UNION PACIFIC RUM0RS
Vice President Lane Ex-
plains the Situation.
CAUSE OF DEROGATORY REPORTS
Ill-Feeling of Competition - The
Roads Prosperity-Doing an
Enormous Business.

BosToN, Oct. 2s.-Vice President Lane,
of the Union Pacific railway, was seen
to-day in regard to the stories with
which the street of late has teemed
derogatory to the Union Pacific, its
management ETC., with regard to boy
coiting and the effect thereof, Mr.. Lane
said; "West.bound through business is
really the only thing that Is affected,
and even this can suffer but little. ~
lie also remarked that the Union Pacific
and Northwestern alliance really con-
Germs nobody but the two roads In inter
est. What they do is their own bust
ness. The Union Pacific people are not
at all disturbed by the so-called boycott
and they find in the causes leading to 1t
that the ILL feeling of composition Is the
inspiration for all the recent wild reports
concerning the road.
The stories or accidents, Lane say 3,
have been greatly exaggerated. Their
sy stem Is getting an enormous traffic
at the present time, more indeed than 1t
can comfortably handle, and its equip
ment is necessarily getting severe us
age. A few accident have naturally
occurred under these circumstances
but none of these have involved any
serious damage. As regards the latest
story from Chicago, published to-day,
to the effect that the management was
working tacitly to wreck the road
with view to ultimately turning 1t
over to the Vanderbilts, Lane says the
yarn Is too absurd to deny and its ami
mus Is clearly apparent to any one who
understands the present condition oil
affairs.

The owners OF these properties pro
tested that the commission ought not to
Interfere with existing Improvements,
and that Improvements of any value
would not, and could not, be erected
within tho strip held by the state, for no
land in that tract can be leased for

sioners. however, urged that their duty
was to consider the future rather than
the present needs for their action would
be final for all time,

PROPHETIC KICKINa HORSE.
Tho Great Sioux Chief Has Returned
From q Walt to Heaven.

BISMARCK, n. D., Oct. 2s. Kicking
Horse, the great Sioux chief, seems to be
responsible for most of the trouble at
Standing Rock. He claims to have Wis
tied heaven, and returned to earth TO tell
the Indians that good things are in store
for them. Major Mclaughlin ordered
him off the reservation. and confined
several other troublesome spirits in the
guardhouse.
Tho Indians have been making day
and night hideous. Kicking Horse Is
cunning enough to mix Christian doc
trlne with his prophetic utterances. lie
tells them they must not kill the whites,
as the Great Spirit would take care of
them He declares the time will soon
come when the Indians will occupy the
earth to the exclusion of the whites. II
1t were spring, instead of fall, there
would be danger Of an uprising. But II
is not belieyea one will now occur.
Sitting Bull is doing all he can to
foment the disturbance.

CrNcIESArI, Oct. Ex-senator sher-
man was quoted last week as saying
that the absence of the rebate clause
from the revenue section of tho tariff
act was intentional. The Tobacco
Journal wrote the senator about it,
He replies that the express pur-
pose of postponing the taking effect of
section 30, which provides a reduction
of internal taxes, until after the LIST of
January, 1891, was that 1t was believed
as the general law took effect October @,
the lapse of nearly three months would
be sufficient TO exhaust the supply on
hand, and therefore no rebate was pro.
vided, as in some former red uction. He
has no doubt all who participated in
the conference took the same view Of
the matter,

which was necessary TO return the deed.
Tho only house within six miles of
