ACCUSE IT OF BAD FAITH
Union Pacific Officials So Ohargo the
Short Line Management.
BITTER FEELING BETWEEN THE ROADS
Agreement trllli ( he Ilia Ornmlc

Mmlc While Yet Trrntiiifc
ITHli < lic Union Tactile.
The explanation of the hostile feeling exist
ing between the odldala ot the Union Pacific
aud of the Oregon Short Line , as stated In
jeaterday's lisuo of The Bee , lies In the fact
that the Short Line people proceeded to close
ft traffic agreement with the Illo Grande
Western * hllo negotiations with the Union
I'aclflc were still pending. That this was
the ciuae of the rupture Is acknowledged by
Union Pacific offldals In thl city. The mat
ter formed the principal subject of conver
sation throughout local lallway circles ves
terday.
Haliroad men generally ( support the action
ot the Union Pacific official ! , when not speak
ing merely for their own line , but upon
the matter of good faith and fair treatment
( n making railroad negotlitlona. Although
the officials of other lines hailed with dcllslit
the opening of the Ogden gateway because
of the chance It save them to get Into the
northncttt territory , they do not hesitate to
condemn as an unprecedented act of bad
faith the action ot the Short Line officials In
concluding ntgotlillona with the Rio Grande
"Western vvhllo they were etlll In conference
with the officials of the Union Pacific re
garding traffic arranRements.
Said a railroad official to a Bee reporter
yesterday : "I guess the Short Line people
vvon t find their wool buslntfc , which forms
the chief traffic from that part ot the conn
try. quite so profitable now. Heretofore they
liave been allowed payment of 175 miles fet
every 100 miles the business was actually
carried. No\ > they will receive pamcnl on
the ba U of 100 rallcw for every 100 miles
of actual mileage , and no more. That will
malic considerable difference In their earn
ings , I fancy. Ilealdes , they cannot , by their
new connections , make as quick time with
their freight to the Omaha , Kansas City
or Chicago market * by from twenty-four to
thlrty-eix hours , as by the connection they
just decided to Ignore. The Short Line people
think they have made a deal that -will
Ercatly swell their earning * , but they maybe
bo disappointed when the first annual state
ment l made up "
Said another railroader , whose position Is
nucli aa to emphasize whatever he says :
"Railroading , as well as politics , makes
strange bed fellows. Now here's the case
of W. H. Bancroft , the general manager of
the Short Line. Tor years past there has
been a most hostile feeling between him and
General Manager Dodge of the Rio Grande
Western. They wouldn't speak to each other.
and It one saw the other coming along on
the came elde ot the street he would cross
to the opposite etde or go around the block.
There cvuld not have been any more bitter
feeling than there was there. Now , they
are thicker than two peas In a pod , and Mr.
Bancroft hardly notices the men o ( the Union
Pacific , who gave him every position he ever
held , and who went out of their way to help
Mm Into his present position. "
"LOW J < mTV WANT A SCCItnTAIlV.
Moot .Mo ii ilny to Acrree Upon n Mnn
for the I'lncc.
There will bo a meeting ot the local pas
senger association on Monday to elect an
other secretary. W. A. Russell , who was
elected about ten days ago to that position ,
left for Kansas City Thursday , where he
will act as temporary secretary of the local
passenger association. The reason why the
"low joints" will have to take another
crack at the question of a secretary Is said
to be because of ( ha refusal of ode of the
Omaha lines to allow sufficient wages to bo
paid to retain Mr. Russell In this city.
Just who the new secretary will be Is a
matter of conjecture. All the candidates
who were after the place two weeks ago ,
with the exception of Martin J. Dowllng , are
in the field again. He withdrew from the
race this morning. The name of J. W. Mumi
of the Elkhorn. who nude such an efficient
secretary for the local association prior to
Its disruption , has been again brought for
ward , and a , majority of the lines are known
to favor his election. It la necessary to
V have a unanimous and not a mere majority
vote In order to elect. It is barely pc * > -
slblo that the line that refuses to allow
the secretary more than a picayune com
pensation will be prevailed upon to raise
Its limit , and In that case Mr. Russell may
return. Many consider It likely that Chair
man Caldwell of the Western Passenger as
sociation will appoint a temporary secretary
to servo here until th < > " ! ow Joints" arc
able to harmonize matters.

nerved for a year In the supply department
of the Union Pacific and was promoted to

In reply to questions that there bad be n no
forcing of the Baltimore & Ohio to maintain
rates at the meeting ot last Tuesday. Ho
* ald that Mr. Murray and himself had a
pleasant Interview with Presidents Thomas

on the principle that the Baltimore & Ohio
had nothing to gain by cutting rates and
everything to ga.n by maintaining them.
The first proposal was that the Baltimore
& Ohio would absolutely maintain rates and
agree to abide by any award for reparation
made by President M. n. Thomas of the Erie
In case of a failure , provided other roads
would do the i ? a mo. This offer was not ac
cepted , and the second , to absolutely main
tain rates , provided other roada do the same ,
and confine business to a fixed jicrccntaco
of New York traffic , aa named In the propo
sition , was accepted.

MADRID , June 4. The o.uecn regent con
ferred last evening with the president of the
Senate , Marquis Pare lie la Merrxed. The
latter after the conference said that ho had
1'olntod out to her majesty that the con
tinuance In office ot .Scnor Cnnovns del
Castillo would constitute the best solution
ot the crisis. This opinion Is shared by
tha president of the Chamber of Deputies ,
Sfnor A. Pldal , who Is to have a con
ference with the queen regent today.
Marshal Martinez dc Campos Is on his
way to Madrid , but , as he in not Identified
with any party , lie Is not concerned tn the
crisis from a political standpoint and will
give bis attention to other questions , cspc-
claltv to that relating to the Cuban situa
tion.
tion.Senor
Senor FrnncUco Slhela , the leader ot the
dissident conservatives In the Chamber , Is
among the politicians who have been sum
moned to the pnlncu.
The Hcr.ililo understands that the pro
posed Paris branch of the Bank of Spain
will not be established , the negotiations on
the subject having fallen through
Mamhal Martinet do Campca arrived here
today and went Immediately to the palace.
Every one Is convinced that the main ques-
tlcn at l ! i'o In the present crisis Is the selec
tion of a now govcnior of Cuba , capable ot
convincing the people that Spain Is In ear
nest In the matter of colonial reforms. The
crisis Is likely to bo prolonged , but there la
a significant change of tone visible In the
conservative papers , which are beginning to
hint that the future fate oC the conservative
purly Is not altogether dependant on Captain
General Wejlcr.
The Impression gains ground that rather
than see the liberals In office the conscrva
lives would consent to recall Weyler , and It
Is believed that-Marshal Martinez Camped Is
willing to replace him. U is understood that
Senor Sagasta Informed the queen regent
that If the liberals came Into office through
the refusal to countenance foreign dictation
the recall of Weyler would among the first
steps taken. The queen regent Is expected
to consult Marshal Blanco and DomlnRiiez
tomorrow In respect to Cuba , nnd there Is
great anxiety to learn the result of the IOIIR
conference between her majesty and Marsbal
Campos. . . .
The reports that Captain General A\cjler
had offered to resign the supreme command
In Cuba are scml-ofUclally denied.

MOMO.NK LAKE , N. Y. , Juno 5. The Mo-
honk International arbitration conference to
day adopted the following declaration ot
principles :
The clvl'lxfil world may-well rejoice nt the
unprecedented proKrefs in the cnmo of In
ternational arbitration during the pist yenr.
\Ve * deplore the tenuxjrnry check to the
cause by the failure of the < cnnte to rntlfy
the proposed tronlv with Unhand , but wn
recall the majority of the senate , large ,
thouKh le-H than the nectnry two-thirds ,
nnd we believe that while t e * mall minority
h < > ne tly oppj cd It , their teuton * were not
such ns to command permunent support.
The overwhelming majority of the court
should only be stlmulntcu by thH temporary
failure to more realout Activity , urging our
executive to renew the treaty with such ,
modllcntlon ! . If ny , ns inny be approved
In the llRht of the recent MiMy of the wU-

who < e pfirllnuifiiti have taken notion In

between clvlllztd nation" , nnd with nil other
countries which may tnku similar action.
We look forwnrd hopefully to the creation
In some form of an International court , nl-

which diplomacy may foil to adjust , to
