Special Jisimtch to THE Bl'K. WASHINOTON , March 23. The Union Pacific has for aomo time boon endeavor ing to induce the interior department to code to it 000 acres of land of the Fort Kearney reservation on the Kansas Pa cific branch. The interior department has asked the company to advance some legal reasons why these valuable lands should bo given to the company that it has already secured all the land to which it ia entitled for ( stations on the line of the road. Judge Usher , solicitor of the road , some time since requested that the department should permit the road to furnish moral and not legal reasons. Tlio moral reasons assigned are that the laud is liable to be filled up with a bad class of population , ( drinking saloons , etc. ) and that as the railroad company has a great many skilled and efficient workmen , it does not wish them cor rupted by such surroundings. This is the first time that a railroad company having no legal or other rights to land haa asked the government to give the lands to them for strictly missionary pur poses. Senator Van Wyck , who has had his attention called to the mattorsaid the road might as well ask a grant of the en tire state of Kansas. IIAILUOAD I'OOLS. Special Dispatches to THE IEE.

The passage of the bill would load to an overwhelm ing demand for the repeal of the whole ( ax on whisky. Mr. Clay ( dom. Ky. ) said the whisky industry was made legitimate by the government , and demanded the same protection from congress which was granted to any other business or avoca tion. Ho dotili'd that the pending measure embodied special legislation , and maintained , on the contrary , that its object was to make a general law and put whisky , boor and tolncco on the same footing in rocard to taxation. It waa a measure of relief which would prevent a crisis in the west. When congress could do this without detriment to tile public interest , it should bo dona. Mr. Thompson ( dom. Kentucky ) sup ported the bill , which ho said presented the question whether the government would bankrupt one class of its citizens when it did not rrquira for any purpose money which would fall duo for taxep. The question of temperance , said Thomp son was not involved in the nu < o.iuro , but if a few temperance "cranks" in the house would vote for the bill it would re- suit in keeping the whisky in bond and out of consumption. Mr. Millikon inquired whether , if tlio bill passed , the whisky would not betaken taken out of bond in the course of time. Mr. Thompson replied that it would pass into consumption when it was called out by "temperance cranks , " for ho had never soon one of that class who , before making a speech , would not stop bahind the door and wet his whistle. Mr. llrockonridgo ( ren. Ark. ) favored the bill and made an exhaustive Hpooch , going into the history of whisky legisla tion and industry. Messrs Hiscock ( rep ) and Kay , ( rep ) of New York , both opposed the bill , Mr , Hay protesting against "tho government becoming wet nnrso for the big baby whisky interest. " Mr. Findloy ( dom. lud ) apoko against the bill. Uoforo the conclusion of Find- loy'a speech the committee rose. Mr. _ Hancock ( dom.
