AS A MISSIONARY, Special Dispatch to Tre By, WasniNeToN, March 23.—The Union Pacific has for some time been endeavor- ing to induce the inserior department to cede to it 900 acres of land of the Fort Kearncy reservation on the Kansas Pa- cific branch. The interior department has asked the company to advance some legal reasons why these valuable lands should be given to the company—that it has already secured all the land to which it is entitled for stations on the line of the rond. Judge Usher, solicitor of the road, some time since requested that the department should permit the road to furnish moral and not legal reasons. The moral reasons assigned are that the land 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 eflicient 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 has_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 matter,said the road might as well ask a grant of the en- tire state of Kansas, RAILROAD POOLS, Special Dispatches to The BEE.

The prevalent idea that the Havemeyers are monopolists of the sugar trade in the United States is indignantly denied by the representatives of tho house in Chicago., The gentlemen furthormore assert that Spreckels, who controls the entire sugar trade of the Hawaiian Islands, is fast encroaching on the markets of this country, and that he has been able already to destroy the in- terests of American sugar men in the markets of Omaha and St. Paul. Itis alleged that the Pacificrailroads are play- into the hands of Speckels, and in addi- tion to complaintsof certain sugar dealers west of Chicago, it is learned yesterday that a movement would soon be inaugur ated in this city looking toward free sugar altogether, or an abrogation of the Hawaiian treaty. ——— ARIZONA INDIANS, lack Wolfe Band Burns Down a Ranch.--Other Outrages.

FORTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS, HOUSE, Wasuisaros, March The house went into committee of the whole (Mr, Reagan, dem., Tex., in the chair) on the bonded extension bill. Mr. Herbort,(der.,Ala,resumed argu- was only by holdiug the distillers to law production aud consumption, Permanent reliof could that congress could expect to equalize | bo accorded the distillers | of CGieneral (iodfrey Weil only by compelling them to conduct their | business on a sound basis. Thoe passage of the bill would lead to an overwholm- ing demand forthe repeal of the whole tax on whisky. Mr. Clay (dom. Ky.) said the whisky industry was made logitimate by the governmont, and domanded the same protection from congress which was granted to any othor business or avoca- tion. He denied that the pending mensuro ombodied special logislation, and maintained, on the contrary, that its objoct was to make a genoral law and put whisky, beer and tobacco on the samo footing in regard to taxation. It wasa measure of rolief which would provent a crisis in the wost. When congress could do this without detrimont to tae public interest, it should be done. Mr. Thompson (dem. Kentucky) sup- ported the bill, which he said presented the question whother the government would bankrupt one class of its citizens when it did not require for any purpose money which would fall due for taxes. The question of temperance, said Thomp- son, was not involved in the measure, but if a fow tomperance *‘cranks” in the house would vote for the bill it would re- sult in keoping the whisky in bond and out of consumption. Mr. Milliken inquired whether, if the bill passed, the whisky would not be taken out of bond in tho course of time. Mr. Thompson replied that it would pass into consumption whon it was callod out by “‘temperance cranks,” for he had never seen one of that class who, before making a speech, would not step bohind the door and wot his whistle. Mr., Brockenridge (rop. Ark.) favored tho bill and made an oxhaustive spocch, going into the history of whisky legisla- tion and industry. Messrs Hiscock (rop.) and Ray, (rep ) of New York, both opposed the bill, Mr, Ray protesting against ‘‘the government bocoming wet nurse for the big baby whisky interest.’” Mr. Findloy (dom.
