Whether or not this is a crime depends upon

SENATOR MILLER.
or Anti-Chinese Immigration Celebrity.

We give herewith an excellent portrait of
Senator John T. Miller, Of California, who
introduced the Chinese bill, which passed
the Senate and House Of Representatives,
but which has been vetoed by the President.
His services TO his continents in this con-
nection have greatly augmented Senator
Miller's popularity in California and brought
his name very prominently before the nation.
Mr.. Miller Is native of the State Of In
diana. He lived in comparative obscurity
until the period of the War, when he was
made provost marshal of Tennessee. Them.
as now, he was attached to the Republican
party. His removal to California was con-
sequent upon hi, appointment by President
johnson to the collectorship Of customs at
San Francisco. In this important Office he
gained the prestige which, in the course of
time, brought to him the leading distinction
of his life, thus far-that of representing
California in the Senate of the United States.
Senator Miller's term will not expire until
the year 1887, so that his efforts with respect
to the matter of Chinese immigration gives
him an advantageous opportunity TO make
himself great record as statesman during
his present incumbency of office, provided
he continues to show himself capable of
leadership and the conduct of legislation. 1t
should notbe forgotten, however, that the rep
resentatives of both the great political par
ties from the Pacific States are as one in their
endeavsrs to restrict Chinese immigration.

Governor Potts is taking long stick after
the railroads for not paying their taxes, and
writes the following letter Of inquiry to

Train Robbers Being CInchcd.

KANSAS CITY, March 3l.-Dlck Littles
confession is said to contain all the names
of the participants in the Gad's Hill, Lotter-
vile, Glendale, Winston and Blue Cut train
robberies, and in fact to be a complete ex-
posture of all the transactions of the James
gang, and gives his connection with it. It
was on his statements that Clarence Hite
was recently arrested in Kentucky, brought
to Gallatin, Missouri, and there sentenced
to twenty-five years in the penItentiary, for
participation in the Winston train robberies,
in which conductor Westfall was killed.
Little is said to have been concealed in this
city since his surrender, but nothing definite
can be learned about 1t. 1t is expected he
will testify in the case of Bugler at indie
pendence tomorrow, when perhaps further
facts will be brought out.
INDEPENDENCE, Mo-, March 31.-Dick
Little, the train robber, surrendered to the
authorities under the following conditions:
He was to receive immunity from punish
nent by the Governor, be paid $1,000 cash
Immediately upon giving himself up, and
receive 5000 more In the event Of five train
robbers at large being captured through his
fundamentally. Little has already received
$1,000 paid by police commissioner Craig.
Should the capture of Titles pals be effect
ed, Craig and Gov. Crittenden, between
whom the plan was evolved, will receive in
the neighborhood of 100000, the aggregate
amount of the rewards offered, minus the
5000 to be paid Little.

THE MORT HERN PACIFIC.
An Oficial Statement Concerning Construc-
ton and Prospects.

CHICAGO, April 1.-The approximate gross
earnings of the Northern Pacific railroad for
February were $269, 900, an increase of $780,
1876 for the same month last year. The COM
pany now operates $50 more miles of road
than in February, 1881. 1t now operates
972 miles Of track. For the first week in
March, 1882, the approximate gross earnings
were $94 200, an increase over the same peri
cd of 1881 of $55,9To.
The survey of the line between Kalama-
the terminus Of the Pacific dvision-and
Portland, to connect with the Oregon Rail-
way and Navigation Compauy's system, is
nearly finished and active construction will
commence about June LIST. This link be-
tween Kalama and Portland will give unin-
terrupted communication from Puget Sound
to Mssoula, Montana, distance of $40
miles, and will be done before January, 1883.
The Northern Pacific work of 1888 will be
confined to about POO miles of road in the
heart Of Montana.
The grading of the Rocky Mountain di-
vision will be completed as soon as its final
surveys are completed, about June, and the
division finished by the time the tunnels are
cut through. The Mullan tunnel of the
Rocky Mountains is $3.50 feet long. Two
Ingersoll drills are at work going in west
through solid rock and have penetrated six
hundred feet. Engineers propose to sink a
shaft from the summit of the mountain and
work west. The prospect Of conjunction
of the Utah and Northern with the Northern
Pacific will give the latter company facility
to lay track more rapidly than was expected
at the beginning. The survey for the line
from point in the Yellowstone valley to
the Yellowstone National Park is under
way, and as soon as the location is made,
work will begin. The road is expected TO
be in operation to Shields river about Au-
gust 18th, and to Bozeman by September LIST.
Preparations are made for the rapid extern
sion of various branches in Dakota and
Montana, five in number, and active work
will soon be renewed. Orders have been is
sued to complete the Castleton branch to the
boundary speedily. Of the Manitoba South
western, 50 miles are grading and the iron
will be down soon on 80 miles, and 80 miles
will be completed on or before June 1st.
This will meet the requirements Of the
Winnipeg road and enable it to cross the
boundary and connect with the Northern
Pacific. The system of roads from Fargo to
Winnipeg will probably be completed and
running by October 1st. Of the Wisconsin
division, twenty-five miles are ready for &C
ceptance by the Government, and two miles
are in operation along the water front of
Prices Point, in Superior City. The steel
bridge over the Missouri at Bismarck will be
finished in August.

EMPLOYMENT.

We fear that immigration Is larger at
present than Is finding speedy employment,
and the tide has just set In. Most Of tho
newcomers are laborers; few Of them have
any means after reaching here. At the
same time many persons are In need OF
Iaborers. We publish to-day E. L. Bonner
81 Co.'S notice for 300 axemen. That helps
some. Why should not others desiring
workmen advertise for them? And would
1t not be well II "Intelligence offices were
opened In each Of the principal towns where
employment could be negotiated? IL
would benefit both parties and pay. An
immigration MORE rapid than 1t can be alb
sorbed into industry and become self-sus-
tanning Ia mere disastrous than scarcity OF
labor, and affects all economies of the CON-
munlty. The public enterprises now In
progress win furnish temporary employ.
ment to many, but the reliance Is In agricul-
tural aud other permanent work. Those
who can give employment should make Il
known and the best method is by adyertis'
Ing or through an Intelligence Office.

THE UNION PACIFIC,
Annual Report to the Stockholders Of the
Company.


NEW YORK, March 30.-Sidney Di,len's
annual report of the affairs of the Union
Pacific Railroad for 1881 has been made TO
the stockholders. The statement President
Dillon makes of the condition and prospects
of the read is very tiattering, and will M
doubtedly have tendency to add strength
TO Union Pacific stocks in the speculative
markets. The gross earnings fer 1881 were
S24, SIS: operating expenses, including
taxes, ST., 4S0,342, leaving balance Of Sill
7TS,496. The added dividends and interest
collected on investment securities, amount
ing to 81 1885,, GTS, makes the total earnings
above operating expenses and taxes, $l3,-
Ill, 1853. The funded debt OF the company
now amounts to s92, 902, 1856. From this the
amount of SIC, 7s4, sol, held by the trustees
Of the consolidated mortgage, must be de-
Quoted. The stock and bonds of the COM
pany are now sought for as an investment,
and Mr.. Dillsn says that all on hand could
readily be disposed Of should K be for the
company's interest to sell.
The operating expenses last year were
51.45 per cent of the gross earnings. This
expense is an increase of $1,936,223 over
that of 1880, bat is accounted for by the
purchass.of steel in place of iron rails $780,
900; repairs of track, s245,oo0; and repairs
of rolling stock, S394,0O0 These expendi-
tur6, aggregating 81 ,241 900, increase the
efficiency of the road, and will materially
lessen the expenses of operating it in future.
BY deducting this amount the operating ex-
.penses in 1881 become .63 per cent less than
in 1880. The earnings of the road were as
follows: From passengers, s., 131 ,571, a de-
crease of $273,553, and from freight, ST.
063, 127, an increase of 81 ,s44,6 19. The de-
crease in passenger earnings, Mr.. Dillon
says, was caused mainly by the reduction of
80 per cent in LEGAL rates, made in pursuance
of the settled policy Of the company to fos-
ter the development of the country along
the line of the road. The increase in
freight receipts is attributed to the number
of connecting roads. OF all the freight re-
ceipts, the through tonnage from the Pacific
coast contributed u per cent. The extern
sions in connecting roads during the year
were sos miles.
In conclusion Mr.. Dillon says: "The
branch lines controlled by this company
have brought large revenue directly to the
company. The results already accomplish
ed give the strongest assurance that the pro-
lection of yeur interest required their con-
struction, and by their maintenance under
your control these lines will become still
greater sources of profit from the business
passing over them, and to the Union Pacific
line they will contribute vast amount OF
traffic that might be diverted to rival routes"

REFERRING TO the same subject as written
up by the London contributor to the NEW
NORTHWEST and published in this issue,
the London correspondent Of the Salt Lake
Tribune says: "The people are Jumbo-mad.
The shop windows are full of Jumbo. There
Is the Jumbo march, arranged for the piano
forte; his fame is sung in the concert halls,
and illustrated penny histories of Jumbo are
being sold in the streets. The photographs
and wood-cuts adorn the windows OF enter
prising tradesmen, and Jumbo scarf-pins
usurp the place Of the penny flower in the
coats of the lah-de-dah. The whole is
farce, but hope Jumbo will live TO pay a
visit to Salt Lake City,"
