UNION PACIFIC.
The Court of Claims Decides the Long
Pending Cases.

WAsBIEeToN. Feb. 2.-Ths Cogrt OF Claims
to-day decided the long pending cases of the
Union Pacific rsilwsy company VS.. the Uni
tedStstes. Chief Justice Richardson deliv-
cred the opinion OF the court. The following
is q synopsis OF the points decided: First
the amount allowed by The treasury depart
ment for carrying mails bsiog the same
rates allowed by law to all other rail road
companies, il lar sr6 u ssor eble compen-
sstior, and no. IL excess OF that paid by prI-
vate parties for the same kind OF service.
The United Safes 10 bound to pay for the
transportation of its passer gers troops etc.,
from Council Bluffs to Onabs over the
bridge and between Council Bluffs and
Ogden the came rates paid by private parties,
those rates being fair and reasonable, and
the United States is not entitled TO the
reduction accorded passengers who purchase
through tickets between New York and San
Frsncisco and other distant places, unless
its passengers purchase tickets in like man
ner.
The company is required to pay into the
Treasury OF the United States each year
per cent. of the net earnings under the act
of 1862, and under the Thurman set, since
its passage, in addition so much of $3.50 600,
as with said per cent and the whole COM
pensation for Government transportation,
is equal to % por cent. of the net earnings.
In determining what the net earnings are,
the expenses bona ide paid out of the gross
earnings, not charged to construction nor
capital, are to be deductedrfrom gross earn
inps, although they are partly in the nature
of permanent improvements
In stating the account to December 81,
1882, the court finds, approximately. that
the United States owes the company - &c.,
7C0, and the company owes the United
States s.. 734 1872; deducting one from the
other, the United States is entitled to
judgment on its counter claims against the
company of s., 1853 692. The accounting off.
GERS of both parties are to make accurate
computations in accordance with the prin-
ciples and formula laid down in the findings
of fact and THY opinion and Judgment is
postponed until their calculations are made
aud handed to the court Tor examination
and final action.

ence, will inevitably follow as each of the
many committees to be authorized by this
change to consider appropriations and which
the appropriation committee as now consti-
tuted is to be divided, will naturally enhance
its own Importance. Instead of one commit
tee having charge of the expenditures and
checking
UNNECESSARY APPROPRIATIONS,
there will be many acting Independently of
each other, and nobody will know the aggre-
gate of the annual appropriations until it is
too late to avoid the disaster of a deficient
treasury, which may at any time in the near
future be precipitated on the people. The
proposition is too plain to need argument,
and there is not business man in the coun-
try who will not appreciate the correctness
and force of this statement. The surplus
revenue we now have will not continue for
ever and habits of extraragant appropriations
cannot be changed at once.
Mr.. Randall then instances the agricult-
ural and river and harbor bills, which were
taken from the appropriation committee
and given to the committees. The an
nual appropriations for these two objects
at once were increased enormously, and
says the same result may be expected if a
further distribution be made. He then
continues:
Who can foretell the devastation of the
puDnc nnanceS when the treasury
doors are thrown wide to unre-
strcted and unrestrained Vaccinations
and combinations of every character. Such
combination might even enter the congress
itself, and the government would then become
hot bed to start into existence every dan
gerous policy.
He also says that as these committees
would also be charged with preparing de-
ficiency bills that the machinery of legisla-
tion would be incumbered with more than
twice the usual number of bills of this kind
and concludes thus:
To commit the power OF control appropria-
tion bills to the standing committees, coupled
with their present legitimate powers, would
cut the house off from every avenue of in
formation touching the public service, ex-
cept through the committee controlling each
particular branch, thus breaking down what
is now most wholesome check possessed by
the house through the appropriations COM
mittee over each committee and by all of the
committees over that of the appropriations.
a potent fact to be considered in connection
with this proposition is the statement of the
treasury that the estimated expenditures for
the ensuing fiscal year aggregate S339, ,5S9,-
600, while the estimated revenues for the same
period amount only to S315, 200, being an
estimated excess of expenditures over reve-
nues OF S24. SOC, 900.

LAND-GRANT RAILROADS
Must Inform the Government of tn
Proceedings.


WASHINGTON, Dec. SIN explanation
of the rules recently issued by the depart
ment of the interior, requiring land-grant
railroads to make certain reports to the
government, Assistant Secretary jerks to-
day said to an Associated Press reporter:
Their object, broadly speaking is to place
in possession of the department information
in regard to these roads and their manage
ment, which, certainly, the government as
stockholder to the extent of $100,000,000 and
as proprietor of the public lands of about
the same value held by these roads have
right, even if the law did not explicitly re-
quire the roads to furnish just such informa-
tion The new rules require the roads to
give ten days notice of q meeting of the di-
rectors with a statement of all business to
be brought I'D, in order that the government
may have sufficient notice Of what is In con-
temptation. or that a representative Of the
government may be present if deemed neces-
sary. This rule does not prohibit the transac-
tion of any other business, but it is to be
supposed if there is a meeting to be called
there is some object in calling it, and the gov
ernment wants to know beforehand if it
is anything of great importance. Then,
again, the rules require q copy of the min
utes of the meetings shall be sent to the de-
partment, and the purpose is to afford the
government, not the public, knowledge Of
how it's interests are being subserved. In In
stance. when it was charged, as it has been,
that some roads are selling the public lands
for SIS per acre to one or two directors. and
the latter, imediately turning around and
selling the same lands for Sis per acre, the
department would be able, by turning to the
minutes, to ascertain whether such sale had
been made. At present the department has
no knowledge whatever of what the roads are
doing, and have no means of ascertalning
whether such charges are true or false. II
should be remembered said Mr.. Jenks
"that the law of 1878 requires the commits
sioner of railroads to issue regulations pre-
scribing the character of those reports, but

LONDON. Dec. 4.-The political situation
tonight is one of perplexity to all the Brit
ish politicians. The Liberals close the
week with tie with the Tories and Par
nellites combined. There are. however.
enough constituencies to vote to make the
whole issue one of absolute uncer-
tainty. The reason for this may
be briefly stated. When Mr.. Gladstone
was defeated he knew that he had enough
absentee votes to give him majority. So
he preferred to relinquish the government
and depend upon vote of confidence from
the country in returning him to power. He
desired in this way to become indie
pendent of the Irish party. He desired to
have
A BRITISH MAJORITY
at his back so that whatever he might do
for Ireland would be accepted as con-
cession and not as an extortion. He felt
sure of success. The Radicals, however,
attempted an alliance with the Palnellites
whereby they could secure the gov
ernment for themselves and in do
ing so advocated several measures
extremely popular with the newly enfran-
chised voters. Among others was discs
tablishment. The Parnellites distrusted
the Radicals and made an alliance with the
Tories Gladstone then became aroused,
forced the Radicals to return to their allie
glance, and by localizing

Haven this morning announce her safe ar
rival at that port. 1t was reported last night
that Capt Man, vessel captain living in
Chicago. was missing. The name of the
vessel he commanded could not be learned,
but his friends say he had started fifteen
days ago on tug which should take but
forty hours, and had not yet been heard
from. The storm last night beat up tre-
mendous sea along the lake shore. The
waves ran extremely high, and falling on
the heavy planks of the breakwater, broke
them off like tinder. The Illinois Central
tracks are protected by the breakwater,
which is about 100 feet away. The waves
broke over this and Thirty-tirst and Thirty
ninth streets and washed the outside track
for several hundred feet. The Twenty
second street outside track, which is pro-
tected by two breakwaters, was also washed
aWay.

Ziebach and His Enemies.

SpeclaI 10 lue OlObt
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Nothing can be
elected concerning the Dakota governor ap-
pointment. but upon the arrival OF NJ. II.
Day the matter becomes more interesting.
The Dakotians here who are really oppos-
ing Mr.. Ziebach now perceive the weakness
of their methods of opposition and are en-
deavorng to concentrate upon some one
man. Barney Caulfeld is said to be the
man finally settled upon as the candidate
with whom to down the Sioux City editor.
Scheaf seems to have refused to become a
regular applicant for the place. Zebach
still tarries in the city. but the wear and
tear of hope deferred shows the sickness of
his heart. The opposition appears to have
at last realized that their scattered antag-
onisms admitted of the plausible eXplana-
ton that the real intent was to secure Gov.
Pierces retention. and this was inherently
weak, for the president has determined
upon a change. Now, there is not only a
concentration upon Caulheld, but all
avowed denunciation of Ziebach is aban-
doned. and the view advanced that the
Boynton- Russell Thompson crowd merely
seek the opening of the big Sioux reserva-
ton. Secretary Lamar Is certainly for lie
bach, and when he finally does reach the
point of making recommendation, the de-
cision will then be squarely with the presi-
dent. 1t is again repeated that Mr.. lie
bach has perhaps injured his prospects by
his presence in the city. Not that his ap-
pearance and address are not progressing
for they are, but there is general displeas-
ure on Mr.. Clevelands part toward any loi-
tering in Washingto to secure positions.
He prefers that federal officers should be
summoned to their honorS,

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Gov. Samuel T.
Hauser of Montana arrived here tonight.
Hauser is president of the leading national
bank at Helena, large owner of mines and
very wealthy. He is one of the plainest
and most unostentatiOus of men. He comes
to New York occasionally, always wearing
his home clothes of ordinary business cloth
and no nonsense. l asked him what was
the truth about the effect of the order is
sued by Land Commissioner Sparks about
the cutting of timber on mineral lands for
smelling works. He replied ''As far as
our territory is concerned it would crush us.
If his order had gone into effect and been
enforced it would have paraIyzed the min
ing industries of the territory. Twenty
thousand men would have been thrown out
of employment in twenty-four hours. so
wrote to Secretary Lamar, Mr.. Sparks and
the president l don't believe the commits
soner was posted as to the situation. His
order would have created
A MONOPOLY OF TIMBER
under the control of the new Northern
Pacific railroad. Lamar very properly sus-
pended the order. Why, it would have
made every man in the territory engaged in
mining stop his work while he went out
and found stick of timber suitable for his
needs. This is the same fight that Blaine
had with SchurZ when Schurz was commits
sioner. 1t drew out that speech of Blaine's
in which he said that this country would
never permit importations and the applica-
ton of the barbarous forest laws of Ger
many to this country. Blaine was very
popular in the territories on account of the
way he stood up for our interests on this
and other occasions. He made Schurz come
down." ''How is the business OF the terri
tory?" asked. cit was never more pros
porous in all the time have been there.
We have more

than any other territory or state in the
country. The growth is marvellous"
''You will soon be knocking at the doors
of congress for admission as state?"
''That is what it looks like. presume
we could get through this winter if we
would tie up with Dakota. That territory
is Republican and ours Democratic If the
two were presented together they might go
through. l don't see how Dakota can be
refused in any event. She is entitled to
admission under her agreement as to terri
tory. The only trouble is that people want
two states instead of one. l came East
with number of people and they talked
about nothing else. They were on their
way to Washington, but they will all de-
mand two states.

Delayed by the Storm.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-All the Western
mail trains were from thirty minutes to an
hour and half late this morning on ac-
count of last nights snow storm. The
Eastern mails were delayed much longer by
the storm. The Baltimore & Ohio trains,
due at $40 and $3.50 a. m., did not arrive
till 1890 p. IN. The Pittsburg & Chicago
fast mail, due at a. M, was four hours
late, and the Cincinnati mail on the Kanka-
kee line was reported as five hours behind
time. The schooner Julia Morrill, came
in here to-day minus her mainsail, boom,
yawl boat and part of her deck load. A
schooner supposed to be the W.O. Goodman
was reported at anchor off the marine hos
pital this morning. There is
little water there and there was
some danger that she would 60 ashore.
About 10 o'clock, however, she was brought
into port. At no place were the effects of
the storm more apparent than at Lincoln
park. All along the lake shore trees are
lying prostrate, and many of the poles used
for the electric lights are also lying down.
The temporary breakwater that had been
constructed preparatory 10 the building of
permanent one was completely washed
away, and the waves, with no resistance,
swept over the drive, tearing it away in
many places and undermining it for almost
the entire distance. The park authorities
have erected a number OF breakwaters
to protect the drives, but thus far they
have been invariably washed away.
Great anxiety prevailed In marine circles
about the schooner Bay State. She was
bound for Muskegon and was three days
overdue. Dispatches received from Grand
