From Louisville to Memphis the lines are under the name of the Chesapeake and Ohio and Southwestern, of whith Echols is general manager.

Connecting with it are the Owens- boro Falls and Rough and Green' River road, of which M. N. Monarch is receiver and Echols general manager. Also, the Ohio Valley Railroad from Henderson fo Hopkinsville, of which.John MacLeod is receiver and General Echols mahager. The Paducah, Tennesseé and Alabama Railroad is also under Huntington’s con- trol, and a note from a recent communica- tion of Governor Bradley to the Legisla- ture in regard to a State suit against this railroad will show the methods pursued by 1t, as with other lines in the Hunting- ton system: The recent case of the State of Kentucky vs. the Paducab, Tennessee and: Alabama Rail- road resulted in a judgment and return of no property found, and pending notice by the At- torney-General and proceedings to place the road in the handsof a State receiver, the road went into the hands of & receiver in the United States Court.

[The heavy lines show the several railroads in Kentucky and Tennessee operatéd by C. P. Huntington ‘under the charter of the Newport News and Mississippi Company. ~The line from Louisville to Lexington is leased from the Louisville and Nashville Company.] and Mississippi Valley Company as the State of California is under the Kentucky charter to the Southern Pacific Company. 8o aleng pull and a strong pull both to- gether is required to get rid of Hunting- ton’s system. The Legislature adjourned early to-day, 80 as to give the members from the vicinity & chance 10 gc home to spend Sunday. A number will, according to the usual custom, go to Louisville or Cincinnati. This cuts off any possiblity of considéring the Southern Pacific repeal bill before Monday night or Tuesday by the commit- tee. Indeed it is safe to-say that with the ali-absorbing Senatorial election taking up so much of their time they will hardly have a meeting before Wednesday at the earliest, and will not go so far as to be ready to make a report before the latter part of the week. Inthe mean time Hunt- ington’s forces:are “‘making hay.” His men are all good workers and they know just how to keep their mouths shut to out- siders while they are fixing in the several approved ways the men they need. As far as can be heard there area few men who are strongly in -favor of the Goebel bill, and they so express themselves when questioned; but while they will sup- port it when it comes up, they are not making it their business to win over others to its support: No one else is doing so. On the other hand, Huntington’s men-are in force and active in getting members committed to opposing the bill. They recognize Goebel’s strength in the Senate and they are confining themselves princi- pally to the members of the House, where they place their reliance in case the ‘Sen- ate Judiciary Committee makes a report favoring the passage of the bill, & - The fight may be longer than antici- pated, and in the discussion other committees, both: of the Senate and House, will cut some figure.

Sent to the House of quraction'for Battling *With ™ Chicago Policemen. CHICAGO, ITur., Feb. 1.—Mark L. Crawford, Superintendént of the House of Correction, is at present entertaining a real Hungarian Baron. The Baron is no less. a personage than Sigmund von Mi- halka, in whose veins courses thé blue blood of thé Hungarian monarchy. Crawford’s entertainment of the Baron is not a social event, as Baron Mibalka's stay at the Bridewell is one of eompulsion, until he has worked out a $25 fine imposed by Justice Clark of Hyde Park. Itis thought that the nobleman will be a guest at tne institution for sixty-two days. The Baron’s detention at the workhouse 'was caused by his interference with Police- men Burns and Breen of the Hyde Park station, who were serving a search war- rant for a valuable otter hound lost by Morrison, an architect. Morrison lives at Fifty-third street and Kimbark avenue. On Tuesday Mrs. Morrison was told that the animal, known as Jumbo, was being kept in a flat building at 578 East Fifty- fith street. She went to that number and upon making inquiries found' that Jumbo was in a flat occupied by Baron Mihalka. ‘When Mrs. Morrison demanded the re- lease of her dog the Baron is alleged to have demanded & reward, and when Mrs. Morrison refused to make the proposed settlement, it 1s claimed, he shut the door violently in her face. “When Officer Burns displayed a search warrant Mihatka, it is said, attempted to close the door in Burng’ face. A struggle ensued, in which two ' policemen, Mihalka and two women were considerably ‘mixed up for several minutes. The Baron, it is said, nearly succeeded in tossing Officer Breen over the railing of the third floor, and it was only by using force that he was taken to the Hyde Park station, where he was later in the day released on bonds. Mihalka failed to appear and his bonds were forfeited and a fine of $25 was.im-. posed upon charges of interfering with and resisting an officer. organization of the company and the issu- ances of $100,000,000 4-per-cent bonds to take up the Government lien and all other obligations for the company. He gave. in detail the amounts of the different mortgages on the company’s property end their relation to the debt due ‘to the Government, and said the reorgani- zation commiitee would either make a proposition to the Government for a set- tlement of the debt or that the offer might first come from thé Government. ~ To a question by Frye whether the pro- posed issue of $100,000,000 bonds fairly rep- resented the value of the property ownea by the Union Pacific road Pierce replied in the affirmative. Frye asked whether 1f the bonds were amply secured the com- pany could not pay the Government the amount in cash, selling the bonds for that purpose, but Mr. Pierce replied that they would probably not be worth par in the open market, but might range at from 80 to 90, while inthe long run they would be worth par and the. Government would- re- ceive all that they represented. Frye asked whether there was a bill pending which covered the proposition. Pierce said there was not. What he pre- sented was the plan of reorganization. He represented the reorganization - commit- tee. 3 ¥ 0 Tweed, counsel for the Central Pacific Railroad Company, stated the finanecial and other conditions of that company as differing essentially from those on the Union Pacific, inasmuch as the Central Pacific was a *‘going’’ road with the inter- est on its mortgages paid as it falls due and with no floating debt. He. presented figures to show that the company couid pay the sixty millions, principal and in- terest due the Gqvernment, on an exten- sion of the debtfor fifty years at 2 per cent. Collis P. Huntington, president. of the Central Pacific, said that he would prefer to defer the statement which he desired to shall be disposed of . before the bond bill is taken up. He does not doubt that the motion: to nofi-concur. on the latter measure will be adopted by a large ma- jority. . p ACCESSION OF FORMOSA Japan Declares the Island to Be Open to Home and Foreign : Commerce. The United States to Establish Consular Agencies at the New Ports. - WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 1.—The Japanese Minister to-day communicated to the Becretary of State the following ‘| cablegram which bad just been received from the Imperial Government at Tokio, and which is-intended asthe formal de- claration on the part of Japan to the treaty powers of the accession of Formosa and the opening of the island to foreign commerce: ; “Order and tranquillity having been es- tablished in Formosa, the Japanese Gov- ernment grants the followine privileges and facilities to the subjects, citizens ‘and vessels of treaty p;wers being in or resort- ing to Formosa: 2 441, The subjects and citizens of powers having commercial, treaties with Japan may reside and trade in Formosa at Tamsui, KeeJung, Anping, Taiwanfu and ' Takaio, and the vessels of such powers may visit and earry cargoes to and from the ports and harbors of Tamsui, Keelung, Anping, Taiwanfu and Takaio.. “2. Notwithstanding . the exceptional condition of affairs in Formosa, the treat- ies of commerce and navigation and the tariffs and.arrangements exigting and now in force between Japan and other powers are, so far as they are applicable, extended to the subjects, citizens and vessels of such powers being in or resorting to For- mosa, it being at the same time under- stood that all persons availing theniselves of the above enumerated facititiés sball obey all decrees and regulations whichk may at any time be in force in Formosa.” This notice, which is practically. an impérial proclamation, makes the ne wly acquired island as free to foreign trade as any portion of Japan. As now issued, the final provision is similar to the saving clause usually inserted in such decrees, and is chiefly significant in that under it no extra-territorial jurisdiction is contem- plated. : The United States will probably estab- lish consular agencies at the new open ports. Provision has already been made for an agent at Takaio. : {COINAGE oF THE sEfeNI0RAGE do business in Germany, and it was agreed |.

At 2 o'clock the disc sion was closed. 3 Prior to that, however, Morrill (R.) of Vermont had offered an amendment Te- serving to the Government the seigniorage on the silver coined and the Benate had rejected it. Gorman (D.) of Maryland bad also moved te lay the substitute on the table and that moion was defeated. Then’came the concluding vote'of 43 to 34, and ‘the bill thus amended passed by a' vote of 42 to 85. Its title was changed so 28 10 make it read, *“To restora the coinage of silver dollars and for other purposes.” All sections of the House bill are now struck out. The bill now goes to the House for concurrence in the substitute. When the Senate met at 11 o'clock this morning, after taking -a recess from 10 o'clock last evening, the attendance of Senators was rather slim, there being per- haps twenty present. . The Vice-President laid before the Sen- ate a deficiency estimate of $50,000 by the “] Secretary of the Navy for the equipment outfit of vessels for the navy already au- thorized. . 5 v Allen (Pop.) of Nebraska introduced a bill to reduce public expenditures and for other purposes, which was referred to the Finance Commiitee. Morrill (R.) of Vermont, chairman of the Finance Committee, then addressed the Senate in opposition to the free coin- age substitute report by that committee for tke House bond bill. The United States, said Morrill, had been the friend of sllver to its own hurt, and he continued: ‘If the late invéstments of nearly $500,~ ,000 in silyer had been notoriously im- provident and unprofitable, the disastrous results will appear as a drop ina bucket when compared with what must flow from the enormity of ttie present proposal, which is to open all our mints to the free coinage, not only of our own siiver produet, but that alsoof all the world, excluding nobody from Dan to Beersheba, and to tempt a great incréase in the annual product both at home and abroad by offering United States obligations for it at double the sum it now commands in.any other market.”” Morrill said there were some gentlemen who confidently predicted the overthrow -of the gold standard party as though that would insure- the enthronement of the sil- ver standard party. He was not aware of a single gold standard party in America, -| émendment, providing that the seignior- amendment depriving the Secretary of the Treasury of the power to issue bonds without the prior authority of Congress. ‘White (D,) of California thought it unwise to unload the measure with “Greek amendments:” Gifts of that character might result in the defeat of the sub- stitute. Allen's amendment prohibiting the future igsue of bonds without Congress haying declgred the necessity therefor, 'was defeated by a vote of 21 ayes and 54 noes, as follows: Ayes—Allen, Bacon, Baker, Berry, Blanchard, Brown, Butler, Call, Cameron, Cannon, Hill, Hoar, Irby, Kyle, Lindsay, Mills, Peffer, Pritchard, Roach, Stewart, Thurston—21.

The Senate Committee, hostile to the relief, had re- ported in favor of the unlimited coinage of silver. It was, he said, impossibte to have this substitute become a law prior at least to March 4, 1897. It could and wonld not receive the sanction of -the President. Under the conditions existing in the Sen- ate theiriends of free coinage could not agree upon any proposition. He therefore moved that the amendment offered by the Committee on Finance be laid upon the table. It was defeated by a voteof 43to0 34, as follows: 5 Ayes—Allison, Baker, Burrows, Caffrey, Chandler, Davis, Elkins, Faulkner, Frye, Gallinger, Gear,.Gibson, Gorman, Gray, Hale, Hawley, Hill, Hoar, Lindsay, Lodge, McBride, McMillan, Martin, Mivchell of Wisconsin, Moerrill, Murphy, Nelson, Palmer, Platt, Proctor, Sherman, Thurston; Vilas, Wetmore—34.

The Republican party, hadeclared, will at its earliest opportunity seek the co- operation of the leading nations in the coinage .of silver, and will in the mean time aim to maintdin the integrity of busi- | ness affairs and the honor of the country by the maintenance of every dollar of money in the hands of the people without depreciation at its full face value. Morrill concluded his speech at 11:45. Teller (R.) of Colorado replied to the assertion of Morrill that silver was being mined at a ridiculously low cost. He maintained that gold and silver were to- day both being mined at 25 cents an ounce. He had ample testimony to show that gold had been mined at from 10 cents to $3 an ounce, and it was unfair to say that silver was a cheap metal. Discussion proceeding under the five minute rule, Daniel (D.) of Virginia op- posed the amendment proposed by Butler (P.) of North Carolina, requiring the Sec- SANTA FE RETRENCHMENT make until the committee’s next meeting, showing that the Central Pacific was a hittle better off than it appeared to be. “That will be very agreeable news to the committee,’” said Frye. ' The Senator also added pleasantly, “They do say that you have paid large sums of money to Sutro to tempt him to stop these attacks in the press. Is there any truth in that?” Huntington replied that Sutro.asked him to lunch at his place one day; that he told him he wanted to build a road from San Francisco to his place, about eight 1 iles, that he (Huntington) said he couid not-do it then, but would some time; that then Sutro said: “I am going to fight you,” and that Huntington replied, ““Com- mence your fight now, d— you,” and got up from the table and went away. The case of the Sioux City and Pacific Railroad, now owned by the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad, was presented by David T. Little of Springfield, Ill., who advocated the passage of a bill to appoint a commission whose findings shall be binding on both the Government and the company. The Baron came to court a few minutes later, and refusing to pay thé fine, he was taken to the Bridéwell. Mrs. Mihalka went before Mayor Swift yesterday and threatened to invoke the aid of the Aus- trian Consul if he did not make an imme- diate uxvnt?ticn of the case and release her husband. Captain Aldrich was di- rected Qg the Mayor to bring his two offi- cers and all witnesses to his ofiice at2 o'clock, and at that time Mrs. Milhalka with several witnesses and an attorney presented themselves at the Mlyox’u\goe. Attorney C. T, Butcher made a formal demand that the Mayor should take im- mediate action, ana after a lengthy argu- ment said he would give the officials fifteen ‘minutes in which to decide what they were going to do. Before the expira- ton of the time, however, the yor ordefed the officers to return to (heir station, and then gave the attorney to un- derstand that he would take no sction of any kind. ‘Mrs. Mihulka now threatens to have the two officers who arrested her husband arrested on several charges, the nature of which she refuses to divulge. The hearing was adjourned until next Baturday. BV ' OPPOSED TO RE-FUNDING. Pointed Resolution Adopted by the Sam Jose Board of Trade. SAN JOSE, CaL, Feb. 1.—~The directors of the Board of Trade last evening adopted" a resolution requesting the California Rep- resentatives in Washington to oppose the re-funding of the Central Pacific Railroad debt and to urge the Government to pro- ceed to foreclose the mortgage upon the railroad as soon as it can legally do so.

CHICAGO, Irn, Feb: L—Orders were issted to-day by President Ripley of the Atehison, Topeka and- Santa Fe Railrpad system to close the freight offices of that company in Philadelphia, Cleveland, Min- neapolis, Omaha, Buffalo and Quincy, Ill. All the employes in these offices will re- ceive .notice that their services are no longer.uquir'ed by the company, with the exception of the agent at Philadelphia, who is transferred to New York. President Ripley and his associates in the new management of -the Santa Fe Were convinced, on investigation, that the business done from' these offices was not sufficient to warrant their continuance.in furtherance of the present policy of re- trenchment, Theére have been numerous reports and rumors since the first of the year that important changes and reduc- | tions would be ordered from ‘headquarters in the course of a month. President Ripley left Chicago to-day to be nbgenn three or four weeks, and there is Some uneasiness at the general offices here as to what officials aré to be dropped, the common report in railroad circles being that the ax is being sharpened for sucha purpose. It is understood that other out- side freight offices are also to be abolished. —— X . Mme; Modjeska Recovering. CINCINNATI, Ouro, Feb. 1 — Mme.

Gray (D.) of Delaware said that the practical effect of such an amendment would be equivalent to a declaration that the Government was bound to cheat the holders of its obligations if it counla, Lindsay (D.) of Kentucky held that the proposed amendment was contrary to the very principle on which the friends of free coinage based their claims. Senators Jones, Harris, Teller and Du- bois urged that the substitute be passed without' amendment, and Butler (Pop.) of North Carolina urged the adoption of his amendment. Cockrell (D.) of Missouri asserted that there had never been any greater obstacle to securing free coinage than the efforts of those who always wanted more than it was possible to get. A free-coinage bill was now possible, and Cockrell hoped it would pass without amendment. Allen, Butler, Peffer and Btewart (all Populists) favored Butler's amendment. Butler's amendment was defeated, 13 to ‘60, as follows: Ayes—Allen, -Brown, Butler, Cameron, Cannon, George, Hill, Kyle, Peffer, Roach, ‘Pritchard, Stewart, Tillman—13, < Noes — Allison, Bacon; Baker, Bate, ‘Beiry, Blanchard, Burrows, Call, Carter, Chandler, Chilton, Clark, Cockrell, Davis, Dubois, Faulkner, Frye, Gallinger, Gibson, Gorman, Gray, Hale, Hansbrough, Harris, Hawley, Hoar, Irby, Jones (Arkan- sas), Lindsay, Lodge, McBride, McMiilan, Mantle, Mills, Mitchell (Oregon), Mitchell (Wisconsin), Morgan, Morrill, Murphy, Nelson, Palmer, Pasco, Perkins, Pettigrew, Platt, Proctor, Pugh, 8houp, Squire, Teller, Thurston, Turpie, Vest, Vilas, Voorhees, ‘Walthall, Warren, Wetmore,” White, Wil- son—60. ¥ Butler’s amendment sought to ‘prohibit any future issue of bonds, and required payment of silver in redeeming United States notes when that metal is worta less than gold, : el |- Allen (Pop.) of Nebraska offered an * Cockrell (D.) of Missouriand Harris (D.) of Tennessee insisted that the agreement stipulated the final vote on the substitute should be taken at 2 o'clock.
