Senator IIIll'n resolution requested the sen ate conferees to report to the senate the principal Items of disagreement on the tariff bill and as to whether an agreement was likely to be reached. Senator Harris stated that the main dis agreement HUH on xugar , coal and Iron oro. Objections wtru made to the consideration of the resolution , as It lacked unanimous consent. Mr Hill Insisted that It was a proper mat ter for the consideration of the senate at this time. The vlco president decided that under the rules the resolution must lie over for a day. Senator Vest said ho was heartily In favor of the resolution. "When It comes before the senate tomorrow , " ho mild , "I shall take occasion to make a statement b ° fore the senate which can bo done without violation of the confidence of the conference. It Is time , I think , that the calcium light of truth be shed on the work of the conferees ; that the calumnies and falsa Issues which have been heaped upon the conferees and cent broadcast over the country be dispelled. With this end In view I will , when the resolution Is consldcicd tomorrow , speak nf the In famous lies which have been Invented and circulated as to the work of the conferees on the part of the senate. " Senator Hill suggested : "Perhaps the sen ator would like to tree his mind now. " "I'm ready at any tlmo , " declared Mr. Vest. Vest.Mr. Mr. Alilrlcli of Hhodo Island executed a flank movement by calling up a resolution heretofore ottered by Senator Allen. It was an unimportant resolution , but It gave Mr. Aldrlch the Moor and ho claimed the Allen resolution was morning business Ho moved to strike out all after the word "resolved , " and Insert the resolution of Mr. Hill. Fierce opposition \vas made to the consid eration of the resolution. Mr. Aldrlch said the opponents were "trying to filibuster It out of sight , when the country wanted the Information. " Mr. Mills objected that the amendment \vas not germane to the resolution , which was for the consideration of a bill for the Issue of $50,000,000 treasury notes , which led Itr. Hill to ask : "Is the amendment not as germane as It Is for a senator to discuss the Chinese ques tion In a tariff speech ? " Mr. Mills Insisted It would be a breach of the rights of the house to direct Its conferees to return the bill. At 2 o'clock the resolution and all pertain ing to It went over until tomorrow under the rules , and the senate proceeded to the consideration of executive business. The senate remained In executive session until 4:30 : p. m.f when It adjourned to to morrow at 12 o'clock. I'OOII TO UNGLAND. Milking I.Ui'ly Competition for HID Anu'rlciin runners. WASHINGTON , Aug. 10. The possibili ties of the refrigerating system of transportIng - Ing perishable articles of food arc set forth in an Impressed fashion In n report to the State department from Daniel Maratta , United States consul general at Melbourne. By a scientific application of this system , as yet In Its infancy In the United States , the Australian producers , though more dis tant from England by many thousand miles than American farmers , arc able to main tain a competition that grows more formida ble every year. Tlio report makes It evi dent that wo have to fear heavy Inroads on 6ur long cherished British market for pork and poultry and dairy products. The consul general gives a description of the Australian chilling system and some figures. Ho shows that the butter product exported during the last season amounted to $3,704- 736 , and will bo largely Increased. The butter arrives In England In excellent con dition and finds a ready market. Under tbe direction of the Agricultural department promising experiments are being made with the sterilizing s > stem , which produces butter that 'Will kfep perfectly In any climate. Nearly all the export butter Is now produced at central factories , and the farmers are paid for their milk , not by measure , but by its quality , or by Its results In pounds.of butter This system is giving the most thorough satisfaction. Considerable headway Is being made In the manufacture of export cheese under a bonus. The government Is also en couraging the production and export of as many as possible of the productions of the soli , the principal of which are pork , poul try , eggs , concentrated milk , green peas , etc. Shipments by refrigerators have already been made with promising results , and It has been found that green fruits can bo put In the market In good condition by using aerated chambers. 1IAVK lii.UIKUATii : ) UNOUQII. Snnntor Hill Suys the Tlmn to Do Some , thlni ; Him Arrived. WASHINGTON , Aug. 10. In explaining Ills course today , Senator Hill said : "My object In offering the resolution was to ox- pcdlto the disposition of the tariff. Hvory day's delay Is injurious to the business in terests of the country , and tha bill should bo disposed of at once one way or the other. It has now been In conference committee for over a. month , and further delay Is abso lutely Inexcusable. The conferees ought to know each others' minds by this time , and if they cannot agree the fact of such a dis agreement should bo reported to the two houses , when. If no understanding can bo reached upon n bill , congress should promptly adjourn and glvo the country orest. _ We have now been In ses.slgn for nearly a whole year and have had umple opportunity to legislate. A senator or member who does not know exactly what ho wants to do on the tariff question after all the time spent In useless deliberation is unfit to represent any constituency , Wo have deliberated enough ; wo want action. "Congress must arouse from Its lethargy and should act In accordance with the public sentiment and not lu defiance of It. Klther pass the tariff bill at once or adjourn and go homo. These are my sentiments , and 1 bolleva they are the sentiments of nlno- tenths of the people of all parties. " tuiiulry ci : ll 11111 In lli llo\ne , WASHINGTON , Aug. 10.

LINCOLN , Neb. , Aug. 10. ( Special to The Bee. ) The troubles at South Omaha have very probably settled In the negative the question of holding at Burlington Beach an encampment of the state militia for this year at least. All arrangements had been perfected , and the Indications were that the proposed outing of the boys would bo a most successful one , but by the time the strike Is settled there will be no money. The legislature made an appropriation of $25,000 for the Use of the guards. The object of this , It Is presumed , was to provide funds for the annual field exercises. There being no other funds at the disposal of the guards , this will have to bo nearly exhausted in providing transportation for the troops to and from South Omaha , and providing for their support while there.

As stated , the debt was al leged to be $20,000,000 , and as It was thought that the company would need some extra funds , provision was made for the Issuance of $24,000,000 of notes , and these notes were to bo secured by the pledge of every avail able assets w hlch the company could gather up. Into the trust thus formed were placed securities with an aggregate face value of $100,113,365 , and an estimated value of $11,312.335. The trust was formed In Sep tember , 1S91 , qnd by the end of that year , or within three months of the formation , there were Issued of the new notes US. 470.000 , and these notes were turned over to creditors to pay a debt of $17,140.000 , the difference bctwcon these two amounts , or $1,389,750 , was exacted by the creditors as a discount In advance. The total , or highest amount of the notes that has been Issued , Is $18- 710,000. and of this probably at least $1,500- 000 represents the discount or bonus. The result is that the Union Pacific made Its creditors a present of $1,500,000 , and then agreed to pay them tj per cent per annum , or 18 per cent during the three years , on the. amount thus presented. Or , to place tha facts differently , In 1891 the Union Pa cific owed $17,200,000 ; In 1S94 , If no part of the debt was redeemed In the mean time. that debt \vould be $18,700,000 , making the total payment at the end of the third year $22.06rtooo. Thus , In three years the bonus and Interest cost the company $ JSGfl- 000 , being an average of $1G22,000 per an num , and representing an annual cost equaling 9'i per cent of the original debt. SECURITY GILT EDGED. Judging from the enormous sacrifice which the company made , by thus submitting to the extortion of almost 10 per cent Interest , one might suppose that the security offered was \ery poor , and that the company had been forced by dire distress to seek help from a Shylock. It Is therefore somewhat sur prising to find that the security was par ex cellence. So good. Indeed , that after the terrible depreciation which has taken place in all securities during the past eighteen months , such financiers as compose the com mittee , viz : Messrs. Morgan , Stewart , Kiug. Anderson and Orr , declare that the collateral Is today more than adequate for the ultimate liquidation of the outstanding uotes. As a matter of fact , ( hero never wus a time during the history of this trust but what the collateral was so much more valua ble than the face of the notes , as to entitle It to the classification of "gilt-edge , " and consequently deserving of a very low. In stead of a very high rate of Interest. When the first $18,170,000 of notes were Issued , to pay aboul a $17.000,000 debt , the value of the collateral was $11,912,835. In August , 1893 , when the notes had been reduced to $11- 400,000 , the value of the collateral was $24- 663,910 , or more than double the debt. It is clear , therefore , that not only has the floating debt been well paid for In Interest , but It has been most excellently protected as to principal. But the bonus and Interest paid by the Union Pacific do not cover the total cost of the debt , for there have been some heavy sacrifices of value In the sales of collateral , the proceeds of which sales were used to re duce the outstanding notea. During 1893 the Union Pacific suffered a net loss of $926,630 , by reason of the collateral being sold for that much less than It had actually cost the company. That Is to say , collateral for which the Union Pacific paid almost ? 5,000,000 , was sold under this trust for about $1.000,000. Possibly the entire loss Incurred in the process of liquidating the $7,000,000 notes that have been paid , ag gregate not less than $2,000,000 , and In that event the original debt of $17,000,000 has cost the Union Pacific upwards of $7,000,000 In three years , or about 14 per cent per annum. Perhaps no one is surprised that a receiver was necessary under such condi tions , POWERS OF THE COMMISSION. What Is the condition of this trust today ? There are $11,000,000 of the notea still out standing. They are drawing G per cent interest , but are now -overdue. The Inter- estT however , Is being paid by the receivers , and , moreover , that Interest Is being paid in advance month by month. In view of this list named circumstance and also in consideration of the fact that the collateral Is deemed ample , the committee , a majority of whom are creditors who hold the notes , advise that note holders do not press the payment of the principal at present. This committee has almost unlimited powers of sale , and can close out the trust estate at no matter what risk to the company , If It so elect. Due- credit must be given to those who thus counsel at this time , for a forced sale of some of the stocks In the trust would In all probability result In the loss of control by the Union Pacific of some of Its branch lines. Not that this would bo much of a pecuniary loss to the Union Pa cific Hallway company , but It would cause endless confusion and entail future losses on the system. On the other hand , there are some very valuable stctirltles In the trust , such as the Pacific Express , and If these were to bo sold out before the Union Pacific reorganl/atlon committee is ready to buy them In the company would suffer serious loss , although the note holders would doubtless be paid In full. In regird to the cost of the loan It must bo noticed tint the notes can be bought up sometimes at a discount , and so the cost bo reduced. For Instance , for Hie notes re deemed In 1893 the amount paid by the company was $87,998 less than the face value. Thla amount was , however , de ducted from the above figures , hence the re sult Is changed but little by this Incident. There Is , on the other baud , a large expense upon the company for the payment of taxes on the notes , tor all the expenses of the trust , for commissions , for sales of collateral and for attorney fees , etc , etc EFFECT OF EXTENSION. The probable outcome will be an extension of the debt until a reorganization committee can take bold of the matter In proper shape , and then these notes will be cared for either by the holders waiting and participat ing In the plan for reorganisation , or In some syndicate taking them up to hold for the reorganization committee In the mean time the holders of the notes are getting their Interest ; they have good security , and have nothing to fear from any danger of the loan being declared Illegal.
