R, Coudert and J. W, Doane Appointed with the Specia the G Unton Rights in A ernment's Pacific General John C. Cowin, of special counsel for the United States, acting on behalf of the attorney general, made a motion in the federal court yesterday for the appoint- men' of two additional receivers for the Union Pacific. By stipulation with the rail- road company F. R. Coudert and J. W. Doane were designated for appointment, and the request was granted by Judge Dundy. The petition, signed by Attorney Giene Olney, and by George Hoadley and General Cowin of special counsel, is a full statement of the government's interests in the case. It recites that under the act for the con- struction of the road the secretary of the treasury issued subsidy bonds of the United States to the Union Pacitic Railroad com- pany the total sum of 6, ud to the Kansas Pacific Railroad company in the total sum of ¥6,308.000, together muking bonds for the following total sums issued at the following da exclusive of interest: November 1, 1865, $640,000; January 1, 1886, £1.440,000; Ja ¢ 1. 1866, $4.520,000; 1 0,040,000 Jany 2,612: January 1, 1860, £3,15] gereand total of 53,599,513, ow the Bonds Were Earned. To provide for repayment of the amount of the bonds with interest at 6 per cent it was provided that their issue should coustitute a first mortgage on the whole line of the railroad and telegraph and property of every kind. Another section of the act provided that the companies snould transmiv telegraphic dis- patches und transport mails, troops, war supplies and stores upon these roads for a reasonnble compensation and that all compensation for services rendered should be applied to the payment of bonds and interest until the whole amount was paid, and that after the completion of the road, until the payment of the bonds and interest, at least 5 per cent of the net earn- 1ngs of the road should unnually be applied in the payment thereof. It is alleged that the amount of credits under this provision was on Junc 50, 1803, more than §18,000,000. Under an endment to the act, July 2, 1864, it was provided that the railroad com- panies might respectively issue their first mortgage ot 0 their respective railroad and telegraph lines to amounts not exceed- ing the amount of the said bondsof the United States, and of even tenor and date, time and maturity, rate and character of in- terest, with the said bonds autnorized to be issued to said railroad companies respect- ively, ana tl the lien of the said United States bonds should be subordinate 1o that of the bonds of any or either of said com- panies authorized to be issued on their re- spective roads, proverty and equipments “except s to the provisions of the sixth sec tion" of the act of July 1, 1862, “relating to the transmission of dispawcnes and the transportation of mails, troops, munitions of war, supplies and public stores for the gov- ernment of the United States.” Under the act and its amendments the Joion Pacific built a line from Council Bluffs to Ogden, the Kansas Pacitic, a line from Kunsas City to Denver. and the Den- ver Pacific. a line from Denver to Cheyenne. First Mortgage Bonds. ‘The amount of first mortgage bonds that have been issued ana to which the lien of the United States is subordinate is placed ‘at $27,290,000, intorest on which has been paid. By an act of congress, May 7, 1878, amend- atory of the original uct, it was provided, among other things, that a sinkiog fund should be created for the further security of the payment and reimbursement of tho said subsidy bonds 1ssued by the United States in aid of said road companies by the reservation in the treasury of the United States of certain sums of money, which sums so covered into the treasury amountea on June 80, 1803, to a large amount, which had before that time been invested and were then and are now held as follows: Union Pacific Railway company sinking fund June 50, 1803 United States currency 6's, .

On the 24th of January, 1880, the Union acific, the KKansas Pacific and the Denver cific consolidated under the name of the nion Pacific, which owned and operated the lines of all, und later became interested in the operation of other railroads. the totat mileage of which amounted to 7,681 miles ut the time the receivers were appointed; and the allegation is made that the nature and gxtent of the claims and liens agaiust this roperty, both beforo and after consolida- fon, are 5o extonsive and complex, existing in 8o many states and territorics and gov- éroed by sueh diverse laws, that they cannot be determived as to extent and priovity without an investigation requiring much delay and the labor of ex- . perts, bul the attorney general avers that of the dobts uccruing to the United States on account of udvunces of subsidy bonds the No- principal sums will mature as follows: vember 1, 1805, §1,440,000: Febru; January 1807, 1, ibus, | $17.84 January 1800, ®L157,000; total §33,580.512; that interest thereon will at said dates be yable at the rate of 150 per cent to the nited States, such interest being the sum of $00,571,121.60, making the total sum, of wnrlpm and interest, the sum of §93.010,- 3.0, less the sums which may be credited thereon by reason of said payments or cred- its mado under the sixth section of the uc! of July 1, 1865, or otherwise, aud less what- ever amount may bo realized for and out of the suid sinking fund, as it may exist and be constituted at the time of the respective maturities of said debts, and thav said debts and interest, less said crodits and sinking fund, now amount, at the preseny value of saia sinking fund. tomore than 55,000,000, and are se- eured by thoe first lien upon all the property, reul, porsonal und mixed, choses in action, mssets, income and franchises of the Union g subject to the suid prior morteage lien hereinbeforo described, amounting to $27,229,000, and subject also to nuy pavawount lawful prior right, title or lien upon any property wf said compavy which may have beon croated before and exisied at the time proverty by ion Pacifie Railroad company. the Paciic Railway company, the Den- ver cific Railway and Telegraph company, or the Uniou Pacifio Railway company. and subject further toany use or disposition _ which may have been wade by said Union Pucific Railway company of any of its prop- certy or assots in the ordinary proper and «dawful course of its current b siness in good aud for valuable consideration. o Goverawment Not Notitied. 1t is further alleged that at the time of the of the bill of complaiut the Union Pa- ‘company was goverued by its board of rectors, its president, S. H. H. Clark, be- ohu-sed with the duty of g road, its second i nd oo E:mn nOliver W. Miok, being its " 1 financial officer, and thut at tnis wias @ vacancy in the oftice of government director, there being but four ‘scting government directors out of the five : 'b‘nu to be lprolnh‘ the president, ~ and thet these four gen were itz Hugh Lo of the state of Virginis, sald E. Ellery Andorson of the state of New York John W. Donue of_the state of Tilinols and Joseph W. Paddock of the state of Nobrasks; that said bill was filed without any notice to or the knowledge of any officer of the United States, or of any of the said government di- rectors, although said Paddock resides in the eity of Omaha, in the state of Nebraska, where said bill was filed ; that no notice was given t any other director of said Union Pacific Rallroad company except those who co-operated in filing the same; that no meeting of the board of directors was held and no action was taken or had by the board of directors in_anticipation of or after the filug of said bill in approval thereof. That under the foregoing circum- stances the said S, H. H. Clark, then acting as president of the said company, and Oliver W, Mink, then acting as its second vice president and comptroller, an lery Anderson, who had been a member of said commission. and was at the timea government di tor, wore appointed as re- ceivers, all without consultation with ana without notice to saia Anderson until after his appointment. More Reecetvors Neodod. The attorney general then expresses his opinion that the protection of the interests of the United States aud of all othor cred- itors of the Union Pacific requires an in- creaso in the number of receivers already appointed, the present number being insuf- ficient for the performance of the great and serious duties imposed upon them and will not inspire that public confidence that a larger number would secure: that the lien of the United States is by far the largest beld by uny single person ot corporation and calis for thie proteetion of impartial vors selected for that purpose, and their associa- tion with the recei 0 have been nom- inated und whoss and interests (ex- in unison with cept of Anderson) of the complainants. 1t is alleged that the first mortzage upon the property to which the lien of the United States was expressly subordinated by the act of 1964 is amply secured and that the railro and the receivers acting i no difficulvy in providing for I rost thereon out of the earn- ings of the railways and telegraph lines, aad that if the property embraced in said mortgage be exposed to sale the same will realize more than enough to pay said lien; that the nature and extent of the lien of the United States is the subject of controversy, especially a8 respects the nature and extent of the property covered by it, and that the reorganization of the railways is necessary for its protection aud to save to the people of the United Statesas large a portion of the great sum involved as possible; that it is a matter of grave doubt how far conuracts made by said railway companies in the pist for connections and oranches and how far the guarantees of the rent of leased and con- nectings lines are in law valid, and, if valid, whetber the continuance in existence of some of them as against other and conflic ing liens, and especially as agail the superior liens of the United States, is wise and desirable; that it may prove to be the fact that those some of sul agreements and contracts are valid and val- uable, and that their contin uance will benefit the property and enhance the valuo of the lien of the United States, while others may be shown to be detri- mental, and_ought to be terminated at the earliest possible dute; that the entire time of av least one of the receivers must nec- ossarily be given to the oper voad, and of another to 1ts finan and adjustments, and that. without an en- largement of the number of receivers, the information and_advice and effcient service to which the United States and all other creditors are entitled cannot reasonaoly be looked for. Income of the Road, And the attorney general for the United States further represents to the court that the income of the property confided to the control of receivers herein amounted from the operation of the lines of railroad of the Union Pacific railway company alone, auring. the year 1802, to more than §20,000,000 and ~ the mcme of the suid leased brauch and connecting lines during the year 1882 amounted to the additional sum or more than #23,000,000; that the personal property owned by said consolidated com- pany, and by said branch, leased and con- necting railroads, in the form of equipment, choses in action, ete., is of very great value: that the value’ and extent of the property embraced in the said trust craated in favor of Drexel, Morgan & Co. as trustees of the said indenture of Septem- ber 4. 1891, and the amount of the debts se- cured thereby, as shown by the bill of com- plaint tiled in this cause, are very great, and the interests of the United States in the preservation, care and proper application of such income, personal property and choses in action, and in the repair snd maintenance aid ratlway ave very great, and are liable criously impaived and diminished by the course of the administration of said receivership, if the same should not be providently and wisely conducted. Wherefore, and to the end that the said property may, pending the forcclosure and sale or reorgauization, be managed to the bost interests of the United States of Auwel well as of other creditors and s, and to the end that the best advice and judgment accessible te the court may not only bo had in its operation, but as to the continuance of existing contracts, n by resson of the said re vership may require for their cuforcement licial aid, and 10 the true principles and methods of re ganization, and for the protection of all in- terests in the property, the attorney general for the United States respectfully requests the court Lo appoint two receivers, in addi- tion to, but with with equal powers to those already heretofore appointed, who shall us- sist tho three receivers now in office i per- forming their grave and responsible duties, aud the attorney, general prays for such other and further relief as under the fore- going facts and circumstances the United Stutes may be entitled to. AT HEADQUARTERS, Unlon Pacific OMciats Prepared for the Ap- potntment of Additional Receivers, The appointment of additional receivers for the Union Puacific was the only thing talked about at headquarters yesterdany, the officials accepting the turn affairs had taken with becoming grace, but secretly wondering what next would make its ap- pearance on the carpet o fret and worry them. By the new arrangement the law depart- ment is overrun with business, the clerks being kept at work longafter working hour making now orders, stipulations and othe legalapers to cover ail the phases of the situation. All the rubber stamps that have been provided for the hundreds of people who use Lhat vecessary adjuuct to their business will have to ba changed by the addition of a story attichment, and the suggesti made that a new office, that of supe dent of rubber stamps, be created to meet the demands for that instrument. The uppointment. of Messrs, Doane and Coudert will uot in any wise change the ex- isting condition of affuirs at headqoarters, Mr. Clark continuing in chavge of the oper- ating deparement of the systen, assisted by General Manager Dickinson, while M, Mink will have,us now, charge of the audit- ing department, Mr. Clark was at his ofice quite early yes- terday und at once begun o clear his desk of the business which bad accumulated dur- ing his absence, But when it came to an interview My, Olark had nothing 1o say for publication, stating that all had been said that could be said regarding the appoint- ment of addicional receivers. The avpolntment, it was learned from competent authority, was au amicable ar- rangement, the receivers being willing to enter into any agreement that would pro- tect the interests ot the government and bondholders at the same time. The action of the court this morning insures a continuance of the same wise pelicy that has heretofore obtained in the management of the road, which will be good news to the thousunds of employes who have served under Mr. Clark for years. Qouldu't Stop the Foreclosure, WasuiNgron, Nov. 18.—The suit of Arr and others against the Houston & Texas Ceatral Railway company, being an attempy on the part of the stockholders to stop fore- closure proceedings on the road, was dis- missed by the United States supreme cours today for waut of jurisdiction.

Mr. Vaile of Wolcott & Vaile ap peared for the United States attorney gen- eral in behalf of the government. ‘The suit is brought by ex-Goyernor Kvans and the other stockholders of the road to compel maintenance and operation of the road entirely separate from the Union P cific system and, ridentally, for the ap- pointment of receivers for that purpose. When the case came up today for trial Mr. Vaile asked for a bearing in the matter and then presented a petiti 1 States Attorney General Olney the government that the case be further postpened, for seversl days at least. The appointment at Omaha of two additional receivers of the Union Pacific to act in be- half of the government, he saio, made 1t necessary that the goverament should be represented in this case and timoe wus winted by the attorney general in which to decide upon what attitude to assume in order to best protect the interestof the goveraent. ¥ The counsel for the plaintiff opposed the postponement, because the —government already bad suficient time to propare its caso, and also because the defendant could have no possible interest in this case, except- ing such as could be properly protected by the proceedings at Omaha, ana those inter- ests demanded that the Denver, Pacific & Gulf railway should be operated independent of the Union Pacific. Judge Hallett ruled that the government should be properly represented 1n the suit and 8o should huve time to prepare for it. He therefore postponed the @nse until next Monday. Mr. Vaile, for the government, then pre- sented a petition for the appointmont of two receivers here in addition to those in the east. Judge Hallett granted the petition and ap- vointed J.
