freight agent of the Central Pacific R.R.
stated to reporter yesterday that thus
far nothing had been accomplished to
secure an understanding between the
Chicago roads and the Union and Cen
trail Pacifcs. The managers Of the Gen.
tral would gladly prorate if they could
induce the managers Of the Union to do
the same; but every effort for settle
ment had thus far failed on account of
the stubbornness of Vining. the general
freight agent of the Union Pacific, In
his opinion the Central and Union Pa~
cifics should receive something more
than the Chicago or other roads, but he
would nevertheless prorate because bus
mess would be greatly improved there
by, though freight had not fallen off
much on account of the difficulty. The

ness at very low rates.

was owing to the fact that tea going ov-
erland was not subject to such changes
in climate as going via Panama.
