sr. LOUIS, March 20.-At meeting of the
Southwestern Railroad association here to-day,
q committee to rea1range the pool percentage
failed to agree and the meeting ad jonrned to
meet at Chicago April 1st, when the question
will be again discussed. The point at issue is
the demand on the part of the Chicago Il Alton
railroad for increased percentage, on the
ground of now having on independent line to
Kansas City.
The Western Transportation association, CON-
posed of roads in the southwestern pool held q
meeting this evening, and learning that the
Eastern roads will not acquiesce in the anti

from the pooling arrangement all territory east
of Illinois and Indiana. The executive COM

LONDON, March 20.-Prince Gortsohakoff, in
a dispatch dated Feb. 7th, answers Lord Sails
bury's dispatch of Jan. 26th. pressing execu-
ton of the treaty of Berlin by Russia. Prince
Gortschakoff declines to enter upon a useless
discussion. He holds that Lord Salisbury's
dispatch contains nothing which conflicts in
principle with the Russian view Of the execu-
ton of the treaty of Berlin, but it
shows that the Turkish government has
been sometimes mistaken In regard to
the intentions of Russia and her agents. The
latter he says, must support within the limits
of the treaty of Berlin the interests of the
population for whose defense Russia made war.
4 general understanding would be greatly facil-
itated if those populations acquired the con
viction that their interests would be effectually
defended by Europs within the same limits
when the Russian troops were no longer there
to protect them. All shat the British govern
ment and it's agents can do to induce in them
confidence, moderation and resignation. and
thus effect an equitable and pacific execution
of the treaty, will meet with Russias CO.

Arguments in an imp ,rtant law suit wore
heard in district court chambers by Judge
0. P. Stearns, of the Eleventh judicial district,
yesterday, who came to this city for the pur-
pose of hearing the case, pursuant to arrange.
ments of the counsel.
The action is entitled, the Western Railroad

Gov. Piilsbury ct al, and involves the power of
the judicial authorities to interfere with the
executive department. The railroad company
was represented by Gen. Sanborn, Mr.. Clough
appearing in the interest of the defendants.
The questions involved are numerous and in
trlcate, and the arguments adduced were tech
nically vague and drawn out to degree bor-
dering on prolixity, simple statement of the
case spreading over almost 10O folios.
Foremost among the points adduced was that
relating to the right IF the Governor to select
and sell 10O,0 900 acres of land, included in the
grant to the Brainerd branch of the above
named railroad, and apply the proceeds to the
payment of DeGraff Co.'S claim for work
done on the road prior to the failure of Jay

In this connection the court takes into con-

tanning to the matter. in conjunction with the
acts of Congress authorizing the grant, wide

views respecting the law and the principles

Pennsylvania Rolls Up 1000
RepubIicsn Majority.
The New York "Tribune" says, the
Republican outlook has sensibly i'm
proved since yesterday. when it was
impossible to decide whether Mr.. Hos
kins was elected or defeated, and no
notion could be- given concerning the
result on the rest of the State ticket
The complete vote of New York City
aud Kings County is now known, and
shows that Carr, Wadsworth and Ward
ran considerably ahead OF Hoskins.
There seems now to be very strong
probability of the election Of the three
candidates first named, with n prOba
bility, not equally strong, Of the elec.
ton of Hoskns and Wendell. A care
full estimate upon the whole vote 80 far
as known indicates that Hoskins has
a plurality of several hundred votes
over Potter. This may be increased or
diminished by subsequent information,
but the principal counties from which
definite returns are still lacking are
almost all strongly Republican. Among
them are Allegheny, Madison, Monroe,
Schuyler Tompkins, Warren and Yates
all of which have given Republican
majorities.
The figures indicate, however, the
election of Hoskins for Lieutenant Gov
ernor by a few hundred plurality,
and the election of Carr, Wadsworth
aud Ward by from 1000 to $500 plu-
rality. The last three named ran ahead
of Hoskins in this city and in Kings
County, and appear to be elected.
The official vote of Al out of 81 coun-
ties in Pennsylvania gives the Repub-
licans a plurality of over 50, 900, and it
is estimated that the rest of the State
will increase this plurality by about
900. In Nebraska the Republican
majority is about $4,000, nearly 10000
more than in 1873. Nearly complete
returns from Massachusetts, give the
Republicans l3,5OS plurality for Gov
ernor. In eleven Senatorial dis
tricts in Connecticut (nearly one
half the State) the Republicans
have a majority of about 1900 against
a majority of II in 1878. The Demo-
cratic majority in Maryland is about
2l 900 for Governor and the majority
in the Legislature is GO. The result in
Virginia is still in doubt, with the in
lications pointing to a small repudia-
ion majority in the Legislature. No
material changes are reported in the
,ther States in which elections were
leld on Tuesday.

MISS NEILsoN.-On Monday evening

jewels are the most expensive owned
by any actress. On Friday morning
there will be a handsome picture of
Miss Nelson on exhibition at Thomas
& Co. 3 book store.
A dramatic critic, in alluding to her,
says: "She is as pretty and as pleas
ing as when she first led susceptible
Americans captive with her bawitching
smiles and glorious eyes. There is
glamour of the handsome Nelson in all
that the lady does; she is too wise to
allow torrents and tempests of human
passion to interfere with her individual
powers of fascination. She is mechan-
ical in all that she does, but the me-
chanism is marvel of smoOthness-
every attitude shows that it has been
studied, every step taken
that it has been duly considered before
hand. In short, Miss Nelson is Ri
Edwin Booth in petticoats.' Standing
out, clearly outlined among the COM
petitive dramatic aspirants for popular
axatation, she is not only beautiful
" oman but is all artistic of the most re-
lined type. She has all the essentials
and as AT impersonator of the Shakes
1erian character has no equal. She
will play in this city in the "Twelfth

nor, it has great situations, without

as been selected for his or her special
