Tito Union 1'aclflc Prc Idciit Ecfcnds HilUMClf. CHICAGO , Nov. 1. Charles Francis Adams , against whom charges of try ing to wreck the Union Pacific railroad for speculative purposes have been made , arrived here yesterday on his way homo from a tour of inspection of that system , of which ho is president. Speaking of the charges and the gen eral condition of the road , Mr. Adams said : "The stories about my trying to. wreck the Union Pacific are duo solely to the imagination of certain ex-officials of the road who were , discharged from its service and who are evincing more aptitude for newspapers than they ever showed for running a railroad. They are too silly to deserve a denial. The Union Pacific , for the past six weeks , has unquestionably been greatly over crowded with traffic , and the local man agement , in its desire to take care of new business , has undertaken to do more than the facilities at command justified doing. Accordingly there has been a certain amount of disturbance in the movements of trains and a cor responding increase in accidents and delays. This has , however , all been remedied , and during the last ten days the regular movement has been re stored , accidents and disturbances have ceased and the whole machinery of the road is now moving with regularity.'j { "What of your relations with east ern roads ? " Under the contract between the Union Pacific and Chicago & North western , entered into a year ago , the division of rates was to be rearranged in a way that would materially ad vance the interests of the Union Pa cific. These revised rates are to take effect November 1. It is a matter sim ply between the Union Pacific and the Chicago & Northwestern. We are , however , ready to serve all other roads and exchange business with them , having no preference to the Northwestern. We have made every arrangement with our eastern connec tions to amply protect our own traffic and the whole traffic of the business community. Who have no apprehen sion that other lines in the long run will decline to participate in this traf fic on these terms. If the existing rates are sustained no line will have any cause of complaint , but in any event , no matter who accepts or re jects the new basis , we have made am ple provision to take care of all the traffic which offers to or from any point we reach. The difference about which so much talk has been made is purely temporary and , in our judgements , by no means serious in fact , we are inclined to believe that the whole thing was intended more for Wall street than for the freight offices of the roads or shippers here. The only other point which it seems to me would interest the public is that the Union Pacific , in common with all the other reads of the country , has sustained a very great loss of traffic this year and a corresponding loss of income , from the fact that all eastern machine shops have been overcrowded with orders. I have just been over the lines of the Union Pacific. The gross earnings of the company for the current month of October will be probably somewhere between $400,000 and $500,000. Had we had the motive power and equip ments which were ordered six months ago , and which under ordinary circum stances would have been delivered in August and September , wo might just as well earned for October rising of 500,000 instead of rising § 400,000. The traffic has been there and we have simply been , from no fault of ours , unable to move it. I do not think I 3xaggerate by saying that to-day the traffic ready for us to handle and press ing upon us to be hauled is SC per jent. in excess of our capacity. This ive greatly deplore , and , in fact , we suffer from it more than any one else ; 3ut it is not a fact which indicates either a lack of prosperity to the coun- ; ry or possibilities to the railroad. " General Brooke's Report. WASHINGTOX , Nov. 1. In his an nual report upon the operations of the army in the department of the Platte Brigadier General Brooke , command ing says : "The practice marches made during the year were beneficial and the mingling of the national guard and the regular army accom plished good results. .There has been a falling off in trials by court-martial , both general ard garrison/ " General Brooke says it Is impossible to deter mine at this early date whether or not this is owimj to recent activity of au thorities in behalf of enlisted men or normal fluctuation incident to the service. Population of the Country. WAsniXGTOr. Oct. 31. The popu lation of the United States , as shown by the census bulletin issued to-day , is c2,380,540. These figures are exclu sive of whites in the Indian territory and Indians on the reservation. In 18SO the population was 50,155,783. Tto increase in the past ten years is 15,324,757 } , a percentage of 34.57. In 1870 the population was stated as 38- 558,371. According to these figures the increase between 1870 and 1880 was 11,597,412 and the percentage 80.08. The bulletin says : "If the figures were derived from correct date such a reduction in the rate of increase in the face of enormous immigrattot the past ten years would argue a greal diminution in the fecundity of the pop ulation or the population or a corresponding spending increase in the death rate. These figures are , however , easily ex plained when it is stated that the cen sus of 1870 was grossly deficient in the southern states , so much so as not only to give an exaggerated rate of increase of population between 1770 and 188C in these states , but affect very materi ally the rate of increase in the country * at large. " The omission , the bulletin says , were not within the control of-the census office. The census of 1870 was taken under a law which ; Superintendent Walker characterized as 'clumsy , an tiquated and barbarous. " The census office had no power over its enumera tors. In referring to these omissions the superintendent of the tenth census said in his report in relation to South Carolina : "It follows , as the conclu sion of the highest authority , either thai the census of 1870 was grossly defective in regard to the whole of the state or some considerable parts there of , or else that the census of 1880 was fraudulent. " Those , therefore , who be lieve in the accuracy and honesty oi the tenth census and that was thor oughly established must accept the other alternative , namely , that the ninth census was "grossly defective.1' What was true of South Carolina was also true , in a greater or less degree , of all the southern states. The omis sion , in all probability , amounted tenet not less than 1,600,000. Omitting from consideration those states in which the census of 1870 is known or presumed to have been faulty , the rate of in crease' between 1870 and 1880 in the remaining states has been very nearly maintained in the decade between 1880 and 1890 , No Federation For Them. PITTSBUKG , Pa. , Nov. 3. There will be no general federation of locomotive engineers with brakemen , firemen , conductors and other railroad em ployes. As stated last week , a major ity report favoring federation' pre sented at the brotherhood convention in this city was defeated. Since that vote Avas taken the convention has spent considerable time discussing the question , and has finally decided not to federate with any other organiza tion. tion.The The matter has been left with each of the forty-five divisions to act as they may deem proper. They can , if they wish , join hands with other trainmen when differences arise between rail road companies and the employes. This has long been adhered to by the brotherhood and it is seldom the mem bers take part in strikes inaugurated by other organizations composed of railro'ad employes. The brotherhood believes in maintaining an independ- Bnt position , hence the refusal to adopt a resolution providing for a general federation. Crazed by Joy. BALTIMORE , Md. , Nov. 3. John lunif , a boiler maker , who was re- luced to poverty by ill health and con sequent inability to work , has gone irazy through overjoy at recovering ? 8,000 back pension money and an- auity from the gouernment. He had jiven up hopes of ever securing his jlaim. When the good news was re- jeived from Washington he became ielirious and then raving mad. Ho imagined a conspiracy to rob him of lis little fortune and carried pistols , inives and hatchets to bed with him. four days ago he attempted suicide vith laudanum , , but took too much. Ee next locked himself in his room , Barricaded the door , nailed down the vindows and refused to eat or drinker or three days. When his family tried ireak the door open he threatened to rill himself. To-day he yielded to his vife's entreaties and came out. Phy- Icians think he will recover. The Dcadxvood Saloon Cases. DEAD-WOOD , S. D. , Oct. 30. Judge Chomas overruled the demurrer of the lefendants in the injunction cases igainst the liquor dealers. Every aloon in Deadwood was closed by in unction proceedings instituted by the inforcement league on September 3 , ince which date the matter has been ) endiug in court. The case was ably irgued by Colonel W. R. Steele , at- orney for the dealers , and as ably de- ended by States Attorney W. G. Rice , md has attracted universal attention , further action of the dealers are problematical. Each of the thirty- eight cases thus disposed of collectively may be taken up separately and tried on its merits , but public opinion in clines to the belief that the liquor traffic is done for , for a time at least. A su * ! > iiiatcd 111 ill * Bed. MEMPHIS , Tenn. , Oct. 30. Lewis Thomas , a colored man , was killed this morning by an unknown assassin. He was asleep with his wife while his assailant crushed his skull with an ax. The noise of the blow awakened his wife , but in the darkness she was un able to identify the assassin. The sharp edge of the ax struck Thomas on the left side of the head , cutting a gash which exposed the brain. Suspi cion points to Frank Shelton. who had a'quarrel with Mrs. Thomas last week and it is thought the killing grew out of a bitter feeling engendered toward Thomas in assisting an officer in at tempting Shelton's arrest arrest for assault. There will be no general federation of the locomotive engineers with the brakemen , firemen , conductors and other railway employes. As stated heretofore , the majority report , favor ing federation , presented at the broth erhood convention in Pittsburg , was defeated.

A Revolution Threatened. Youir , Oct. 81. From presen indications another South America ! revolution is promised. Private ad vices received in this city today stat that Guzman lilance , ex-president o Venezuela , is in Antwerp buying arm with which to equip his followers fo an invasion of his native country , Se nor Blanco has been living in Europi for a number of years in fact eve since it was developed by his defeat fo re-election to the presidency that hi power in Venezuela was at an end An open rupture between him and th present Venezuelan government ha never before occurred , but it was tacit ly understood that he could not witl safety return to the scene of his for mer triumphs new. According to Senor Don Carlo ; Perez , who arrived from Venezuoli late on Tuesday night , this secret mis understanding has been made publit through an open letter published bj President Palacios. This letter is ad dressed to "Guzman Blanzo , formei president of the republic , " and is i severe arraignment of Blanco's course while chief executive of the country , It states among other things that Blan co alone is responsible for the humil iating position which Venezuela find : herself in relative to the territorial dis pute with England , and condems with out stint of words the rights grantet by Blanco to the government of Grea Britain. It is in response to this opei letter , the news of which reached Se nor Blanco some time ago , that ho i ; supposed to have made his visit to Ant werp foi * the purpose of preparing tc take active measures against his ad versaries. In memory of Hcroe- * . WASHINGTON , Oct. 31. Nine year : ago to-day Lieutenant Belong , whc was in command of the unfortunate Jeannette expedition , died in the frozen regions of the Lena Delta. There are very few survivors of thai unfortunate expedition , but two oi them Engineer Melville , now chiel of the bureau of steam engineers ol the navy department , and Seaman Linclerman. Both were at Annapolis this afternoon when the monument was unveiled which commemorates the heroic death of the men who gave up their lives in the interest of science and for the good of the navy. The monument is a duplicate of the cairn and cross which Melville erected with his own hands over the bones of De- long and his gallant comrades out in the regions of the frozen north before those remains were gathered together and brought to this country for final interment six or eight years ago. Two or three officers of the navy , led by Lieutenant John II. Moore , conceived the idea of gathering together a fund to be used in erecting the monument which was unveiled to-day. Lieuten ant Moore was afterward ordered to sea , but has been back on shore duty for about three years. When he re turned he resumed his efforts to gather together sufficient funds for the purpose of erecting this monument , and the success of his efforts was demonstrated to-day when one of the most appropriate designs of the kind was uncovered in the presence of a great concourse of people on the banks of the Severn at Annapolis. The oration tion delivered by Assistant Secretary Soley of the navy department was one of the prettiest things ever delivered upon such an occasion. They Want Reciprocity. WASHINGTOX. Oct. 31. The depart ment of state has received a copy of a petition forwarded by the tobacco jroowers and < * ! , gar manufacturers un ion of Cuba to the Spanish government , urging the negotiation of a reciprocity treaty between Cuba and the United States. The petitioners assert that they are confronted with a simple prob- .em on one side ruin , stagnation , misery and vague hopes , on the other ibundance , wealth and a promising 'uture. The petition says : "The United States buy from us tobacco and sugar ; o the extent of $51,000,000 , and it islet lot strange that the American govern- nent should make itself strong on the ibsolute necessity we have of that narket so as to demand reciprocal con- : essions , or , which is the same thing , jxemption for their flour , lard , ma- jhinery , hardware and other articles in ) ur tariff so as to increase exports to his island. In one word , they want .o . pay us for the tobacco and' sugar hey consume with the goods they pro- luce. To-day they only sell us § 10.- 100.000 or § 12,000,000 and they desiree o increase this amount to § 51,000,000. Chis is what the McKinley bill mounts to. " Kicking Horse Responsible. MINNEAPOLIS , Minn. , Oct. 30. A Msmai'ck , N. D. , special says : Kick- ng Horse , the Sioux prophet , seems to 10 responsible for the most of the rouble at Standing Rock. He claims o have visited heaven and returned to iarth to tell the Indians what good hings are in store for them. Major IcLaughlin ordered him off the reser- 'ation and confined several other trou- ilesome spirits in & house. The In- Lians have been making day and night hideous. If it wore spring instead of fall there would bo danger of an uprising - rising , but it is not believed one will now occur. Sitting Bull is doing all ho can to ferment a disturbance. FOREIGN BRIEFS. The work shops of the wood paving company in Paris were burned. Loss- 2,000,000 francs. The officials and citizens of Quebco- gave the Comto do Paris a grand re ception on his arrival there.
