Break of the Southwestern Rate AssocI
alton Pool.

CHICAGO, April l2.-The Southwestern
Rate Association, which for over two
years has successfully maintained pool
on business from Missouri River points to
St. Louis and Chicago, was formally dis
solved to-day, because of refusal Of the
St. Louis roads to allow the new extension
Of the Chicago and Alton road a proper.
ton of the business from Kansas City.
The Chicago and Alton claims its share oi
the business, but the St. Louis roads insist
ed that the claim was unjust, and refused
TO consider Manager ]. G. McMullin's
proposition to arbitate the question. It
Is understood that the break was instieated
by some OF the Executive Board in New
York, and thaswhen matters have shaped
themselves in that city the pool will be re.
sumed on an equitable basis. Meantime
shippers may look for lower freights from
Missouri River points than have been seen
for years.

here short time ago from the East, was
found dead on the floor in his room at the
Baldwin Hotel to-day, from pistol shot
wound in the abdomen. He had been
dead several hours, No fire arm was
found in his room, and as the hemorrhage
was entirely internal, there are no means
OF judging OF his movements after the fatal
shot, and nothing has yet transpired to
throw any light on the affair. He was a

EGYPT.

LONDON, Aprill2.-The Tims SAYS: 18th,
unequiyocal attitude assumed bythe Sui
tan, relative 10 the Khedive, Is doubtlesl
an advantage which England and France
will be able TO turn TO account, but We
cannot 9s yet discern any valid reason fol
England's abandoning the policy Of ex'
treme caution with regard to Egyptian
affairs. The proposal fora Joint expedi.
tion Is manifeStly premature. II a display
Of force was resolved upon, England might
ttndher influence directed to securing good
government, while France would be occu.
pied with even greater energy In defend.
ing the claims Of foreign creditors. Hahn
Pasha, the Khediye's uncle, Is we'll edu.
Gated, enlightened, liberal.minded, and
has lived quietly for several years past in
European fashion on the BoSphorus."
The pressure brought 10 bear upon the
Sultan by the representatives OF England
and France with Egyptian affairs has been
apparently successful, although in some
quarters It Is feared that the Khedive will
defy the Sultan's threat to depose him and
send Hahn Pasha to succeed him. There
Is an opinion also current that when the
special messenger OF the Khedive reaches
the Sultan, and the latter Is fully apprised
o. the khedive's side Of the matter, and OF
the strong popular support which his plan
has received in Egypt, he will withdraw
from his present position, and, as he has
done in other cases, take sides with the
khediVe. But the holders OF Egyptian
bonds are elated with the belief that
France and England will insist upon the
khedive's removalor the reinstatement Of
the Commissioners whom he has dismiss.
ed. There are reports that the Khediye
has been contemplating his new move
ment for some time, and that he has made
extensive preparations for resisting any
attempt on the part OF the Sultan 10 re.
remove him. The Khedive Is now in his
torty-ninth year, and there are rea-
sons to believe that he has for some time
entertained the ambition OF throwing
aside, to certain extent, his subseryiency
TO theSultan and becoming an independ.
ent monarch. He has an army at bis dis.
posal consisting OF four regiments Of in
tantry numbering 1900 men, a battalion
Of chasseurs 1000 strong, $500 cavalry,
an excellent artillery service with 1900
men, and two battaltons OF engineers.
which consist Of 1850 rank and file. Be-
sides these there are two regiments OF
black troops from Soudan, 10000 strong.
His navy consists OF ships OF the line, Q
trigates,9 8 corvettes, Z brigs, IS gunboats,
and q wooden transport ships.

Meeting boiler Of enc Of the largest
mills In the city, our reporter asked him
In regard TO the relative cost Of labor East
and West OF the mountains. |There Is q
great difference, " said he, din regard 10
the work, but not so much In price"
Reporter7What is the difference In
WORK. iHAf fstSptiXt 6fy
Boller-In the majority 'of Eastern mills
the boiling Is not, strictly speaking, boil.
ing, but Il lis pudding. The Eastern boil.
ers have better and finer fuel and get out
more weight TO the heat than those West
OF the mountains. They have one helper,
and heis paid out OF the Office. Here we
have two helpers, whom We have to pay
ourselves.
Reporter-what is the difference in
price?
B.-The Eastern boilers net s. 50 per
ton. while we net about $ 90. Their
work is s'made easier, too, by drying their
We put the following question to an
other operative In q prominent mill: Do
you think the reduction in labor proposed
by the manufacturers OF 10 or Is cents per
keg would enable them with low freights
to send their over.production east OF the
mountains, increase the demand by easing
up the Western market and thus remedy
the depressed condition Of the trade?
Operative NO, sic; Lido not. The re,
duction' in price would only benefit the
consumer. The only way that see IS for
the manufacturers to combine and desiSt
from cutting each others rates; keep up
the card rates and regulate the produc.
tion.
R:-What do you say to the statement
made that Eastern mills can turn out their
product cheaper than Western mills?
o.-That is something i can't UNDER
stand, II there Is anything in It. II they
can do so, why don't they ruR? It is
notorious fact that they are idle most OF |
the time. ! know of a mill that Is filling
an order OF 10000 kegs for Fuller Bros,
who operate mill in New York. That
firm will ship them to Chicago, and how
is 1t that they would have tho order filed
hereit they could make nails as cheap?
The same gentleman expressed himself In
regard to the present depression, saying
that the operatives were willing to cooper
ate with the manufacturers for the ad-
vancement of their mutual interests, and
they would be as happy as the employers
Il anyschenle was proposed by which tue
depression could be alleviated.
