UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD.
Secretary Noble Reports That 1t Has Not
Violated the Laws as to its Indebtedness,

On the third instant the Senate passed
resolution calling upon the Secretary Of the
Interior to state whether or not in his knowl-
edge the Union Pacific Railroad Company has
guaranteed the stock or bonds of any other
corporation, whether or not said Union
Pacific Railroad Company has paid
out OF its earnings the indebtedness
OF any railroad company, and, if SO, whether
such guarantee and payment arc in accordance
with law and consistent with the obligations OF
the said Union Pacific Railroad Company to the
United States. In his response, received by
the Senate today,
SECRETARY NOBLE SAYS
that the Union Pacific Railroad Company has
guaranteed the bonds and interest OF quite q
number Of other corporations, including those
Company and of the Denver aud South
Park Railroad Company. Some Of these
roads are operated as feeders of
the Union Pacific, and the deficiency in
their operating expenses has been paid
by it. The guarantees. the Secretary says,
have been made in pursuance of fixed policy
followed by the Union Pacific for years as
means for increasing the business and earn
ings OF its main line, which policy has been
approved after frequent Investigations on the
part OF the government by its officers.
THE COMPANY HAS COMPLIED WITH THE LEGAL
REQUIREMENTS.
In conclusion Secretary Noble says: "Inas-
much as, according to the report Of the COM
missioner Of railroads, said company has COM
piled with and continues to comply
with all the requirements of Congress
as to payments to be made TO the
United States do not see how its action in the
premises can be fairly regarded as endanger-
ing or injuring the interest of the United
States as a creditor of the said company
or be considered otherwise than legitimate
and proper in the prosecution of its
business. 1t has given no lien or mortgage on
or made any pledge of its assets on which the
United States has lien, but seems to have
simply used its credit and its share of income,
as 1t has right to do, in promotion OF its
proper purposes"
LEGAL OPINION.
In an opinion accompanying the letter Of the
Secretary, the assistant attorney general for
the Department of the Interior says that, on
the facts shown by the railroad commissioner
there has been no violation of the United
States statutes governing this corporation by
the company in these matters or Of its obliga-
tions to the government.
The report and Its accompanying papers
were referred to the Judiciary committee.

THE MILITIA REVIEW.
Why 1t Threw General Viscount Me
Vile in a Towering Rage.

Why 1t Threw General ViscOunt Mel.
Vile in a Towering Rage.
There was to be review of the Lam
AYRSHIRE militia when the commander
of the forces in Scotland was General
Viscount Melville. He was strict dis
ciplinarian, an excellent soldier, but
most particular as to detail. 1t was said
he could detect a missing button on a
private's coat. He was the inspecting
officer. The review was to take place
in the park of the palace. Luncheon
was prepared for the whole county. A
large party was invited in honor of Lord
Melville, who arrived at the palace the
previous day to meet Lord B.. the
Colonel of the militia regiment. There
were few people as popular as Lord Il.
His geniality equaled his hospitality, and
his residence was a house widely known
and highly consldered; but he was very
forgetful, and despised all those mill
tary details which Lord Melville consid-
sidered of the first importance-so much
so, that at dinner the General expressed
himself very strongly as to the atten-
ton the Colonel should give the next
day to the equipment of the corps, and,
above all, to his own personal appear
ance. "Trust to me-" said Lord b;
you will see how we'll l shall turn out
tomorrow"
However, it was evident that the com
mander in chief was full of doubt; nor
were his apprehensions unfoundei. The
next day was beautiful. Crowds assem-
bled in the park and at the entrance of
the palace: but the regiment arrived
without its Colonel. Lord Melville was
purple with rage. There we all waited
half an hour. At last appeared the
Colonel, and in the most motley guise-
no cooked hat, his sash slung rather
than tied round his waist, his trousers
without straps, half way up his legs.
He logged along in perfect Indifference
as to his appearance. Lord Melville was
too overcome with indignation to speak
when Lord B. said: "Well, General,
hope you think me all right to-day"
Low-muttered anathemas were the
only reply to this salutation. However,
the review proceeded, but very slowly,
for the Colonel had to read the word of
command from a paper which he did
not even try to conceal. Lord Melville
dashed about in frenzy. At length
the last maneuver and final blow came.
The regiment formed square. make
ready, present, fre!" was the word of
command. Not sound but the click OF
the locks.
Colonel, what does this mean?"
shouted the General.

Colonel.

AWFUL DEED OF A DRuNKARD.
How the Force of Habit Made Him Break
His Solemn Vows.

''The most terrible story I ever
heard" said Rev. c. Lane, in sermon
preached last Sunday at Trinity Church,
was told me by man addicted to
drink, and it but serves to illustrate
with what terrible letters the demon OF
drink can bind man.
The fellow approached me and said:
am ashamed to tell tho story am 60
ing to, as it reflects ON my manhood,
but want you to know to what depths
sDf infamy the force of habit will drag
one.
"'My family had been begging mo to
give up drinking, and finally promised
my dear old mother on her death-bed. I
swore to her that would never drink
again, and to make the oath the more
binding crept into the parlor in the
still watches of the night, when the
watchers were in another room, and,
kneeling beside her coffin, l renewed
my oath with my hand placed upon that
marble brow cold in death.
In less than a week l was as drunk
as hog.
Some time afterward my little
daughter was taken sick. She was sink
ing rapidly and begged mo to give up
drinking. promised her that would,
and in order to make my promise the
more sacred l took the wasted little
hand in mine and promised her that no
drink should pass my lips unless it came
through that hand, so dear to me. With
a sweet smile she passed over tho river
and l thought l was saved.
" She was laid out in the parlor, the
blinds were darkened and the doors
shut. That night the terrible craving
for whisky came over my soul. Securing
a wine glass and a flask of whisky, ]
sought the death chamber. l poured
the glass full of whisky and unlocked
the icy fingers. closed them over the
glass, and, raising it to my lips, !
drained it to the very dregs. reclasped
the cold hands and silently left the room,
and may God have mercy on my soul
