His Friends Say that Mr. Langston’s Attitude will Benefit the Republicans. The friends of Mr. Mahone assert that Mr. Langston demanded of them such terms to secure hissupport of the ticket in Virginia that they could not in honor accept them. ‘This is all they will say as to theconference at Peters- burg. As to the effect of Mr. Langston’s taking no partin the state canvass they speak more plainly. They say it will be a benefit to Ma- hone. Their purpose is, they say, to disprove the assertion of the democrats that the republican party is a negro party. They want to prove that it is a white man’s party. The negroes have been given to understand that they may vote as they please, but will have nothing to do with the campaign. By this policy, they claim, Mr. Mahone has gained the support of strong demo- rats all over the state. ‘hey say that they are Saining. the support of prominent democrats about Petersburg. WHAT GEN.

Mr. Smith said that Johu Snelling, formerly ono of Gen. Mahone's firm supporters and still a personal friend of that gentle: , Stated to him that General Mahone did not expect to be elected but he expected to control the Virginia delega- tion in the next ey Pres convention, and the “kickere” having left the party he will secure what he desires. THE CEN: S OFFICE, The Superintendent’s Plans for Secur- ing Manuiacturing Statistics. Superintendent Porter of the census has had a conference with the special agents in charge of the collection of statistics of cotton, wool and worsted and silks and mixed textiles. The desire is to secure a better classification and a more complete collection of such statistics, The list of manufactories in the United States is completed now and shows a total of 5,218. The most noticeable thing about the figures is the increase in the number of mills in the south, They have more than doubled since 1880. Another notable thing is that whereas there were 1,000 cotton mills in the United States in 180, 1,477 have already been re- ported. Superintendent Porter has issued a circular calling general attention to the fact that church statistics will be included in the next census, and that it is the desire to make the inquiry broad andcomplete.

Cmrcaao, Oct. 16.—The Tribune this morning | says there is now being arranged and soon will be consummated a gigantic consolidation of all the Gould and Huntington systems and the Topeka, Atchison and Santa Fe systems, in- eluding some of the lines betwoen Kansas City and Chicago, to afford the lines west of the Missouri rivera direct and independent outlet to Chicago, The roads between the Missouri river and Chicago to be taken into the new combination are Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul; Chi- cago, Santa Fe and California and the Wabash. The total length of all lines operated by the new combination will be 27.096 miles, as fol- lows: Wabash railroad, $48 miles; Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, 5,678; Atchison, To- peka and Santa Fe, 7,706; Denver and Rio Grande Western, 373; Missouri Pacific, 4,994; Southern Pacific, 5.931. Total, 27,0%. The St. Paul, 1,466; Denver and Rio Grande being the only line in the combination that rons to all Missouri river points and the northwest, in fact competes with all roads north of the lines of the Huntington-Gonld combina- tion, can therefore be used to excellent advan- tage to make war pou roads trying to demor- alige the traffic of the alized roads, But aside from this the Milwaukee and St. Paul is to be made the principal,Chicago outlet for the Cen- tral Pacific's through traffic. It connects with Gould's Missouri Pacific at Kansas City; the latter has a direct line to Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Denver, and at those points con- nects with the Denver and Rio Grande, which isat once to be transformed into a broad- pea line, the contracts for broad-cuaging it waving been awarded last week. The latter connects with the Central Pacific (Southern Pacific) at Ogden. HOW THE TRAFFIO WILL BF DIVIDED. The Wabash is to get the traftic of this through line going directly east via Toledo. The Missouri Pacific and Wabash are to share the traffic to St. Louis and via St. Louis to the east. ‘The Santa Fe will be allowed to give all its traffic from the Pacific coast and all pcints west of the Missouri river to its Chicago, Santa Fe and California line, which will give itall the business it can handle between Kansas City and Chicago. The Suuthern Pacific will have besides an independent line (rail and water) via New Or- leans to the eastern seaports and can there take care of the competition by the Canadian Pacific and the northern roates via the Union Pacitic and the Northern Pacitic, The Tribune refers to the appointment of Trattic Manager J. C. Stubbs of the Huntington | Southern Pacific system as secoud vice preai- dent of the Milwaukee and St. Paul, and says: “Nothing but the desire of Mr. Huntington to place Mr. Stubbs in supreme charge of the | traffic affairs of the new combination could have induced him to let Mr. Stubbs sever his connection with the Southern Pacitic. trausfer to the Milwaukee and St. Paul indi- cates that Mr. Stubbs is to conduc: the trattic affairs of the allied lines from this city and that he ix to take particular care of the Souta- era Pacific through trathe affairs.” Phil Armour Denies.
