Early in Januaxy, 1881, he said, I went from Nevada to New York on business, One day, while walking on Broadway, I met Mr. James, them postmaster at New York, whoasked me to accompany him to his office. Tdid 80, and when at the office he told me he wanted togo into Garfield's cabinet as postmaster general, and asked me to aid him, Isaid I would assist him. After- wards Irendered what aid I could. When he had been appointed postmaster general 1 said to him that he had the opportunity fow men had in a lifetime to make a great reputation, He asked how. I replied that he could make the postoftice depart- ment self-sustaining the first year, and the next year could reduce postage totwo cents. How? he again asked, By break- ing up the star route ring, I replied. I 00k a pledge from him that what I said should be strictly confidential, as several men connected with the ring lived in the west and were almost neighbors of mine. 1 desired that my name should not go to the public as an informer. Afterwards I went to General Garfield, and received a pledge from him that what I would say to the postmaster general should be confi- dential. He gave me the same assurance that James had given—that my informa- tion should be a secret.

RAILROAD MATTERS, SOLID FACTS FOR CONSIDERATION, Spocial Dispateh to Tie Brx. Cnicaco, March 7.—The Tribune con- tinues to find food for editorial comment in the Union Pacific’'s annual report. It devoted a column to it this morning and says: ‘‘The report just made by Credit Mobilier Dillon to the shareholders of the Union Pacific watered stock displays thatcompany inthe comfortable, if anarch- ical attitude of a corporation too rich to pay its debts or taxes.” Aftor going over tho figures in detail and showing how the earnings of this road are $11,000 a mile, nearly twice as much as the Northwestern or Burling- ton, which penetrate the best regions of the west, the articlo concludes: ‘It does not take a great head for arithmotic to see through the finances that can pay big salaries, big commis- sions on purchases of stock sold by its own directors, big prices for worthless railroads loaded on it by Jay Gould, big fees to lobbyists, big profits to scoundrelly credit mobilier divectors, big interests to its own bondholders and big dividends to its own stockhelders, but cannot pay a cent on what it owes the nation in irter- est, taxes or reductions ot charges.

In these efforts the Western Trunk Line association is backed up by the St. Louis & SanFrancisco railroad, which is unableto compete at the reduced rates. Commissianer Vining, it is learned, has requested the Burlington and Alton officers to join in a meeting for the pur- pose of advancing rates. The officials of the latter roade notified him that they wero ready to meet the officers of the western trunk line roads as individuals, but they would not admit the claim of Commissioner Vining that he had power to act for the western trunk line roads, consequently nothing could be done in the matter, and there is no prospect that Colorado rates will soon be advanced. The Burlingron and Alton roads seem tobe well satisfied with the present rates, and will not consent to ad- vance unless it is dono at a meeting of all the roads in interest, and without ref- erence to the der of the Western Trunk Line association, Active efforts are going on looking to a settlement of the difficulties, the general freight agent of the St. Paul and Vining being closet- ed together discussing ways and means, The commissioner is handicapped by the fact that the lines he represents disap- prove of his ill-considered course, and some of them are inclined to let him get out of his entanglement as best he may. EXHIBITING TRANSFER BOOKS, Regular Press Dispatches, New York, March 7.—Argument was heard in the supreme court this afternoon upon two motions of a similar character in proceedings brought by Harvey Ken- neri against the Chicagc, Rock Island & Pacific railroad.

Lowe doclared that Ken- nedy did not make these demands in his own behalf, but in the interest of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad com- pany, a rival corporation, to enable them to gain the controlling power in the Rock Island company.
