Five days were necessary for the party

and children. Finding these not enough,
they brought mail-sacks from the postal

Wnile at one station in Bonhomme County,
the judge says, nineteen frozen bodies
were brought into the depot in one
day. In Bonhomme Counsy the list
of dead will reach fully 100. The
estimates as made at Yankton yesterday

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-President Norvln.
Green, or the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, delivered IN address before the Sem
ate fost-oMre Committee yesterday in OPP
pos'uon TO Government telegraph system.
He declared that there were con-
sti:Mt1onal objections to such a system.
as the Government was not en-
powered to enter into inter State COM
meroe. Americans lie said, had the best
telegraph system on earth and he read O
letter from London which declared that
business men were sometimes compelled,
IN order to secure prompo service, to send
messages by way OF New York to Havre
The Western Union was not monop-
oily. he said it enjoyed no exclusive
franchise or Legislative grants, and that
the field was open to anybody who might
choose to enter it. In regard to tho charge
that the rates would be raised during tho,
present year, he said that on the con-
trary tho rates would be reduced No gov
ernmcntcould be responsible for delays and
errors The Western Union had to pay from
$1OO, 600 to $500, 900 a. year for it's mis-
takes. He believed that the deficit of q
Government system as suggested in the
Cullom bill would'be from $5,OOO.OOO to
sic, DOC, 900 year. II the Government
did run telegraph system it must take ex-
listing lines. No private enterprise could
run against the National Treasury set
ting out to do business for nothing.
He wished to say concerning the Western
Union, that it's value as stated by the press
would not buy the Wire at the factory, and
the company's other equipments amounted
to three or four times the value Of the wire.
Tne property Of the Western Union could not
possibly be duplicated to-day Tor it's Capital
lzatlon There was u popular belief that the
company was owned by one man.
The company's directorate was composed
OF thirty men The m.llionaires OF the
country had less than three-eights of the
sock Over 10000 people in oil were
interested in this properly. II am
tod" the doctor continued, shat
petition bearing 100000 signatures is
to be sent 10 this committee in favor of the
Government system. They will come by
command. originating in spite against one
man with whom Mr. Powderly had quar-
rel, and not /, 900 men who will sign have
ev&r seen q telegraph message"
Regarding the Western Union rates Dr.
Green said that in 1867 the cost of hand
ling messages averaged 50 4 cents and the
rae to the public was 1O47. The rub-
lie rates had Geen reduced until in 1889
the rates 10 the public were 1872 cents
while the cost to the company was 35. 8
csnss, and last year the rates to the pubic
were 3O4 cents. while the cost to the COM
pany was % cents so.
Dr. Green was followed by Gardiner G.
Hubbard, who spoke over an hour in favor
OF he establishment Of Government sys-
tenn OF telegraph. The comm ttee ad-
journad indefinitely at the conclusion Of
