SALE OF CENTRAL PACIFIC Move that Means a Treat Deal to Western Railroads , INTERESTS INVOLVED IN THE MOVE Soiillirrn I'm-1 Mo nnil Union Pacific Ilolli IIU1 > d llhl for the Strip from to Onltlniiil. The recently published Interview of Collls P. Huntlngton , president of the Southern Pa cific company , to the effect that his company would be found as an active bidder for the Central Pacific railroad whenever the fore closure silo of that prcucrty should take place , has created no small amunt of Inter est In the future of that Invaluable line ex tending from Ogdcn , Utah. Ic Sacramento. Cal. . and holding the key to the railway sit uation of the great state of California. Com ment on HIP probable dlspssltlca of the Cen tral Pacific rallrcad his been rife In Union Pacific circles for some time , for the Interest of the one- road vitally concerns that of the other. These who have been brought close to the present admlnlstiatlon of the govern ment declare that the reorganization of the Union Pacific , the Kanoas Pacific rnd the CentMl Pacific ral roads , all of which have . Icon heavily aided by the government and j l.ave given to the government many pcr- I plcxlng problems In the last quarter of n ( century , Is the most ardirit hope nnd wish of President McKlnlcy and his cabinet. In a remarkably prompt and buslness-llko fashion the foreclosure sale of the Union Pacific has been hc.d , and the leorganlz.t- tlon of that road Is now nearly complete The foteclosurc sale of thp Kansas Pacific has been set for the middle of next month and It will take place then un cs-s congress should Interfere , and there ha * so far been no Indication that it would To wind up the relations existing between the government and the Central Pacific , the third of the bond-aided railroads , Is said to be a con summation devoutly wished by the adminis tration and , therefore , meet likely to occur at no distant date- . OPINION OF AN' OFFICIAL A prominent railroad official said to The UPC "I believe foreclosure proceedings In the case of the Central Pacific will EOOII fol low the reorganisation of the Union Pacific. Ono can easily see what a feather It would bo In the cap of the McKlnley administra tion to bring about the settlement of the | government's embarrassing relations with I I's bond-aided railroads. H would bo no j prcat surprise to me If the same syndicate | that purchased the Union Pacific should be found bidding at the sale of the Central Pa cific. There U > an enormous amount of Eng lish and Dutch capital represented In the syndicate that has purchased the Union Pa cific , and It could afford to bid high for a strip of railroad that would be the means of giving it an entrance Into California , com pleting the greatest transcontinental rail- load In America. Yes I see .Mr Huntlngton ays that ho will bid high against the gov ernment when the foreclosure sales compi along , but I think that statement was pretty much of a bluff. The Southein Pacific is not the owner of the Central Pacific ; It is merely the lessee and manager To be sine , the loss of tha Central Pacific would bo keenly felt bythe Southcin Pacific , but I doubt If the owners of IMo Southern Pacific are In any position to bid against the owners of the Union Pacific If the goveinment should ever let the Centiul Pacific go to. a sale. The pecole of California would most heartily welcome the Union Pa cific or any other ne.v line there , and there is today , as there has Lce i for some time , a standing bonus of $3,000,000 In San Fmnclsco to the first new transcontinental railroad that would enter there I believe this bonus would go a long way toward inducing the Union Pacific to take the Central Pacifia and then do the necessary building to get Into ? an Francisco. " INUCBTEDNCSS OF THE LINK. As shown In the report of the comm'ssloner ' of railroads to the secretary of the interior for the fiscal yean ending June 30 , 1896 , the total Indebtedness of the Central Pacific , In cluding the Wcs1 ern Pacific , was as follows. Principal of bonds Issued , $27,855,680 ; in terest accrued , ? 46,533,478 98 ; credits , ? 1C- 170,140.56 ; bilanco of debt , $18,282,009 4. . The Central Pacific Hullroad company was formeJ wi August 22 , 1870 , by the consolidation of tie Central Pacific , the California & Ogden , the San Francisco , Oakland & tAlameda , m > J the San Joaquln Valley railroad companies. The company's road Is now operated by the Southern Pacific , under a lease dated Jan uary 1 , 1891 , to run for mlncty years. Dy Its terms the Southern Pacific company paya from the earnings all expenses of operations , fixed and otncr charges , including sinking fund and United States requirements , and $10,000 yearly for organisation expenses. The Central Pacific receives net earnings up to C per cent ot the stock , all ovcsss being equally divided be tween the two companies. Holding , as It docs , the key to Iho transcontinental rail way situation , so far as California Is con- ccined , the Central Pacific has long been regarded as ono of the most valuable railway properties In the world. The proceedings leading up to Its foreclosure sale- will bo watched with even more Interest than those of the Union Pacific , and the struggle for its possession Is likely to bring out a number of stiong blddcis when that valuable strip of railroad shall bo placed upon the auctioneer's block by order of the federal court. ovn Tiiors VM > Lvi'ii.v nvvs. r.ll'ei't of ( lie < Inter In 'Itcunril ' lo I'lllou I'liclllf Shop 'I line.

W H. Thurbur Is one of the stockmen having the movement In hand , and lit mid to be meeting with considerable suc cess.

The notion of the Unite * ! States senate yesterday In passing Senator Allen's bill to appropriate $45,000 for nn Indian ex hibit by the general government was the cause of a great rejoicing on the part of the cxporltlon management. While the passage of the iblll by the senate la not a posttlvo Indication that Uic house will also pass It , there Is a , general feeling that the stamp of approval of the measure at the- hands of the senate \\lll exert a powerful Inllnenco on tha house and do much to as sure the final patpago of the act. If this bill becomes a law It will make possible the grandest nnd most Instructive ethnological exhibit over attempted. Tlic purpot'eof the bill Is to enable the proper de partments of the federal go\eminent to maki an exhibit showing the development of the American Indian , the exhibition to be undo at Oirciha during the coming jcar.

President Wattles Is a'eo greatly pleased nt the news of the senate's action He has been \ery enthusiastic in his sunport of the Idea and has taken great palna to nrouec In terest In the Qtmrtcis where the most geol could result.
