The Anthracite Coal Monopoly and Thelr 8tocks on Wall Street— Matters of Businecss [Interest, The Trans Oontinental Association, Special Telegram to the Bee, Og10a60. Sept. 13 —The following is from the Times of this morning: Divesting reports from the Travs.Continental m-eting at St. Paul of nll niceties of language and subtleties of expression, it may be stated that the aseo- clation is a moribund institution and will soon become a raminiscance, unless future ateps bo taken to revive it, Several cf the general managers returned yesterday, and their united verdict is to that effect, The case, putting i briefly, stands as follows: The Southern Pa- cific ropudiates the award of arbitrators and absolutely refuses to pay its debts incurred under that division. Prior to announcing that it would take that action, a resolution had been adopted thit s settlement of the business of the months of July, August and Beptember should be made on a basis of earn- ings of the previous three months, but the ac- tion of Mr, Stubbs procured an acjournment withont further consideration of the matter. The roads and parties thereto will adhere to the divieion unless the ogent of the Southern Pacific charges hia miod before he reaches the Pacific coast, which heretofore has been the ue course pursucd by him. No provision is made for a division of business after September 30, and as Mr Stubbs will not bs bound by the arbi- trator’s award, the astociation will drift along without a reatonable excuse for its existence. Buch a state of aff vira would involve » doub'e Colorado pool and Pacific coast assnciation, as their affairs are more or less involved with those of the Trans-Continental, Any predic- tions as to the future would be extra hazird: oue, a8 the course of the Southern Pacific cannot be mapped ot on any reasonable basis, It may be eately ssid, however, that if it does not recede from its preseut position it will be forced to carry through its busnness at figures that w)ll leave a balance on the wrong side of the ledger. In view of the disputes and troubles dis- turbing the atsociation, and the internal dis- sensions that threaten to rend it asunder, as well as the strong probability that each lino will soon be competing for the through tusi- ness on its own 1 esponsibility, a recapitulation of the relative poitions of the roaas will be interesting. They are as follows: Sunset route—Steamers to Now Otleans 500 miles by rail over the Southern Pa- cific to San Francisco, Atchison & Topeka, and Atlantic & Pacific route ~New York to Kaneas City_via Chi- cago, 1,440 miles; Kansas City to Mojave via Atobison & Topeka and Atlantic & Pacific, 1,733 miles; and from Mojave to San Fran- cisco via Southern Pucific, 582 miles; total, 8,555 miles. Union Pacific route—New York to Omaha via Ohicago, 1,440 miles; Omaha to Ogden, 1,082 miles; Ozden to San Francisco, 895 miles; total, 3,367 miles. Oregon_Siort Line route—New York to Omaha, 1,410 miles; Cmaha to Granger, 876 miles; Granger to Huotington, 540 miles; Huntington to Portland, 404 miles; total, 8,260 wiles by rail, and in addition thereto 1s the distance from Portland to San Francisco by water. Northern Pacific route~New York to St, Paul, 1,247 miles; St, Paul to Portland, 1911 miles; tov 1, 8158 miles, and in addition a l".:lmlll p route from Portland to San Fran- cleco, The only all rail routes to San Franolsco are the Atchiton, Topeks & Santa Fe and the Unlon and Central Pacific. Another all rail system can be figured out by taking the Bur- lington system to Denver aud the Kio Grande to Ogden, and the Central Pacific to San Francisco, The fact that the section between Denver and Ogden is & narrow guage works against it, although it is a very good club to hold over the Union Pacific, Provably in two yoars time two more roads will re 2den— the Northwestern, which is extending rapidly with_that point in view, and the Burliogton, which will build from Grand Junction to a connection with the Rio Grande & Western, and change the guage of the latter tostandard, The Burlington people deny that they have any intention tomake this Iatter cxteneion, but their denial is not credited, from the fact that eyery move they make in Colorado points to that conclusion, One would be led to believe that all thi railroad building and reaching out was to ture a rich prize, or at least to force a division of traffic worth striving for. A railroad statis- tician, who has been figuring on the business both east and westbound for the last three years, is authority for the statement that the total through westbound business does not amount to two loaded trains of twenty cars each per day, while the esstbcund is just about half that figure, When two of ‘the transcontinental roads are willing to haul wheat a distanoe of over 1,000 miles for less than half a cent per mile, there cannot be any great quantity of paying freight in sight All of which goes to show that there is a great deal of fuss about a small matter, The Oentral Pucific has been mviog the Denver and Rio Grands a portion of its over- land tea business, haviog furnihed some thirty cars to that road at Ogden, It was neceasary to break bulk at both Ogden and Denver, transterriug to thy narrow auge at the former and the Burlington and Missouri broad gauge at Denver, ‘I'he trapsaction is looked upon as a notificaticn to the Union Pa- cificthat in the evert of a war, the Denver and Rio Grande and the Burlington and Mis- souti would make it praziically independent of its old connect! ———— Notes from Bu Speclal Telegram to the Bk, New Yogk, Sept, 18,—The week’s failure score is larger than for the same week last ear, o rather ominous fact for those who ave reasoned out o prospective boom from the slight excees in the au'umn demand for Roods, The truth is that the trade for general merchandise for this September exczeds that for the eame month a y sr ago, sing was the effect of mi year that the usual goods was almost As stated, the ¢ffeot is telt now, and the overs uine should take heed. succeediog this oate last September was re- spectively ss follows: 206, 210, 188 and 21, Kor the week ending yesterday, the num- ber reported to New York was 183 For the wamo week last year the score was 180, Lot mo advise all weatherwise speculators to watch intently theie woekly reports until say November 1, It the number of disasters continues equal to tho same time last year, men who have been asserting that with respect ate of the nixt activity 1885 corres- ponds with 1877, will bs saying, “I told ycu ¥0,” and with justica, tockmarket this week cos hands of traders. Prices have flattened Professional b:are are s, putting out lines of shorts and bull pools have to some extent succseded in unloadiog, Part of the street fear it ls not intended to bring the wrunk line troubles to & epeedy end, Thers is no sign that the Vanderbilt- Penneylvania alliance is weakened, and until the laster gets firm pos- szssion of the South Pennsylvania it does not ant rates sottled or the warket firm. The fight among the soulhern roads and the con- dition of coal pronerties are also elements of weakness. The Union Pacific's success in swapping the debt s unot considered in Wall street to be exactly a bull card, The Boutherp Ogntral Pacifig's evident intenticn inues in the of taking all thefoream of the trans.conti- nental business is feared a8 an opening of the onalaught on all the Pacifica, Attantion has been directly centered on the subject of coal hy the late slump in the quota tione for coal road secarities, It brcomes & matter of renewed doubt if anthracite bas yet seen its lowest figures. Great stress islaid on Tackawanna shares a3 8 per cent dividen payers, yet the stock hangs heavily below par, Some one evidently doubts very mtich 1f It has been earning 8 per cent, Kven Lehigh Valley, the most prosperous coal road, and lately n strong 8 per ocent dividend payer, has reduced its rate to 6, and since to 4 per cent per aonum. The clique attempt to explain this by rehearsing the ta share capital was Increased over 000 last year, now amoun ing to about 283,000,000, An increase of onesixth in so small a capital will not answer in explanation of a50 per cent reduction in the dividend, TLehigh Vallay could probably pay 8 per cent to-day a3 well as Tackswans can, but it is un- questionably much more prudently managsd property. Yet the courss of quotations for coal properties _ within ten dags i significant. Reading and Jersey Central went off 4 to b per cent in that respect. Lackawana deoppad from $1.03 to 08¢, and Lehigh Valley from about $1.14 to $110. Here we find a 4 per cent stock sell- ing 10 to 12 highor than an 8 per cent paying security, The two compaunies at present dominate the eastern anthracite coal trade. Th existing condition of the market is the re- sult, The so called anthracite combination is to-day a combination in name only. e GENERALZFOREIGN NEWS, ; A GLIMPSE OF ENGLISH POLITICS. Spectal Telegram to the Bk, LoNDON, Sept. 13.—The electoral campaign in the Umted Kiogdom may be eald to have opened with this week's speeches. lLord Hartington’s temperate utterances have been followed byaddresses of & more partisan type, and in the case of Mr. Chamberlain a distinct programme has been enunciated for the fight- ing wing of the party, Lord Randolph Churchill's endeavor to convert Lord Hart- ington and to win bim over to the conserva- ti ves was characteristic in its daring, but has been overwhelmed by the interest felt in Chamberlain’s later utterances. Churchill’s silonce as to Parnell's teparation programme not only disappointed conservative politicians but encouraged Irishmen to believe that their hour for independenca was not far off, Cham- berlain thereupon seized his opporunity, not- withstanding all hia previous sympathy for many of Mr, Parell's demsnds, made it plain that the radicals will resist by every poesible means the last demand which Davitt has instigated Parnell to put forward., The tremendous enthusiasm with which Chamber- lnin’s declarations have been received will most likely induce the tory party to compel Churchill or eome other leador to declare definitely for the union, The texmper of the conatry, Enplishmen eay, will no more per- mit & separato pariiament in Dublin than the northern states would allow seceesion, THE CAROLINES QUESTION, Bismarck's dispatch of August 31 is pitched in such moderate tone that there svems a cor— tainty of a pacific solution of the Caroline question, It will bs difficult for such hot- headed publicans a3 the Spaniards to force & quarrel with Germany, whose calmness and fairnesa in this dispute has aroused much sym- pathy in England, The high-handed way in which Bismarck dealt with New Guines and Zanzibar might have been expected to provoke British ill-will over this seizure, of the Caro- lines, but not » newspaper of 1mportance fails to recognize Germany’s good faith, More- over, the discreditableaction of Spain’s cabinet toward Logland in ths recent commercial treaty negotiations is not calculated to arouse sympathy for Spain in this country. Bis- marck, however, has no desire to mar his col- onial developments by anything like a quarrel with Spain, especially as the dispute might eud in tho downfalllof Alfonso, It is no part of German policy to dustroy moasarchial insti- tutions, and in” this case such destruction would lead to another Latin republic, sympa- thetic, if not in actual alliauce, with France. The fwlure score for the four weeks | Herein is the keynote of much of Bismarck’s forbsarance, EDITOR STEAD'S TROUBLES, The]Armstrong'cae is proving most disastrous to the Pall Mall Gazette and the Salvation army, Stead’s credulity s universally held a8 eatablishing his unfitness to conduct a newspaper, Decent people have no sympa- thy for him because his methods of securing reform have flooded London with gutter liter- ature, and his stooping to associate with a wretch like Mre. Jarrett, who so grossly de- cieved him, induces many to question the man’s sanity, The feelinz which this trial is developing against the salyationiets may not ualikely lead to an outburst of violence against Gen, Booth’s army. SPAIN'S CLAIMS ON THE CAROLINES, LoNDON, Sept. 13.—[Associated Press.]— The note of SenorE| Duayen, Spauieh foreign minister, to Prince Bismarck, claims Spanish sovereignty over the Carolines on the ground of ditcovery, exploration, missionary work, protection, recognition by the natives, an existence of Spanish t:ading posts.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.—Tarkish postal cards have keen very scarce in this country, The majority of Americans who go abroad and get a3 far as the Bosphorus do mot care to seribble their experiences 1n the harems of the east upon a pieca of paper for the edification of postmasters and others. They prefer printed note paper and well gummed envel- opes, but our new American minister at Con- stantinople, the versatile and brillianc Sunset Cox, has laid in a supply of postal cards, and upon one of them, ad- dressed to Mr. . J,_Hirshtield, he has written “‘God bless Mr, Higgins,” The Mr, Higgins alluded to is at present ap- pointment clerk of the treisury department, and & Baltimorean, He has had bestowed upon him a genercus amount of abuse by the American prees, but tc-day he 15 the happiest of men, He does not now care for any amount of vindictive double-leaded type. The mesage from the country uf moeques and bazars has soothed his spirits avd wmade him strong, and he will eocn forget that he ever was made unhappy by the iukslingiog of envious newspaper men. Mr. Hirshfiela has preeented the postal card to Higgins, and the latter will have it handsomely fiamed and hung up in a conspicusus place ia his office.

In a conversation with a reporter the postmaster general expressed great intevest in the Obio campaign and anx- 1ously nquired for the latest news from tha soat of wi Vilas sald that hs would be at his offica bright and early Monday morning, ready for businoss. The postmaster geueral said that since March 1 over 800 democrats have been appointed to positions in the rail- way mail service, displacivg that many re- publicans, At the present time fourth class postmasters aro being appointed about as fast as democratic congressmen can send in their recommendations, INADEQUACY OF THE APPROPRIATION FOR POST OFFICE LEASES, ‘WaSHINGTON, Sept, 12.—[Ass)ciated Press]. —At its last session congress passed ao act authorizing the postmaster general to lease buildinga occupied by third-class postoffizes, Ths amount of the appropriation for leasiug postoffice baildings, however, was on'y $450,000, or just about enough money to dofray the expenss of leas- ing buildivgs for offices of the first and second class, Consequently the postmaster-general has been unable to carry out the provisions of the act authorizing the leasing of third-clasy offices, Theveare 1 728 third-c'ass oftices and it is estimated thar §350,000 will b3 required annually to defray the expenses of leasing suitable quarters fcr them. It is probable that when congress mcets & recommendation will be made by the postmaster-general that an adequate appropriation be made for these leases or that the act be repealed. NOT GIVEN TO THE CHINESE. Tu reply to the protest of the women's na- tional labor convention against the giviog ouk of the washing of towels for the treasury depart- ment by contract, upon the ground that it opened the way for & Chinese monopoly, the secretary of the treasury replied that this work in the several departments is given out by contract, and in every case itis given to responsible’ steam laundry establishments, who employ American labor, and under no circumstances will 1t be given to the Chi- nese, ‘A TREABURY APPOINTMENT, he president to-day appointed Ross A. , of the District of Columbis, to bo s~ nt register of the tronsury, vice W, H. tcomb, who has been reduced to & fourth- class clerkship Mr, Fish is st presont em- ployed in the offic of the assestor of the T Fi trict of Columbia, He was formerly cler] the customs division of the treasury and is said to have some experience with the duties of the office to which he has been appointed.

Hoadly's Answer to John Sher- man's Eecond, Parsesvinie, O,, Sept. 12.—Gov, Hondly addressed a large audienco hero to-night upon the fssues of the state c:mpaign, His address was devoted In the main, however, to replying to certain portions of Senator Sherman’s speech at Hamilton upon tho southern quec- tion, The speaker eaid ho was flattered by the attention of Senator Sherman, a3 he stood bead and shoulders above every other republi- can in Ohio, Yet he had no hesitation, al- though a tyro,in politics,in takinguptheglove, for it ever man and nrfiumant wera clearly and mischieviously in the wrong, itwas cer- tainly true in this oase, The speaker amd the differenice between tha statesman and the demagogue was that thy former addressed himself to eome wiso and patriotic measure for the benefit of the people, while in these times the latter devoted himself to appealiog to the baser and meaner passions of the peo- ple, of hate and enmity, of blowing the em- bars of the old dispute into blaze without any definite proposition of change, but simply and solely for the purpose of aiding in a par- tiean political canvass, and even though he may have been three or four times elected senator, Senator Sherman, on this occasion and this field, was playing tho part of the demagogue, The epeaker declared that Mr. Sherman, knowing that his reelection to the senate and poesibly his candidacy for the presidency de- pended upon the vote of Ohio this fall, and knowing ibat the people of Ohio were loyal and patriotic, opposed to the southern con- federacy and were satisfied with the result of the war, ho sought to renew the battle fever that he migLt reap the reward in emoluments and salary. The speaker reminded the sen- atos that his party had been in power twenty- four yoors, and if there were wrongs at the south, why had not the party righted them ? More than ten years had elapsed since a major- ity of the southern states threw the shackles off which the 1epublican party tried to put_upon them snd became democratic, R. B, Hayes contrived ascheme of tending a commission to Louisiana to settle the dizputed question of who was elected governor of that state, The result of this was eubmission to Governor Nichole, who received fewer votes than Tilden snd Hendricks, while his antagouists, Pack- ard, had more votes than Hendricks, Nine years have elapsed eince the last southern stats became free from the tyranny of Moscs, of Warmouth, of Packard, of Bullock, of Brownslow, of Pease of Texas, of Powell Cisyton You had the senate and you had the house, and if there was any injustica to be remedied, why was itnot dong? The answer is easy. These 18 no such wrong, There areno such facts, ‘The speaker devoted a lol’gflpmfion of his address to lhu'il‘lf that in Lénnesses the re- publicans of the legislature successfully fili- bustered through two sessions of the legisla- ture to prevent a proper registration law to prevent frauds at the polls, He referred to the statement that he had eought the release from prison of Police Lieutenant Mullen, of Cincionati, convicted of arresting colored voters before an election, He confeesed that he had done_eo, and that he had personally asked President Cleveland for Mullen’s pardon, He claimed Mullen raided negro gambling houre and did confine in jail eight or ten voters, among them a lot of Ken- tucky repeaters, and pleaded guilty, He served eight months and the speaker thought he had been punished sufficiently, Ha de- clared that David M. Key was a Tilden democrat down to the ime of his sppoint- ment in the cabinet of President Hayes. The latter portion of the speech was confined to the tempsrance issue in Ohio, Preparing tor the State Fight in Iowa, Des Moings, Ia., Sept. 12,—The republican and democratic state committee are organizing for the opening of the politicsl campalgn in Towa, It 18 expected that the present openin, on each side will be on the 23d instant.

The sena- ator's eon, Butler, has many frionds among the younger democrats ot “the city, and 1s identified with them socially, thera existing the most agreeabls relations botween them. Of late the young man, so the sonator thought, had been indulging in harmful dissipation, and the senator conclud- ed that Butler’'s democratio associates wera the cause of his delinquencies. With this conviction uppermost in his mind Mahone came down town this afternoon armed with a horsewhip, and determined to wreak ven- geance upon his son’s associates. 'The senator was accompanied on this warlike mission by Captain Aen Rogers, He found his son Butler in company with Alexander Donnan, jr, snd Thimar Hunter, the _ chree young gen. tlemen hmi in a oup mear the club house, As soon as the senator saw tho young gentlomen he walked at once among them, and without explanation grossly insult - ed Hunter taxing him _with bsing suther of Batler’s last dissipation, ¢ Hunter did not resent the imputation, and then Donnap, who turned toward the sonator, was wet by a storm of abusive opi- thets from the irate diguitary, The attack was accompanied by a string of profauity. The senator also menaced Donnan with bis whip and accompanied the menace wih a remark that he intended to cowhide him within an inch cf his life, Donnan, who is very plucky but quity a young man, at once supposed tne sonatur was further axmed. He tharefore produced a pen- knife from his pocke:, rushed upon the sena- tor, caught him by the beard, and holdiog the knife dangorously near his face, defied himto utter another word or make any motion with his whip. They confronted eich other for a moment only. Had Senator Mahope moved he would probably have beeu stabbed, but ba- fore the affair was allowed to culminate, Oapt.
