New YoRK, October 5.-It Ia said that
the meeting Of the railroad freightmen
to-day was lively In character and at
times demonstratiye. 1t appears that
the representatives OF the Grand Trunk
railroad, Canada, are holding out against
the proposed schedule Of the east bound
rates, and are not satisfied with the ex.
listing arrangements concerning the trans.
portation Of live stock. The officers from
a number Of the Western railroads ar.
rived during the night and on the early
morning trains. Corridors OF the Hotel
were filled with railroad men. From
their eager conversation, they seemed to
have some very important business
on hand. They were all very reti-
cent when questioned as 10 the objects
OF the meeting, and refused all
information. The Presidents OF the trunk
lines were assembled in the same hotel,
md when the meeting Of the freight rep.
resentAtives adjourned word was received
from Col. Scott that nothing Of any i'm
portance TO the public had been done.
Responsible railroad men say although
an advance OF five cents will be made on
certain claSsifCationS ot freight, a decline
Of FIVE cents will take place on other
classilications, which will make aggregate
receipts from ireights about the same as
heretofore. il is intended to abolish the
special class, embOdying all goods here
tofOre carried under this head in the
grade known as fourth, class rates, to which
they are to be lowered to meet the change,
Many articles heretofore carried as fourth
class will be transferred to third and sec.

SAN FRAXclsco, October 9Th,
Chroaielc publishes a statement Of J ohm G
Myers, suspended Consul General L
China, in relation to his suspension by
Minister Seward, which lie claims wa.
prompted by improper motives; thai
Stewards hostility was due to the iacl
that Myers had opposed him in corrupt
and improper transactions; that Seward
was interested in building roads and rail
ways in the vicinity OF Shanghai, and used
his influence TO force those enterprises
upon the Chinese people in Contravention
Of the principles Of the International
law and treaty obligations; that Seward
leased the Consulate buildings and rented
them to the United States al profit Of
S4O0 per month; that one OF the United
States MRrshals, John Phoenix, had been
serving five years under temporary ap.
pointment at an annual salary Of 81 600,
while the fees OF the Office had been an.
propriated by Seward and Bradford, Vice
Consul at Shanghai, and the same course
had been pursued with PhGnixs prede.
cessors, and that the records had been
mutilated to cover mp those illegal prac.
tices. These and other transactions were
discovered by Myers and met his opposi.
tion, which occasioned Stewards hostility,
The statement, which was prepared by
the aid Of counsel while Myers was re.
Gently in this city, with the accompany.
ing documents, will be presented to the

New YORK, October 5.-The creditors
Of Frank Leslie to-day adopted report
to the committee appointed to devise the
statement. The report advised the cred.
itors to consolidate their interests and en-.
trust the entire business to n board Of
management, consisting of 5 OF the prin.
cipal creditors. 1t is also stated that at.
ter careful examination the books were
found TO be in great confusion. No bal.
anCe sheet has been made since 1873, and
the books had not been written up since
March last. The business is considered a
paying one. Leslie had drawn very
largely on the resources OF the establish.
ment, the amount being about $4,000
per annum, which in their judgment was
in excess Of the profits. The business had
also been conducted very extravagantly,
The committee thought in three years
the debt could be paid. A plan was pro.
posed that Leslie have supervision Of the
business and be allowed 20 per cent prof.
its as salary, and so per cent be divided
pro rata, quarterly among the creditors.
The board of managers consist Of ex.
