SALE OE UNION PACIFIC.
The Government Will Get Dollar for Do!-
lar of Its Debt.
Washington. Oct. 28.—“The problem or
the Government’s relations to the Pa-
cific railroads has been solved,” said
Attorney-General McKenna to a re-
porter yesterday. “It will get dollar
for dollar of its debt on the Union Pa-
cific, and in consequence of that re-
sult, the Central Pacific must in set-
tlement of its indebtedness pay the
same. It cannot escape from that
now. And this Administration thinks
it is entitled to the credit for bringing
about this condition of affairs.
would have thought, even as late as a
month ago, that the United States
would ever get out all the money she
had put into the Union Pacific? I ven-
ture that nobody except President Mc- g
Kinley and myself. We started with
a proposition from the Reorganization
Committee to pay $48,000,000 for the
roads; to-day it agrees to pay $58.000w
000 for the Union Pacific alone, leaving
the Kansas Pacific line to be disposed
of separately. At most, if the Kan-
sas Pacific be sold at its lowest possi-
ble price, under the “terms of Judge
San-born's decree, the Government
stands to lose $7,000,000, a large sum, it
is true, but comparatively a small one.
But the Government will get every dol-
lar of its debt on that line, as well as
that on the Union Pacific. The Reor-
ganization Committee, in its prospec-
111.15, provides for the placing of over
$30,000,000 of securities on the Kansas
line—a fair indication, certainly, of
heir idea of its value.
“The sensational publications ‘have
been only detrimental to the interests
of the Government," said the Attor-
ney General. “The continual assertion
that the Government had sold the road
to the reorganization committee creat-
ed the impression that it was disposed
of in advance, and it has only been
within the last tw0 weeks that the in-
terested parties have come to believe
that there was a show for any one be-
side the committee at the sale.”
Attorney-General McKenna called at-
tention to another misconception aris-
ing out of the proposition to postpone
the sale.
“The Union and Kansas Pacific rail—
roads,” .he said, “have never been dealt
with as one property, and there has
been no division suggested. The
Union Pacific properties are to be sold
next Monday, and the Kansas Pacific
was to be sold on the 5th and 6th of
November, but will now go over until
Dec. 15.” .
“Will Coates & Co. buy the Kansas
Pacific?” was asked.
“They may buy the Union Pacific,”
Mr. McKenna answered. “They have
until to-morrow to deposit the $5,325.-
900 of cash and bonds wit‘h.Commis-
sioner Cornish at Omaha to qualify
them as bidders under the terms of the
decree. It can be done by telegraph,
if ,they want to. But I expect the re-
organization committee will buy the
Kansas Pacific Railroad, as it will the
Union Pacific, and pay the full amount
of the Government’s debt for it, after
having gone as far as they have in un—
derwriting securities for it under the
new arrangement.”

Lodger in a Plalnfield Hotel Takes
. Catholic Acid and Shoots Himself.
‘ Plainfield, N. J., Oct. 28.~——A man
whose identity is not known here at-
tempted to commit suicide in Schorb’s
Hotel yesterday afternoon and will
die. He first swallowed two ounces of
carbolic acid and then shot himself in
the abdomen. Scraps of paper which
be had torn up contained the name
and address of “Harry Dowdell, Eliza-
bethport, New Jersey." He is evidently
aGerman, is about 25 years of age, of
medium height, dark and well dressed.
The stranger entered the hotel about
2 o’clock in the afternoon and asked
for a room, saying that he would re-
main over night. He chose a 35-cent
room. About 4.30 a shot was heard,
and Edward Kellar, who works in the
hotel, ran upstairs and found the
stranger lying on the bed apparently
dying. An empty bottle which had
contained carbolic acid, a gaping
wound in the abdomen and a smoking
revolver on the floor told the story.
The wounded man was taken to the
Muhienburg Hospital.
Maine Band’s New Leader.
‘Washington, Oct. 28.———The Secretary
of the Navy refused to reappoint Prof.
Fanciulli leader of the Marine Band.
His-.term of ofiice expires on Saturday.
The. fight against his reappointment
”was made by the Marine Corps, and
grew out of the incident on last Me-
morial Day when Fanciulli refused to
play Sousa’s marches in,the parade.
He was court-martialed and suspend-
td. Assistant Secretary Roosevelt .re-
tnstated him, against the protests of_
{he Marine Corps.
‘ Prof. Zimmerman, of the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, has been ap-
pointed to succeed Fanciulli, who is
from New York and was appointed by
Secretary Tracy to succeed John Philip
Sousa.

tace De Cordova bet $700 to $1,000 with
H. S. Sterriberger that Tracy would

field continued to rule on the Stock Ex-

3A Disgusting Habit .Alto-
gether Too Familiar.
How to Stop It.
It. may be a habit.
It may be catarrh.
But cutaI-I'h is dangerous.
The habit is disgusting. .
Catarrh causes headaches, inflamma-
tion of the eyes, deafness and consump-
tzon.
’ The habit. causes humiliation.
Catari-h and habit should cured.
That they can be cured and have
been cured, and in Norwalk, too, the
following is proof:
Mr. H. L. Woodworth, of 1 Burbank
' street, South Norwalk, says: “I have
been troubled with catarrh for some
Lime; my head and nose seemed pretty
well stuffed up, and the quantities of
matter that ran into my throat at night
would cause me to hawk, spit. and often
gag in the morning, before I could clear
my throat. I got some California Ca-
tarrh Cure at Plaistcd’s drug store,and
already these symptoms are very much
better. My throat is finely free from
all matter in the morning, and my
whole head feels much clearer.”
By the use of California Catarrh Cure
perfect cleanliness of the nasal passages
is secured, and the peculiar properties
of the herbs used in its production not
only cleanse the mucous membrane of
all puriform matter, soothing and al-
loying all inflammation, but also effec-
tuall y destroy all forms of fungus which
may grow in the throat and nasal pas-
sages.
It has cured cases of almost total
deafness, restored the ability to detect
odors to persons who had almost forgot-
ten what an odor was, and has cured
cases that surely would have resulted
in total blindness. Let no one who has
suffered any of the evils of catarrh,
hesitate to secure a bottle of California
Qatari-h Cure. With full faith that he
will obtain relief and cure.
California Catarrh Cure is sold by all
dealers; 50 cents, three times as much
one dollar. "
NEW JERSEY'S CAMPAIGN.
Six Senators and Sixty Members 0'.
the Lower House to Be Elected.
Trenton, Oct. 28.——VVhile the politica1
battle in Greater New York is about
drawing to a close, the battle for con-
trol of the New Jersey Legislature.
which means a great deal in the matter
of the selection of a successor to James
Smith in the United States Senate, has
just about opened in real earnest.
This week all the candidates for the
upper and lower branches of the Legis-
lature which have been nominated, will
file their certificates with the Secretary
of State, and, as commanded by the
law, that officer will proceed forthwith
to prepare the official ballots to be cast
in November next. ‘
Besides the election of six Senators
and sixty legislators for the lower
House, there are local contests waging
in nearly every county.
Six Senators are to be elected. Five
of the‘ counties where elections are to
occur were represented in the last Sen—
ate by Republicans. The Democrats
had Senator Kuhl from Hunterdon
County.
This year the Democrats hope not
only to retain Hunterdon, but to regain
Sussex and Middlesex, and some pre-
tend to believe that the Democrats
have a chance of defeating Wilh’ams in
Passaic, but it is safe to predict Mr.
Williams' re-election.

Woman Attempts Suicide“.
New York, Oct. 28.—Mrs. Lulu Field,
the wife of Walter D. Field, a. chemist,
of Newark, N. J ., attempted to commit
suicide last night at the Astor House
by taking chloroform.
A physician was called in, and after
he had labored over her about two
hours she recovered consciousness.
Meanwhile her husband had arrived.
The woman intimated that she had
tried to end her life, but as she was
barely conscious her statement was not
credited by her husband, who said that
she had been suffering for several
months with an organic trouble, and
had, at the advice of her physician,
used chloroform at times to ease the
pain. She had inhaled the chloroform-
by means of a paper funnel.
Later an ambulance was called, and
the woman was sent,‘under arrest, to
the Hudson Street Hospital. Mrs. Field
is about 30 years old and has two chil-
dren.
Forming a Wire Trust.
Chicago, Oct. 28.—It is given out as
a fact here that a wire mill trust is
being formed, in which the Rockefel-
lers and other Standard Oil men are
interested.
The trust will have a. capital of $100,-
000,000. It is to control the whole in-
dustry in America, which consumes
1,000,000 steel billets annually and em-
ploys 50,000 men.
The headquarters of the trust will be
Chicago, and the mills consolidated
will be bought outright to evade the
anti-trust law. The plan is to limit
the productiontof wire.
