Qarrett, Robert Garrett, SMilton Smith, and Anderson Andrews, of the Baltlmoro & Oblo, and Albert Fink, Commissioner under the pool- Ing arrangement. When the mecting was over, It was stated by Mr Jewctt, who had acied as Chairman, that an agreement had been made to' continue the Woest- bound trelght pool for five years from Jan. 1,18i8. Cowmissfoner Fink subsequently ex- plained to tho reporters that the terms of tho pool had been changed in such a manner as to give bim atmost arbitrary power with resvect to tho allotmeut of the percentage of freight to the rallroads ioterested. The pool now in operatiun is maintained by a contract between the companles which allowa 83 per cent of frelght to tho New York Central, 33 to Erle, 25 to Pennsylvania, and 9 to the Baltimore & Ohfv. Atter Jan, 1 tho percentages will be de- fMed by Commissioner Fink. 1If, at any subse- quent time, one of the companics de- sires an {ncressed npercentage, it will be compelled to make spplication to the Com- missioner, presenting sl the fagts upon which its claim is based.. The decision of tha Com- missloner, for or azainst the claim, will bo final, and can ouly be overthrown by u dissolation of the pool. .

Mr. Jewett and CommIssivacr Fluk both sald to-night that, under the new noaling system, ratecutting vould not be ine dulged in. They scemed ata lossto explaln, bowever, how it can be prevented. This matter of barmonizing action with respoct 10 East- bounrd Ireysnt wes alsu discuased, ond it was flunily declded that the vresent tariff rates should be malntafued by trank Jines aud thefr conpections. It was odmitted that the Western roads bave been cutting, and an arrangement wos cotered foto for con- pelling those corporatlons to give up squabblipg. Anotber tople warmnly discussed was Lhe present warfzre about passengers be- twecn the roads runoing east trom 8t. Loufs to jumm tho rrunk lines. No definite action was taken upon this matter. It was referred to the Committee on Rates,composed of Commisstoner Fink, J. H. Rutter, of the New York Central, J. H. King, of the Baltimore & Otlo, A.

The rates charced by theso monupo- lies, when compared with the charges mado by the lincs cast of Omsha, are so outrageously ligh and extortionate that it is surprising that tho people Lave so long submitted to the rob- be y without a singlo vrotest.

The railroad inauagers sav tho latter rate just about covers the coat of transportation. In comuaring the charges on first-class goods us made by tho Pacitic roads and the roads be. tween New York and Chicago, it 18 found that ot the aamo class of goods—dry goods, wooluns, stlks, clothing, etc.—for which'tho Pacitic Roads - charge five cents per too per mile when no con- tract {s made to ship exclusivoly by the Pacitlc Roads, letting alone the extra charge of $10 per car for the Omaha bridge toll, the roads lead- ing west fron New York charge but 76 cents per 100 pounda from New York to Chicago, or ahout ouc and two-third cents per too per mile. It will be seen from the above that tuis class of woods the charges are as follow Fram New York to Chicago 13¢ centa per ton from Chicawo to Omahw, 3 cents; sod from Omalin to Ban Franelseo 10 cents sxr ton per mlle, if bu contract to ship exclusively over the Pacitle Roads is_wmade, and an_cxtra charge ol 810 per car for Omalia brivge toll, When it bocomes uecessary to fight a rival line the Paclilc Roada give rates of the most 1ib cral charucter.
