The onion Pacific,s Answer.

BosToE, May 3.--Sidney Dillon, In long
letter to Secretary Teller in reply to the lat
ter request tor payment Of per centage Of the
net earnings OF the Uuion Pacific, states that
the amount due the road for postal service will
largely exceed the demands Of the Govern
ment. The compensation for services rendered
for the United States, together with the sum
by section required to be paid amount to %
per cent Of the whole net earnings Of the rail-
road company for the year ending the 3ist Of
December next preceding. To determine what
will constitute 25 per cent of the net earnings
the'amouut due for postal service must be
certained, aud the question is still pending for
judicial determination as 10 rates which shall
constitute reasonable compensation. Any
claim, therefore, Of the Government for imme-
diate payment under the Thurman act must
be based either upon conjecture or upon a rate
of allowance for postal service fixed by the
Post Office Department which the Supreme
Court has rejected, or upon the allowance for
service ut express rates as claimed By the COM
pany On the latter basis there is balance in
favor OF the road of over $3.50, 900 600 sum
greatly in excess Of that claim by tho Govern
ment, and it seems hardly reasonable to re-
quire the company TO pay until this controver-
sy ia settled

THE HILL INVESTIGATION.

Secretary Folger's Reply TO Mr.. Murch.
WASHINGTON, May s.-Secretary Folger to-
day addressed letter to Mr.. L. II. Murch in
charges against Supervising Architect Hill Of
which the following is copy:
Il have the honor TO acknowledge the re-
eeipt Of your communication of the first instant
IN which you object TO the placing of Mr.. AL
exander upon the committee investigating af-
fairs IN the Supervising Architects office in
the Treasury Department One objection is
that his absence for 10 or II days will delay the
Investigation that length OF time. do not
think that it need do that, as the testimony
will be taken by stenographer. The other
two members Of the committee can proceed In
taking the testimony, which can be read by
Mr.. Alexander on his return, with the same,
or nearly the same effect as II he we're present
and heard it delivered orallg. Another obiec-
tion Is that the Fifth Auditor OF the Treasury
That is an error. The auditors of this depart
ment are not snbordinates Of the assistant sec.
retaries They are suhcrdinates only of the
head Of the department, In no manner is the
Fifth Auditors office attached to or under the
special control of or subordinate to either as
sistant secretary. Inasmuch, then, as the rea-
son OF your objection falls. think the objec-
tion must fail also. i shall continue Mr.. Al
exander upon the committee. His absence is
temporary, as l have before suggested and
need not delay the investigation. The other
two members of the committee can start upon
it at once l would respectfully ask that you
signify as soon as possible when you will be
ready to proceed.
Very respectfully yours,

SAN Francisco, May 3.-News Of the burn
Ing q the steamer Grapple was brought to
Monaino, B. O., by John McAllister. She
was burned four miles off Seymour Narrows on
sunday night, at 10 o'clock. The fire was dis
covered by the engineer, who Immediately re-
ported the fact to the captain. The 100 pas
sengera, principally Cinnamon, were all in
bod. The engineer started the donkey engine,
and connected the hose. At this time the pas
sehkefB had been warned, and the excitement
was intense. The Cinnamon behaved like
manlaos. They were utterly uncontrollsble,
ane seriously imneded the action of the off
GERS, The captain ordered all shot who refug-
eu % obey orders Notwithstanding this the
cinnamon rushed back and forward on the
vessel until IL was found necessary 10 throw
down some and carry below others ironed. All
TINS nme the fire was gaining, and efforts TO
eontrel II were unavaiing. The captain or
derea Nilot Franklin to head the steamer for
Vancouver shore, aud beach her. AS soon as
tac vessel struck siie sand. the boats were
lowered. The excitement was now so great
that number OF the Cinnamon jumped ffst.s-
the boats and swamped them. Owing 10 the
intense smoke those who could swim did not
know in which direction TO strike out, and SUR
rounded by mass OF struggling Cinnamon,
were drowned.
