The Roafls { Interested in the Utah Bnste Temporarily Bnry the Hatchet , ThoTrnnflcontlnciKnl Pool Troubles The TrlpArtlto Combination. The war of extermination which has boon waged between the Union Pacific and Denver & Ilio Grande over since the completion of the latter company's line to Salt Lake City and Oydon , Utah , has boon brought to a conclusion without anybody having boon exterminated. The Tight has boon a most bitter ono , and during the last flvo or six months the rates from the Missouri river to Utah points were 25 ccnU per 100 pounds on all classes of freights. AJI the Utah business was therefore carried virtually at a dead loss , and had it not been for the tact that the Utah business proper docs not amount to very much , the losses to the roads engaged would have boon enormous. Even as it was the roads were severely punished , and they were only too glad to cmbraco the first opportunity "to shako hands across the bloody chasm" and make an arrangement by which paying rates can bo secured on the Utah business hereafter. All the roads west of the Missouri river interested itt the Utah business were represented at the mooting hold at the Grand Pacific hotel , in Chicago , on Friday afternoon. There were present J. 0. Stubbs , Central Pacific ; P. P. Shelby , Union Pacific ; A. L. Hughes , Denver & Rio Grande ; Thomas Miller , Burlington & Missouri ; and J. F. God- dard , Atchison , Topeka & Santa Fo. The Chicago Tribune says : There was no difference of opinion regarding the conflict. All were agreed that it was a suicidal ono , and if persisted in any longer would demoralize the rates on all other business west of the Missouri river After some discussion it was decided to stop the war and to form a gross pool on Utah business. So anxious were all to bring the fight to a close that percentages wcro much moro readily agreed upon than is usually the case when now pools are formed. It was decided to christen the now-born child the "Utah Taril Association. " All business to and from Utah points between the Pacific coas < and the Missouri river , both east and west-bound , excepting grain and farm products , is included in the now pool. The agreement is to date from January 15 , 188-1 , and is to remain in force until July 1 , after which time any road dis satisfied with the arrangement may give 00 days' notice of withdrawal , nt the ex piration of which time -tho pool is then to bo terminated. The now pool ie therefore certain to bo in existence foi nearly ton months nt least. By that time the other complications between the roads west of the Missouri river will have taken such shape that there will bo no great difficulty in deciding what should bo done with the Utah business. The rates will bo advanced next Mon day , and after that date no shipments will bo taken at loss than the old tarifl rates in effect between the Missouri rivet and Utah points before the war between the Union Pacific and Denver & Ric Grande was inaugurated. The now rates are all the way from ? 3 per IOC pounds on first class to 75 cents on ope cial class. Mr. Goorpo H. Daniels was electee commissioner of the now association ir addition to his duties as commissioner ol the Colorado Pool association , whicl position ho has occupied for some tinu past. His headquarters will bo at Don vor. vor.Tho agreement was made subject tc the approval of the general managers ol the various roads , but thnro can bo bul little doubt that it will bo promptly ratified fiod , as the representatives of the varioui roads acted under instructions from thoii general managers. The TranBCoutliicntAl Troubles. No now developments in the Trans continental association imbroglio transpired pirod on Friday , says The Ohicag < Tribune , and the indications are tha matters will now remain in statu qui until February 0 , when the Union Pa cifio will claim to bo no longer a momboi of the association. The question wil then como up whether the Union Pa cific's notice of withdrawal given at th Topeka mooting , November 8 , is valid The opponents of the Union Pacific stil insist that it cannot withdraw until i gives a ninety-days' notice of withdrawn in writing. An attempt is to bo made t < compel the Union Pacific to fulfill it.s ob ligations under its agreement until afto the expiration of such now notice. Th opinion is that the Union Pacific canuo bo forced to remain in the association i it really desires to withdraw , an the performance formanco of agreements by railroads can not bo enforced. Hopes are still expressed , however that tlio association will not bo dissolved and the general freight and passengo agents of the various roads , togotho with Commissionoi Ristiiio , are still engaged gaged in tlio task of adopting rules am regulations. The general passcngo agonto wore in session all day Friday dovisiug rules for the transaction of th passenger business. The principal war done consisted in drawing up a circuln regulating the sale of tourists' , thoatri cul , half-faro , and other special ticket * The arrangements differ but little fret that heretofore in effect. The only in portunt change is that parties of 70 c moro , in whoso faro hotel and other oa ponscs are included , may return over or other route than the ono ever which the started west without extra cost. The impression prevails that the 'f ram continental association is a pool. This an error. It is a trollio combinatia similar to the Northwestern Tralllo assi elation. Each r ad got * all the businoi ' it carries , but uniform rates must I maintained , and the commissioner is I keep u correct acc&unt of all the businei done by each line and to investigate n charges of a violation of rates. In case road ia found guilty of having violate the rates , it is to bo fined for ouch oll'oni throe times the amount of earnings tin ID would have accrued from the businci > , had it been taken at the regularly cstal lishod rate , but not loss in any case thn $000. Each company has todoposit wit seine solvent bank , to the order of tl commissioner , the HUIII of $5,000. Fro ; that sum all fines uro to bo collected I the commissioner. The fines are to 1 distributed among the non-offcndir roads in proportion to their carniuj from the business subject to this agro > moiit. It was the understanding whc the agreement was made that after tl fust year of its existence a pool was bo formed , and the percentages fixed c the basis of the business dono. For th reason seine of the roods have used r " possible means thus far to make as larj a showing as possible during the yea nnd in tills scramble for business tl Union Pacific has been worsted , whi < accounts for its desire to either got out of the combination or have a now ar rangement mndo that will give it a bettor show. The Tripartite Meeting Ijlkoly to IJo Postponed. The opinion prevails , says The Chicago Tribune , that the mooting between the Western Trunk Line association and the Burlington , to bo hold in Chicago Janu ary 17 for the purpose of considering the proposition to pool the Nebraska ousi- ness between the association and the Burlington will probably not como oT ( that day. General Manager Potter , of the Burlington , has gone west , and it is doubtful wnothor ho will bo able to re turn in time to attend. President Per kins is in the cast , and the indications are that ho will alto bo unable to bo hero in timo. It is understood that a post ponement until January 2 < i will bo ankcd for , and , as without the presence of the Burlington no action can bo taken , the request will have to bo granted. The proposition to pool the business with the western trunk line association is not likely to bo accepted by the Bur lington , From what can bo learned the latter is willing to pool provided it gets all its own business via Plattemouth and a fair share of the Council Bluffs and Omaha business , including a share of the Union Pacific ) business at these points. The combination roads say they will not entertain such n proposition. They are willing that the Burlington should take all the business going via PJatUmouth , but they are not willing to' give it a share of the Union Pacific busi ness at Omaha and Council Bluffs. As "both parties are determined to maintain this position it is hard lo BOO how a rup ture can bo avoided. It is quito proba ble , however , that an open light will bo staved off for some time by bringing up all sorts of propositions for an amicable agreement that will require time for con sideration. _ _ _ _ How Children Had "Fun.

Ixindnn Letter to The Ilattford Times. "A riuht little , tight little island , " is Great Britain , na the old song properly aays ; but her railway interests , consider ing the territory they cover , will bonr comparison , in point of magnitude , with these of any country , not executing the United States. The total number of miles open to trafllo last year was 17,933. The number of passengers convoyed , exclusive clusive- season tickot-holdors , was (103- ( 885,125. Number of miles travelled by passenger trains , 122,548,258 ; by goods ( or frieght ) trains , 115,408,845 ; by mixed trains , 2,9l,391 ! ) ! ; total , 240,950,494. The total number of persons killed on the British railways in 1882 was 1,121 ; num ber injured during the year , 4C01. The railway traffic in this city is simply im mense. Sixteen hundron and nine trains start every day between 10 a. m. nnd 11 p. m. for the London termini , which is rather more than on average of two n ininuto. Nor docs this calculation include the underground trains. During the same time 2,200 trains nro dispatched from the London termini , 1,750 of which arc devoted to traflic within an area of thirty miles around the metropolis , thrco hundred and ninoty-fivo trains leave Broad street alone , each day , while 321 start daily from Liverpool ttroot. To see what the railway traffic of London is like , ono should go to Clapham junction , where the uront systems connect. The rails lie together like the wires of a grand pianoand sixteen hundred trains run over them every day. In and out , coining and &going , slow trains and fast trains , seemingly in utter confusion , but all , in reality , being perfectly timed and con trolled in the moot exact manner by sig nals. No ono is allowed to cross the lines except the officials , and these , like railway men the world over , grow foolhardy - hardy from long familiarity with danger , and now and than como to grief. On an average ono man is killed there every six weeks ; and after watching the traffic for a time , ono wonders that somebody is not killud every day. The total number of men engaged in the railway service of Great Britain is 325,000 , and of those 100,000 are connec ted with the regular trnilie. In most of the departments promotion is gradual and by merit. Before a man can blos som into a full-flodged engineer ho must have served an apprenticeship , first as cleaner and afterwards as fireman. En gineers who have charge of the fastest trains make as much as $30 a week , but these employed in local trafic seldom gel moro than half that sum. These , how- orcr , faro much bettor than these en gaged in other branches of the service. Station masters are divided into thrco classes. These bolongihg to the third class got about $7 a week and a house , usually with a little garden attached. Ai second-class stations , many ot which have a vary largo traflic , the agent gets house and garden and about $9 a week. The salary of first-class station agents varies , but is always wretchedly small , consider ing the work and responsibilities on tailed. The English railway guard an swore to the American conductor , but his duties karo different , and his wages , o course , much smaller. Ho has nothing to do with the tickets or faros. These at small stations , are collected b ; the otation agents when thi passengers alight , the doors and gates oi the station being locked for the purpose and when a largo station is being ap prnachod the tram is haltoi a distance outside , and the regular ticket-collector tak'es up the chips. The work of the guard is to watch the signals to see tha the train starts on time and in proper order , that is , with everybody aboard am the carriage doors all closed and fastonec and to attend to the putting oil'at the proper stations of the passongors'luggago. For this ho gota $6 or 87 a week , auc the guards on freight trains receive stil less. But ( ho poor porter is the worsl off. American visitors will surely nol begrudge the trifling "tips" they drop into the itching palm of this much-ubusec Eublio servant , when they know that the ighost wages paid to his class is 17 shil lings , or 81.25 , a weokl The gratuities that fall to him average from 01.25 tc $2.60SYeoklyso that ho is poorly enough paid even when ho does his best to help himself out of the pocket of susceptible minded passengers. These connected with English railways who have the greatest responsibilities am deserve the largest share of sympathy are the signal won. The signals consis at night of rod , green and white lights the first signifying danger , the soconc caution and the 'other safety. By day the signals are given by arms workoc from the top of high posts. When the arm protrudes horizontally the way ! blocked ; when it is extended downwards at an angle of forty-fivo degrees thi approaching train is thereby admonishec to move carefully , but when the arm has fallen to a perpendicular position it may go forward at full snood. Each mai controls a largo number of these arms ia and lights , in addition to manipulating the points and switches , in the locality The work is done by means of lovers and the signalman's box , which occupio an elevated position and has windows oi all sides , sometimes contains a score o more of those. The mental and physica attain incident to such work is very great , and the constitutions of the mm usually break down at middle ago. It i proverbial that there is not a single man in the service over forty years old whos hair has not turned gray. The shape of English railway cars , an _ ( their division into first , second and thin class , are things with which Amoricai readers are qutto familiar. The first-clas compartment carrier six passengers , urn each has a soft arm-rent on each side o him and a reclining upholstered back to loan against. The seat is more'comfort to able than these afforded in the ordinary toY American car , but uot as much so o ii Ya the American parlor cars. The second a claas has aho a soft sout and back , but i of mums the arm rests and allows leas spac - for each passenger. In the third you ill must sit fiyo on a nido , instead of three ns i the first , but in long distance train the tlnrd-claes compartments gonorallj have cushioned seats. The third-clas carnages on local trains are of roughe pattern , and you moot in them , often a very coarse cl-us of people. But i you are going far on an express your companions , with now and thou ai will bo woll-drocsed wall-be- ixcoption , - , - - mvod and highly respectable. There is saying that only "princes and Amori- ans" ride first-class , and it is a fact that ono but the very wealthy or fastidious o to. In 1882 there was an increase of no million pounds in the third class ro- oipts as compared with the previous car , and tHrd class trafllo is now much nero than double first and second class ogcthor ; the amounts being third class 0,381,000 pounds , and first and second lass 7 , 170 , 000 pounds. The cost of the iflbront grades is about as follows : First lass , 4 cents n mile ; second , 3 cents ; liird , 2 cants with a slight allowance on ach according to the distance traveled. The rate of speed made by railway rains is bettor litre , on the average , thnii n the United States ; though yon have omo trains that will compare favorably vith the f.iecst in this country. The ruu known as the "Flying Dutchman" if the Great 'SV'ostcrn railroad runs from Condon to Bristol , a distance of 1181 miles , in 2 hours 3G minutes , or at the ate of 45.3 miles per hour , including we stops of 11 minutes. Excluding these tops , the speed is 49 miles per hour. 'ho distance from London to Swindon , 71 miles , is made in 1 hour and 27 min- tcs , without stopping , or at the rate of 3.3 miles per liour. Water is invariably akon up by suction while the train is oing at full speed , and the rate of pro- .ress is greatly helped by the smooth , ovol-graded and well-ballasted road ways. The inconveniences attendant upon oilway travel in Great Britain arc very , rcat. Excepting on the few lung dis- anco trains that have Pullman cars at- ached , there are no places for retirement , and no fires. In the coldest weather ron foot-rests , containing hot water , are upplicd , but they are scarcely over avail able for all the passengers , and are a ) oor substitute , at best , for your hot toyes or stcam-hcatinq apparatus. No rain is without smoking carriages , but ho compartments are so small and the ondoncy of the English to smoking itrong'Sinolling pipes is BO great , that in weather when it is not comfortable to have .ho windows lowered , the atmosphere is lickoning in the extreme. Of course , .hero is no such thing as walking into mother compartment when your cigar is done. The English railway carriages are iko the Jews and Samaritans of old , who had no connections with each other. But the greatest inconvenience is in egard to baggngo. The passenger must coop this on his mind from the begin- ng to the end of his journoy. lie must see that it is put in the van at the place of starting ; and when his destination is reached , or a change of trains has to be nade , ho must jump from his carriage .ho moment it stops and rush frantically o the same van to BOO that it is put on" and taken care of. Sucli a scrimmage as occurs around the baggage vans when a crowded express train pulls into a metro politan station , is worth going a long listanco to see , if you are fond of oxcito- nent. The wonder is that many frauds do not occur. Anybody can claim any thing if ho is earliest in the field , and for throo-ponny bit a porter will hustle it nto a cab , and off you go bcforo any body has time to protest. As a matter of fact , however , there is little thieving of this kind practiced , and very little iuggago is permanently lost. On some lines the American system of checking is being introduced , but it is not much patronized as yet , owing to the additional charge the accommodation entails. The small and close compartments into which the railway carriages are divided tiavo their advantages and their disadvan tages. In promoting sociability they are a great success , for the passengers , sit ting close together , and in opposite rows , cannot for shame ignore ono another's presence ; and it often happens in long journeys that former strangers become quito well acquainted with each other. But when there are only two in the car riage a lady and gentleman , and ono ol those is unscrupulous , an opportunity for scandal occurs such as could not arise under the American system. To say nothing of the many base attempts made by men upon women , a case has just oc curred in which an abandoned female came near destroying the reputation of a gentleman by false charges made ugainst him because ho would not submit to merciless extortions at her hands. hands.n. n.
