All sorts of rumors arc hoard In railway circles Hicso days anent tlio Union Pacific situation and tlio growing unrest of lines In tlio western section of the country , largely prompted by the Union Pacific , Denver & Gulf succeeding In breaking awity from the Union Paclllo system. The latest of thcso rumors developed yes terday , when It was assorted that the Oregon gen liallway and Navigation company had demanded n.scparala accounting preparatory to the 'commencement of n suit looking to tlio appointment of a rocclver for the north ern lino. Hut Inquiry failed to conrtrm the latter rumor , although a separata account of not earnings is being kept to satisfy second mortgugo bondholders. When too odlclals were In Now York a comiulttoo of thcso bondholders waited upon the receivers with a request that the moneys of the Oregon Uallway & Navigation company bo kept apart from the general funds in order that holders might have an opportunity to asccr- tain the condition of the earnings at any time. The request , which was entirely con sistent , was immediately granted and the not earnings over and , above the payment of operating expense's and the interest on the llrst mortgage- koptsoparato for the beun- lit of second mortgage bondholders. The earnings pay the operating expenses , the Interest on ilrst mortgage bonds and about 25 per cent of the interest on second mort gage bonds. Beyond this there Is nothing now in tbo sltuitlon , the committee ap pointed recently by bondholders to act in conjunction with the Berlin committee being very friendly to the present manage ment of the system. Not the least trouble Is feared at headquarters regarding the Oregon Utiilwav & Transportation company attempting to follow In the footsteps of the Denver , Texas & Gulf road , and things arose so shapine themselves that overthlng will ha smooth sailing very soon.

In response to an Inquiry regarding the reported receivership for the Missouri Pacific George Gould , president of the board of directors , says there is absolutely no truth in the story of a , receivership for the Missouri 'Pacific. It has never boon considered by anybody con nected -with the company. None of the company's lawyers have over been consulted ! in regard to such a question. "Tho floating debt is held entirely by Mr. Sago and myself ana won't give the company any trouble. "The earnings of thu company arc off , the same as almost every other company in the country , but they are not of the proportion of other companies. "In regard to thq price of stock it has Deen driven down largely by men who nro beanshly inclined on the market , mid who very often use it as a hammer to break other stocks , because they think it Is ua pro tected from a market point of view. Our earnings began to decline earlier thaa these of the Chicago lines , because their earnings were kept up-to some extent by the World's ) fair business , which did 'not help the Mis souri Pacific , and which , In Tact , was a dis advantage to It , because it turned'business iho other way.

The first and most essential feature of this now tlcltot and whlcli will commend itself to railroad men Is found In the arrangement of destina tions which follow one unot'icr In station order. Take , for Instance , ona form cover- In ? all points , say between Omaha and North Platto. If the station agent through mistake cuts the destination ono point abova or below the real destination the value of the ticket sold is not changed materially , as the number of miles botwuou the real and the jndicatcd destination arc very low. Tlio next most Important point noticed la that the butter , which Is a mechanical con trivance now pretty generally in use oh western roacls\ dips into 'the bodv of Ihfc ticket s'o far'as to prohibit manipulation by experts by using the shears , which In the old ticket could bo used to advantage by clipping off the tit loft on the ticket and pasting it somewhere clso. Thu cut nowis so deep , made In the form of an inverted "W , " touching nt a station above and below the real destina tion , Hint the expert would have to out away all the stations on the form If ho de sired to change the reading of the destina tion. tion.Then Then again the class of the ticket , whether "half , " "clergy , " or "second class" Is plugged out by tlio notcher Instead of using u common punch to indluato ( ho class which has been the custom heretofore , admitting easy manipulation by the export. These now tickets have n tlmo limit of thirty days which Is n decidedly now departure - parturo for this class of "fllmslos , " al though the big systems of the west have been discussing this fcnturo for several years , but it was left for Mr. Lomax to take the initiative. The use of the ticket cuts down the num ber of formn required by the ordinary sta tion agent abott 80 per cent , ten forms under the now arrangement taking the ptacoof fifty or sixty forms used formerly. It simplifies the work of the ticket greatly , It lessens the number if agents' reports and helps the work of conductors by reason of Its uniformity. It is a vast improvement over the old ticket for it practically removes it from the field of manipulation. Closed on un Attachment. ST. Louis , Jan. f > .

At the regular meeting of the Current Topic club held last evening in the Young Men's Christian association lecture room , Major Halford made his customary review of tbo events of the week. The speaker first referred to the change in the year and spoke hopefully of a brighter outlook for the coming twelve months. In speaking about enforcement of the laws the major stated positively that his , remarks were not to bo construed to local laws , espe cially as ho was not well enough posted , and uot being a citizen of Omaha ho did not do- sir a to discuss the questions which several ministers had recently taken up. Ho quoted General Grant's remark wherein ho said the best way to repeal an obnoxious law was to enforce it. Then , for a moment , the major spoke of the stand taken by Governor Mitchell of Florida regarding the proposed prize fight. Ho thought that a public officer first learned what ho culled public senti ment and then aotodv not always in accordance with the law , but in accord with thoso-callcd public sentiment. Hawaiian and Brazilian affairs were briefly touched upon and then attention was called to tho'distross among the worthy poor nnu thosu present wore urged to do nil In their power to relieve suffering. The topic of the evening , ' 'Should the 10 Per Cent Tax on titatoBank Issues Bo Kepealed ? " was laid over owing to the aosoncoof ono of the sneakers. Mr. Frank Crawford , however , made a short address on the subject. Wn In it 1 1 n fry.

Manager Bowden rccc-ntly wired Governor Mitchell In regard to his position In the matter of the contest yesterday. Ho received an answer , but denied that it referred to the subject In question. When scon this morning ho showed a letter with a Tallahassee heading , which , ho explained , had como from private indi viduals. . This , ho said , hud caused the rumor that Governor Mitchell had written to him. This appears to bo a bluff , however , on the part of Mr. Bowdcu. and It does not alter thai fact that n letter from Governor Mitchell was received by him. It was of such an Important nature that a meeting of the officials of the club was immediately called. The meeting did not last long and it was evident the news Manager Bowden communicated to his brother officers was not very uad. The club people nro now more positive than over that the fight will take place. flow tlio llottlnu In Mudc. The bolting bore so far has not been of a very fast nature. Evou money Is now bolng offered hero that Mitchell will not respond In the twenty-first round. Some of this has been taken , but the general opinion Is the English champion will make a longer fight. Charles Mitchell Is very angry over the fact that several southern newspapers have accused him of showing the "whlto feather" in not signing the amended articles when first presented to him. The pugilist assorts that ho is wildly anxious to meet Corbctt , but , as ho has a family , ho does not purpose to violate the laws of the state and get himself into trouble. Ho further says that he Is sorry now that ho did sign and that If ho had a chance ho would take his name from the agreement. He stated positively that ho would sign nothing more. IVIiitt the Sherlnr Snys. Sheriff Broward today declared that the club people were mistaken if they thought ho would stand quietly by and allow the fight to occur in Uuval county. "I tell you , " said ho , "tlio fight will not take place in Duval county If I can stop It , and I think I can got men enough to assist mo In preventing it. " Ho is a man of nerve" and would not hesi tate to shoot in the discharge of his duty. It is reported iho dub will select Anastasla island , opposite , .
