Combination Broken.

New YORK, April 12,-The Times to-
morrow will announce that in conse.
quence Of a reduction ins the rates OF
freight by the New York Central Rail-
road, to meet any rate made in New En-:
gland, Mr.. Pickson, manager Of the Grand
Trunk, has declined to consider himself
bound to observe the agreement existing
between the roads, and will make what.
ever rates in freight he may deem proper.
At a meeting to-day Of the representa-
tives Of the Chicago pool lines the Mi
chigan Central, Pittsburgh & Ft. Wayne
and Lake Shore and Michigan Central.
Mr.. Jay, President Of the Michigan Cen
tral, becoming dissatisfied with the pro-
ceedings left the room, and the meeting
was at an end.
The course taken by Mr.. Jay breaks
the pools on east bound freight in Chi
cago and also destroys all existing agree
ments in regard to the rates, on
east and west bound ireights among
the great trunk lines and general
railroad war may be expected. Advices
are received from Chicago that tickets
to New York over the Michigan Central
and Erie roads are being sold at two dol
lars less than the regular rates. The re-
ductions will be promptly met by the
managers OF the New York Central and
other trunk lines which will no doubt
follow their example.

The Political situation in Europe
from N Russian Standpoint.

sr. PErERsDuRe, April12.-The official
IVedinoai, reviewing the political situa:
tion in Europe, says: The relations OF
the great Powers TO each other leave
many things to be wished for. England
and Russia distrust each other. The re-
lations between Russia and Austria are
not clear. Andrassy's position is rumor-
ed to be ambiguous, but new ministry
would make friendship between Austria
and Russia very doubtful. An under
standing can't be considered satisfactory,
il it depends on this or that person, who
for moment holds the helm. Germany's
demeanor in regard TO the eastern
question is not sufficiently manifest to en-
able the people to know what
part she will play in the future,
although Germany has declared
she will leave the initiative in Turkish
affairs to Russia and Austria. There is
no reason to conclude that the Berlin cab
met will remain passive when the deci-
siye moment arrives. Russia estimates
German friendship at the same value that
Germany does Russian. 1t must not be
overlooked how easily, under such cir.
cumstances, the eastern question might
provoke conflict between these two
Empires. Russianoptinus and Ger
manopheles vainly point to the
bond Of friendship that exists between
Russia and Germany and the latter's
thankfulness for Russian aid in restoring
German unity, but thankfulness is un.
known 10 diplomatists. Bismarck is not
given to asentimental policy.
The Galos states that every foreign in
teryention in Turkey will meet with Rus
sia's energetic opposition If directed
against the sclayes and their righteous
requests. The interests Of Russia re-
quires above all things maintenance Of
peace; but Russia, nevertheless, cannot
ignor ethe protectionship Of the Turkish
Christians for the sake Of any alliance,
no matter how elevated, or friendship
however intimate. Tie initiative hitherto
left to Austria is now left to Russia, The
latter will reach the aim sooner than the
former.

Attempt TO Rob a Train.

Fort SCoTr, KS, April ia bold at
tempt was made about l o'clock yesterday
morning to rob an express and mail train
on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas rail.
road at Blue Jacket Station, just over the
southern border Of Kansas in Indian Ter:
ritory. The officers Of the road had
known for some time past that
gang Of daring desperadoes had
organized for this object, and the compa-
ny had taken steps to frustrate their de-
signs by sending out small detective
force to watch them. Three Of the detec.
tives had Joined the gang and learned
their plans, which included the robbery
Of this train. As the train was run on a
side track by the displacement Of the
switch, guard who had been placed
in the cab with the engineer, be.
coming excited and losing bis presence Of
mind commenced firing at the robbers
as they approached the train, at the same
time giving the signal to the others in the
train to come out. This gave the rob-
bers chance to retreat, which they avail
ed themselves Of in haste. Two Of the
gang were captured at Chetopa, Kansas
this morning, and lodged in jail, and ii is
thought that the others cannot escape.

sunday Night SpirituaIism Ii
New York.

kEIuu tut Wu2lu'
Modern spiritualism has come to be a
regular Sunday night show, The phan.
tom jugglers have taken possession OF all
the unoccupicd halls, and purpose, we
perceive, to furnish US with what, for
want Of any better name, must, we sup.
pose, be called q solemn variety enter
tainment, though where the variety is we
fail to understand, for all the feats have
been done over and over again from the
day the magicians Of Pharaoh's Court
initiated Moses, down to the generation
Of wizards and witch-hazel, Emma Mines,
vinegar bitters and prize packages. The
sooner the whole thing as we now have it
is recognized as catchpenny dodge, the
better 1t will be for whatever remains
that has q germ OF truth in it. Honest
men will hardly resort to the impudent
announcements which on Sunday last
drew bowling crowds to the halls where
these bungling necromancers exhibited
their inc0mpetency. Charlatanry is
known, or will be presently, by the adver.
tisements it writes. And there is such a
yawning chasm between the promises Of
the Undertaking. people and their per.
formances, that the public will sooner or
later learn to treat them us they deserve.
When that time arrives, all attempts to
investigate the future by means Of ropes
and banjos will be voted futile by the
most ardent and accomplished mediums.
