WASHINGTON. Oct. 9. Attorney General
McKcnna 'today Issued an official statement
Announcing that the ftovurnmcnt had decided
nut to uppeal the Union Puclflc foreclosure
milt , but to allow the read to bo sold on
November 1 , In consideration ot the Union
Pacific reorganization committee raising Its
bid from $ luTGSOS3 to $ & 0UOO,000. The
road , he arldcd , Is to bo sold to the highest
bMdcr , but with a minimum bid cuaiiitiu-eJ
an stated.
The attorney general gave out the follow
ing statement relative to the sale ot the
Union Paclllc railroad :
"There seems to bo a misapprehension of
the actlou of the previous administration in
rognnj to the Pacific railroads. There was
no agreement to sell the roads or the sink
ing fund of the Union Pacific.
NO FORMAL' AGRKKMENT.
"In consideration of the appearance of
the United States In the foreclosure proceed
ings already commenced and the prosecution
ot Us o.vn mortgage It was guaranteed a bidet
ot $15,751,05999 at the sale which should be
ordered by the court over and above the
amount of the first mortgage. This amount
Included the sinking fund and was based on
( in estimate of par for 'the ' sinking fund and
$23,000.000 lu addition. There wus no formal
agreement. It consisted ot letters between
the reorganization committee aud special
3 counsel of the government and Attorney Gen
eral Harmon , all of which were published In
senate document 83 , Fifty-fourth congress ,
Boconcl session , The agreement , as 1 have
nUil ; , guca no farther than to provide fnr
the appearance of the government In suits
brought for the foreclosure ot thu first mort
gage bonus and bringing suit fur foreclosure
of Us own. . '
"The sale of the property was to bo ( and
must neccbaarlly be ) by the direction of the
court , uu In other foreclosure emits , with the
whole world for bidders.
"Tho appearance was made and the suits
Instituted as agreed before the advent of the
previous administration. This administra
tion , therefore , had to accept and has en
deavored to secure such decrees as It be
lieved thu government , under the laws in
corporating the railroads , was entitled to.
"It may tie disputed aa to whether the
agreement to go Into court should have been
made. It Is not disputable as to what the
government , after 'It was in court , could do.
Thtiro , like any other suitor , the government
was subject to the orders of the court. 1
mean , of course , subject to the orders of the
court as c-rudltors. As sovereign Its powers
could not be affected and have not been by
me decrees We think , therefore , that the
action of ilia government In the situation
Iti very plain. It has not sold Us Interests.
It has enabled nil Interests to be sold at
public auction to the reorK4niz.ulon commit
tee or to any comndttee or to anybody or
assocUtlou which or who may bid the high
est.
ENDORSED HY RECEIVERS.
"In what I have said I do not mean to
Imply crltlcUm of the previous administra
tion. What It did It no doubt did on ma
ture reflection and in ulncerest Judgment
and Its action was recommended by both
the receivers who had been appointed upon
the application of the United States and was
also unanimously recommended by tae live
government directors.
"Now as to the relation ot the government
to the decrees. They as rendered were In
many respects gratifying exceedingly so
1 but In other respects wcro not as the gov
ernment strenuously contended for. For In
stance , the Omaha bridge mortgages , amount
ing to about $1.200,000. were adjudged to bo
superior to the lien of thu government on
that part of the road between Omaha and
Council Itluffs , and In addition the money
and assets In the hands of the receivers ac
cruing from the operation of the roads were
ordered to bo sold Instead of being reserved
1o meet a deficiency judgment expected to
bu obtained by the government. This
amounted to mare than $2.000.000. This , of
course , would become Important If the nrlce
1ml at the sale should not ciiual the govern
f ment's lien.
"Dlssatlstlcd with the decrees therefor ,
the government considered the propriety of
nn appeal nnd had Indeed prepared the pa
pers for such appeal. The reorganization
commltteo learning this , came forward with
an Increased bid of over $4.000,000 , making
the total of their guaranteed bid ? , r > 0,000,000
Instead ot $45,76,059.'J3. ! , an Increase of
S 1,215,9 U.
"This Increceo removed tbo objections to
the decrees so far as the money contentions
wcro concerned. In nil else the decrees
were just and satisfactory. Under these clr-
cumutances an appeal did not seem justllled.
"Regarding a higher hid , the prospect of
It seems ns great now as It would be later.
Thise considerations determined the govern
ment. It must bo remembered that the gov
ernment's lien la a second ono subject to a
flrst mortgage of J33.000.000. The advantage
It has secured , therefore. Is , to repeat somewhat -
what , that at the sale under the decrees of
foreclosure there will bo a bid for the roads
of $50,000,000 over and above the flrst mort
gage , besides the benelit of absolute freedom

The 1'ymmld Pile Cure , the now , painless
remedy which has been BO remarkably suc
cessful in curing every form of piles ant !
rectal diseases , 'has recently been placed on
ralo at druggists , and It Is safe to say thit :
when Its extraordinary merit becomes fully
known , there wilt bo no such thing as surgi
cal operations for the euro of this obstinate
and common trouble ,
Mrs. M. C. Hlnkly of GDI Mississippi St. ,
Indianapolis , Ind. , says : I had been a tcr-
rlblu sufferer from piles fnr fifteen years and
no remedies bonflflttcd mo until I P.V.V an
advertisement of the Pyramid Pllo Cure ; 1
got a package , also a package of Pyramid
Pills and used bath according to directions.
I \vnb astonlohod at the immediate relief
obtained nnd now I honestly believe the
Pyramid to be the only certain euro for
piles.
That you may realize how bad I was , I
will siy that I was confined to my bed and
went before the college physicians here , who
said my cast * was a now ono to them anO
wanted seven or eight hundred dollars tn un
dertake a cure ; the great pain had brcuishl
on a rupture , and I know an operation would
be death to nit ? on account of blood poisoning.
Nearly every ono hero knows of my terrible
suffering from piles and I feel that I cannot

my daughter was cured by ono box only.

NEW YORK , Oct. 9. The republican
municipal nominations were ratified tonight
at a mass meeting at Cooper Union. 13very
scat In the big hall was occupied aud the
assemblage was a very orderly ono. The t-.ev-
eral candidates as they made their nppcar-
anco on the platform were received with
cheers. Senator Joseph n. Foraker of
Ohio was the principal speaker.

during Mr. Foraker's speech was the wild
cheers that broke out among tlie audience
when the speaker mentioned Henry George.
The body of the hall was well filled with
George men , who broke out like mad at the
mention of his name. As thu chrnrlng was
subsiding there were a few hlstes. At the
mention of Seth Low the occupants of the
auditorium broke out Into cat calls , biases
and shrieks of derision. "Traitor , " "llack-
sllder" and "Mugwump" were howled again
and again. General Tracy's name evoked
general enthusiasm aud ho was cheered by
the entire assemblage. IIu spoke at length
and was well received.
The leaders of the united democracy and
the democratic alliance who flrst nominated
Henry George were furious this morning over
their desertion by him , but ihc George lead
ers say these organization's will remain In
line. A meeting held tonight by members of
the two organizations to protest agalntt the
committee's action did little but cheer fnr
Henry George. At a meeting ot the demo
cratic city committee Randolph Guggen-
helmer , a millionaire lawyer , was nominated
to take the place on the Tammany ticket va
cated by Jacob Huppert , jr. , nominee for
president of the council , who resigned.

His trousers had been originally of line
material and .his shoes were thin , soled and

tin kettle. The man was so far demented
that ho could not tell his name , from what
place he had come , or how long he had been
out In the wilderness where he was found.
Although the weather was extremely cold
and snow was occasionally falling he had
been sleeping out without shelter and with
only the clothes described. Ho had been

FOUT AVASHAKIE. Wyq , , Oct. 9. ( Spe

Indian pupils of the Shcshono agency , says
the Indians of Uio Shoshone rcaervatlon have
accomplished this year what the pessimists
have up to the present time declared was
Impossible. They have Bupplled the entire
wood contract for Fort Washakio , the agency
and school , consisting of 2,075 cords ; they
have put In the entire contract of hay at the
fort , amounting to 800,000 pounds ; their oats
and wheat are now being harvested , so that
they will supply the fort and agency with
760,000 pounds of oats and the agency and
school with 585,000 pounds of wheat , and
have plenty left for seed and extra rations
for themselves. In addition to thU they
have a good crop ot potatoes , cmfllclcnt for
their needs after supplying the post contract.
This is the first year In the history of theao
Indians that they have been able to supply
the entire contract. During the season Just
closed they planted moro seed than their
cntlro crop amounted to In 1894 and that
year was heralded as 'a ' step forward ,

BADGER , Wyo. , Oct. 9. ( Special. ) Dur
ing the past three months large bands of
sheep , aggregating 75,000 head , have been
trailed through the northern part of Lara-
rale county , going from Douglus to Fort
Laramlo , and from thcnco on Into Nebraska.
As a. result the range , which has been de
pended upon for winter feed for cattle , has
been devastated , and the cattlemen are en
tertaining gloomy fears for the coming win
ter. The sheep arc still coming , a band of
5,000 having been driven from Glendo to
Lkulger today. The men trailing them re
ceived rough treatment from the cattlemen
between1 Douglas and the Horseshoe dis
trict. They were forced to keep moving for
two days und nights without being allowed
to water their stock. The cattlemen are
preparing to resist the encroachment ot the
sheepmen upon their ranges , and are sup
plying themselves with cartridges for their
rifles. They have fenced up portions of the
range leading to the water gaps , and If the
sheepmen tear down these barriers , as they
threaten to do , there will be serious trouble.
It Is estimated that nearly 1,000,000 head of
sheep have been trailed Into Wyoming dur
ing the past summer from Oregon and Idaho.
Many of these sheep were shipped by rail
from Casper to the Nebraska feeding grounds ,
but a largo number have been trailed the
entire distance.
A ranchman living on Horseshoe creek
when asked about the sheep Invasion said :
"Matters are beginning to look desperate for
stockmen owning ranches along the newly
established eheop trail from Casper to Ne
braska , and unless the sheepmen are checked
their Block will bo trailed backward and for
ward across this trail through the central
portion of Wyoming ar. < l through Ita flnest
grazing grounds. Should this become the
established route , the ranges lying adjacent
to the trail will be completely destroyed
and the ranchmen of the doomed district
will ho eaten out of house and homo. Tfie
tioublo has become so serious 'that ' the ranch
men between Douglas and Glendo are ready
to take desperate measures. Most of the
water gaps along the high bluffs of the
Platte rlvor are leased or owned by the
ranchmen Wo are going to lease or take up
the remaining gaps and if the sheepmen at
tempt ito get to the water across our lands
they will have to pass the muzzles of hostile
rifles. If wo hold the water gaps the aheep-
mcn will bo unable to get water iln Ihls part
of the country and will bo forced to abandon
the -trail ami will send their sheep by rail
from Casper to Nebraska. "
