Action of Trunk Line Managers.

New YORK, April ll.-At the final
meeting of the managers OF the trunk
lines. II was resolved that the Presidents
of the trunk lines would not participate,
after to-day, in any lower than the
tariff rates on east nd,business; that
is. on the basis Of twenty cents per 100
pounds for grain and twenty-five cents
for fourth class from Chicago to New
York, unless on property in transit
An agreement Ia this effect was signed
by VIM. II. Vanderbilt, Of the New
York Central; J. W. Garrett, OF the
Baltimore d Ohio; II. J. Jewett, Of the
Erie, and q. b. Roberts, OF the Penn.
svlvania Central.
On the west-bound freight it was de-
termined to divert the freight To the
other roads from those which allowed
rebates, and to hold the trunk line
agents responsible for the strict main
tenance of the tariff votes. The Presi-
dents next confirmed the organization
of the Joint Executive Committee, and
the rules for its guidance, adopted in
Chicago in December, were ap-
proved, with few mOdi-
fications. II was also deter
mined to affirm the principle Of
pools in both directions on all through
freight and passenger traffic common To
anv two or more trunk lines, and direct
their representatives on the joint execu-
tive committee 10 call the full Joint
executive committee together at an
early date to perfect such pools and
and adopt such rules and regulations
for the maintenance Of rates and their
enforcement as the said joint executive
committee may deem just.

WASHINGTON, April IL.
SENATE.

Mr.. Hereford called up Mr.. Hoar's
resolution declaring the Democratic pro-
gramme for tha passage ofthe army bills
to be unconstitutional and revolution
airy, and made speech against it, in
sisting that no such action was contem-
plated as would justify such a conclusion.
Mr.. Hereford in concluding his speech
said: Repeal the obnoxious laws, and
all will be well. Give the people free
elections and fair juries, and peace and
prosperity will prevail throughout our
borders. Repeal these acts and by so
doing reassert the doctrine that men are
capable of self-government without the
intervention of the army.
Mr.. Garland, from Committee on
Epidemic Diseases, reported joint
resolution setting forth that doubts ex-
list as to the legal organization of the

move them. The resolution ratities the
organization and action OF that body.

sage OF the bill.
