Washington. May 25.--The Union
Pacific railroad has filed with the in.
terstate commerce commission its
answer TO the order OF the commits

the alleged rebates OF the Union Pa

The Union Pacific admits that 1t has
an agreement with the Midland Eeva.

grain which passes through these ele-
vators.
The Union Pacific says that these
elevators are absolutely necessary to

elevators it arranged with the repre-
sentatives of the Peavey concern to
construct and operate them and fur

The Cost of Census-Takinu.

The difference between the cost of
securing the returns from the six
simple questions asked in 1870, and
that of the extended inquiry made
a century later, is illustrated by the
per capita cost, which in 1890 was
1.13 cents, and in 1900, 155 cents. In
1890 Virginia was the most populous
state in the Union, having 747,610
inhabitants. The records of the
Treasury department show that at
the first census, the cost of making
the enumeration in that state was
$7,55390. Moreover, at that enumera-
ton, the underpaid assistant mar.
shals supplied their own blanks, an
item which was of considerable i'm.
portance in the days when all paper
was made labCriously by hand. In
1900 the population of Maine--about
700, O0O-most nearly Appropriated
that of Virginia in 1890.
At the twelfth census the cost Of
actual enumeration in Maine, includ.
ing the pay of supervisors, was $34,.

the amount expended for the emu.

Cromwell Interferes.

Daylight came with that soft radi-
ance of sunshine over fresh green
things which makes spring so delight
full. Early in the morning James
friends called for her, and they
went away together full of youths
enthusiasm and anticipation. They
took the road to the river, and to the
sound of music and the falling and
dipping of the oars they reached
Richmond and soon spread the con-
tents of their hampers upon the grass
under some great oaks in the seclud-
ed park.
After happy, leisurely meal, they
spent the rest of their holiday in wan
dering through the palace, until ats
melancholy, monastic grandeur sub
dued them almost to silence.
1t was like passing from death
,sito life to come out of these caverns
into the light and glory of the west
ering sun, to feel its warmth, and see
its brave colors, and hear the cuckoo,
like wandering voice among the
trees. Soon they were at the river
stairs, and as they passed through
the city they were instantly aware of
great excitement 1t was impossible
not to feel that something of great
moment had happened, or was going
to happen; and when Jane entered
the hall at Sandys and saw Doctor

pected that he had come with in

The History of Lifeboats.

1t is just 113 years since the first
lfeboat was launched. Lionel Lukin,
a coachbuilder, of Long Acre, London,
was the inventor. A hundred years
ago there were thirty lifeboats sta,
toned on the different coasts of Bri
tain. The Royal National Lifeboat In.
stitution was founded in 1928. Since
that day it has saved $4,000 persons
from watery graves. In 1S49 Iifeboai
capsized on the Herd Sands, and TWEEN
ty out of crewe of twenty-four were
drowned. This accident caused the
Duke of northumberland to offer log
guineas for the best lifeboat submit
ted in open competition. Mr.. James
Beeching, of Great Yarmouth, won the
prize. In 1888, and again in 1887
prizes for the best lifeboat were of
