AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal anti Local. Managers McCrca, of the C., St. L. & P., and Carson, of the L., N. A. A- C., left for Chicago at midnight. J. Clark, aeisistant general freight agent of the Omaha road, will probably succeed Mr. J. H. Hiland as general freight agent. Reuben Spriuger, of Cincinnati, whose death occurred on Wednesday, was one of the largest holders of stock and bonds of the C., 1., St. L. & 0. road. It is alleged that one of the scalpers has a large holding of C., H. &D. tickets to Eastern und Southern points which he will throw onto the market as soon as rates are fairly restored. A J. Smith, general passenger agent es the Bee-line system, last evening telegraphed Local Agent Nichols to strictly adhere to tariff rates “on West-hound passengers, regardless of ratecutting by other lines.” James T. Furbar, general superintendent of the Heston & Maine road, has been elected general manager of that road and its leased lines, and Lucius Tuttle has been made assistant to the president under the new deal. Commissioner Richardson has gone to Cincinnati, where ho will to-day meet the general passenger agents of the roads in the Chicago A; Ohio River pool, and give them a curtain lect uee. Ha says there is to be no more "moukoy*°s" •with passenger or froiglrt rate#. On aud after January 1, 1863, the order to collect ten cents from passengers traveling on the I. St St. L. road who have not, before entering the enrp,. purriliased tickets, is to be strictly-en-forced. Conductors will be required to give rebate tickets, good for ten cents at any ticket office of the company, on presentation. The matters which have been in litigation for y*ars past, between the Pennsylvania company and the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne Sc Ohicago. have now reached s>uch a point that it is very-probab'e that the -Pennsylvania company will purchase the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne & Chicago railroad, as the stockholders of the latter seem willing to pelL There was an informal meeting, yesterday, of th officials of the roads hi the Union Railway Company. Nothing of importance was done, however. General Manager Malott was instructed to call a meeting early in January to consider matters of interest regarding the new Union Depot and other contemplated improvements the coming year. The railroad editor of the Chicago Tribune, failing in his recent efforts to demoralise Eastbound rates out of Chicago, now mounts his other "hobby” and says: “The great danger at present is of strikes among railway employes, owing to reduced wages.” So far as Indianapolis roads arc concerned, the chief anxiety of e:n employes is to hold their positions at present wages. The transcontinental convention on Wednesday fixed the basis for the new California rates, which are ns follows: From Cincinnati, Detroit, Toledo, and Indianapolis to San Francisco, wili be as follows: First class. $4-50; second class. third oiass. &1.75; fourth class, $2.50; fifth class, lfs2 23; sixth class, $1.95; seventh class, $UB0; eighth class, #1.35; ninth cluss, #1.35; tenth class, #1.15. There we indications of an early and powerful revival of the organisation of grangers in InduHia, Illinois, lowa and orher Western States, and, if it. occurs, the railway companies will have themselves to thank for it. The demoralixariou of the carrying trade, caused by insane rate cutting, is a strong bid for a renewal of the anti-monopoly movements which gave the grangers’ agitation its first tenable basis. For years past the White line Inks carried till of Kingan’s export business, and no matter at what figures any other line offered to carry it, Kiugan & Cos. clung to the White-line. Now tii at rates are fully restored competitors of the White lino are renewing their efforts to secure at least a portion of this business, and with such# point in view C. 8. Tappan,-general manager of the Nickel plate ILno. which operates East from here over the 1., B A W., spent yesterday Hi the city, and with M M. Landis, local agent., h*ld a conference with Kingan & Cos. To say that tho White-line people are on the aux ions seat is no exaggeration. The Island City coal branch of the. Indianapolis & Vincennes road will bo opened on Tuesday next for business. A superior coal plant has been opened there with all modern improve meats for hoisting coal up the shaft and loadiug it upon the cars. A novel method <of weighing and loading cars has beep hit upon. Tho coal is brought up in the hoist and dumped onto a serinm through which all slack is dropped below; the coal then tumbles into another screen, and the nut coal drops below and the block coal rolls on into a box, and when 1.009 pounds are dumped into it it tips automatically, and the coal drops into the car. It is said that by this novel arrangement and other improvements that have been introduced at their mines, the cost, of handling the coal has been reduced 23 per cent.

Pursuing the Wrong Policy. Uojumisslcner T. C. Moore, of the Chicago East-bound pool is in a peck of trouble. Like Commissioner Doherty, of the Indianapolis Eastbound pool, ho has undertaken to prevent the railroad reporters securing his totmage statements, which are of interest to the public, so much do these statements show the pulse of business. Mr. Moore called the agents of the roads together for the the purpose of discussing the inability to keep the weekly tonnage state mentsfrom appearing in the newspapers. The discussion was exceedingly interesting, and much bad blood was engendered, which promises to seriously impair the harmonious working of the committee, in commenting on the meeting, tb Chicago Times says; “It is a matter of sincere regret that anything of such a character should have occurred at a time when all was peaee and prosperity within the trunk-line pol. Several members of the committee were in favor of terminating at once the undignified actions with which the attempt to suppress the publication of the tonnage statement had been attended, by again issuing it to the papers from the joint agent's oflice.” Pool commissioners certainly are not posted as to the qualifications of a live newspaper reporter, or they would k-nowthat the very agents they arraign would be the last persons a reporter would go to for such information, and it is not to be wondered at that Cbiea go as well as Indianapolis agents are indignant when so dishonorable a charge is made against them. The best thintr for Commissioners Moore, Doherty and Richardson to do is to leave their Statements open to the inspection of newspaper reporters and request such items as they did not wish made public withheld, and any honorable reporter would carry out their wishes. The Sunil) Shippers Need Protection. “Np one,” said a leading merchant yesterday, “who has investigated the cost of transportation quite thoroughly, will for a moment argue that rates are too high if the tariff is strictly adhered to—the trouble arises from discrimination. Tho difficult question is, ‘Has a common carrier a right to discriminate in its charges for the same service rendered between the shipper who for ■wards one car load of coal, grain, or flour, and the shipper who at the same time forwards a thousand car-loads!’ It is insisted upon the part of the railroad companies that thu larger ship per is-entitled to concessions on account of the bulk of his business. They go further, and say that such encouragement to capital is necessary for thn,development of costly undertakings. It joust be admitted that there is weight and force Jo this view. Yet it must be admitted that in me past Indianapolis -in its business interests bus suffered from just this discrimination. Five v.-ars ago there were some forty grain dealers 'nipping from Indianapolis; now tho number is A- duced to a dozen, all the little shippers having *>' C'l frozen out because the larger shippers were favored in rates.’’ l'arallellag; Railroads Piratical Business. In a recont number of the London Economist appears a very well written article upon the : proneuess in America to paralleling rouds. The writer of the article in commenting on the' building of the West Shore says that there tovor was such an abuse of tho sovereign power if a Stato as was exercised in chartering a •parallel and pirating roud’’ alongside of tho

New York Central, with its four tracks, low fares and thorough service. The West Shore, ho says, is a failure. It is a convenience to no one; it, is destructive to vested rights; there is no necessity for its existence; end it is an injury to that looality and to the public, which needs the perfecting of existing lines rather than the buildiuc of new ones thereto. Tho Central's fight is for self-preservation, und it must needs be long and severe. It wili be fully justified if it shall continue it long enough to render the building again of such lines as tho West Shore, and that parallel to the Luke Shoro, an impossi bility for many generations. The Chicago and Ohio River Pool Reorganized. The officers of the roads in the Chicago and Ohio River pool reassembled at 9 a. m. yesterday, and were apparently in better humor than on tho night before, when they retired with the pool situation exceedingly shaky. Immediately on their coming together, M. E. Ingalls, president of the C. 4 1., St L. Sc C., moved that tbe first, second, fourth and fifth pools in the old pool should be settled on the basis of per cents, suggested by the committee. This was unanimously adopted. The committee on tho third pool—namely, the Cincinnati and Chicago pool, appointed the night before —not being ready to xeport, the xeorgauizatiou of the new pool was undertaken, and 'action in the matter was unexpectedly harmonious. On four of the pools the awards in the old pool were, in tho main, tho basis of per cents, while in the Louis ville and Chicago pool a slight change in per eent.B. was made in favor of tho L., N. A. & C. This agreed to, the matter of allowing a differential rate to the C-, H. Sc D. f the 1., B. & W. and the Chicago Se East orn Illinois was brought up for consideration, und, aftera short discussion, it was voted toabol ish this differential, which has been $1 between Cincinnati and Chicago, and 75 cents between Indianapolis and Chicago. The length of tho existence of tbe new pool was tlien discussed, and it was finally fixed to bo in force until Dec. 31,1883. fourteen months. The per cents, are subject to revision on thirty days notice after April 1, the readjustment of percents., should there be one, not to be based on the business done by the roads in the new pool prior to that date. The committee on tho Cincinnati and Chicago pool which was tho most troublesome to settle, then reported. The report not being satisfactory the matter was taken up by the general meeting. President Ingalls broke the ice by making a concession, ho expressing a willingness to pay a certain sum of money to settle the-trouble as far as his road was concerned. Manager McCrea, of tho C-, St. L. & P., which is also a rood which has to pay something into the pool, also mane concessions on the part of the C.. St. L. & P. C. C. Waite, manager ot the 0.. H. & D., and John Carson, manager of the L., N. A. Sc C., both of whose roads are short in their poo! per cents. offered to make concessions on their part. This done, President Malott suggested that a compromise be made on a certain per cent, of earnings of the original Chicago and Ohio river pool the first year of its existence. Tho per eent. he suggested was cut down a little, and then it was agreed to by the several roads. To state what .amount the C., 1., St. L. & C. or the C., St. L. &P. will need to .pay over to their competitors would be mere speculation, as it will require considerable figuring to learn results, but it is statod that President Ingalls will cut down his amount to pay into the pool to a figure which will be much easier to pay over than $38,000. The pool quos tion beimrsettled, it was unanimously agreed to strictly adhere te the tariff rates, and a telegram, signed by President M. E. Ingalls, managers J. B. Carson, C. Q. Waite, O. E Henderson, James McCrea and Col. Robert Forsythe, was sent to the general passenger agents of -the several roads in the pool, reading as lollows: “The Chicago and Ohio River pool is re established, until Dec. 31, 1885. All passenger rates to and from all points on traffic covered by the Chicago and Ohio river pool agreement must be immediately restored, and *o deviation made from established rates.” A telegram of a-similar character, .signed by the same officials, was sent to the general freight agents of the respective lines. Commissioner Richardson was instructed to notify tno proper officials of the Wabash, the Illinois Central and the Evansville Sc Terre Haute reads that they were now ready to listen to propositions by which their lines shall become members of the Chicago and Ohio River pool.

Miscellaneous Notes. Prince Bismarck urges the importance of establish is Waiix faster trains between Berlin and Paris rind London. Jersey Central transfer books are said to shoiv that Baltimore & Ohio directors are increasing their holdings of stock. George M. Pullman says tho earnings of tho palace-car company increased in November $15,000. and the increase since August amounts to $43,000. The track-layers of the Wisconsin have crossed the St. Croix river, and are rapidly approaching St. Paul. The track, it is expected, will b® completed to a junction with the St. Paul & Duluth not later than Jan. 1. There are now 10.330 men on the pay-rolls of the Lake Shore road. 2,013 less than one year ago. Tilers are 4,513 toon on tho New York. Pennsylvania & Ohio, against 5,400 at the corresponding period of 1883. The report of the receivers of the West Shore railway for the quarter ending Sept. 30 shows gross earnings of $1,301,000; operating expenses, taxes, rentals and interest on receivers’ debt, $1*280,000; net earnings. $20,000. The Ohio State Board of Ptiblio Works has completed its labors of assessing the valuation of all railroad property in the State for taxation purposes. Them* are eighteen different railroads, with a total valuation of $11,447,922.01. Representatives of tho pool lines have agreed to advance freight rates on dressed -cattle, in refrigerator cars, from Chicago to New York, to the basis of twenty-five cents per one hundred pounds by the car load, and dressed sheep to ninety cen ts. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company ha3 just negotiated a loan of $10,000,000, to be employed chieflv in connection with the Pittsburg Sc Oonnellsvitle roatl The money is to be devoted to the betterment and improvement of that road and of tlie important branch and connecting roads of this link of tho Baltimore Sc Ohio's system, several of which have been recently acquired in the extension of Pittsburg connections. Regarding the rumor that the Chesapeake & Ohio is to lease the Louisville. Evansville &-St. Louis Air line. General Echols, the vice president and general manager of the C. & 0., says: “If there was any such negotiation in progress 1 would know it; but there is not. The report doubtless originated out of the fact that under the traffic arrangement of the C. Sc O. with tho Air line the C. & O will put on a through sleep er between St. Louis and Washington City. The new station at Wilkesbarre, Pa., which the Lehigh Valley company opened to the public Monday lust, is said to be one of the handsomest and most convenient in America. It is 23G feet long by 00 feet wide, and has been two years in building. It is of tho Swiss style of architecture. Beside the usual accommodations for offices, waiting rooms, etc., it contains a large hotel and dining room with all the most modern conveniences and accessories. The interior is finished with a number of natural woods. The covered platform over tho tracks is 410 by 24 feet. The Northern Pacific people look for a heavy grain traffic all winter. The new system of elevators which have been built during the past year has enabled the farmers along the road to store over 5.000.000 husheds of wheat within easy shipping distance of the main line, so that, no matt r what the severity of tho winter may bo. the grain can he sent by rail as soon as the price warrants the farmers in selling. The freight on this wheat will be a source of revenue that has not been enjoyed heretofore by the Northern Pacific during the winter season, and will tend to largely increase the earnings of those months in which it is sent to market. The freight on wheat will probably average 15 cents per bushel to tho railroad company. Horsford’s Acid Phosphate. WELL PLEASED. Dr. C. Roberta, Winchester, 111., sayk* ‘*l have used it with entire satisfaction in cases of debility from age or overwork, and in inebriates nud dyspeptics, und am well pleased with it* effects."

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. THE SENATE. Open Discussion of Commercial Treaties— Debate ou the Admission of Dakota. Washington, Dec. 11. —After routine business, Air Vau Wyck offered the following: ‘‘Whereas, r eomrnercud treaty of great importance has been negotiated between the United States und Spain, which was made public by tho King of .Spain to tnuvh an extent that it was cabled from Madrid by the Times, of New York citv. ami giveu to the American peop’o by that journal before the same was presented with bocoiuiug solemnity and secrecy, to the Senate; and “ Whereas, the providorm of Raid treaty materially affect the subject of revenue* and taxation, and involve no acriouH questions of diplomacy and state secret*, discussion thereof should be in open session, ao that the people may be fully apprised or the reasons why said treaty should bo ratified or rejected; therefore, ‘"Resolved, that the committee on rules be directed to reooitan Amendment, or additional rule, requiring treaties which concern mutter* of revenue to be considered in opou Ho*oiou." On objection by Mr. Wilson the matter went over one day. On motion of Mr. Coke, the bill providing for improvement of Galveston harbor wus made a special order for January 8. Consideration of the Oregon Central land forfeiture bill was resumed. The amendment of Mr. Dolpli was agreed to, providing that all settlers in good faith on lands forfeited, who are otherwise qualified, shall bo eutitled to preference right te enter lands In accordance with the homestead or pre-emption laws, and shall bo regarded as having legally settled such lands from the date of settlement, and in case such settler be not so entitled, under existing law*, he should be permitted, within a year, to enter not to exceed 160 acres, at $1.2 ). and reducing to #1 25 the price of even numbered sections along the liuo of uncompleted portions of road. An amendment offered by Mr. Plumb was agreed to, by a vote of 33 to 11. repealing the act of March 3, 1875, which allowed settlers on rail road lands subsequently forfeited to locate to an amount equal to the signal entry without addi tional cost. Mr. Sherman, in some remarks favoring this, said the land was open to homestead entries, which was enough. It would not do to permit speculators to get a hold on these lands and hold them from settlement. He (Mr. Hherman) would favor in this bitl a repeal of the preemption laws: they .had long outlived their usefulness. Mr. Morgan inauired of Mr. Dolph whether there were any other parties affected by the forfeiture than the United States government and tho railroad company. Mr. Slater did not think thoro wore. Ho believed there had been no effort made by tho company to sell lands. Mr. Dolpli believed their mortgage, and perhaps tho deed of trust, embraced in their descriptions all lands of the company, both earned and unearned, but supposed that the grantee of a land grant may, upon “conditions subsequent,” only take or mortgage such rights as existed, und if the conditions had not been performed, there could have existed no right which a mortgage could take. There were no questions in volved, Mr. Dolph said, that would not be fairly and equitablv settled by the provisions of the bill. Mr. Morgan had understood, in committee, that thero were no mortgages or incumbrances, or that anybo dy’s Tights were affected except those of the company and the government, if mortgages existed on lands-of the company, the* matter should bo looked into, ani the rights ot all parties affected ascertained. Ho moved to commit the bill to the committee on public lands for their examination. Mr. Blair supported tho motion. Though a member of tho committee, ho did not know until this morning that a mortgage on these lands existed. Mr. Dolph said he made in conunittoo the statement just made by him. Mr. Morgan remarked that ho had not heard it, and inquired of Mr. Slater when he (Slater) had first heard it. Mr. Slater replied that ho was not sure of having hoard it before this morning, but thought the bill protected the rights of all as it stood. Mr VanWyck said tiiat the other day, until midnight, the attorneys of these railroad companies appeared before tho committee and nmdo every conceivable objection to these forfeitures. Everybody know tiiat every land-grant railroad company had put a mortgage on its entire grant, and it could have been safely assumed from the beginning that this company had followed this course. If Mr. Morgan’s position was correct, Mr. VanWyck argued that not only would every mortgage have to be heard, hut every judgment creditor too. Mr. Morgan thought the hill should provide a complete method of settling, before tho courts, all questions of rights that may be involved, as had been done with the Atlantic aud Pacific forfeiture bill. He insisted upon his motion for recommittal. He expected to vote for forfeiture, as he had voted for the Atlantic ami Pacific forfeiture. and he expected to vote for tho Texas Pacific forfeiture, but he wanted to see carefully provided for the rights of mortgagees, settlers and innocent people who bought the bonds, of tho land grant roads. After further debate, the bill, at 2 o’clock, had to yield to the unfinished business of yesterday, being tho bill providing for

THE ADMISSION OP DAKOTA. Mr. Harrison too-k the floor to reply to Mr. Vest’s .objections, and said he would consider it imputing a disgraceful thing to tho Senator to assert that ho could only look at this question from a political party stand point. It was true that, before the war. when slavery was making its aggressive and persistent fight for mastery in the politics or this country and maintaining tho doctrine that slave States and free States should be kept on an equality, there were controlling political considerations involved in a discussion of this char acter; but since slavery had disappeared, ho had supposed that the exigency no longer existed for the admission of States by parties. He asked Mr. Vest what number of people a Territory should contain, iu order to be entitled, in his (Mr. Vest’s) opinion, to admission in the Union. Mr- Vest replied that, while not attempting to prescribe any rule, he would say that the spirit of the Constitution required at least a ratio of population sufficient to entitle it to a member of the House of Representatives; but, even if it had that ratio of population, it would not follow that it was entitled to admission. There wore many other circumstances to be taken into account, and each particular case would have to bo judged of by its particular circumstances. Mr. Harrison said Senator Bogy, of Mo.. Senator Cockrell, and other Democratic senators, hud formerly favored the admission of Dakota, and ho appealed to “that noble baud of Democrats who voted for its admission in 187 Gto stand by it now.” Mr. Cockrell replied that he had voted for a proposition to divide tho Territory, but not on its admission. He was opposed, on principle, to the admission of these now Territories of immense areas and 6inaU populations, lie had persistently and consistently voted against all such propositions. Mr. Harrison inquired if Mr. Cockrell would be satisfied with a population sufficient to entitle a territory to a member of Congress. Mr. Cockrell replied: “No, not if it had four times as much." Mr. Harrison declared this a frank statement. It would moan that GOO.OOO people might ho without representation; that was one method of di3 franchising men. Mr. Harrison briefly summed up the points already made, and could see no reason why a Territory possessing so large, in telliecnt and Christian a population should bo permitted to remain in a condition no longer adapted to their needs, flo expressed a wish that n vote on the bill might be reached next Monday, but Mr. Butler thought this too early, and declined to consent to an arrangement fixing u vote for that date. Mr. Sherman introduced a joint resolution, which was passed, appointing the 21st. of February for the ceremonies connected with the completion of the Washington monument, and authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to have cards of invitation suitable to the occasion engraved in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and appropriating the further sum of $7,500 in addition to the amount already authorized to be expended in tho celebration. Mr. Morgan inquired why the 21st of February hail been selected. Mr. Sherman replied that tho 22d was Sundae. Mr. Morgan saw iu that no reason for tho

change. In his opinion, no day was too sacred for the work of fittingly commemorating this important event. Mr. Sherman said thero wero a number of delegations coining, including some that wore military in character, and the commission had deemed it unwise to bring the ceremonies into antagonism with the sentiment of the religious people of the country. Tho interstate commerce bill of Mr. Cullom, which was a special order for to day, had no opportunity of being considered. After an executive session, tho Senate adjourned until Monday. TIIE HOUSE. Appearance of tlio Democratic Rooster—More Talk About Interstate Commerce. Washington, Dec. 11. —Tho desks of half a dozen 'Democratic members wero ornamented this morning by roouiers of brilliant plumage. Mr. Hancock, from the committee on appropriations, reported the invalid pension appropriation bill, which was referred to the committee of the whole. Mr. Mills made an unsuccessful effort to have passed the Senate bill for a public building at Waco, Tex., Mr. Brumin being tho objector. The House resumed consideration of the interstate commerce bill. Mr. Glasscock directed his remarks more especially to a consideration of the evils which grow out of .the system of pooling by railroad companies. He advocated State prohibition of this system, and expressed a preference for the Reagan substitute over the bill of the committee. He opposed, however, tho provision of the substitute prohibiting a greater charge for a short than for a long haul, as being generally unjust, and especially as being inimical to the interests of his Blate. Mr. Dunn favored the substitute. He objected to the appointment of a commission, because it was unnecessary aud would fail to accomplish the purposes its friends claimed for it. Mr. Woodward spoke in tavor of the commit tee bill and severely criticised the provisions of the substitute, asserting that their effect would be lo cripple the railroad interests of the country. Mr. Hepburn favored the committee bill. Mr. Wood opposed as farcical the commission feature of the bill and warmly favored the substitute. A strong law, fortified with penalties, was the only remedy against the evils complained of. Pending further discussion the understanding was arrived at that general debate shall close on the next day the subject is taken up. and then a vote will be takf'n as between tho substitute und the committee bill. Whatever measure shall be successful wili then bo open to amendment and debate under the five-minute rule. Mr. Reagan has slightly modified his motion to substitute his p position for the entire bill of the committee, and has applied it as a substitute only for the remedial features of that bill. If successful in having it adopted, lie will then move to strike out tho remainder of the bill which has reference to the appointment of a commission. Mr. O’Neill, of Pennsylvania, gave notice that at tlho proper time, be would move to recommend the whole subject. Mr. Hisooek introduced a concurrent resolution for the appointment of a joint committee consisting of three members of the House elected to Congress and three senators to investigate the capacity of the cunals of the Btate of New York. Referred to the committee on commerce. This committee is directed to confer with a committee of like power, appointed by the Legislating of New York and with the Governor and other State officers, in regard to maintenance of the canals thereof, aud ascertain if said canals are sufficient for tbe requirements of interstate commerce, or if they should enlarged. The committee shall ascertain on what terms and conditions the United States can acquire title to and jurisdiction of said canals, or any of them. The committee is given authority to appoint a clerk, and to hold its meetings whereever it sees fit. in the State of New York or the City of Washington. On motion of Mr. Warner, of Ohio, a motion was adopted calling on the Secretary of tlie Interior for information relative to the fees of claim agents in pension cases. On motion of Mr. Weaver, tho Senate bill was passed authorizing the First National Bank of Omaha to increase its eapital stock. Adjourned.
