Sept. 4.—[Speeial Telegram to the Bee.]—The western managers’ commit- tee, of which T. J. Potter is chairman, and which was appointed some time ago to pre- parea plan for the formation of a gross- money pool on freight and passenger tarflic between Chicago, St. Louis and Council Bluffs, Omaha and Nebraska points, con- vened yesterday at Commissioner Faithorn’s office, all in the interest being represented. It was first agreed that if a pool is formed it should be for a perfod of five years. 1t was finally decided that it should be virtually the same as thatcomprised In the western freight association. A motion was then introduced that upon the new pool going into effect the commissioner should award percentages parties to the agreement, ened up under them. If any road was dissatisfied it could appeal to the board of control. If the board of control failed to agree it should appoint one arbitrator and the commissioner an- other, and If these two falled to agree they should abpoint a third arbitrator to give the decisive vote, the decision of this board to be final and the percentages awarded to remain in effect for one year, after which another appeal might be faken by any of the roads satistied, — Taereupon Traffic Manager James Swith, of the Wabash, arose and caused something of a sensation by stat- ing his company could not accede to any such proposition, He could see no good reason why the new pool should be formed on new percentages. In his opinion the old western freight association pool was still in effect, and it was as good an agree ment for the roads to work under as any now one that could be devised. An animated dis- cussion followed, mnearly all other lines a king the position that the old pool was dead and could not be revived again. They thonght the Wabash was anunated by a de- amicable settlement of existing troubles, The Wabash denied this charge, The committee was In session till a late hour last night, without coming to an agree- went. They will try it again this afternoon, FORTUNES OF EX.CONFEDERATES Many of Them Have Beon Very Pros- perous, and Some of Them Are Millionaires. General Marcus J. Wright, chief of the confederate records office, is preparing n biographical work, in which the fortunes of the ex-confederate generals will be traced up to date, writes a Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Times, According to the information collected by him a good many of them, southern JorRii found taemsalyae i Sciida after the war, have carved out new for- tunes for themselves, some of them ¢ ranking am. 1@ the millionaires, Gen- Mahone, of \'fi'ginln, is the richest of them. After the surrender at Appomat- tox he owned a horse, some war trap- pings, and his box of uurvc{mginslru- ments, which he had etore the war used asa civil engineer. Inlessthan a week after the last gun had been fired he was employed by the Orange & Alex- andria railroad at civil engineering. He bought stock with the savings from his salary, sold it opportunely, invested in other Virginia railroads, and in a few years retired from the civil engineering to take the position of viee president of the Danville road. From that position he graduated to the presidency of the Norfolk & Tennessco road, After ten years had passcd he was the railvroad prince of Virginia, and is now a million- aire, His fortune is estimated at 000, - 000, and he is adding to it daily by shrewd investments. Senator Mahone is one of the very few men who have never lost in any enterprise undertaken. Whatever he touches scems to turn to gold. Ho is sometimes called the Virginia “Ed Stokes,’ for this reason, I'he two senators from Lousiana, Gibson and Kustis, rank next to Mahone in wealth, Gibson was a confederate gen- eral and served through the war. Al its closo he had soveral hundred acres of the land which had not been tilled for four years and had & musty law oflice in New Oviounes which he had not entered sinee his brigade was ordered to the front.

Now, after:the lapse of twenty years, he ranks among the wealth blanters in_Louisiang,, 13 .at the head of the bar in New Orleans, and is worth considerably over a halfmillion of dol- lars. This will bé'increased eventually to a'million or more us . his wife will come into a large fortune at the death of her mother, Mrs. Montgomery. His col- league, Eustis, after tighting under John- ston until the close of the war, turned attention to law and sugar, and between them has cked out several hundred thou- sand dollars. He is_regarded as the shrewdest man in the New Orleans sugar exchange, and, although not a broker, always has the “tips.”’ He was the can’ didate of the sugar men for the United States senate, and it is 18 said, has a hand in the Lonisiana Lottery company. Nearly as wealthy as the foregoing is General Brown, of Tennessee, twice gov- ernor ot that state since the war and now the receiver of the Te: Pacific railroad. General Brown, hke so many of his associates, took to civil engineer- ing and railroading when he laid down his arms. After constructing several small roads in Tennessce he entered the service of the Texas Pacific at a salary of $20,000 a year and has his headquarters at Dallas? _As & result of his railroad ad- ventures he is worth nearly $1,000,000 and is increasing bis fortune arly. After the surrender he was as as General Mahone, but like Mahone he did not lie back and complam. His first surveying job brought him $15 & woek, but in'a year thereafter he was 000 a yeur as president of the ashville railroad, General Rosser, of the Northern Virginia cavalry, now liv- ing in retirement at Charlottesville, has ate valued at over $700,000. He it all since the war and at rail- roading. After surveying for several years in western states, he beeame con- nected with the Northern Pacific rail- road and was elected its vice president eight yi ).

He hasdostmany thousandy of dollars 1n his viné venture, and yet he cannot be said to be poor with §700,000. General Polignac. who served in the Western Tennessee 'army, is worth not far from a million, He is the French soldier who, at the outbreak of the war, came to this country sand offered his sword to the confederate cause. Though he gained no especial distinetion in_the Iiulh. he fought bravely .till 1865, Find- ing that soldiering did mot pay, he there after devoted his enprgies to civil engin- eering and attained] distinction in the l:ro(.xu n. Several thmes he was sen y the French government on surveying expeditions into Africa, and proved that his daring was equal to his skill. He r ceived several decorations from the gov ernment, and, what W¥as better ¢4 ill,some large government contracts, out of which he extracted a snug fortune. He is still ulu[l)lu_y'n-d in government work, and, it i said, contemplates a visit to this country to see once more his old companions in arms. General Trimble, who lives in Bal more, found a fortune in liquor after the war. The whisky which bears his name found its way into popularity at once, and has so far yiclded the general more than a half million. He owns extensive dis- tilleries near Baltimore, and although very old he still superintends their opera- tions. General Wheeler, of Alabams, now congressman: from the Eighth disurict, after gawing the reputation of being the most daring commandor in the south after J. E. B Stuart, stepped from the saddle into the cottonfield, and from poverty has risen to the richest man in the His estate 15 valued at nearly million. General Gordon, of Gorgia, made a fortune since the war but lost it recently through injudicious speculation. = Five years ago he was a millionaire; to-day he iterally not worth adoilar. General Johnson, United States railroad commis- sioner, has a snug fortune, and.a fow other ex-confederate generals are worth a hundred thousand or more made after laying down theirjarms. .
