pending of the United SUtea agalnat the Union Pacific Railway Company and the Weitern Union Telegraph Company waa aetUed today by the unanlmoua de- aiaion ot the Supreme Court, announced In an oplninn delivered by Justice Harlan. The dedalon is one of the moat Important that has been made by the Supreme Court affecting the relations of the government and the Pacific railroads, declaring, as it does, that Congress has the right to add to, amend or alter the acts of granting aid In bonds and land to the company for the construction of ite line. The proceeding involved in the present decision was brought by the Attorney-Qeneral in pursuance to the direetions contained In the Anderson act of 1988. which required all companies engaged in operating railroad or telegraph lines which had been aided in any way by the government to maintain and operate through their own respective corporate telegraph lines for all purposes to exercise by themselves alone all tho telegraph franchises conferred upon them. The suit was brought In the Circuit Court for the eighth circuit, and was originally heard by Judge Brewer, who decided the agreements between the Western Union and the Union Pacific company, by which the former held exiduslve right to operate the telegraph lines along the railroad of the latter, to be null and void, end directed the Union Paoiflo to at cmee put an end to all relations between it and the telegraph company, and to operate Its own line of telegraph.

The case went to the Circuit Court of Appeals, and Judges Caldwell and Thayer reversed Judge Brewer in a modified decree, holding generally that the end sought by the government could be secured only by other legal meana and dismissing the bUl for want of Jurisdiction. The Supreme Court, by Its decision tor fiay, reversed the decree of the Court of Appeals, and affirmed that of Judge Brewer at circuit. Justice Brewer took no part in the oonBlderation of the case before tho Supreme Court. OPINION. In hts opinion Justice Harlan said, in to the object and scope of the Pacific railroad acts, that the first eighteen sections of the acta of 1862-64 are vrholly Inconsistent, the Idea that the Union Pacific Railroad Company could have fulfilled Us obligations to the government by simply oonatructing a railroad, without making any provision whatever for the construction or operation of telegraph Une, thereby leaving ail conuDunication by telegraph along Its route to the absolute control of private corporatioiu, deriving no authority from national government, and whose operations would not ordinarily be subjected to national supervMon." As to the power ef Congress to alter amend tho acts of 1862-64, after discussing their provisions at longtb, Jua- said; peroelve no escape from the conclusion that it is entirely competent for Congress to add to, alter or amend those atcts, so as to require the Union Pacific Railroad Company (having the rights and exercising the powers of Its constituent companies), to maintain and operate, by and through its own officers and sm- ployesA telegraph lines for railroad and other purposes, and to exercise itself and alone the telegraph franchises conferred upon it.

It is enjoying the bounty of the government, subject to thp condition, among others, that It would perform duties whenever eo required by The opinion further holds that since the passage of the act of 1866 no telegraph company can, by contract with a railroad company operating one of the post roads of the United States over which the interstate commerce, is conducted, acquire SLn exclusive right to such railroads for telegraph purposes. The cfiuae was remanded to the Circuit Court, with inatruotions to make a supplemental decide the period In Which the railroad and telegraph companies itaay make such arrangements, adjustments and changes as shall become necessary by reaaos of the annulling of the contracts between them, to carry out the provbdone of the final decree of that court. w. WASHINGION. Nov, lA-The Western Union Telegraph and Union Pacific road.

Qompsmlee won one governmental coae In 48ie Supreme Court of the United States today, the being hr Juetlce Harlan. In this ease. In 1888, the government eued-In the southern district of New York to recover 118.486 paid for the transmission gf telegrams over the Union Pacific wires, operated by the Western Union, which, by the act of 1878, should have been retained by the government, and applied, in part, to the interest account of the railroad company with the United States, and bi part to the sinking fund. The eourt, below found for the defendant companies, on the ground that there was way to determine whether or not the messages were sent over tho wires owned hy the raUroad company or over those af the telegraph company, and that the government had never asked or required that the accounts be so kept as to khow this. This Judgmeiit the Supreme Court affirmed.

The fire, the passion, the dracnatlo fsrvor and Intensity which she holds ai her finger tips lay dormant for laok of opportunity. Moreover the piece itself is not one to either entertain or instruct an audience: It Is one of earlier works and has undergone no Improvement at the hands of adapters. Miss company is fairly well balanced. Effio Shannon had a small part In Marthe, which she played prettily, and Miss Emerson was also effective as Madame De Thauxette.

Joseph Frankau was Percy Vere; WllMara De Vere, Ooodfellow Gunning, while some of the women who added greatly by their winning presence were Agnes Rose Lane, Agnes Paul, Etta Gilroy, Rose Sutherland and Paulina EJdwarda. The piece abounds in mirth and music brought up to date, and a large audience enjoyed the performaxibe Immensely. New songs and scenes have been added by Mr. Hoyt, who has given much personal attentkm to the play.

Mrs. Mason seemed to be in perfect physical health, and she certain ly was in good veiea, for her several numbers were rendered with clearness and rood effect- She was warmly greeted upon her first appearance, and the applause was generous at ths son- cluslon of each number. Press Eldridge proved to be as great a favorite as ever, his monologue being Irresistibly laugh-provoking. George Fuller the refined evening dress entertainer, told funny stories inimitably and sang catchy songs in a plsaslng voice.

Canfield and Carleton were seen in a new and original sketch that was very entertaining. Canfield's makeup Is certainly exceedingly oomic, and Miss Carleton Is a shapely and pretty soubrette. An entertaining feature of the progrr.mme was the act of the Metropolitan Tftree, which la made up of excellent and vocal numbers. Drawee, the phenomenal Juggler, gave an exhibition of peculiar talent that was very wonderful; Major Newell danced on roller skates on the stage and on a small pyramid; the St Bclmos performed some wonderful feats on double flying trapeze; Darling sisters danced lously; Gilson and Matthews gave a funny Irish sketch, and Hanley and Jarvis entertained with vocal and tostruroental music. Mazus and Abaeco are a clever pair of acrobats, who give an exhibition of skill disguised as a tramp and a railroad brakeman, and Burt Jordan Is one of the 08 expert buck and wing dancers In America.

Sirron and Slmkin, the funny burlesque jugglers, and Diantas brothers, tho French grotesques and hat spinners, were received with as much favor as last week.

Mr. Gaylor has long been favorably known in vaudeville, and in the incidental happenings of his rapid grrowth from the recently-landed emlgrrant to candidate for mayoralty, he was funny in all the possible significance of that muoh-abused word. There is a murder, a lost will, detectives and lively specialties in the piece, by whose good use the moments of anxiety for the hero alternate with rollicking fun. The scenery is strikingly good.
