OBICAOO Sept , 13 The following Is from the Time ) of this morning i Div eating report from tbo Trous-Contlnental meeting at til Paul of all niceties of language and subtlotio of expression , it may bo stated that tha also elation Is n moribund Institution and will soon become a ramlniscance , unless future steps betaken taken to revive it. Several tf the genera managers returned yesterday , and their unltet verdict is to that effect. Thn case , putting i briefly , stands as follows : The Southern Pa clfio repudiates the award of arbitrators anc absolutely ro'luson to pay its debt ] iacurrei under that division. Prior to nnnouncini that it would take that action , n resolution had been adopted th.t a settlement of th bujlncsa of tbo months of July , August am September should bo made on a baais of earn Ings of the previous three months , but the no tion of Mr. Stubbs procured an adjournmon without further canblderatlon of the matter The roads and parties thereto wil ndhero to the division unless th ogent n ! the Southern Pacific charge hla mi ad before ho reaches the PnclGo coast which heretofore has been the _ usual cours pursued by him. No provision is made for i division ot business alter September SO , ani 03 Mr Stubbi will notba bound by the tub : trator'a award , the asioclatlon will drift alon without a roatonabla excuse for its existence Such a state of nil lira would involve n doub ! Colorado pool and Pacific caast association , a their affairs are more or lees involved wit those ot the Trans-Continental , Any predlc tlons at to tbo future would bo extra baztrd OUP , as the courco of the Southern Pnctfi cnuuot bo mapped out nn any reasonable bail It may bo eately said , however , that If i does neb recede from ita present position 1 will bo forced to carry through its bn < inoes a figures that will leave a balance on the wroDj side of the ledger. In view of the disputes and troubles dis turbing the a'socUtion , and the internal dissensions sonsions that threaten to rend it asunder , a well as the strong probability that each lini will soon be competing far the throagh Liui ness on its own i expansibility , a recapitulation of the relative positions of tbo roaaa will bo Interesting. They are as follow * : Sunset route Steamers to Now Orleini and 2,500 miles by rail over the Southern Pa cific to San Francisco , Atchlson & Tupeka , and Atlantic ft Pacific route New York tn Kansai City \i Chicago cage , 1,110 miles ; Kansas City to Mojave via AtcbUon & Topeka and Atlantic & Pacific 1,733 miles ; and from Mojive to San Fran cisco via Southern Pucific , S82 miles ; total 3,555 miles. . Union Pacific route New York to Omaha via Chicago , 1,410 miles ; Omahx to Ogdon. 1,032 miles ; O den to Baa Francisco , 805 miles ; total , 3,307 miles. Oregon Snort Line mute New York to Omaha , 1-HO miles ; Omaha to Granger , 870 miles ; Granger to Huntlogton , 540 miles ; Huntington to Portland , 401 miles ; total. 8'JGO miles by rail , and in addition thereto IB the dlstnnca Irom Portland to San Francisco by water. Northern Pacific route New York to St. Paul , 1,247 miles ; St. Paul to Portland. 1 Oil miles ; tot 1 , S IDS miles , nnd In addition a steamship route from Portland to San Fran cisco , The only all rail routes to San Franolsco are tha Atcblion , Topeka & Santa Fa and thi Union and Central Pacific. Another all rail system can bo figured out by taking the Bur lington system to Denver and the Itio Grande to Ogden , and the Central Pacific to San Francisco. The fact that the section between Denver and Ogden is a narrow guage works against it , although It is a very good club to hold over the Union Pacific. Probably in two years time two more roads will reach Ogden the Northwestern , which Is extending rapidly with that point in view , and the Burlington , which will build from Grand Junction to a connection with the Rio Grande & Western , and change the gungo of the latter to standard , The Burlington people deny that they bavo any intention tomako this latter extension , but their denal is not credited , from the fact that every move they make In Colorado points to that conclusion , One would ba led to believe that nil this railroad building and reaching out was to cap turo a rich prize , or at least to force a division of traffic worth striving for. A railroad statis tician , who has been figuring on the business both eatt and westbound for the last three years , It authority for tha statement that the total through westbound business does not amount to two loaded trains of twenty CUB each per day , while the eastbcund h jmt about half that figure. When two of the transcontinental roads ara willing to haul wheat ad Utnnoo of over 1,000 miles for less than half a cent per mile , there cannot be any great quantity of paying freight in eight All of which goes to show that there ia a great deal of fnsi about a small matter , Tbo Central Pacific bai been Riving the Denver and Itlo Grands a portion of Its over land tea business , having furni'hed some thirty cars to that road at Ogden , It was necessary to break bulk at both Ogden and Denver , transferring to thi narrow gauge at tha former und the Burlington and Missouri broad gauge at Denver. The transaction Is looked upon aa a notification to the Union Pa cilia that In the evert of a war , the Denver and Illo Grande and the Burlington and Mis- Botui would make it prajliojlly independent of ita old connection.

Tha electoral campaign in the United Kingdom may be said to hav opaned with this week's speeches. Lor Hnrtlogton'a temperate utterances have bee : Followed byaddresses of n moro partisan typo ana In tbo ca < o of Mr. Chamberlain a distinci programme hni been enunciated for the fight ing wing of tht party. Lord Randolph Churchill'ii endeavor to convert Lard Hart ington and to win him over to tbo conserve tivcs was characteristic in ita daring , but has been overwhelmed byt the interest fait in Chamberlain's later utterances. Churchill' silence as to Parnell's tepiratiou programm not only disappointed conservative politician but encouraged Irishmen to believe that thei. hour for independence was not far off , Cham berlain thereupon seized his opporuutty , not withstanding nil hla previous sympathy fo many of Mr. ParneU'd demands , madi it plain tint the radicals will resist by over , possible means the l nt demand which Davit has instigated Parnoll to put forward. Th tremendous enthusiasm with which Chamber Iain's declarations have been received wil most likely induce the tory pirty to compe Churchill or eomo other leader to declar definitely for the union. The temper of th country , Englishmen say , will no more per mit a separata parliament in Dublin than th northern states would allow secession , THE CAROLINES QUESTION.

Tli3 amount oE the appropriation for leaning postoflico building , however , was on'y 8150,000 , or just about enough money to defray the expsnea of leas ing building ! for cilices of the first and second class.

It is probable that when congress meets a recommendation will ba made by tbo postmaster-general that an adequate appropriation be mada for thnso leases or that the act ba repealed.

The f ctB re garding the affair are furnished by one of the gentlemen nttacked by Mahono. The sona- ator B ron , Butler , has many friends nmonff the younger democrats of the city , and is Identified with them socially , there existing the most ngrccabU relations between them. Of late the young man , so the senator thought , had been Indulging in harmful dissipation , and the senator conclud ed that Butler's democratic associates were the CMiso of his delinquencies. With this conviction uppermost In his mind Maliono came down town this afternoon armed with a horsewhip , and determined to wreak ven geance upon his son's associates. The senator was accompanied on this warlike mission by Captain Atn Ilogora , He found hia son Butler in company with Alexander Donnan , jr. , and Thmiai Hunter , the three young gen. tleinen being in n group near the club house. As soon aa the senator saw the young gentlemen ho walked at once among them , and without explanation grossly insult ed Hunter taxing him with bjmg anther of Butler's last diistpation. Hunter did not resent the imputation , nnd then Donnao , who turned toward the Bonator , waa met by a atorm of abusive epi thets from the irate dignitary. The attack waa accompanied by a string of profanity. The senator also menaced Donnan with hla whip and accompanied the menaca with n remark that ho intended to cowhide him within an inch cf his lifo , Donnan , who ia very plucky but quit ! a young man , nt once supposed tno senator wan further armed , Hotlureforo produced a pen knife from his pocket , rushed upon the sena tor , ciught him by tba beard , and holding the knife dangerously near his facs , defied him to utter nnotuer word or make any motion with his whip. They confronted each other for a moment only. Had Snnator Mahorjo moved he would piobably have been stabbed , but before - fore the affair was allowed to culminate , Capt. llogers stepped between the two men and averted what promised to b3 a sanguinary encounter. Mahone was at once led off and High Constable Minotreo prevented Donnan from prosecuting tin matter further. Youthful "Woahliy NHUOUS Betting on the Turn , Special Telegram to the BEE.
