President Norvln Green views with apparent complacency the blow administered to the Western Union- Union Pncillo tolozraph alliance by Unllod States Supreme Court Justlco Brewer. "Tho decision of Judge Browur , " said President Green , "will affect the economics of our operations along the Union Pacific from Omaha to Ogden , but it will not hurt us financially except in that direction. "Under the decision of the court wo are to take out our wires and ofllcos. Wo can kcop our ofllctvi in the same building , I suppose , but wo uro to do a separata business. This will result in u poorer and moro costly ser vice to the public , and some of our ofllcos In small places will probably bu abandoned. The railroad company won't DO aolo to run anything except a poor commercial telegraph company , not near as good as ours. Our gross revenues will not bo impaired and may bo increased , but our expenses will bo increased. The Postal Tele graph Cable company may , nnd prob ably will , at once under this decision make connections with the Union Pacific Hallroad Telegraph company nnd persons using thu Union Pacific telegraph wires can order their mo'-sagos delivered by either the Postal or the Western Union company.

WAIIIINOTOX , D. C. , April 1. [ Spocla Telegram to THU BEK.J A couple of wcoUs ago Senator Maniicrson trausinlttod to In dian Commissioner Morgan a letter from Hon. W. A. I'axton of Omaha In relation to the delivery of dressed heof Instead of press beef nt the Rosebud and Pine Kklfio Indian agencies , in which Mr. 1'axtou stated that If dressed boot were delivered at railroad points nearest to the agencies nnd trans ported to the agencies by the Indians them selves , the revenue from hauling would hi ) much greater than they now receive from the sale of hides nnd give them ready cash rather than trade as they now get , nnd that the oxpcnso of herd- iiiK mid of hutchors would bo saved so that there would bo no shrltiKagc. llo added that the present Rystom of shooting anil crippling bcovos on the prulrlo and often rendering thorn uuilt for food would thus be avoided and the Indians would not have the opportunity of torturinc the cattle , as is the prevailing custom. Senator Mnndorson today received a reply to the letter , Invbleh General Morgan soys : "In transmitting Mr. Paxton's letter you stntcil that no presents this subject In such a convincing nnd forcible way that I do not feel that 1 need add anything to his letter except to say that 1 heartily concur with him in his conclusion. 1 think It would bo n long ston in the direc tion of civilization and n Bettor condition for the Indians when beef shall bo issued to them in tlrosso j form. Hoply Ing to your letter - tor 1 would respectfully say that I hoartllj agrco with you that the issuing of dressed beef to Indians In nlaco of llvo cattle , which uro by ttiom tortured before being Idllod , would bo n long step In the direction of the clvlll/ntion of tuo Indians , nnd for that purpose - pose tno bulldingiof sub-issue stations Is uuilor consideration , and they will probably bo built during the fiscal year of 189y , located at different places on the respective agencies , from which stations all rations are to bo issued for the Indians living In the vicinity of the stations , and when the ulans in contemplation nro finished and congress furnishes sufficient funds for their execution this otllco will bo In a condi tion to mature a plan for Issuing from those sub-issuo stations , dressed beef to the In dians in place of live stock. IViiturrs of tlio Situation. "Tho plan submitted by Mr. Paxton , how ever , is , it seems to mo , entirely impractica ble. Kor the Hosobud agency about 5,000,01)0 ) pounds of beef , gross , nro required annually and for the Pine Hidgo agency 0,000,1)0.0 pounds , gross. The nearest railroad station to Uusebud agency is Valentino , Nob. distance about twenty-flvo miles. Therefore the drosscd beef would have to up Imuloci in wagons , in ono case thirty-llvo miles and in the other tivonty-Uvo miles. In the summer this would mean the spoiling of the meat before fore it reached tbo agency , and in winter , when the roads nro bad , It is doubtful if the Indians wonld bo oblo to haul tbo same. But aside from the above , if dressed beef were furnished the Indians at tbo Pine Hidgo and KosobuU aganciot , it would in summer have to bo issued dally , and lu winter at least twice a wcoi. Some of tbo Indians llvo over fifty miles frnm the agency and a majority from ten to fifteen miles and to como , In summer , daily for the hoof , and in winter twice a weoU , would keep thum always curouto , unable to attend to their farms , stock , etc. Beef rations on the hoof are issued now at the agencies every two w"beks ; but this could * not bo done with dressed beef , oven if it could bo kept from spoiling whllo being hiiuled from the ter minus ol tno railroad. "At some of the agencies , namely the Standing Kock agency , in South Dakota , sufllciont cattle are killed in November to last until the middle of March , frozen and Issued to the Indians in that condition , bat the weather at Pine Hidgo and Hobobud agencies Is too changeable to allow of this. For the present and until a plan has been matured and proper approprlations made for its execution are furnished , tno issuing of live cuttlo to these Indians will have to con tinue , much as I regret the fact.

An amendment offered by Mr. Vllas to in crease the appropriation for an Indlun school led to a discussion in which Mr. Allison chairman of the committee on appropriations , criticised the Indian rommissioucr for wrll- iiiir long supplementary letters to senators fRVOnui : increased appropriations , instead of re-commending thorn to the committee. Thu school at Lawrence , Kan. , was a case in point , the commissioner having written a letter to Mr. Perkins favoring nil in crease of from frS.OOO to $1'J5,000. It had bcon discovered by tlio committee nu appro priations that $15,000 of that amount ( ex- prttsod In the estimate at for ' 'out-liousos" ' ) was actually for the election of a j-osiilenco for the superintendent and some teachers , dud that i,000 was for nn electric plant.

[ Special Telegram to TUB Bun. ] Indian Commis sioner Morgan today sent to Senator Uolph n letter snylng that the attack en Iho Indian olllco by Senator Manderson on iho floor of tlio sonata Wednesday , charging the ofllco with attempting to force rotten bacon upon tlio Indians nt Pine Hidgo Agency , S. I ) . , seems to have bcon based upon a misappre hension of the facts lu the case. llo says that n contract for furnishing the Indian service for Iho year end ing .Tuuo 30 18 ! > 2. for 750,000 pound of bacon , short clear sides , sound , sweet and merchantable , was awarded to the firm of J. O. Arraour&Co. of Chicago : 120,000 pounds of this bacon were shipped to Uushvlllo , Nob. , by rail to bo conveyed lucnco uy Indian iransportntlon to Pine Hideo to bo distributed among the Indians , The meat was inspected before shipment in Chicago by nu ox pert chosen by the socro- tnry of the Interior and It was pronounced to be fully up to the contract requirements. Captain Penny , acting Indian agent at Pine Hldgc , refused to receive Iho meat on the ground that It was old , musty , rancid nnd unfit for fooj. Commissioner Morgan noti fied the contractors and requested thorn to replace thu bacon with a better quality. The legal representative of' tbo firm , in connection with Senator Cuttoih , cMlcd upon the commUslouor nud pro to-tied that they wore being unjustly dealt with : that the bacon was all they claimed for It , mid re quested tnat llnnl nctlon should bu'duforrcd until the matter could bo fully Investigated. Accordingly Commissioner Morgan directed that what bacon was still remaining ut Hushvllln should bo inspected by tbo ship- Ding clerk , ,1. li. West , who was appointed to his position on the recommendation of Senator Mundorson and the other member of thu Nebraska delegation , who assorted that ho was thoroughly competent and irust- wortliy. Ho , with the aid of two butchers und exports , inspected the bacon and re ported it fully up to the requirements or the contract. Commissioner Morgan , In order to avoid any possibility of doubt , relieved from duty the man who had inspected the bucou in Chicago anil appointed another man who was recommended to him as nn export and directed him to proceed to Pine Hlugo , with instructions to make a critical and exhaus tive examination of the moat and report the result of his findings. Ho did so and saU that ho found all except - copt allttloloss than 7,000 pounds satisfac tory. On tuls the commissioner directed the 7,000 pounds to bo rejected , and replaced by the contractors with acceptable meat : uul di rected the agent to issue tbat which had been found satisfactory. Captain Brown , who had succeeded Cap- lain Penney , inbtstod that ho was not wiliine to Itsuo the bacon , which- had boon pro nounced unlit for food by his predecessor , nnd as nod that it bu removed nnd other bacon substituted therefor. The commissioner Ihon directed , that pending Iho final determi nation of the question and awaiting a change in thn weather when thobacoa could bo moro fully examined , the acting agent should ibsuo to the Indians lull rations of beef in lieu of the bacon. Heconlly on the recommendation ot General Cyrus Bussoy , assistant secretary of.tho interior , a third inspector bad been agpointcd and is now at Pine Uldge engaged in making an examination of the bacon , and the Indian ofUco is awaiting his report. Calvin M. Favorite of the Armour Packing company says lhat there can bo no grounds for Senator Mandorsnn's charges. Ho admits that Iho 100,000 pounds of bacon were sent to the Sioux reservation but ho claims that the shipments were made last , October , /a.year after the battle of Wounded Kiieo had ooou fought. Ho says that the bacon .was accepted by Cox nnd afterwards rejected by the of ficers , not nocauso all of it was unlit for use , but because about 1,000 pounds had become tainted. The Armour company'was notified of the condition of a mm.of tbo shipment and immediately made it treed to the govern ment , after which the deal was closed. INVESTING Tlliill : MONUV.

Cuptiiln Ilutlln Smllli Delivers Her I.eel uro ( in How She \Vim Sheit. With a llourish of trumpets , the clanging of symbals , the pounding of tambourines , n discordant brass band and a street parade , Captain Hattie Smith , the wounded horolno of the Salvation army , was welcomed by on Immense crowd of people last night at the army's barracks , Seventeenth nnd Daven port streets. It was the young woman's first visit to Omaha sinca her recovery from the shot fired last November by Nettie Bicdlor , who , thinking she had committed a murder , im mediately killed herself by firing a bullet through her own brain. Curiosity seekers who wont in Ihrongs packed iho. hull of Iho barracks last night 10 hear the surviving woman were sadly dis appointed. Those who expected a sensa tional story hsard nothing but a few of the details of the shooting. She said she never know before how it was to DO on the bank of the dark river , and whila going through darkness and sorrow she trusted in Jesus and He did not let her slide olT the burnt. Hcronly cxeuso for the shooting was that she told Iho Biodlcr woman lhat she did not have time 10 lalk to tor. Captain Smith's lecture wa > substantially the same as printed in Tiie Uci : some days ago. "Old Oreolo IJuyH. " Jf the author of ' 'GrandoPolnto" and "Tho Grnndissimos" were not so great a lictionist bo would undoubtedly bo famed as ono of the best dramatic readers of his tune. Mr. Cable appeared on tuo platform lu Omaha for the > first tlmo last evening in the Young Mori's" Christia'n association hall. The audl- once was small , but that fact only seemed to make more personal and consequently raoro delightful the relation between readers and auditors. ( . ? . W. Cable discovered Louisiana and Iho Oreolo to the busy world that lives apart from the sluggish , lingering bnyous. where uauso ana rc.st the tides from iho gulf , nod that world is grateful. Tbo author , to look ou , has nil of the charac teristics of the New Orleans man which bo is. His head is lurgo , tils hair black and thick. His eyes twinkle or gleam with his varying emotion. Ills frame Is spare , the conventional evening dross in which ho was mot last evening seems to ompuaslro it. Tbo story of "Posson Jono' " from "Old Cre ole Days" was told by Its author with that art which conceals art ; his hearers lived in the incidents nnd overboard the actors A graphic bit of description is the scene at tha bull fight In the booK ; to hear it described by Air. Cable is to sco it , sheer and vivid. The author , too , is a humorist of rare quality , and to listen to thu Widow lleilly nnd lo Narclsso is lo laugh and enjoy a quilo uncommon typo of the ridiculous.Thodramalio intensity of Mr. Cable's description of Mary Uichling's rio'e , with her baby and his on her bosom , Ibrough the union lines to the hospital bed of the father and husband , reaches a height in dra matic expression coequal with the conlus that conceived the story. This , tnough Mr. 'Cable's voice has evidently had none of the training thought necessary to success on thrj reader's platform. So few authors can interpret - terprot fittingly their own creations , lhat Mr. Cable's work Is particularly and pleas antly a surprise. A feature of last evening's entertainment was Mr. Cable's hinging two of Ibo characteristic lotk songs of the Creole- African. Tonight Mr. Cnblo will road , or rather present nnd Interpret , his " ( Jrondo Pointe , " considered by many his best work , nnd the Young Men's Christian association hall should bo crowded to hoar this most beauti ful Acadian prose idyl.

The already quite thorougii but constantly Iniprovlinj system of irrigation makes the r.ilslng of the o crops absolutely certain , nnd reasonably romunor- ntivo. The bast varieties of liunl waiter wheat yield from thirty to sixty bushels per ucro , and weigh from sixty-live to seventy pounds to the measured bushel. O.Us yield from forty bushels up to as Inch as'M \ nnd lll ! bushels In A few caaoi , tha gonor.il uvor- ago being about sixtv , and r.uigo' In weight from forty to forty-six pounds to the bushol. Potatoes were grown hero last season at the rate of 7"i bushels per ncro. Cabbage , onions , tomatoes nnd all gnrdcli vegetables grow to enormous slyc , and the quality Is ill- win H ot the very best. Tumo grasses alfalfa and timothy grow luxuriantly upon almost cvory ruiu-h , the former often furnishing three crept In ono so.ison. In Its prosunt stugu ol development stock raising Is nuxt In importauco to agri culture , and with each succeeding year thu two uru being moro generally and prolllubly combined. The days ot' the largo and uxclus Ivo stock conip.iulcs ute about over , and al moat every iitrmor is now the ownur of u small herd of cnttlu that range nt will on the unoccupied lands adjacent to the farm. In 1SUO about Wi',000 worth ol fat cattle were shipped out of Shur- idan county bv this class of men , and in IMIl tbo amount reached ever $ 100,000 , exclusive of the amount shipped by the largo stoeK cnmuiinlt's. lOach subsequent year will con- tluuo to see ihcso figures Increase , us our people are thoroughly imbued with the idea that farming and stock rablng combined can bo carried on moro profitably than oltheronn alone. The stock cots bettor care , there is a smaller pur cent of loss , nnd each individual animal arrives at n moro thorough and com plete slngo of development. A small bora of this class of cattle was sold for $ . " > ( ) per head on the range. With tbo apparent approach of hotter times than this country has BCOII for the past live years , comes un awakening of the ener gies characteristic of n western people. Now enterprises are springing into existence , which nro confidently oxpoctcd to servo the double purpose of developing the iwourcos of the county anil enriching their projectors. A company of homo capitalists will erect a larijo four-story flouring mill In this city uc- fore the new wheat crop comes im One member of the company is in the cast at this tlmo purchasing the machinery. It will bo run uy steam power nnd will mn'so thu thitd llrst-class llouring mill in the county. Another company will bring In un oxtcn- siva sawmill , planer and other attachments " necessary for" the manufacture of lumber , lath , shinties , etc. , from the tree. A third company is no\v nt work on the construction of a wagon road from Sheridan to the Bald Mountain mining camp and the Big Horn baMn. The road will bo completed In July and will inako that oxcollcnt and rapidly developing country tributary to Sheridan. Sheridan county also has vast mineral resources ' sources , but their' development is as yet in its embryonic stngo. Their vuluo will bo thoroughly tested before the snows of an other winior cover the mountains with their uhlto mantlo. and unless1 the present indica tions are very deceptive the mountain fast nesses will bo required to give -up a largo amount of treasure.
