The Great Northern Railroad Pool.
New York, Feb. 2s.-The Times Chi
cago dispatch has the details of the
pooling consolidation of the Union Pa
cific, Kansas Pacific and Colorado Cen
tral railroads. 1t is arranged that the
receiver of the Kansas Pacific shall re-
tire, and the Union Pacific assume con-

give the Union Pacific the upper hand,
either by lease, purchase or otherwise,
of the Kansas Pacific, and allow the
former road to have voice in the man.
agement and control of its freight and
passenger arrangements.
The principal inducement to this ar
rangement is the speedy extension of
the Colorado Central from Georgetown
to Leadville. and thence to Arizona by
way of this san Juan silver mines. The
Union Pacific assumes the indebted
ness of the Kansas Pacific, and carries
with it the right to control the Kansas

with the receivership. The terms of
this arrangement will be ratified at a
meeting of the Union Pacific directors.

Washington, Feb. 28.-The cabinet
session to-day was mainly devoted to
the discussion,,of the Chinese question.
There is no doubt that the views of the
president are strongly to the effect that
absolute necessity exists why he should
veto the bill. In taking this ground,
it is also said upon excellent authority,
that the president is sustained by the
entire cabinet. The indications are
that the veto message will be prepared
without delay and sent to congress.
A gentlemen holding close official rela-
tions with the president intimates that
different result of the presidents
consideration of the bill might have
happened, but for the senate amend
ments abrogating the clauses of our
treaty with China. The veto message
on the Chinese bill will be sent to Con-
gress tomorrow. Unquestionable Of
fetal authority is given for the state
ment that 1t is not simply matter of
inference, but positive fact that the
bill will be vetoed.

The Pension Appropriation Bill.
Washington, Feb. 28.-After passing
a number of appropriation bills ON the
calendar the bill making an appropria-
tion for the payment of arrears of PEN
sion was taken up.
The pending question being on the
amendment of Ingalls,, providing for
the division Of the country into IS dis
tricts, and appointment of surgeons,
pension clerks, etc., with view TO the
prevention of frauds on the pension
bureau. Ingalls, said his belief was
that 10 or 20 per cent. of all pensions
were improperly paid. The amendment
would prevent frauds.
Bailey submitted an amendment pro-
viding that the pension surgeons and
pension clerks contemplated by the
amendment OF Ingalls,, be appointed by
the president by and with the advice of
the senate, instead of the secretary of
the interior. Agreed to.
Edmunds denied that 20 per cent. of
the pensions paid were fraudulent.
The question was then taken on the
first eight sections of the amendment
proposed by Ingalls,, relating to pension
surgeons and clerks, and they were re-
jected; yeas 2s, nays SO.
The next section, providing that
pension shall commence from the death
nrr dicobarn fro,,, oa.,,;oo oto 100,
amended by Herman SO as to read,
from the death or from the time of
actual disability" so that the pension
shall commence from the death or ac-
tual disability, providing the applica-
cation be made prior to July /. 1880.
Agreed to.
Oglesby moved to amend so as to in
sert 1885 instead of 1880. Rejected.
Morrill, submitted an amendment au-
thorizing the secretary Of the treasury
to issue four per cent. bonds, not ex-
ceeding SIS, ,OOO, 900, or in lieu thereof to
issue certificates of deposits authorized
by the act of Feb. &c, 10, and the
proceeds Of said bonds or certificates to
be applied to the payment of pension
arrears.
Pending discussion, the vice PRESIDENT
laid before the senate the house bill to
amend the revised statutes of the
United States with respect to the in
terest on surrendered or called bonds.
Edmunds objected to its second read
ing. Laid aside.
Window moved that the senate take
u recess till s O'Clock. Carried.
After recess the senate resumed con-
sideration of the arrears pension bill.
Tho senate voted on and disagreed
to the amendment of Morrill,; yeas 10,

sion bill, the senate adjourned until

Chicago Times.

From the proceedings Of recent
meeting Of anti-polygamists at Salt
lake it appears that the Mormons are
not all inclined to submit to the law
Iof the country as defined in the recent
decision Of the Supreme Court The
resolution adopted by the meeting af
firm that John Taylor, the present
head Of the church, still denies the
right Of Congress TO legislate and Of
the courts to execute laws against his
religion embodied in the institution
Of polygamy. Since the decision was
rendered, it is added, one Of Brigham
loung's sons has married fifth wife
several other dignitaries among the
Saints have signalized their contempt
for the law by contracting polyga-
nous marriages, and there is not the
slightest Indication Of desire or
willingness to let the peculiar inst.
tuition OF Utah peaceably die out. Ii
these allegations are true, there 10 but
one course Tor the Government. The
law will have to be enforced. The
means Of it's enforcement must be pro-
vided by, Congress, aud this provision
should be made without delay. There
is no disposition to insist upon the
perciless enforcement of the law
against past olfenses, if the Mormons
can persuade themselves to be of good
conduct for the future But they must
understand that the same force which
crushed out one OF the twin relies of
barberis;n" will be unhesitatingly ex-
erted to destroy the other if miider
measures cannot accomplish the task
The matter should receive the immedi-
ate attention Of Congress and the Adj
ministration.

.IaHN TAyIoR president Of the twelve
Mormon apostles, and virtually Brig
ham Young's successor, has been in
tervicwed on the subject Of polygamy
and the recent Supreme Court decis-
ion relating thereto. Apostle Taylor
is one Of the coarse-grained polyga-
mists who regards the harem as the
inalenablc right Of all good Mormons
aud the beginning aud end Of his re-
ligion. Although his answers we're
evasive. the impression conveyed was
that the Norman leaders consider the
decision Of the court in the Reynolds
case as unconstitutional and will treat
it as void. Practical evidence that
this is their defiant attitude is also af-
forded by the fact that plural marri-
ages still continue to be celebrated

Growth OF Roys ana Girls.

The results of d Systematic meas
uremeht Of the pupils Of the public
schools Of Boston show, among Other
things, that the growth of children
takes place III such way that until
the age Of even or twelve years,
boys are both taller aud heavier than
girls Of the same age; at this period
OF life girls begin to grow very rapid
y. and for the next two or three
years surpass boys Of the same age
both in height and weight; boys then
acquire AND retain size superior to
that 81 girls, who have completed
their growth. Again, The children of
American born parents were found to
be taller and heavier than those of for
eign born "a superiority seemingly
dependent partly o. tie greater aver
age conf RI ia which such children
live and ,grpw up, and partly upon
differences Of race or stock Pupils Of.
American parentage at the public
Latin school and the lnstitut OF Tech
nolosy, showed-appareutly for the
same reasons-superior height and
weight to the generality Of boys Of
American parentage attending the
public schools; and pupils of the same
selected schools were also taller and
heavier than English boys of the non
laboriug classes attending public
schools and universities.
