of their constituents than its benefit will be able to balunce, One member from lows, in discussing the subject to.day, said: I think tho bill will prove far mord onerous upon the farmers of 1o: ) upon the railrouds of the state. 1t is oasy to see how the long and short haul clause will act. “£he railroads certalnly will not reduce their haul charges to the pro rata fignres of the long haul; and in consequence the short haul charges will be the basis upon which all charges will bs arranged in the future if this bill becomes a law, put it would be political Ruicide for a member 1o oppose this measure, Since the United States supreme court Lias decided that the etates cannot interfore by local engctwents with charses for carrylug froight from one state to another the dewand for congressional regulation of the inter- state traffic has become imperative, and there is nothing leit for us to do but to yote for the bill.” "It seems to be the general im- pression that the weasurs will be finally azrecd to, and sent to the presigent by the latter part of the month, b ERADICATING PLEULO-P .

Archibald, Henry I1.. Rogers, Ambrose Me- Gregor, Charles M. Everest and Hiram B, Lverest. District Attorney Quimby appeared for the people and Theodore Bacon for the Standard people. The general charce is that of couspiracy, including subornation of per- jury. The special charce is that the Stan- dard men employed Albert Mitler,superinten- dent of the lubricating works, to 8o construct their buildings that they could easily be de- stroyed by explosion; that Mitier, under their direction, did plan the explosion; that by prepared fires ie blew up one of the stills, aud believing his work to have been accom- plished, he took retuge in the Atlas Standard works; that he was taken by Hiram B. Ever- est to New York, Boston and San Franeisco, and was supported for a year and a half in idleness on a salary of 81,000 and expenses. Mitler s alleged to have confessed the fact to C, B, Matthews, president of the lubrieating com- pan An indictment was obtained for con- spiracy, but the Standard men demurred, and Ju Rauee sent the caso back to the court of sessions. The present indictment was found a year ago, and to this the Standard veople also demurred, and in April last it was argued before Justice Childs and the murrer was overruled by him. The defend- anuts then pleaded not guilty, Now they the sume justice to grant an order permi them to see the evidence submitted to the erand jury, and also to order the aistrict at torney to give them a bill of parti sof the charges against them, The former applica- tion has been made in many tamous cases- but Las rarely been granted. ‘The latter is common enough, Mr, Bacon referred to the indictment a “drag net affair” which would pe mit the people fo show everything they could draw out between now and the 0 the court gave the evidence to the iurv. e Standard ofl men, perhaps could not expect a fair trial, yet they lad e righits t ordinary de v demanded should be respected.

Matthews, not they, was the conspirator, ‘Ihie district attofney answering said the Standard managers had full information ot the charges during the trial of the civil action; that this biekering was arranged to force the statute limitations as a bar against proceed- ing, or to find some larger flaw in the indict- ment and so get the defendants diseharged.
