RAILROAD NEWS. Present Condition of the Sara- toga Agreement, Conference Botween tho Pacific Rail- road and Steamship Com- Panies, They Fail to Agres Upon o Freight Combination, The Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw. MORE ABOUT THAT AGREEMENT. IT 18 NOT QUITB A BUCOESS, ‘The Raratoga agrecmont s sl tho atl-sbsorb- ing subjoct in railway circlos. Tho anuounce- mont that tho Daltimoro & Ohio and the Grand Trunk Railroads had not jotwed tho combination was grooted with much satisfaction by the man- agery of our Wostorn radlroads, sll of whom, with a single oxcoption, look very unfavorably upon the compact, The opposition of theso ronds is ‘based on tho ground that tho agreomont is so badly drawn, and that it offors no guarautoo of protootion to tho parties who may sign it and lionorably ondoavor to carry out its provisions. It loavos open to designing.partios loopholes through which considerablo annoyance may bo woceived, It nffords to cortsin parties an unduo ropresoutation, onabling thom to command & majority on pearly all important questiona. Bosldes, by tho careless drafting of the contract, and omission of many important provisions, tho originators wero earoful not to bind thomselves, whilo they endeavored to bind othora. 1 That such is the cnse is best shown by the faot that,while all the roads had abolished tho com- mission systom both East aud West, it i8 uow only observed from tho West to tho East. From tho Enst to tho Woat commissions for the ealo of tickots are paid ngain by nearly all the roads, on tho ground that the Groat Westorn of Caunda rofuses to abolish commissions unless the Grand Trunk will join in the movemout, snd as tho Grand Trunk hes oflicislly announced that it will not onter into the combination tho ‘commission roform” from the East to the ‘West at loast, may bo considered a failuro, aud liko tho rotura stock-pass reform will probably soou bo officially repudiatod, +__Another rosson for tho opposition of our +Wostern roads to the agreomont 18 tha general boliof that it is tho intention of tho majority of | hio Railroad Commissioucrs to favor Bt. Louis wbtia cxpensa of this city. - Tho rales from Chicago to tho Enst have always been lowor than from 8t. Louis, but the Southorn ronds are now making an_offort to hove tho rates from Bt. Louis and Chicago made about the samo. Of oourso the Chicago roads obaect to such dixcrim- ination, and will?nwrpnso all possible obstaclos to n sucoessful carrying out of this project. T'his Baratoga agroement will yot Iead to consid- erablo tronble, abd ere long tho various intorosts will be fighting each other, i OVERLAND CHINA AND JAPAN FREIGHTS. NO AGUEEMENT A8 TO RATES. Bpecial Disateh to The Chicago Tribunn, New Yong, Nov. 11.—For days past the pros- mective conforonco botweon tho Pacific Railroad ‘Companies and tho Paciflo Mall Stoamship Com- ‘pany has boen tho groat topic of conversation in ‘Wall street. Yestorday the Central Pacifia Rall- road sont its ultimatum to the Steamship Com- pany. A moeting of the Dircctors of the latter was held to-day to consider tho subject, but oven boforo tho meeting tho Paciflo Mail pedple ro- Jocted tho proposition. Ono Director wished it ta bo raturned asinsulting. Here may be given the principsl points of tha proposition for a basis of agreoment above reférred to : “Pagsongor rateson the lines batwoen Now York and San Francisco to'tho Fast aud Weat to bo the same on both lines, sud no commisatona to be paid by oither party ; prices to be low, for the renson that both libes are interested in increna- ing tho population of the Wost coast, It would ‘bua good polioy. to put the rates back to what they wore before thie opposition between the two Lnes had forced the prices down to the present unremunorative rates, —an arraugomant whereby the jines could work in harmony ; and in order to buing this about the railroad companios should guarantes to tho Paciflo Mail Company 818,660 for stomner ont of this port each soventosn days, each stosmer to take, and tho railroad compavies agroeing to furniels, B0 tons fraight ; tiie old contraot * batween ' tho stoamsbip com- ‘pauy and the Contral, Pacific . to be revived, and tho former to givo socurity that this shall be douo ; tho Union and Central Pacific Railroad Companios to mako and control all rates betweon this city snd 8an Francisco j- this contract to bo for ten yoara * v Tho meeting passed resolutions that the Com- pany wos willing to make fair aud oquitable ar- rangomonts with tho raiironds, but thnt the above proposition was unsatisfactory, and was, therofure, daclined. A copyof the resolutions was gout to the Contral Paciflc Compnuy, Just ‘what the Pacuio Mail peoplo want they docline to say. - MISOELLANEOUS. TUE QUINCY & 8T, PAUL.
