THE UNION PACIFIC.
An Interview With the Secretary of the
Interior.

Charles Francis Adams, representing
the Union Pacific railroad company, with
the chief book-keeper Of the company, had
an interview on the 18th with the secretary
of the interior and the commissioner Of
railroads in regard to the report upon the
financial condition of the company, pre-
pared by experts for transmission to the
judiciary committee of the senate. Rep
resentatives of the Union Pacific rail-
road company asserted that the report
did not correctly represent the finan
cial condition of the company, and the Sec
Rotary, after hearing their arguments, de-
cided that the report should in some re-
spects be modified.
Secretary Teller has notified the govern
ment experts to report to the Union Pacific
company, and the officials of the road now
declare themselves better satisfied. The
point of difference is understood to be that
the experts failed to place among the assets
certain amounts due the company. The
counsel for the railroad, it is said, convinced
Secretary Teller that these sums are clearly
assets, hence the modification. The report,
as modified, will be considerably more
favorable to the road than the original
draft.

EUROPEAN DIFFICULTIES.
The Situation in Egypt a Subject Engross-
ing Much Attention.

M. Waddington, French ambassador
to London. had a long private conference
with Gladstone on the l4th. The fact
caused much speculation in newspaper cir
Giles, and extraordinary efforts have been
made to ascertain what TRANSFERRED at the
meeting. 1t has been learned from good
authority that at least one thing was de.
cided on: 1t was agreed and arranged that
Gladstone and Prime Minister Ferry should
make similar and simultaneous statements,
the former to the house of commons, the
latter to the French chambers, concerning
mutual understanding arrived at by the
respective governments concerning the at
titude they have agreed with each other to
assume at the coming conference of powers
upon the Egyptian question. 1t was de-
cided to make these statements either
Thursday or Friday.
There can be no doubt that public opinion
In England is bitterly hostile to the arrange
ment with France, because Englishmen gen.
orally believe 1t to be secured by concessions
derogatory to the national honor and pres.
tige of England. On one hand, the French
people are equally opposed to the arrange
ment, because they believe France did not
obtain as much as her allowance. In the
rural districts of France the belief is crow
ing that Gladstone has practically outwitted
the French cabinet and secured an alliance
for the conference, the purpose of which is
certain to be resisted by Germany, and to
bring new trouble upon the republic. The
belief is theoretically stimulated by Ferry's
enemies, and is finding robust expression
in the provincial press.

The Soul of Honor.

Virginia City Chronicle.
1t is extremely refreshing to notice
the fine sense of honor possessed by
some OF the rising generation in Vir-
ginia City. Last evening two youths,
each aged about IA, met on G street,
when the following dialogue took place:
81 say, Bill, you got my knife" ''No,
I amt" "'Pon yer word?'' "'Pon
me word" "'Pon yer soul?" "'Pon
me soul" slope you may die if you
have?" "Hope 1 may die if have"
"You amt got my knife?" 81 ain'tgot
your knife" The querist seemed to be
still incredulous, but was on the point
of giving it up in despair, when bright
idea occurred to him and he returned to
the attack with: "'Pon yer honor?''
sOh," said the other, s'now you touch
me honor, take your DANCED old knire,"
and he handed the article over. "Well
done, Bill" said his chum; 81 allue
knowed you was honorable chap

New York Sun.
ssThere are more beautiful women
among the shop girls of New York
than there are among the avenues"
said policeman abruptly as group of
dashing looking women passed. "You
can see some of them on Broadway !;
but the place to catch them in shoals is
down on the East side. Whenever I
have any friends come over to see me
from out of town, or whenever my
business makes it necessary for me to
show. some one around the city, which
occasionally happens, I take the visitor
down on the East side. In the course
of seventeen years I have steered
good many men down on East Broad
way, and [ never yet failed to amaze
them by the crowds of handsome
women. The best way to see them is
to start along Grand street from the
Bowery about half-past four o'clock in
the afternoon, take the south side of the
street, and follow 1t east as far as East
Broadway; there you will see hundreds
of girls that will make you gasp for
breath. There are faces more beauti-
full than any you ever see on Broadway,
and figures that no man can find fault
with. After you turn into East Broad
way and proceed downward you will
catch the diamond in the rough. You
will see girls there almost in rags who
are more beautiful than any girl you
can find in New York above Fourth
street, I don't care who she is. They
live in the tenement houses and over
the shops along Broadway. 1t is
social quarter-every one knows every
one else, and the women are taken up
with the gossip of the neighborhood.
s'The girls don't know much when
you come to talk with them, and their
ideas about sladies'-.they won't talk of
nothin' else but ladies' you know
would make you smile. They work
late and work hard. Their fun consists
in sitting on the front steps at night,
walking arm in arm up the block, and
going to occasional picnics and cheap
excursions. We know them to be the
best girls in the city. This is because
they amt educated above their station,
and because they live with their fam
lies. They are the beauties of New
York ;,

sponded. superintendent Calvert and As
sistant Superintendent McDonniff went on
special at a. M, and the wounded were
taken to Wymore at q. m. The wounded
conductor was sent to Atchison on a spe-
cial.
Investigation showed that the fsh.plate
had been removed from the joint of the
middle bridge and the spikes pulled out,
and barbed wire sixty feet long was passed
through the bridge and to the bank. The
perpetrators had waited until the train ap-
preached and pulled the rail from its place.

The Mexican Treaty.

In the report accompanying the bill
to carry into effect the NJ Xican treaty, pre-.
pared by A. S. Hewitt and reported from
the ways and means committee, the COM
mittee says Mexico is the gate through
which this country will find its connections
with Central and South America. The
time has already arrived when we must
adopt continental policy, laying its foun-
dations broad and deep in the mutual in
terests of intimate commercial and political
sympathies. The Monroe doctrine must be
asserted and enforced. 1t is essential for
our safety as well as our prosperity that we
shall exercise controlling influence in the
affairs of the western world.

The fireman Of the Burlington &
Missouri train which was wrecked near
Hubbell on the night of the 18th says that
lust before the engine plunged down the

across the country. When the investigation

A u. S. Consul Shot.

At o balloon ascension in the Quin-

George w. Roosevelt, United States consul,
and wife were present. A French soldier
fired pistol at the Americans and the bull
let passed through RoOsevelt's hat and con-
fused his brain, knocking him over. The
wounded man pointed out the soldier, but
the latter with two companions escaped. 1t
is supposed the soldier mistook the consul
for an officer in civilians dress against
whom he had grudge. The commander
at Bordeaux ordered an inquiry.
