AH one man expressed It. "If the honorable court wants to railroad they will have lo report on time. " A largo audience listened to the argument of Henry W. Hobson , representing the re- reiver of the Union Pacific , Denver & Oulf cane , and It was like a new chapter In the now relcbrated case , a side that Is but liu- porfcclly understood. Mr. Ilobson , before he began his argil- mrnl In the case , recited cerlaln of tho. pleadings regarding the motion for .1 re hearing.

I Mr. Trumbull was attempting to hold the value ot the property In Which the Union Paclflo Is Interested to moro than 60 per cent of It * cntlro value. > On the Uth of January , 1831 , Mr. Hobaon ntnted , thn petition for vacating tlio Julos- burg branch waalied / In Jtulgo Dnndy's court nnd within nn huur nn order waa Issued , which Ilecclver Trumbull received four dayj Inter. It wan the flrnt Intimation thnt such n courxo wna thoORht of by the Union Pacific compnny. Hid llttlo attack on JudRo Dundy called up Mr. Thurston , who said ho could not It Idly by and hear J ml KB uundy' * motlvta Impugned In view of the fact that ho had the petition In Iho Jules- burg case almost two day * before the order was made. Then came n little sparring between the counsel for the opponlng 'Interests over the treatment accorded thn Union Pacific rec- celvcrs by Mr. Trumbull In not nnswerlng for three wcfikg tlio proposed ngrccmcnt suggested by Mr. Amlernon , Following up his nrguinent Mr. Hobicil told the story of the different llnea of rails limiting up the Union Pacific. The entlro scheme of consolidation was originated and carried out by olikers of tha Union Pacific for the purpose of securing Iho trackage agreement which Is now the bone of contention. WUEKR HOCUS POCUS WAS. "As to the hocus poem alluded to yester day by Mr. Thurston. " said Mr. Itohaon. "and the dark means which ho Intimated had been at the bottom of the constructive mlleago features nnd ( ho bonuses. If there was nny hocus pocus It was between Presi dent S. II. If , Clark of the Union Pacific and S. II. II. Clark , president of the Union Paclllc , Denver & Oulf. " Judge Thurston , In reply to some of Mr. IIohson'H statements , made the remark that Frank Trumbull had opened an olllce In Now York and hnd hlo solicitors nt work there , an well ns In Denver , scalping all the business hu could get nnd giving It to the Oulf rond. Mr. Ilobson flushed considerably nt the charges and , shaking his finger at Thurston , said , "Wo deny that In toto. You made that charge In Denver and were called doun because you could not substantiate the charge. " "I can now , " said Mr. Thurston , showing considerable warmth. "I have verified my statements nnd If you will bring In your pay rolls I will show you what you nro doing. " Mr. Ilobson was nbottt to reply , but the court gently Intimated that the speaker had better go on with his argument and not apeak of matters that are no part of the records. Jttdgo Caldnell , In replying to some re marks by Ilobson , said : "Has not that con sideration been withdrawn since the man agement of the Oulf road has been taken away from the Union Pacific by action of that company uml made n competitive road ? " Then he further said : "I understand you to any that the consideration of this contract \ui.s not In fact substantially what Judge Thtintton hald yesterday , to the end that It nought to obtain absolute control ot the fJulf road , for the purpose of prohibiting competition. Now that their benefits have been withdrawn , do you contend that the fltlnr,1lln ! ni'HMl ftnvnrml Mm llirntnnnf wh'nli bound It together with power to conduct that road entirely Independent of the man agement and control of the Union Paclflc or the receivers appointed In this case ? " Ilobson replied thnt ns to some portion ? the consideration had passed , but that ns to some others , which Judge Hallett had passed upon , hu would pretent his views to the court. Not having completed his remarks , Mr. Hobsou asked that tlio court take a recess till 2:30 : , which was granted. PAYMENT OF INTEREST. Mr. Ilobson resumed his atgunient when the circuit cout convened yesterday after noon. Keplylng to Judge Caldwell's statement as to the merits of the case at bar , made Just before the noon hour. Mr. Ilobson maintained that tlio Union Pacific should pay the Inter est on the Oulf bonds from October 13 to De cember 18 , He alsd contended for the right to terminal facilities at Denver nnd other polutH , and 'nlso that the Julesburg line should be operated as a through line at a rate-that would be fair and equitable. "We do not , claim thai It should ba on u , construc tive mlleago of 3 to 1 , but upon a fair basis at division , " said Mr. Hobson. Judge Sanborn asked Mr. HoMon whether he contended that these claims wero-binding on the receivers "or that they were fair and equitable. ' - Mr. Ilobson In reply asked the court to loolc nl _ all tlic equities ot the case In decid ing the case Itself. j "Wo contend , " said Mr. Hobson , "th.it your honors cannot abrogate these contracts , but you can suspend those portions of the contracts that are onerous. " Ho Hinted that even It thO' court decrees that tiio companies should exchange traffic with ono another , hd was fra ik enough to say that as a practical proposition it could not be done. The court might decree that u bird should sing , but that would not make tlio bird sing. He Insisted UmLtlie receivers only roiild make Etiltable traffic arrange ments. Ho then discussed at considerable length primary and ancillary receiverships , citing a number of cases to show that there was no such jurisdiction as ancillary administration. Ho said that the entlro Oult , , road lay In Colorado and Wyoming and not ono foot of It was In the jurisdiction of Nebraska. "Upon what principle then. " asked Mr. Hob- ann. "In ! ( . that the court of Nebraska has Jiihlsillctlon over the Gulf road ? " Heplylng to the assertions made by Mr. Anderson that the harmonious relations be tween thu companies had been severed , Mr. Hobson said that Mr. Trumbull was ever reudy to carry out all contracts now In force. "But from the very day Mr. Trum bull became receiver ot the Gulf road the purpose of tlio receivers of the Union Pacific ha been to undermine the Gulf company and dcpieoSato Its b'tocks. " HECEIVEU ANDEHSON'S DENIAL. Tills brought Mr. Anderson to his feet with tlio assertion that as receiver and for his co- rmtlvers ho dedlred to say that the piemantebt relations were being maintained between the receivers of the two properties. As to the Gulf rend being a great burilen on the Union Paclllc , Mr. Hobson said that ho btood as much for the Union Paclflc In this mater us for the Gulf company. The underlying and consolidated bonds of the Gulf company" , said Mr. Ilobson , amount to $ : ; : ! , 126,000 , all told , ot which the Union Pacific owns $13,0.28,000 , the public owning the balance. Mr. Thurston hero Interrupted to bay that the Union Pacific was not Inter ested In these bonds for the reason that they \\ero pledged to their full value by the Union Paclflo In their collateral trust , nnd that eompnny had used the money. Mr. Hobson denied that , and stated that the facts were that these bonds were.pledged , together with a large number of other se curities , to secure the payment of collateral trust notes amounting to about $19,000,000 which had been Issued by the Union Pa cific ; thnt the par value of the securities GO pledged exceeded $110,000,000 , and that prior to the panic of ' 03 the actual mnrkot value ot tha securities exceeded $55,000,000 , and consequently the Union Paclllc hnd a very largo equity In tlioso securities nml WUH bound fur thn Indebtedness whether the sa- curltlca were Worth thi ( amount thereof cr nnt. There wna u buzz In the court room when Mr. Ilobson finished this statement , nnd the Judges looked nt one nnnthnr und smiled nt the suggestion of water hnvlng been Injected Into somu of the Union Paclflo securities. C'cntlmilng , Mr , Ilobson said that In 1R93 the Gulf road earned above its expenses and taxes enough to pay all nf lu Interest charges on bondi other than thoao owned by ths Union Paclllc. The total Interest on bonds In 1K9J was fl.lTt.710 , the Interest on the underlying bon.la , Including $1,000,000 of Colorado Central Is ? 7V1,7CO , all of which was duo the Un'on Paclllc , leaving a bal ance or $3 ! ) ,950 duo upon bonds held by the public. The Gulf earnings for 1S93 , desp'.to disastrous times , dpto ( | tlio fact that tha Union Pacifier hnd to use this line as a break water against 'competition , were over $150,000 not. Hn made the nlU'entlou that the Union Pacific company had charged up to the Gulf company $15.000 for tases per- month , which ho stated the receivers refused to pay back to the Quit company , in consequence ot which the Gulf company | g In default for Its taxes tor 1&93. TRUMHULti nXCBPTS TO TIIUKSTO.V. After sparring over the question of taxes for an hour and the statement of floating In- debtcdnes3. Mr. Hobion rand n telegram from Sir. Trumbull dated at Denver , Inking exception to Mr. Thurston's statement made Monday as to Uio amount realized by the Gulf on the arbitrary mileage allowance Mr , Trumbull stating that the amount for January was only about $17,000 Instead of $41,000. Mr. Trumbull further stated that ho was willing to settle the division In each class of trnmc lin Iti own merits and fur thermore as to Thur ton's allegation that h9 claimed terminal nnd switching services free , ho had always expected to pay for the same nnd was willing to do so as socrt ns the ac counts could bo settled. To show that It was the Intention of the Union Pacific receivers to carry out the terms of the contract of April 1 , 1S90 , rela tive to the Gulf company , Mr , Hobson read nn affidavit from Mr. S. II. II. Clnrk , wherein ho stated that If ho would ba permitted to continue as receiver he would Insist upon the specific performance of the terms ot the contract with the Gulf company. This affi davit was made October 23 , 1S93 , ten days after Iho Union Pacific road had passed Into tlio hands of the receivers. Ho also read an affidavit from Mr. Oliver W. Mink , dated October 19 , 1S93 , ot the same tenor as Mr. Clark's. These aflldavltn were nmdc n part of the John -Ivans I unit In the circuit court of Colorado and hastened the appoint ment of n receiver for the Oulf company. Mr. Holnoii read from n letter whltfh E. Ellery Andeicon wrote to Mr. Trnmbull na to whnt Mr. Anderson would consider n fair basis of settlement nnd then stated ho wotlld offer In evidence this morning certain papers to support his caso. It being utter t > o'clock , Mr. Hobion nskcd permission of the court to conclude his argument this morning , nnd court mljoarnej until 10 o'clock. In private conversation between E. Ellery Anderson nnd Mr. Hobson before the CUHO opened Mr. Anderson ncserted thnt the statement that the Union Pacific1 was earn ing enough to pay all Its bonded Interest w ns not true. The system , i ' , was earning enough onIts mnlii line to pay the obligations on that portion of the road , and during Juno and July the cntlro system did earn that much , but had not since thatdate. 'Tlio Kan sas Paclflc , for Instance , was not earning sufficient to moot all Its obligations. Mr. Anderson said he only objected to the state ment In the answer for the reason It would go cast and create a wrong- Impression there. WHY TIIUY IIKSICIXUD. Somn of the Alleged Imlclo Working * of the1 Directory of tha C'cntriil Paclllc. SAN FRANCISCO , March 27. The Exam iner will tomorrow announce that C. P. Huntlngton , H. E. Huntlngtoh and Charles F. Crocker have resigned from the direc torate of the Central Paclflc Railway com pany , their purpose being to Intrench them selves In n strong legal position whereby the Southern Paclflc company mny avoid ( ho stipulation of Its lease that It shall pay the holders of Central Pac'flc securities .Mia annual sum ot $1,400,000 In dlvfuonds. It(3 ( well known that the directors of the South ern Paclflc and Central Pacific conipanles.aro practically Identical.the great trIo's , , Crqcker , Hopkins and Stanford Interests , being abso lutely dominant In both. When the. Southern Paclflc company leased the Central Paclflc their agreement to pay so large an amount to the Central Paclflc annually secured the Investment In Its stock ot largo amounts of English capital , and It Is this Interest against which this late move of tfio railroad authori ties Is directed. Last December the Southern Paclflc cov enanted with the Central Paclflc to modify the terms of Its Icaso so that no stated an nual sum should bo paid , but the dividend depending solely on the earnings. Minor provisions of the lease , such as the submis sion to arbitration of matters of dispute be tween tlio corporations and thnt nil moneys advanced by the Southern Paclflc should bs considered a Hen on the property of the Cen tral Paclflc It was also proposed to abrogate. It was some time before the London In vestors heard of thlsj'they formulated a for mal protect and sent It to both companies. It was then determined by C. P. Huntlngton and associates to surrender as to the minor features ot the modification , but to adhere firmly to their mnln position , wiping out the fixed charge. To remove as far as possible the appearance of making the right hand play Into the lefti they concluded to sever the Identity of the two boards. H. E. Hunt lngton , the president , nnd C. F. . Crocker nnd C. P. Huntlngton , directors , resigned Horn the Central Paclflc. Mrs. Stanford , likewise withdrew , nnd T. If. Hubbard , the Hopkins representative , drcpped out , so that the Crocker , Stanford , Huntlngton and Hop kins Interests were 'eft without Immediate personal representation on the Central Pa clflc board.
