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.

LONDON , Sept. 13. 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.
Bismarck's dispatch of August 31 is pitched
in such moderate tone that there suema a certainty
tainty of a pacific solution of the Cnrolim
question. It will ba difficult for such hot
lisaded publicans ai the Spaniards to force i
quarrel with Germany , whoso calmness nnd
fairness in this dispute hao aroused much sym
pathy in England. The high-handed way in
which Bismarck dealt \viih Now Guinea nnd
Zinzihar mirfht have been expected toprovoki
British Ill-will over Ihla seizure , of the Carp
lines , but not u newspaper of importance fails
; o recognize Germany's good faith. More-

WASHINGTON , Sept. 13. Turkish postal

The majority of Americana who go abroad and
got ni tar ns the Bospnorua do not care to
scribble their experiences in the harems of the
east upon n pieca of paper for tha odlficUion
of postmasters nnd others. They prefer
priuttd note paper and well gummed envel
oped , but our new American minister nt Con
stantinople , tha versatile and brilliant Sunset
Cox , has laid in a supply of postal
cards , and upon ono of them , ad
dressed to Mr. W. J , Ulrsblield , ha
has written "God bless Mr. Higgins. "

upon him a generoui amount of abuse by the

The message from the country uf mosques

ever was made unhappy by tha iuksllnglog ol

presented the postal card to Illgglns , and the

hung up in a conspicuous place in his office.
Postmaster General Vilas arrived this oven ,

luusly inquired far the latest news from the

INADEQUACY OF TIIE A1TROPBIATION FOR POST-
OFFICE LEASES.
WASHINGTON , Sopt. 12 , fAssJciated Press ] ,
At its last session congress ptseod
aa act authorizing the postmaster
general to lease buildlnpa occupied by
third-claa pnitofUcos. 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. Consequently the poitmaster-fjenoial
has been unable to carry out the provisions of
the act authorizing the leasing of third-class
offices , TliB'O are 1 72S third-p'ass offices and
it Ia estimated thar § 35JOlO will bi requited
annually to defray the expenses of leasing
suitable quarters fir them. 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.

PAiNEaviLi.it , U. , Sept. 12. Gov. Iloadl ;
addressed a large audlenco hero to-night upon
the Issues of tha state ctmpaign , Ilia nddrcs
was devoted In thamaln , however , to replying
to certain poittons of Senator Shoiman
speech at Hamilton upon tli3 southern quet-
tion , The speaker eald he WAS flattered b ;
the attention of Senator Sherman , ai he stooi
head and shoulders above every other republ !
can in Ohio. Yet ho had no hesitation , al
though a tyroMn polltics.in taking up tho'glove
for it ever ruan and argument wera clearly
nnd mischloviouBiy in the wrong , it was cnr
tainly true in this case. The speaker said tin
difference between tha statesman and tin
demagogue was that tin former addroeaec
himaelf to some wise and patriotic measure
for the benefit of the people , while In these
times the latter devoted himself to appoaliof
to the baser and meaner passions of the people
ple , of hate and enmity , of blowing the em
bars of the old dispute into blaze withou
any definite proposition of change , but simply
and solely for the purpose of aiding in a par
tisan political canvass , anil oven though he
may have been three or four times electee
senator , Senator Sherman , on this occasion
and this field , was playing the patt of the
demagogue.
Tha epoakor declared that Mr , Sherman
knowing that hU reelection to the senate ani :
possibly his candidacy for the presidency de
pended upon the vote of Ohio this fall , anc
knowing that the paoplo of Ohio were loya
and patriotic , opposed to the southern con-
fe'dernoy and were tatisfied with the result of
the war , ho sought to renew the battle fovei
that be miglt reap the reward In emoluments
and salary. The speaker reminded the sen-
atoi that his party had been In power twenty
four years , and if there were wrongs at the
south , why had not the party righted them"
More than ten years had elapsed Bincoamajor
tty of the southern stated threw tha shackles c
which the i epublican party tried to put upon
them and became democratic. H. B. Hayei
contrived a scheme of tending a commission
to Louisiana to settle the disputed question ol
who was elected governor of that state. The
result of this was submission to Governor
Nichols , who received fewer votes than Tildon
and Iloudrick ? , while his antagonist ? , Pack-
aid , had more votes than Hendrlcks. Nine
years have elap < ed since the last southern
stats became free from the tyranny of MOEC ? ,
of Warmoutb , of Packard , ol Bullock , ol
Browuslow , of Pease cf Tcxa , of Powell
Clayton You had the senate and you had
the house , and if there was any injustice to bo
remedied , why was it not donej 'The ' answer is
ea y. These is no such wrong , There are no
such facts.
The speaker devoted a long portion of his
address to showing that inTefmeasoo there-
publicans of the legislature successfully fili
bustered through two sessions of the legisla
ture to prevent a proper registration law to
prevent frauds at the polls. He referred to
the statement that he bad tou ht the release
From prison of Police Lieutenant Mullen , ol
Cincinnati , convicted of arresting colored
voters before an election. Ho confessed that
iio had done so , and that be had personally
asked President Cleveland for Mullens
pntdon. He claimed that Mullen raided a
a ex to gambling bonce and did confine in ja.il
eight or ten voters , among them a lot of Ken
tucky repeaters , and plea'ded guilty. He
lerved eight months and the speaker thought
10 had been punished sufficiently. lie de
clared that David M. Key was n Tilden
democrat down to the time of his appoint
ment In the cabinet of President Hayes , The
alter portion of the speech was confined to

Senator William Mahono figured this ; sfttr-
noon in nn attempt to oowhido two young so
ciety gentlemen of thla city. 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.
