The Adaina refused this, but Oftrred instead three small’ routes in the West —one from Indianapolis to Cluinnati, one from Louisville to Cincinnati, and one ‘rom Cairo to Cen- traila, Hlinois. ‘The other party iid not see it in that light, and so they agreed to disagree. The Adams Company offered to run the route on the account of the American, but did not offer any compensation for the privilege of an office in Chics eo. The American would not consent to this, and 80 the agreement to disagree was conttnued. There is ® prospect of a lively Nznt between the express compsuies, ‘The Adams Company claims the right to run from Pritsburgh to Chicago by rea. son of its contract with the Pensylvania Central Railway ; this road has leased the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne, ‘and Chicago road, and the Adatns people insist that their privilege to run over the Peansylva nia Central extends to ite leased lines. Here will be @ nice point for discussion and decision, In case the Adams attempts it the American will proceed to open offices between Washington and Boston, and rua upon the route it asked as an equivaient for the Pittshorgh and Chi- cago one, The represeutatives of the American Company may naturally resist the claim of the Adams in regard to the leased lincs of the Penusyl- vania Central, and say that the threatened action of the Adams people will violate @ territorial arrange- ment that has been im optration for twenty-five vears. ——- W DEAL FOR BROOKLYN, seas ty The King's New sc N.

From thefeeneral or- der warehouse the goous are transported toa bonded warehouse, or to private stores, at the cost of tie importers. This custom has deen observed for years, and is regarded matually advantageous to the ship owner and importer, both of whom ewploy their own private cartmen for that purpose, Besides, till the adventof the present Collector, tho ware. house department was deem it seems that now man} LUARS AN HOUR.
