—_— VOLUME LXXIX.—NO. 63. MAGUIRE THROWS HEDHOT SHOT, Methods of the Southern Pacific - Company Exposed. OPPOSED TO REFUNDING. Such a Proceeding Would Cause an Increase of Rates and Diversion of Traffic, A PLOT BEHIND THE SCHEME. In Ten Years Huntington Would Be Willing to Turn Over Two Rusty Streaks of Iron. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 31.—Repre- sentative Maguir> spoke for three hours before the House Committee on Pacific railroads to-day in opposition to the re- funding bill. For the first time during the hearings the entire committee was present and great interest was manifested by all. Maguire commenced by saying that a great storehouse of reliable information concerning the Pacific railroads would be the report of the Pacific Railroad Com- mission, which is now almost inacessible even Yo members of the committee, and entirely so to most of the members of the House, wko will be called upon to vote on any bili reported by the committee. He regretted to learn that the committee yes- terday decided not to order even the volume containing the majority and minority reports of that commission printed. Chairman Powers said that the commit- tee equally regretted that it was forced to that action because the cost of printing the report would alone exceed the limit of expenditure which the committee isau- thorized to make for printing. Maguire then asked if the committee would support a resolution offered 1in the House for printing the report. Chairman Powers said the committee would support such a resolution in the House and he was sure that every member of the committee would urge its adoption. Maguire said that he would immediately introduce & resolution to that effect and proceeded with his argument. He ana- lyzed the offer of seitlement hy the Cen- tral Pacific Railroad Company, showing that each piece of soscalted miditional se- curity for the Government debt is already mortgaged far beyond its value and reaily added pothing whatever to the security already held by the Government. ' He said that the so-called blanket mortgage of $16,000,000 resting as the third mortgage on the entire Central Pacific system is a first mortgage on the Oakland mole and other terminal property of the company in Oakland and is vastly in excess of the value of all that property. The effect of the Smith refunding bill, if adopted, would be to extend the Govern- ment morfgage over ail of these branch roads and terminals, making the Govern- ment mortgage subordinate to all mort- gaeges and liens now resting upon such property. This would, for all practical purposes under the refunding scheme, make the Government mortgage subor- dinate to the $16,000,000 third mortgage, because the whole Central Pacific Rail- road, inciuding terminals, was to be treated as the system covered by the Government refunding mortgage. The payments re- served on account of the Government mortgage are to be paid out of the earn- jngs of the Central Pacific Railroad after the payment of all operating expenses and other fixed charges, including interest, on all branches. “Now the blanket mortgage,” ssid Maguire, ‘will be a prior enc::Lrance upon a necessary part of the system. Hyw are you going to segregate that mortgage s0 as to make any part of it subsequent to the Government mortgage under the Smith bill. You. canuot do it without the con- sent of bonaholders, and they wiil not consent, because as a third morteage their lien will be worthless, and their only chance of securing payment is by insisting on priority. The result is that under the refunding scheme the whole so-called first mortgage indebtedness of $27,800,000, the Lathrop and Goshen mortgage of $5,800,000, the Niles and Oakland mortgage of $700,000, the Caiifornia and Oregon mort- gage of at least $10,300,000, and the blanket mortgage of $16,000,000, aggregating $60,- 600,000, will be made prior to the Govern- ment mortgage amounting with interest now to about $59,000,000, and after deduct- ing the sinking fund and earnings, a grand total of $119,500,000, upon all of which the road must in some way be made to pay interest, if the refunding scheme is to be carried out. ““How is that to be done? I say it can- not and will not be done. Butits promoters have some very well-settlea purposes, which will ‘be accomplished by it to the great injury of the Pacific Coastand the ultimate loss to the National Government of substantially all that the Central Pacific Railroud Company now owes it. Itisplain that any atterpt to carry out the refund- ing scheme will involve tbe necessity on the par: of the Interstate Commerce Com- missior: to fix freights and fares over that road at rates high enough to pay all of the fixed chiarges, including interest upon all the present mortgages upon the system oe- fore and in addition to the payments re- served to the Government under the re- funding bill. The commission cannot re- duce freights and fares below that without wilfully interfering with the effort of the Government to collect the money due it. Now that necessary course on the part of the commission must result in one of iwo things—it must either produce the Decessary revenue from the rates so fixed to maiatain in the same excessive charges over its own roads or the refunding scheme mvst speedily fail under the pressure of competition, in which case the United States Government will be in a far worse position than it now is with reference to the collection of money due it. *'The refunding scheme will place the Central Pacific Railroad where it can do nothing but demand excessive freight and Passenger rates, even if the demand should drive away all the business it might other- wise obtain. Now, it so happens that this result would be to the highest possible advantage to the Southern Pacific Com- pany, which is now, and wili be for more than eighty years undér its lease, in abso- lute control of the Central Pacitic Railroad, in which neither it nor its stockbolders have any substantial financial interest, but the Southern Pacific has a transconti- nental railroad line privatelyand complete- ly owned by its stockholders, and would be free under the vefunding scheme to underbid the Central Pacific and to take and reap a rich harvest of the profit from traffic thus driven away from the Central Pacific road. The Central Pacitic road would then in the way of directly promot- ing the interests of the people controlling it be allowed to fall into disuse and decay, urtil at the end of about ten years the re-funding scheme would be abandoned and the Government would get what Mr. Huntington is said to have facetiously described as ‘two streaks of rust and a right of way from San Francisco to Ogden.’ “I think it is with this purpose in view that the representatives of the Central Pacific Railroad Company innocently ask that for the first ten years it be required to pay to the Government only 1 per cent upon the funded debt. It will be well worth all the payments that they propose to make during the first ten years to keep the road under their control for the double purpose of wrecking the road by diverting traffic to their own line and yet, by con- trolling the Central Pacific Railroad, to prevent its being operated as a competing line. The refunding scheme witl, there- fore, work untold injury to California, and to the West generally, without any proba- bility of securing the payment of the claim of the Federal Government.” Johnson—You say that the Southern Pacific people are now diverting traffic from the Central to the Southern road. What proof have you of that? Maguire—Speaking of my personal knowledge I know that the Southern Pacific Company ships freight across the continent by the Southern Pacific Railroad cheaper than by the Central Pacific road. Geary (by permission)—Mr. Maguire, what you state in that behalf, I believe is correct, but is not that due entirely to the fact that the Southern Pacific Company has a complete through line by the Scuthern Pacific route and ships its freight by water from New Orleans to New York, while by the Central route it is obliged to bill freight over roads of other companies ata greater expense ? Maguire—I do not know why cheaper freight rates are offered over the Southern Pacific than by the Central route, and I am not concerned about the reason for it. What I say is that the Southern Pacific Company is actually diverting freight to its own southern road by giving cheaper freight rates than it gives over the Central Pacific to the same points on the Atlantic Coast. I know, too, of my own knowledge, that the Southern Pacific Company has withdrawn its passenger tickets from the ticket office of the Uniou Pacific Railroad Company in San Franeisco, and from the offices of all other roads in that city, thus making it impossible to purchase a ticket over any railroad running to and from San Francisco without going to the ficket officé of the Southern Pacific Company to purchase it and at least giving a first- class opportunity to agents of that com- pany to recommend the Southern Pacific Railroad to all passengers. Outside of my personal knowledge, but upon authority which I consider reliable upon the report of the Pacific Railway Commission; upon the supplemental re- vort of Mr. Coombs, one of the Govern- ment directors of the Union Pacific Rail- road; upon the constantly repeated news- paper statements, and upon the general reputation and rumor among the people of San Francisco, I feel safe in saying that the Southern Pacilic Company is con- stantly and by all means in its power di- verting freight and passenger traffic to the Southern Pacific from the Central road. Maguire read from Director Coombs’ re- port, in which the latter stated he had been informed by numerous business men and others that pressure was brought on shippers to ship by the Southern road in preference to the Central. Johnson—Now, Mr. Maguire, with the greatest respeci and deference to you ver- sonally, do you think itis fair or reason- able to quote a statement such as that of Mr. Coombs, when he shows by his own statement the source of his information is a mere rumor and by conversations with men whose knowledge comes from mere rumor? Why, sir, I could prove in that way that you are an anarchist (which I kuow you are not) because some people have said so and have made rumor of it. Maguire—Yes, I remember Mr. Hunting- ton said it to THE Carn correspondent in Washington, and it was published in Cali- fornia. I presume that was the source of your information. He said, I believe, that in his opinion, if I was in Europe I would be an anarchist and would throw bombs. Watson of Ohio asked if all railroad companies through their agents did not try todivert traffic to their own roads. Maguire—Yes; certainly, and that uni- versal experience should satisfy us that if the United States Government isto get anything out of the Central Pacific Rail- road it must in some way take that road out of the handsof the company that is certain to make money by diverting traffic from it. Maguire then proceeded to that freight and passenger had always been excessive on the Pacific Coast by reason of the monopoly existing there, and answered numerous questions concerning that phase of the question. He said that some relief had been secured to the people between 1883 and 1885 by the establishment of an independent line of steamers operating with the Panama Raiiroad, but that re- cently the control of the Panama road had passed again to Mr. Huntington and his associates, and that freight rates to the Atlantic coast bhad in consequence been increased both by rail and water. Johnson here interrupted again to ask upon what evidence Maguire made the assertion that the Panama Railroad Com- pany is now under the control of Mr. Huntington and his associates. Maguire—Newspaper reports, Mr. John- son, and the fact that the freights that were reduced while the Panama road was free from that control have been increased again. Géary—Isn’t the contract, with the Pan- ama Railroad made by a general combina- tion of overland trunk lines, and not by the Southern Pacific Company alone? Maguire—I do not know, sir. I am not in the secrets of those institutions either individually or collectively. I simply ! sbow rates G, FEBRUARY 1, 1896. PRICE FIVE CENTS TN, iy ., know, as well as an outsider can know, that the contract or combination has been made with the Panama Railroad which subjects the people of the Pacific Coast to increased fraight charges. Maguire proceeded to show that by funding the Pacific Raiiroad debts this condition of the monopoly would be con- tinued for at least a very long period; that the charges for transportation would be based, not upon the value of the services, as they should be, but upon the advantage of the shipper of having his goods trans- ported. In other words, freight rates will be fixed at all the traffic will bear, instead of the value of the service. The railroad monopoly, therefore, will insist upon be- ing let into partnership with all pro- ducers, just as.in the case cited by Mr. Bowers the other day, in which it ap- peared that freight rates on borax had been raised because the borax business had become more profitable than formerly to those engaged in it. Maguire went on to shoy that no re- funding scheme could be made applicable to both the Union and Central Pacific roads, and urged that the objections to refunding the Central Pacific debt applied with simost, if not quite the same foree, to the Union Pacific as to the Central Pa- cific system. The sensation of the day was caused by Maguire’s argument to show that the so- called first mortgage bonds were not in fact prior liens, and that the Government mortgage was, in fact, the first mortgage. In support of this position he quoted at length from Pacific Railroad laws and from a written argument prepared by John T. Doyle of San Francisco on the question. He said that Doyle had been for many years one of the leading lawyers of the Pacific Coast, and was in fact one :he} ablest lawyers in the country; that the argument prepared by him was clear and strong, and asked leave to have it printed as a whole in his remarks, which was granted. Coming to the remedy, Maguire said that any other course that might be pursued in the Pacific Railroad matter would be better than refunding; that it was an extraor- dinary thing for Congress to even listen to | an application for an extension of the credit on behalf of an insolvent company made by men who had rendered the com- pany insolvent by robbing it for their own enrichment, and who had deprived the company of the power to pay its debts to the Government by diverting its assets to their own pockets. Those who had thus violated the old contract could not well be trusted to be faithful to the new one. He discussed the hability of the directors of the Central and Union Pacific Raiiroad companies, and their successors in estate, to restore the assets amounting to more than $150,000,000 which the Pacific Railway Commission found they had diverted to themselyes from the two companies by means of fraudulent contracts made by them with themselves, Chairman Powersclaimed that the ques- tion of the right of the Government to sue the directors for fraudulently diverted as- sets had been finally decided by the United Continued on Tiird Page. { WILL EXTEND THE RESHARCHES The Venezuelan Commission to Seek Information Abroad, AFTER THE ARCHIVES. Secretary Malet-Prevost to Go to Madrid and an Expert to The Hague, LIGHT FEOM OTHER SOURCES. Historical Data Bearing on the Bound. ary Dispute to Be Also Sought in France. WASHINGTON, D. €., Jan. 81.—The Venezuelan Commission held its first reg- ular weekly meeting to-day in its perma- nent quarters, and took up the enormous mass of official documents bearing on the boundary question, which had accumu- lated on the files o1 the State Department in years past, and which had been trans- mitted by Secretary Olney, in accordance with the commission’s formal request adopted at its last meeting. These papers, together with the volun- tary contributions of old maps, books and other data which has been received from various sources, have enabled the commis- sion to make a general estimate of the state of the case and take up the consider- ation of specific researches which must ke pursued to secure corroborative or contra- dictory evidence. . It has been already practically deter- mined that Secretary Malet-Prevost will shortly proceed to Madrid to ransack the Spanish archives for records that his ex- perience leads him to believe are in exist- ence, but have not until this time been connected with the case. Satisfactory as- surances have been given that every facil- ity will be afforded him for his researches. One of the commissioners or an expert selected by them will in all probability be sent to the Hague to study fhe Dutch archives at the same time. Spanish investigation having been un- dertaken, and as historical data of the highest importance is known to be in the possession of the French National Li- brary, it is not beyond the possibilities that a sufficient number of the commis- sioners or their agents will go to Europe in the next two or three months to hold a meeting in some convenient Continental rendezvous. All the members were in attendance at the session which lasted practically ali day, with a brief intermission for iunch- eon. Secretary Malet-Prevost announced that the chief morning business had been the discussion of some State Department pa- vers as well as well as the tenders of as- sistance which had poured in from every direction, showing a commendable desire on the part of the people everywhere to offer evidence. Nothing had yet been presented by either the Governments of Great Britain or Venezuels, nor had any communication of any kind been received from these countries notifving the commission whether or not they would accede to the request to have representation through counsel. The commission at 4 o’clock adjourned until next Friday, the members in the meantime to pursue their individual study of the evidence at hand as well as the search for useful information. SRR SALISBURY REPLIES T0 MORLEY. The Prime Minister Explains Ris Views on the Monroe Doctriite. LONDON, Exe., Jan. 3L.—Prime Min- ister Salisbury delivered a speech here to- night, 1n the course of which he rebutted the statements made Thursday night by John Morley to the electors at Arbroath concerning the Monroe doctrine. Mr. Morley said Lord Salisbury had blundered in seeming to auestion the Monroe doc- trine and that if ever there was a question that should be arbitrated it wasthe Vene- zuelan boundary question. Lord Salisbury said to-night that al- though the doctrine formed no part of international law, his dispatch to Secretary Olney supported it as a rule of policy as strongly and distinctly as possible, but in the form in which President Monroe him- self understood it The Prime Minister expressed sympathy with the Armenians, but denied that Great Britain was under an obligation to declare war against the Sultan of Turkey in order to compel him to govern justly and cited the treaties in proof of his con- tention. He ascribed ‘he atrocities to the passions of race and creed. He believed that the Sultan’s government was wretched and impotent, but there was no ground for imagining that the Sultan had instigated the massacres. It mignt be asked why Europe did not interfere. He could only answer for Eng- land. - She had lacked the power to do the only thing necessary to end the troubles— namely, to militarily occupy Turkish provinces. None of the powers wished so to accupy them. Lord Salisbury said he concurred in the policy that the only authority, albeit it was an evil ane, in that country was the prestige of the Sultan’s name.

Sir Oliver Mowat Says They Would Fight if Necessary- BUFFALO, N. Y., Jan. 31.—S8ir Oliver Mowat, Premier of th:e Province of On- tario for the past twenty-two years, visited Buffalo yesterday on private business. In an interview cn international topies Sir Oliver was asked what effect the recent war talk had in Canada. He replied: ‘“‘Canada is strengthening her forces and defenses now. The present crisis has cer- tainly caused this and there has been ab- solutely no difference of opinion on the matter. Nor has this come from any hint received from the Colonial Office in Great Britain.” “But Mr. Chamberlain will not be slow to note the significance of the fact?'’ *No, for with all our differences, racial and sectarian, we were a unit when we appeared to be in danger. Krench Cana- dians joined heartily with the Protestants of Ontario and demonstrated how little real sentiment there is for annexation to- day. Never in my whole public career have I seen so much loyalty to Great Britain,” “You don’t think there is any possibility of war?” I hope not. I pray God such a dire calamity may be honorably averted. You know that the United States has many good reasons apart from one common language to be friendly toward Great Britain. We are really brothers, and such a war would be cruel, wicked and fratri- cidal. Still, it is a wonder how quickly all responded to the call of danger, and how all races and creeds joined in a deter- mination to show their solid strength and patriotisra on behalf of the motherland. ““Of course, we do not believe there will be war. We have no reason to be other than friendly and neighborly, but Cana- dians are not cowards. We have had fric- tion with the United States before on many issues, but never without cause, and I do not see why all disputes should not be amicably settled. We claim only theright to live neighborly and do our business hounorably with the United States, but we also claim the right to know what is best for ourselves and to be allowed to manage our own affairs as we deem best. This Canadians will always do. We are not cowards, you know, nor are we alarmed even now.” “And do you think Great Britain wili tight ?” “I said that I did not think there would be war between England and the Unitea States. Just now, envied by all countries, England’s ‘splendid isolation’ is the ad- miration of the world. There is no mis- taking her temper or her power. She seems doubly proud and heroic as she stands out alone against the powers as if she almost gloried in her friendlessness. She stands a splendid spectacle. And if she would be cailed upon to fight, I ven- ture to think she wili not fight alone, or that she will not be equal to the occasion.” st i BUDGET OF ONTARIO. Rumors of War Cawused an Expenditure o the Militia. | OTTAWA,. O~tarIo, Jan. 8L—Finance Minister Foster delivered | his budget speech in the House of Comthons to-day. He said the falling off of revenue duming the year, as compared with the previous year, amounted to $2,396,563. The actual revenue was $33,963,125 and the expenditures $38,122,000, leaving a de- ficit for 1894-95 of $4,153,875. There were a number of increases in this year's esti- mates, more particylarly in that regarding the militia. He pointed to the rumors of trouble which existed a few months ago between Great Britain and the United States and gave this as a good excuse for the expendi- ture on the militia. The Government proposed this expendi- ture out of no hostility to any country under the sun. What wasdesired by the Government was to place in the hands of the people of Canada the necessary means of resistance should the emergency arise. WILLIAMSON ACOUITTED, The Wichita Jury Evidently Could Not Be Convinced of His Guilt. Considerable Testimony, However, Connected Him With the Mur- der of Leonard. WICHITA, Kans, Jan. 31.—Marion Williamson, who has been on trial here for the past three days, charged with the murder of Henry H. Leonard on the night of November 17, was acquitted to-day. The jury was out all night. The trial created unusual interest from the fact that a great deal of testimony of a contradictory character was introduced. Mrs. Leonard accused Williamson, her ex- husband, of the crime and described in detail the attendant horrors in a state- ment made at the time of the arrest, but she did not testify against Williamson at his trial. Michael Jordan, from the Sol- diers’ Home at Leavenworth, testified that the defendant told him that Mrs. Leonard would give any man $500 who wonld mur- der Leonard, and urged him to undertake the job. Jordan stated that Williamson described the Leonard premises and sug- gested that the old man be killed in the space back of his second-hand store. George H. States, a gas-fitter, testified that he saw Mrs, Leonard and Williamson in a buggy by the roadside the day before the murder looking over Leonard’s insur- ance policy, and on the stand Williamson admitted that such was the fact. Professor Willston of the State Univer- sity testified that an analysis of stains found on Williamson’s coat showed them to be biood. In view of all this evidence the verdict of not gniltfil comes as a sur- prise to most people. Mrs. Leonard’s sec- ond trial day has not been set. —_— The St. Paul ¥et Aground. NEW YORK, N.

Townsville, a Seaport on Cleves land Bay, Suffered the Heaviest Damage. THE TONGA ISLANDS VISITED. During the Hurricane That Passed Vessels Were Wrecked and Plantations Torn Up. BRISBANE, QuEeeNszasp, Jan. 81— Great loss of life and very large destruction of property have been caused in the north- ern part of this colony by a tornado and floods. It is impossible as yet to tell how many persons lost their lives, but it is known that great numbers were drowned. The damage to property is estimated at Several coasting vessels are missing, and it is believed that they have either foun- dered or been driven ashore and that all aboard of them were lost. Townsville, a seaport on Cleveland Bay, suffered more than any other place in the districts affected. There is scarcely a building in the town that escaped damage. Adyices from the Tonga Islands show that a hurricane lately passed over them. Two ships at Tongatabco Island were wrecked and thousands of cocoanut trees on the plantations were - torn up by the roots, causing heavy losses to their owners. SECKING A BIG BUILDING, Democrats Making Arrange- ments for the Chicago Convention. Advantages of the Coliseum and Tat. tersalls Explained to the Committee. CHICAGO, 11L., Jan. 31.—The members of the sub-committee of the Democratic National Committee appointed to look over the local halls and make arrange- ments for the National convention in July met at the Palmer House at noon to-day. Those present were: Chairman William F, Harrity of Philadelphia; Colonel John Prather, St. Louis; Thomas H. Sherley, Kentucky; Ben Cable, Illinois; Secretary S. P. 8herin, Indiana, and L. W. Nieman, Milwaukee, proxy for E. C. Wall, Wis- consin. The afternoon was spent in looking over the plans of the Coliseum, now in course of erection, and the interior of Tattersalls, At the evening session John T. Dickin- son, formerly secretary of the World’s Co- lumbian Commission, explained the ad- vantages of the Coliseum now in course of erection near the World’s Fair grounds.,; By an adjustable amphitheater, he said, it( could be made to seai from 5000 to 20,000+ people, with spacious aisles, ample en- trances and exits for the delegates and special entrances for the press. The trans. portation facilities of the steam, elevated and surface roads were equal to the con veyance of 15,000 people inside of one hour from the central portion of the city. John Edmendson spoke briefly for Tat- tersalls, the interiorof which he claimed could be o arranged as to seat 16,000 people on the main floor and in the galleries. The committee, after hearing the ad« dresses on halls, went into executive ses- sion until midnight. It was decided to postpone the selection of hotel headquar- ters and the appointment of sergeant-at- arms until to-morrow. The local commit~ tee offered to build a wigwam at any location the sub-committee might desig- nate in case neither of the halls offered proved acceptable. —_— WAS A McKINLEY AFFAIR. Banquet Given by the Hamilton Club at Chicago. CHICAGO, Irr., Jan. 3.—The name of William McKinley was the one which charmed the members of the Hamilton Club and their guests to-night in the ban- quet hall of the Auditorium Hotel, where the sixth annual feast and speech-making of that prominent Republican social or- gamzation took place. Governor Bush- nell, who came last but one on the toast list, was the most distingnished speaker who eulogized the civic and political vir- tnes of his predecessor. It was distinct- ively a McKinley affair, with speeches of a general Republican character, and a plea from Professor Booker T. Robinson of Ala- bama for the negro as the new citizen. Senator-elect Foraker was expected to respond to the toast, “The Republican Party,” but business engagements kept him at home, vl LT LOUISIANA REPUBLICANS.
