The Public to-day says: Kansas Pa
cific has recently advanced as If
somebody had very definite knowl-
edge of facts calculated to increase
its value. The sudden announce

by our information, and there is no
doubt this road, which already PEN

New YORK, Sept. I9.h.-The
Times sums up the local Democrat
ic split in the following notice of
forthcoming Tammany meet: A
good deal of heated eloquence
might be saved by brief declara.
ton that Tammauy's quarrel with
the Governor is simply and solely
over the spoils of the city govern
ment, and that Tammany's con-
Germ with State or National politics
is now, as heretofore, secondary to
its interest in robbing the tax pay

Regulation Of RnstsoA. Fr@uapes-
taii0n.
NEW York, Sept. 19;h.-A let
ter addressed to w. II. Vanderbilt
by Committee of the Chamber of
Commerce on Railroad Transporta-
ton, ggesting Congressman legis-
lation to regulate railroad traffic
throughout the United States, pro.
poses that the Presidents Of trunk
lines prepare bill to accomplish
the object, to be presented at the
next session, and that the bill be
presented for criticism to represent
atives of commercial bodies in the
several cities on the seaboard who
are directly interested in the mat
ter.
The Herald strongly urges Con-
gressional action. Congress alone
possesses authority to regulate
commerce between the States; but
whatever laws are passed upon the
subject should protect the public
against eXt0rtion as well Us the
railroads against reciprocal Injuries
and violating engagements. 1t
favors the plan of the mission
of Arbitration, clothed with due
authority like the English Rail-
way Com missioners. At the
monthly meeting of the New York
Board Of Trade aud Transportation
Charles Watrous presented a reso-
luton, which was unanimously
adopted. providing for the appoint
ment of committee of five with
power to confer with similar COM
mittees, appointed by the various
commercial, agricultural and man
ufacturing organizations through
out the State, for the purpose of
taking steps necessary to secure the
election in November of those
known to be in accord with the
people in their efforts to obtain
their rights at the hands of rail-
way companies.
