And Mr, Hubbard is Ready to Show His Error, The Texas Pacific's Land Grant Declared Forfeited. No Words and Only One Vote Recorded Against It Other Land Grants Forfeited—Con- gressional Prooeedings In Detail, FROM WASHINGTON, ! WESTERN UNION'S RATES. NaToN, January 31,.—Dr. Nor- vin (ireen, president of the Western Union, Telegraph company, addressed the senate committee on postoffices and postrads opposing the proposed govern- ment control of the telagraph. Heo said unless there was_something defective in the eervice rendered there scemed no reason why the government should take hold of the telegraph. He maintained that we had telegraph facilities in larger proportion to population, and better and cheaper service, than any country of KEurope. He explained the apparently cheaper rates of Europe by saying that there a message was counted once in every country through which it passed, while in this country it was counted but once. Pross matter, moreover, was dropped at many points in the United States and delivered as mauy messages while only the one copy filed was counted, thirty words being counted as a message. A senator asked for the explanation. He thought the statement an extraor- dinary one, and referred to the rates in France as being only twenty cents for twenty words within the limits of that country, and the average wasa half a cent a werd in other European countries. He cited therates from France to Algiers, two thousand miles, which were only twenty tents for twenty words, Dr. Green replied that no company could send twenty words for twenty cents without loss. A new tarift was in process of proparation, to go into effect the 1st of March, giving a maximum rate of one dollar, for which sum a mesSage could be sent four thousand five hundred miles, from Halifax to Washington ter- ritory. Dr. Green, referring to press contracts, said he would furnish the com- mittee a copy of the contract with the Associated Press. It was manifest that papers could get cheaper work done by the association, and that the Western Union companycould not trans- mit press dispatches to single papers at as low a rate as it could carry the dis- patches of an association. A careful es- timate of the cost of press work per- formed by the Western Union company should ayerage six and one-half cents per 100 words. Referring to the talk about the accumulated wealth in the hands of individuals and corporations. Dr. Green said he had decome satistied that the great power of England consisted in the wealth of her citizens. Much of this capital was invested abroad, and about £160,000,0000 sterling were derived from it, mush of it goiny from this coun- try. In conclusson he asked that the West- ern Union company be heard before the committee through an attorney, and that the committee fix a day when it would hear William M. Evarts, Gardner C. Hubbard stated to the committee that he desired to be heard, and would attempt to controvert some oints made by Dr. Gireen. Dr. Green Eud said that unless something was defec- tive in the service, no reason existed for government interference. He would un- dertake to show that there wassomething defective in the Western Union service— that their rates are excessive; in other words, if they had a rate notexceeding60 cents for the whole country, they would make more money, give better service than at present rates, and that one com- pany could not serve the country when allowed to capitalize as rapidly as it pleased without reference to the value of property. CHANDLER CRITICISED, During the discussion in the senate on the Greeley bill Sscrcu? Chandler was quite severely criticised by Mr. Sauls- bury and McPherson, both charging that as soon as the senate adopted a provision to which the secretary was opposed he would set to work to counteract the senate’s action. Saulsbury trusted that the senate would not abdicate its functions in favor of the secretary of the navy, or anybody else. McPherson thought the amount to be expended should be limited. As it steod it would give the secretary power which congress ought never to give any officer of the government, He wished it understood without any reservation whatever that the secrotary of the navy did not seem to comprehend that the ple of this PAVING PROPOSALS.

AN INDIANA RATLWAY ACCIDENT, INpiaxaronts, January 31,--The south bound ‘accommodation train of the In- dianapolis & Chicago air line, due at 10:30 this morning, met with a terrible acei- dent at Broad Ripple. At that point tho railway orosses White river on a truss- bridge of two spans, ecach 150 feet in length. The engineer had gone into the baggage-car, and the locomotive was in charge of the fireman, When the loco- motive reached the center of the bridge the fireman felt the structure sinking, He had his hand on the throttle, whicl he opened, giving the locomotive all available steam. ,l(‘ha engine sprang for- ward with great force, breaking the coup- linga botween the tender and bagge-car. It kept the track, but the baggage, smoking oar and another coach d.rop[mg through and wore piled up in & mass at the foot of the piers. The smoking car partially tele- scoped on the baggage car and the wreck was partially submerged. The portion above the water immediately took fire. The fireman states that when he looked after the locomotive he had reached the south end of the bridge and the cars were on fire, the smoke obscuring the scene. A wrecking train with surgeons and other assistanco was sent to Broad Rip- ple and on reaching the wrecked bridge found the cars yet burming and those present 80 lacking presence of mind as to bo unable to extingush the flames or afford relief to the sufferers. Officials of the road went to work systematically, and ina short time the fire was extin- guished and o search for bodies be- gun. Six persgne were either killed or burned to death and their remains were recovered, burned and charred almost beyond recognition, and horribly muti- lated. The only means of identification was by incombustible trinkets known to be the property of the dead. Following is a list of the dead: John Brewer, La- fayette, Ind., engineer; J. E.
